"Let's not talk about it for now. It's raining anyway. I think you can't do any work tomorrow, so come to my house. I'll provide food and accommodation for the seven of you. If you want to work, you can help patrol the village and help with drainage.

"

Dong Pianfang saw that everyone looked sad, so he comforted everyone.

"Come on, let's go next door. We, the masters, will drink first. Today we have donkey blood sausage and grilled donkey faces. The kids are still frying and cooking some dishes!" Dong Pianfang greeted everyone.

, then walked to Wang Ke and said to him quietly. "Boy, I made you a bowl of donkey whip soup today. You have to make up for it."

Uncle Dong, what does this mean? Do you want to run all over the streets?

In fact, Dong’s folk prescription really doesn’t mean that. It does have the effect of aphrodisiac and kidney. But its function of strengthening muscles and bones, replenishing qi and blood, and enhancing human immunity is more powerful, and it can be eaten by both men and women. There is a folk proverb, a bowl of donkey

Whip soup can buy you three years of life.

This meal lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.

The rain didn't stop. Wang Ke walked to the door to take a breath, but unexpectedly found that the whole yard was full of water. He turned around and shouted: "Uncle Dong, the drainage in your yard is not very good. There is water all over the yard."

Where’s the standing water?”

"Impossible!" Dong Pianfang immediately stood up and came to the door, and was shocked when he saw it.

"Ah!" When Dong Pianfang saw this, he immediately threw off his shoes, jumped into the yard barefoot, stepped on the stagnant water, and opened the courtyard door. He saw that the road in front of the door had now formed a river, and the river water had flowed into the courtyard.

.

"What's going on?"

"Quick, dig the soil with a shovel and block the hospital door." Section Chief Chang also ran out and took off his shoes to help.

"Uncle Dong, this is not possible. Your courtyard walls will be damaged, as well as your house." Wang Ke said in shock.

"Yeah yeah."

Wang Ke rushed to the door and saw the small river in front of the door. The water flowed forward slowly and had cut every household in the village into isolated islands. There was a household opposite the door, which was in a low-lying area. There, they were using a washbasin to pour water outside.

Basin scoops water.

Although the villagers in this area have built their houses very high, they are all made of rammed earth and rocks, and the lower half of many houses are already soaked in water. Over time, it is inevitable that the courtyard walls and houses will collapse.

Section Chief Chang raised his head and looked at the sky, then at the water in front of the door. "Squad Leader Wang, maybe this village is in trouble."

Wang Ke already felt that the danger was coming. He remembered the issue he had just discussed with Uncle Dong before the meal. He said to Section Chief Chang Gaofeng who was standing near the courtyard gate: "Yes, Chief Chang. From the altitude of the map, it can be seen that

, the entire Xishan Mountain and the Juma River Plain are like a big step. Nanshao Village is on the innermost side of this step. The mountainous area to the west is nearly a hundred meters higher than the altitude of Nanshao Village, and from here it is all down.

It is a plain. The water washed down from a hundred meters upstream collects on the plain and then flows to the shallow Juma River. It has no time to flow down and will inevitably overflow along with the Juma River."

Hearing Wang Ke's words, Section Chief Chang Gaofeng nodded, "Squad Leader Wang, what suggestions do you have?"

Wang Ke suddenly remembered the scene before the meal. Every time he doubted his perception, but in the end he was ruthlessly verified.

"This village must be evacuated now. If the rain does not stop, or if the water in the western mountainous area continues to flow down in a few hours, Nanshao Village will inevitably be submerged in floods. We cannot wait any longer, and we must find the village chief immediately.

"At this point, Wang Ke turned to Dong Pianfang and said: "Uncle Dong, please quickly ask aunt to pack up the valuable things and prepare to evacuate. Evacuate to our primary school first, where the terrain is high and there are mountains behind it. In addition, Uncle Dong

, where is the village chief’s home? We have to find him.”

"I'll take you there. Wait for me." Dong Pianfang immediately ran back to the house, took two umbrellas, and asked his wife and daughter-in-law to quickly pack their things and drive all the donkeys to the elementary school. After the arrangements were made, he jumped directly In the water in front of the entrance, the river water has already submerged my thighs.

