Special Years

The flood submerged most of the houses, except for some relatively tall small buildings and tile houses, all of them were in the water.

This places high demands on the driving of an assault boat.

You can't be fast, otherwise once you hit a building or a utility pole under the water, or even any debris, the boat will be destroyed.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenying was familiar with this area, and pointed the assault boat along the original village road, and slowly drove into the village.

Suddenly, Zhuang Yan saw a Mi-171 helicopter hovering in the sky in the distance, and vaguely saw orange life jackets stacked on top of each other falling from the cabin.

"Look there!" Zhuang Yan pointed and said loudly, "Where there is a helicopter hovering, someone must have been trapped!"

"That's right!"

Seeing the helicopter, everyone started to get excited.

Huang Hanrui quickly ordered Tan Yanming to drive the boat towards the position of the helicopter.

From a distance, Jiang Wenying began to shout: "That's my grandfather's house! That's their house!"

Everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, this was actually the residence of her grandfathers that Jiang Wenying was nagging about on the boat last night.

The helicopter saw the assault boat and knew that the trapped people here would be rescued soon, so it tapped the nose and flew away in the other direction.

They must now seize the time to start searching the entire Paizhou flood area, demarcate the coordinates of the trapped people, and send the news back to the search and rescue forces on the ground.

A small two-story brick building gradually appeared in the line of sight, and there seemed to be several figures on the roof.

"Grandpa! Second grandpa! Third grandpa!"

Jiang Wenying stood up in the assault boat excitedly and waved towards the roof.

When the people on the roof saw Jiang Wenying, they also began to shout.

"Is it Yingzi?!"

"It's really her!"

"We are here! Come and save us!"

There seemed to be five or six people on the roof.

Jiang Wenying excitedly said to Zhuang Yan, "These are my grandfathers, Jiang Jude, Jiang Jucai and Jiang Jubao."

These three names sound like three brothers.

The boat approached, Huang Hanrui threw the nylon rope on the boat and let the people on the roof hold it.

"Come one by one, no hurry! How many of you are here!?"

"Six!" someone answered.

"No!" One of the seventy-year-old old men stretched out his hand and waited for a look. "Who said there are only six? It's seven!"

"Second Uncle!" The person who was glared at looked to be in his fifties, and said with a bitter face, "That's not a human, it's a pig."

"It's a pig, yes! But it's my lifeblood, I've been raising it for two years!" The old man stubbornly said, "This pig must be taken away, if you don't take it, I won't go, I'll accompany it! "

Jiang Wenying stood beside the boat, slapped her thigh and said, "Hey! I said, second grandpa, what time is it, you still care about your pig!? It would be good if someone could rescue it! Hurry up and get on the boat, okay? Well, just beg you, don't be stubborn!"

The old man Jiang Jucai insisted: "You can leave the others, but the pigs must be taken away!"

Huang Hanrui looked at his assault boat and thought that the big fat pig was at least 200 kilograms, which would bear the weight of the two of them.

Originally, the load of the boat was not enough, and it could only carry five people. If you took a little risk and squeezed a little, you might get one more when the current was not too urgent.

You can bring a big fat pig of more than 200 catties...

This ship is going to capsize.

The Jiang family on the roof and Jiang Wenying on the boat had a lot of rhetoric, but they were still not convinced by Jiang Jucai.

Time will be wasted if you drag on like this.

Zhuang Yan felt that relying on persuasion might not work.

The elderly are just like children, a little unreasonable.

He had an idea in his heart and wanted to discuss it with Wang Datong, but when he looked back, he found that Wang Datong was also looking at him.

The eyes of the two met, and they were already in a good mood, and nodded to each other.

Zhuang Yan said to Jiang Wenying: "Eldest sister, we can't afford to waste time. Your second grandfather is probably not convinced."

Jiang Wenying blushed, feeling that her second grandfather made a fuss at such a time, it was a real shame.

So I quickly apologized: "Brother, I'm really sorry."

He turned around and said to the two men in their fifties, "Two uncles, you put the second master on the boat. Many people are still trapped and waiting for the boat to save their lives. We can't be so noisy!"

