Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 42
The drivers of the pickup trucks and vans complained: "This is the only road to the village in the city. If it collapses, we won't go!"

Zhang Shennian gritted his teeth: "I know that if we go around the second market, we can still take the road of Dadonghai and take Yuechuan Bridge."

"Brother, it's windy and rainy, how much more gas will it cost to walk from Yuechuan Bridge! We did it to help out. In this weather, who wants to earn money with their heads hanging on their belts?"

Taking out all the big red banknotes from his wallet, Zhang Shennian counted them, and there were about 2000 yuan, which he gave to the truck driver and the van driver respectively: "Two hard work, take a trip!"

Looking at the bright red banknotes, the driver, who was cursing at first, became energetic in an instant: "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, the point is that we have to help the fellow villagers! Let's go! Yuechuan Bridge is Yuechuan Bridge!"

"Reverse! Please pay attention! Reverse! Please pay attention..."

Hearing the sound of the car backing up and making a detour, Zhang Shennian wiped the rainwater off his face, got back into the car, and directed Liu Hongqiang to change the way.

Liu Hongqiang couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Zhang, you have been in Yangpu for the past few years, how can you still remember the road here so firmly?"

Zhang Shennian laughed. In the two years since he first came to Sanya, he not only set up a stall, but also worked as a driver, a porter, and stepped on a tricycle. He went to the edge of Yacheng in Sanya, and he ran a few times a day. all over?
But right now he was anxious for disaster relief, so he just replied lightly: "I used my footsteps to measure the whole of Sanya. Especially when I was riding a tricycle, the whole city walked through streets and alleys. I don't know which path?"

Liu Hongqiang once again respected Zhang Shennian: "Mr. Zhang, you are a great hero in my heart: you can endure hardships, take responsibility, and have the righteousness of your family and country. People like you are really the pillars of the country!"

Zhang Shennian, who was originally sad, was amused by him and burst out laughing: "I just caught up with the good times and made two small coins. I happen to be a normal person with nothing bad. How can I dare to wear such clothes?" High hat? The pillars of our country are those scientists who have worked silently for decades for the country's scientific and technological progress; those farmers who work tirelessly to feed and clothe the masses; The worker brothers who are dying; the teachers who help their children grow up and become successful, and stick to the podium to fight their gray hair...they are great ordinary people, but they are also the backbone of our country."

Liu Hongqiang, who was just boasting casually, instantly became a fan of Zhang Shennian from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Zhang, don't say anything. I will be your little brother from now on. If you need anything, just give me an order. He will go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants."

Zhang Shennian's gloomy mood seemed to be blown away by the wind blowing outside the window, and his hearty laughter shook the seats: "We are all brothers fighting side by side, there is no need to be like this!"

From Zhang Shennian's point of view, although Liu Hongqiang was his driver, it was just a difference in division of labor and remuneration, and he never distinguished his identity.

From Zhang Shennian's point of view, although Liu Hongqiang was his driver, it was just a difference in division of labor and remuneration, and he never distinguished his identity.However, Liu Hongqiang has always felt that he is like a "hired worker" of a wealthy family in the past, inferior to others.

Hearing Zhang Shennian's words today, Liu Hongqiang felt warm in his heart: "Hey! Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Shennian patted him on the shoulder: "We are all builders of modernization, the pillars of the family, and the mainstay of the motherland!"

Three cars drove across the Yuechuan Bridge one after another, and Yuyu moved forward in the stagnant water in the calf.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village in the city, the small truck loaded with relief supplies couldn't start after turning off the engine.

After Zhang Shennian got off the car, he found that the current was getting more and more turbulent, and with the waves rushing onto the road and pouring backwards, the whole village became a vast ocean.

The officers and soldiers who were rescued in the distance, the water depth had passed the waist membrane and lost their shoulders. Seeing this, he rushed forward and put his hands on his mouth and shouted: "Brothers, I have brought a life buoy, a life raft, and a life jacket. Everyone, go and move!"

The officers and soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand couldn't help cheering when they heard that relief supplies had arrived.

After they received the rescue notice, they brought out all the equipment they had on hand, but this time the typhoon level went from level 12 to level [-] in one breath, and with the influx of sea water, Sanya Sigeng Village, an urban village near the sea and listening to the waves, became a major disaster. disaster area.

In addition, many families with their families are reluctant to leave the stone houses they worked so hard to build, so they end up trapped here.

