Xiao Muyou looked at the dark place at the foot of the mountain with a worried look on his face. According to Principal Qi, the people living in Washan Village now are elderly people and left-behind children. If something happens, let alone saving people,
It is difficult to save yourself.
Just when everyone was worried about Washan Village, suddenly, they heard a roar.
"Run quickly, go up the mountain, flood, flood is coming..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Muyou heard a rumbling sound behind her, and then she looked at the crumbling classrooms in the distance that were destroyed by floods in an instant.
Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of children crying. Most of the more than forty children living in the school were under the age of ten. They were frightened when they saw this situation.
Fortunately, Principal Qi had the foresight to wake up those children in time, otherwise something serious would really have happened.
"Is everyone okay?"
Principal Qi pointed a flashlight in the direction of the crowd and asked loudly, and the teachers immediately began to count the number of people.
"Both the first and second graders are here."
"The third and fourth graders are all here too."
"Everyone on my side is here too."
Principal Qi looked at Xiao Muyou and the others who were not far away again. None of them had seen such a situation before. A row of classrooms were collapsed in front of their eyes. The distance was only ten meters away, and now there was still sound in their ears.
There was the sound of roaring flood water passing by.
"Are you all okay?"
"Principal Qi, we are fine, you don't have to worry about us, just take care of the children."
Because the open space in the school is more than one meter higher than the classroom, it was not affected when the flood came down. Now there are fifty or sixty people crowded into this open space of less than 200 square meters. The adults spontaneously moved
The children gathered in the middle.
The temperature in the mountains is very low at night, and the children were woken up suddenly. Some of them didn't have time to put on their coats. Now many of them are standing shivering in the crowd. Fortunately, it didn't rain at this time, otherwise this situation would have happened.
I'm afraid it will be worse.
There are only four tents, and the dining tent is not blocked on all sides. Now those three tents are all reserved for children under fourth grade. The dozen or so children in fifth and sixth grade cannot squeeze in, so they can only stand in front of them.
Shivering in the wind.
Xiao Muyou took a flashlight and saw the trembling children in the crowd, and she immediately said to Chen Li.
"Chen Li, you guys move all the camp beds out of the tent and make room for the children to stay in the tent. Also, give our quilts and coats to the children. You see, they are all freezing."
"I know, I'll go right away."
After that, seven or eight people hurriedly packed up all the camp beds in the three tents. Now, all the children could stay in the tents and had quilts to cover them. The children's problem was finally solved.
Now the adults can only wait for the people from the town to go into the mountains to rescue them. Otherwise, they would not dare to leave with so many children in tow. If they encounter mudslides, floods, etc. along the way and have no place to hide, it will be troublesome.
.
"We've contacted you. I've contacted you, Principal Qi. The town knows about our situation and has organized a rescue operation."
Teacher Wang ran down from a distance excitedly, held up his mobile phone and said loudly. After hearing the news, Principal Qi, who was originally anxious, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if the news got out. Now they can only wait for someone to be sent from outside to rescue them.
.
"Everyone, please don't stand here and find a place to rest. In this situation, the only way into the mountain is probably blocked. We don't know when the rescue team will arrive. We still need to recharge our batteries and don't waste any energy."
At this time, people from Yangshan County and Sanyuan Town government agencies went out overnight. Within half an hour, a temporary rescue team was established and began to study and discuss the mountainous area near Washan Village. However, looking at the people present
From the expression on his face, this rescue seemed to be much more difficult than imagined.
"Don't you usually have ideas? Now when your life is at stake, why are you all mute?"
An old man with gray hair looked at the people around him with a majestic look on his face. He was as powerful as a mountain, his voice was loud, and there was a trace of anxiety on his face. He was the parent officer of Yangshan County. When he received the news about the mudslides and flash floods in Washan Village,
Then I felt the county government.
"Secretary Hu, all rescue personnel are now in place, but the road into the mountain has also been blocked by mudslides. We are still clearing the road."
"I don't want to listen to these explanations. I just want to know how long it will take to get to the disaster area?"
