Chapter 45: Confident Chen Xiao
Along yesterday's embankment, Qin Yue walked for less than ten minutes before they saw the abandoned river dam.
Qiao Bing told Qin Yue that the river originally flowed through the four gates under the dam, but now the water level has risen due to the rain, and the original outline can no longer be seen.
"Where is the old dam?" Qin Yue asked.
"Here it is." Qiao Bing stomped his feet, walked forward five or six steps and stopped, "Come here." β
Qin Yue visually inspected it, and the distance was almost five meters, which was enough for the largest bus to pass through in terms of width.
But the problem now is that there is a difference of at least three meters from the embankment to the water surface, which is not enough for buses and their off-road vehicles to drive at all, let alone nearly one meter after the water level has receded.
Qiao Bing seemed to see Qin Yue's concern, she turned around and pointed to a clearing not far from the embankment, "Construction was going on there before the catastrophe, and now there is still an excavator parked, we have tried it without a problem, and we can dig a passage in half an hour after the water level recedes." β
Qin Yue nodded, "That's fine." β
Shen Kai shouted excitedly at this time, "I saw it!" See! β
Qin Yue hurriedly turned his head to look, and a stone pavement appeared on the river surface that was still integrated just now, and Qiao Bing suddenly became excited, "That's the old river dam!" β
The fat man looked at the old dam looming in the river, and said worriedly: "Can this thing be used after soaking underwater for so long?" β
Yao Aiguo's face also showed worry, "The water is quite urgent, if it falls, it will be troublesome." β
Qin Yue stared thoughtfully at the river and did not speak.
Qiao Bing said: "Since the river was diverted ten years ago, this old river dam has been flooded once a year, sometimes for a week, sometimes for half a month, but every time it falls, there are still cars left?" β
Yao Aiguo still said with a worried face: "Just because last year was okay doesn't mean it's okay this year......"
Qiao Bing fell silent when he heard this.
The fat man looked at Qiao Bing, walked up to Yao Aiguo, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I said Old Yao, according to your ideas, do we still have to build a bridge?" β
Yao Aiguo said anxiously: "You fat man, I'm not joking with you, this is a big matter of human life!" β
The fat man frowned, "Damn, being eaten by a living corpse is not a major matter of human life?" β
Yao Aiguo pushed his glasses and was about to open his mouth to refute, when Qin Yue stepped forward to interrupt him,
"Professor Yao, I understand what you mean, but this is our only chance at the moment, if we don't even dare to try, how will we go in the future?"
Yao Aiguo's face flushed, "Xiao Qin, I didn't mean that...... I, I listen to you. β
"Hehe," the fat man heard the music twice, and hugged Yao Aiguo's shoulder with his uninjured arm, "That's right, you have to obey the organization." β
The group then walked back, Qin Yue had been worrying about Xie Xuan and them, and kept looking at his watch along the way.
Back in the fish pond, Su Xue and Qiao Hongxia were sitting in front of the simple house chatting, and Xiao Zhuang was still looking at the water in a daze from his position last night.
Qin Yue looked at his watch again at this time, an hour and a half had passed, it stands to reason that Xie Xuan and they should have already returned, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and called again, but there was no response from the other end.
"Lost?" The fat man looked at Qin Yue suspiciously.
"I can't wait any longer," Qin Yue looked at his watch, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, "Fatty, you stay and watch the house, I'll go find them......"
Before the words fell, there was a sudden roar of a motor in the direction of the gate, and the fat man was immediately overjoyed when he heard the voice, "It's our car!" β
Then I saw a pickup truck drive in, followed by an off-road vehicle and a bus.
Seeing that Chen Xiao and the three of them walked out of their respective cars safe and sound, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"How? Everything is going well, right? Qin Yue stepped forward and asked.
"Originally, everything went well, but who knew that two little thieves with short eyes were killed by me halfway, and the other ran away." Chen Xiao said disappreδΈι¨ly.
"Brother Yue, you weren't there at the time, Brother Xiao is old and fierce, as soon as he saw that someone hijacked the car, he just got out of the car and did it, Shanzi and I didn't do it yet, the one who called the most fierce was directly killed by Brother Xiao with an axe, and the rest of the one was so frightened that he turned around and ran."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xiao with admiration on his face, He Shan did not speak beside him, but his eyes also flashed with light.
"Okay, buddy, you have to strike first to deal with this kind of person!" The fat man stepped forward and said, regardless of his previous suspicions.
"If I had a gun, the rest wouldn't be able to escape!" Chen Xiao patted his chest confidently.
Among the few people present, only Qin Yue did not speak, and at this moment, he frowned slightly, looking preoccupied.
