Crime and Punishment: Female Secretary

Chapter 33 Emergency Rescue
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was as if a huge bead curtain had been hung between the sky and the earth, making it misty.Lightning flashed and thunder, and the torrential rain poured down fiercely like the Milky Way broke its mouth, hitting the water surface more than a foot high. The whole village was shrouded in dark rain, like a Venetian building on the water.The heavy rain kept hitting Lin Ruonan and the others on their faces and necks, all the way down with the current. After one night, Lin Ruonan and his party were completely soaked.

"Secretary Lin, it's too bad, it's not good, we haven't gone to the dumb woman's house at the mouth of the Luoshi group." Zou Xiaoxiang cried out in panic.

"What? Why are you so careless? Let's go, let's go quickly." Hearing this, Lin Ruonan was angry and resentful. The situation was urgent, and it was almost [-]:[-].

"She is a foreigner. She moved to our village last year. The family lives in a mountain nest, where the terrain is lower. Her house may have been soaked in a lot of water. She is a dumb woman, and her son and daughter-in-law are outside. Working part-time, I bring a pair of twin grandchildren at home."

Lin Ruonan hurriedly called the County Flood Control Office.

"Hi, is there a flood control office? I'm Lin Ruonan from Pilong Township. Can you contact the municipal flood control department and delay the opening of the gates for another half an hour?"

"No way, the city has made dozens of phone calls asking if the evacuation work has been done, saying that the Wujiang Reservoir has crossed the police line again, if the gates are not opened immediately, the embankment may collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Here It cannot be delayed any longer."

Lin Ruonan was very anxious when he heard this, the situation had reached a critical moment.

Zou Xiaoxiang quickly comforted: "There are continuous mountains behind the dumb woman's house, and the dumb woman and we can evacuate directly to that mountain."

"Okay then, let's go." Lin Ruonan felt relieved after hearing this.

Zou Xiaoxiang led the way in front, and several people waded through the one-foot-deep waterway, and started to run at a loose pace, but due to the resistance of the water, the walking speed was seriously affected, and the road surface could not be seen clearly. A group of people stepped into deep ditches and fields from time to time, and they fell down. Several people supported each other and got up quickly. In order to walk faster, Lin Ruonan simply took off his heavy and wide raincoat, braving the downpour like this, Step on the water with big strides, and move forward with hands shaken.Seeing this, several other cadres shouted loudly: "Secretary Lin, you will get gonorrhea."

"It's okay, it's okay to be drenched overnight, and I can't run fast if I wear thick clothes."

Seeing Lin Ruonan taking off his raincoat and walking faster, the other cadres also took off their heavy raincoats one after another, threw them into the water, and ran away.

"Director Zou, how far is it?" Lin Ruonan asked out of breath.

"It's not far, we're almost there, Secretary Lin, don't you see that the house in front of me that's been soaked for half a floor is the house of the dumb woman?" Zou Xiaoxiang replied panting, pointing the flashlight at the front.

"Zhang Gongzhu, check your phone, what time is it? My phone is out of battery!" Lin Ruonan shouted in the rain and fog.

"Secretary Lin, I don't know what time it is. My phone fell into the water and I can't see anything now!"

"Director Zou, where's yours? What time is it?"

"Our mobile phones were all soaked in water, and they didn't respond at all."

"Oops! We can't communicate with the outside world now!"

"We have to go there quickly, otherwise, we will be trapped in the flood and cannot get out." Lin Ruonan became more and more anxious, the big raindrops were still falling, the sky was still dark, and the flashlight The light shone all night, getting weaker and weaker.

"Secretary Lin, there is a high mountain near the dumb woman's house. We can retreat to that high mountain later." Zou Xiaoxiang said in relief.

"Ah, is it here? I saw the house, Zhang Gongzhu, take a look with your flashlight, is there a person standing under the eaves of that house?" Lin Ruonan shouted excitedly, and finally walked to the dumb woman's house.

Zhang Gongzhu shined it with a flashlight, and saw a house at the foot of a mountain not far away, soaked in rainwater, surrounded by water, and a woman in her sixties stood on the top floor of the balcony of the house Yiyi screamed in panic, Beside him were two little boys about three years old who were weeping.

"Let's go!" Lin Ruonan shouted loudly.

"Secretary Lin, you can't cross here. There is a big river in front of you. The water may be two meters deep now." Zou Xiaoxiang, director of the village women's committee, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ruonan, shouting.

"Then what should we do? They are surrounded by water and they are still trapped in it. How can we get there?"

