Wang Tianxiao struggled to drag Cao Shuang to the edge of the kang, and when he and Wang Tianyi carried it, they found it was still very difficult to carry.
People who didn't realize it at first, their bodies are like falling apart, without any bones, and there is no fixed strength at all.
So it is very difficult to lift.
Anyone who has ever helped someone so drunk knows this.
Right now, Cao Shuang is not only drunk, but also has a strong and slippery body. It is really not easy to lift him up.
The two brothers are also considered to be strong, tall young men.
It took a lot of effort to drag and carry Cao Shuang to the entrance of the roadway.
It turned out to be a bit weak in succession.
But there is no way, because the surrounding water is saturated, so although the rain has decreased a lot, the water level in the pit yard has not dropped, but is still slowly rising.
Since it has exceeded the range of the kang, everyone on the kang is already in danger.
The two of them came to the second room again, which I remember was Cao Hong's house.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I was about to repeat the same mistakes and kicked the door, when I heard Cao Hong shouting from inside: "Mom and Dad, brother, help me open the door quickly, there is a flood."
Wang Tianxiao felt relieved now, as long as this guy is still awake.
The water level is only a little higher than the kang. If people stand on the kang, there should be no problem. If they can still be submerged, the water can only flood the entire cave entrance.
This situation should not happen for a while.
It’s just that they are all young men. When problems arise, they don’t know how to save themselves, and they are still waiting for their parents to save them.
It's really a bit like a mother's baby.
This is similar to his last performance in the previous life.
In the previous life, when this guy finally grew up, he sucked up his mother, and when he had a wife, he kicked her out of the house, and even beat and scolded her.
According to abduction Qiaodan would often sit madly at the intersection and cry, seeing people would say that their children were not filial, regardless of him, everyone felt a little sympathetic at first, but after a long time, it became annoying.
attributed her misfortune to not educating her children well.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
"Cao Hong, wait a minute, let's find a way."
Wang Tianxiao shouted inside, signaling him not to panic.
In fact, the pressure inside and outside the water is about the same. To destroy the door, the difficulty of inside and outside is almost the same.
Even, the inside is a little simpler.
Hearing Cao Hong's hopeless appearance, he might have been scared out of his wits and wouldn't try to save himself.
"Who's out there?"
"I am your Tianxiao Ye."
"Ah, Lord Tianxiao, quickly open the door for me, I can't open the door anymore, where is there such a flood here?"
"It rained heavily in the middle of the night, and you can sleep like this, it's outrageous." Wang Tianxiao was really speechless to this family. Fortunately, they came. If it weren't for them, it would look like something really big. .
It’s no wonder that so many people died on this night in the previous life.
It turns out that after someone really falls asleep, they don’t know anything, and they sleep deader than a pig.
"Tianyi, come and find a way to kick this door open. I'll go and see the Da Neng couple. I haven't heard anything yet, and I don't know what happened."
"Okay, second brother, this thief is awake. Standing on the kang should be fine. I don't think the water level will rise too fast. It's almost sunny today."
Wang Tianyi looked up at the sky. Although it was still raining lightly, it was no longer the same size as before.
While the water level has not dropped immediately, it has not increased rapidly either.
Wang Tianxiao came to the cave entrance of Wang Daneng and his wife, slammed on the door and shouted a few times.
There is no answer in it.
Looking lifeless.
He was secretly worried, and wondered if the two had passed out like Cao Shuang.
If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be bad luck.
In Cao Shuang's room just now, you can clearly see that the water level is a bit higher than the kang.
Being anxious, he moved a lot more.
Fortunately, Cao Daneng's family was an old broken door, and was soon kicked to pieces by him.
But he went in and took a look, and found that there was no one in the cave.
This confuses him.
In the middle of the night, where did no one go?
Is it in the tofu workshop?
It is possible to make tofu in the middle of the night. If you want to do it, you just wake up now. It won't be in it in the first half of the night.