"Leave quickly!" Uncle Dong Pianfang realized that the situation was serious.

"Gu Maolin!"

"arrive!"

"You and Song Ruimin, along with two new recruits, will immediately help Uncle Dong's family move to our primary school. Niu Suozhu, follow Section Chief Chang and me to the village chief's house, and then we will meet at the primary school."

"yes!"

Wang Ke was the second one to jump into the river. Section Chief Chang and Niu Suozhu went into the water together. The deepest point was almost waist deep. They waded through the river and followed Dong Pianfang to the village chief's house. The village chief was as anxious as fever. The ant on the pot stood at the door of his yard, walking back and forth not knowing what to do.

Seeing Dong Pianfang wading over from a distance, he immediately shouted: "Old Dong, you came just in time, what should I do?"

Dong Pianfang ignored the pleasantries and immediately introduced Section Chief Chang Gaofeng and Wang Ke to the village chief.

"Village chief, we must notify the whole village to relocate. There can be no further delay. Once the flood peaks upstream comes down, the whole village will be annihilated." Wang Ke said.

"But the water is so cold that the elderly and children can't stand it. Will the rain stop soon?" The village chief was still hesitating.

"Village Chief, even if the rain stops and the water from the upper reaches comes down, it will be a big problem. You see, almost half of the houses in the village are already soaked in water. The houses cannot be submerged and it is very dangerous." Section Chief Chang said anxiously.

"I know this. Should we wait a little longer?" The village chief still had many concerns.

"Village chief, just listen to Section Chief Chang and Squad Leader Wang! Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If the rain doesn't stop and the flood peak comes down, you won't be able to leave if you want to! Life is more important than anything else." Dong Pianfang Anxious.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. The lives of young and old men are important." The village chief slapped his thigh and walked back to the house. What are you doing? There are loudspeakers there.

"Village chief, please quickly inform every household to bring valuables, cold-proof items and food, and move to the primary school. If your family has difficulties, organize young adults to help move."

"Okay! Comrade PLA, I listen to you."

"Niu Suozhu." Wang Ke turned around and called.

"arrive!"

"You rush back to the primary school immediately, open all the classrooms, and prepare to receive the villagers. In addition, you gather our things into one room and free up the room as much as possible. After our class arrives, you leave one person to help We must receive them and boil as much boiling water as possible at the same time. Let Gu Maolin lead the team for the other three comrades, and at the same time find as many young adults as possible, and rush to the village chief's house with them immediately to meet us."

"yes!"

This is the decision made before the war, and this is the courage that is revealed at the critical moment.

The section chief Chang Gaofeng next to him did not expect that Wang Ke in front of him completed the task with a "click".

At this time, the loudspeaker started to sound, and the village chief's voice came from the loudspeaker. "Every household, pay attention, every household, the heavy rain will not stop, and the flood peak will come soon. Please, young and old, pack your belongings at home and bring your clothes with you." Bring food and accommodation for the night, bring the big animals, lock the door, and move to the elementary school immediately. Don’t delay, life is more important than household items.”

The village chief said it three times in one breath, then lowered his voice and turned back to ask Wang Ke, "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, what else do you want me to say?"

"Ask the young adults in the village to evacuate their families and gather at your home immediately," Wang Ke said.

"What to do then?" asked the village chief.

"If you are asked to inform me, please inform me as soon as possible. Listen to Squad Leader Wang." Dong Pianfang saw the village chief's verbosity and immediately became anxious again.

"After notifying them to come, we divided into groups and checked each household to see if any others had been transferred. We must not leave any household behind."

"Okay, I'll get on the loudspeaker right now." The village chief turned on the loudspeaker and started talking again. "Attention, young men in the whole village. Attention, young men in the whole village, if your family has been transferred, gather at my house immediately. There is an emergency.

Mission, urgent mission!"

Three more times in a row. The village chief turned off the loudspeaker and went back to arrange the transfer of his family.

