Why would the provincial party committee's car follow them? Could it be that Dongyang was looking for her? Her heart skipped a beat, but she thought that Dongyang was so busy now. If he was looking for her, he would not fail to contact her.
"I don't know what kind of car it is? Don't worry about it, we can just go back." Meng Yudong said.
Song Yuanyuan nodded. She felt something was wrong, but she still said nothing.
After a while, they returned home, asked their mother to sleep in her room, and arranged for her to sleep well. Then Meng Yudong's phone rang.
"Teacher Meng..." The call came with a cry, "Teacher Meng, what should I do? My mother is also missing..."
When Meng Yudong heard that it was her student Chen Yan, she hurriedly said: "Chen Yan, don't be impatient. What did you say happened to your mother? Speak slowly."
"Today, many people in the village are going to the other side of the river, saying that they can bring my brother and father back. But everyone has come back, and my mother has not come back yet. I am scared, Teacher Meng, I am really scared. My father and brother have already
No, I'm really scared, I don't want to lose my mother again." Chen Yan cried while talking, feeling very pitiful.
"Chen Yan, don't be afraid, I will come right away." Dongdong said, and said to Song Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, please take care of my mother. I have to go to Nanxiang. Something happened to my student."
"Are you going alone?" Song Yuanyuan was worried, "How about you call and ask Toto to accompany you, or I can find someone to take you there."
"No, I'll just go by myself." Meng Yudong smiled at her, "I'll drive your car. Did you forget that I also got my driver's license? I'll call you if anything happens." As she said that, she was already there.
Go outside.
"Dongdong, do you know how to be careful?" Song Yuanyuan walked her to the door.
She nodded: "My mother is asking you to do it."
She drove to Nanxiang, which was the worst hit. The fertile fields as far as the eye could see turned into the ocean. Many villages were flooded, and many people salvaged bodies along the Weijiang River. Meng Yudong saw such a scene,
Somewhat unbearable.
Finally arriving at Chen Yan's village, the second group of villagers went out again. When she found Chen Yan, the little girl was sitting on the roadside looking at the river in the distance with a look of despair.
Meng Yudong went over and hugged her: "Chen Yan, don't be afraid, your mother will definitely come back."
Chen Yan calmed down and looked at her: "Teacher Meng, my mother has never come back. They said they couldn't find my brother and father. If my mother refuses to come back, does she not want me anymore?"
Meng Yudong's nose felt sour: "Chen Yan, your mother will not abandon you, you have to have confidence. Let's do this, you wait for me here, I will go find your mother."
Chen Yan was stunned: "Teacher Meng, I will go with you to find my mother."
Meng Yudong looked at Chen Yan's pale face, as if he was about to faint at any time, and she said: "Chen Yan, listen to me, wait for me here. I will definitely find your mother back, believe me, okay?"
good?"
Chen Yan nodded: "Teacher Meng..."
Meng Yudong said, let go of Chen Yan and set off with another group of people. These people drove their usual fishing boats to the river. The disaster in this area was too severe. The farmland and houses were destroyed. Everywhere they looked,
It was a wasteland. Meng Yudong looked sad. She asked where Chen Yan's mother had gone and wanted to take these people there.
"It's very difficult to recover the bodies. When it rained heavily two days ago, we didn't dare to go into the river at all. Many bodies were washed away, maybe to the Nanjiang River," said the man who drove the boat.
.
Meng Yudong's heart sank, and he felt sad.
Her phone also rang. When she saw it was Cheng Dongyang's call, she looked at the people and answered: "Hello?"
"Dongdong?" Cheng Dongyang's voice was a little low, "It might rain again in Jiangbei for a while. Don't go out and close the doors and windows, you know?"
As she was talking, she looked up at the sky. Dark clouds had come over for a while, and it might really rain.
"Teacher Meng, it's going to rain, we have to go back," the man driving the boat said.
"Dongdong, where are you?" Cheng Dongyang on the other end of the phone sensed something was wrong, "Where are you now?"
"I was in Nanxiang, and Chen Yan's mother didn't come back after following the body salvage, so I went to look for her." Meng Yudong had no choice but to tell the truth. She saw a shadow in the middle of the river over there, "Look what's there, it's
There's no ship there."
The fisherman who was driving the boat also saw it and said loudly: "There seems to be someone, and he is still calling for help. Let's go over." So he drove over at full speed.
Cheng Dongyang listened with horror: "Dongdong, listen to me, it's going to rain heavily now. The Weijiang River will definitely rise, and you will be in danger, do you know?"
"We'll go back soon. I, I'll hang up first. I'll call you when I get ashore." Meng Yudong said and had already hung up the phone.
