As long as there is no heavy rain.
Or if Gu Zhiye was not in Ning County, then the things in the dream would not have happened. Su Niannian once asked Gu Zhiye implicitly, no matter from which perspective, the task of disaster relief would not fall on him. He was in the South China Sea because he had to achieve results, but the Ning County Military Region had a political commissar and Lao Yan above him. He was in charge of the command center and had been running around in various military regions for a long time. The local area had basically nothing to do with him.
After getting her husband's assurance, Su Niannian's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, gradually settled down, but as the rain continued to fall, she was still a little nervous.
This anxiety reached its peak two days later. It was an ordinary evening, but the sky was particularly dark, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. In that situation, Su Jianshan did not even allow his sister to go out for a walk. After dinner, he rushed her upstairs to rest.
The wind in the evening was particularly strong, and it blew off the flowers that Ning Huan had just cultivated, making her furious. The heavy rain came after nightfall, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the eaves, making crackling sounds.
The raindrops fell in lines, creating fog, and it was impossible to tell people and animals apart three meters away.
The whole world seemed to be hit by heavy rain.
In the middle of the night, Su Niannian's door was slammed loudly, accompanied by Su Jianshan's panicked voice: "Sister, get up quickly! Pack your things! The water is rising!"
Su Niannian suddenly opened her eyes, ran out of bed in her pajamas and opened the door.
Su Jianshan outside the door was like a soaked chicken. He kept shivering, his voice filled with fear: "It's raining so hard! It's raining so hard! The dormitory of the art troupe next door has been flooded! The river is rising, and the water in the street is almost up to my calf height. Political Commissar Feng is organizing everyone to evacuate to Houer Mountain. You hurry up and pack your things. I'll go next door to inform them. Hurry!"
Su Niannian grabbed her brother's hand and said, "Brother, change your clothes!"
"It's too late! Wait..."
Su Niannian hurriedly packed up some things at home, while Su Jianshan was busy moving all the things he thought were good to the second floor. All the military wives gathered at the door, and those with their families followed some soldiers to retreat to the mountain. As for the others, they went to the county town to help. Compared with the disciplined military district, ordinary families had the hardest time.
Su Jianshan held his sister's hand, looking back every few steps towards the county town. Their military region was the second batch to evacuate. The water in the streets had reached their calves, and the rain was not decreasing at all.
Su Niannian, wearing a straw raincoat, held her brother's hand tightly and said loudly, "Brother! I'm fine! I can go up the mountain with Huang Saozi and the others. You can go to the family compound to help Taozi! They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. Their family needs help right now."
Su Jianshan hesitated and said, "But...but I have to take care of you."
"I'm fine as long as my sister-in-law and the others are here. I'll just stay on the mountain obediently." Su Niannian smiled sweetly. At the end, she emphasized, "I'm really worried about Taozi. Can you go help her?!"
Perhaps, this is a good opportunity for the Liu family to accept Su Jianshan.
Su Niannian thought.
With her instigation, the originally hesitant Su Jianshan decisively ran towards the streets of the county town. Before leaving, he asked Huang Juan to take good care of Su Niannian. Needless to say, these enthusiastic military wives regarded Su Niannian as their own precious eye.
Even the sharp-tongued Ning Huan from next door came to support her as she prepared to walk up the mountain.
It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. Su Niannian smiled and thanked Ning Huan, "Director Ning, thank you."
Ning Huan was frightened when he saw her big belly, and said expressionlessly: "There's nothing to thank me for! Thanks to your husband for helping my old Feng to pick someone up in Xinxiang, otherwise, who knows what would have happened in this storm. But don't worry, your Gu Tuan is young and strong, this matter is not difficult for him at all. After a return trip, you two will be able to meet tomorrow morning, and I won't have to serve you anymore."
Su Niannian, who was originally smiling, suddenly clenched her hand.
"What did you say?! It's Xinxiang, located in the easternmost part of Ning County?!"
"yes."
"When did it happen?"
"Let's go in the evening. Calculating the time, it's time to go back. Your husband called the reception desk, and you were asleep then..." Before Ning Huan finished her words, Su Niannian suddenly turned around and walked back. The sudden action scared Ning Huan so much that she almost screamed. She said angrily, "Su Niannian, what are you doing? You're a pregnant woman, don't do such dangerous things, okay?!"
"I need to go back to the switchboard room and make a phone call." Su Niannian's words were mixed with a hint of gritted teeth.
"Are you crazy?!"
"I have to go back!" Su Niannian had never been so anxious before, and her anxiety was comparable to the news of Su Jianshan's death in her previous life. She thought that night was a nightmare, but the facts told her that it was not a nightmare, but a real thing. Even though she tried to stop him, Gu Zhiye still returned to Ning County on such a rainy day. Would he go to rescue people? Would he sacrifice all his brothers? !
That was countless lives, and Su Niannian didn’t dare to think about it at all.
Her heart was pounding like thunder. Even though the military wives tried to dissuade her in every way, she insisted on going back. No one would take the risk with her under such circumstances. They were powerless, and the number of people to escort them was limited.
Ning Huan was so angry that she cursed, and finally asked a soldier to go with them and hurried back to the family compound. After all, it was her who caused the trouble because of her bad mouth, and she must be responsible for solving it. Fortunately, the return journey was safe. The communication room at the entrance of the family compound had been flooded a long time ago, and the old electric wires were hanging above it, but they could still be used. When the three saw it, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Sheng, who was in charge of protecting them, went up to make a phone call immediately. Ning Huan rolled her eyes and said, "Just because of a dream, is it that serious? You are so hypocritical. If it weren't for your big belly, I really wouldn't bother to care about you. Everyone's life is precious! I am also my mother's biological child..."
"Sister-in-law, the call is connected!" Luo Sheng, who was responsible for making the call, immediately handed over the microphone. Su Niannian, anxiously, stepped into the water.
She frowned slightly, her movements slightly stiff, then she picked up the phone to express her purpose, revealed her identity, and explained the details and the situation in the county in a tactful way. Her analysis of the terrain made the person on the other end of the phone sweat profusely. The village party secretary who was in charge of the contact didn't want Gu Zhiye and his friends to travel at night, so he hung up the phone and hurriedly chased after them with the villagers, vowing to persuade them to come back.
No matter what, Su Niannian tried her best. Ning Huan, who was standing by her side, urged her, "Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
She had never been so embarrassed before. In order to make a phone call, the three of them were all soaked. The more anxious they were, the easier it was to make mistakes. When Ning Huan turned around, she stumbled and fell directly into the sand pit for exercise next to her. The water level there was deep, and she was so scared that she struggled desperately. Luo Sheng, who was accompanying them, was a landlubber, but he took advantage of his height and rushed forward to pull Ning Huan up.
Su Niannian stood on a high place, turning around anxiously. The little soldier was drenched by the heavy rain. At this moment, he stretched out his wet hands to Su Niannian and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, give me a hand!"
Su Niannian, who was wearing a straw raincoat, did not hesitate, but a pair of hands were faster than hers. The bony hands grasped the soldier's wrists and pulled the two men up.
