Chapter 1497

8 p.m.

Xize town primary school.

When Gu Chen took the team to send the three old people ashore, everyone stopped searching and stayed in Xize town for a rest.

At this time, officer Wang also rushed to Xize town primary school with other personnel, and all the rescue teams of Furong Branch gathered at this moment.

On the other hand, many blue sky rescue teams, fire rescue teams and some armed police soldiers involved in the rescue also returned to the only gathering point in Xize town.

At this moment, there was a light rain in the sky and the wind gradually subsided.

However, due to the power failure in Xize Town, a large number of people need to be transferred, so there is still an endless stream of heavy trucks between Xize town and the outside world.

"Here comes the supplies again. Let's help unload the truck." I don't know where there was a cry. With the help of the heavy truck light, many rescue team members just lay on the ground to rest for a while, but they stood up and walked directly to the vehicle transporting the supplies.

Everyone spontaneously stood in a row to form a human conveyor belt.

Due to the large number of people stranded in Xize primary school, it is not easy to safely transfer all the people outside.

According to the meaning of the headquarters, Xize primary school is temporarily used as a temporary resettlement site for the temporary resettlement of local residents.

At the same time, a large number of materials are transported to provide material support for the resettlement site in Xize town.

Several diesel generators are the source of power here.

But even so, the environment is quite bad.

For all heavy trucks transporting materials, a group of personnel shall be transported out after unloading the materials.

"It's hard. Drink some water and eat something."

Not far away, a man is distributing food supplies to many rescue workers.

But Gu Chen, who has master observation, soon recognized that this was the voice of his father Gu Baichuan.

When realizing all this, Gu Chen quickly stood up, took two steps towards the man, and then shouted, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Son?" Gu Baichuan, carrying all kinds of materials, was stunned when he saw his son Gu Chen.

Father and son looked at each other on both sides and felt a little surprised.

Gu Baichuan punched Gu Chen on his left shoulder and complained on his face: "you kid, you lied to me. Just now you sent a text message to me saying that you have been staying at Furong Branch, which reassured me. Don't worry about your safety. You lied to me? You just ran to Xize town for rescue and disaster relief?"

"Aren't you afraid?" Gu Chen felt that his "lie" had been exposed, and he was embarrassed to scratch the back of his head.

But looking back, Gu Chen also looked puzzled: "no, Dad, didn't you also tell me in your text message that you have been staying at home and watching the store? Then how did you appear here?"

"I... I..."

Gu Baichuan felt embarrassed by his son's opposition to the general.

But looking at his son's puzzled eyes, he didn't hold back. He puffed and laughed and said, "well, don't pretend. I'm here to be a volunteer."

"Seeing news reports, Xize town has been seriously affected and supplies have become a little scarce."

"So I didn't think too much. I immediately called a truck to free some materials from our warehouse to help solve the problem of material shortage."

"So we donated all the materials of this truck?" Gu Chen was also surprised.

Gu Baichuan nodded with a smile and admitted: "yes, this whole truck of materials is our free donation."

"Don't you get a banner or something? At least give yourself an advertisement." a fire brigade commander said with emotion while eating the food and water sent by Gu Baichuan.

Gu Baichuan grinned: "I'm here to support the disaster area in Xize town. I'm here as a volunteer. I didn't think too much. I wanted to deliver the materials early. Banners and other things took too much time."

Turning around and looking behind him, Gu Baichuan, a fat middle-aged man, directly brought the fat man to him and introduced him to the public:

"The driver, as soon as I called the car, he donated materials to Xize town. He didn't even want my fare. He directly helped load the materials."

"Thank you, thank you." seeing this, another armed police major also stepped forward and shook hands with Gu Baichuan and the driver, saying:

"If you hadn't sent so many materials in time at the risk of your life, it is estimated that the average person here tonight would not even have a bottle of water."

"Your cart of goods has been delivered, but it has solved our urgent need."

"Yes." eating the French bread in his hand, another leader of the blue sky rescue team also said gratefully:

"We had a hard day today, but there was a serious shortage of drinking water. The team members gave food and water to the affected people. Many people haven't drunk a mouthful of water since the morning. Your car of materials was delivered in time."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness. What do you do? We can help you publicize it."

"You have to leave a name for doing good? What do you call brother?"

……

In an instant, all the rescue team members who received food and water immediately surrounded Gu Baichuan and the fat driver, and also wanted to express their gratitude.

Gu Baichuan smiled and said, "I am an ordinary citizen of Jiangnan City. I have done something I should do. One side has difficulties and all sides support. We are all Chinese people, so we should help each other."

"Well said." just then, Lu Weiwei saw that the visitor was Gu Chen's father. She immediately came over and said hello: "Uncle Gu, you really solved everyone's urgent need. You deserve to be Gu Chen's father."

