Heroes have nothing to find in the water,

Ask you how many times you can worry.

Disaster strikes without fear,

The encounter will inevitably be full of romance.

A few people came to the northwest, and it was already dawn. The middle-aged people in the village walked in front, this Fan Ermao and the old man followed behind, walking in the water, the water was waist-deep, the water was turbulent, and the walking was very difficult, as if swimming, fortunately, the three middle-aged people were familiar with the road and had strength, pushing the raft forward, Ermao and the old man followed and walked, and they could also borrow some strength. This Ermao thought to himself, he has never seen such a big water since he was born. In my hometown, the river is so big, and I haven't seen such a hurry. I wonder what the widow's aunt's house is like. Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone call: "Pay attention to the raft, the road ahead is narrow and fast, be careful." ”

One sentence frightened this Fan Ermao's heart back into this endless flood, how dare this Fan Ermao think nonsense anymore, stepped forward and grabbed the raft with one hand and the old man with the other. The eldest lady sitting on the raft also looked very nervous at this time, and turned her head to look at the uncle, so she heard the uncle's voice say: "Sit down, don't move." When the eldest lady saw the roar, she grabbed the table leg with both hands and didn't look back. Fortunately, a few middle-aged people are familiar with the road, and know where the water is deep and where the water is shallow, and can borrow the roadside tree to strengthen, a few people soon came to the village two big pits between the road, there was originally a small bridge here, now where there is a bridge and a road, the endless Zeguo, can identify the road only in the flooded trees and houses. Since there is a small bridge between the pits and an undercurrent under the small bridge, it is very dangerous to pass here, and when the raft reaches the near of the small bridge, several strong men also stop. One of them swam over first to explore the road and the current, and when he came back, he said, "You can pass, but there are many people on the north side of the raft, so concentrate your forces on the north side of the raft, so that the water does not rush in the wrong direction." The man said and pointed at Fan Ermao and said, "You hurry up and go to the north of the raft." Seeing this, Fan Ermao said, and quickly helped the old man to stand on the north side of the raft, and when everyone was ready, they heard the man shout: "Go, start walking forward, see where I go, you will follow it, don't go astray." "Fortunately, there is a big flood in the plain area, although the water flow is rapid, but there is not much impact, a few people are moving forward, and then a few middle-aged men coming from the front and back. The simplicity of this person's heart is best reflected in the face of catastrophe, whenever disaster comes, it is these ordinary people who rush to the forefront and are not afraid of sacrifice. The group worked together to ferry the raft safely through this most dangerous section, and these people stayed at the small bridge to wait for the others to cross this dangerous area. This Fan Ermao a few people crossed this road, and went forward, the terrain gradually increased, the water level gradually decreased, and the road started faster, and it was not long before they came out of the village, and they were getting closer to the temple platform, and the water level at this time was also on the calf, and several people walked faster. Soon came to the front of the temple platform, a few people leaned the raft to the shore, a few people came down from the temple platform to answer, and carried the eldest lady on their backs, and a few middle-aged people pulled the raft and wanted to go back to the village, this Fan Ermao also had to follow him, and he heard a person say: "You don't have to go, take care of the eldest mother here." When Fan Ermao saw this, he didn't fight anymore, but went to the temple to find the uncle and aunt.

Walking on the temple platform, this Fan Ermao looked around, and the entire temple platform was full of people. Strange to say, the flood came and the rain stopped. Everyone stood on the temple platform and talked nonsense, all of them with anxious expressions on their faces. Fortunately, it was the height of summer, and although people's clothes were soaked, they did not feel cold, but had a refreshing meaning. This Fan Ermao walked through the crowd to the old man, walked up to the old man and said, "Uncle, I don't know if there is any water in my aunt?" ”

"Your aunt's house is dozens of miles away from here, shouldn't it be there?"

"Well, there's no way back."

"Let's talk about it when the flood goes down."

"Okay, uncle, are we just going to wait here?"

"Maybe someone from the county will come to the rescue in a while."

