Chapter 34: Rescue

Grandma Erniu looked at the two people who returned from Ping An, and without thinking, she knelt in front of Chu Han and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Thank you really, I really don't know how to live without Erniu. Your Chu family... are good people."

Chu Han and Chu's mother hurriedly pulled Erniu Milf up, and Erniu Milf pulled Erniu and said, "Kneel down for you Brother Chu."

Erniu knew what happened, but at this moment he didn't know how to express his emotions.

When Erniu heard his grandmother ask him to kneel down, he knelt on the ground without thinking. Although he didn't know what to say, he could tell from his eyes that there was a lot of gratitude.

Erniu understood, he understood, he just couldn't express it.

"Okay, get up, it's a small matter." Chu Han pulled Erniu up from the ground and said with a smile to Erniu.

When everyone saw this scene, they smiled kindly, but when they looked at each other, they suddenly couldn't laugh.

Basically, all the tiled houses in the village were no longer visible, and they were completely washed away in this flood.

Everyone found out overnight that their home was gone.

It doesn’t matter if the disaster comes. At worst, it’s about post-disaster reconstruction. They rely on the yellow land to make a living. As long as the land is still there, they will not starve to death.

The land is still there, but the home is gone, the savings are gone, the finances are gone, and everything in the home is gone... Many people can't accept it, and they sit silently on the ground, their eyes are a little unconscious, and they don't know what to think.

Chu Han was dizzy and had no energy.

Chu's mother, who had been paying attention to her son, naturally discovered that she wanted to get some medicine for Chu Han, but the medicine was washed away with the flood in the tiled room. There was no boiler fire or stove around now, and there was not even food or drink. Chu's mother could only worry.

With such a big flood, it is impossible for the country to fail to respond. It is estimated that they will be rescued in no time.

Chu's mother guessed that as the country develops stronger and stronger, it is much more timely in dealing with disasters than the major earthquake in the 1970s.

It was only one night before the flood, and at 8 o'clock the next morning, the rescuers were already carrying the wooden boat and slowly slid over.

When rescuers found more than 40 people standing on the roof of a bungalow, they were all shocked.

"Stop being slow, get on the boat!" Zhou Peng pushed Chu Han and threw Chu Han and a few old men onto the boat.

Chu Han had no trace of ink. When the rescue ship appeared here, everyone knew that they must have been saved, but a small wooden boat would definitely not have many people, so they sent Chu Han and a few elderly and children who were already sick.

On the small wooden boat, the soldier at the bow asked curiously: "Why are there more than 40 people standing in your house?"

The soldier had just come from other villages. Most of the other villages were killed and injured, and more people could not be found, because the flood suddenly broke out in the middle of the night, and most people were sleeping and had not reacted at all, so they were washed away by the flood.

Grandma Yao pulled Chu Han and said to the soldier: "It's the Chu boy who called us one by one in the middle of the night and asked us to go to his house. He said there was a flood, and we didn't believe it. If he hadn't blocked the door and refused to let us leave, I guess we would have told us here."

The soldier looked at Chu Han, and his eyes immediately became respectful, and he asked, "Which school is from the young man? You saved forty people at once, which is a great contribution."

Chu Han just waved his hand and didn't want to talk much. His throat seemed to be inflamed and he felt very uncomfortable.

"He, he is the top scholar in our village. I heard that Tsinghua and Peking University are calling him to go to school. If it weren't for the Hongshui period, their family would have invited guests to dinner long ago." The speaker was Grandma Yao, and the unique squeals of the elderly made his voice reach the soldiers' ears very clearly.

The soldier said with some uncertainty: "Are you Chu Han?"

This time it was Chu Han's turn to be confused and said in confusion: "Do you know me?"

"I am from the Southern Anhui Military Region. According to the Education Bureau, our southern Anhui City has produced two top scorers. No, they are the top scorers in the province! One man is a woman, the woman is called Xia Chu, and the man is called Chu Han, you are Chu Han."

"Xia Chu and I... are both top scorers? I really didn't expect this... By the way, did you see Xia Chu when you came here? She is in Xiajiazhuang next door." Chu Han said anxiously.

Although many people are curious that Chu Han has scored a lot of points, now is not the time to ask. In fact, they can't find out why, because Chu Han himself doesn't know how many points he scored, so he didn't check it at all.

"A girl was indeed rescued in Xia Family Village. The girl's family was there, but I don't know if it was Xia Chu. It seemed to be a family at the entrance of the village." The soldier said again.

Chu Han breathed a sigh of relief again and then said, "Is there anyone who survived the surviving terrain?"

Seeing the soldiers' gaze that wanted to speak but stopped, Chu Han's heart was raised again.

"There were no people on the dike, but the area was wide and the water level did not rise when the dike broke, so there should be nothing to do with people around the dike." Finally, the soldier sorted out his words and told Chu Han.

Chu Han expressed his understanding and nodded.

The small wooden boat kept slid in the water, and it took me a long time to slide. Before that, the soldiers had already talked about Sanlizhuang on the intercom. When Chu Han and his friends walked towards the high place, all kinds of ships also came down from the high place, including those big and those small.

Of course, more ships are just walking towards the dike. The precipitation in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is still continuing, and the entire dike is still damaged. The huge water flow enters the village from the damaged dike, allowing the village to rise unlimitedly. If it continues like this, it may cause greater economic losses and personal safety. Therefore, more soldiers go to the dike to repair the dike. Only when the dike is repaired can the water completely retreat.

After leaving the low-lying area and finally stepping on the land, Chu Han felt really good for the first time.

Just as Chu Han was looking for acquaintances, a crisp voice sounded behind him: "Chu Han."

When he turned around, Xia Chu stood up from the tent. In the tent, Xia Chu's family, including the disgusting grandma, were all rescued safely.

Chu Han showed a smile in his solemn expression, and stepped forward and hugged Xia Chu tightly: "It's fine if you're fine."

Although it is a bit bad to hug someone’s daughter in front of the other party’s family, the excitement at this moment can only be relieved with a hug.

Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, but she did not break free, but just patted Chu Han's back gently and murmured: "So too."

As the rescue activities unfold, more and more people were rescued from the flood.

The water flow in some places is still very fast and it is difficult to rescue, but fortunately, they have never been abandoned by the state. Even if there is only one living person left in a village, the soldiers will give all their help.

More than 40 people in Sanli Village were all rescued. They were surrounded by a village. They didn't know how confused they would be tomorrow, but after seeing the situation in other villages in the shelter, they suddenly became grateful.
