Xu Bo'an had been busy all day because of learning the art of flying knives.
After I came back, I was busy practicing and working on fluoroscopy, and I was exhausted.
If it weren’t for a comfortable bath in the villa, Xu Boan wouldn’t even bother to go home.
With Chen Pingping waiting on her, after Xu Boan returned home, the hot water had been put away.
After taking a bath, Xu Boan went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
This made Chen Pingping a little depressed outside the house.
In the middle of the night, he arranged for me to put hot water on and said I wanted to take a bath, but then, nothing happened?
Looking at the piece of beef with soy sauce that Xu Boan gave to herself, Chen Pingping felt dumbfounded.
Xu Boan had a dream. In the dream, he and Ouyang Najie went to Yunyu again.
At the end of the dream, the two said goodbye reluctantly.
Xu Bo'an reluctantly asked: "Promise me not to leave, okay."
Ouyang Najie shook her head: "I swore never to stay for any man again, and never believe any man's promise again." "
Xu Bo'an asked in a low voice: "But I am innocent."
Ouyang Najie lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Xu Bo'an, and said softly: "I'm sorry. It’s not aimed at you, I hope you respect my choice.”
After saying that, Ouyang Najie turned and left.
The rain poured down, and her back disappeared into the rain curtain.
Xu Boan woke up, feeling quite sad.
There was a sound of thunderstorm outside the house, and Xu Boan realized that it was really raining.
Xu Bo'an observed the situation inside the bonsai. It didn't rain inside the bonsai. Unlike when it rained for the first time before, the inside and outside of the bonsai were linked together, which made Xu Bo'an almost think there was an inevitable connection or something. drop.
In the bonsai world, due to the heavy rainfall a few days ago, some water has been stored in many places. Even in the three small pits Xu Boan dug before, there are now three full pools. The villagers were not in a hurry to fetch water. There was still a lot of rainwater collected in pots and pans at home.
I was thinking that if the weather was bad, I wouldn't go to the company.
A phone call came: According to instructions from superiors, in heavy rainfall, a flood prevention team needs to be formed to step up safety inspections of various project companies.
Xu Boan contacted the person in charge of the Quality and Safety Department, and soon the Quality and Safety Department came up with a plan for the beginning of the year.
According to the plan, Xu Bo'an, as the company's chief engineer, needs to take a leader of an agency department to the Cangyuan No. 2 Bridge project department in Cangyuan County, which is under the greatest pressure during the flood season.
After receiving the news, Liu Quan, who was delivering food to his wife at Wanda Plaza, rushed to Cangyuan County in Xu Boan's car.
Before Xu Boan could pass by, another call came. It was the person in charge of the Cangyuan No. 2 Bridge Project Department in Cangyuan County.
“Mr.
“Stop talking nonsense, how is the situation?”
“Because of the sudden flash flood from the nearby mountain, most of the equipment on the project was flooded. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Already hiding in a high settlement.”
When Xu Boan heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as everything is fine.
We’ve come here, we can’t just go back in despair. What's more, as the leader of the company, I have to cheer everyone up and offer some condolences at this time.
Although Xu Bo'an left in a hurry, he didn't have time to prepare condolences or anything.
But Xu Boan believes that as long as you have the ability, these are trivial matters.
Xu Boan stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the project.
Xu Bo'an and Liu Quan just got out of the car and saw Liu Dongwen crowded in the resettlement site.
After the project manager introduced him, Xu Boan knew that Liu Dongwen was here for investigation.
Liu Quan muttered softly: "What is there to investigate in an idle department? It's really nonsense!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said nothing.
In the workplace, it's important to get along even if you don't agree with each other, and you have to get along in terms of face.
Moreover, Liu Dongwen is also Xu Boan's old leader, and now he is considered a guest of the superior group, so he has to live up to his reputation.
The most important point is that Xu Bo'an knew that Liu Dongwen was terminally ill, and the wrongly bound medical record that was almost misunderstood as Xu Bo'an's was Liu Dongwen's.
There is nothing to worry about.
After a brief greeting and cheering everyone up, I saw an old man in his sixties trotting not far away with three or four men and women of about the same age, even tremblingly. come over.
The project manager standing next to Xu Boan said curiously: "The person in front is the village chief of Wangjiagou Village here. What are they doing here?"
Due to doubts, The men were already approaching. Several old women in the team were still wiping away tears, obviously crying, but it was just in the rain, so you really couldn't find it without paying special attention.
"Leader, leader, please help us." The old man at the head shouted before he could stop.
While shouting, he walked a few steps quickly and almost fell down.
Xu Boan hurriedly supported the old man and said, "Old man, what's wrong? What happened?"
The old village chief gasped and said: "I am from Wangjiagou Village above. Several children in the village are trapped in the willow trees at the entrance of the village, but the water is too heavy and we can't get through. I would like to ask you for help. Can you use it? Excavators and large trucks helped to pick up the children.”
Before Xu Bo’an could speak, the project manager said bitterly: “Village Chief Wang, have all our vehicles and equipment been left on the project? Come out, it’s already soaked in water!”
