Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sacrificing His Life to Save Others

Marina is a city near the sea, so it is naturally a place frequented by typhoons. Almost every year, several typhoons come into close contact with the coast, and although most of them are blown by, several heavy rains still can't run away every year.

It is precisely because most of the previous typhoons swept the coast slightly, so the coastal people have long lost their sense of awe for the typhoon, and the Rao is meteorological station has continuously raised the typhoon warning level, and even every citizen has received an orange warning, everyone still does not pay much attention.

Li Xiaoning has never experienced a typhoon, but he knows that he must be full of reverence for nature, human beings are sometimes very small in front of nature, if you look down on nature, nature will make you suffer. Therefore, he was fully prepared from the afternoon of the first day, and he knew that in the face of such a big event, he must maintain a high degree of sobriety.

Before leaving work, he went from office to office, checked the closure of doors and windows, and if there was a slight crack, even a small crack that ants couldn't get into, he had to close it again.

Not long after returning to the dormitory, the blue sky gradually became obscured by dark clouds, which grew in thickness and breadth as time passed, and finally completely killed the last rays of sunlight. At this moment, the sea is already several feet high.

At night, strong winds and torrential rain counterattacked. Li Xiaoning nested in his hut, listening to the raging wind and rain outside the window, and unconsciously remembered home in his heart......

Li Xiaoning was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone, he opened his eyes and found that it was still stormy outside the window.

"Hey, Brother Tang, what's wrong?" Li Xiaoning felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

"I don't have time to tell you, hurry down, I'm downstairs." Tang Hui's tone on the phone was full of anxiety.

Li Xiaoning knew that something must have happened, so he didn't say much at the moment, hung up the phone, picked up the raincoat and rain boots that had been prepared, put them on in three times and two times, and trotted all the way downstairs.

On the way, Li Xiaoning's brain was working rapidly: "The breakwater in the coastal area is repaired every year, and after so many years of testing, it has also proved that it is indeed solid and will not have an accident." Although the wind outside is strong, it is also eight or nine levels, and it should not cause much damage. So what else? Could it be that a flash flood caused a mudslide? Thinking about it this way, it is indeed possible, because Marina is also a mountainous city, although the mountains are not high.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaoning guessed that the rocks in a place called Hongshan Slope were relatively soft, and under the ravages of the pouring rain, they could no longer hold on to the mountain and began to move down.

There is a main road below the hillside, with the slide of the mountain, more than a dozen cars were washed out more than ten meters away, although most of the people in the car escaped in time, but there is still a car because of the impact of the rock and the door is deformed, can not be opened, the people in the car are trapped in the car can not come out.

When Li Xiaoning arrived, Liu Qifeng, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Xue Guoping, mayor of the city, also arrived, and were discussing the rescue plan in the command car. More than a dozen police cars and two fire trucks have been parked at the scene, a cadre of police officers is on guard on the perimeter, and dozens of firefighters are fully equipped and waiting for orders.

Li Xiaoning had already put on his raincoat when he got out of the car, and he knew that in this kind of stormy weather, the umbrella was useless. Through the thick rain curtain, Li Xiaoning looked into the field, only to see three cars crowded together, the body was half buried in the mud, and several large stones were stacked on top of each other, swaying in the wind, and they were about to fall down at any time.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoning understood why the firefighters did not directly come to the rescue, because the scene was too thrilling, and those big stones could fall down at any time, and whoever went up might never go back.

Li Xiaoning walked up to the command car and heard a heated argument going on inside.

"Secretary Liu, the situation at the scene is too complicated and too dangerous. If you rush up, maybe you won't be rescued, and you will have to take a few of them. Fire squadron leader Zhu Feng said in a heavy tone.

"I don't care what method you use, people must be saved." This is Liu Qifeng's voice.

"Lao Liu, I think what Comrade Zhu Feng said is reasonable. The firefighters are also raised by their fathers and mothers, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain. It was Mayor Xue Guoping who said this.

"Then hurry up and come up with the best of both worlds." Liu Qifeng's tone was full of majesty and anxiety.

Li Xiaoning shook his head slightly, he knew that it would be difficult to reach an agreement in the command car for a while. However, he also understood that because the situation at the scene was indeed dangerous, no one dared to order the firefighters to go up to save people at this time.

As time passed, the crying voices of adults and children trapped in the car became more and more tearful, until they were filled with despair.

Listening to the child's crying cry for help, Li Xiaoning could no longer tolerate himself standing by and watching, he took off the raincoat on his body three times and twice, and rushed up silently in the mud.

"Who's that...... Come back soon...... Danger ......" Someone found Li Xiaoning and hurriedly issued a warning, trying to get him back. But Li Xiaoning turned a deaf ear and continued to walk towards the trapped vehicle. Although everyone was in a hurry, no one dared to step forward, so they had to let him walk into the danger area step by step.

"Secretary Liu, Mayor Xue, someone didn't listen to the order and rushed up." Seeing that Li Xiaoning could not be stopped, some people hurriedly reported to the leaders in the command vehicle.

