Chapter 52 Saving People in the Flood
Fifty people led by Village Chief Qin quickly formed a rescue emergency team, and under the leadership of local village cadres, plunged into the torrent of rescue and disaster relief.
The floodwater rushed in front and directly knocked down the house opposite.
Uncle Li dragged the old and the young to the stone dam in the square and shouted loudly for help.
Uncle Li's son and daughter-in-law were in Guangdong this time, and they were rushing back as hard as they could because the TV reported that their village had been hit by a disaster, and everyone was working in the village to rescue them.
Village Chief Qin saw people in the square desperately shouting for help.
At this time, Village Chief Qin became uneasy and rushed into the rapid torrent.
A rushing river rushed directly over, carrying Village Chief Qin several feet away.
Ren Qiang and others formed a human wall to pull Village Chief Qin back.
Facing this rapid torrent, only by forming a human wall can the trapped people in the square be rescued.
Village Chief Qin and the others drove the assault boat over, but unfortunately the current was too strong and the assault boat could no longer move forward.
Village Chief Qin found a rope, shot the rope to the flagpole in the square with a gun, and asked the uncle to put the rope on. Village Chief Qin put on the pulley and slipped over.
It doesn't matter if one person goes there, it's gone in a few moments, but when he comes back, there are two people.
Village Chief Qin told Uncle Li and the others: "Everyone, please be patient. I will get these children over first, otherwise these children will be frightened."
Uncle Li told everyone: "Village Chief Qin will come to rescue everyone right away. Don't mess around at this time. A flood vortex can wash everyone away..."
Village Chief Qin picked up the two younger children, put them on his back with straps, put on the pulley, and slipped over.
After going back and forth more than a dozen times, Village Chief Qin could no longer support him. When Ren Qiang saw that the Village Chief was dying, his face turned very pale, and he immediately sent someone to help the Village Chief down.
Ren Qiang took a sip of mineral water, put on the pulley, and then went over to pick up all the remaining people.
The floodwaters are rising higher and higher, and are about to reach the waists of Uncle Li and the other adults. If they continue one by one, their lives will definitely be in danger.
When the hook was fired, Village Chief Qin made a quick decision: "Everyone is coming here on the rope, the flood has burst the embankment..."
Everyone started to jump over to this side on the rope. Just when Ren Qiang was approaching the shore, the rope broke...
Village Chief Qin rushed out and hugged Ren Qiang from the waist. Fortunately, Village Chief Qin had already put the rope around Ren Qiang's waist.
The two of them were pulled back in the raging flood. Village Chief Qin looked at the opposite side, and saw that the opposite side had turned into a vast ocean, and they were all submerged in the flood.
There are fifty-three people here. Village Chief Qin looked at the flood coming from the opposite side and told everyone: "Take adults and children and evacuate quickly. The sooner the better..."
There is no time to think too much. Time is life now. If you stay here for one minute less, you will be safer.
Everyone ran to higher ground as hard as they could. Village Chief Qin and the security guards rushed to the highest place each holding a child.
Look at the place where we just stayed, it is now a vast ocean.
For everyone's safety, everyone continued to run up the mountain, because the rain was still falling and the floods were rising. It was said that such a flood would never happen in a century.
Village Chief Qin and his party sent them to the resettlement site, made some instant noodles, ate a few mouthfuls, and then hurriedly went to rescue people.
After a few days, they all collapsed on the river embankment from exhaustion and fell asleep lying on the river embankment.