Besides, even if it is making tofu, it is impossible for him to just sleep like this.
You should be sober.
At this time, Cao Hong was also rescued by Wang Tianyi.
"Where are your parents?"
Wang Tianxiao asked Cao Hong.
Cao Hong said he didn't know either.
It was still there when I was sleeping, but when I slept in the middle of the night, the person disappeared.
Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi looked at each other.
They were all confused.
This family, how could it be more outrageous than them.
"Hurry up and look around, see where the person has gone, and where will he not faint?"
Wang Tianxiao hurriedly shouted.
"Eh."
The three of them searched around separately.
Because the water level was too deep, it was a mess.
Wang Tianxiao was particularly worried about falling into the seepage pit of their house, so he told Cao Hong to walk along the wall. If he fell into the seepage pit, he would be truly exhausted.
Brothers Wang Tianxiao are from the north and they can't swim.
The tires in your waist can only ensure that you don't sink, but you can't even think about saving people.
After touching for another ten minutes, Cao Hong suddenly shouted: "Here, I found my father."
"where?"
"This... this corner, the northwest corner."
Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi followed the location of the voice and found that Cao Hong was supporting Cao Daneng, who was on the soft foot, with both hands, struggling to support him.
"How is he?" Wang Tianxiao asked hastily.
"I don't know, there is no sound."
"Send people up first and then watch."
Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi helped Cao Hong drag Cao Daneng up the lane and put him beside Cao Shuang.
At this time, Cao Shuang was out of danger, but he was still in a daze. It seemed that he would not sober up for a while.
Really stupid people have stupid blessings.
Wang Daxiao put Cao Daneng flat on the ground, and found that the old man was not wearing pants.
I remember that he had some kind of blood pressure disease. I don’t know if it was because when he squatted down to go to the toilet, he fainted in the water without paying attention.
Sure enough, when I touched his breath, it was cold.
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Hastily untied Cao Daneng's clothes, put his ears on his heart, but he still didn't hear the sound of his heart beating.
He froze.
This is impossible.
This man...how could he be dead now.
Obviously in her previous life, she was the last to suffer from dementia and fell to the pit yard to die.
There are more than ten years before his death.
Didn't drown.
"How is my dad?"
Cao Hong, that idiot, doesn't know yet, and his tone changes, like asking what's for dinner tonight.
Wang Tianxiao shook his head at Wang Tianyi in the dark, stood up and said, "Let's go down and see Qiaodan."
"Ah, my dad..."
Wang Tianxiao didn't speak.
People have to learn to grow up slowly.
Perhaps, this was the night Cao Hong grew up.
I haven't found Guaiguai Qiaodan yet, I don't know if it's down there, if so, it's probably bad luck.
With this level of water and her stature, she must be hopeless.
Sure enough, the two continued to search everywhere, even the tofu shop, but there was still no result.
Didn't find her at all.
"Could it be that he fell into a seepage pit?" Wang Tianxiao asked worriedly, wiping the rainwater off his face.
"I don't know, let's go to the next one," Wang Tianxiao shook his head, "That's all here, the rest is out of our control, and we are not a professional rescue team. You can only bear it yourself."
"All right."
The two walked up to the pit yard, Cao Hong was still shaking his father.
On one side is Wang Tianxin who bowed his head and said nothing.
"Let's go, Tianxin, let's go to Liuda's house."
Wang Tianxiao called out to his youngest brother.
Presumably Wang Tianxin already knew what happened here, so his mood was a little low.
Perhaps, this kind of father's death reminded him of himself.
He has never met his father. From the moment he was sensible, his father was a virtual character who lived in the mouths of his mother and brothers and sisters.
He can only restore the image of his own father through the appearance of other people's fathers.
Otherwise, there is really nothing to be seen with the only black and white photo.
He silently followed behind his two elder brothers, looking back at Cao Hong from time to time.
Then, following the figures of the two elder brothers, he left the Cao family.