Here was once the most dilapidated place in the whole city. All the villagers who came to make a living used simple templates and oiled paper to build a small house that could shelter from the wind and rain. Usually, only a few members of the family lived with a few beds.

Later, the city continued to develop, and the treatment of the villagers here was also improved, and they began to build their own houses with stone and cement.

It can be said that this is the first batch of villagers who settled in the stone house. From the wooden bed board to the oil paper house to the stone house, it is a testimony of their unremitting struggle and a dream for them to move towards a better future. No wonder they are reluctant.

"No matter how important the house is, how can it be more important than life?! These idiots!" Liu Hongqiang cursed while pumping up the life buoy.

Zhang Shennian looked very calm: "You haven't experienced the pain of living in an oil-paper house, so naturally you can't understand their feelings for the stone house."

In Sanya, which is hot all year round, the oil paper house can keep out the wind and rain, but in summer, the whirring fans blow out all the hot air, mosquitoes and heat waves hit together, and it is basically impossible to sleep through the night.

In the past few years, with the improvement of the economy and the overall improvement of the city plane, they have the opportunity to live in brand new stone houses.

In addition, on the island, several typhoons come every year. The islanders with excellent swimming skills are not only not afraid, but even rush into the beach and sea to catch a handful of conch seafood when the typhoon just passes through.

This time, everyone also had the mentality of letting it go. They didn't expect the typhoon to be so fast and fierce. However, the water level soared in just a few hours, causing the whole village to be trapped.

With Zhang Shennian's life raft and life jacket, the speed of rescue was much faster.

Soon, the villagers all moved to the relatively safe Yuechuan Bridge next door, and Liu Hongqiang began to distribute bread and other dry food and mineral water to everyone.

The dark sky was still being poured with water as if it was being torn apart. The officers and soldiers checked carefully several times, and after confirming that the villagers had basically been transferred, they assembled and prepared to evacuate.

Suddenly, Zhang Shennian heard a few low whimpers, and listened for a long time with his ears pricked up. After failing to find the source, everyone prepared to evacuate: "Let's go! It must be the kitten trapped in the tree!"

Zhang Shennian walked towards the place where the sound came from, followed the sound, and saw a black and thin boy hanging on the coconut tree.

Perhaps it was an emergency when the flood came. He kept climbing up, but he forgot that coconut trees are easy to climb and difficult to descend. In addition, he was frightened, lost his voice instantly, his hands and feet became weak, and he could only hang on the crown of the tree and whimper.

Zhang Shennian turned around and took a few hemp ropes, and climbed up the tree without saying a word.Seeing the child trembling with fright, sobbing and trembling, Zhang Shennian sang an ancient Qiongju nursery rhyme: "Don't be afraid! Uncle is here to save you! Uncle sings to you: My name is Hu Sizhen, I was born three I don't have a mother every day, and my father died when I was seven years old, do you think it's pitiful?..."

This sad nursery rhyme tells an inspirational story about the growth of an orphan. It is sad but not sad. It has a hypnotic effect. Zhang Shennian used to use it to lull Zhang Wenxuan and Zhang Wenqian to sleep.

The catchy nursery rhymes, together with Zhang Shennian's sweet voice singing, gradually calmed down the child on the tree, and the sobbing sound gradually became smaller.

Seeing Zhang Shennian's figure getting smaller and smaller, Liu Hongqiang finally came to his senses, turned his head and looked for the officers and soldiers behind him: "Hey! Hey! You... why did you let him go? This, this, hurry up, let him go come down."

The rescue captain next to him immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called for rescue: After fighting for nearly 15 hours, all the officers and soldiers were exhausted, let alone an ordinary person?

At this time, Zhang Shennian was indeed supported by willpower, his hands and feet were weak, but the belief in his mind made him dare not stop.

As a parent, you just can't see your children suffer.

When Liu Hongqiang was worried, Zhang Shennian had already climbed to the top of the coconut tree, and gently touched the little boy's head. Zhang Shennian smiled and said, "What's your name? You are so amazing! You can climb so high!"

The little boy hiccupped with tears in his eyes: "My name is... Hiccup Fu Xiaopang... woo woo woo"

Zhang Shennian raised his palm to help him wipe his face, and smiled warmly: "Okay! Xiaopang, now we are going to play a game for the police uncle below, are you ready?"

The little boy stared blankly at Zhang Shennian, obviously not knowing how to react.

Zhang Shennian turned around slowly, turned his head to the little boy and said, "Come on, lie on my back! Let's perform a fly in the air for the police uncle!"

