Chapter 474 This car can really hold
That year, her eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to her first child and was in confinement in her hometown. When the baby was just one month old, she planned to move back to her parents' home.
But the heavy rain outside never stopped, and it continued for four or five days, making people feel anxious.
Liang Xiulan was making dinner when she suddenly heard a loud noise outside. She walked out the door and saw that the mountain behind her had collapsed.
Then we saw a torrent of muddy water rolling towards the house.
She hurried back to tell her daughter-in-law to take the child upstairs.
Seeing the mud and water coming into the house, she was worried that the things in the yard would be washed away, so she hurriedly put them into the utility room.
But in less than five minutes, the water had reached the base of her thighs.
The flood was so fierce that it almost washed her away. If the kitchen door had not been closed and she had not grabbed the door frame in time, she would have been washed away.
Her eldest daughter-in-law came down from the second floor, took a hemp rope, and sent the end of the rope along the water flow to her side. She grabbed the rope and dragged her to the stairs, and she was saved.
Whenever she thinks of what happened that day, she is terrified. She almost died at the age of 47.
She was reminiscing when she suddenly noticed that Jiang Jinzhou was not walking towards home.
"Eh? Where are you going?"
"Go to the county government! Didn't you say the flood would pass through Lin County? We need to inform the county governor!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Liang Xiulan only thought about her family and completely forgot about the entire county.
Men have a bigger vision than women.
"But what will we say when we get there? Will the county magistrate be trusted?"
Jiang Jinzhou said with a firm expression: "Whether he believes it or not is his business. This concerns the safety of the entire Lin County. We have to speak out!"
Soon, they arrived at the county government, but when they asked, they found that the county magistrate was not there.
"Where did he go?"
"The heavy rain washed away the provincial road, and he went to investigate."
"Where's the county party secretary?"
"The county party secretary also went."
Even at this time, you are still putting on a show.
The provincial road is too far away. Jiang Jinzhou can't drive there and then go home. There is no time left.
He quickly went to the county magistrate's secretary's office, picked up the phone and started calling.
He called the fire station, the police station, the radio station, and everything else he could think of.
He made more than a dozen calls in half an hour and had no time to explain. He only talked about the severity of the flood.
He used his former glory as a national hero as a guarantee to challenge those people's trust in him.
After the call, it was almost five o'clock, so he hurriedly drove Liang Xiulan home.
The rain was getting heavier, and the road was difficult to walk on. Liang Xiulan kept reminding him, "Slow down, slow down, there's still time!"
Jiang Jinzhou: "I know..."
Finally, before half past six, we arrived at Shangyao Village.
At this time, the village was carrying out evacuation work.
As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I saw a familiar tricycle.
That is Liang Jianguo’s tricycle.
When Liang Jianguo received a call from Liu Guizhi, he quickly notified the village chief.
At first the village chief didn't believe it, but when he saw the water entering the house, he believed his words and quickly organized people to evacuate.
He was also asked to go to Shangyao Village to report the news.
He rode his tricycle to Shangyao Village, reported the news to the village brigade, and then hurried to find Jiang Huai.
Xue Shuzhen is paralyzed on one side of her body, so he has to come and help his in-laws.
As soon as Jiang Jinzhou and Liang Xiulan pushed open the door, they saw Jiang Huai carrying Xue Shuzhen and Liang Jianguo carrying luggage walking out.
"Eh? Jinzhou? Why are you back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang.
The sound was far away, but very clear.
When Liang Xiulan heard this voice, her heart suddenly tightened.
"Oh no! The flood is coming. If you have anything to say, wait until you get home. Let's go! Hurry!"
“Get in the car!!!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai quickly carried Xue Shuzhen into the car.
Liang Jianguo originally planned to ride his tricycle, but Liang Xiulan pulled him onto the van.
"No, it's too dangerous to ride a tricycle at this time. Take a car!"
"What about my tricycle?"
“No!”
He slammed the car door shut and quickly sat in the passenger seat.
As soon as the car started, Jiang Jinzhou's uncle and his family slowly walked out of the house and looked at the water flow outside.
Liang Xiulan quickly waved to them: "Don't waste time, the flood is coming, hurry up and get in the car!"
"What?"
The sound of the rain was too loud and it was a bit far away so I couldn't hear clearly.
Jiang Jinzhou immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove to his front door.
"Hurry up and get in the car, it's too late!"
Jiang Huai and Liang Jianguo opened the doors on both sides of the car together, rescued the person and stuffed him into the car.
Uncle, aunt, Jiang Xuzhou's family of four, and Jiang Xuzhou's younger brother.
The small van was packed with people, even the trunk was filled with people.
Jiang Jinzhou drove straight to Lin County.
Lin County is located at a high altitude, so even if there is a flood, it will just pass by, which is better than staying in Shangyao Village.
Fifteen minutes after they left, a huge flood came roaring in from Xiayao Village.
It swept away the big trees, grass roots, stones, those who did not believe in Liang Jianguo, and those who were reluctant to leave their homes.
Like a surging river, it quickly passed through Shangyao Village, carrying away Liang Jianguo's tricycle, telephone poles, many tables, chairs, benches, gates, etc.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that I couldn't see the road ahead.
The sky was like a big hole, and rain poured down. It was not raindrops at all, but a waterfall.
The wipers swung back and forth rapidly, but had no effect at all. Jiang Jinzhou could only drive based on his intuition.
The accumulated water has already overflowed the wheels. If there weren't enough people in the car, I'm afraid the car would have been carried away by the water.
The journey that used to take half an hour now took Jiang Jinzhou an hour and a half as he walked upstream.
When I got home, I saw Liu Guizhi kneeling under the eaves, praying to the sky.
Pray that Liang Xiulan and Jiang Jinzhou can bring their families back safely.
Hearing the sound of a car, she hurried down to the basement to open the door.
As expected, Jiang Jinzhou came back, and she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
"I'm back, I'm back, I'm finally back..."
"I was so scared..."
Jiang Jinzhou drove the car into the basement, and Liu Guizhi quickly closed the door and put up the floodgate.
When the car door opened, people got out one after another.
Liu Guizhi sighed, saying that this car can really carry a lot of things.
Finally, Jiang Huai walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk.
Liu Guizhi: “…”
"Why is there still something in the trunk?"
Jiang Huai laughed awkwardly and pulled Xue Shuzhen out of the trunk.
"There's not enough room in the car for her to sit, but the trunk is spacious enough for her to lie down comfortably."
Xue Shuzhen: Fuck your mother, I almost drowned, and you bully me because I can’t speak. Otherwise, I will crush you to death, you old bastard!
On the way back, the rain was so high that it got into the car. Xue Shuzhen was lying in the trunk, and the rain even flooded over her ears and almost reached her face.
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak and didn't dare to move. Even if she cried for help, others thought she was being unreasonable.
Fortunately, domestically produced vans are durable, otherwise if Jiang Jinzhou's engine suddenly stalled halfway, or if there was a delay a little longer, Xue Shuzhen would have been drowned by the flood.
