Some rescuers recovered from their discomfort and continued to search outside.
The temporary rescue headquarters headed by Dong Xuebin and Zhang Dongfang set up halfway up the mountain and built a temporary rain shelter.
"Secretary Dong, County Magistrate Zhang." A firefighter entered the shed.
"Is there any rescue news from all aspects?" Dong Xuebin looked at him and asked.
"One group did not find the missing teachers and students. The second group had already reached the top of the mountain and found nothing. They only found some fruit peels and snack packaging paper bags. Since it was not a large amount, it is not sure whether it was left by the students. It may be
They were paper bags thrown away by other tourists yesterday or in the morning." The firefighter said: "This means that we cannot be sure that the students have ever been to the top of the mountain, and there is no way to tighten the search scope."
Obviously bad news.
It has been almost four hours since we lost contact with the teachers and students in the mountain. It is now afternoon, and if this continues, it will really drag on into the evening.
Zhang Dongfang was at a loss.
Other cadres were also solemn.
"Continue the search." Dong Xuebin ordered: "Pay attention to all movements."
"Understood." The firefighter responded, turned around and went out.
Only Dong Xuebin was a little calmer inside. It wasn't that he believed that the rescuers could really find the teachers and students. He believed that the other party should be able to hear his voice. If the other party was really lost in the mountain, then Dong Xuebin's voice would also be heard.
It can help them find the direction and the way out. Even if there are obstacles and obstructions in the middle, the direction must be right. This can increase the hope of rescue. The fear now is that they have gone too far, if they go to the back mountain.
, there must be refraction and echo in sound propagation between mountain streams, so the direction may be wrong.
wait!
Dong Xuebin calmed down, and then took over the commanding task alone. He stood in the rain with an umbrella and directed the overall situation.
Zhang Dongfang originally wanted to conduct the command together, at least symbolically, but his heart had not fully recovered from being frightened by Dong Xuebin before, so he sat there and did not dare to move. He was very old and in poor health.
But he was not as good as the young people, and he was caught in the rain, so his condition was not very good.
Dong Xuebin saw it and said, "County Magistrate Zhang, let me help you down the mountain."
Zhang Dongfang waved his hand stubbornly. "No, I can still hold on."
Although he was slightly injured and could not leave the line of fire, a reporter from a newspaper clicked and took another photo of Zhang Dongfang. He took the photo of County Magistrate Zhang looking weak and tired.
This show is made.
Dong Xuebin shook his head in his heart and was too lazy to care about them.
But Meng Hanmei was watching anxiously. She was already from Dong Xuebin's camp, and she must have considered the interests of her own camp. County Magistrate Zhang was the first to go to the scene to direct the rescue. Her physical condition is so bad now
He still insists on working in the front-line rescue department. It will definitely make people feel different after it is posted to the media. But what about Dong Xuebin? Dong Xuebin has not been interviewed by media reporters since he came here. Meng Hanmei still heard about it when he first came here.
To say that Dong Xuebin told reporters not to cause trouble in front of the county's live broadcast camera, this means...maybe the officials at the agency level knew that Zhang Dongfang was putting on a show, and Dong Xuebin did not accept the interview. This is how he behaves, but ordinary people just
I don’t necessarily think so, at least the signal Dong Xuebin gave is not that clear.
Meng Hanmei feels that Dong Xuebin is still too stubborn and rigid. It doesn't matter if he puts on a show at this time. Everyone does it like this.
"Secretary." Meng Hanmei whispered.
"Turn out the lights! Shake back and forth! Huh? What's the matter, Director Meng?" Dong Xuebin gave instructions while looking sideways at Meng Hanmei.
Meng Hanmei said politely: "Reporters, are you..."
After hearing this, Dong Xuebin said without thinking: "Don't worry about them, save people first."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Meng Hanmei said nothing more.
Suddenly, an exciting voice came from the mountain, "I heard a voice! I heard a child's voice! On the mountain!"
"What?"
"Where is it?"
"Where are the people? Why can't they be seen?"
Everyone suddenly became confused and chattering.
Dong Xuebin also rushed out with an umbrella and said loudly: "Just be quiet for a while!"
After the previous voice, now every time everyone hears Dong Xuebin's voice, they tremble deep in their hearts. This is a conditioned reflex.
There was immediate silence here.
Then, the sounds coming from diagonally above the mountain became clearer and clearer.
"anyone there?"
"Save us!"
"We're here!"
Dong Xuebin determined the direction at a glance. Although he couldn't see the people with the naked eye, he could already identify the voices. They were all children's shouts, "Save people right away!" After saying that, he took the lead and strode up the mountain.
Needless to say, Dong Xuebin quickly gathered the rescuers. The rescuers who were still searching in other places also knew the direction of the children through the intercom and rushed over.
Finally, the first batch of rescue team members came into contact with the missing teachers and students above.
Dong Xuebin and Chang Lin were still rushing up, and Zhang Dongfang and other county cadres also forced themselves to follow, as well as a large group of reporters.