When they arrived at the center of the river, there was indeed a fishing boat there. They ran out of gas and were forced to stop here. After the boat approached, four people on the boat came over. They found nothing and did not find Chen Yan's father and brother at all.
"Teacher Meng, why are you here?" Mother Chen was surprised to see Meng Yudong.
"Sister, Chen Yan is very worried about you. She has been waiting on the shore for you to return. She has lost her father and brother. You are her only relative. She cannot live without you." Meng Yudong took Chen's mother's hand and said
.
Mother Chen's eyes filled with tears: "Thank you, Teacher Meng."
These people quickly set off the boat, and sure enough, it started to thunder, and soon it started to rain again, and it became heavier and heavier.
"Everyone sat tight and we will soon reach the shore." The rain and river water came over, drowning the voice of the boatman.
Meng Yudong held Chen's mother in her arms. It rained heavily, and they were both drenched soon. Meng Yudong looked at the sky, and there was no light in the sky. She couldn't help praying to God, there were enough disasters here.
, just be tolerant to the people here!
"Teacher Meng, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you," Mother Chen said loudly in the rain.
"Don't say that, we will reach the shore soon." As they were talking, a wave from the river came over and almost overturned their boat. After it stabilized, the motor actually stopped starting, and their boat was pushed to the oil level.
"The motor won't start." The boatman also panicked. If this happened, they would have no choice but to wait here to die.
The rain showed no sign of stopping, and the boatman said as expected: "I have a spare oar below, let's row to the shore."
There were only two oars, and the stronger man rowed, while the others rowed with their hands. But the river became more and more fierce, and another big wave hit. Dongdong felt a vibration in her pocket, so she just touched one.
Her whole body flew up, and the next second she fell into the river.
Meng Yudong can swim a little bit, but now she only drinks water. She heard many people calling her name louder and louder, and she wanted to get out of the water.
On the other side, the riverside heard a louder motor sound, and it was Cheng Dongyang who was rushing over.
Cheng Dongyang came to Nanxiang in the morning to see the disaster. When he was about to leave, he called Meng Yudong. Knowing that she was here, and seeing that it was going to rain, he immediately asked someone to stop the car and found the nearby villagers.
, I asked them for the boat I usually used for fishing and brought it over.
He was glad that he came over. He saw Meng Yudong being knocked off the boat with his own eyes. At that moment, his heart stopped beating and he jumped into the river without thinking. He only had one thought, he could not let Dongdong leave him.
, absolutely not.
When he didn't see her shadow by the river, he was frightened and dived into the water to look for her. Seeing that she was about to sink little by little, he jumped over and hugged her waist, carrying her out.
River surface.
Meng Yudong choked hard, and the rain hit her face. She thought she had an illusion. Did she see it wrong? Dongyang actually appeared in front of her.
Cheng Dongyang put his arm around Dongdong's waist and swam toward the boat until he carried her aboard. He didn't care too much and gave her cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It wasn't until she spit out some water that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dongyang..." She really wasn't hallucinating, Dongyang actually appeared in front of her.
"Meng Yudong, you are so annoying. You can't swim but you still come to save people. Don't you want your life?" Cheng Dongyang held her in his arms and said angrily.
Meng Yudong smiled, it was really him, it was indeed him. She knew that he would appear every time when she was most helpless and needed him most.
Those people had already gone ashore. The rain here was getting heavier and heavier, and their boats could be tied to the shore. The road was blocked by water, and everyone piled up their trousers and walked over step by step.
Cheng Dongyang had to carry her on his back, with villagers leading the way, and there was water all the way. The rain was still falling, and no one could care about it hitting them. Meng Yudong lay on his back, and she could feel his
The body temperature was so warm and thick, she felt very safe.
She thought, in fact, it doesn't matter, even if this road continues like this, it doesn't matter. She feels at ease and feels happier than she has ever felt before.
They rushed to the nearby village. Cheng Zhenming was still waiting for him in the car. When he saw his son coming back with a woman on his back and looking embarrassed, his face darkened.
"Teacher Meng, you really brought my mother back." When she sat down, Chen Yan hugged her regardless of her wetness, "Thank you, Teacher Meng."
Meng Yudong smiled weakly: "As long as you are fine."
"This is our new secretary. It was the secretary who brought us back." A fisherman pointed at Cheng Dongyang loudly and said.
Everyone looked over and were very excited: "Secretary, our home is gone, everything is gone, you have to help us."
"Don't worry, everyone, cheer up. Let's rebuild our homes together." Cheng Dongyang stood up and encouraged the villagers, "The government will never abandon everyone. We will fight this disaster together. We are united and nothing can stop us."
Everyone was deeply encouraged and applauded with tears in their eyes. Meng Yudong sat next to her, tears welling up in her eyes, and she looked at him with great pride.