"Come on, let's go around to the high mountain behind his house, that mountain is only five meters wide from her house, we'll think of a way when we get there," Zou Xiaoxiang suggested.

Under the leadership of Zou Xiaoxiang, Lin Ruonan and his party quickly walked around to the foot of a mountain.

"Secretary Lin, just climb up from here, and you can reach the back room of her house after a few tens of meters of mountain road." Zou Xiaoxiang said.

At the foot of the mountain, there was finally no deep stagnant water. Under the leadership of Zou Xiaoxiang, Lin Ruonan continued to walk along a steep and narrow mountain road. , feet, and hands were scratched by hard branches from time to time, but they couldn't care less, and continued to break through the weeds and branches, the mountain road was very slippery, Lin Ruonan and the others fell, got up, and left After about 10 minutes, I finally reached the hillside behind the dumb woman's house with difficulty.

The foot of the mountain is full of ocean water, and the house of the dumb woman's house is like a small island in the ocean water.

"How deep is the water?" Lin Ruonan asked.

"It should be nearly two meters deep." Zou Xiaoxiang replied after observing with a flashlight for a while.

"It's so deep, we still can't get there?" Zhang Gongzhu shouted from the side.

"Let's swim over." Lin Ruonan said firmly.

"Ah, I can't swim." Zhang Gongzhu said awkwardly.

"I can't swim either." Zou Xiaoxiang said awkwardly.

"Yeah, I don't know how to swim, how can I get there?" Another township cadre also said.

"Let's call the dumb woman and tell her to throw a long rope over at home." Zhang Gongzhu said with an idea.

"She is a dumb woman, not only can't speak, but also can't hear." Zou Xiaoxiang said angrily.

"All of you shine your flashlights ahead, and I'll swim over." Lin Ruonan said.

"Ah, Secretary Lin, you swim over, it's too dangerous, you are a daughter." Zhang Gongzhu shook his head and denied.

"If you don't go, you can see that the water level is getting higher and higher. If you don't go over it, it's too late. This house may be flooded. I don't know if the Wujiang River has opened the gate? I feel that the water is rising faster and faster. It's coming soon, it doesn't look like normal rainwater accumulation." After Lin Ruonan finished speaking, she jumped into the water involuntarily.

After not swimming for a long time, when Lin Ruonan jumped into the water, his throat was still choked with a big mouthful of water. Lin Ruonan poked his head out of the water, opened his hands, and swam to the balcony of the dumb woman's house. Lin Ruonan grabbed Balcony pillars, climbed up with difficulty, and jumped into the balcony of the house.

Seeing someone swimming over, the dumb woman knew that it was to save her, so she screamed excitedly.Lin Ruonan didn't know where the dumb woman's basket rope was kept, so she walked up to the dumb woman and tried her best to show her the shape of the rope. It took a long time for the dumb woman to understand.The dumb woman pointed to the downstairs, and Lin Ruonan immediately understood that the rope was placed downstairs, so Lin Ruonan went down to the warehouse on the second floor to find it. Touching left and right, he found a long rope. Lin Ruonan also found a big dustpan. Lin Ruonan tied one end of the rope to the handle of the dustpan, tied a knot, and then walked up to the third floor. At the top of the balcony.

"Zhang Gongzhu—" Lin Ruonan shouted loudly amidst the pattering rain.

"Secretary Lin, we are here." Zhang Gongzhu also replied loudly.

"I'll throw the rope over, you catch it!"

"Okay, you throw it over, we will continue here."

Lin Ruonan threw it over with all her strength, but because of the buoyant force of the water, the other end of the rope could not be thrown down the opposite hillside. Lin Ruonan was exhausted from throwing it, so she had no choice but to give up the idea, so she tied the rope around her wrist, " "Boom" and jumped into the water again, and then swam to the hillside. Zhang Gongzhu and Zou Xiaochun quickly grabbed Lin Ruonan and pulled her ashore.Lin Ruonan put the rope into the hands of Zhang Gongzhu and the others, and said, "Hold on to this end tightly, and I'll swim over. Later, I'll put those two little boys in the big dustpan. Hurry up and pull them over. Let these two little boys choke and wait for the water. My swimming skills are not good, and I can't swim over with people one by one, so I have to adopt this method."

"Okay, we will, Secretary Lin, you should also be careful over there, and be safe." Zhang Gongzhu and the others said with worried faces.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You guys must move quickly." After speaking, Lin Ruonan jumped into the water again. At this time, the water level was getting higher and higher, and Zhang Gongzhu and the others kept moving up the mountain.