At this moment, the backward old people also rushed over, and just when they heard the project manager’s words, they stopped crying suddenly. It emerged again, crying and wailing.
“Leader, please save my grandson. My grandson is only eight years old!”
“Leader, please, our granddaughter’s parents are still alive. I haven’t come back from working outside. If something happens, how will I face them?”
“Yes, leader, please save us, otherwise we won’t be able to survive.” "
The old village chief's face suddenly became even more ugly, and a helpless panic appeared in his eyes: "How can we fix it? How can we fix it? These children are only ten or eight years old. Ah!"
Xu Bo'an said hurriedly: "Village Chief Wang, don't worry, you can lead the way, and we will follow together to see if there is any other way."
Wang. As if grasping a life-saving straw, the village chief nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, thank you so much. Come here and follow me."
After that, he turned around and hurriedly led the way. walking.
Xu Bo'an turned around and said to the project manager: "Go and arrange people quickly to get all the life jackets and life buoys prepared for the project. Call all the leading cadres on the project to follow and check the situation."
Project Manager He nodded and got ready to go.
Xu Boan shouted to the technicians and workers working on these projects at the resettlement site: "Brothers, there are more than a dozen little kids trapped in the water in the upstream village. Is anyone willing to help? If you want to help, come up with me and have a look."
As soon as Xu Bo'an spoke, four or five young men followed him. Xu Bo'an took a quick glance, remembered the faces of these people, and shouted immediately. : "Thank you brothers for being willing to follow me. I won't say any more nonsense. Let's go there quickly."
Ten minutes later, Xu Bo'an came with a group of people. Arrive at the village upstream.
Looking around, there is a large forked willow tree in the middle of the flood that is more than ten meters wide. Look at the terrain, this willow tree is probably the political, economic and cultural center of Wangjiagou Village! This is where the elderly in the village sit and chat in the sun.
I never thought that one day, it would serve as the guardian of the village and stop the raging flood that was about to take away the children in the village.
On several branches of the willow tree, several children hugged the trunk tightly. If they were counted carefully, there were six children. They all looked young and were shivering at this time. Trembling and crying.
Due to the impact of the flood and the weight of the children, the branches of the willow tree seemed to have been bent a little and were in danger of breaking at any time.
An old man cried helplessly: "Niuniu, don't worry, I will come to save you right away."
The old village chief looked at Xu Bo'an anxiously and said: "Look, leader, this place is the entrance to our village. The terrain is just like a ditch. The water depth is now one and a half meters and almost two meters. There is no large machinery. I'm afraid it won't be possible to pass." Ah." Hearing this, the project manager hurriedly said: "Mr. You won’t win!”
Xu Boan didn’t say anything. He glanced sideways at the water surface. Because the heavy rain continued to fall, the water level here continued to rise. If he waited, it would get worse. It's dangerous.
Xu Boan took a deep breath and fell into a dilemma.
If there is a child opposite, he will go over immediately, there is no need to hesitate.
But there are so many children on the opposite side now. He might not be able to comfort them if he goes there alone. If the children get out of formation and rush to ask for help, it will be even more dangerous.
The safest way is to mobilize a few more people with good water skills to swim together to ensure that no trouble occurs.
But with such a big flood, no one can guarantee that it will be foolproof. People come out to work, not to work hard. As a leader, Xu Bo'an has to think about his brothers.
Besides, whether these people can still listen to themselves at this time is also a question.
Xu Boan was thinking when suddenly, screams of surprise came from the crowd.
Looking around, on the willow tree, a thick branch actually broke in half in the middle. Fortunately, the bark branch was still flexible and did not break completely. It was just the child on the branch who was holding the branch in fear and was teetering. It's like a fishing rod, hanging on the water.
The other children were even more frightened and cried louder, one after another through the torrential flood, reaching Xu Boan's ears.
Do it! Can't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, it will be too late!
Xu Bo'an shouted: "There is a brother who can swim and thinks he is not bad. Put on a swimsuit and shower with him!"
As he spoke, Xu Bo'an had no time to care about others. , taking the lead and jumping in, jumping into the surging yellow flood.
He was confident in himself, so he didn’t wear a life jacket anymore, not to mention that the few life jackets prepared on the project may not be enough!
Unexpectedly, almost at the same time, the voice of Zha Mengzi also sounded next to him.
And the other party was still wearing a life jacket. It was obvious that the other party had already made a decision when Xu Boan was having a fierce psychological struggle.
Xu Boan looked sideways and realized that the man was actually Liu Dongwen!
Xu Boan never expected that this person would be him!
Thinking of Liu Dongwen, who used to be a loser in pursuit of fame and fortune, Xu Boan could not connect the person in his memory with the person in front of him who was wearing a life jacket without any hesitation.
Liu Dongwen saw Xu Boan looking towards him and shouted with a smile: "Don't be stunned, let's go quickly. When I was young, I was the runner-up in our Dongjiang City Amateur Swimming Competition!"
< br>Xu Boan smiled and gave Liu Dongwen a thumbs up, and hurriedly swam towards the child lying on the broken branch.