Xie Xuan, who was good at worldliness, thought that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Brother Yue, what do you think?" When can we leave? β
Qin Yue reined in his thoughts when he heard this, and said, "The old river dam has already been revealed, and it will be done tomorrow at the latest." β
"Great!" Xie Xuan was overjoyed and looked back at Chen Xiao, "Brother Xiao, when you get to Longping, I will invite you and Brother Yue to drink!" β
The fat man frowned, "What about you fat man and me?" β
Xie Xuan smiled and patted the fat man's belly, "Brother has forgotten no one, and I don't dare to forget you, fat brother." β
Everyone else gathered around at this time, and everyone seemed excited to see the lost supplies and vehicles.
Qiao Hongxia, who had been worried about her son, kept asking Chen Xiao at this time.
Chen Xiao was smug at this time, and looked a little impatient after being interrupted by Qiao Hongxia, "Aren't you coming back, okay Mom, don't nag here." β
Qiao Bing knew Chen Xiao's temperament, pulled Qiao Hongxia over, and glanced at Chen Xiao angrily, "Auntie, he is also an adult, but he is not used to it." β
Qiao Hongxia sighed and patted Qiao Bing's hand.
Qin Yue looked at Su Xue at this time, "Divide half of our supplies, I have to do what I promised yesterday." β
Su Xue nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when Chen Xiao stopped her at this time, "Wait." β
Su Xue turned around for some reason, Chen Xiao looked at Qin Yue, "Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, since everyone has decided to go all the way, then what else do you have to share with each other, I think Nurse Su will keep it on your behalf." β
Su Xue looked at Qin Yue, Qin Yue looked at Qiao Bing and Qiao Hongxia again, Qiao Bing gave Chen Xiao a thumbs up, "Cousin, I've known you for so long, and today is the most gentleman!" β
Qiao Hongxia was also full of relief, and Chen Yao next to her also gave a thumbs up to Chen Xiao in Qiao Bing's appearance, "Brother, you are really a gentleman!" β
Chen Xiao turned the brim of his hat, "How old will your brother and I be?" β
Qiao Hongxia stepped forward and grabbed Su Xue's hand at this time, "Xiaoxue, Auntie has something to ask you, I hope you can agree." β
Su Xue smiled: "Auntie, you are too polite, just say it." β
Qiao Hongxia called Chen Yao to her side, "I want Yaoyao to follow you to study medicine, do you think it's okay?" β
"Of course," Su Xue readily agreed, and then looked at Chen Yao, "Are you willing to learn?" β
Chen Yao nodded excitedly, "I do." β
Su Xue smiled, "Studying medicine is very boring." β
Chen Yao shook her head vigorously, "I'm not afraid, when I learn, I can take care of my grandfather for my mother." β
Qiao Hongxia looked at her daughter with a relieved face, "My Yaoyao has grown up." β
Yao Aiguo raised his glasses and wiped his somewhat moist eyes, "Sister Qiao, I really envy you......"
Qiao Hongxia's eyes were also a little red, and looking at Yao Aiguo's appearance, she suddenly remembered something, "Professor Yao, if you don't dislike it, let Yaoyao recognize a goddaughter in front of you." β
Yao Aiguo hurriedly put on his glasses and looked at the mother and daughter with some surprise, "Really?" β
Qiao Hongxia looked at Chen Yao, "Yaoyao, are you willing?" β
Chen Yao pursed her lips and looked at her mother, then at Yao Aiguo, and nodded.
Qiao Hongxia said happily: "Come, Yaoyao, call godfather." β
Chen Yao looked at her mother with some embarrassment, and called Yao Aiguo's godfather in a voice that she couldn't even hear.
Yao Aiguo cried with joy, agreed vigorously, and carefully took out a cartoon watch wrapped in several layers of cloth from his arms, "Yaoyao, this watch was a birthday gift that your sister bought me when she was eight years old, and I have been carrying it with me for the past ten years, and now that your sister is gone, I will give it to you, I hope you can live in peace." β
Chen Yao glanced at her mother, Qiao Hongxia nodded, and Chen Yao took it cautiously, "I will definitely protect it." β
Yao Aiguo nodded with relief.
Shen Kai also seemed to think of his father, and secretly wiped his tears beside him.
Yao Aiguo stepped forward and touched his head distressedly, "Xiao Kai, you and Yaoyao will be my children in the future, and as long as I am alive, I will never let you be wronged." β
Shen Kai nodded with tears in his eyes.
The fat man touched his belly at this time, "I said that our goddaughter and godson have all recognized it, shouldn't we have a big meal to celebrate." β
Qiao Hongxia hurriedly wiped away the tears that had just flowed out again, "Yes, yes, yes, today I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to you to make a meal that I am best at." β
Seeing everyone's happy appearance, Qin Yue's heart was mixed, and he couldn't help but think of the two blurred faces that often appeared in his dreams......
