The wharf of Bizhou, immersed in a hazy expanse, is a rainy and rainy weather, the ships hanging white sails, looming in a white fog, just like the undulating cyan mountains in the distance, wearing a white soft yarn, and the white canvas is one of the heavy gauze skirt feet, the fog fills the entire sky, the crowd of people coming and going is bustling, and I can't see the joy or melancholy on everyone's face.

He Yuwen wrapped a gray long coat, held a black long-handled umbrella, anxiously and happily waited on the shore, and He Yuhua on the side also kept looking at the river and sea on the other side, the rain kept falling, and the people who came and went were surging with umbrellas, looking up like a turtle carrying a turtle shell and constantly moving.

He Yuzi received his letter and sent a fax email at the post office, telling them that they would return in three days, so on this day, He Yuwen and He Yuwen came to the dock early in the morning to welcome the eldest sister home after many years of absence.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen her for too long, and my heart is missing her more and more warmly, it's a kind of family affection like siblings, and the same blood flows in the body, so time can only make that feeling deeper, and not gradually thin.

"Hoo ......"

There was a big white steamer, slowly sailing from the far sea, carrying the joy and excitement of a boatload of people, the faces of the people on board were covered by thick clouds and mist, looking from the other side, I saw their hands waving constantly, waving happily in the white mist, like a seabird stretching its long neck and white wings, flying into the distance.

As the ship slowly approached, the sound of the ship stopping and roaring seemed to be pushed away, and gradually the outline of people's faces and the joyful or calm faces gradually became clear.

The people on the shore looked around, all crowded at the forefront, for fear of missing the person they wanted to meet, a whirring sound, the sound of chatter, the noise of the cold air suddenly made the cold air noisy, the people on the boat, towing boxes and bags, slowly like a stream of water, dumped on the dock, holding the sign, still looking for the person they want to pick up, the people who received their relatives have left with laughter, a coax, only some lonely travelers who are in a trance and no one to greet them, and some people who searched through the sea of people and did not find their familiar figure, left empty and melancholy and disappointed, and the scene gradually became cold, and it seemed that the rain was heavier again......

He Yuhua put down the sign in his hand in frustration, looked at the endless and empty sea area, and said with a grudge: "Alas, why haven't you come yet, this is the third steamer, could it be delayed?" ”

He Yuwen's green eyebrows were covered with two thin layers of white mist, and his eyes looked ahead firmly and calmly: "Wait a little longer......

The two of them stayed there like that, blowing the cold wind, suffering from the endless silky rain, watering the expectations in their hearts again and again, and reuniting the special thoughts in their hearts again and again.

"Boom ......"

Another roar of thunder.

Until noon, the sky suddenly became darker, as if the black oppressive sky was about to collapse, the sky could not withstand the power of heavy and huge black clouds, as if it was about to fall to the ground, turning the day upside down, into the scene when night was coming, making people panic, worrying, and dull, this weather is not a good sign.

"What should I do, this stormy, this ship will not affect the sea surface, right?"

"Yes, yes, this god really doesn't have long eyes, bless my husband to return safely, smooth sailing, don't go wrong!"

"Alas, it's not early or late, but it's ...... at this time."

He Yuwen also heard an old woman and a woman beside him, chattering in fragments, looking at their nervous appearances, and the fear of this fierce weather in his tone, he also secretly beat a drum in his heart, and he, who was as calm as water, also began to worry.

"Brush Brush Brush!! …”

Just as a group of restless people on the shore, like ants on a hot pot, were startled by the sudden cold rain as big as beans, like stones, smashed into a huge hornet's nest surrounded by wasps, after being violently attacked, they began to flee in all directions, one by one in embarrassment and haste, fleeing from the bare dock, hiding under the eaves on the shore.

"Big brother, let's go, the rain is too big, the umbrella can't hold it, and it may not be able to come for a while, let's go over and avoid it first...!"

Everyone fled in all directions, He Yuhua was blown by the wind, his face was blue from the cold rain, and he said to He Yuwen with a crumbling umbrella and a howling and fierce wind.

He Yuwen was also blown messy by the wind, and the wind beat his voice to pieces: "Okay! ”

This rain is really menacing, fast and fierce people are caught off guard, originally calm and rainy weather, suddenly turned, it changed its face, into a stormy rough and vicious weather.

