When Fang Zi'an arrived at the yamen, he was already soaking wet. On the way, he had already seen the power and devastation of the hurricane, with many houses toppled, trees broken and streets flooded.

There was a newly formed inspection team stationed in the yamen, and Li Dalong and Lei Hu were also there. Fang Zi'an suddenly arrived at Yamen, and Li Dalong and Lei Hu were surprised.

"Why are you here at such a time, my lord?"

"Don't say more, immediately wake up the brothers, send someone to notify the brothers in the fire tower in the city, and organize the rescue and rescue. With such a great storm, the people are going to suffer. Fang Zi'an shouted loudly.

Only then did Li Dalong and Lei Hu understand the intention of Lord Fang's arrival, and without saying a word, the two immediately woke up the soldiers and gave an order.

"I command all brothers to give priority to rescuing the flooded people according to the situation in their respective jurisdictions, and to pay attention to whether there are any injuries caused by the fall of trees and the collapse of houses. People in low-lying areas should be evacuated. Ordered the tower commanders to vacate the army and keep the people. The cooks in each camp should ensure that the people have food and water to drink. Injured people should be transported to various medical centers for treatment in a timely manner. Tonight is a special moment, and no one can shirk their mission for any reason, and this is an important moment to test our brothers in the defense army. We can't shirk it."

Fang Zi'an gave the order briefly but firmly and quickly, and the soldiers were still a little flustered and confused at first, but after listening to Fang Zi'an's words, they immediately cheered up and agreed in unison.

"Let's go." Fang Zi'an gave an order, and more than 20 soldiers who gave the order immediately rushed into the storm.

Fang Zi'an said to Lei Hu and Li Dalong and the remaining dozens of soldiers, "Let's not be idle, leave a few people to clean up the lobby and wings, and prepare a place for the people to hide, and the rest of us have to act immediately, first go to Niuwei Lane, where the houses are the most broken, the alleys are the narrowest, and there are many fork rivers, I'm afraid it will be flooded." Remember to bring some ropes and other rescue items. Act now. ”

Everyone prepared ropes, wooden sticks, axes, saws and other tools, and soon followed Fang Zi'an out of the yamen compound. As soon as he came out of the yamen, a figure rushed over from the wind and rain, and saw Fang Zi'an shouting, "Childe, is it Childe?"

Fang Zi'an wiped the rain on his face and said in surprise, "Ling'er, why are you here?"

It was Shen Ling'er who came, and her body was also soaked, and her clothes were completely useless in such weather.

"Why didn't Childe call me, I still heard Lao Huang say that Childe went out, so I was busy here." Shen Ling'er shouted.

Fang Zi'an didn't think about calling Shen Ling'er before he came, he didn't want Shen Ling'er to come and suffer on such a night, but he didn't expect her to know about it and come with her. There was no time to say anything else at the moment, Fang Zi'an said loudly, "Follow me, don't run around." ”

The wind and rain were raging in the streets, and the heavy rain whipped down on the body like a whip, and the people who hit it were painful. And that's not the most terrible of all, the terrible super strong winds blew the trees on both sides of the street crookedly, and the branches broke and flew down. From time to time, there are shop signs, roof tiles on the roofs, and all kinds of unknown objects flying down the streets, rolling in the wind and rain, making a huge cracking sound and noise. People walk down the streets as if they are going to be blown flying.

Fang Zi'an has many rescue and disaster relief experiences, including those when typhoons arrived, and he knows that the situation there is the worst and there is the most need for help. So under his leadership, they

The first to arrive was Niuwei Street, located two streets outside the Yamen. It is the most low-lying area on the left, and it is the nearest gathering point of the people in the Yamen, and the houses are densely packed, and most of them are ordinary houses.

As Fang Zi'an expected, the situation here was already very bad. Soon after entering the alley, the water on the ground was thigh-deep. Niuwei Street is close to the intersection of the two forks of the West River, and the alley is very narrow, so the rising water level will affect it first. In addition, the drainage ditches here are old, and it is difficult for the water to flow out in a short period of time, so this situation is created. And we have seen many buildings collapse, and we don't know if there are any dead or injured.

"To save people, all the people of Ox Tail Street must be evacuated. Lei Hu, you are responsible for leading people to transfer all the people out. Li Dalong, you are responsible for escorting the people back to the Yamen. Come with a few brothers, and we'll search for the wounded or dead. Fang Zi'an quickly ordered.

The crowd shouted a promise, and the soldiers began to move in three ways.

The people's homes in Niuwei Lane have all been flooded, and the people are already panicked and don't know what to do. The old and weak women and children crawled on the stools and tables and wept, and the young could only stand waist-deep in the water and wait for the wind and rain to pass. Adults and children burst into tears. The rain brought by the hurricane was very cold, and it was nothing at first, but after a long time, many people were already shivering from the cold. The rain-soaked earthen houses are also crumbling. When it is really called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual.