"this……"
When Secretary Hu asked, no one dared to ask. The terrain of the mountain road was really complicated, and they didn't know how many places were blocked ahead. No one could guarantee it.
"Forget it, looking at your dejected faces, I know you can't ask any questions. Xiao Zhao, have you contacted the troops stationed in Tang City?"
"We have made contact, and they are already heading here. I told them about the situation in Washan Village. They will send a helicopter over, and they may fly directly into the mountain."
"I hope so. Okay, don't stay here in the cold. Hurry up and send more manpower to dig a way into the mountain. Time is of the essence now."
With that said, Secretary Hu walked out of the conference room. He is not the kind of person who likes to sit in the back.
But this is, his secretary walked up to him and whispered.
"Secretary Hu, according to the information from Washan Primary School, there is also a charity team trapped there, coming from Kyoto."
When Secretary Hu heard this, he remembered this matter. Because Xiao Muyou and the others were heading to a village below Sanyuan Town, Secretary Hu did not come directly to receive them, but handed them over to the relevant person in charge below.
.
Secretary Hu looked up at the people in the conference room, and finally said to a middle-aged man in the distance.
"Xiao Li, did the charity team you received last time go to Washan Primary School?"
"Secretary Hu, I was about to report this to you. Yes, this charity team is an employee of Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries in Kyoto. It is said that the person leading the team this time is the director of Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries, but Xiao Liu came here before
Call, they are all in good condition now, no one was injured."
"As long as it's okay, it's okay. We'd better hurry up. They've traveled thousands of miles to help our babies. We must not let anything happen to them here."
Secretary Hu said worriedly, walking out the door as he spoke.
For a time, the courtyard of the county government building was brightly lit, and vehicles were coming and going, making it very busy.
Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually became brighter. However, when everyone saw the surrounding situation, they only had the feeling that everything was devastated and lifeless.
After a few hours of stress, Xiao Muyou and the others had already calmed down. Under the leadership of Principal Qi, a temporary self-rescue team was set up here. Several women were mainly responsible for taking care of the more than 40 children here.
After two hours of discussion, another dozen men divided into two teams. One stayed at Washan Elementary School to cooperate with these women to protect the children. The other team was to follow Principal Qi to Washan Village down the mountain. No matter where
You have to take a look at what's going on now.
At this time, the people who had been watching all night were all standing on the edge of the cliff. From here, you can see Washan Village at the foot of the mountain. But what you see now is completely different from what you saw a few days ago. There is not a complete house in sight at all.
.
"Principal Qi, let's set off and get there early. Maybe we can save some more villagers."
The speaker was Teacher Zhang. Looking at the dilapidated houses at the foot of the mountain, he could only pray that the people in the village would be moved to a safe area in time.
Principal Qi didn't waste any time and nodded.
"Okay, let's set off now. Xiao Liu informed me that this will be left to you. You must maintain contact with the outside world and tell them that we are still here waiting for them."
"Principal Qi, don't worry. I will contact the outside world every half hour. Didn't Secretary Hu just send news? The rescue team is already rushing to the mountains, but now the mountain roads have been washed away by mudslides, so
It will still take some time.”
Principal Qi nodded and looked at Xiao Muyou who was standing aside with a complicated expression. Seeing this, Xiao Muyou spoke first before Principal Qi could speak.
"Principal Qi, please go to the village quickly. We can take good care of these children. Also, we will also take good care of ourselves. We will also take good care of Mrs. Qi."
Mrs. Qi's leg injury has not recovered yet. When she woke up the children yesterday, Principal Qi also carried his wife into the tent. Although Mrs. Qi has limited mobility, the children here were basically taken care of by Mrs. Qi in the past.
, so they are all very close to her. Now Mrs. Qi is comforting these children and they have calmed down.
After hearing this, Principal Qi said nothing, then took the tools and led a dozen people down the mountain in a mighty manner.
Among them, there are also people from the charity team such as Zhang Shijie and Li Cheng.
If the only thing that makes everyone happy now is that the rain has finally stopped. Although it has not completely cleared up, as long as it does not rain, it means that there will be no major flash floods in the future. In this way, the high ground of Washan Elementary School will be safe for the time being.
