Wang Ke and Uncle Dong Fangfang carried the lantern and sent Gu Maolin to the bottom of the back hillside.

Looking at the turbid flood, Wang Ke said: "Maolin, now you have a look at yours. Find the right path and be careful."

"I understand!" Gu Maolin wades into the water and disappears into the darkness.

The two of them stood in the rain, and finally the sound of water was gone, so they walked back.

"Boy, can your soldier deliver the letter?" asked Uncle Dong Fangfang, who was more worried.

"It must be, it must be." Wang Ke said firmly, but he had no idea. Now he is not afraid of darkness, coldness, deep water, or physical strength.

According to the current water level, you have to swim for at least a few kilometers, wade for a few kilometers, and then run, and you need to run for thirty kilometers in one breath. Is ten hours enough?

Gu Maolin, don’t let me, let our class look down on you!

More than two months ago, I was almost trapped by snow in Nanshao Village. Today I am still in Nanshao Village and trapped by floods again. Wang Ke wondered if he had an invasion with Nanshao Village.

"Boy, what should we do now?" Uncle Dong Fangfang asked again.

"Now we count the entire village to see if there are still people who have not come out; at the same time, we need to send extra duty to monitor the water conditions and prevent anyone from going back. In addition, we should pay attention to stocking up food and clean water. If the rain does not continue within three days, we should prepare for more days."

"Okay, I'll go find the village chief." Uncle Dong Fangfang said.

"Okay, I'll arrange the post." Wang Ke and Uncle Dong Fang broke up when they returned to school. They went to work on their own. By midnight, the flood had already arrived three meters at the gate of the primary school and were still rising. They could not see the situation in the dark village, but they could hear the wailing of small animals and domestic animals from time to time, and the sound of "thumping" collapses.

Few of the people who escaped from the village were sleepy. They all stood at the door of the primary school, watching the flood coming in the rain, listening to the sound of the collapse of their homes in the distance, each of them looked solemn, but powerless.

Now the hill where the primary school is located has become an isolated island and the last hope for the whole village. Although the water cannot come up, the food and drink of more than a thousand people instantly became a big problem. In the evacuation, several people brought more food. Except for the dozen black donkeys driven out by Dong Fangfang's family, almost all the animals of all sizes did not have time to bring them out, let alone someone fled with food.

It is already a blessing in disgrace for people to come out safely.

Wang Ke took out all the food from the "Pili Survey Team", but it was not enough for a meal. What should I eat for lunch tomorrow?

"If you don't work, kill the donkey and protect the others first." Uncle Dong Fangfang said that he didn't care about anything at this time. Apart from what he gave to Wang Ke, the remaining dozen donkeys could be held for at least one or two days.

"Uncle, this is not possible." Wang Ke looked at the group of donkeys squeezing behind him, but they had no food now, and the pile of grass in the primary school was not enough to eat.

Now the words have to be divided into two ends.

After the water in the valley forest, I almost cramped. The water in early spring is heart-wrenching and the bone-chilling cold.

No matter how good the water quality is, it is still difficult to implement in floods.

In the dark night, there was no swim for hundreds of meters, and the waves splashed in the water made him feel difficult to breathe. He felt his body sinking, his hands and feet slowly pausing, his head began to be confused, and his body drifted to one side with the water. This was not a good sign. He jumped up hard, choked and drank several sips of water one after another, and a spicy gus of his nose rushed straight into his forehead.

He woke up suddenly, and there was only one way to die when he sinks. He continued to swim forward desperately. He had the instinct to survive and the responsibility on his shoulders. While swimming, one foot suddenly touched the bottom. Although it was dark, his perspective eyes played a role, like infrared rays. He opened his eyes and looked under the water. He found that there was a road under the water. Looking at both sides of the road, half a piece of trees were exposed.

The water was still too deep, and there was no way to walk when he stood up. But he suddenly found that when his feet were on the ground, he jumped forward and rushed several meters against the rain on his head, which was faster than the one who swam. Finding this method immediately became much faster, one arched and one arched, and then walked several kilometers. The water was only waist-deep. The rain was still falling, and he began to wader forward with great strides.

Finally, the water only reached the calf. Gu Maolin started running, and he was completely unaware of the coldness. The rain poured on his body, and except for a little bit of feeling, his whole body was already numb. He ran forward mechanically. At this time, it had been nearly three hours before he got into the water.

There is only one thought in my mind: defend the barracks, defend the villages, defend the ammunition depots, defend the river cleaning office...

The rain on his head was still falling, and the rain on his feet fell to the ground, making a "crackling" sound. He shouted slogans in his mouth, cheering himself up. One, two, one, two, three, four, six, seven, one, two, three, four, six, seven. One, two, one, two, three, four, six, seven...

On the way, I heard the sound of my shoes when I was running with the sound of rain. At this speed, I could run at least eight kilometers per hour. But hunger and cold came in waves. The stomach also felt uncomfortable, cold sweat kept flowing on my head, my lips began to numb, and my chest felt suffocating from time to time.