The intercom rang.
"We found someone!" the person over there said happily.
Dong Xuebin hurriedly asked: "How is the personnel situation?"
The man said: "We are all very tired. Many people can't walk. We are asking the teacher to count the number of people. There should be a lot of them. I heard that they were hiding in a cave to take shelter from the rain and got lost. Later, they heard that Secretary Dong
You called out, 'Where's the man?', and they followed the sound and came to look for rescue. If your voice hadn't pointed them in the right direction, it would have taken at least tomorrow for us to search for the location of the cave."
Dong Xuebin said: "Take good care of the children, we will be there soon!"
As soon as the intercom was cut off, Meng Hanmei exhaled, "Thank God!"
"I should thank Secretary Dong." Chang Lin gave a thumbs up, "Secretary Dong's voice... is so powerful, I'm really convinced."
Many cadres nearby laughed after hearing this.
Dong Xuebin was also in a good mood and made a rare joke, "I have had a loud voice since I was a child."
Zhang Dongfang cursed in his heart, shouting that I had a heart attack. Isn't that just a loud voice?
Gradually, the lights of the rescue team can be seen in the distance, and the physical strength of the people behind them is increasingly unable to keep up. After all, they are all government officials and office workers. They have been struggling in the heavy rain for so long. Dong Xuebin
After being frightened once, and now we have to climb the mountain for a long time, many people led by Zhang Dongfang couldn't hold on any longer. Not to mention them, many young men were also very tired and fell behind one after another.
Dong Xuebin was the only one who walked quickly, without even breathing.
Su Yan couldn't keep up either, panting and holding up the umbrella, and could only watch Dong Xuebin's back getting further and further away.
Dong Xuebin did not wait for them. Seeing that the direction of the light was getting closer, Dong Xuebin simply accelerated his pace. He climbed eight or nine meters in a few steps as if he were stepping on springs. Suddenly, the searchlight on a small open space on the side of a hillside pierced.
After catching Dong Xuebin's line of sight, he squinted his eyes to adjust. The next second, Dong Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief. He saw nearly a hundred teachers and students walking this way under heavy rain with the help of rescue team members.
"Secretary Dong!" The rescuers led by him immediately came forward.
Dong Xuebin asked: "Is everyone here? Are there any wounded?"
The man replied: "They are all here. There are some external injuries caused by falling, but they are not serious. The main reason is that a few students were soaked in the rain and some had high fevers. Some of the other students were not in good condition and were frightened."
.”
Dong Xuebin said: "Take people down the mountain, the ground is slippery, be sure to pay attention to the road and safety."
Nearly a hundred teachers and students were covered in mud and did not bring rain gear. They looked extremely embarrassed. Moreover, this number of people also made Dong Xuebin frown, because they simply did not have enough rescuers to treat people one-on-one.
I could only protect the surroundings and help the frightened teachers and students go down the mountain.
At this moment, Zhang Dongfang, Meng Hanmei and the others also came up.
Several people at the TV station were panting, but the camera still turned on the machine immediately. The signal could not be transmitted back here, but the first-hand content could be recorded first.
Zhang Dongfang was almost carried up by two people. When he saw the students, he looked very excited. He took his hands away from the two cadres next to him and strode forward, "Students, let you
If you are frightened, come down the mountain quickly, don’t be afraid, we are here!”
The camera also focused on Zhang Dongfang again.
Many female students cried. They had been worried and scared, and now they were finally saved. They couldn't stop crying.
Zhang Dongfang went up to comfort him.
Dong Xuebin also passed by, but he didn't say a single unnecessary word. He didn't comfort the students, nor did he care about the teacher. Instead, he stretched out his hand and stuffed the only umbrella in his hand into the hand of a female student.
It rains heavily.
Dong Xuebin was soaked almost instantly.
Secretary Su Yan was so frightened that she rushed forward to hold an umbrella for Dong Xuebin, "Secretary!"
Dong Xuebin pushed open his umbrella expressionlessly, "Don't worry about me, just protect the children and go down the mountain." After saying that, he looked at a teacher, "Where are the students with high fever? How many of them are there?"
When the female classroom member heard what others called Dong Xuebin and saw how others treated him, she didn't know who the person in front of her was. She immediately said nervously: "There are two serious ones, over there."
She pointed, and two weak and pale students, a man and a woman, appeared in Dong Xuebin's sight. Because the environment was very poor and there were not enough rescuers, everyone could only support each other and could not rely on stretchers to carry people.
, the two students were shaky and walked very hard.
"I understand." Without saying a word, Dong Xuebin took two steps forward and squeezed into the crowd of students. He stretched out his hands, one to the left and the other to the right, and pinched the two students with high fever under the creaking nest, like carrying chickens.
He turned away from the crowd and walked down the mountain.
The camera also captured this scene.
Everyone was dumbfounded. How can I rely on you to carry a plastic bag? So easy??