With Xu Bo'an taking the lead and Liu Dongwen's example, three people soon put on life jackets and jumped in. Even Liu Quan gritted his teeth and put on the life jackets in the same manner, not forgetting to pull them on. He grabbed a long safety rope tied to the shore and then jumped into the flood.
His family background is good. In the inland city of Dongjiang, he was among the first among his peers to learn to swim. After all, swimming was a valuable activity in the inland cities of that era. way of movement.
Xu Boan soon swam not far from the big willow tree.
What he worried about happened.
The six children on the tree cried out to Xu Boan for help. Some even stretched out an arm to wave their hands to Xu Boan, trying to attract Xu Boan's attention.
Fortunately, Liu Dongwen was only half a beat late and arrived in time. He hugged the big willow tree and said: "Children, don't be anxious, uncle will accompany you here to wait for other uncles. Come together, okay, this uncle will take away the youngest friend first, otherwise the branch will break. Everyone, be obedient, and I will give you chocolates later."
With the comfort and company of adults. , the children on the willow tree were indeed much quieter and stopped shouting randomly.
On the contrary, there was a young child who was so greedy that he forgot to cry and said: "Uncle, are you talking about sweet or bitter chocolate? I like sweet things."
Liu Dongwen patiently talked to the child. The children chatted.
Soon, the three people arrived belatedly, carrying a child on their backs one by one, and swam towards the shore.
Because there were still two children left in the willow tree, Liu Dongwen still did not leave, lest the remaining child would feel scared if he stayed alone in the willow tree.
Xu Boan swam more than halfway when he saw Liu Quan swimming cautiously.
Xu Bo'an saw that Liu Quan was struggling a little, and immediately shouted: "You have so little endurance, why are you joining in the fun? Quickly help me send this child over, and I will save the next one."
< br>Liu Quan didn't dare to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf anymore. He obviously felt that he had overestimated himself. With his current physical strength, he might not be able to swim over and back again.
Immediately took the child from Xu Boan's back, said sorry, and then turned to the river bank and swam.
Xu Boan was completely relieved when he swam to the willow tree again.
There are only two children left, one for him and Liu Dongwen, so there is no surprise.
The two looked at each other and smiled, obviously relieved.
"You can't tell, Mr. Xu, you are very good at water. If you go to participate in the competition, I'm afraid you can get a ranking." As he spoke, Liu Dongwen first reached out to hold the obviously larger one. The child must be carried on his back.
Xu Bo'an said hurriedly: "Mr. Liu, since you think so highly of me, I will carry this child, and you will carry the younger one at the back."
Liu Dongwen smiled, Without arguing with Xu Boan, he said: "Okay! You go first."
Because the two children were hugging the tree one after another, naturally the older child in front left first.
Xu Boan swam out for a while carrying the child on his back. Seeing Liu Dongwen also carrying the child on his back and following him, he felt relieved and continued swimming forward.
Because of his fast speed, Xu Boyan arrived at the shore more than ten meters earlier and sent the child ashore.
Those people who came back earlier have already taken off their life jackets. Their abilities and physical strength are limited. No one dares to go down anymore, and it seems that there is no need now.
Xu Boan was about to turn around and ask Liu Dongwen if he wanted to help, when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the shore.
Xu Boan hurriedly sped up and turned around to look, and saw not far from the river, a fence gate made of bamboos tied together suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the water, and rushed over with the flood.
In a blink of an eye, they were already in front of Liu Dongwen and the child.
Xu Boan's eyes widened and he wanted to do something, but it was too late. I subconsciously swam there, but in the end I was still half a point away.
Everyone present saw that at the critical moment, Liu Dongwen suddenly turned around and blocked the child's body with his own body.
The sharp bamboo suddenly pierced Liu Dongwen's body, and a burst of red suddenly appeared on the turbid flood water.
Xu Boan arrived in the blink of an eye, fought hard behind Liu Dongwen, and shouted: "Old Liu, how are you?"
"Take...the child...and go!" Liu Dongwen He forced a smile at Xu Boan, and the blood in his mouth stained his clothes with the flood.
Xu Boan could tell with just one glance that Liu Dongwen was probably hopeless.
Soon, with the concerted efforts of Xu Boan and two people who jumped into the water to help, the child and Liu Dongwen were brought back to the shore.
In front of Liu Dongwen, a sharp bamboo was pierced into his heart.
Liu Dongwen was lying on the ground with a pale face. Xu Boan could not bring him back to life even with the help of a miraculous doctor.
"I want to save people!"
Still motionless.
"How can I save him?"
Still motionless.
"With the power of incense and wish, I want to extend his life!"
There is still no movement at all.
Nothing can be done about it!
Liu Dongwen could no longer speak. He waved his hand to Xu Boyan with great effort, waved to everyone, and then fell stiffly.
I don’t know who cried first. Everyone present was red-eyed, including Xu Boan.
In the world of bonsai, there was suddenly a strong sense of calling.
For the first time, Xu Bo'an was too lazy to check the situation inside the bonsai.
Let the rain hit his face coldly, he held Liu Dongwen's hand motionless, tears streaming down his face. (End of this chapter)