Lin Ruonan swam to the dumb woman's house, at this time the water had almost reached the third floor, Lin Ruonan waved her hand and gestured to the dumb woman, meaning to put the child in the big dustpan, the dumb woman saw that the water had reached the third floor Coming up the third floor, I have already stepped on the water under my feet, knowing that the current situation is very urgent, I nodded in agreement.

Lin Ruonan and the dumb woman each picked up a child and put them into the dustpan. The capacity of the dustpan was just enough to hold it. They put the dustpan into the water together. Because the weight was too deep, the water immediately submerged the two children. It kept sinking, and the two children were even more frightened. Lin Ruonan decided to carry out a child first and transport them over one by one.

After picking up a child, the dustpan immediately surfaced, only covering the child's chest, and the child was still crying "Wow".

Lin Ruonan gently patted the child's back, and coaxed: "Don't cry, don't cry, it will be fine soon, in a while." After speaking,
Lin Ruonan shouted loudly to the other side: "This side is done, are you ready!"

"done"

"Then pull it quickly." Lin Ruonan jumped into the water with a "boom" after finishing speaking. In order to prevent accidents, he held the dustpan with one hand and paddled vigorously with the other. With the help of the pulling force from the opposite side, he quickly transported a child to the shore.As soon as the child took out the dustpan, Lin Ruonan swam to the dumb woman's house with the empty dustpan in her arms, and put the second child in it. Soon, the second child was also transported to the opposite hillside, and Lin Ruonan held the empty dustpan again. Swimming to the dumb woman's house with an empty dustpan, the water had already overflowed the dumb woman's trousers, and the dumb woman was standing there screaming "ahhh" in panic, Lin Ruonan gestured and told the dumb woman to sit in the dustpan Grasping the rope tightly, the dumb woman grabbed the rope and sat in the dustpan, the whole dustpan quickly sank into the water, and the water almost covered the dumb woman's neck. louder.Lin Ruonan had no choice but to jump into the water with a "boom" and forcefully lifted the dustpan up with one hand, "Quick—" Lin Ruonan hadn't finished speaking when a huge wave suddenly hit, Immediately afterwards, the monstrous flood flooded down, and the huge impact instantly wrapped Lin Ruonan in the rolling waves, and Lin Ruonan was immediately washed into the turbulent river.

Zhang Gongzhu, Zou Xiaoxiang and the others on the shore saw the torrential flood rushing down, and Secretary Lin was immediately beaten out of sight by the big waves.He was so frightened that he cried on the shore.

"Secretary Lin—"

"Secretary Lin, where are you?"

"No, Secretary Lin rushed away."

"Secretary Lin—"

"Quick, let's pull the dumb woman up first." Zhang Gongzhu reminded rationally.Several people worked together to quickly pull the dumb woman ashore first. The dumb woman was immersed in the water, and a lot of water was choked in her throat. When she reached the shore, she was still dizzy for a while.When she heard several cadres still crying and shouting: "Secretary Lin, Secretary Lin!", she also understood what had just happened, and she also cried "ahhh" on the bank with a hoarse voice. .The children on the hillside were frightened by the situation in front of them and cried loudly.

The heavy rain was torrential, blurring people's vision. The dumb woman's house was completely submerged by the flood, and the flood was rushing down the hillside.Zhao Gongzhu and the others kept crawling along the hillside towards the direction of the river, shouting as they fell, "Secretary Lin, where are you?"

"Secretary Lin—"

"Whoa--, Secretary Lin was washed away, what should I do?"

……

After the huge waves hit, Lin Ruonan seemed to hear someone on the shore crying for Secretary Lin. Lin Ruonan was quickly submerged in the flood, and immediately rushed more than ten meters away. Before he could react, "Boom", his head Hitting on a hard boulder, her body was turned over by the rushing water, and she rushed into the river with a drop of more than ten meters. Lin Ruonan was powerless to save herself. She was extremely exhausted and could not compete with the rushing flood. Lin Ruonan was submerged in the In the murky water, fluid gushes out of the back of the head that feels pain in a daze, and the consciousness begins to become more and more blurred. Lin Ruonan thinks of her daughter, her lovely face, and how it would be for her to lose her mother. Poor, secretly regretting in my heart, I feel that I have always owed my daughter too much, but unfortunately I have no chance to make it up; I think of my parents, I think of their humble eyes begging every passer-by when they set up a street stall on the street, and now let them have white hair and black hair , how would she cry bitterly; thinking of Zhao Feiyang, that affectionate and handsome face, always staring at her infatuatedly, calling her a little guy, unfortunately, by accident, there is no fate in the end, so I can only helplessly sigh...