At this moment, the sixteen-year-old boy also understood a lot.
It suddenly occurred to him that the second brother silently brought him up little by little in the absence of his father, taking on many responsibilities that should have been borne by his father. He must have worked very hard.
Second brother, he is only twenty-six years old this year.
He stepped up and followed the second brother closely, looking at the second brother from the side.
The sky has slowly turned bright, and Wei Wei can see the outline of the second brother. In the light rain, his eyes seem to look further away through the rain curtain.
There is no intention of stopping at all.
Wang Tianxin thought of the generals in the storybooks, and his brother seems to have that kind of temperament now.
makes him feel extra secure.
As if following him, you can go to the dragon's lake and the tiger's den at will.
Ranked sixth in the big family, so the juniors in the family call him the sixth uncle.
Uncle Liu has four daughters and a son. The daughters are all married, and the son is still young. He is only one or two years older than Wang Xiaozhu.
In this case, it is estimated that it will be difficult.
When the three of them arrived, they found that the younger brother of the sixth uncle's family had already gone to bed in the pit yard.
But there was no sign of Uncle Six and Aunt Six.
"Goofy, where are your parents?"
"It's still down there, second brother."
"Why are you still down here, the water is so big?"
"The mule won't come up."
"Mule?!"
Wang Tianxiao then remembered that the Sixth Uncle's family had a horse mule.
He was about to say that the mule would not come up, and the man would come up first. Could it be that the life of the mule is more important than the life of a man? !
But the words came to his lips, but he didn't say them.
In this case, it doesn't taste like minced meat.
A mule can be sold for hundreds of dollars, which is the entire family property of the sixth uncle's family. If the mule is injured, their family will return to before liberation.
This is simply their lifeblood, how could they be willing to give up.
well.
"Tianxin, you stay up there with Gouwa, Tianyi, you come down with me, no matter what, get the two old people up first. Regarding the mule, pull it if you can, and forget it if you can't."
"good."
Wang Tianxiao looked at the foggy alleyway, took a deep breath, and groped down with his brother.
The alleyway of the underground courtyard of Uncle Liu’s house is much steeper than that of Wang Tianxiao’s house.
The construction of this kind of roadway still depends on the specific terrain.
If there are many places at the entrance of the roadway, such as your own field, or a place where you don’t interfere with others, you can make the **** of the roadway smaller.
It’s like Uncle Liu’s house. Their alley entrance directly faces the main road. It’s impossible to destroy the road, so we can only make the **** of the alleyway steeper to shorten the distance of the alleyway.
Such an alleyway is fine on weekdays, but in such an extreme situation, it becomes a serious problem.
Facing the overflowing flood, the resistance was too great, and it was difficult for people to get up from the pit yard, let alone pull the mules.
"After going down, be careful, the water is so big, don't be washed into the seepage pit."
Wang Tianxiao went downstairs only to discover the problem in the alleyway, and reminded Wang Tianyi in advance.
Out of the pit yard from the entrance of the roadway, because the water flow suddenly has no resistance on both sides, just like flood discharge, the speed will suddenly increase, and the impact force will also increase greatly.
In addition, after entering the door from the entrance of the alley, the last small section of the landing **** is even steeper and steeper. If one is not careful, people can easily be rushed to the side.
Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the door, a huge force rushed them forward quickly.
Wang Tianyi slipped and fell into the water, and was immediately choked out of breath.
Wang Tianxiao was already prepared, so he had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the door frame next to him, and grabbed his brother's hand with the other hand, grabbing it hard.
"Tianyi, don't use force, stand up slowly along the water flow. You have tires tied to your body, so you won't sink, just don't panic."
Under the encouragement of Wang Tianxiao, Wang Tianyi gradually stabilized his mentality and finally regained his stature.
But I still drank some water and went in, coughing continuously.
The two made slight adjustments, then slowly groped the wall together and continued until they came to the pit yard of Uncle Liu's house.
Although the rain has not completely stopped, the sky is slowly getting brighter.
