Chapter 218 What kind of life is most meaningful?
The flood flooded most of the houses, and except for some taller small buildings and tiled houses in the village, they were all played in the water.
This puts high demands on driving a assault boat.
You can't be fast, otherwise once you hit a building or a telephone pole under the water, or even some debris, it will cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
Fortunately, Jiang Wenying was familiar with this area and guided the assault boat along the original village road and slowly drove into the village.
Suddenly, Zhuangyan saw a Mi-171 helicopter hovering in the distance, and vaguely saw orange-red life jackets stacked together falling from the cabin.
"Look at it!" Zhuang Yan pointed his hand and shouted: "Where there is a helicopter hover, someone must have been found trapped!"
"That's right!"
Seeing the helicopter, everyone started to get excited.
Huang Hanrui quickly ordered Qin Yanming to drive towards the helicopter position.
From afar, Jiang Wenying began to scream: "That is the home of my grandpas! That is their house!"
Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, this was the residence of her grandfathers who Jiang Wenying was nagging on the boat last night.
When the helicopter saw the assault boat, he knew that the trapped people here would be rescued soon, so he clicked the nose of the plane and flew away in another direction.
They must now seize the time to start searching the entire Paizhouhong area, calibrate the coordinates where people are trapped, and send the message back to the search and rescue troops on the ground.
A two-story brick building gradually appeared in sight, and there seemed to be a few figures on the roof.
"Grandpa! Second Grandpa! Third Grandpa!"
Jiang Wenying stood up in the assault boat excitedly and waved to the roof.
When the people on the roof saw Jiang Wenying, they also started shouting.
"Is it Yingzi?!"
"It's really her!"
"We're here! Come and save us!"
There seemed to be five or six people on the roof.
Jiang Wenying said to Zhuang Yan excitedly: "These are my grandfathers, Jiang Jude, Jiang Jucai and Jiang Jubao."
These three names sound like three brothers.
The boat leaned over, and Huang Hanrui threw the nylon rope on the boat over and asked the people on the roof to hold it.
"Come one by one, don't worry! How many people are there here!?"
"Six!" someone answered.
"No!" One of the old men in their seventies stretched out their hand and waited for the man, "Who said there were only six? It was seven!"
"Uncle II!" The person who was stared at looked like he was in his fifties and said with a bitter face: "That's not a human, it's a pig."
"It's right that it's a pig! But this is my lifeblood. I've been raising it for two years!" The old man was very stubborn, "This pig must be taken away, and I won't leave, I will not leave, I will accompany it!"
Jiang Wenying stood by the boat and slapped her thighs and said, "Oh! I said, Grandpa, when is it now? Do you still care about your pig!? It's good that people can be rescued! Come on the boat quickly, okay, just treat me begging you, don't be stubborn!"
The old man Jiang Jucai refused to give in and said, "You can don't want anything else, you must take the pig away!"
Huang Hanrui looked at his assault boat and thought that the big fat pig was at least more than 200 kilograms, which weighed the weight of two people.
Originally, the load capacity of the ship was not enough, so he could only get five people. If you take some risk and squeeze in, you might be able to get one more while the current flow is not too fast.
You can bring another fat pig with more than 200 kilograms...
This ship is about to overturn.
The Jiang family on the roof and Jiang Wenying on the boat were very polite, but they still said they were dissatisfied with Jiang Jucai.
If you continue to be so procrastinated, time will be delayed.
Zhuangyan felt that it would be impossible to rely on persuasion.
The elderly are just like children, a bit unreasonable.
He had an idea in his mind and wanted to discuss it with Wang Datong. He turned around and found that Wang Datong was also looking at him.
The two of them had a long time ago, and they nodded to each other.
Zhuang Yan said to Jiang Wenying: "Sister, we can't afford to spend time, so your second grandfather may have said he is dissatisfied."
Jiang Wenying blushed, feeling that it was really embarrassing that his second grandfather had a quarrel at this time.
So he quickly apologized: "Big brother, I'm really sorry."
