Chapter 0023: The True Colors of Heroes
The Tao River crosses Bucheon City, and the scenery on both sides of the city has already been transformed, but the riverbed in the west has not yet been completed, and there are still a few small soil bags left in the middle of the river, because of the drought in recent years, the river is small like a jade belt.
Some old people who walk the dogs let go of their dogs and let the dogs enjoy themselves by the river. Suddenly, there were two tender "Wang" sounds, and Xia Jian, who was fascinated, found that on a small dirt bag not far from under the bridge, a black and shiny puppy was barking towards the edge of the river embankment.
It turned out that on the edge of the river embankment, there was an old man about sixty years old, holding a big black dog in his hand, and the big black dog was half-squatting, looking very powerful. The old man waved his hand at the little black dog on the small dirt bag, the little guy didn't bark anymore, and played by himself, this scene simply stunned Xia Jian.
Gradually, there were more and more people on both sides of the Tao River, and the sounds of people, dogs, and children running frolickingly became one, and no one paid attention to the dark clouds in the sky.
Suddenly, a gust of wind mixed with the smell of earth passed through the bridge hole, Xia Jian was startled, looked outside, and didn't find that it was raining, but Tian's face was a little ugly, and a feeling of insecurity suddenly hit his heart, Xia Jian hurriedly stood up.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Run!" It's a big flood."
The sound came from the top of the bridge, Xia Jian felt a little far away when he heard it, as soon as the sound fell, there were also people on both sides of the river embankment who shouted, and in an instant, frightened shouts resounded on both sides of the Tao River.
Oh, my God! At the west end of the Tao River, the rushing river water filled the entire riverbed, whistling and coming, and when Xia Jian saw the waves, he felt that the river was only forty or fifty meters away from the Tao River West Bridge.
The people at the bottom of the riverbed ran very fast, the adults pulled the children, the young people helped the old people, and in a blink of an eye, they all reached a safe place, Xia Jian also slightly estimated the height of the waves, and it should not overflow the bridge hole where he stayed.
A miserable dog barking sounded on the empty riverbed, making people on both sides of the riverbank look in the direction of the dog's barking.
A big black dog, barking and running to the big dirt bag at the bottom of the riverbed, behind the big black dog, is the old man who led it just now, the old man seems to be running very strong, but the legs and feet are not good, and the speed is still very slow.
The people on both sides of the river let out terrible screams: "Leave the dogs alone, run back, save your life"
The tumbling river, carrying sediment and some fallen trees, quickly pressed up. Thirty meters, twenty meters, it looks like he is about to come down, but the old man just chased to the bottom of the riverbed at this time, once the river comes down, the old man will definitely be washed away by the water.
Xia Jian stayed in the bridge cave, condescending, and the scene at the bottom of the riverbed was clear at a glance. The big black dog sniffed wildly, and it seemed that the little black dog could not be found for a while, and the little black dog who stayed on the big dirt bag was probably frightened by the shouts on both sides of the riverbank, and actually squatted stupidly and did not move.
The situation is very critical, the river is getting closer and closer, Xia Jian on the bridge and hole, he no longer has time to think, he turned over and slipped down the bridge hole, and rushed down the riverbed like a fly, where the puppy stayed, he knew very well. The sound of the whistling river, the screams of the people behind him, Xia Jian ignored it completely, and in a few arrow steps, Xia Jian had reached the top of the big earth bag.
In order to save time and race against the river, Xia Jian rolled down the big dirt bag with the puppy, and the mud and sand washed up by the river had reached a few meters behind him.
The people on both sides of the river embankment were about to go crazy, and the few lives that were alive were about to be swallowed up by the water. They shouted desperately, hoping that this shout would make Xia Jian and them out of danger as soon as possible.
At this time, Xia Jian couldn't hear any sound from the outside world, there was only one voice in his heart, run, run!
Xia Jian held the little black dog in one hand, pulled up the old man who was in a daze with the other, and rushed desperately to the shore, the big black dog behind him, as if he understood human nature, arched the old man with his mouth, so that the old man invisibly accelerated the speed of running.
