Chapter 139: The Little Overlord in the Water
The thirty-first year of Guangxu is also the year 1905 of the Western calendar, which is called "Einstein's miracle year" in later generations.
The six papers he published in this year, Zhao Chuanxin could not understand even in later generations.
After leaving Tianjin, he did not return to Lugang Town, but continued south.
At the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, he arrived in Jiangsu.
The further south you go, the more developed the traffic becomes, and many railway lines have been opened.
After arriving in Jiangsu, he was hit by a torrential wind.
The first three tides, eighteen waters, blinking, did not reach the mouth.
This is a folk proverb that later spread through the streets and alleys.
On the third day of the first month of August, the streets and alleys of coastal cities were flooded in an instant due to heavy rains and typhoons.
On this night, Zhao Chuanxin was strolling, and the wind, rain, and tide came together.
He only remembered important things in history, and he didn't know that there would be natural disasters at this time.
Witness the thrilling scene of the water level being five or six feet above the sea pond.
The dwellings of hundreds of people were submerged.
He was also terrified, and when the flood hit, he turned on the Azure Ghost Armor and went up the river in the water.
A man with five children was waiting for death in despair when he saw a man's head pop out of the water.
"Adults, one person holds a child, covers your mouth and nose, and I'll take you out!"
No one moved, they were all scared silly.
Zhao Chuanxin repeated again, and this family reacted.
A woman with a child in her arms was carried into the water by Zhao Chuanxin.
He didn't dare to stay underwater for longer, so he got out of the house and quickly came out of the water.
The woman was choked and coughed, and the tide hit in waves, and Zhao Chuanxin just carried the two of them to the surface and walked forward.
Xingyue gave a general route, and finally found a high position and sent the woman up.
Wind and rain, at this time I can't use an umbrella, so I can only let the rain fall.
Zhao Chuanxin rescued all the family in one go, and then rushed to the next family.
After all, the strength of an individual is limited, and the underwater endurance of the Azure Ghost Armor can be said to be inexhaustible. But many people had already drowned by this time, and bodies were scattered everywhere in the water.
He tried his best, but in the end, he only saved more than 200 people.
I was already exhausted and collapsed.
Sitting on the roof, he gasped for breath.
Looking at the frightened crowd, he smiled bitterly and said, "The rain is not so heavy now, I'll find a sampan or a small boat and take you away first." ”
There was silent sobbing all around, and someone knelt down for Zhao Chuanxin on the roof.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't waste his strength to help, don't you know if you don't have that energy?
Again he found the boat in the harbor that had been overturned and submerged, and it took him a great deal of effort to get out of the water, and then he pushed it underwater.
"Leave your luggage and everything here, only carry valuable money, hurry on board, there are still people waiting for rescue."
Although he only rescued more than 200 people, many people survived and found high positions waiting for rescue.
At this time, the government is powerless to save it!
A woman did not let go of her burden: "These are all new clothes, and they cannot be thrown away." ”
Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "That's okay, you wait here and die with your clothes." Others came up. ”
A man pushed away the people around him: "I'll go first." ”
Zhao Chuanxin jumped up violently and pushed him into the water, so that he could be swept away.
He said coldly: "The old and weak women and children go first, and the men wait for the next wave." ”
The man didn't dare to fight this fierce man, so he had to climb ashore and hide aside, hugging his arms and shivering.
The woman with the revenge cried and finally dropped the burden.
Pushing the boat was even more hard work, and Zhao Chuanxin used his strength to eat milk that night and transported hundreds of people away.
Until dawn, I was directly tired and collapsed, and I couldn't get up at all.
Hundreds of people surrounded Zhao Chuanxin to protect him, silent, their eyes full of gratitude.
Zhao Chuanxin muttered: "I'll sleep for a while, you look at me and don't let the water sweep me away." ”
"Engong, go to sleep, I won't let the water sweep you away when I die."
"yes, I'm here to watch over you."
During Zhao Chuanxin's sleep, Jiangsu Governor Lu Yuanding organized manpower to provide disaster relief.
When they saw that there were hundreds of people gathered here, they came over curiously to ask.
When they learned that this person was lying on the ground, and after saving hundreds of people by himself, a group of officials were stunned!
"Who is this person's last name? Report it to me, and I'll take credit for him! ”
"Amazing, amazing!"
In the surging water, it is difficult for people to survive, who would have thought that there would be people who could save people with their bare hands?
And hundreds of people were saved.
With this courage, I'm afraid that Xiang Yu is alive is nothing more than that!
A servant exclaimed: "This man has gone to the battlefield, and it is estimated that he is also a fierce general of ten thousand enemies!" ”
When Zhao Chuanxin woke up, the people surrounding him were still there.
"Engong, this is the dry food left for you, you can eat some."
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the cake that blistered the blister, and shook his head dryly: "You can eat it yourself, I saw that many goods from the commercial port were washed away, and I guess I can find something to eat." ”
With that, he got up and got into the water.
The people watched Engong go into the water, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared more than ten meters away, and they were all shocked.
"Eun Gong is so watery!"
"No matter how good the water is, I'm afraid it can't be done so fast, right?"
"When I asked Engong about his name, he said that everyone else called him Archmage. Eun Gong will definitely spell! Otherwise, how could so many people be saved? ”
"This is a living bodhisattva!"
Zhao Chuanxin found a place where no one was, went ashore and opened a can, took out a slightly hard white flour steamed bun and ate it.
After eating and drinking, he took out his binoculars and looked around.
At this time, the tide is still fierce, but it is much worse than last night.
He saw some people in the yamen who were rocking in the water to save people, searching for survivors to get on the boat.
This is a coastal area, there are small boats on the sea and river, Zhao Chuanxin found an empty boat again, took out some food and utensils from the space, loaded the boat, and pushed it towards the rescued people.
"This is what I collected, everyone divides a point, don't grab it, everyone takes some, eat more if you don't have enough to eat, go to the neighborhood to see if there are any surviving people, and everyone should lend a hand to ensure their own safety."
After the things on the boat were emptied, Zhao Chuanxin pushed the boat into the water and rowed away into the distance.
He joined the rescuers at the yamen.
By this time, he had already gotten into the boat and rocked forward.
Together with these search and rescue personnel, wave after wave of rescuers.
One of the officials pointed to a house and exclaimed, "There's a child there." ”
Zhao Chuanxin looked over and saw a child with only half of his head above the water, and he was drowning in the water from time to time.
He seemed to be stepping on something that saved him.
The water was turbulent there, and the boat could not guarantee that it would come back even if it was rocking in the past, so the officials did not dare to step forward when they saw it, let alone go into the water to swim.
There are undercurrents everywhere here, and a careless person will be swept away.
Zhao Chuanxin said: "Come over and swing the oar, I'll save the child." ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he plunged into the water one by one.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the child and lifted him up.
The boy was half-floating in the water as if he were wading in the water, somewhat frightened, waving his hands in the air.
But it's very fast.
After a short time, they came to the boat.
The child struggled to climb onto the boat, only to realize that someone had been supporting him underwater.
Zhao Chuanxin showed his head and bared his teeth at him.
The officials shouted loudly!
Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "If there is something difficult to rescue, I will rescue it!" ”
