Chapter 547: Signs of Disaster 3
The three of them didn't even bring a few bags of myrtle, so they were led by Lu Jinxue, who had the best memory, and returned to the waterfall by the same way. The sudden change in the weather made the students of the first and second classes of high school who stayed at the waterfall a little surprised, and at this moment, they were moving to the side of the waterfall under the leadership of Zhao Daquan.
There is a wide cave under the protruding cliff on the side of the waterfall, which is only more than ten meters deep, but it is more than thirty meters wide, enough for dozens of people to rebuild stoves and tents. It was a bit cramped, but it gave a sense of security, and now the sky was almost completely dark, and the whirring wind hovered through the trees. It also means that a storm is coming.
Lu Jinxue and the others finally found them, and gasped: "Everyone listen, Teacher Yang wants us to prepare to evacuate this island immediately." There may be more than just a storm, but also natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and typhoons. ”
Everyone present grew up in the city, and they had never seen the power of nature on TV or in movies, and now this sudden change in the weather is indeed very similar to the scene of impending disaster in the movie.
Jin Ruoxi is much more mature than her peers, but she is not as flustered as others, and she frowned when she heard this: "What about Teacher Yang?" Why didn't he come back with you? ”
Lu Jinxue took a breath and said, "Teacher Yang said that there are still residents who have lived on this island for many years, and he will not let them stay and fend for themselves. That's right! Teacher Yang asked you to call and ask the boat to come and pick us up! Let's go to the beach now! In addition, don't bring unnecessary things, so as not to affect our travel speed. ”
Among the people present, in addition to Jin Ruoxi, Zhao Ningyu, Qiao Qiao, and Chu Lixue were all very worried about Yang Yi, but they were also adults, and they knew that they must not be emotional at this time. In this situation, it is best to prepare for the worst, and it is their greatest responsibility to lead these children to the beach at this moment.
Ergou, who was standing next to him, seemed to see Sanshu's thoughts in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You take the students to the beach, and I'll go to find Brother Yang!" Without looking back, he went around the mountain wall and rushed into the woods.
"No phone signal?" Qian Yuanyuan took out her mobile phone and tinkered for a while, and said with a bitter face: "Ruoxi, what should we do now?" ”
Jin Ruoxi didn't answer, took out the satellite phone prepared just in case from his bag, dialed the number and said, "Drive the boat over immediately, this island seems to be about to earthquake!" Pack some life jackets and lifeboats, and be sure to arrive in the shortest possible time! Arrange for a few more helicopters to come over as soon as possible! How many can be sent away first! ”
Although the Xia family has a lot of money, helicopters are all personal items, so there are not many of them, and if you use other planes, there is no place to park on the island, so helicopters are one of the few options.
Zhao Daquan looked at the gloomy sky and said anxiously: "It seems that the rainstorm is coming, when will the ship arrive?" Are we going to rush to the beach immediately? He meant that if the boat could not arrive in a short time, it would be possible to wait here for a while and calculate the time before setting off, so as not to go to a place where there is no shelter from the rain on the beach.
Qi Yulong, who was still wrapped in bandages on his head, said angrily: "Does Captain Zhao think it's a playhouse?" The situation is so critical that none of us know what will happen later, and if it's really an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, will it be safe for us to stay here? The seaside was the best choice for us, and we were able to get on the boat as soon as the boat came. ”
"Ruoxi, when will the boat and helicopter arrive?" Zhao Ningyu was a little glad that some of the students in the class had cruise ships and helicopters, and the most important thing now was the time of arrival. At this moment, the sky was gloomy as if it was about to fall to the ground, and if something serious happened, no one could bear this responsibility.
Jin Ruoxi shook his head and said: "No one thought that such a situation would happen, the ship is now parked at the port where we departed, and the helicopter has just departed from Yinan, and it is estimated that it will take at least two hours to arrive." As he spoke, he looked up at the gloomy sky: "Let's hurry up!" If it's the best-case scenario, it's just a rain at most! ”
Chu Lixue sighed, and now she could only rush to the beach to wait for rescue. Just like Jin Ruoxi said, the situation may not be as bad as imagined.
…………
On the other side, Yang Yi returned to the previous small village with the route in his memory. I don't know if the old generator is broken, and only a few oil lamps are still on in the wooden houses in the village. And the villagers who have lived here for many years also seem to feel the anger from nature, and they all obediently stay in the house. The whole village was like a ghost domain, and there was no anger at all.
Rushing to the nearest wooden house, Yang Yi reached out and knocked on the door and said loudly: "Uncle, open the door!" "He could have entered by force, but he was afraid of scaring the old man in the house. After knocking on the door and not getting the first response, I could only wait anxiously outside the house.