"Which one? So unorganized and undisciplined? Xue Guoping said with a gloomy face, "Zhu Feng, is it your person?" ”

Zhu Feng also had an angry look on his face, and said in his heart: "Which stunned young man is so bold?" If you don't want to die, don't drag me into the water! He is also an old firefighter, and he can see at a glance that the big stones are completely supported by the car below to form a temporary fixed posture, but this posture is extremely unstable, as long as the car under the bottom moves, the top may collapse immediately. If the person who has been trapped in front of him dies, it is a natural disaster, and now if someone dies because he saves people, it is a man-made disaster, and man-made disasters must be held responsible.

"It's not Captain Zhu's person, it's Secretary Liu's temporary secretary Li Xiaoning." Xue Guoping's secretary Zhang Hui said nonchalantly beside him.

"Xiao Li?!" Liu Qifeng was in a hurry, this is a satisfactory secretary that he finally found, if he dies like this, isn't it equivalent to cutting off his arm? He didn't bother to take the raincoat handed by his subordinates, and rushed into the rain.

Li Xiaoning had already walked to the outermost car at this time, but he did not act immediately, but first rushed to the trapped person in the car and said, "Don't be afraid, don't worry." I'll get you out right away. Don't shout now, lest you shake the stones above and form a landslide. ”

After the cries of the people in the car gradually calmed down, Li Xiaoning carefully observed the direct connection of each stone, and then untied his belt and stuffed the belt buckle into the slight gap where the car door was slightly opened.

After the belt buckle jammed the car door, Li Xiaoning spared the belt in his hand a few times, then raised his right foot and kicked the body hard, leaning back, and pulling hard again and again.

The car door was squeezed very tightly, Li Xiaoning used all his strength, his muscles were tense, his face was red and his neck was thick, and it only made the gap in the door bigger little by little.

However, Li Xiaoning's approach also made the already unstable stone and soil above even more unstable, and every time he pulled it, some dirt and gravel would fall on it. The large stone above also swayed even more, and it looked like it was about to collapse at any moment. The people in the car also breathed tensibly and did not dare to make a sound, for fear that heavy breathing would cause a collapse.

Li Xiaoning didn't care about the situation on his head at all, his teeth were clenched, his snort was groaning, and finally the car door opened a hole of more than ten centimeters.

Inside the car was a family of three, a young woman with a boy of five or six years old, and an old lady, who did not know whether it was the child's grandmother or grandmother. Seeing that the gap in the car door was enough for the child to get out. The young woman and the old lady hurriedly picked up the child and handed it out.

"Hurry up and send someone up to answer it!" Liu Qifeng saw that Li Xiaoning had received the child, and hurriedly ordered Zhu Feng.

In fact, there was no need for Zhu Feng to order, and several firefighters who were infected by Li Xiaoning's fearless spirit had already rushed to respond. The crowd lined up and relayed the child hand in hand to move the child to safety.

"Mom, you go out first." "Mom is old, you go out first!" The two people in the car were still humble. Li Xiaoning looked up at the crumbling big stone, and said in a deep voice to the young woman: "Don't rub it any longer, you come out first." ”

But when the young woman went out, it was obviously not as easy as a child, Li Xiaoning took a lot of effort to drag it out, and the clothes on the young woman's body were also scraped into strips, revealing snow-white skin, mixed with blood and rain, which added a bit of poignancy.

But the people present had no time to do it, because after such a toss, several large stones on it had lost their balance and began to crunch.

"It's too late. Evacuate! A firefighter standing behind Li Xiaoning said hurriedly.

"No, there's another person in there!" Li Xiaoning said angrily.

"If you don't withdraw, it's too late. You're already a hero. The soldier said as he reached out to pull Li Xiaoning, intending to forcibly drag him away.

"You withdraw first, I'll save people before leaving." Li Xiaoning shook off the soldier's hand and said to the car, "Auntie, hurry up, it's about to collapse." ”

But the old man did not move forward, but shrank himself in his seat, shook his head, and said, "I'm old, don't put you on again to save me, child, thank you, go quickly!" ”

"Less nonsense! Give me your hand! Li Xiaoning was anxious, and put his hand into the car door to reach the old man.

"Let's go, child, I'm an old woman, it's not worth it!" The old man still shook his head and refused to step forward.

"You're my mother, okay?" Li Xiaoning's eyes reddened urgently, "If you don't come again, you really won't be able to leave." I'll leave you here, if you don't leave, I won't leave. ”

The old man trembled and moved over.

Li Xiaoning grabbed it and dragged it out, but fortunately, the old man was relatively thin, so he didn't have much effort to get out of the car. But the old man said that he regarded death as home, but his face was already pale with fright, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't move at all.

Li Xiaoning didn't talk nonsense, he directly picked up the old man, and ran out, just ran less than two steps, and when he didn't get out of the danger zone, there was a "boom", and the stones on it collapsed......