After fastening the little boy's limbs across the crotch to his back, Zhang Shennian tied a knot with hemp rope, put it firmly behind his back, and told the little boy: "Come on! Clamp me tightly with your legs, Hug my neck with both hands too! Alright, now we start flying..."

The little boy was so frightened that he cried loudly, but he started giggling after being coaxed by Zhang Shennian. He completely forgot that he was several meters high in the air, and he also forgot the fear and panic that he was just trembling with.

Zhang Shennian grabbed the hemp rope, clamped his legs around the trunk of the coconut tree, dropped his body, and jumped down with his legs...

After dozens of reincarnations, Zhang Chennian finally squatted down on his buttocks, slumped into the stagnant water, and quickly pulled himself up, his legs trembling unceasingly, the moment his feet landed on the ground, his heart finally beat wildly.

Liu Hongqiang and the officers and soldiers present hurriedly untied the little boy and put him on the life raft. The little boy clapped his hands excitedly and shouted to fly again.

Liu Hongqiang wiped his face. He didn't know whether it was tears or rain, and gave the bear a light pat: "You monkey grandson, do you still want to fly? I think you want to go to the sky!"

Stepping forward to support Zhang Shennian, Liu Hongqiang couldn't help thinking: "You said how you jumped up in the blink of an eye, how dangerous it is! You don't even know, watching you float down, my little heart It’s also squatting and jumping! It’s too scary! This coconut tree is at least five or six meters high! I don’t know how this little monkey grandson climbed up!”

Zhang Shennian let out a long breath, and finally regained some strength: "Ever since I had a child, I can't see such a picture. Seeing him sitting on a branch precariously, there is no time to think, the body is faster than the brain Just rushed up!"

Liu Hongqiang shook his head and then nodded and sighed: "Fortunately, you didn't climb up empty-handed just because you were really crazy, otherwise it would be really difficult to get down."

Zhang Shennian staggered with stagnant water: "I really didn't expect it at first. My first reaction was to let him hug me tightly after climbing the tree, but I think the child should have been a little panicked, his hands and feet were shaking, and I was worried that he would not be able to hug me tightly by then." Me, that is really a disaster scene..."

In Liu Hongqiang's mind, the image of Zhang Shennian grew two meters eight in an instant.

It is not uncommon to fight floods and provide relief. It is not uncommon for a big boss like him to be able to personally rescue disasters. Calming the little boy with folk songs, while his brain is still spinning fast.

After transferring the villagers, night had already fallen quietly, and the two returned to the road with dim street lights. Liu Hongqiang smoked a cigarette to wake up a little.

Zhang Shennian picked up his phone from the car and took a look, good guy!Hundreds of missed calls!His face changed in an instant - Huang Simi must be very anxious since he left the house early in the morning.

At this moment, Zhang Chennian, who was suffering from hunger and cold, sucked his abdomen, took a few deep breaths, and dialed the phone at home in a calm manner: "Ah Mei! I was stuck when I went out to buy some dry food! Come back soon, don't be afraid! "

Huang Simei was also taking a deep breath, speaking with her abdominal voice, telling him to be safe and come back quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shennian became anxious: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go to the first market, I have to buy a set of clothes to change, if I go back like this, Ah Mei will be terrified!"

The two of them worked like a tiger after a meal. After buying clothes and shoes in the first market, they made a new look before rushing back home.

Seeing Zhang Shennian, Huang Simi stepped forward silently and tore off his shirt. Liu Hongqiang was so frightened that he quickly covered his eyes with his hands——unexpectedly, the usually gentle lady boss would be so fierce!
The next moment, Huang Simei couldn't control it anymore, and cried directly: "You still want to lie to me! Look at your hands are wrinkled! There are bloodstains all over your neck..."

After finishing the calf, I was too busy buying clothes and shoes, and ruined the most important details.

Waving away Liu Hongqiang, Zhang Shennian hugged his wife and deliberately acted like a baby: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't hide it from you, but I'm suffering from hunger and cold right now--dizzy, dizzy, weak, sweating and cold hands and feet! My good wife, can I have a bowl first?" Hot soup? Take a hot bath?"

Huang Simi felt distressed again, and hurried into the kitchen to bring out ginger soup that was still hot on the stove: "I searched for Hainan and Haibei, I searched for Street North Street South; Tianchang - if you dare to do this again next time, don't sleep in my bed!"

While grinding his teeth while singing the harmony ditty, Huang Simei slapped him harshly.
