Chapter 194 Rescue from Water
You can imagine how difficult it is to rescue people in a flood without a speedboat, a lifebuoy, and it’s raining.
But the people of Daqing had their own wisdom. They chose a place with a relatively gentle current, and when they saw someone struggling in the water or holding onto driftwood, they would use a rope to lasso them...
The royal guards may not be very good at fighting, but they are unrivalled in horseback archery. Hitting the target with a single strike was a must-do performance during festivals when they were young, and they are all experts at it.
However, the water is flowing fast, and even if you trap someone, it is very difficult to pull them out.
At this time, the villagers of Yejia Village played the role of strength in numbers.
They were like boat trackers, tied to each other and then to the big trees on the mountain. To be on the safe side, they even tied to a different tree for every person they rescued.
The first person to be rescued was a child of about ten years old, wearing a rough grey linen shirt. He was washed down with his body stiff, holding a piece of driftwood. It was unknown how long he had been in the water. His face was frighteningly pale, and when his philtrum was checked, his breathing was so weak that he had stopped.
"First soak in warm water to warm the body, then change into dry and warm clothes, then tuck the person into the quilt, and wait for Doctor Peng to come and take the pulse." The wife of the head of the village directed everyone to carry out the rescue in an orderly manner.
In terms of rescue experience, Ye Wan and the others must stand aside. First, they are young and lack life experience, and second, they have never experienced a real natural disaster and lack the courage to deal with it.
Therefore, the person in charge of the overall situation at present is Aunt Hehua. She is also the wife of the village head and has her own prestige among the women.
After the first one was rescued, the second one came soon...both ends of the mountain were busy.
Changhua County is also a busy scene nowadays.
In addition to the yamen runners, there were also soldiers who came to the city to provide disaster relief.
Changhua County has a high terrain, but many houses were flooded, and because of the continuous heavy rainfall, the city was seriously flooded.
When the water level rose rapidly, they used their flesh and blood to save everyone they could.
However, it is impossible to take care of everything relying on manpower alone. Changhua County is an inland city, and there is not even a decent boat to be found. Everything depends on human hands.
Looking at the exhausted people on the rooftops, they were helpless and could only watch and worry.
The rain not only did not stop, but it was getting heavier. Except for a few areas in the city, the rest of the city was like a submerged beast, posing all kinds of dangers at any time.
"Fortunately, the third place winner notified us in advance, otherwise the general's army would have been wiped out."
In between rescuing the people, some officers and soldiers said with emotion that some of them were rehearsing recently, and more than 3,000 brothers were now scattered to various places for disaster relief.
When they thought of the scene where Ye Laoer threatened the general with a sword, they felt a chill on their necks.
If anyone says that scholars are weak, he will definitely argue with them.
"It is also because Changhua has outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It takes three years for Daqing to produce a third place winner, and this year one appeared here. It is really a blessing for the people."
"I heard that a county lady appeared here, and she was said to be like a fairy from heaven. Why didn't she show up this time?"
Then, someone slapped her on the back, "The third place winner is the county lady's brother. At this time, her silence is the greatest help. If someone else takes over, can we still save people here?"
"I heard from the general that the county lady is really on the royal jade plate."
The soldier who had taken the photo said as he stuffed coarse grains into his mouth and swallowed them dryly. There was no other way. The city was full of water, and meat and vegetables were out of reach. The only reason he could eat was because the scholar was kind.
They were still lucky, as they still had military rations. Most of the people in the city also had some life-saving food. The most difficult were the refugees... It was good to be exhausted from hunger, and being alive was a blessing.
There were also a small number of people in the city who once said that the national teacher was just trying to attract attention, but now they are regretting it so much that it is too late to slap their thighs.
"My quilt, my food, my money... now they are all gone."
"Oh my God, please stop raining. If you continue, we will really die..."
Those who were originally housed in the Taoist temple, looking at the rushing flood, all knelt down and kowtowed to thank County Magistrate Lu.
If it weren't for Magistrate Lu's insistence, they would have built a simple awning outside the city at best. How could they stay dry and wait for relief food?
The worst and most devastated are those who are rushing on their way downstream. It was just a moment and nothing happened.
I only had time to hold on to the trees or other things around me, and even my packed luggage was washed away.
Many people were swept away by the flood...
The heavy rain lasted for three days, and even Wang had to move from the first floor to the top three floors in the city.
The heavy rain finally slowed down on the fourth day, and the flooding in the city finally receded. The streets that were once flooded gradually revealed the devastated ruins.
The walls of the shops on the street were covered with mud, and the ground was also covered with thick mud and sand.
When walking, if you don't use a stick to explore the road first, when you step down, you don't know whether the next step will be a stone or a corpse.
Helplessness, despair and wailing can be heard everywhere in the city, as people lose their relatives and friends, and lose their property.
The rain has been falling for too long...everything has changed.
Fortunately, no houses collapsed in the city, and the number of casualties, if any, was only a small number.
Most people were rational and took advantage of the rain to clean up their houses and muddy yards.
But there are also some people who want to take advantage of the situation.
At this time, the Ye Family Clinic, which opened for business the first time, was particularly eye-catching.
The doctor's current challenge is not to save lives, but to identify who are dead and who can still be saved.
There were tall and mighty soldiers standing at the entrance of the clinic, and those who came in and out to get medicine were all yamen runners...
The first person who failed to achieve his goal and wanted to make a scene was thrown into the rain with his body, and the yamen runners came to his door to warn him with gongs and drums.
All relatives related to this person within three generations will be put on the blacklist of Ye Family Clinic for the next three months and will no longer be accepted.
With this method of collective punishment, in just half a day, Chinese medicine clinics in the city began to open their doors one after another.
The clinic opened its doors, and those places selling food also started selling things with the persuasion and help of the yamen runners.
The third business to resume operations is the inn, mainly depending on everyone's demand.
Some people's houses are temporarily uninhabitable, and some people are particular about...
As more and more commercial shops returned to normal, if it weren't for the soldiers walking back and forth on the streets and the rain falling from the sky, everyone would have felt dazed, as if the flood had been a long time ago.
