Chapter 61: Rescue
Nearly two months have passed in a flash (Chapter 61 of the Heavenly Ce of the Holy Tang Dynasty).
"Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven......," Li Shan shouted one after another as he sat in the shade. It was the end of June, and under the scorching sun, a group of sweaty young men were lying in the courtyard doing push-ups in only shorts. Originally, they were all children from peasant families, and they were used to beating since they were children, but after this period of exercise, they not only became much stronger, but also understood a lot of truths, not only scientific principles, but also many principles of life.
Although a lot of complaints can be heard for a long time, there is no way to do it, Li Shan just wants to let them have grievances so that they can exercise harder. However, more people are convinced, because Li Shan taught them all kinds of strange things, which are not Confucian and Mencian classics, but they are very applicable, and they also feel their own changes and become stronger.
Li Shanzheng was holding a dogtail grass in his mouth and counting while thinking about tomorrow's class, when he suddenly heard Su Jinxi say, "Xianggong, Lord Zhao has sent someone." Li Shan lazily glanced at the official who came with Su Jinxi, and said, "What's the matter?" What happened to Lord Zhao? ”
The official came up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Li Dujian, the Yangtze River is flooded, and there is an accident on the embankment." Li Shan jumped up suddenly: "What? Is it serious? Isn't the repair work complete? ”
Su Jinxi also looked at Li Shandao very nervously: "Xianggong, what should I do." ”
The official continued: "The construction of the river embankment is carried out as planned, but this time the water is relatively large, and there is no major problem on the Jingzhou side, but several villages upstream are said to be flooded. Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the group of young men and said, "Brothers, after training for so long, it's time for you to take effect." Let me see what you're capable of. Five minutes to prepare, assemble and follow me. Li Shan rode a horse to the embankment first, and Zhuo Cheng led the team to follow.
"Master Li, you're here." Zhao Jun was busy cleaning up the mess after the flood. Fortunately, the repair of the embankment has been nearly half completed, and the flood has been successfully stopped, and only a small amount of flood water has overflowed from the gap, flooding the construction site a lot, which is quite troublesome. Zhao Jun is arranging for someone to rescue the tools soaked in the water.
"No one was hurt." Li Shan is more concerned about human issues. Lord Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, no, this flood is very fierce." Fortunately, Lee's construction plan has already taken this into account. The embankment was stronger than we expected. There is almost no loss, and Lord Lu should also come to inspect the river embankment in a while. This flood did not cause harm, and Lord Li is the first credit! ”
Li Shan said with a smile: "Lord Zhao has worked hard to command here day and night, and I haven't been here for a few days, so where can I dare to call it the first meritorious." Lord Zhao is working so hard, the first credit should be Lord Zhao" Zhao Jun was about to say more, and when he heard the voice of the official, Lu Jiuyuan had already come. "Haha, the two adults are working hard. I didn't expect this flood to come so quickly, but it can be seen that the construction of this embankment is going very smoothly. ”
Li Shan went up to salute and said, "Uncle Lu, everything is fine here, and Uncle Lu is still bothered to make a trip." I've heard that some villages upstream seem to have been damaged. Lu Jiuyuan frowned and said, "Indeed, the river embankment in some places upstream is not high, and the flood water directly overflowed the river embankment, flooding several villages. I've sent an official to help. Li Shan said: "The little nephew also wants to do his part, I will take the guys from the Immortal Pavilion to help over there." Lu Jiuyuan nodded, obviously very satisfied with Li Shan's approach.
