Excellent little farmer

After a moment of hesitation, I began to take off my clothes quickly. Luo Yucheng, Rongsheng and several surrounding militiamen were all taken aback. They exclaimed: "Secretary Ye, what are you going to do? No, this is too dangerous. The following is It’s crazy, the water is flowing too fast!”

"Don't worry, I have confidence in myself!"

I seemed quite calm and collected. The distance of one hundred meters and the speed of the water meant that there was indeed a great risk, but it was not without confidence. I knew my physical potential. When I rescued Zhu Yueyin that year, it might have been easier than in this situation now. , but that was after I had been swimming for a long time, and now I still maintain relatively good physical fitness.

Seeing me taking off my clothes quickly, several other militiamen who ran up also started to take off their clothes. A district committee secretary dared to do this, and several water-based experts who were originally unsure about it became eager to try.

"Don't have too many people. The water flow is too fast. This does not require good skills, but good physical fitness. Don't go down if you are too old or have poor physical strength, so as not to cause unnecessary sacrifices. Two or three people are enough, I said. This is the truth, this is not the time to show off your personal heroism, you should also be responsible for your own lives and families!"

While I quickly took off my pants and shoes, I took a deep breath and said loudly: "Those who are not absolutely sure should never go into the water. This is good for everyone! If you really have to go into the water, be careful to protect yourself!"

"Secretary Ye, there are life jackets here!" When I was about to jump into the water, someone next to me shouted.

"No, the life jacket will slow you down!"

I stretched my body, made a beautiful leap into the water, and shouted: "Leave them with what they need! In addition, we should quickly prepare ropes and lifebuoys and go downstream to prepare for the rescue!"

While Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng were stunned, I made a decision in just a few dozen seconds and completed the preparations to jump into the water.

When Luo Yucheng and Rongsheng held their breaths and watched me finally emerge from the murky water ten meters away, they realized that their hands were already clenched tightly.

As I entered the water, three other militiamen who were quite confident in their swimming skills and physical fitness finally took off their clothes and jumped into the water. The entire embankment was as dead as falling into an empty wilderness. Everyone subconsciously clenched their fists and stared. His eyes followed the figures floating downward, breathing as the figures rose and fell.

More and more people were running down from the upstream, and they all obviously discovered this scene. The station wagon slowly coming up from the downstream seemed to have also discovered this situation, and stopped, and a few people got out.

"what happened?"

"Two people were washed down from the upper stream. It looked like they couldn't hold on any longer. Secretary Ye and the others jumped into the water to save them! It's too dangerous. Wu Qingyang is down there!"

The person who answered seemed very impatient. He threw away the chatty woman who wanted to ask more questions and ran straight down the river following the flow of others.

The talkative girl's eyes lit up when she heard this. She seemed to have discovered some exciting subject matter. She quickly followed the crowd and ran downstream, asking at the same time: "Hey! What kind of secretary is this Secretary Ye?"

"What secretary? Of course he is our Xijiang District Party Committee Secretary! I didn't expect Secretary Ye to be so courageous and have such good swimming skills! I hope he can succeed!"

A young militiaman ran with his face flushed, and said with some regret: "Oh! My swimming skills are so bad, otherwise I would have to go down!"

When the woman who was thrown away by the young militia heard this, she was shocked and hurried to the driver's seat of the station wagon, shouting repeatedly: "Master Zhang, Master Zhang, turn around quickly and chase after us. We are going to pick up a big news today. Come on! Come on!"

The driver of the station wagon was also a veteran. He made a beautiful reverse, quickly turned around, grabbed a few reporters who had just had time to pick up their cameras, and roared downstream again.

Naturally, I didn’t know that I had been locked by the camera on the embankment. At this time, he was fighting the waves with all his heart.

When I entered the water, the wooden beam quickly drifted downward beyond my parallel line. I didn't feel it on the shore. Only when I got into the water did I realize how fast the flood flowed and how powerful it was.

In this state, only freestyle is the most suitable and fastest swimming style. I jumped up and raised my gaze. After confirming the general direction of the target for the last time, I threw myself into the water, spread my arms, and rowed downstream along the current.

I knew that the distance from when I entered the water to when the Yuexiu River merged into Qingyang of the Wujiang River was only a few kilometers away. In other words, maybe within ten or twenty minutes, I, the wooden beam and the two lives carried on the wooden beam would be swept into the river. Wujiang River.

