Chapter 223: Emperor Tianhou Earth
For the first time in his life, he saw this kind of retreat of all peoples.
If you don't have it in person, you can't describe the tragedy in any way.
The news of the flood distribution quickly spread throughout the county from various channels and began to spread in all directions.
In the county seat, thousands of residents rushed into every store, every market, and every commercial street they could see, carrying vegetable baskets, rice bags, and oil pots, and swept away the food they could buy.
It took a great deal of effort for the military truck they were riding in to drive from the crowded road to the countryside where they were responsible for cooperating with the evacuation.
The military vehicle drove away from the county seat and headed for the surrounding towns, and in the car, solemn was shocked by the situation outside the car.
At this time, every road into the village was crowded with villagers, driving their cattle, pushing carts, or using tricycles and bicycles, or borrowing motor vehicles from relatives and friends, carrying things that each family thought would be worth some money to take with them.
All the means of transportation that could be used were used.
In the past, this kind of solemn situation could only be seen in the scenes of peasants fleeing and fleeing famine before the founding of the People's Republic of China broadcast in TV dramas.
There are people everywhere, tens of thousands......
The village is empty.
The people desperately transported all the possessions they could take into the county.
Prices across the county have skyrocketed.
It turned out that water spinach and cabbage, which were sold for a few cents a catty, rose to 2 yuan a catty, and in stark contrast to the vegetables, it was actually pork.
That's right.
Pig prices are plummeting!
A 300-pound pig can be bought for only 300 yuan.
However, the reason behind it is so poignant.
Pigs are cheap because farmers simply don't have time to slaughter them.
The safety of life and other property prevails at the moment over those pigs.
A breeding pig was bought for 50 catties, ate two or three hundred catties of grain, and raised for more than three months to grow into a pig of about 200 catties, and the price of selling it was only more than 200 yuan.
In addition to the cost, it is also necessary to paste it upside down.
But it really doesn't matter......
What can't be lost compared to life?
This kind of scene can be called a kind of baptism of solemnity.
As a young man who grew up in a coastal city, he had no understanding of all this, and he solemnly felt that he was a person of two worlds for the peasants on the Yangtze River in the hinterland.
The people here have lived on this land near the river for generations, and this river has not only fed them, but also brought disaster to them.
However, they survived the disasters one after another.
After fetching water, they will return here and rebuild their homes with their hardworking hands.
The tenacious nature of the Chinese nation has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and integrated into the blood, and disasters can destroy their homeland, but they cannot defeat their will.
Emperor Tianhou soil, God bless China!
The peasants in and out of the county were endless, and the huge crowd blocked the largest entrance to the county seat.
The flow of people and vehicles is deadlocked at the entrance, the driver keeps honking his horn, the children are crying, and the adults are shouting......
Although more than 10 police officers have been arranged to maintain order here, and although almost one-third of the traffic police force has dispatched to desperately guide here, as soon as it is slightly loosened, the crowd will immediately block up again.
Just a 2.5-kilometer-long, 5-meter-wide road connecting Dongda Road with three canals was crowded with 2,000 people......
More than 9,000 people are accommodated on the 6-kilometer trunk line from Huangling to Yugao......
The most congested is the main line from the Buhe River to the county seat. Its east and west ends are linked to the two largest safety zones, the Buhe River and the county seat, and more than 100,000 people have been transferred through this trunk line!
Moreover, this trunk line is also the only way from Jingzhou to the hinterland of the flood distribution area by ferry, and from the afternoon, due to the rigid order issued by the General Defense Headquarters, nearly 100 vehicles transporting supplies and rescue troops pass through here every hour.
The solemn vehicle was slowly moving in this flow of people with a mournful atmosphere.
This is a team that is too dense and too large, men and women, old and young, people next to people, people crowding people, big ones carrying small ones, small ones crying.
Various ......
Large trucks, small four-wheelers, three-wheelers, motorcycles, board cars, bicycles, all the means of transportation that can carry finances came in handy, and each vehicle was loaded to the limit of its load.
Food, furniture, clothing, electrical appliances......
Every car looks like it's bloated to its limit, top-heavy and crumbling, and it feels like it's going to be scattered all over the place at any moment.
Livestock are also a headache.
Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are also easy to say, and many people are still driving their own cattle.
Cattle have always been the lifeblood of farmers.
Chickens can be sold, ducks can be sold, sheep can be sold, pigs can be bought, but cattle can't be sold!
This is the case on every road to safety, without exception.
On the highway, the speed of movement of people and vehicles is estimated to be no more than 1 kilometer per hour, because each kilometer was estimated at 1,000 people, 100 vehicles, and 200 pigs......
However, this is only a rough estimate.
Unlike everyone retreating in the direction of the county seat, in the crowd of hundreds of thousands of retreating people, several teams wearing camouflage uniforms did the opposite.
Riding in trucks, they made a determined heading towards the hinterland of the embankment and the bonus zone.
According to the order, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the 1,900 cadres and more than 2,000 PLA cadres responsible for directing and coordinating the transfer of the people must carry out a comprehensive dragnet inventory in the dividend area to ensure that no one is missed!
A certain unit of the G Military Region stationed in Guizhou drove into the embankment of the GA County section at night and spread out along the riverside line, fighting shoulder to shoulder with the 1st Division, constantly raising and reinforcing the embankment, and preparing for a desperate struggle against the fourth flood peak.
Zhou Huping looked at the watch that was usually used for training on the co-pilot of the first car, and the time had reached 6:20.
There are less than 40 minutes left until the time to reach the designated area.
"Your car continues to drive slowly towards the designated place, we can't wait!"
He pushed open the door and jumped out of the car and walked towards the convoy behind him, smashing the car board with his fist every time he passed.
"All three squadrons are out of the car!"
Zhuang Zheng jumped out of the car with his comrades and stood by the truck.
On the congested road, all eyes of the people who evacuated the flood distribution area were on this group of PLA.
Zhou Huping couldn't gather the team, so he could only wave his hand and shout at everyone: "Follow me, there is not enough time, run over!" ”
More than 100 officers and men of the 3rd Squadron began to run one after the other on the road, running silently.
Looking at this group of people in military uniforms, the crowded flow of people consciously separated a pathway.
They all know that they are still heading towards the flood distribution area, which is a retrograde march towards death.
