This summer vacation H city is relatively muggy, but most of the time it is cooler. After the college entrance examination, the rain has not been less, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the typhoon passed, and the rain brought by it slightly reduced the heat of H City, which looks no different from previous years.

But in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River basin, there is a lot of precipitation this year. When the weather clears, the water level of the mountain stream rises a lot, which is just right for rafting. In the face of such a good business opportunity, how could the bosses not seize the opportunity, and the rafting business suddenly blossomed everywhere.

In H City, Cheng Chu was originally following the elders in the company to inspect the industry, but he received a call from a friend telling him that he had arrived in H City.

"It's a coincidence that you're here, just in time for a typhoon to pass through, and it's very cool outside."

In the noodle shop, two handsome teenagers make many people reluctant to move their nests.

Gu Jingzhou smiled, "I have been busy for so long after being pulled over by the old man, and I finally have a few days, so I came over to relax." ”

Why did the old friend come to H City to relax, Cheng Chu knew it, and he didn't break it.

Although the TV station in H City is not as popular as Mango Channel, the local ratings in H City are still quite high.

On this day, the employees of the TV station went to work as usual, and everyone was busy doing their own things.

Suddenly, a hurried phone ringing broke the busyness.

"Looks like it's news again!"

The operator smiled and picked up the phone, "Hey! Hello, this is ......"

Before he finished speaking, the person over there had already interrupted him in a hurry, "Quick! Big news! A catastrophic flash flood broke out in Xiangshan City, S Province, and the water level along the An River has soared, and all the towns along the river have been flooded, with countless casualties. ”

The H City TV station was not the first to get the news, but it was the first TV station to stop all programs when it heard the news.

In the noodle shop, Gu Jingzhou was asking Cheng Chu: "Why don't you see Yuelin?"

She and Chen Hua went to play. Rest assured, every place she goes, she has the hotel where she will stay, and the license plate she will sit on us. After calculating the time, it should be time to Xiangshan City. A few days ago they said they were going to go rafting and should be back in a week. ”

After Cheng Chu finished speaking, he heard a solemn boy coming from the TV hanging on the wall of the store: "Urgent news!" A huge flash flood broke out in Xiangshan City, S Province, and the flood water washed down from the upper reaches of the An River, and all the areas along the river were flooded. Citizens who have relatives in Xiangshan City at home should also contact them as soon as possible, and if you are currently planning to go to Xiangshan City, please postpone the date. At present, the government rescue team has rushed to Xiangshan City for emergency rescue ......"

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to call Xu Yuelin, but saw that Gu Jingzhou on the other side had already called.

"Shut down." Gu Jingzhou's face changed, and while dialing another number, he said symmetrically: "Now let's see if you can get a ticket to Xiangshan City." ”

Cheng Chu hurriedly called to ask, but was told that Xiangshan City had fallen into heavy rain again, and all flights to Xiangshan had been canceled.

"All the flights were cancelled."

Gu Jingzhou nodded, and the phone in his hand was connected, "Uncle Zhao, what's the situation over there in Xiangshan?" ”

"Very bad! It is estimated that the entire Xiangshan City will not be able to protect it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Gu Jingzhou's heart suddenly cooled, "Uncle Zhao is a person from national security, and he said that Xiangshan City may not be able to be saved." ”

Cheng Chu was shocked, "So strict? ”

The Ministry of State Security naturally knows what it is, and when all the outside media are still chasing after the wind, the Ministry of State Security may have grasped the whole actual situation. But now even the people in the Ministry of National Security say so......

"Such a big accident will definitely mobilize the army to Xiangshan. You get ready, I'll take you with me. After Gu Jingzhou finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the noodle shop quickly.

The streets outside are still very lively, and the people who come and go live a happy and stable life. At this time, in another place, someone's body was freezing cold in the water.

――――

"Don't let go, don't let go." Xu Yuelin held the tree in one hand and pulled Chen Hua tightly with the other. Their skin was pale and swollen from being soaked in water for too long.

