Chapter 88 Oh, God, you are blind!
"Everyone, please be safe. Our mission this time is to transport the supplies trapped in Dongtou in batches."
Everyone quickly put on their life jackets and a total of four assault boats were dispatched.
Before leaving, Ye Ying looked back at the villagers behind her.
In the crowd, besides Ye Shuncheng and his wife who looked worried, Ah Xiang waved at them and said, "You must come back safely. And Ye Ying, you must be careful too!"
Ye Ying nodded heavily and left on the assault boat.
Just as Ye Ying said, with the help of villagers, they were able to clearly identify the direction and found the place where the supply truck was trapped without too many twists and turns.
So far, three supply trucks have arrived, mostly carrying food supplies, water, some tents, cold-weather gear, and medicines.
If they only rely on four assault boats, they will definitely have to make many trips, so they can only prioritize transporting the most needed food and water to the base.
If we make more than ten trips like this, we can basically guarantee one day's supply for the station.
Seeing Ye Ying and her crew transporting supplies back one boat after another and working very hard to help carry the supplies to the land, the group of people who usually disliked Ye Ying wisely kept their mouths shut.
Many villagers also consciously went over to help move supplies.
They wanted to continue shipping some more supplies, but He Peng suddenly ordered to temporarily stop shipping supplies.
Ye Ying immediately opposed it.
"Why stop? What about the comrades who are still fighting the flood? They haven't eaten for a long time."
He Peng shook his head and said: "Protecting the masses first, the PLA can still hold out."
Then he hurried to the flood fighting front.
Food and water were available, and the villagers were replenished and restored.
But looking at the green figures struggling in the mud in the distance, Ye Ying frowned.
The food they brought back was only enough to sustain the villagers for one day. The villagers did receive supplies, but the PLA soldiers had gone nearly a day without food or water.
Although He Peng said they could still hold on, she didn't believe it at all.
If it weren’t for the Holy Mother, if the People’s Liberation Army hadn’t risked their lives to rescue them, everyone in their village would have been washed away by the flood long ago.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying suggested transporting more supplies back.
He Peng and the search and rescue team took all the assault boats away, and they only had three inflatable rubber boats left.
The other two comrades were a little hesitant at first, and they did not dare to move out without the battalion commander's order.
But when they saw their brothers struggling to resist the flood with their bodies at the dam, they gritted their teeth and immediately returned to the rubber boat.
Wang Lijun did not agree with Ye Ying going, thinking it was too dangerous for her to go alone.
But Ye Ying looked determined.
It's not that she's trying to be brave, but she thinks that after all, she is now a military wife, and she can't just have this strength for nothing, she should do something.
"Village Chief, please let me go. I am a military wife after all, and I must live up to this identity!"
"Don't worry, I'm a big fat guy, and my weight is here, so I won't be washed away by the flood easily!"
All the men in the village who had hands and feet went to help the People's Liberation Army build protective sandbags and temporary embankments. Now, those who remain in the resettlement site are basically the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and women and children.
While Wang Lijun was still hesitating, he heard a woman's panicked voice behind him.
"Oh my god, it's so hot, does my dog have a fever?"
Everyone looked at him, and Wang Lijun hurried over to touch Goudan's forehead.
The heat on his forehead made him frown subconsciously.
"It looks like he has a fever. Can you guys help me look for any medicine in the supplies?"
So everyone helped to open the supply boxes one by one, and found that they were all filled with dry food and water.
"Oh no, they are all food. Goudan is still young, he can't do without fever-reducing medicine!"
At this time, Ye Ying said, "That's perfect. Village chief, please let me go with these two comrades. I'll bring back some medicines!"
Wang Lijun hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to let Ye Ying and two other comrades go to transport the supplies together.
Without the antipyretic medicine, who knows what will happen to Goudan and his children.
What if something unexpected happens?
With Wang Lijun's approval, Ye Ying quickly put on her life jacket and left in a rubber boat with two other comrades, Huang Quan and Su Yu.
But for some reason, the two rubber boats changed their course temporarily on the road and went into the downhill slope of the rapids.
Ye Ying didn't know what the two of them were doing there, and she didn't dare to act rashly, but it looked like she should go and rescue someone.
After a while, what Huang Quan and Su Yu brought back were not the villagers of Dayan Village, but two cold corpses.
The two men were wearing green camouflage uniforms.
The two comrades who died were among those who went on a search and rescue mission last night and whose whereabouts were unknown, and their life or death remains unknown.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ying couldn't help but tears up in her eyes.
She asked Huang Quan and Su Yu to take their bodies back to the base first and then come back, while she herself held back her tears and went towards the supply truck first.
Huang Quan and Su Yu returned to the temporary station, choked with sobs as they carried the bodies of their two comrades to the land, then took off their military caps and saluted solemnly.
At this moment, someone burst into tears.
Then a woman with pigtails was seen rushing out from the crowd and suddenly appeared in front of the two mud-covered bodies.
"My two good comrades, you saved my life at the risk of your own lives in the fierce flood!"
"But I haven't had the chance to repay you yet, why did you just leave like this? Oh, God, you are blind!"
"Comrades, please wake up! This cannot be true..."
The woman knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing, but was soon pulled away.
But her desperate cry infected everyone present, and many people also sobbed.
The villagers who were rescued by the two sacrificed comrades burst into tears.
Having just experienced a natural disaster in which two PLA comrades lost their lives, the villagers of Dayan Village were filled with despair and grief.
Ye Ying drove the assault boat alone towards the supply truck, but she was not a native villager and was not very familiar with the road, so she accidentally deviated from the direction.
The water was vast and she had no idea where she was at the moment, but she was sure that she was above the farmland.
In the distance, she saw a figure looming on a tree in the distance.
Ye Ying hurriedly moved the rubber boat closer to the tree and found that there was indeed a person hanging on it.
But as soon as she saw the man's face clearly, her eagerness to save him disappeared, and she immediately turned around and drove the rubber boat away.