"Hmm." This Ermao was anxious in his mouth, and he was worried about the widow and aunt, and he didn't dare to show his thoughts in his heart, so he saw that he was standing restlessly, fidgeting, and walking back and forth. At noon, some people became restless and concentrated on the side of the temple, and Fan Ermao also ran to that side with the people, and heard someone shouting: "Look there is a boat coming over there." ”

Ermao looked in the direction that people pointed, and there was really a small boat speeding towards this side, and there was a high splash behind the boat. "There's someone up there, and the rescuers are coming."

The crowd cheered. This Fan Ermao was also very excited when he saw the boat coming, thinking that he could finally leave here. When it came closer, it was a small boat, and the small boat stopped in front of the temple, and two people who looked like leaders walked down from above, and the crowd crowded with the leaders to the high place. The leader issued a large set of words of condolences to everyone, and then told everyone to transfer to the county seat, where food and accommodation have been prepared for everyone. After the leader spoke, he went down to the temple, gave some words to the village cadres, and left with a few old and young people. After a while, another dinghy came, and dry rations were delivered. The village cadres organized people to distribute it to everyone. Fan Ermao also received a copy, and Fan Ermao took it to the two old men, handed it to the old man, and said, "Uncle, you and your aunt have eaten these too." ”

"Ermao, you can eat by yourself, maybe you have to walk into the city."

"Hmm." Ermao said that he sat aside and ate dry food. The dinghy unloaded the dry food, and took some old people and children away, and the dinghy went back and forth, and the uncle and aunt also left with the dinghy. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the village cadres saw that the rest of the people in the temple were young and middle-aged, and began to arrange for a few people to stay in the temple, and then organize everyone to swim to the county seat.

This Fan Ermao also asked to go to the county seat, and Ermao thought: Go to the county seat just to take a detour back to the widow's aunt's house. This Fan Ermao thought about it, came with everyone wading through the water, where is this trip, not a few steps away, the water has reached waist deep, people swam to the village, passing by the door of the uncle's house, this Fan Ermao opened the door of the partial room, entered the house, swam the water to the bed, the bed has floated in the water, fortunately, it did not overflow the desktop, Ermao's book is still on the table, this Ermao cleaned up, reached out to remove the burden from the wall, put the book in the bag, the gong and drum guy who ate did not bring it, hung it on the wall together, saw that there was nothing to take, turned around and went out of the house, locked the door, Chased the crowd forward.

This Fan Ermao caught up with the crowd and thought, I don't know when I will come back. Not long before the crowd stopped in front, Ermao looked around, there was a gate in front, the water here is deep and the water is strong and the waves are rushing and there is an undercurrent below, a few young men in the village are swimming to explore the way, this Ermao looked anxious, so he came through the crowd to the front, at this time someone has been beaten back by the rapid waves, it seems that this place can not pass for a while, the crowd is surging, this person is standing in the water and is not good to stand firm by the impact of the current, people began to stand hand in hand in the water waiting for the village cadres to find a way.

At this time, I heard the village cadres say: "Go back to the village to find the rope, only use the rope to ferry to the gate, and everyone can pass by holding the rope." At this time, some people had gone back the way they had come to look for a great rope, and after a while the man who had returned came with a large rope on his shoulder.

I heard the village cadres shouting: "Quickly find a good water to swim over and tie it to the gate, and everyone will follow the rope." At this time, I heard someone say: "Just now, the two good ones didn't swim over, and they were beaten back by the waves, I'm afraid there is no one in our village who is good at water." "So what to do?" Someone said. People start to look at you, I look at you, and there is nothing they can do. "Give me the rope." Ermao shouted. "Are you okay?" The village cadres looked at Ermao with puzzled eyes. "I grew up by the river, and the water is okay, so I'll try it." "Okay, come over and tie the rope around his waist, everyone cooperate and help him swim over." The village cadres shouted to the rope bearer. So everyone came over and tied a rope to Ermao's body.

It's really:

A piece of Ze country water in the sky,

Deep waters, ravines, and dark springs.

It's hard to be a hero who doesn't know the water,

Ermao bravely passed this hurdle.
