Xiao Donghai and others quickly dispersed according to Liu Dan's instructions.
There wasn't much else on the assault boat. Since it was a rescue, the rope was indispensable. Zhu Xuefeng threw a bundle of ropes onto the roof.
"Excuse me, let's put down the women, children and the elderly first. I will catch up from below, and the man will help fix the rope from behind."
Zhu Xuefeng and Jian Hui changed to the assault boat and waited to be picked up. The farm personnel who came down, dozens of them, consciously lined up in a line, holding the rope. With so many people holding on, the people coming down should be safe. A little girl was at the front, and the adults behind were loudly telling her to tie the rope. waist.
A slightly fat middle-aged woman dragged a little boy and rushed to the front of the queue that was getting ready, grabbed the rope and tied it on herself.
There was a commotion in the queue, but no one stopped it. Zhu Xuefeng saw it from below and cursed in a low voice.
"Who is this? You are so shameless, you are stealing everything."
Jian Hui blushed at the side, "This is the lover of our deputy director."
>
Zhu Xuefeng suddenly lost his temper and pointed upwards, "Come in order, don't jump in line. If there is confusion, it will easily cause trouble. Lesbian, go to the back and let the children in front get off first."
"Why, you just said that women, children, and the elderly should get off first. I am a woman and an old man, and I have a child with me. Isn't it right?"
Without waiting for Zhu Xuefeng to speak, he held the rope with one hand and slid down with the child in the other. Zhu Xuefeng felt angry. With so many people watching, he had to pick it up.
The rope was also slowly being placed on top. Zhu Xuefeng could only pick up the child and put it in the assault boat first, and then went to pick up the middle-aged woman. It seemed that the middle-aged woman was too heavy. One of them was not paying attention, and the middle-aged woman fell into the water. , and brought Zhu Xuefeng, who was supporting her, into the water.
The assault boat shook violently and almost capsized. The people above suddenly panicked and hurriedly pulled the rope. Unfortunately, the other end of the rope was empty. Jian Hui squatted down, holding down the child with one hand, and holding the assault boat toward the He looked under the water, searching for the two people who had fallen into the water. He wanted to go into the water to save people, but he was worried about the crying children on the assault boat.
This was two lives at once. Something big had happened. Just when everyone was in a mess, in less than a minute, they saw a middle-aged woman who was drowning and dying, being rescued by Zhu Xuefeng with all his strength. On the surface of the water, he reminded breathlessly, "Be careful, this comrade is very heavy, don't overturn the assault boat."
With a lot of effort, the two of them rescued the middle-aged woman into the assault boat. , ignoring the fact that she was paralyzed in the assault boat and vomiting, Jian Hui once again pulled Zhu Xuefeng, who seemed to be completely exhausted, into the assault boat. Zhu Xuefeng also turned pale, held his hands back, and collapsed in the assault boat, gasping for air.
"Are you okay?"
Zhu Xuefeng waved his hands with difficulty, "Let's see how the woman is doing first. Is she not in danger?"
Jian Hui turned her head and said contemptuously He glanced at the middle-aged woman and said, "It should be fine. I'm not vomiting now. My chest is rising and falling. I'm fine."
"I almost drowned, but I'm fine."
Woman He closed his eyes and cursed, as if he was completely exhausted and could no longer speak.
"It's good that you can speak. It proves that there is no danger. Let's save people quickly." Zhu Xuefeng secretly laughed in his heart. He just secretly dealt with this bitch and made her unable to tell her fault. It was very satisfying. He suppressed his laughter and crawled again. stand up.
Working with Jian Hui carefully, everyone learned their lesson this time and were all rescued in the assault boat safely. Seeing that the three assault boats were almost full, Zhu Xuefeng pulled the jet ski. After starting, it headed towards the high ground six kilometers away.
The rest of the rescue went smoothly. After several trips back and forth, more than 300 people were rescued. The farm director shook hands with the six people one by one and thanked them again and again.
“Don’t thank us, the government sent us here, thank the government.” Li Bin was still very measured. Naturally, others also said that this is what they should do. How talented is the organizer Liu Dan? Coming here panting, he was also very tired, and he had to arrange all the chores.
"Yes, comrades, you have worked hard. You have a good rest. You still have to rebuild your home. We have to evacuate. There may be more places that need rescue."
On the farm personnel After insisting, the rescuers took photos with the affected people.
Looking at Yu Haitang who was excitedly playing with the camera, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, "Hurry up, we have to go back. Who knows, there will be all the tasks behind."