Even if I was exhausted today, I had to send the letter. A voice kept ringing in my ears. "Gu Maolin, is it a hero or a coward? I, Wang Ke, are you watching you, don't embarrass me."

Gu Maolin estimated that he was still more than ten kilometers away from the camp. At this speed, he should be able to run to the place at 2 o'clock in the evening. But at this time, his throat sweetened and he spurted out of his mouth. Then he staggered under his feet, and he fell heavily to the ground with a "bang", and a mouthful of blood was ripped out of his face, and was soon washed away by the rain.

He was so tired that he lay on the ground, exhausted and wanted to sleep for a while, his eyes gradually closed, and the cold rain on his head and body was like a shower. In that moment, he suddenly woke up. If he fell asleep, it would be very dangerous and he must stand up.

Gu Maolin trembled and got up, his legs a little out of control, but he still stopped, calmed down and continued to move forward, slowly running again, with only one belief in his heart, perseverance, persistence!

Defend barracks, villages, ammunition depots, river cleaning offices...

I don't know how long it took, a black shadow appeared in front of me. It was an ammunition depot, and another kilometer. Gu Maolin's nose felt sour. He wanted to cry. Since he was born, he had never experienced such a life-and-death test. No one came from the water. He ran for nearly eight hours in one breath and ran forty kilometers. He didn't know when the shoes under his feet ran away, and his feet were scratched.

And he felt nothing, except for the "bang" heart in his chest, and his mind, he was numb.

"Who? Password! Stop!"

Gu Maolin finally heard the voice of the sentries in the army barracks, but he fell head-on into the rain.

When he woke up, he was already in the duty room of the headquarters. His body was covered with a quilt. But his hands and feet were cold, and a doctor was squatting there to deal with the wound on his feet.

"Who are you? Where did you come from, how did you wear a pair of trousers and vests?" asked the duty officer.

Gu Maolin struggled to stand up, but he was unable to stand up. "Report... Report to the leader, I am the artillery company in Xishan... Gu Maolin, a soldier who was on the business trip, I came to report the news. There was a major flood in Nanshao Village, which was coming to us. The ammunition depot and barracks... I need to prepare for flood control immediately."

When the duty officer heard this, he immediately became nervous, "Talk slowly, drink some boiled water and make it clear."

Gu Maolin received the water handed over by the staff on duty, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. After a few sips, the doctor on duty pushed a spoon of glucose to Gu Maolin at this time. Gu Maolin finally woke up. He quickly reported the flood in Nanshao Village and the flood situation he encountered along the way, and relayed the three opinions of the squad leader, quickly contacted the county government office to report the flood situation, and asked the relevant villages to evacuate quickly, including quickly notifying the river cleaning office and evacuating the construction machinery; quickly notifying the barracks and doing a good job in the security of the barracks, especially the ammunition depot, military supplies depot and armory; quickly rescued the 381 households besieged in the Gushan Mountain in Nanshao Village, a total of more than a thousand people. There was no drinking water, no food, and cold-proof clothes and tents.

When the staff officer on duty heard this, the cold sweat fell immediately. Regardless of the early morning, he immediately called Chief of Staff Bao and quickly reported the letter sent by Gu Maolin.

According to the instructions of the chief, the county government was notified as soon as possible and reported to the duty room of the division headquarters. At the same time, a company was urgently mobilized to build a dam more than one meter high around the ammunition depot, and at the same time, it was fully prepared for the flood control in the camp. In addition, the entire regiment entered the second-level combat readiness state and was ready to support local flood control at any time.

As for how to rescue Nanshao Village, this requires waiting for further clarification of instructions from the head of the division and division, and also requires assault boats and ships, otherwise they will not go up.

Although Gu Maolin's letter was delivered, the troops and Ding County were responding urgently. But Nanshao Village knew nothing. More than 300 households in Nanshao Village gathered in the primary school began to get anxious. When it was almost dawn in the morning, everyone found that the flood had already flooded two or three meters into the primary school. Looking into the village in the light rain, some people had disappeared, and most of them had less water and were about one meter deep, soaked in the water.

People's hearts suddenly became cold. They were trapped on this lonely mountain. I don't know when someone would come. I don't know how the flood would be? How is the home? God knows.

"Boy, what do we do now?" Uncle Dong Fangfang followed the village chief, the Youth League branch secretary and several village cadres, as well as the Section Chief Chang Gaofeng. It was this flood that made them gather together, and now they all came to find Wang Ke.

Wang Ke came over from the gate of the primary school. He walked and thought about what to do? More than a thousand people had little problem except for living, but they had food, drink, warmth and disease prevention.

Hearing Uncle Dong Fangfang’s question, Wang Ke replied: “Now we can only save ourselves. Can you solve the problem of water and disease prevention in uncle?”

"Yes, but I need to go back and get some alum and herbs."

"Village Chief, let's concentrate on eating and see if we can hold on for another day?"

The village chief shook his head in the light rain.

"Kill the donkey, kill my donkey, and you can't let the whole village starve to death here." Uncle Dong Fangfang said firmly, and suddenly he discovered something.
