Special Years

Chapter 216: Distress overboard

"Uncle..."

Zhuang Yan took a breath and stepped forward to help the middle-aged man.

"You can see if this works, we stay with another comrade-in-arms and try to move out of the way. The young and strong villagers here let the children, the elderly and the women get on the boat first. I am here to accompany the rest of you. …”

His eyes swept over everyone.

Several middle-aged men who were eager to squeeze into the boat lowered their heads.

"This sister Jiang is going to lead the way, and the other two are comrades in our boat bridge unit. They are going to sail, and the two of us stay!"

He pointed to Wang Datong.

Wang Datong nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we stay, don't worry, the troops will come back, trust us."

The other young and middle-aged people also nodded, and everyone slowly moved out of the way.

Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong hurriedly put the old man and children on the hillside, as well as a few women, onto the boat.

There were nine adults and three children on the boat, and there were three slightly stronger men on the shore.

Huang Hanrui sat beside the charging boat and nodded vigorously at Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang Yan, don't worry! I will be back soon!"

After all, the motor roared, the assault boat slowly turned around and penetrated, and soon disappeared into the night.

When the charging boat left, Wang Datong saw that there was no one around, and asked Zhuang Yan in a low voice, "Are you sure the boat will find us?"

In fact, Zhuang Yan didn't think about this at all.

Although I had a map and Jiang Wenying led the way, the lights were dark and the floodwaters almost submerged all the landmarks. There was no way to search for a fixed area according to the original plan.

It was just a random drive before, and I accidentally saw the fire here.

"No." said solemnly in a low voice, "Don't shout with your big mouth."

Wang Datong pouted and said nothing, and followed Zhuang Yan up the hill.

Several people sat by the fire, waiting silently.

No one spoke.

In addition to the rushing sound of the water, and the occasional muffled sound of something hitting from a distance, the silence was terrifying.

Zhuang Yan didn't know how to open his mouth to comfort these ordinary people.

They have no land, no dealers, no houses, and even some people's relatives are still uncertain, and solemnly feels that he is not qualified and has no way to reassure them.

For the solemn, the night was a long one.

The water is still rising, and this small hill that is not high will soon have less than ten square meters of space left for people to sit on.

Those who stay here are clearly starting to get more anxious.

The boat has been gone for an hour and has not come back...

"They..." The middle-aged man who had been howling before suddenly asked, "Will they come back... Will they not be able to find us?"

"No!" Zhuang Yan can only hold on, he can't show his timidity, otherwise the scene will be chaotic.

"Our soldiers never give up our comrades, let alone your common people, they will definitely come back!"

"But this water..." The middle-aged man looked behind him, and the flood had already spread out less than two meters away.

After thinking about it solemnly, he took off his life jacket and handed him to the middle-aged man.

"Take it!"

"You..." The middle-aged man never expected that the soldier in front of him would actually hand him the only life jacket on his body.

life jacket.

In the Flood, that was the only hope of life.

"We've practiced swimming and it'll be fine!"

Looking back at Wang Datong, he said, "Really?"

Wang Datong also took off his life jacket and handed it to another commoner.

"Take it," he said.

There are only three ordinary people, and now two people have life jackets on them.

The hands of the middle-aged man on the opposite side were shaking a little. After a long time, his tears suddenly fell and he said, "The People's Liberation Army... The People's Liberation Army is the greatest..."

Time flies by little by little.

The ship still did not appear in sight.

The water began to completely submerge the hills that were less than five meters high, and Zhuang Yan and others were all immersed in the water below their ankles.

"Standing on the chicken coop, you can stand it for a while!" Wang Datong said.

Several people quickly climbed onto the chicken coop and stuck to the dilapidated brick wall less than one meter high.

"It's over... this time... it's over..." The middle-aged man was a little overwhelmed and muttered: "I'm not reconciled, if my wife and children hadn't died... they might have been rescued and waited on the shore. I……"

The solemn feeling in his heart is indescribable. Now that he is really facing danger, he suddenly regrets why he did not write a letter to his parents properly.

At this time, he realized that he had too much to say to his father.

After so many years, he has been **** for tat with his father, but he wants to tell his father that he is not so shocked to hate him...

Although solemnly learned to swim more than a week ago, he was only a junior brother after all. Facing the extremely fast flood, he had no idea what to do.

The water has already spread to the chicken coop, and solemn feet have been completely immersed in the water.

The small animals that had lost the protection of the land moved closer to the chicken coop once again.

Snakes, mice, and frogs and toads...

No one cares about these anymore, and it's good to be able to leave alive.

Huang Hanrui and their ship, why haven't they arrived yet?

It's been an hour and a half...

Are they lost?

Now that the fire has been extinguished, there are no obvious signs, and the surrounding is terrifyingly dark. Even if a ship passes by, if it is too far away, you cannot see yourself.

"If you hear the sound of a motor later, remember to blow the whistle!" Zhuang Yan said to the middle-aged man, pointing to the whistle tied to his life jacket, "Then they will come to us."

Haven't waited for the middle-aged man to answer.

