"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Lao Xiao stood up and looked at Xia Jian, who was starless, and the old man was also a little frightened.

After a long time, two long-lost tears flowed down Xia Jian's face, and he trembled his lips and said: "Old Xiao, my family has been affected by a disaster, it has suffered a catastrophe, it's over, it's all over..."

Lao Xiao sat back slowly, turned off the TV, the old man's face was solemn, he could see the picture on the TV clearly, which scene can indeed be described as miserable, I don't know what the casualties are? Looking at Xia Jian's appearance, there must be his relatives in this village.

"Don't cry, a man sheds blood and sweat without tears, this is a natural disaster, manpower cannot be refused, what you have to do now is to hurry home and figure out the situation of the disaster at home, Xiao Xiao and I, as well as the entrepreneurial group will help you" Lao Xiao said loudly to Xia Jian, the old man is not at a loss, he came down from the battlefield, and he is not chaotic.

That's right! Does this work for me? Xia Jian wiped away his tears and said decisively to Lao Xiao: "I want to go back to Xiping Village, I'll leave now."

"Okay, call Wang Lin and ask her to arrange a driver and drive you, so that it will be faster" After Lao Xiao finished speaking, he immediately ran back to the bedroom.

Xia Jian tried hard to calm himself down, he remembered the phone number Fang Fang left for him, he didn't expect to use it so quickly. The phone called, Xia Jian roughly explained the situation, and Fang Fang on the phone didn't think about it and immediately agreed.

packed a few clothes, and when Xia Jian was about to go out, Lao Xiao chased after him, holding a thick envelope in his hand, he handed it to Xia Jian and said: "You use this thing now, you don't have to say anything" Xia Jian nodded, he knew that this was Lao Xiao's savings.

This Fang Fang didn't know if it was a plane or a car, anyway, when Xia Jian went out, her car had already parked. After getting in the car, needless to say, Fang Fang just asked Xia Jian's home address, then took out a map, looked for a drawing on it, and then said: "Sit down" The car flew out like an arrow.

Along the way, Xia Jianman's mind was full of tragic pictures on TV, he never thought that Xiping Village would endure such a big ordeal, it was a bit incredible, he had seen it on TV and in the newspaper before, but he didn't expect it to fall on him today.

Fang Fang didn't lose that she came down from the army, she had an indelible will, she drove the car all the way, Xia Jian remembered that only when they were refueling, they took a short rest outside.

After more than ten hours, the car turned into the village road, and soon arrived at Pingyang Town, where vehicles passed through the town, and people came and went, but they all looked hurried. When the Xichuan River arrived in Pingyang Town, it was already the most downstream, and from the traces of the overflow of the river, it could not be seen how big the water was the night before.

Xia Jian didn't dare to ask, so he asked Fang Fang to drive straight to Xiping Village, and along the way, the villages where the river passed by were all affected to varying degrees. When they arrived at Xiping Village, it was very difficult for the car to walk on the muddy country road, and some vehicles from outside had to stop on the side of the road.

The moment he got out of the car, Xia Jian's whole person was about to collapse. Xiping Village is low in the north and high in the south, the river is close to the north, and the river has receded in the north of the whole village, a collapsed house and a rotten courtyard, and the yellow mud is almost to people's knees.

The south side of the village, although not as bad as the north side, also has collapsed houses. At the highest point in the village, rows of improvised tents have been erected, and there are a few people who look like leaders, who are loudly commanding something.

Xia Jian saw the familiar camouflage uniform, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.

"Mr. Xia, don't be stunned, go and see what's going on at your house? There are people in the army, the problem will be solved soon" Fang Fang lightly touched Xia Jian, who was in a daze, and reminded him softly.

After Fang Fang said this, he remembered that his family had the easternmost part of the village, and the river rushed in from the west, so he didn't know... Xia Jian ran wildly all the way, and the muddy water under his feet splashed all over his body, he could take care of these.

Along the way, several villagers greeted him, but he didn't bother to answer.

Xia Jian stood stupidly in front of the door of his yard, and a hanging heart fell, although the yard was muddy, but the house was intact, but the courtyard wall fell down a large piece, as long as the house was fine, it means that the family should be safe.

"Jian'er! Is that you? A familiar voice came from behind him.

As soon as Xia Jian turned around, he saw his mother Sun Yuejuan, barefoot and covered in mud, rushing towards him.

