Chapter 180: Lost and Found
Ah Wei and I hurriedly came to the tent, only to see a middle-aged man with a walkie-talkie in front of him who looked like a rescue finger, and he didn't care about etiquette and hurriedly asked: "Comrade, we are from Hongji Company, how is our President Mu now?" ”
The man looked back at us and said, "The people invited to the festival are all trapped in the water, due to the burst of the upstream river, the water is too sudden and violent, we have not rescued a single person until now, and it is known that three cars were washed away the moment the flood came." Due to the suddenness of the danger, we have limited manpower, we can only solve the current crisis first, as for your company, Mr. Mu, I don't know, but we have notified the city bureau, and now we are organizing a search and rescue team, I believe it will come soon! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel even more panicked, and the feeling of collapse hit my whole body again.
"Is there a way to get in touch with the trapped people now? I want to confirm if our Mr. Mu is among them? I pulled myself together and asked again, what I had to figure out at this moment was whether Mu Xichun's car was among the three cars. Oh my God, my whole body shuddered when I thought about this!
"We contacted a colleague from the Municipal Planning Bureau, he was in the trapped crowd, and three cars were swept away, and it was the information he provided to us that he provided us, I can call again to ask about your Mr. Mu's situation!"
As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, and he had to turn on the speakerphone to hear clearly due to the noise caused by the rain.
"Lao Xiao, may I ask if Mr. Mu from Hongji Real Estate is with you?" In order to be able to hear the other party clearly, he shouted loudly into the phone.
However, the answer that came immediately almost made me faint, and the more I feared something, the more something came, and it shattered the last trace of my luck......
The answer was yes, he barely paused at all, didn't even have time to think......
"Mr. Mu's car was swept away by the flood......"
My whole body shook violently, my legs could barely stand, I staggered back two steps, and my body slammed into a jeep behind me, and I felt like the sky was spinning.
I looked around in a daze, and there was nothing but the endless darkness and the sound of the rushing waves......
Ah Wei's situation was obviously no better than mine, his face was as white as paper, his eyes stared at the raging flood in a daze, he turned his head to look at me, his throat bulging and his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything.
There was a cacophony of people coming and going, shouting, crying, sirens, and the sound of electricity on the walkie-talkie, but all of them seemed to be far away from me, and they seemed to be my auditory hallucinations......
At this time, a flash of lightning sounded in the sky, and the earth was instantly illuminated with snow-white, followed by a deafening thunderclap, and my whole body trembled, and I woke up in an instant.
I can't mess around, it's not time to collapse, I can't sit still, I have to do something, as long as there is hope, I can't give up, I can't give up, I can't give up......
I pulled Ah Wei, who was still standing in a daze, grabbed his shirt and shook him a few times to shake him awake.
"We can't sit still here, we have to go find her, she might just be stuck somewhere, we have to save her!" I snapped.
Ah Wei was awakened by my words and came back to life, nodding his head while saying yes incoherently.
I took one look at the surging flood and said to him, "We are along."

Look downstream with the flood, you look for this, I look for a chance to cross to the flood side, we look for it together, remember not to get the phone wet by the water, if anyone finds out about the spring, notify the other party as soon as possible! ”
Ah Wei never seemed to have encountered such a situation, and he was a little at a loss, and nodded blankly again after listening to me.
We asked the rescue team for two portable gas lamps and sealed the phones in sealed bags. The rescue commander wanted to stop our inexperienced blindness, but we couldn't listen to it, so we had to give us two gas lamps and let us go.
When I broke up with Ah Wei, I stopped him: "Ah Wei! ”
He looked back at me.
"Stay safe!" I couldn't help but remind him when I saw his chaotic appearance, I informed him of the situation, and at this moment I put forward the idea of looking for Mu Xichun, if he is in any danger again, I will really be to blame.
Ah Wei glanced at me, nodded, stopped talking, turned around and hurried downstream.
According to the agreement, I want to find a way to go to the other side of the river, looking for it on the other side of the flood, if Mu Xichun is lucky enough to be swept to the side by the flood, there is a high probability that it will be somewhere on both sides of the river, just look at this kind of rain, even if she has escaped ashore, I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic, this kind of terrain, there is a risk of landslides or flash floods on both sides at any time.
Although the chance of Mu Xichun getting out of the car and being swept to the shore again is almost minimal, it is not completely impossible, as long as there is a slight possibility, I can't give up, I must do my best in this golden time for rescue!