Suddenly, the earth wall under his feet finally couldn't withstand the impact of the flood, and it all collapsed with a bang, and all five people fell into the water with a thud.

"If we are swept away later, remember, swim over there!" Wang Datong shouted at the crowd, pointing to a few poplar trees that were out of the water not far behind him, "As long as you grab the tree, you will be saved. !"

Majestic searched around for something that could be used as a float, even if it was a piece of wood.

Unfortunately, there is still nothing...

The water has not reached the abdomen.

Suddenly, a wave hit, Zhuang Yan, Wang Datong, and a few ordinary people were directly washed out by the flood a few meters away...

"Zhuangyan! Go downstream along the water!" Wang Datong was the first to get out of the water, and he was looking for solemnity everywhere.

Wheel water, he is better than solemn.

However, there is no solemnity to be seen around, only two ordinary people wearing life jackets are seen floating and sinking to the distance.

"Paddle! Catch the tree! Or you'll die!"

As Wang Datong said that, he desperately swam towards the trees that had been identified earlier.

Zhuang Yan was caught in the water in a dizzy manner, and he was caught off guard by pouring two mouthfuls of turbid river water, and finally surfaced.

Half a month ago, if I encountered this situation, I would definitely die.

Now, he is suddenly thankful that he was tied into the sea with a backpack by Lao Qi.

He suddenly understood a truth. Although the squad leaders and officers in the army looked rough, they were actually saving himself.

They use various coercive means to force themselves to learn various skills, in fact, they want to prevent themselves from losing their lives in vain at certain critical moments.

"When you go back, you must ask Lao Qi to go to the small shop and have a good meal of dace and boiled noodles!"

Fortunately, it has been more than six hours since the embankment burst, and the water flow is not as urgent as it was when it just burst, and it has become relatively gentle.

Although Zhuang Yan's armed swimming is not excellent, he can protect himself in this situation.

But physical strength is limited, and I have to grab the tree by myself. If there is no tree, sooner or later, I will drown in the flood area.

In the distance, he saw Wang Datong floating on the water, about thirty meters in front of him, swimming towards the agreed tree position.

"Chase!"

While paddling solemnly, he tried his best to align his drifting route with a few poplar trees.

"Follow me!" Wang Datong didn't dare to stop or turn his head when he heard the solemn voice behind him, for fear of missing the position of a few trees.

The opportunity, only once, missed and I don't know how long it will drift to find another tree.

In case you can't find it...

Waiting for yourself can only be a dead end.

Zhuang Yan did everything he could, and he felt that he was stronger and better swimmer now than when he was swimming.

Death seems to be a beast hidden in the darkness behind him. As long as he relaxes a little and is careless, he will jump out of the darkness and swallow himself...

Wang Datong was the first to catch the poplar tree.

When several other people passed by him, he was caught by him, and the arrangement of one tree and one person was properly arranged.

Veterans are veterans. In terms of psychological quality, Wang Datong is calmer than solemn.

This is because he has already participated in sea training and has good swimming skills.

Fortunately God bless.

Zhuang Yan did not miss a few poplar trees, he grabbed one of them and clinging to it.

Suddenly, he felt something moving above his chest.

Looking down, my scalp felt numb.

A few toads and a snake.

He didn't care about being afraid, and quickly pushed these things away with his hands, then climbed up to the tree, and found a tree branch and barely stepped on it.

"Are you all right?"

"fine!"

"I...I'm still..."

The three commoners were already shivering with fear.

"Now, we can only wait..." Wang Datong looked around and smiled helplessly.

Thinking of the whistle solemnly, he said to the middle-aged man in the life jacket, "Remember, blow the whistle when you hear the sound of the motor."

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly started to blow his whistle.

Drop drop-

The crisp and sharp whistle echoed above the pitch-black water.

"What are you doing!?" asked solemnly.

The middle-aged man said, "I heard the sound of a motor!"

"Really!?" Zhuang Yan quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Sure enough, the sound of the motor really entered the ear.

However, it didn't sound like the motor of an assault boat.

"It's a helicopter!" Wang Datong pointed to the sky and shouted loudly.

A dark shadow with a few small lights appeared in the night.

"We are here!!! Come and save us!" The middle-aged man waved to the sky for the first time.

Zhuang Yan smiled bitterly: "It's useless, they can't hear..."

The last time I rescued a squadron 1 in the mountains, Zhuang Yan had seen a helicopter up close.

The sound of the airflow and the propeller near the helicopter can cover everything~www.novelmt.com~ Not to mention the sound at a height of 100 meters.

The searchlight under the helicopter's belly was like a bright beam of light, sweeping across the water.

The middle-aged man was not reconciled, so he picked up the whistle and blew it violently.

Zhuang Yan can only pray now that the pilot or crew on the helicopter can see himself and several other people on the water.

Or, there will be a miracle that they actually hear the whistle below?

However, a few minutes later, reality brutally slapped the solemn face.

Miracle did not occur, the helicopter circled nearby for a while, then turned around and flew elsewhere.

The surroundings fell into silence and darkness again.

Everyone's heart is colder than the surrounding river.