As far as the eye can see, the ravines between the green hills have been filled by floodwater, and there are only occasional trees that emerge from the water.

"Yuelin!" Although there is no down-to-earth security under her feet, she is likely to die next, but with this person around her who has been holding on to herself, she feels very relieved, "Don't worry, I will hold you tightly." ”

She was not afraid of death, but she knew that if she was washed away by the water like those people just now, Yue Lin would definitely be very afraid.

There is much more fear of being alone than two people.

"Yuelin, look! There's something there! Chen Hua suddenly shouted, "Hold on to that thing, and we may be saved." ”

Xu Yuelin followed Chen Hua's line of sight and saw that not far from them, there was indeed a wooden barrel floating towards them. The wooden barrel is estimated to be used by the farmer to load grain, it is more than one meter high, and it seems that the diameter is enough, if the two of them hold this wooden barrel at that time, it will indeed have a higher survival rate than if they have been staying here.

“OK！ Draw, you're ready, and when the barrel comes, I'll pull you and figure out how to hook it. ”

"Good! Then you hold my waist first, and I'll take off my clothes! Chen said.

"Huh?" Xu Yuelin was stunned, it's summer, everyone's clothes are cool, take it off, wouldn't it be a rush......

"It's wet like this, and there's no difference between wearing it and not wearing it." Chen Hua said as he took off his shirt, "It's just when I'm wearing a swimsuit!" This garment has metal buckles, which are heavier, and it is easier to hook on that thing. ”

"Then you hold my waist, and I'll take it off too! To fruit together. ”

In the end, the clothes of the two people were tied in a knot in the middle, equivalent to more than a meter of rope, which was washed by the water and dragged behind the two people.

"The barrel is coming, hurry!"

Xu Yuelin grabbed the tree with one hand and Chen Hua's ankle with the other, and the two of them stretched to the side as much as possible.

When the wooden barrel flowed down the water, Chen Hua shook the clothes in his hand vigorously.

"Wow!" The metal buckle at the top of the garment was thrown into the barrel, and with a hook, the barrel slowly floated towards them.

"It's here!" Both of them were a little excited, pulling slowly, and when the barrel appeared in front of them, they found that there were two children lying inside......

The children are not old, the older ones are four or five years old, and the younger ones are even younger. Both of them were already asleep, and their faces were still stained with tears.

"Oh my God, there's someone!"

"Come, hold the barrel against the twig." In this way, two people will save a little effort. After getting these things done, Xu Yuelin reached out and touched the bodies of the two children, warm, and couldn't help but be happy: "They are still alive!" ”

The two of them are here, and they often see people washed away by the water, some are still struggling, but some are already corpses. Sometimes they would watch the soaked and white corpses float in front of them, and their eyes were very scary.

"Yuelin, look, there's still food in it." Chen Hua was overjoyed.

Xu Yuelin took a look and saw a lot of steamed buns that had been cut into slices under the child's body. She knows that the custom in some places of the Dragon Boat Festival is to wrap zongzi to make steamed buns, and zongzi are generally eliminated quickly, but steamed buns are made more, and then cut into pieces, dried, and become snacks for children in the family for the next half a year.

It is impossible for the two children to be so clever as to find the barrel and put food in it. Then it can only be the parents of small children. Now the children are alive and well in front of their eyes, and their parents don't know where they are.

"Let's eat some!" Xu Yuelin said, "But since you eat other people's things, it is equivalent to receiving the favor of others, but you must protect these two children." ”

The two had been soaking in the water for a day, and they were already hungry. And such a big flood, I don't know when it will subside, and those two children can survive a little longer with a little more food. They are now sharing other people's food, which can be regarded as accepting their life-saving grace.

"Hmm."

Just on the river, the two of them ate three pieces of dried steamed buns, and the rest were wrapped in plastic bags inside and put aside.