The Wujiang River is now at its most ferocious, and a few kilometers further down is where the Cui River flows into the Wujiang River. It can be said that once it is washed into the Wujiang River, I may be able to survive alone, but I still want to save these two lives. Basically it's impossible.

Moreover, the sky is getting dark. If you are really going to be sucked into the Wujiang River, the night will also swallow up the two trapped people who don’t know how long they can hold on. You want to find traces of these two people on the Wujiang River, which is already a thousand meters wide. , is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.

To save people, we can only pull them ashore before entering the Wujiang River in these short twenty or thirty minutes.

It only took me a few minutes to swim to the wooden beam. Sure enough, there were two women. They seemed to be a mother and daughter. One was probably in her thirties, and the other was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

When I rushed forward, perhaps for the first time, I felt the hope of survival. The originally highly tense nerves suddenly relaxed. As soon as the little girl let go, she was swallowed by the big wave.

A scream suddenly sounded from the shore.

Shocked, I dived into the water, stretched out my hands to both sides, and hit an object with my right hand. I quickly turned around and kicked my hands around to catch it, and then I threw myself out of the water. The girl's face was already gray and she was choking and coughing repeatedly. I He didn't dare to let her go, so he could only lift her up and place her next to the wooden beam, and her mother was so anxious that she kept shouting.

"Hold on tight!"

I pushed the girl to the edge of the wooden beam and signaled the girl to hold her steady, then turned to the other side and began to push the wooden beam towards the shore. However, the power of the water flow was too great, and one person's strength was quite limited. I had already used After trying their best, the flow direction of the wooden beam finally began to shift toward the shore, but at this speed, it might rush through Wu Qingyang before it reached the shore.

What made me feel gratified was that the three militiamen who followed me arrived at my side in two or three minutes. The four people surrounded the wooden beam and began to push the wooden beam closer to the shore. The pushing force of the four people obviously had an effect. , the speed of the wooden beams approaching the shore was greatly accelerated.

When a few of us were finally less than 300 meters away from Wu Qingyang and were caught in a wooden beam by a lifebuoy with a rope thrown from the embankment, the four people who participated in the rescue almost climbed up the embankment immediately. He collapsed on the ground. In just over twenty minutes, it was as if all the energy of the four people had been drained away.

The faces of the four people were all an almost dark gray, and their chests were rising and falling violently like bellows. One of them even suffered from convulsions all over due to excessive exertion, and the two mother and daughter were also in a semi-conscious state. They were rushed to the hospital together.

"Secretary Ye, Secretary Ye!"

I returned to the district committee and district government building almost half-lying on the car seat. Before I got out of the car, a station wagon followed closely behind the Mitsubishi off-road vehicle and chased me in.

I looked impatiently at the few men and women who got out of the station wagon with the Jiang O license plate. Especially the man in the back who was carrying a camera made him a little disgusted. Where did these guys get out of there? from?

I ignored the men and women who got out of the station wagon and went straight into the building and got on the elevator. The men and women behind me were blocked by Luo Yucheng and others from outside the building.

"I'm sorry, you guys, what do you do?" The people on duty at the district government office came out and blocked the men and women who were still trying to get in.

"We are reporters from the Provincial TV Station News Center, and we want to interview Secretary Ye." The young female reporter in the lead showed her press card with great momentum.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Ye is very tired now. I'm afraid he can't accept your interview. If there is anything he wants to interview, I can inform our comrades from the Propaganda Department of the District Committee to cooperate with you."

When Luo Yucheng heard that it was from the provincial TV station, he was a little undecided whether he could help me accept it. But now I am really tired, so I decided to delay the attack and let me decide whether to accept the interview.

"Oh! We just want to interview Secretary Ye himself and ask him to do a brief interview about his deeds of sacrificing himself to save others. In fact, we have just interviewed several other militiamen who followed Secretary Ye into the water to save others. We also I plan to go to the hospital later to interview the rescued mother and daughter."

The female reporter seemed to be aware of Luo Yucheng's hesitation and said with a smile: "Our province and Taiwan need such deeds to promote the outstanding images that represent the spirit of the Communists that have emerged in our flood fighting and disaster relief work. Secretary Ye's performance just now , we have recorded the whole process, so we just want to delay him for a few minutes and do a simple interview."
