In late July, the air in Kuala Lumpur is hot and humid, but fortunately, the air-conditioning outlets around the Kuala Lumpur Airport departure hall circulate cold air to dispel the heat and dryness of the air.

Xu Fan sat on a row of benches in the waiting hall, with a small package on his body, and only a mobile phone in his hand was left.

With the arrival of July, Xu Fan's Jinji University also began to have a summer vacation, after which Yang Ningxia proposed that Xu Fan go to Malaysia East Asia Communications Company as an intern for a few months, but Xu Fan politely refused.

Not long after Xu Fan rejected Yang Ningxia, he embarked on the journey back to China, but before he stepped on the plane, there was a problem, and with the call from the aunt who took care of Cao Shujing, she kicked this problem to Xu Fan.

The aunt on the other end of the phone said with an inquiring face: "Boss, it has been raining in the mountains for a period of time, and on our way out of the mountain, there are often natural disasters such as landslides, and notices have also been posted in the village, asking the villagers not to try not to go out of the mountain during this period of time, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll check the weather forecast in N province on the Internet to see when the rain will stop, and then we will send her to the hospital, there is still more than half a month before Shujing gives birth, and it shouldn't be a big deal to send her to the hospital two days late." ”

Xu Fan said uncertainly, after speaking, Xu Fan hung up the phone, opened the browser to check the weather conditions in N Province, and in the next second, countless information came to his face, focusing on a few items

【Meteorological Warning of Flash Floods】

The Ministry of Water Resources of China and the China Meteorological Bureau jointly issued a meteorological warning for flash floods at 18 o'clock on July 26:

Due to the advent of the rainy season, from July 27th to August 13th, there will be a once-in-a-decade heavy rainstorm in the northern part of XJ, the central part of Province G, and the northern part of Province N.

At that time, the rainfall can reach more than 250cc, and excessive rain can easily cause natural disasters, and flash floods are more likely to occur in the central part of Province G and the northern part of Province N.

All localities are requested to pay attention to flash floods caused by short-term heavy precipitation, and do a good job in real-time monitoring, flood prevention and early warning, and evacuation and other prevention work.

After reading this early warning notice, Xu Fan's brows furrowed unconsciously.

According to the aunt's oral statement, Cao Shujing was in great danger of giving birth in the mountains due to her improper fetal position, and she had to go to a well-equipped hospital to give birth, which showed that Cao Shujing had to go out of the mountain before the due date no matter what.

In the following days, the weather in that ghost place was bad, it was always windy and rainy, and the road out of the mountain was often blocked by the stones and dirt brought by the landslide, which was prone to danger.

The danger of traveling by land does not mean that it is safe to pick up by helicopter, and in this kind of thunderstorm, it is more dangerous to take the air transport than to take the land route.

This question really made Xu Fan difficult.

Xu Fan stretched out his hand to click on the weather forecast in N Province to see what the weather would be like in the next few days.

Preview of future weather in Province N.

Today (7.29) heavy rain

Heavy rain tomorrow (7.30).

The day after tomorrow (7.31), heavy rain turns to light rain

......

Xu Fan looked at the weather conditions in N Province in the next two weeks, and found that except for the little rainfall the day after tomorrow, the others were all heavy rain days, and even heavy rain days.

So, Xu Fan called the two aunts, told them what they knew, asked them to pay close attention to the situation the day after tomorrow, and if the weather was okay that day, he called the black car driver provided by Xu Fan and asked him to help send Cao Shujing down the mountain.

For this kind of thing, Xu Fan wanted to do it himself more assured, but time waits for no one, and if it is not surprising, he will not be able to arrive in Zhanlu City in N Province at noon the day after tomorrow.

At that time, when he drove into the mountains to pick up Cao Shujing, the time would be very tight, and as a last resort, Xu Fan had to spend a lot of money to hire Wu Jun's friend Xiaotian to help find a black car driver.

At noon two days later, when Xu Fan walked out of the train station in Zhanlu City, there was still a light rain in the world in front of him, and the vegetation and trees in the green belt on both sides of the road were fortunate to be exposed to the strong storm and rain.

Just as Xu Fan was about to go to the Women's and Children's Hospital in Zhanlu City, waiting for his aunt to send Cao Shujing over, the phone rang in his pocket, and Xu Fan glanced at the caller ID, which was his aunt's phone.

"Hey. Xu Fan connected to the mobile phone and asked, "Are you at the hospital?"

"Not yet, boss. The aunt was on the other end of the phone, and said with some difficulty: "Boss, that's right, isn't there a small reservoir next to the road out of the mountain in our village?"

It's raining so hard these days, the water level of the reservoir has reached the warning line, today I don't know why, a team of officers and soldiers came to reinforce the reservoir, and we have to go out of the mountain must pass by them, I'm afraid that my aunt and grandmother will make trouble after seeing the officers and soldiers, so..."

Auntie's words came to an abrupt end when she said this, and Xu Fan also heard what she wanted to express, that is, she and the driver didn't have the courage to pass by the officers and soldiers, and let Xu Fan figure out how to do it himself.

Xu Fan frowned, and then said: "I'll go and drive her into the city myself, where are you now, what kind of car are driving, I'll go to you immediately." ”

"We set off from the village, we were almost to the reservoir, we were driving a white SUV with a license plate..."

After Xu Fan hung up his aunt's phone, he didn't have time to stay, he walked to the side of the road and stretched out a taxi, which touched the heart of the driver's eldest brother with a high price, and asked him to drive out of the asphalt road in Zhanlu City and head towards the sheep intestine road in the mountains.

As he walked out of the city and into the mountains, Xu Fan looked through the window of the car stained with water droplets, looking at the green pickup truck carrying PLA soldiers outside the window, and he was constantly surpassed by himself, Xu Fan knew a little more about the natural disasters here.

Soon after the taxi went forward, it turned into a two-lane mountain road, and after driving a short distance on the mountain road, I saw a traffic jam ahead.

The taxi came to a slow stop, and the driver pointed to the stop pole standing across the road and said:

"Handsome guy, the front lane is blocked by the rocks that slide down the mountain, and now there is only one lane to pass, you see the traffic in the opposite direction, it is constantly going out, I don't know how long it will take, this only lane can be used by us. ”

Xu Fan raised his eyes and looked at the long queue of people entering the mountain in front of him, and a touch of worry flashed on his face.

"Then I'll get out of the car here and walk in by myself. ”

Xu Fan took out two red bills, threw them towards the front row, opened the car door, and walked out of the car in the rain.

When Xu Fan walked out of the car, the rain with the size of a bean hit Xu Fan, and the rain flowed down Xu Fan's cheeks into the collar, and the cold wind poured in from the neckline, which made Xu Fan cold.

The road into the mountain, Xu Fan has walked, there is still some reflection of this, his current location is about three kilometers away from the reservoir in his aunt's mouth, if you walk quickly, you are sure to arrive within twenty minutes.

When Xu Fan walked past the car stop pole, he saw a temporary hut made of plastic bags behind the car stop pole, which should be the temporary residence of the staff who controlled the lifting of the car stop pole.

Xu Fan wanted to bypass the hut directly, but he saw that under the eaves behind the house, there was a set of camouflage uniforms used by rural people for farming, Xu Fan didn't think much about it, and secretly took it away from the staff.
