Volume 1 Chapter 344 The rescue came back, but he didn't come back
Sheng Wanyan went to find Aunt Xie. Political Commissar Xie reads the newspaper every day and has the latest one at home.
When Aunt Xie saw her coming to borrow it, she went to get it for her without saying a word.
"Your uncle Xie has seen all of these, so feel free to take any."
"Thank you, auntie."
Sheng Wanyan took a few of the latest copies and went home to sit down and read them slowly.
I saw that many soldiers were washed away by the water during this mission and could not be rescued.
Many people were drowned and killed...
Sheng Wanyan frowned. The collapse of a reservoir would always be an extremely serious crisis in future generations.
What's more, in this era of insufficient rescue equipment, it is a catastrophic disaster.
There were no yachts in those days, nor were there any facilities for water rescue.
It all depends on manpower, and once the water level is extremely deep, the consequences will be unimaginable.
She could already imagine what the country was facing this time and what Gu Tingxiao was facing.
Sheng Wanyan rubbed his chest and paused when he saw the latest newspaper.
Title: "Rescue is over, a total of 200 soldiers died in the rescue of the reservoir collapse!"
Sheng Wanyan widened her eyes and stared at the news in the newspaper in her hand.
Sheng Wanyan's hands were shaking and the newspaper fell to the ground. The woman was still staring at the newspaper on the ground with red eyes.
Sheng Wanyan firmly believed that Gu Tingxiao would be fine, but the number of sacrifices hurt her eyes.
Is it really okay...?
Sheng Wanyan had frequent nightmares for several days in a row. She dreamed of Gu Tingxiao being washed away by the water and of him being unable to survive.
Four days later, the rescue soldiers came back, and Sheng Wanyan quickly ran out with Yi Yi in her arms to see them.
Sheng Wanyan saw Sheng Wanze, who had many wounds on his body and his eyes were red.
Grandpa Sheng, Grandma Sheng and Pan Yue all came out with Hu Zi in their arms. When they saw that he had returned safely, they happily held his hands tightly.
The moment Sheng Wanze saw her, his eyes were evasive and he didn't dare to look at her.
Sheng Wanyan's heart skipped a beat and she walked over and grabbed his arm.
"Brother, where is Ting Xiao?"
Sheng Wanyan stared at him intently, and Sheng Wanze lowered his head.
"Yeah, where's Xiao Gu?"
"Have you reported to your leader?"
Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng looked left and right, but didn't find Gu Tingxiao, so they looked at him.
All the soldiers on the car have gotten off, but why is Xiao Gu still nowhere to be seen?
Grandpa Sheng, Grandma Sheng, and Pan Yue felt instantly disappointed when they saw Sheng Wanze's evasive expression.
"Ozawa..."
Grandma Sheng asked him tentatively with a trembling voice.
Not only Sheng Wanze had red eyes, but even his comrades who were on the mission together also looked at Sheng Wanyan with red eyes.
Sheng Wanyan felt that there was only the sound of the wind in the air. She could not hear the joy or discussions of the military wives.
All he could see were everyone's red eyes, as well as the silence of Political Commissar Xie and the military district leaders.
Captain Feng knelt down in front of her and slapped himself in the face repeatedly.
Each snort was very loud. When Qiao Hehua saw it, she widened her eyes and looked at her husband.
"Sister-in-law...it's all my fault."
"The leader was washed away by the water in order to save me."
"We have been searching for three days but have not found the leader..."
"Sister-in-law, it's all my fault...it was my captain who was washed away by the water."
"It's all my fault, sister-in-law, please beat me to death."
Captain Feng knelt on the ground and confessed. Qiao Hehua heard that Captain Gu was washed away by the water because of his man.
He knelt down and cried and confessed, saying sorry to her every word, and even pulled his son to kneel down with him.
Their family feels sorry for Sheng Wanyan, and they will spend their entire lives atonement for their sins.
Everyone's eyes were red and they couldn't help crying.
Captain Gu’s child lost his father when he was less than one year old.
And my sister-in-law...she had only been married to the team leader for two years, and now she's lost her husband.
Sheng Wanyan looked at the person on the ground. Her throat felt like it was stuck by a thorn and she couldn't make a sound.
My eyes were filled with tears, my vision became blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Political Commissar Xie and the military district leaders stood in front of her and opened their mouths to say something.
But seeing how distraught she looked, I couldn't say anything.
Because they knew that Gu Tingxiao's chance of survival was basically zero.
The water was so deep that it would be difficult for him to survive if he was washed away, and everyone searched for him for three full days.
There was no trace of him, and I had no idea where he had been washed away.
"So...you all think he can't survive, so you're not looking for him anymore?"
Sheng Wanyan asked this question in a very hoarse voice, looking at them with eyes full of disappointment.
"Comrade Sheng Wanyan, everyone has searched the area for dozens of kilometers..."
If he were alive, he would have been found long ago.
The leader didn't need to say the latter part of this sentence, Sheng Wanyan already knew what it meant.
Thousands of people searched for three whole days, but they didn't find anything on Gu Tingxiao.
We can't waste all our time on this, there are so many people waiting for rescue.
Sheng Wanyan knows the duty of a soldier and everyone’s helplessness.
But she just thought it was ridiculous, very ridiculous! So ridiculous!
It is ridiculous to give up the search without confirming whether someone is alive or dead!
All around were the sounds of people crying in pain, as well as the confessions of Captain Feng's family.
Sheng Wanyan's consciousness became increasingly blurred until she could hear nothing.
"Yan'er!"
"Little sister!"
"sister in law!"
Sheng Wanyan fainted, and Sheng Wanze quickly caught her and Yi Yi.
"Quick! Send him to the hospital!"
Political Commissar Xie yelled and ordered everyone to send the person to the hospital! ! !
The scene was in chaos and Grandma Sheng was crying inconsolably. Pan Yue quickly took Yi Yi and carried him back home.
Sheng Wanze carried Sheng Wanyan into the car and rushed to the hospital. Political Commissar Xie quickly followed to see what was going on.
Grandma Sheng cried so hard that she fell to the ground, and Grandpa Sheng pulled her with red eyes.
In the end, the two old people were helped back by everyone, and their energy and spirit were gone in an instant.
"My miserable Yan'er!"
Grandma Sheng was sad when she thought about her granddaughter having to live alone with her child in the future.
I feel so sad. Why should my granddaughter suffer like this?
What will she do with her cigarettes in the future?
How much injustice must she have endured as a woman alone with a child!
Grandma Sheng felt a pain in her heart whenever she thought about all this, and felt even more suffocated when she thought about how Yi Yi had lost his father at such a young age.
Why doesn’t God feel sorry for his granddaughter?
When my granddaughter becomes a widow in the future, she will be looked down upon and disdained by so many people!
In this era, if a woman loses her husband, she will be bullied!
Grandma Sheng cried so hard that she couldn't breathe and almost fainted.
Pan Yueba carried Yi Yi and Hu Zi back home, and hurried out to help Grandma Sheng go back.
"Grandpa and grandma, my brother-in-law just hasn't been found yet, it doesn't mean he's really gone."
"The Gu family must have also heard the news and will arrange for people to continue looking for him."
