Chapter 223: Saving People (Tribute to Mr. Lu Yao)
PS: The first more is presented! Just this article and the plot of this chapter pay tribute to my respected Mr. Lu Yao and his "Ordinary World"!
The gray sky made people feel unusually depressed, although the rain was getting smaller, it was still as dense as a bead curtain, Su Chenyu took Tian Xiaolu on the way home - bidding farewell to the "front line" that had been fighting for several days and nights.
With Tian Mingli's repeated instructions, Su Chenyu held an umbrella and walked into the rain curtain with Tian Xiaolu in his arms.
Looking at the two people in the rain, Tian Mingli smiled, shook his head, nodded again, and stood in the rain watching the two snuggled.
As the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the heavy rain curtain of fog, Tian Mingli's heart couldn't help but feel as if he was about to lose something very important.
Shaking his head fiercely, Tian Mingli secretly said, maybe he was too tired in the past few days, and he actually had these strange feelings.
Because the distance between Pengcheng city and Yishui Embankment is quite far, and a small town surrounded by Yishui tributaries has to be crossed in the middle, so if the two want to get home before dark, it is estimated that they will have to speed up.
Fortunately, the rain gradually decreased, as if it was selling favor to the two of them, as if they were making it easier for them to hurry.
However, along the way, Su Chenyu and Tian Xiaolu's hearts were uncomfortable, because Yishui showed his cruel side in this tributary basin.
On the surface of the tributaries of Yishui, which is mixed into the main stream of Yishui downstream, there are a large number of corpses of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and other poultry and beasts, which is a scene of great mourning in the world.
In the long turbid flood, only the trunks of uprooted old trees are used as bridges in the water, giving grace to people in distress, and becoming their last "Noah's Ark" for those who have time to escape for their lives in the future.
Although Su Chenyu really wanted to save those who climbed up to the top of the turbulent flood and waited for rescue, it was obviously not enough with the ability of the two of them, and only returning to the city as soon as possible to ask for help was the greatest "help" for them.
Looking at the flooded villages on both sides of the embankment - the bare and bare rooftops in the flood, the trees that kept swaying in the water, and the telephone poles standing alone, Su Chenyu and Tian Xiaolu were extremely sad in their hearts.
In particular, Tian Xiaolu had red eyes, although she had seen the great power and destructive power of this flood on the embankment, but she had never seen the miserable situation of people after the disaster.
At this moment, the kind-hearted Tian Xiaolu felt that her worldview had collapsed, and she had been living in an ivory tower only now did she see the cruelty of this world. The tragic scene along the way whipped the world full of love and beauty in her imagination all the time, and every whipping was bloody and bloody - this world is not only beautiful.
Walking all the way, looking around all the way, with tears in her eyes all the way, Tian Xiaolu held Su Chenyu, who was holding an umbrella for her, and scanned the turbid water with pity.
"Help, help...... Hell...... Woohoo......"
A weak shout passed through the rain curtain and continued to be sent into the ears of Su Chenyu and Tian Xiaolu.
"Xiaoyu, did you hear the cry for help?"
Tian Xiaolu grabbed Su Chenyu's arm and asked anxiously.
The arm that was grabbed by Tian Xiaolu hurt a little, Su Chenyu nodded and said, "I heard it, let's go ahead and look for it." β
The two of them trotted forward anxiously, constantly scanning the murky water, searching for the source of the cries for help. Fortunately, the view of the bare water surface was better, and Tian Xiaolu quickly found the source of the cry for help.
"There it is. β
Following the direction of Tian Xiaolu's finger, Su Chenyu saw a little girl in a red dress in the flood not far away, holding a telephone pole that was half flooded, and let out a faint cry and cry for help in the wind and rain.
The little girl struggled to hold on to the telephone pole, her feet had slipped into the floodwater, and her body was slowly sliding because she could not hold on to the life-saving telephone pole.
"Save ...... Oh my life, woo woo ......"
The little girl let out a desperate and heart-rending cry for help again, but her voice was already weak to the extreme, when a wave swept over herβand rushed over the little girl at once.
The child, who was already about to slide into the flood, fell a large section again, and half of his body had fallen into the turbulent flood, and he was about to be caught in the flood.
Tian Xiaolu jumped into the flood almost without thinking about anything, and only a shout from Su Chenyu was heard beside him, and there was a sound of diving immediately after. Xiaolu was a good swimmer at school, but it was in the swimming pool, and here it was a big flood with turbulent waves.
In the flood, Tian Xiaolu soon felt that she had lost control of herself, but fortunately, she grabbed a plank in the floating debris, swam to the telephone pole, and finally barely pushed it to the little girl's hand.
When she saw the little girl who had almost fallen into the water clinging to the plank, a crest of the wave fell over her head.
In the last moment of despair, a big hand seemed to break through the wave peak and accurately grabbed her arm, and pulled her hard to hold her under a "flesh and blood barrier".
At the last moment when the wave peak was covered, Su Chenyu finally swam to Tian Xiaolu's side, quickly grabbed her with one hand, and accurately grabbed the telephone pole next to her with the other.
Just when Su Chenyu thought that he could be safe, he suddenly found that the little girl who was holding the plank just now suddenly knocked over the little girl who was holding the plank in the water.
The little girl clung to the life-saving plank, her body already covered by the floodwater, and she was choking on the water, breathing what could be her last breath of air.
"Save her. β
Listening to Tian Xiaolu's shout, Su Chenyu pulled over a piece of wood that floated over, and then Tian Xiaolu grabbed it tightly, and then jumped into the water with all his strength and swam towards the little girl.
In Tian Xiaolu's exclamation, Su Chenyu and the two fierce men came to the little girl's side, grabbed her by the neck and pulled her to her side, and then grabbed the wood that was floating over to support Tian Xiaolu.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?" Tian Xiaolu looked at Su Chenyu, who was panting for breath while grabbing the wood, and said anxiously: "Hurry up and drag her to the wood." β
Looking at Tian Xiaolu, who was pale in the water, Su Chenyu, whose face was full of water droplets, nodded, and then dragged the little girl to the big wood with difficulty.
The little girl who was lying on the big wood and coughing violently opened her eyes that had just been fascinated by the water with difficulty, looked at Su Chenyu and Tian Xiaolu, who were clutching the wood, and whimpered and said, "Mom...... Mom, I'm going to ...... Mommy ......"
"Alright, alright, my sister will definitely take you to find your mother. Tian Xiaolu looked at the little girl whimpering and crying in distress, and hurriedly comforted her and said, "You're okay now." Don't worry, brother and sister, they will definitely take you to a safe place and will definitely help you find your parents. β
Su Chenyu, who had been paying close attention to the surrounding situation, also turned around to comfort the little girl and said, "Don't worry, it's okay now, it's going to be fine, my brother and sister will definitely take you to find your mother, don't worry." β
But is it really okay? Perhaps, only God knows......