"Chief Chang, it seems we have to act separately." Wang Ke said with a serious expression. He already felt that a huge risk was coming.

"Squad leader Wang, say it! We listen to you." At this critical moment, Chang Gaofeng still felt inferior to Wang Ke in killing and decisiveness. At this time, the village chief also came over and listened to Wang Ke's words.

"Chief Chang, you and Uncle Dong will lead a team, the village chief will lead a level, and I will lead a team. We will search from west to east, along three roads, all the way to the primary school, trying not to miss a single household, and see if there is any transfer.

Yes, mobilize, no! You have to memorize these people even if you have to memorize them. Village chief, how many households are there in our village?"

"A total of three hundred and eighty-one households."

"It's not bad! According to the speed at which the water is rising, I estimate that we only have an hour and a half at most. After an hour and a half, our three groups and all the fellow villagers must evacuate without losing a single life."

At this time, everyone discovered that the water in the village chief's small yard had reached his ankles, and the water was rising really fast.

At this time, three or four young people had come to the yard. Wang Ke asked: "Are there any village cadres?"

A young man raised his hand and said, "I am the Communist Youth League Secretary."

"Okay, the four of you follow me. Let's go to the northernmost road. Take the second group of people, Uncle Dong and Section Chief Chang, and the village chief will take the last group of people."

"Okay." Everyone agreed, and Wang Ke quickly jumped into the river in front of the village chief's house with the four party secretaries, and headed towards the north of the village with the water almost up to their waists.

An hour later, the three groups finally met at the elementary school.

They cleared out a total of 11 households that were unwilling to evacuate or had difficulty evacuating, and evacuated nearly 30 people. At this time, the heavy rain was pouring. Looking back at Nanshao Village, every household had been submerged by more than one meter in water. In front of the door

The river is already almost two meters deep, and the current is getting faster and faster. If you think about it again at this time, it is almost impossible.

Standing in front of the primary school gate on the hillside, Wang Ke felt heavy. If this trend was followed, the entire Nanshao Village would be submerged in floods in the middle of the night, and heavy losses could no longer be avoided.

The scene did reappear, but it was still not as serious as what I perceived.

"Squad Leader Wang of the People's Liberation Army, on behalf of all the young and old men in the village, I have to thank you. If it weren't for your decisiveness, people in our village would definitely have died." The village chief stood beside him and kept thanking Wang Ke.

But Wang Ke's heart is no longer here at all. There is nothing going on in this elementary school, and a few rooms behind him have already lit up lanterns. What Wang Ke is most worried about at this time is that the flood may affect the downstream. I don't know if the troops...

Suddenly, he was shocked. The troops didn't know that there was a flash flood here. If the water surges, the barracks, ah, there are ammunition depots, semi-underground ammunition depots! There are also construction machinery to clear the river. They must report the news and get ahead of the flood.

!

"Village Chief, can we still make calls to our village's phone number?"

"Squad Leader Wang of the People's Liberation Army, the electricity is out, where is the phone?"

"Gu Maolin."

"arrive!"

"I ordered you to complete a difficult task, can you complete it?"

"Squad leader, please tell me quickly."

"Go to the barracks and report the news! Save the barracks, the construction machinery, and the ammunition depot. We also need to notify the county to do a good job in flood control and discharge on both sides of the Juma River, and at the same time rescue Nanshao Village."

"Yes, how do I leave?"

"Go from behind the mountain and swim out of the village. When you get to the road, you have to run and try to deliver the letter tomorrow morning before the flood!" The reason why Wang Ke asked Gu Maolin to go was not only because he knew how to swim, but also because of his eyes.

Seeing in the dark.

"No, comrades from the People's Liberation Army, you can't go. How can he get out in this vast dark night?" The village chief and Section Chief Chang were both shocked. Although it is spring, the temperature is still very low. If you swim in it, you will freeze to death.

.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task."

After saying that, Gu Maolin began to take off his clothes, took off his hat, and exposed his bald head. Finally, he only wore a vest, a pair of underpants and a pair of liberation shoes on his feet. Life or death was uncertain, and even if he swam there, he still had to run a marathon.