Yangzhou City ......

Zhao Tancen and Zhao Wanggu, who were in high spirits in military uniforms, were talking about business in the bureau, and a storm came, breaking the thoughts of the two.

Zhao Wanggu pulled the window and closed it, and said casually: "Why is this rain so heavy, it's too big......"

"If this continues, there is no telling how many people will be implicated and suffered."

Listening to his son's words of worrying about the country and the people, Zhao Wanggu put his hands behind his back, looked at the raindrops jumping up and down outside the window through the window, and said with a heavy face: "Yes, the Qingjiang River that passed through Bizhou, the river city of Yangzhou, has not risen for many years, and I still remember the last time there was a big flood that flooded half of the city of Yangzhou, or thirty years ago, it was also like such a heavy rain, and it rained for three days and three nights to drown many people by the river. ”

Zhao Tancen's eyes were like beans, and he said pityingly: "If this rain rains for so long, it may really be a disaster again." ”

"yes, so let's pray, or it's another human disaster......

Yangzhou Jiangcheng Bizhou these three big cities are built around a wide and boundless river, Yangzhou is located in the lower reaches of the river, and Bizhou City is located in the upper reaches, the middle passes through Jiangcheng, because of the topography of Yangzhou, so every flood Yangzhou is the first disaster area, and because foreign sails have to pass from Yangzhou, so it is also a developed city.

The rain is like a broken bead, rushing towards the world, wantonly smashing everything in the world, followed by a poignant hissing wind, wantonly squandering the warmth of the world.

Around the end of the afternoon, the worried father and son received bad news from the docks.

The old-fashioned landline phone on the desk alarmed as the rain sounded.

Zhao Wanggu and Zhao Tancen, who was also nervous on the side, glanced at each other, and then picked up the noisy phone and put it to his ear to sound.

Sure enough, it was not surprising that it was Director Chen from the dock, the phone seemed to be in a hurry, and the rustling noise was because the signal was interfered with by the weather, and from the intermittent sound, I also heard a general meaning, not good news.

After a while, Zhao Wanggu hung up the phone, the expression on his face was heavy, and his brows were tightly locked, it was obvious that it was bad news about the dock.

Zhao Tancen asked tentatively: "What's the matter, father, is something wrong?" ”

"On the dock, something happened, the situation is urgent and now needs people, immediately support and rescue, it is a foreign ship, because of the weather hit the reef, on the river, capsized more than 100 people on board, now all life and death are uncertain, the sea is very strong, our people are trying to find ways to support, now there is to let this side send people over quickly, but now Director Wang and Liu Zhan are not there."

Seeing Zhao Wanggu's unhappy and heavy expression, Zhao Tancen volunteered to stand up.

"Father, Tan Cen Mao recommended himself, if his father can trust Tan Cen, please also ask my father to hand over this important task to me, Tan Cen will not disgrace his mission, he will do his best to protect the safety of the people, and please ask my father for permission!"

Zhao Wanggu's face turned pale, and he asked with a calm face: "You are still young, although you are healthy, you have never participated in such a big practical task, how can you be competent!" No, no, the stakes are so high that you have to send some experienced people, so don't mess around! ”

Zhao Tancen knelt on one knee as he spoke, with a resolute attitude without smiling, and said with a strong voice: "Father, let Tan Cen go, now that people's lives are at stake, if you hesitate for a moment, you are wasting rescue time, and please ask my father to think twice and trust the younger generations!" ”

Zhao Wanggu, like most parents, said that he was inexperienced, but in fact, he was also selfish, this younger generation of the Zhao family had this only son, how could he be relieved and bold to send him to a place where the wind and waves were ruthless and dangerous!

Seeing Zhao Wanggu's sad and hesitant expression, Zhao Tancen got up directly, picked up the coat and hat on the hanger, said a few words to Zhao Wanggu, and then strode away without looking back: "Father, I have made up my mind, and I hope that my father will bear it, Tan Cen can't listen to his father's advice this time, and when Tan Cen returns triumphantly, he will ask his father for his guilt!" ”

Zhao Wanggu came back to his senses, he had already swaggered away, regardless of his face: "Tan Cen, Zhao Tan Cen, you ...... You bastard boy stand ...... me."
