Chapter 47: Complete Reputation Change
Hearing her cries, everyone realized that the dark pile of wood was actually the Li family's house.
"What a sin! Did the thunder really destroy the Li family's house?"
When they were in the house, everyone was just guessing, but they didn't expect that the thunder would actually turn the Li family's house into charcoal.
"What on earth did the Li family do to make even God angry?"
Otherwise, why did the lightning only strike their house while the other two families were not hurt at all?
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhao Meifang with strange eyes.
But how could Zhao Meifang care about their looks?
Looking at the pile of charred wood, she could not stand steadily and almost fainted from crying.
On the other side, Shen He led two soldiers to paddle a bamboo raft in the flood.
The bamboo raft moved steadily along the flooded village road, and its buoyancy was unexpectedly strong.
Looking at the ropes used to tie up the bamboo raft, Shen He realized that these things were also obtained by his wife.
"Captain, there are several of our comrades there!"
Before he could think more, the soldier in front of him pointed at the roof in the distance and said excitedly.
Shen He looked up and saw several figures in military uniforms on the roof in front of him.
No one knew how long they had been hit by the rain, but they looked in very bad condition.
Without much delay, the three of them quickly rowed the bamboo raft over.
"Comrades, how are you?" Zhang Chengjun shouted anxiously when he saw the roof was about to be flooded.
Although they were not from their battalion, they were all comrades. Seeing how weak and exhausted they all were, Zhang Chengjun's eyes couldn't help but become sad, and even his voice was choked.
"It's ok, take this uncle away first."
The soldier who was speaking was young and already very weak, but he didn't care about his own safety. Instead, he moved aside, revealing a man who was about 40 or 50 years old behind him.
Only then did they realize that they had actually shielded a villager, forming a human wall to block the storm.
They had been hit by the rain for who knows how long and were obviously exhausted.
No one knows whether it will rain again, but they have decided to give the villagers a glimmer of hope.
Zhang Chengjun's eyes were red, but he still didn't say anything. He just silently took the middle-aged man to the bamboo raft.
This is their responsibility!
From the moment they put on this set of clothes, they had already put life and death aside.
With one more person on board, the bamboo raft was still stable and showed no signs of sinking.
When Zhang Chengjun saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted at them in an excited voice.
"Come down quickly, this raft can still hold more people."
But after hearing this, the young soldier still did not go down, but gave the opportunity to his comrades behind him.
But if he gave up the opportunity, why would others be willing to leave first?
Seeing them giving in to each other, Zhang Chengjun was almost crying in anxiety.
At this moment, Shen He climbed directly onto the roof from the bamboo raft and then gave orders to several people.
"Everyone is here. Line up and get off the raft in order. You are not allowed to stop as long as it does not sink."
Although they were not in the same unit, Shen He's rank was high enough, so during combat, he had no problem giving them orders.
"Captain!" Zhang Chengjun looked at Shen He standing on the roof, his eyes reddened!
Although they have only spent a short time with this leader, they all admire his extraordinary abilities!
Now seeing that he had given up his life to them, he felt mixed emotions!
The soldiers on the roof looked at each other, no one said anything, but they were unwilling to get off the raft!
"This is an order! Go down immediately." Shen He spoke to the people on the roof again.
Hearing the word "command", several soldiers stood up straight reflexively and saluted him!
"Yes, Captain!"
After saying that, they climbed down the bamboo raft with red eyes.
One, two, three, four...
All five soldiers got on the raft, and the raft showed no signs of sinking!
"Captain, there's still room for one more person!" Zhang Chengjun said to Shen He excitedly!
I don’t know if it’s because the bamboo raft was built big enough, but it was able to hold so many people without sinking and it looked very solid.
Shen He, the only one who knew the truth, looked a little solemn.
But he didn't say much, and climbed down the bamboo raft nimbly.
With him on the raft, the raft finally sank a little, but it still had better buoyancy than any raft they had seen before.
A bamboo raft can carry 9 people and still sail steadily in the flood.
The anxious hearts of everyone on the bamboo raft gradually relaxed.
Shen He was very strong, and he could drive a bamboo raft with nine people on it very easily, seemingly without much effort.
Soon we reached shallow water.
Inside the house, Su Ranran had already brought people to cook for the people who were about to be rescued.
Fearing that someone might get hurt, she also took out the medicine she had prepared in advance.
When others saw that she did things so efficiently, they were all very impressed and willing to cooperate with her.
No one knew how long it had been, but Shen He finally led a few weak soldiers and villagers back to the house!
Su Ranran quickly brought a few villagers to deliver towels and hot porridge.
The soldiers who had been trapped on the roof for a day and a night saw the food and swallowed hard, but no one reached out to take it.
It was not until Shen He came in and gave the order that he picked up the hot porridge and began to drink it up.
After drinking a bowl of hot porridge, they felt like they were alive again.
Shen He had already led other soldiers out for rescue.
The other soldiers that their team had sent out to rescue before the rainstorm have not been found yet.
In addition, although some houses were not flooded during the flood, they were collapsed by the heavy rain. We still need to check whether there is anyone inside.
For several days, the couple was busy at the same time, and only when everyone was rescued safely did they completely relax.
The villagers were already deeply moved by their actions.
Shen He is a soldier with a soldier's qualities. No matter before or after the rainstorm, he always leads other soldiers to the front line to help them escape from danger.
As a soldier's family member, Su Ranran always managed the rear area in an orderly manner, from making bamboo rafts to repair roofs to bandaging the wounded.
At this moment, no one remembered those messy rumors.
The only thing everyone remembered was Su Ranran's greatness and glory as a military wife.
Su Ranran didn't care about their thoughts. She did this just so that her man could concentrate on the rescue work at the front.
Fortunately, the result was good. He didn't even have a minor injury until the flood receded.
Not only that, when others were already exhausted, he was still full of energy and led the newly arrived soldiers to clean up the garbage and silt washed up by the flood.
Looking at the man covered in mud, Su Ranran's eyes were a little sad.
He was just like the videos he had watched over and over again.
He is a hero who stands tall and proud.