Zhuo Cheng and a team of people have already come to the river embankment: "Big brother, all the members of the Heaven and Earth Society should say that there are forty-nine people, but there are forty-nine people, please instruct." Li Shan waved his hand and said: "All ready, head to Niujia Village, and move forward at full speed." ”
When they came to Niujia Village, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. It just so happens that this village is between two hills, where the flood water gathers. The flood had already submerged the entire village, and it was still forming a torrent that continued to hit the dilapidated village, and several people sat on the roofs of their houses desperately calling for help. Still others climbed into the trees. It was the first time Li Shan had seen the scene of the flood. He turned around and said, "Look at these people, they are your countrymen, your brothers and sisters, and we will save them." Now a group of six people is divided into a team, four groups follow me to the people in the village, and four groups follow Zhuo Cheng to search for the wounded near the village. ”
At this time, Lisha you watched Zhang Hongmeng run towards the village, Li Shan grabbed him, and the powerful impact almost brought Li Shan down. Li Shan said angrily: "What are you doing, looking for death?" Zhang Hong shook off Li Shan's hand and said, "That's my house, where my mother is." Li Shan looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, a middle-aged woman was lying on the roof and calling for help. Li Shan said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive, you will not only save your mother in the past like this, but also send yourself in." Zhang Hong said: "Don't preach here, aren't you usually very capable?" You're trying to figure it out. ”
Li Shan is also anxious now, what to do, what to do, think about the rescue methods of those people in his previous life. "We took advantage of these reserved houses and pulled the rope to swim over. It's dangerous, but there doesn't seem to be any other way around it now. ”
Zhang Hong said: "I'll go, I'm not afraid of danger." ”
"Okay, it's up to you. I believe that the results of your training will help you do it, just believe in yourself. Let's go. ”
Li Shan first wrapped the rope around a stone and tried to throw it and hang it on the house, but he failed several times. Zhang Hong said: "Let me swim over, I grew up in the water since I was a child, and the water is very good." Li Shan tied the rope around Zhang Hong's waist and said, "Okay, come on." The speed of the flood is very fast, and if you are exhausted, you must call us immediately, and we will pull you back, or you will die. ”
Zhang Hong nodded vigorously and plunged directly into the water, the flood force was extremely strong, and it could be seen that Zhang Hong's water properties were excellent, like a fish swimming against the current, struggling to swim to the nearest house near the shore. Zhang Hong was flooded several times, but he stubbornly got out again, and Li Shan was also anxious on the shore. Finally, Zhang Hong still lived up to expectations and swam to the house, climbed up in three or two, tied the rope to the beam, and then lay down directly. He was already exhausted.
"Hurry up, you guys pull the rope one by one, and then go to other places with good water to see if there is anyone who can be saved, just use this method, remember, to ensure your own safety. Go ahead. ”
Slowly passed another house, and finally Zhang Peng swam to the roof where his mother was, tied the rope to his mother, and then swam back with his mother, while the others pulled the rope the other side. Fortunately, the journey went very smoothly, and Zhang Hong rescued his mother. Li Shan patted Zhang Hong, who was almost in collapse, and said, "Good job, young man, it's really good." ”
Zhang Peng knelt directly in front of Li Shan and said, "Big brother, thank you." Thank you for these two months of teaching, if it weren't for these two months of training, I wouldn't have been able to save my mother. From now on, you will be my eldest brother, please accept Zhang Peng's worship. As he spoke, he kowtowed. Li Shan hurriedly helped Zhang Hong up and said: "Why are you talking about this, you forgot, we are all from the Heaven and Earth Society, and we are all brothers." Everyone was also hot in their hearts, and said loudly: "We are all brothers." ”
After a day and a night of rescue, everyone in Niujia Village was finally rescued by Li Shan. Everyone lifted Li Shan up and cheered: "Big brother, big brother, big brother...... " Li Shan also smiled happily, finally they were really practiced, after the baptism of blood and tears, he believed that this group of people could succeed.
"Well, the kids I've trained are okay." Li Shan said with some pride. Shen Shixing glanced at Li Shan lightly and said, "Two months can make a group of rabble have such cohesion and combat effectiveness, and you really have two hits." Li Shan said: "I have even crazier ideas, I plan to pick a few more of these people with the most potential, for a devilish training, how about it, do you want to try it?" Shen Shixing looked at Li Shan with interest and said: "Okay, I have a few candidates, that Zhang Hong is not bad, he has only been practicing martial arts for a month, and now he is a little interesting." ”