In the dimness, Wang Tianxiao saw someone in the southwest corner, so he and Wang Tianxiao approached, and sure enough, they found that it was Uncle Six, who was standing on the ground in a daze, motionless.
Because of the limited height, this pit yard is close to the main road, and there is a lot of water coming down, so the water almost flooded the sixth uncle's neck.
If the water level continues to rise, it may drown his mouth and nose.
But he didn't seem to respond, just staring blankly ahead.
"Uncle Six?"
"Uncle Six?"
Wang Tianxiao walked over with difficulty, shook Uncle Six, and shouted twice.
Uncle Liu still responded.
"Where is my sixth aunt?"
"It's in the water."
"In the water?!"
Wang Tianxiao looked around, there was water everywhere, and he really couldn't see where Aunt Six was.
"where?"
"Say it quickly, Uncle Six, tell us so we can help you save people."
"Right in the pit."
Uncle Liu raised his finger and pointed in front of him.
Wang Tianxiao looked over with his fingers obediently, slightly dazed, his brain buzzing.
The pit mentioned by Uncle Liu is a seepage pit.
Maybe Wang Tianxiao got used to the light here, or maybe it was finally dawn, and he suddenly found a mule's head floating in the seepage pit.
Only the mule has also been drowned.
Wang Tianxiao made a decisive decision, directly untied the rope around his waist, tied one end to the window lattice, tied several fast knots in a row, and made sure there was no problem, then said to Wang Tianyi: "Tianyi, I'll go down and try to fish it. Pull me every second or so."
Wang Tianxiao can't swim, so he has never practiced holding his breath.
He remembered that he fell into the glacial river in his previous life, and he could probably hold it for tens of seconds.
So just give it a try.
"Second brother, this can go down, you still don't want it, such deep water!" Wang Tianyi looked at the puddle worriedly, and didn't want Wang Tianxiao to go down, it was too dangerous.
"Maybe the sixth aunt can still be saved." Wang Tianxiao patted his brother on the shoulder, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's forget it if we don't encounter it. After all, we are not gods, but if we encounter it, don't try it. , you will regret it forever.”
After finishing speaking, Wang Tianxiao slowly tried to get to the edge of the seepage pit with his feet, and slipped in holding his breath.
When I first entered, I couldn’t see anything in front of my eyes.
The flood on the Loess Plateau is like this. It is basically mixed with soil, and the visibility to the naked eye is almost zero.
After he got in, he could only **** around.
Stepping on the side of the seepage pit.
The seepage pit is not a round pit, strictly speaking, it is more like a cone.
From top to bottom, the bottom of the pit will become smaller and smaller, mainly for the convenience of water gathering.
If it is not raining heavily, the accumulated water can be used to wash things, or feed a livestock and poultry or something.
After all, it doesn’t rain a few times in Qingcheng throughout the year.
The conical deep pit is easy to go down and difficult to go up. Once you fall into it, you can’t exert force around it, and because the pressure on the top is pressed to the bottom, the force-bearing area is too small, making it even more difficult to go up.
It looks like a funnel.
As soon as Wang Tianxiao went down, he immediately touched the mule's body.
The seepage pit with a total diameter of three to four meters was occupied by mule corpses.
After going down, he couldn't see anything, so he could only **** around.
Before he could touch anything, he was dragged up by Wang Tianyi.
I had to adjust slightly and dive in again.
After touching it for the third time, I finally touched Aunt Six's clothes. I hurriedly grabbed the clothes and slowly pulled them up with Wang Tianyi's help.
Uncle Six was very excited when he saw Aunt Six coming up. Wang Tianxiao stopped him, carried Aunt Six and walked up.
When going up, I encountered another problem at the entrance of the roadway.
It is fast and easy when going down a steep slope, but it becomes difficult when turning your head up.
Fortunately, the sixth aunt is very short and thin, weighing less than seventy catties in total, and with the buoyancy of water, she doesn't feel too tired when holding her.
