Chapter 86: Get up quickly, see Ji Lianqi?
After receiving the emergency assembly notice, Wei Hongxing had no choice but to turn around and leave, saying, "Linlin, wait here for me to come back!"
Then he quickly disappeared out the door.
Sun Lin in the room originally thought that if he persisted a little longer, she would open the door for him.
But I didn't expect that there was silence outside the next moment.
Sun Lin ran to the corridor in a rage, just in time to see Wei Hongxing and another soldier appear in the yard on the first floor.
It was hard to tell whether it was anger or grievance that surged in her heart. Although Sun Lin knew that Wei Hongxing must have suddenly received an urgent task, she still couldn't control her disappointment.
She shouted angrily to Wei Hongxing as he ran away:
"Wei Hongxing, if you dare to leave today, we will get a divorce when you come back!"
Wei Hongxing paused, turned around and looked at Sun Lin deeply, then walked away with firm steps.
I'm sorry, at this moment, I can only temporarily forget that I am a husband.
Half an hour later, the troops and equipment were assembled and organized. Hao Yonggang assigned the tasks and asked the three battalion commanders to lead their troops to different villages.
Ye Ying and her companions stayed on the wall for most of the day, unable to see due to the rain.
In desperation, Ye Ying risked swimming back to the house to find some worn-out raincoats and umbrellas.
But the rainstorm showed no sign of stopping. The water level had already flooded the wall of Widow Li's house, and they could even play with the water with their feet while sitting on the wall.
If the rain doesn't stop and the flood doesn't recede, they'll be finished.
When will the rescue arrive?
Is this the end of my life?
When she thought of this, Ye Ying's mood sank to the bottom.
She brought nearly 1,000 yuan she earned back to the village with her. To prevent it from being washed away by the flood, she wrapped the money in a plastic bag and stuffed it into her bra.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend all the money.
Are they just going to die here?
Maybe it was because they thought that the game might be over soon, everyone was in a bad mood at the moment.
Ye Ying glanced down at An Xiaotong and was about to say a few words of comfort, but she heard someone calling her name from a distance!
"Ye Ying!!"
She looked up with joy and saw several figures in camouflage uniforms riding a assault boat towards them.
One of them was waving at her.
Could it be that Ji Lianqi is here?
Ye Ying simply couldn't believe it and rubbed her eyes.
But as the assault boats got closer, Ye Ying realized that she had recognized the wrong person.
The person waving at her was not Ji Lianqi, but He Peng!
Several assault boats were filled with disaster-stricken villagers, and there weren't many empty seats. They must have already been through a round of search and rescue operations, so they probably had to separate for a short while.
After several PLA soldiers secured the assault boat, He Peng shouted to them:
"Come up quickly. I'll move you to a safe place first. This place is about to be lost."
Ye Ying nodded and told An Xiaotong to go up first if there was a vacancy, and they would meet again later.
Then, after the old couple and Widow Li were safely aboard, he boarded He Peng's assault boat.
"He Peng, you came just in time!"
He Peng sighed, "No one would have thought that such a severe flood would occur at this time!"
Ye Ying looked at the collapsed houses around her with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, there was a loud noise suddenly coming from behind.
The wall where they were originally staying was half collapsed by the flood!
If it was a step later...
Ye Ying swallowed a little fearfully: "Where's my brother? Why didn't he come?"
"Ye Ning went to Dawang Village, and Ji Lianqi went to the neighboring Xiangyang Town."
He Peng knew that Ye Ying definitely didn't just want to ask about Ye Ning's situation, so he subconsciously told her about Ji Lianqi's whereabouts.
"It was Hao Yonggang who assigned me here. We didn't know about it beforehand, so I was assigned to your village."
"Alas, this flood has flooded several surrounding villages and towns, and your village is the worst hit. It is because I have experience in flood control that Hao Yonggang arranged for me to come here."
Ye Ying was silent.
It turned out that Dayan Village was not the only village affected by the disaster, but their village was the worst hit.
He Peng saw that Ye Ying was a little disappointed and comforted her:
"They will come over after they finish their support, don't worry too much. Everything will be fine."
Ye Ying nodded and said nothing.
The people sitting on this assault boat were all elderly people. In their entire lives, had they ever seen such a tragic scene?
Seeing their homes flooded and their crops and fields destroyed, several elderly people cried.
Seeing this, He Peng turned around and comforted them: "Ladies, as long as you live well, what you lose will always come back! Life safety comes first!"
"Local leaders will not sit idly by and will help everyone rebuild their homes!"
The old ladies covered their lips and nodded with sobs. At the moment, they had no choice but to believe the words of the PLA comrades.
The dashing boat went downstream along with the water flow and soon arrived at the village entrance. The terrain became wide outside the village entrance.
When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Ye Ying looked back and saw that a large area of houses behind her had been completely submerged by the flood.
Only the black roofs were visible in the turbid flood.
God...if He Peng had shown up a little later, they really wouldn't have survived.
When Ye Ying, He Peng and others passed by the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, they heard a cry for help from the tree.
"Help! Comrade, save me..."
Hearing the sound, everyone on the dashjack looked up and found a person hanging on the tree trunk with a local dog in his arms.
Ye Ying felt that the person above looked familiar. She looked closely and found that it was Ke Xingda, the educated youth who accompanied her to the town to sell potatoes that day.
Unexpectedly, this educated youth was a kind and caring person. Even when he hid in the tree, he did not forget to bring the dog with him.
He Peng looked at the other assault boats and saw that there was no room for them. His own boat was also unable to accommodate anyone, so he made a mark on the locust tree.
Then he shouted to the people in the tree: "Comrade! Hold on to the tree for a while longer, our lifeboat is full!"
"We will first transfer these people to a safe place and then come to rescue you. Don't worry, I have marked it. Other PLA comrades will come to rescue you if they see it!"
Kexingda, who was hanging on the tree, responded and made an "OK" gesture to them.
It is not clear yet how many people are trapped, and the search and rescue will become more difficult after dark.
He Peng did not dare to delay and hurriedly drove the assault boat towards their station.
Although Dayan Village is located in a plain, it is the lowest among the surrounding villages and the closest to the river. So when the flood came, they had no way to deal with it.