Just when Xia Jian felt that he was almost exhausted of all his strength, he took the old man's hand, and suddenly it was light, he instinctively threw himself on the embankment, the river water had rushed under his feet, and the rushing waves splashed on his body, Xia Jian trembled violently, and people couldn't help but sober up a lot, it turned out that he had gone up to the embankment, and the little black dog in his arms was licking the back of his hand with his tongue, as if he was grateful.
The old man sitting next to him was panting heavily, and the big black dog was missing behind him. The cheering crowd gathered around and praised Xia Jian loudly, leaving the temporary danger behind.
"Hello big hero! I'm a reporter from Bucheon Daily, and I just filmed the scene where you just saved the elderly, can you tell me what you thought at the time? If you slow down a little, your life may be gone" A man in his thirties, with a large camera hanging on his chest, was half-squatting beside Xia Jian, still holding a pen and notebook in his hand.
Xia Jian was shocked, he was in the mood to be interviewed now, he shook his head helplessly, the old man sitting next to him, as if he had just come back to his senses at this time, he waved his hand unceremoniously at the reporter and said: "Go and go, you have to find a time for the interview, now the danger has not passed, what are you picking!"
"Okay Old Xiao, I'll find another chance! Da Hei was washed away by the big water just now to save you, you should be proud of Da Hei, not sad, take care! "Not only was the reporter not angry, but he was also very respectful of the old man.
Xia Jian then understood, it turned out that when he went ashore just now, his hand was light, and it was the big black dog that pushed the old man, but this loyal big black dog was washed away by the water.
At this time, sirens came from both sides of the embankment, and the police began to evacuate the crowd, and some people scolded, saying that there was a lot of water upstream, and the downstream did not receive a notice in advance, fortunately there were no lives, it was indeed dangerous, Xia Jian thought of what happened just now, his legs were a little weak, it seems that this hero is really not so easy to be.
The river roared, feeling like it was going to rush up the embankment, Xia Jianqiang stood up, stuffed the little black dog in his hand into the old man's arms and said: "The dog is back to you, don't do such a thing in the future, you see how dangerous it is" After Xia Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left, it seems that this bridge cave can no longer live, he should find a new place.
The old man picked up the little black dog, nodded silently towards the rushing river, and then chased after Xia Jian.
"Wait lad, I have something to say," the old man chased after him.
Xia Jian couldn't help but slow down, and couldn't help but secretly scolded in his heart, "You dead old man, for a dog, you almost took my life, and you don't let me go, what else do you want to do?"
The old man stepped in front of Xia Jian, blocking his way, and then beckoned, a taxi stopped, not allowing Xia Jian to speak, the old man had pushed Xia Jian into the taxi, Xia Jian found that the old man had a lot of strength.
The old man shouted at the taxi driver, and then raised his face again and said nothing.
The car was running fast, and it was a nice feeling. Xia Jianchang is so old, it's the first time to take a taxi, what is the origin of this old man? Why does any reporter respect him so much, still being old, with a dog, and taking a taxi? And forcibly pulled him into the car, and all kinds of questions suddenly popped up in Xia Jian's heart.
He couldn't help but turn to one side and take a closer look at the old man sitting beside him, the old man was medium, his face was full of wrinkles, his face was serious, and although his clothes were not eye-catching, they were by no means ordinary.
"Don't look, I'm eighty-five years old. Ay! I'm really old, or maybe I still need you to save me just now? No matter how dark I am, I won't die for me" The old man suddenly said to Xia Jian, but Xia Jian found that when the old man said the last sentence, his eyes were full of tears.
Eighty-five years old, my God, I thought that people were in their sixties, Xia Sanye was in his eighties, compared with him, he was too old to say, what the hell did this person do, and shed tears for a dog. Xia Jian wanted to ask but didn't dare to say anything, so he had to guess blindly, with a dog, and he loved dogs so much, huh! It must be a lonely old man.
That's not right! This temperament is still a bit different, Xia Jian guessed the identity of the old man several times in a row, but one by one he quickly denied it.
Who the hell is he?