At least it was much easier than the Cao family.
When he walked up with Aunt Six in his arms, he could still feel Aunt Six's heartbeat, so he hurried up to imitate the posture he saw on TV in his previous life to help Aunt Six get rid of her nausea.
A few minutes later, Aunt Six suddenly spit out a lot of water, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes.
Wang Tianxiao just felt very tired and sat down on the water floor.
Looking at the excited sixth uncle, he finally felt a stone fall in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.
Finally saved a person.
It is estimated that because the sixth aunt is relatively light and blocked by the mule's body, it didn't take long for her to sink below, so she sucked much less water into her body, and she survived by luck.
Wang Tianxin and Wang Tianyi were also sincerely happy to see the sixth aunt waking up.
The feeling of helping and saving other people's lives is really satisfying.
Both brothers can also feel the joy from the bottom of their hearts.
By this time, it was dawn.
Looking at the whole village, there are many more people on the main road, and there are many panic-looking people gathered at the door of each house.
Everyone’s clothes are all soaked
There are very few belongings around me.
Except for a few people who have a little bit, many families only have a few boxes with some bags of grain on them.
There are still many people around something, crying out in pain.
I don’t know if someone died in the family.
Wang Tianxiao struggled to stand up, and saw Wang Dabao with a painful face. '
When he saw Wang Tianxiao, his face was full of shame, his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't know what to say, he just walked over silently and sighed.
Wang Tianxiao rubbed his stiff face, and said to Wang Dabao: "Brother Dabao, now is not the time to be discouraged, we must divide up several groups of people quickly, check the situation of each family, and see if there are still people who did not come up from the bottom, and those who came up , If you are injured, you must quickly organize people to send to the hospital.
Since something has happened, it doesn't help if you are so upset now. This night's disaster, everyone panicked and confused. If you are like this, then everyone has lost their backbone. The more this time, the more you can't give up. "
Wang Dabao was stunned, and then he realized that he subconsciously asked, "Then what should I do?"
Wang Tianxiao looked at this middle-aged man who was usually paying attention, and knew that he was really frightened by the situation in front of him.
No way, he had no choice but to drag Wang Dabao to explain the specific method.
And asked Wang Dabao to inform everyone through the loudspeaker that if the whole family is on it, they must not go down until the water level has receded to the point where the seepage pit is fully exposed.
The location of the seepage pits of many people is not very good. It is just a little bit away from the bottom of the roadway. If you go down quickly, you may slide directly into the seepage pit.
At this time, property is far less important than human life.
Similarly, if anyone needs to be taken to the hospital, immediately join the team, and everyone will work together.
Wang Tianxiao specially asked Wang Dabao to tell everyone that in the face of a disaster, everyone should work together, help each other, and try to save people as the most important thing.
Wealth is gone, and we can have it again, but if a person dies, then there is really nothing.
After thinking about it, he decided to bleed again, and specifically asked Wang Dabao to inform everyone that anyone who performed well during the rescue today could receive a certain amount of money from Wang Tianxiao to help complete the post-disaster reconstruction together.
Speaking of these, Wang Tianxiao felt that what he had to do was done.
A person's ability determines the situation. If he is just an ordinary person like before, then try to ensure the safety of his family. But now, since he has some abilities, he should do his best to help others in the face of this kind of disaster.
It's just in his nature.
Wang Tianxiao and his two younger brothers returned to the entrance of their kang courtyard, and saw that some of the things that had been placed on the wooden boards were washed away by the wind and rain, and floated to the big pit in front of the door.
Moreover, the walls above the original kang courtyard were all washed down.
There was originally a wall beside the big pit to prevent people from accidentally falling into the big pit while walking on the road, but it is gone now.
I never thought of writing a cold person, my protagonist, he is just a good person, I like the content of these chapters very much, so please don't talk about the Heart of Mary.
Who doesn’t want more kind and responsible people around us?