"Thank you. , thank you to the organization, thank you to the government, thank you to the party, thank you!”
Before leaving, the farm director and his people kept thanking each other. The group just waved and returned quickly, rescuing two people again on the way. After waiting for a group of people, they successfully returned to the outside of the city. There was no heavy rain, and the water level receded quickly. Now the jet ski could no longer return to the gate of the steel rolling mill, so it had to stop nearby.
Liu Dan found a factory and reported the completion of the task to the city. Zhu Xuefeng also shamelessly called Lao Yang to tell him that he had completed the task and returned victoriously. He heard through the phone Lao Yang was laughing heartily.
This successful rescue made the city very satisfied. Now the brothers have something to do. Countless people affected by the disaster are waiting for rescue. Especially in Fangshan, there are tens of thousands of people waiting to be evacuated. More than half of the assault boats have been allocated to Jinhai City and BD City were worried about the lack of rescue ships. The addition of this new force came at the right time and without any hesitation, they were recruited directly.
The proud brothers, like Zhu Xuefeng, could only ask someone to bring a message to the family, and then they were sent to various places for rescue.
Under the leadership of Liu Dan, the brothers fought in many places in the past few days, eating, drinking, and eating in the floods. This time they experienced the hard work of the rescuers. The performance of the brothers also impressed Liu Dan. Dan stole the show. His dexterous jet ski maneuverability was far superior to that of an assault boat. He repeatedly chased people and supplies washed away by floods in rapids, earning great praise from the affected people.
The five elder brothers did not discredit their fathers, and showed the responsibilities that a second generation should have. They were always at the forefront and participated in dangerous rescue missions many times.
This time, we finally cooperated with the rescue team to safely evacuate tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster near Shidu. Several young men also fell exhausted on the hillside one by one.
The water has been finished. Several people rested their heads on their arms and slumped on the uphill slope. Following Xiao Donghai's suggestion, they chewed the wild vegetables that Yu Haitang had found and used the grass juice to moisten the dry ones. Lips.
"Do you think the couple who were injured by the house can be saved? I think it's pretty scary." Li Bin said suddenly.
"I think it's quite confusing. Why do you think some people are so disobedient and insist on going home to rescue their belongings? Now it's better. Two people were seriously injured. I've been here for a few more days. I It looks like it’s enough.” Xu Mingchuan threw away the vegetable root and stood up.
“I heard that they wanted to snatch the food out of the rice vat. Alas, they were all hungry and scared in the past few years. The two children in that family were so pitiful. Their parents have fallen. Who will come after them? Leave them alone." Huang Yuanshan looked at the sky, his eyes straightened, and he sighed quietly.
"Li Bin!" Donghai! ”
Li Bin and Xiao Donghai seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, calling each other at the same time. The two looked at each other, stunned at first, and then smiled knowingly. "You say it first..." Xiao Donghai still retained respect for the boss of the small team.
"If the couple cannot be saved, the five of us will do this good deed and adopt these siblings together. What do you think?"
"No, we are obviously six people." Everyone understood what Li Bin meant, and several people nodded. Yu Haitang listened in a daze, but Xie Junjie sat up and expressed his objection.
Zhu Xuefeng also stood up to express his position, but his words surprised everyone.
"I can understand your sympathy for these two children, but we are not yet independent and are not suitable adopters at all. This method is inappropriate."
"However, their homes are all It's ruined. If their parents can't survive, their village will be gone. How can they count on their neighbors and villagers..."
Xu Mingchuan also sympathizes with this family and is willing to do something for them. The five of them. There should be no problem for any one of these families to adopt this sibling.
“Let’s put it this way, if the two adults in this family cannot be rescued, it doesn’t matter which one of you adopts them, but since we are still relying on our parents and the country, it is indeed not suitable for adoption, so there is no problem with assistance. . ”
“Adoption is not that simple. You can go to the civil affairs department to find out. In situations like ours, individuals should not be eligible for adoption. If these two siblings have lost their parents and have no relatives, If their home is destroyed, they will most likely be resettled by the Civil Affairs Bureau. There is no need to worry about their lives, the country is their backing.”
Li Bin sighed. What Zhu Xuefeng said was reasonable, but this family was really miserable. He couldn't convince himself if he didn't do something after seeing it.