At this moment, Xia Jian felt that he was very happy, he hugged his mother, and asked in a choked voice, "Mom, is Dad okay?" Sun Yuejuan just nodded excitedly, and the tears on her face had flowed into a river.

After a while, the mother and son separated, and Xia Jian asked anxiously, "What is the situation in the whole village?" ”

"The west of the village was the most severely affected, where the river passed, almost all the houses collapsed, Chen Kang's father was crushed to death by the collapsed wall due to inconvenience in his legs and feet, and there were five to protect Grandma Chen, this time also left, everyone else was fine, but there were more than ten injured, and now they have been sent to the Municipal People's Hospital by the People's Liberation Army" Sun Yuejuan, choked up and told the situation in the village roughly.

Xia Jian's heart felt a little better, as long as people are fine, everything will be fine.

"Jian, you go to the Xichuan River Dam to see Zhao Hong!" Sun Yuejuan suddenly said to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Zhao Hong?" ”

"Hey! You elm pimple, Zhao Hong's vegetable greenhouse in Xichuan River Dam was washed away by the river the night before yesterday, and I heard from the people in the village that she invested more than 100,000 yuan this time, all of which were borrowed. Pity her for a woman's house, from yesterday morning to now, she has been sitting on the edge of the greenhouse, not drinking a drop of water, if she goes on like this, she will die" Sun Yuejuan glanced at Xia Jian, meaning not to hurry up.

dripping with muddy water all the way, when Xia Jian came to the Xichuan River Dam, he was about to become a mud man.

A large piece of collapsed broken wall and bricks, occasionally in the mud, you can still see a touch of green, which is the vegetable seedlings that Zhao Hong has just planted.

Zhao Hong sat on the half-brick wall, looking into the distance with empty eyes, and her mother-in-law Wang Qiaohua was standing beside her with a lunch box in her hand, and kept saying something in her mouth.

Xia Jian stepped on the muddy water, fluttered and walked over, Wang Qiaohua, who heard the sound, suddenly turned around, she shouted in surprise: "Xia Jian!" The old man's eyes were full of tears, she shoved the lunch box in her hand into Xia Jian's hand, nodded at Zhao Hong, and turned away.

Where Zhao Hong sits, like a sculpture, does not move.

"Zhao Hong, I'm Xia Jian" Xia Jian walked over and shook Zhao Hong's body gently.

Zhao Hong seemed to have walked back from a distant place, and only turned back after a while, looking straight at Xia Jian with her eyes, suddenly she stood up suddenly, picked up her arms, and only heard a snap, and the big slap hit Xia Jian's face, which was hot and painful.

Xia Jian didn't move, he said softly: "Let's fight!" As long as you feel better, you can hit a few more times."

Zhao Hong put down the slap and pounced violently, the lunch box in Xia Jian's hand plopped and fell into the water on the ground, Xia Jian hugged Zhao Hong tightly, Zhao Hong let out a long cry and cried bitterly, this cry echoed in the sky above the Xichuan River, full of infinite desolation.

For a long time, for a long time, Zhao Hong stopped crying, she let go of Xia Jian, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?" “

"There's such a big thing going on in the village, can I not come? Anyway, I'm also a member of Xiping Village" Xia Jian let out a sigh of relief, as long as Zhao Hong spoke, she would be saved.

After searching for a while from the water, Xia Jian found the lunch box, fortunately, the lid was tight, and the dirty water did not go in, Xia Jian handed the lunch box to Zhao Hong and said, "Eat some!" “

"Don't eat" Zhao Hong was a little angry with Xia Jian.

Xia Jian grabbed Zhao Hong's hand, put the lunch box in her hand and said: "It's good for people to live, someone has everything, as long as you Zhao Hong is willing to work, in the near future, your greenhouse will still be built here."

"It's easy to say. How did you know this news, it will take more than two days to transfer from Bucheon City, to say the least" Zhao Hong said, taking the lunch box, it may be that Xia Jian's appearance made her see the hope of life again.

Xia Jian stood on the half-cut wall, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "I was watching the news, I accidentally saw it, in order to hurry, I asked my colleagues from the company to drive me over, but I didn't expect that our Pingdu City is so backward, there are potholes all the way, and the car can't run at all, what makes people most incomprehensible is that Pingyang Town to our Xiping Village, not only more than ten kilometers, but drove for more than an hour"

"It's good to know, let's stay! The people here need you," Zhao Hong looked at Xia Jian with affection.

Stay? Xia Jian really didn't think about it.