The two uncles hurried to the left and right, and reached out to hold Jiang Jucai.

Jiang Jucai sat down on the ground and started shouting, refusing to get on the boat.

Seeing this situation, Huang Hanrui quickly warned: "Be careful, don't fall into the water!"

"Don't pull it!" Zhuang Yan shouted and stunned everyone. He looked at everyone and said, "My comrades and I went to the roof, the three grandpas got on the boat first, and we and the other two uncles waited here. Come on, after you've sent people, come back and pick us up!"

"But..." Jiang Wenying remembered that Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong had been soaking in the water for two hours and had just escaped, because her grandfather actually...

"No need." Zhuang Yan walked to the side of the boat and climbed onto the roof, followed by Wang Datong.

The two helped Jiang Wenying's two uncles to send the three old men onto the boat, and then worked together to push the big fat pig weighing more than 200 pounds into the assault boat.

"Okay, we'll wait here."

The assault boat began to slowly turn around.

Standing beside the boat, Jiang Wenying looked at the two soldiers who were soaking wet and had scars all over their hands, and suddenly covered their mouths with their hands.

She was afraid that she could not help crying on the spot.

The second grandfather Jiang Jucai stroked his big fat pig, raised his head and waved at Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong with a smile.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong looked at each other again and could only smile bitterly.

Wang Datong said: "You said... the world's rescue troops, are we the first to rescue even livestock?"

Zhuang Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know either."

This time, Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong did not encounter danger like they did before when they gave up the ship's position to others.

After a night of raging floods, the flood has gradually quieted down.

It rained overnight and stopped.

The morning light illuminated the entire Paizhou, and as far as the eye could see, there was a swamp.

Farmland is gone...

The house is gone...

The crops are gone...

Carcasses of livestock float on the water...

Among them, there are also people...

Since 1954, this is the highest water level in the history of Jizhou Bay in recent decades.

Paizhou bends, and the Wuhan water drops three feet three.

This is a folk proverb that has been circulating in the local area many years ago.

It is said that on the night of the Paizhou breach, the water level in Hankou dropped rapidly, and the flood control personnel in charge of monitoring were shocked because Hankou breached the dyke.

In 1996, there was a serious flood situation here. At that time, the people of Paizhou organized the transfer, but the embankment did not burst that year.

Perhaps it was the unharmed after the transfer two years ago, which led to the paralysis of 98 years, which led to this heavy loss.

Sitting on the roof, solemnly looking at the vast flood-like area around him, he was filled with emotion.

More than half a year ago, he absolutely wanted to break his head, and he would never have thought that he would be sitting here today, much less that he would appear here as a soldier to save people.

Although last night, after he and Wang Datong were swept away by the flood, there was a moment when they thought they were going to die.

That's right.

Soldiers are also afraid of death.

Because people are not cats, they don't have nine lives, and everyone only has one head and one life.

However, now he is not afraid at all, but rather anxious.

He wanted the assault boat to come back quickly, so that he could set off again with Huang Hanrui and the others to save people earlier.

Saving people, this was something he had never thought about before.

However, this is also the most meaningful thing for him right now.

What's more meaningful than saving people?

In high school, the solemn politics teacher once discussed with the students in class what kind of life makes sense.

That time, he asked solemnly.

Back then, Zhuang Yan was not a good student~www.novelmt.com~ He even deliberately opposed the teacher, saying that making money is the most meaningful, and doing business as a boss is the most meaningful.

In fact, it is only solemn and deliberate.

During the class, the solemn being asked actually had no answer in his heart, and he just made a fool of himself to deal with it.

He felt that now he finally had the answer.

"Chase, I will always remember this day..." he muttered to himself.

Wang Datong asked, "What did you say?"

Zhuang Yan said, "I only learned today that what I do in life is the most meaningful."

Wang Datong frowned and asked, "What makes the most sense?"

Zhuang Yan said, "It is the most meaningful thing to be able to save someone else's life if you dare to fight for it once. As long as you save someone once in your life, you will be proud of it in your life, right?"