He turned around and said to two of the men in their fifties: "Uncles, you have brought the second master on the boat. Now many people are trapped and waiting for the boat to help them. We can't make such a fuss!"
The two uncles quickly reached out to set up Jiang Jucai.
Jiang Jucai sat on the ground and began to yell, refusing to get on the boat.
When Huang Hanrui saw this situation, he quickly warned: "Be careful, don't fall into the water!"
"Don't pull it all!" Zhuangyan shouted, silenced everyone. He looked at everyone and said, "My comrades and I go to the roof. Three grandpas will get on the boat first. We and the other two uncles are waiting here. You will send us after you come back!"
"But..." Jiang Wenying remembered that Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong had been in the water for two hours. They had just escaped because of their grandfather...
"No need, but." Zhuangyan walked to the side of the boat and climbed onto the roof. Wang Datong then went up.
The two of them helped Jiang Wenying and his two uncles send the three old men onto the boat, and then worked together to push the fat pig with a weight of more than 200 kilograms into the assault boat.
"Okay, we'll wait here."
The assault boat began to turn around slowly.
Jiang Wenying stood by the boat, looking at the two soldiers who were soaked and covered with scars on their hands, and suddenly covered their mouths with their hands.
She was afraid that she could not help crying on the spot.
The second grandfather Jiang Jucai stroked his big fat pig, raised his head and waved to Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong with a smile.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong looked at each other again and could only smile bitterly.
Wang Datong said: "You said... we are not the first group of domestic animals to save even domestic animals?"
Zhuang Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't know either."
This time, the ship position was given to others again, and Zhuang Yan and Wang Datong did not encounter danger like the previous time.
After a night of raging flood, the flood gradually became quiet.
It rained all night and it stopped.
The morning light illuminated the entire Paizhou, and the country was in the sight.
The farmland is gone...
The house is gone...
There are no more crops...
The corpses of domestic animals floated on the water...
Among them, there are also people...
Since 1954, this is the highest water level in the history of the Qingzhou Bay in recent decades.
When Paizhou bends, the water in Wuhan fell three feet and three feet.
This is a folk proverb that has been circulated in the local area for many years ago.
It is said that the night when the Paizhou broke, the water level in Hankou dropped rapidly, and the flood control personnel responsible for monitoring were shocked because it was Hankou that broke the dam.
There was a serious flood here in 1996. At that time, the people in Paizhou all moved, but the dam did not break that year.
Perhaps it was because of the safety and safety of the transfer two years ago that caused the carelessness of 1998, which led to the heavy losses this time.
Sitting on the roof and looking at the vast ocean-like flood area around him, he felt a lot of emotion.
More than half a year ago, I absolutely wanted to break my head and would not have thought that I would sit here today, nor would I have thought that I would appear here to save people as a soldier.
Although last night, after he and Wang Datong were swept away by the flood, they thought they were going to die for a moment.
That's right.
Those who serve in the army will also be afraid of death.
Because humans are not cats, they do not have nine lives, and everyone has only one head and one life.
However, now he was not afraid at all, but was a little anxious.
He wanted to come back soon, and he could set out again with Huang Hanrui and the others to save people as soon as possible.
Saving people was something he had never thought about before.
However, this is also what he thinks is the most meaningful thing now.
What else is more meaningful than saving people?
In high school, the solemn political class teacher once discussed with students in class what kind of life is meaningful.
That time, he asked Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan was not a good student back then. He even deliberately opposed the teacher, saying that making money is the most meaningful and doing business is the most meaningful.
In fact, it was just solemn and intentional.
When I was in class, Zhuang Yan was asked questions, actually had no answer at all. He just whispered and dealt with them.
He felt that he had finally got the answer now.
"Chat, I will always remember this day..." he said to himself.
Wang Datong asked: "What did you say?"
Zhuang Yan said: "I only realized today that what I do in life is the most meaningful."
Wang Datong frowned and asked, "What is the most meaningful?"