“If possible, let’s try our best to help. This sister is younger than my youngest sister. It’s really hard to imagine how she will grow up with her younger brother with such immature shoulders. Adults. "
The two siblings are not very old, one is seven years old and the other is four years old. I already knew that this family seems to have no relatives in Beijing, so I don't know about it outside.
“Yes, it’s too young, so adoption is generally based on the family. It not only requires raising an adult, but also providing family affection, such as father’s love and mother’s love. Which of you can give it to a group of young boys? People take it for granted.”
Zhu Xuefeng’s words were too calm, and Xie Junjie felt a little unhappy. Although everyone had shared the joys and sorrows for so many days, and their relationship had become much closer, he still felt that Zhu Xuefeng was too calm. .
"Then what should we do to help these siblings?"
"The first, of course, is to see if we can help their parents survive." Zhu Xuefeng said this He didn't have the confidence to say anything. When they arrived at the mountain, both of them were breathing their last breath. They probably left before the people were delivered. There was nothing Zhu Xuefeng could do about this situation.
Everyone was silent. Everyone could see that it was basically impossible for these two couples, otherwise they would not think of helping the siblings.
"What else"
"One more thing, it is best to find them a normal family that lacks children. This is best for them."
Combined with what Zhu Xuefeng said about father's love and mother's love just now, everyone understands that this is indeed the best for the future growth of the two children.
"Is there anything else?"
"The last option is that if they were not adopted, they would have grown up in an orphanage. We can also visit them regularly and provide them with some care. Help them grow."
"Yes, there may be more than one such family in this flood. Didn't Liu Dan say that there must be more than ten people missing in the first dragon attack here? There are similar families." Huang Yuanshan also climbed up and added.
Li Bin also made a decision at this time. There may indeed be many such children in this flood. Since everyone has contributed, why not make the matter bigger, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Let me tell you, Xiaofeng has given us a good idea. There are probably many more children like this during this flood. Since we can't adopt them, we should take care of those who are not adopted. "Child, didn't Xiaofeng mean the orphanage? How about we go help those children and stop staring at these siblings?"
"That's right, I'm the one responsible for this." Zhu Xuefeng said. Laughing, these people have really changed their minds after this disaster relief. They would never have thought this way before, thinking that they would be too busy to play. Now that they have experienced disaster relief and seen countless victims, it can be regarded as a baptism. .
"You, forget it. You're not at work. You're going to study abroad right away. There's no time left. The five of us are here, so you don't need to worry about it." Li Bin denied Zhu Xuefeng's participation.
Zhu Xuefeng lay down again, "I will definitely get involved in this matter. I will use as much strength as I have the ability."
"Okay, okay, Li Bin also has good intentions. Since you have such Thinking of it, let’s do it this way and count you among them.” Xiao Donghai quickly set his tone.
Yu Haitang finally understood that these six young men wanted to help children who had lost their parents. He couldn't help but blurted out with excitement in his heart.
"There is me, I can help too, I'm at work."
A few people then realized that there was a girl beside them, and Li Bin walked forward with a smile.
"You, Xiao, this is a matter for us elders, so don't get involved. You've had a hard time these days. The tasks here are almost over now, brothers. I’ll take you back later.”
Yu Haitang seems to be a recent graduate and is easily infected by positive emotions, so he will be very determined and won’t give in.
"I also want to contribute to these children, don't stop me, I'll go find Team Leader Liu right now..."
After saying that, he got up and ran away, looking at a pair of swaying Zhu Xuefeng was a little confused with his half-long braid swinging back and forth. This person seemed to be a little different from the character in the play. Maybe he hadn't been polluted yet, and still retained the simple and innocent heart of a student.
When Liu Dan's tired black face appeared again, he brought condolences and encouragement from the city, as well as consultation. Without saying a word, they simply packed up and followed the rescue team to Tianjin. At the rescue site, the floods there have been receding slowly, and the affected area is larger. In the era without Internet and telephones, manual search and rescue was still needed in countless places.
A week later, several people returned to the capital tiredly. Except for Zhu Xuefeng, the others were a little out of shape due to fatigue. They were comparable to the old fishermen at the seaside. They were dark and thin, except for their eyes, which had become deep-set. There is still some energy, and the appearance is worse than that of the disaster victims. The motorboat has been left in Jinhai, and Yu Haitang who followed him back has also changed, he is the same refugee.
The friendship of the battle has brought several people closer. This battle baptism has made several people a little reborn, less jumpy and more steady. They have seen too many disaster-stricken people and faced too many people. There are many exciting scenes, and the soul is purified. (End of chapter)