Maybe it's because of a little preparation, the mood of the two of them is a little better. Chen Hua even jokingly poked Xu Yuelin's mimi, "Say, are you secretly eating papaya behind my back." ”

"This girl is naturally beautiful." After that, he deliberately glanced at someone's chest, "Hello little steamed bun." ”

“……”

After a pause, Xu Yuelin said: "Draw, wait until there is a rope or something floating down on it, remember to pick it up." We tied the barrel to this tree so that we didn't have to worry about being floated away when we slept at night. ”

But until the evening, there was no rope floating downstream, but waiting for a torrential rain.

"Draw, wake up!" In order to keep their spirits up, both of them take turns resting, one resting and the other taking care of the barrel and the child.

"What's wrong?" Faced with such an environment, Chen Hua quickly woke up. As a result, as soon as I woke up, I couldn't open my eyes because of the overwhelming rain. "Yuelin, is it raining?"

"Yes!" Xu Yuelin's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of despair. If it rains heavily, the water level is going to rise. Now they were holding on to the branches of the trees below to keep themselves from being swept away by the flood, but if the water level rose again and the trees were submerged, they could not rely on the trees, so they could only let the flood wash away.

The two children inside the barrel were still crying, but the water had begun to accumulate inside. In just a few moments, a small half bucket of water was filled.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Xu Yuelin comforted the child while giving the steamed bun slices in it, "Take this, don't put it in the water to play, okay?" Then he said to the big one, "Let's splash the water with our hands!" ”

At this time, there is no rain protection, and I don't feel at ease when I put the two children in the water, and I may be washed away if I am not careful. After thinking about it, I had to keep getting the falling water out to reduce the weight of the barrel.

The rain had been falling, and the two men had already covered their clothes to reduce the rain. But even so, you still have to fill the water manually.

"Paint, the water level is rising again." In the dark, Xu Yuelin said suddenly.

"I feel it." They used to hold a tree in one hand and stick their heads out of the water, but now their heads are often submerged in the water.

"Draw, the trees below may be overwhelmed." Xu Yuelin's voice was still calm.

Inexplicably, Chen Hua felt a panic for no reason, "What do you want to do!" Then, she felt Xu Yuelin's hand reach out to her waist.

Xu Yuelin hugged her, looked at her with her eyes and said, "My dear, the resistance of the two of us plus the wooden barrel is relatively large, if there is another wave of washing, the tree is likely to break, and then we can only be floated away." ”

"But you don't weigh much alone!" Chen Hua shook his head, but the tears could no longer stop falling.

All along, because of you, I feel at ease! As long as I know that you are by my side, I can muster up the courage to face everything, even if it is death.

"Listen to me. The barrel contained the child, and if two more people were dragged, it would sink immediately. If you drag one person, it's quite reluctant. Wait, if you're swept away, it's best if you can find a place to stop. Now that a day and a night have passed, it is estimated that the national rescue team is now rescuing people. Remember, if you see a helicopter flying overhead, you have to shout loudly. ”

"What about you, why are you going!" Chen Hua grabbed the barrel with one hand and pulled her hand with the other, "No, I can't let you go." ”

"Be sensible, I'm not going to die. Believe me! Xu Yuelin reached out and touched her head, "I won't die." "But you don't have to. In the original text, you are a person who has never appeared, and your fate is not predestined. It is likely that they will live well, or they may die young. I'm betting that there may be a chance of survival, but you may die.

Breaking her hand one finger at a time, Xu Yuelin kissed her cheek, "We'll meet again." ”

As soon as the hand is released, the body quickly drifts backwards with the current. Chen Hua saw that she let go, and screamed to catch her, but at some point, a rope was tied around his waist, and he couldn't swim forward, so he could only watch Xu Yuelin drift farther and farther.

"Yuelin—" Chen Hua shouted, tears welling up in his eyes.

It's a desperate feeling to see your friend die and not be able to do anything about it.

You say you can say goodbye, but when? Are you waving and smiling at me intact, or am I looking at your corpse and weeping?

Xu Yuelin stretched her hand out of the water and waved ahead. The cries of the people in front of them also became farther and farther away, and finally a wave of water came, and the sky swirled, and nothing disappeared. R1152
