"The mountain is very unstable now, so don't move too much, do you understand?" Xu Fei warned.

"I know." Zhou Haifeng nodded solemnly.

The two men were silently digging the soil with tools, not daring to shout loudly for fear of causing panic among the people around them and causing another landslide.

The rain seemed to get heavier again. Their faces were covered with rain and mud. They wiped them off and continued digging.

Suddenly, a hand emerged from the mud.

"It's Jingchuan!" Zhou Haifeng looked at the red rope wrapped around his hand, and together with Xu Fei, he grabbed Lu Jingchuan's hand and pulled him out.

Lu Jingchuan was holding two children, with a lot of dirt in his mouth and nose. He coughed dryly and shouted, "Take the children away first."

Zhou Haifeng and Xu Fei each took a child away, and they quickly moved away from the dangerous area.

Only when they arrived at the resting place did Lu Jingchuan have time to clean the mud off his body.

Exhausted soldiers were lying all around. The resting place was just a simple rain shelter that could only provide shelter from the rain. There was not even a place to sit. They just lay on the ground to rest for a while and then immediately started the rescue.

The heavy rain caused not only landslides but also mountain torrents and underground caves caused by ground collapse, all of which are quite dangerous.

In addition to checking for potential hazards and escorting villagers away in advance, they also have to protect the villagers' property as much as possible.

After a night of rescue work, everyone was in a mess, lying on the ground exhausted and unable to move.

But there is not much time left for them to rest.

Lu Jingchuan simply took a few bites of dry food, stood up and said, "Leave one team to clean up the mess, and the rest of you follow me to the next village."

A group of people took their tools and walked to the next village.

The village was hit by mountain torrents and many people's houses were flooded.

Some people were trapped and could only hide on the roofs. Lu Jingchuan led people to pick them up and drop them off one by one. Some places were blocked by floods, so they stood in the water and served as human bridges for the villagers to cross.

At this moment, he is not the leader of the team, he is just a member of the disaster relief team.

After rescuing the trapped people, they worked non-stop with the soldiers to remove sand and rocks to block the flood upstream.

The villagers stood in the distance, watching the little soldiers who were so tired that they could only hold on to the tree trunks to rest. They took off their coats and joined the team carrying sand and stones.

The women prepared water and food and spontaneously delivered them to the soldiers who were resting.

The children were unable to help and could only shout from a distance, "Come on, PLA uncles!"

Lu Jingchuan wiped the liquid on his forehead, not sure whether it was sweat or water, smiled, and walked over with two bags of sand and gravel, one in each hand.

Xu Fei was not as strong as him. He was carrying a bag on his shoulders and was panting from exhaustion. Listening to the children's cheers and thinking of his unborn child, a surge of strength surged in his heart and he even had the energy to walk.

"You two are working too hard." Zhou Haifeng held a bag and held his waist, "I'm so tired. My waist is so sore that I can't stand it anymore."

"Your waist is sore already. It seems like you're not feeling well." Lu Jingchuan lowered his eyes and looked at his waist.

"Who said I can't do it?" Zhou Haifeng straightened up immediately as if his foot was stabbed, "I'm young, how can I not do it!"

There were three of them in a group, fighting back and forth like in a competition, to see who could last until the end.

The mountain torrent was successfully blocked and the villagers downstream were safe.

The three of them were so exhausted that they leaned against each other.

"I can't even lift my arms. I really can't do it." Zhou Haifeng leaned his head back and rested on Lu Jingchuan's shoulder.

"I can't take it anymore. My hands are shaking." Xu Fei gasped.

"I think I'm fine." Lu Jingchuan wiped his sweat and laughed at the two of them, "Your arm strength is not enough. Train your arm strength with me every day in the future."

"Who can compare with you? You injured your leg last year, so you worked hard to train your arm strength." Zhou Haifeng slammed his head back, "The muscles on your shoulders are thicker than ours."

"Commander, Battalion Commander Lin asked me to tell you that there are no casualties in Changlin Village below. The situation is better than here. He has handled it all, and the team will be able to reunite with us soon." Xiao Hu ran over and said.

"Okay, let's rest here for another 10 minutes, then we'll form a team and set off to the next village."

There were several villages nearby that were affected by the mountain torrents, so they solved the problem one village at a time, and even ate a few bites when they had time.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, no one could sleep well or have a full meal.

Some young soldiers had never experienced such high-pressure work and accidentally collapsed from exhaustion.

Being sick at this time is the most fatal. The village clinic has long been overcrowded and there is no place for the soldiers.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaoxi had thought of this in advance and prepared this powerful cold medicine among the pills for Lu Jingchuan.

He fed one pill to each of the sick soldiers.

Seeing Xu Fei covering his mouth and nose and coughing, he also stuffed one into his pocket.

Zhou Haifeng next to him was waiting with his mouth wide open.

"You're not sick. Why take medicine? Have a candy. Your godson gave it to you." Lu Jingchuan stuffed a White Rabbit candy into his mouth.

This was something An An secretly put into his pocket. When he was happy, he always liked to put candy into his pocket, and the little guy liked to share.

At this time, it was a surprise for him to touch the candy given by his son.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen my wife and children for several days, and I miss them a lot.

"The candies given by my godson are delicious." Zhou Haifeng chewed the candy in his mouth. His body was replenished with sugar and he looked energetic.

"Go on, I feel much better." Xu Fei put on his hat, "Let's finish this sooner so we can go back earlier."

"Well, let's go." Lu Jingchuan nodded, stuffed the remaining candy into his mouth and chewed it hard.

After several days of rescue efforts, the flash flood was finally under control.

Because they arrived in time, most of the villagers' houses were saved and there were few casualties.

The rainfall has decreased, and there should be no more major flash floods in the future. Lu Jingchuan explained the precautions to the village chief and prepared to take the team back.

Ji Xiaoxi and Jiang Qin waited at home day after day. As the rain got heavier, their hearts grew heavier.

I'm always worried that something might happen if it rains heavily.

Later, the rain subsided, but their depressed hearts did not relax.

Fortunately, no news has been received about what happened in the past few days, and those injured soldiers who were sent back early also said that nothing serious happened.

Mother Du smiled and comforted them, "Don't overthink it, there are so many of them, how could anything possibly happen to them.

Jiang Qin, you are pregnant, don't be too anxious, it's not good for the baby."
