The surviving villagers were frightened by the earthquake and mudslides, coupled with the grief of losing their loved ones, and finally found a place to take shelter from the wind and rain, and did not want to leave.

Zhu Wu was a little embarrassed, he knew that Nan Zhiqiao received the news on the road, and more powerful aftershocks could occur at any time, but the attitude of his mother and the villagers was ......

Zhu Wu looked at Nan Zhiqiao and Captain Jiang with a pleading look.

Nan Zhiqiao shook his head and refused: "No, everyone has to leave here immediately." ”

Zhu Wu asked tentatively: "This cave has been in this cave for many years, and the last earthquake was not affected, so it should be able to survive the aftershocks, right?"

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, this Zhu Wu is also in a hurry, the first thing to avoid the earthquake is to choose an open place, hiding in a cave is the most dangerous, and you can't dig it out if you die.

"No, the aftershocks will be even bigger, so let's leave now. Nan Zhiqiao and Captain Jiang demanded at the same time.

The old woman looked out of the cave, the sky was dark, the light rain kept falling, the little baby next to her was crying intermittently, and the old woman looked at the rescue team, professional clothing and equipment, it seemed that there was also a way out.

The old woman asked, "Where can we go so late?"

The old, weak, sick and disabled in the cave all looked at Nan Zhiqiao and Captain Jiang who were standing at the front.

With his rescue experience, Captain Jiang came up with a countermeasure, "First transfer out of the cave, when I came, I found that there was an open space on the hill in front of me, so I could set up a temporary tent there first and wait for further transfer." ”

"Outside in the rain to set up a tent, our injured and nursing children here...... the old woman was obviously not satisfied with Captain Jiang's proposal.

Captain Jiang explained, "The temporary tent is only temporary, and we will move overnight. ”

"Everybody can't walk, and besides, where can we go?" the old woman was still worried.

Captain Jiang thought for a moment, looked at Nan Zhiqiao, and said, "Mr. Xiao Nan, our Jiangchuan rescue team only has one helicopter, and we are now carrying out the task of transporting the wounded in Xiuli County, can you transfer two helicopters from the rescue team of the Nanmu Group? In this way, everyone can be quickly transferred." ”

Nan Zhiqiao hesitated.

Captain Jiang also said: "The surrounding villages and towns are estimated to be in the same situation, and the current situation in Xiuli County is not good, the villagers had better be transferred to the city, the medical conditions in the urban area are good, and the helicopter from here to the city is the fastest choice, and the rescue team of the Nanmu Group is directly under the jurisdiction of Nan Jianguo, chairman of the board, and it can be solved with just a phone call." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Nan Zhiqiao, in the face of aftershocks that could erupt at any time, in the face of so many fresh lives, Nan Zhiqiao no longer hesitated, picked up the maritime satellite mobile phone beside him, and walked out of the cave.

Two minutes later, Nan Zhiqiao returned to the cave and said, "Everyone will move to an open area with Captain Jiang first, and the helicopter will arrive in two hours." ”

Everything was well arranged, and the surviving villagers were looking forward to getting to a safe place as soon as possible, and this safe place was still an urban area arranged by a professional rescue team, and the villagers all cooperated and followed the rescue team to the top of the mountain to set off in the open field.

The old woman pulled Zhu Wu, "Wu'er, you go with the rescue team first, I'll wait here for your father and your brother." ”

"Mom, you and your sister-in-law will go first, and I'll wait here. ”

Zhu Wu's mother and son began to argue over who would stay.

Ye Zhenzhen took out the pen and paper she had with her, "Let's leave a note in the cave, and then leave a mark along the road, so that they can find it." ”

The old woman was still not at ease, and kept chattering, "The road is slippery when it is dark, and if they can't see the note, or can't see the mark left behind, they finally escaped death, and the family can't be separated again." ”

Nan Zhiqiao glanced at Captain Jiang, "Captain Jiang, you let the rescue team take the villagers away first, and I will stay in these people, two hours later, you release a signal flare every five minutes, and the helicopter will find your exact location." ”

Captain Jiang seemed to be more worried about Nan Zhiqiao's safety, but knowing Nan Zhiqiao's temper, it was difficult to change what he decided, so he said, "Then I will leave two people to wait with you, so I can take care of it." ”

"No, I'll just wait alone, besides, in addition to the villagers, there are four rescue team members in the village to check whether there are any surviving villagers, and they will come here after the inspection, so I will stay here to meet them. ”

"Senior Nan, I want to stay here too. Ye Zhenzhen just wants to stay with Nan Zhiqiao in her heart, if she encounters any danger, the two can take care of each other together, only in this way can Zhen Zhen feel at ease.

"No, you have to leave with Captain Jiang and them first. Nan Zhiqiao actually refused.

"Why?"

"There are injured among the villagers, you have to follow the rescue team to take care of them, and the two of us have to act separately. ”

Ye Zhenzhen's face was full of unwillingness, and just about to refute, Nan Zhiqiao said sharply: "Obey the order!"

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt aggrieved, and the tiredness of many days of running and working did not make Zhen Zhen feel this way, Nan Zhiqiao's sudden stern tone made Ye Zhenzhen's eyes rise with tears.

Nan Zhiqiao's heart moved, he couldn't see Zhen Zhen crying with tears in her eyes, and his tone softened down, "Zhen Zhen, obedient, the two of us who are studying medicine have to act separately, you take care of the villagers, I may have survivors of the wounded here to send them up, and both sides need us." ”

Reason triumphed over emotion, Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Well, Captain Jiang and I will take the villagers to the open area at the top of the mountain first, Senior Nan, you have to promise that before the helicopter comes, you must go to the top of the mountain to meet us." ”

"Okay, I promise. ”

With Nan Zhiqiao's assurance, Ye Zhenzhen, Captain Jiang, and the boys of the rescue team took care of the villagers and set off to the top of the mountain.

The villagers who could walk walked on their own, and those who were injured and could not walk were carried by the boys of the rescue team, and the muddy mountain road was carried by everyone for more than half an hour, and finally reached the top of the mountain before it was completely dark.

Simple tents were set up to temporarily shelter the villagers from the wind and rain, and on continuous rainy days, the grass and trees around the top of the mountain were dripping with water, and it was no longer feasible to make fires in the wild at night to call for help.

Captain Jiang gathered the flashlights used for lighting together to form a triangular light zone, which was barely a distress signal.

Next is a anxious wait, waiting for the helicopter, and even more waiting for Nan Zhiqiao's figure.

For two hours, everyone looked tormented, especially Ye Zhenzhen, who looked down the mountain every once in a while.

Two hours later, Nan Zhiqiao still did not appear, and Captain Jiang released a signal flare according to the original plan, and the signal flare rose into the sky and exploded red fireworks in the air.

Ye Zhenzhen was so anxious that she was about to go down the mountain to find Nan Zhiqiao with a flashlight.

Captain Jiang pulled Ye Zhenzhen and pointed halfway up the mountain, "Look, there are lights, they are coming up." ”

Looking halfway up the mountain, there was a bright light, and clusters of flashlight light gathered on the mountain road, moving quickly towards the top of the mountain.

A light rain continued to fall in the sky, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder that resounded through the valley, and the mountains beneath their feet seemed to shake.

Everyone looked up, and with the sound of lightning and thunder, three helicopters flew slowly from the sky in the distance.