"Squeak!" After a while, the wooden door made an unpleasant sound, and finally it opened. The old man from before was still wearing shabby clothes, and looked at Yang Yi with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you go into the mountains?" Why did it suddenly come back again? ”
Yang Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, haven't you seen the weather?" If I'm not mistaken, a catastrophe is coming. For the sake of safety, you can gather the people of the village and come with us when you get off the boat! There is a good chance that this island will cease to exist! ”
The old man looked at the sky in amazement, it was only about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was almost dark, which is absolutely abnormal in summer. However, the old man did not panic, shook his head and said, "Young man, you are too nervous. It's dark clouds and the air is humid, but it's just a heavy rain coming. I've lived on this island for so long, and I see things like this every once in a while! ”
Although he knew that Yang Yi was kind, he didn't care at all. Although the wooden house is simple, it can still withstand the ordinary wind and rain, and there will be absolutely no accidents.
"I know you must think it's a sign of a rainstorm coming, but there's another one more thing you can explain?" Yang nodded and said with a wry smile: "Just half an hour ago, the pheasants and hares and other small animals that should have been in the mountains and forests were nowhere to be found, and when I came, I also saw some wild mice running in groups to the other side of the mountain, it seems that they also sensed the danger and wanted to be prepared to save their lives first, right?" ”
The old man was in the old society, he didn't have any knowledge of modern science at all, and he didn't know that animals' keen sense of danger far exceeded that of humans, so he shook his head and said, "Even if what you say is true, we won't leave with you!" Those of us who have lived on this island for so many years have a deep affection for every plant and tree on the island, and we can't let go of it at all. Even if we go to the city with you, what can we do then? We don't know anything, we don't understand anything, and it's a big question whether we can even fill our stomachs! ”
And what he said was true. When a person has been accustomed to the life of relying on the mountains and water in the mountains and forests for decades, and suddenly goes to a completely unfamiliar city, the feeling of strangeness and fear is completely uncontrollable. They don't know anything, and it doesn't mean anything to them to go to the city. Rather than staying in the city, it is more comfortable to live on this island.
"What do you want me to say?" Yang flicked the cigarette ash and said: "Actually, in addition to being a teacher, I am also the leader of the Children's Foundation for the Elderly, and our foundation has set up a number of welfare homes dedicated to taking care of the elderly and children, and when you go to the city, you can live in the welfare homes." I'll ask them to get you a piece of land next to it, and then you can plant whatever you want, and build you a fish pond, so that you can also reminisce about fishing, although it is not as enjoyable as sea fishing, but it is already good in the city. What do you think? ”
"Young man, you mean to take care of us old bones who are going to die?" The old man was finally moved, and said in disbelief: "We are all half-buried people, are you not afraid of trouble?" And besides, what good is it for you to take care of us? ”
Yang Yi threw away the cigarette butt and said: "It is the responsibility and obligation of our young people to take care of the elderly, so that you can enjoy your old age in peace." As for the benefits, to tell you the truth, I tricked you into going to the city, and you won't get the slightest benefit, right? Besides, your children are also in the city, and when you get used to life in the city, you can share the joy of family with your children! ”
The old man stared at Yang Yi for a long time, as if he wanted to distinguish whether what Yang Yi said was true or false, and finally nodded after a while: "Okay!" Then I'll get you along now, but if they don't want to, I can't help it! ”
After grinding his mouth for a long time, he finally said that he moved the other party, Yang Yi also breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and smiled: "Don't worry!" As long as you pass on my words to them, I am sure they will agree! ”
Seeing the old man go to another wooden house, Yang Yi took out the phone and was about to let Erlong make arrangements in advance, but who knew that the phone had no signal at all. At this time, there was a shouting sound in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, he saw the second dog snatching towards him with the hound.
He briefly explained his meaning to Ergou, and finally said with a wry smile: "I also had to do it as a last resort." If there is no problem at that time, I will let Ruoxi girl develop this island, and I believe that they will be able to live a slightly more comfortable life in a short time. But now the situation is unknown, and I can only do the worst plan for taking them off the island! ”
"Brother Yang." Ergou was silent for a while before he said, "There are not many people in our village, but they are all old people with a strange personality and a stubborn temper. I'm afraid they'd rather sink to the bottom of the ocean with the island than go to the city. ”
"Why don't they?" Yang Yi said abruptly: "The ancients Yun saluted first and then the soldiers, I have already communicated with the old man just now, and then it depends on the meaning of other people." If they really want to, Lao Tzu will knock them out and take them away! ”