I found a wide area where the flood waters were much more moderate than in other places, and I immediately decided to go through here.
I put my phone in a sealed bag in a snug pocket to protect it from flooding, and I slung the gas lamp over my shoulder, which was waterproof. After doing all this, I took off my shirt and plunged headlong into the muddy floodwater.
I've always been good at the water, and that's why I feel confident that I can swim from here to the other side. But I obviously miscalculated the difference between a flood and a river.
If it were a normal river, I would have been able to swim to the other side almost effortlessly, but this is a flood, and the situation is different. Although the place I chose is relatively wide and the current is not too fast, it is not too fast, and it is not not urgent. In addition, the flood is covered with mud, sand, branches, weeds, and other messy things, and with the obstruction of these things, it is naturally much more laborious than swimming in clear water.
Although I eventually swam to the other side, I was almost exhausted. After pulling the weeds and climbing ashore, I was almost sore, and I lay on the shore for a long time before I regained some strength, then got up again and turned on the gas lights to look downstream.
A light on the other side was already far away from me, and Ah Wei had already found a place far downstream before me, and the light in his hand was like a candle in the wilderness, and it looked extremely weak in the dark night......
I searched downstream with a very low degree of recognition under the illumination of the gas light, and shouted Mu Xichun's name!
Girl...... Girl......
The sound seemed to be impenetrable under the rain curtain, muffled by the sound of the rain and the waves, but I still screamed as hard as I could, I couldn't miss the slightest opportunity to find her, I had to keep looking for someone who couldn't see her, no matter how difficult it was, I couldn't give up......
I walked down the rim of the canyon, and there was almost no road as far as I went, the thorn bushes had torn my clothes, and my legs were covered in scars and rain
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The water soaked was unbearable and painful. But I don't care about these at all, and there is only one voice in my heart at this moment, that is, I must find my girl, and I must bring her back safely!
Time passed and I could scarcely remember how far I had walked, except that when I looked back, I could no longer see the gas light on the ladder of the fire truck.
The rain was still pouring down, as if the sky had broken through a hole, and the roar of the flood water on his side seemed to be getting louder and louder.
After all this time, there is still not a trace of the possible signs I expected, and there is still no call from Ah Wei on his mobile phone, and it is clear that he has not found any clues.
My heart gradually sank, and I couldn't help but feel fear! My throat was hoarse and I couldn't make a slightly loud sound, but I still called out to my girl!
My girl! Where are you......
God, if you really have eyes, please take care of my girl, if my girl can be saved eventually, I am willing to spend the rest of my life to be a devout believer, to repay your supreme kindness, I will devote myself to being a good person, I will do a good deed every day, I will die unswervingly......
As I swore to the gods with a sincere heart and a hoarse voice as I walked through the thorn bushes, there was a slight cry for help from the rain.
I thought I was having auditory hallucinations due to a near-emotional breakdown, but when I stopped to listen carefully to make sure that it was indeed a voice calling for help, I was startled and a wave of ecstasy surged over me.
My eyes followed the beam of the gas lamp, and I shouted loudly, "Is that you, girl?" Where are you? ”
The faint voice came again: "I'm here ......"
I was even more ecstatic when I heard this voice, because although the voice was weak, I clearly heard that it was a female voice, and I was almost excited to shed tears, my girl, don't be afraid, I'm coming......
By the time I had determined that the sound was not far ahead, I had no idea how tall a man was in the thorns, and I almost rushed towards the source of the sound.
I felt a pang of cramping as the light of the gas lamp finally found the exact source of the sound, and I saw a man on the edge of the flood, with only her head above the water, her hands clutching at the thorn bushes on the shore. Apparently she was no longer able to climb ashore, so she had to desperately cling to the thorn bushes to keep her body from being swept away by the flood.
But Rao was still drowning her head from time to time by the rolling waves, and judging from her weak voice, she was almost exhausted, and God knows how long she had been in this position......
I saw this scene in three steps and one step at a time, and I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the flood with all my might.
I hugged her tightly in my arms, and I was so excited that I almost burst into tears, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of great happiness that I had lost and regained. The voice trembled and said, "Girl, I'm sorry I'm late, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
She was suddenly reborn in a Jedi, and she was even more excited than me, her arms around my waist and she was crying, sobbing and trembling so much that she couldn't speak.
After a long time, her emotions finally calmed down a little, she finally let go of the arm that was holding my waist, and I lifted the gas lamp to check if she was hurt, but I couldn't help but freeze when I could see her face......