And at this time, they heard the shouts of the wind and rain outside.

"Don't panic, everyone, we're here to save you. Don't be afraid, do as we say, and evacuate according to our words. We have arranged a place for you to stay, with hot soup and hot meals."

All the people felt that there were still people to save them at such a time. They soon saw the figure of the shadow, and one by one they waded into the water, and entered the houses, shouting loudly. Soon, the alley was filled with figures evacuating in the water. The children sat in the tubs, and the old and weak people were carried on their backs by the soldiers. The men and women supported each other and walked up the street outside the alley. In the wind and rain, someone in front of me reminded loudly and pointed the direction. Let them feel the hope of life.

The entire alley was completely emptied within half an hour, and when Fang Zi'an and more than 20 people including Lei Hu searched the alley for the last time to see if there were any missing people, the water in the alley had reached the upper part of the lower abdomen. After shouting for the overall search, he found that there seemed to be nothing missing, and Fang Zi'an immediately gave the order to evacuate. But Shen Ling'er suddenly pointed to the top of a house and shouted.

"There's another guy there."

When everyone looked closely, they saw a man standing on the roof of a hut. The man crawled there, motionless.

"Come down. Go out with us. Lei Hu yelled.

The figure was motionless, Fang Zi'an waved his hand, and the two soldiers tried to climb from the water to the roof, but they couldn't climb at all. Several attempts failed. Fang Zi'an grabbed Shen Ling'er's hand and said, "I'll push you up." ”

Shen Ling'er nodded, Fang Zi'an lifted her up with both hands on Shen Ling'er's waist, and threw her up with strength, Shen Ling'er reached out and hooked the eaves, turned over and climbed up.

Lei Hu and the others cheered, but saw Shen Ling'er quickly climb onto the roof, and hugged it after a while

The man slid down.

"Wounded, as if unconscious, it's a little girl." Shen Ling'er shouted.

"Drop it down and get out of nowhere." Fang Zi'an.

The unconscious little girl was carefully put down, Shen Ling'er took her hand and put her down, and the person below stretched out his hand and steadily sent the little girl to Lei Hu's back. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, there was a sudden click, and the hut collapsed suddenly. Shen Ling'er screamed, her body lost her balance, and fell down with the tiles, stones, and rafters. A strong hand grabbed Shen Ling'er's wrist and pulled her into a warm embrace. The mud and rocks splashed behind him, and in the midst of the rushing water, Shen Ling'er heard Fang Zi'an's whisper in his ear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Ling'er hugged Fang Zi'an's neck tightly, and her heart was extremely warm. It was the most reassuring moment in her eighteen years of life, and she knew that she would never have to live with nightmarish memories again, and that someone would protect her from harm.

After confirming that everyone had evacuated, Fang Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief. As the group waded waist-deep water up the slope to the main street, some of the houses on both sides of the alley had begun to rumble and collapse. The earth and stone walls have begun to crumble after being soaked. When everyone saw this, they were shocked and rejoiced. If it hadn't come in time, it would have caused a great tragedy.

The hurricane continued until the next afternoon, when it slowly weakened. In the past ten hours, Fang Zian and others have been rescuing people all over the street and clearing roads. Remove fallen trees, clear streets and alleys blocked by collapsed buildings, arrange for people to settle down, and take the injured to the hospital for treatment. Everyone is busy and exhausted.

The guards stationed everywhere also rushed into the wind and rain to rescue at the moment they received the order. According to the feedback, thousands of people were rescued in various camps in a timely manner, and hundreds of people were injured. There were even three surviving people who were dug up in a collapsed house. The imperial court only started the rescue operation at noon, and Fang Zi'an's defense army was eight or nine hours late.

When the streets were full of rescue soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, Fang Zi'an ordered his brothers to withdraw to the garrison and the yamen to rest. Because the most difficult moment has passed, the most urgent moment has also passed, and the rest of the things have been done by themselves, and the defense army has completed the task of timely rescue.

When Fang Zi'an returned to the yamen with everyone who was soaked, their skin was soaked and white, their clothes were torn, and some of them were still bleeding and wounded. The hundreds of people who had been placed here crowded under the hall of the yamen and the corridors of the public houses in front and behind them all stood up and looked at the group of people who had rescued them in time. All the previous disgust and hatred for the defense army, suspicion and precaution disappeared at this moment. The people knew that if it hadn't been for the rescue of the defense army last night, they didn't know what the outcome would have been.

"Thank you Lord Fang and all the military masters for saving your life, I will never forget it. We're kowtowing to you. ”

The people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the group of unhuman-looking soldiers standing in the courtyard and thanked them. It wasn't until that moment that the soldiers involved in the rescue finally suddenly realized a different feeling. It turns out that helping and rescuing others and solving problems for the people is really a happy thing. Looking at the sincere thanks of the people in front of them, they suddenly felt that all the hard work, hunger and cold were worth it.
