Chapter 109 Take a look at the situation
The captain glanced at everyone and shook his head, "Captain Xiao, since we are fully prepared, everyone's life is pretty good, so there is no need to move out, and there is no need to cause trouble to everyone."< br>
When Xia Chan saw the army's rescue team coming, she quickly said to everyone, "Everyone, come quickly and make ginger tea for the comrades in the army to warm their bodies. If they are sick, they will not be able to participate in the rescue activities. Then give it to the comrades in the army. Cook some food to give them the strength to save more people.”
So many people came over to make ginger tea, then put the ginger tea in teapots and handed it to the military comrades.
Xia Chan went up with the ginger tea and realized that it was Xiao Yunfan who was leading the team. She quickly handed him the ginger tea in her hand. Xiao Yunfan took the ginger tea and looked at her with red eyes, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
"Captain Xiao, do you have time to rest here for a while?" Xia Chan asked.
"Since your team doesn't need to evacuate the trapped people, we have to rush to the next place. We can't stay here for a long time." Xiao Yunfan said.
Xia Chan nodded and hurried down, "Is there any prepared food? Hurry up and bring it to the military comrades for a few bites. They will go to other places for rescue soon."
After that, everyone brought hot food to the soldiers and comrades of the rescue team to eat. Although it was not a very good meal, it was not easy to have such food in this period.
The members of the rescue team took the food and wolfed it down.
Xia Chan quietly stuffed some White Rabbit toffee into Xiao Yunfan's pockets, stuffing both his pockets full. She also took out a raincoat she had sewn from her backpack and gave each of them a raincoat. pieces.
"This is the raincoat I made myself from plastic cloth. It works well. When your raincoat gets torn, remember to put it on." Xia Chan warned.
The people in the rescue team thanked Xia Chan one after another. They didn't expect that Xia Chan prepared so meticulously.
While Xiao Yunfan was returning his teapot, Xia Chan quietly said something to him, and Xiao Yunfan nodded to show that he understood.
When they were about to leave, Xiao Yunfan said to the villagers below, "Hello, fellow team members, we found this cave during training, and the things in it are also ours. When the rain stops and everyone goes home, we will We can just put our things in order here. If there are any special circumstances, I hope everyone will not come to this cave, because we still come here to practice occasionally. I hope everyone will cooperate.”
The captain nodded beside him and said, "Of course, of course, few people in the village come here, so don't worry, Commander Xiao."
The main reason is that it’s too far to come here. Who has time to walk for such a long time to come here?
The rescue resources themselves are limited. This time, the Yongan production team did not occupy the rescue resources. They hurried to the next place. The rescue team repaired a little and left without stopping.
No one had any objections to the captain's suggestion not to move. After all, it was still raining and the way down the mountain was difficult to walk. Moreover, the resettlement site was definitely not as comfortable as the cave, so everyone refused to move to avoid causing trouble to the troops. , if you don’t share the few resources.
Finally, on the eleventh day of sheltering from the rain, the rain slowly became smaller and finally stopped completely. Then a rainbow hung in the distant sky, and everyone laughed happily. The captain arranged for the strong laborers to go out to check the situation. After coming down from the mountain, they found that the water level in the village was still very high and they could not get down for the time being, so they asked everyone to continue to stay in the cave peacefully. It was useless to go down the mountain and they could not go home. .
And even if you go home, you can’t live in that house and you have to clean it up. Some people have to build a shed first and then rebuild it!
After another two days, the water level receded a lot. The captain took the men down the mountain first, while the women, children and old people continued to stay in the cave. When they first came, every household brought one or two hundred kilograms of water. Food, you won’t go hungry.
After a few days, the water level receded, leaving behind mud and sand all over the house.
Even if they go down the mountain at this time, there is no place to live, so the women, children and old people continue to stay in the cave, waiting for their men to come up to pick them up. Xia Chan wants to drive the tractor back, so she also goes down the mountain. She wants to go Check the situation to see if the road from the town to the production team is clear. If the road is full of mud, she will not be able to drive the tractor back.
After coming down from the mountain and entering the production team, the mud was quite deep. When I stepped down, my entire knee was in the mud. It seemed that there was no way to release the tractor for the time being.
When Xia Chan was about to turn around, she couldn't pull her feet out at all. She had to sit down on the mud. When she was about to fall into the mud, suddenly a pair of arms stretched out and fished her out. stand up.
"Thank you..." Xia Chan was about to say thank you, but her eyes suddenly opened wide, "Xiao... Captain Xiao, why are you here?"
"I lead the team here to take charge of post-disaster reconstruction issues. If you have any questions, you can come to me." Xiao Yunfan carried Xia Chan to a place without mud before putting her down, "Didn't I ask you to stay in the cave? Why did you run down?”
"I just came to check on the situation." Xia Chan was embarrassed and took a few steps away. "I just thanked Commander Xiao. I'll go back first and won't disturb Commander Xiao's work."
Since she can't go to the village, she should go back to her home to have a look. Her home is halfway up the mountain, so there shouldn't be such deep mud, and her brothers are helping to clear the mud in the village, so she can cheat.
After the rain cleared up, although there were only women, old people and children left in the cave, everyone was quite bored after living in the cave for several days, so they went to walk outside the cave. However, the mountain road was muddy and it was difficult to walk even a few steps. The shoes were dirty, so no one walked far away. The things Xia Chan planted on the mountain were naturally safe.
Xia Chan quietly went to the place where she planted watermelons, picked all the small watermelons on them, and threw them on the ground to use them as fertilizer, because after so many days of rain erosion, these watermelons would not grow even if they grew up. It tastes too good to be eaten, so I might as well pick it.
Anyway, as long as the watermelon seedlings don't die, new watermelons will grow.
Xia Chan returned to her home and found that part of the courtyard wall had been washed away, but there was no problem with the house as a whole. She was very happy. As long as the courtyard wall was repaired, it would not cost much.
Because of the high terrain, although there was mud in the yard, there was no mud at the door of the house. That is to say, the water did not flood into the house, but only passed through the yard. Xia Chan quickly took out the shovel from the yard and walked from the door to the house. After clearing a path at the door, we returned home. Fortunately, the roof was not penetrated by the rain and the house was not too dirty.