"Yes." seeing this, officer Wang also stepped forward and said with a smile: "my son is here to participate in disaster relief, and my father also brought relief materials and came here to be a volunteer. Thank you for your dedication."

The voice fell. Officer Wang saluted and thanked Gu Baichuan.

In an instant, all police officers, armed police soldiers, fire rescue team soldiers and blue sky rescue team soldiers followed officer Wang and saluted Gu Baichuan.

This made Gu Baichuan a little embarrassed. He also hurriedly pressed his hands and joked with a smile: "don't do this, everyone. I'm here to be a volunteer. You're so polite. I'm very embarrassed."

"Being a good man is afraid of being exposed." Bai Xiaolan and photographer Wu Jun, who don't know where they came out, came directly to the crowd.

"Uncle Gu, you've done a good deed and delivered a truck full of materials without banners. It's too bad for you."

"Even if you don't play banners, we'll help you publicize it. Is that the truth?"

Bai Xiaolan said, and the photographer Wu Jun at the other end also turned on the camera.

Seeing that the visitor was from the TV station, Gu Baichuan was even more embarrassed. He could only giggle at the camera and say, "we Chinese have always had a tradition of one side having difficulties and all sides supporting. I'm just a member of ordinary citizens."

"Now our home has been hit hard because of the bad typhoon weather. As a member of Jiangnan City, we should always stand up and contribute our part."

Glancing at Gu Chen, he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei laughing over their mouths.

Gu Baichuan, also embarrassed, continued to organize language and replied, "the situation in Xize town is still very serious. I just asked and found that there is still a shortage of materials here."

"So I am here, through Jiangnan TV station, to appeal that a large number of daily necessities, including women's and children's supplies, are needed here."

"Because I run a non-staple food supermarket, most of the goods delivered are food and water, but this can't solve many problems here."

After a pause, Gu Baichuan, who looked nervous, also continued: "so, I appeal to you to pay more attention to Xize town."

"I also heard that there is a lot of pressure on the side of Xize reservoir and it is still discharging flood. It needs a lot of people to be transferred, especially some engineering vehicles. Here, I hope you can help..."

Gu Baichuan's eloquence didn't say, but he had never seen so many people watching him, so he was a little nervous.

But Gu Baichuan basically described the situation in Xize Town, so that Bai Xiaolan wanted to continue to interview other rescue team leaders.

But now it seems that Gu Baichuan has answered everything he should say.

"OK, thank you again for Mr. Gu's emotional donation. Thank you for your support to the disaster area in Xize town. Thank you."

At the end of the interview, Bai Xiaolan also had a heavy airway: "I didn't expect uncle Gu to say so."

"Ha ha, I'm too nervous. I'm sorry." Gu Baichuan scratched the back of his head, took the supplies from the fat driver, and sent bread and water to Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun

"You shouldn't eat much either. Take it first and have a full stomach."

"Thank you, uncle Gu." Bai Xiaolan happily took the food and water from Gu Baichuan and directly sat on the steps of Xize primary school with everyone, enjoying a rare dinner for a short time.

At this time, Gu Chen found that the middle-aged man rescued from the other side of the river during the day was also sitting there enjoying dinner, so he went to him and sat down side by side with the man.

The middle-aged man turned to Gu Chen and was stunned. Then he recognized Gu Chen and grinned: "Comrade police, it's you? I really want to thank you for saving me from home today."

"Yes." Gu Chen took a bite of bread and asked curiously, "today, we searched near the village for a long time and didn't find the old man. I'm worried about his safety now."

"Really?" the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't know the old man very well. The old man usually comes and goes alone. His two sons are out of town."

"Every new year's festival, I will come back for the new year. I don't even have a personal movie at ordinary times."

"Aren't you from the same village? Why don't you know each other?"

While Gu Chen was communicating with the man, Lu Weiwei came over from another place and asked curiously.

The man smiled and said, "in fact, I'm not from this village."

"You're not from this village?" Lu Weiwei suddenly stared and said, "then why are you there?"

"My wife is from this village," said the middle-aged man.

Lu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, but also had some bad airway: "can you speak completely? There is no sentence."

"Ha ha." the man smiled bitterly, and then took a sip of mineral water.

Gu Chen thought deeply with his bread and asked, "is there anyone in your village who knows the old man better?"

"Well... Yes, but I'm not sure." the middle-aged man shook his head.

Lu Weiwei asked, "what about your family? Where have they all gone? Why did you stay at home alone?"

In fact, Lu Weiwei had always wanted to ask. After all, Xize reservoir began to discharge flood. The villagers were the first to be notified and the earliest to organize evacuation.

But when everyone went to search, they found that the middle-aged man stayed at home alone. Therefore, Lu Weiwei felt very curious and even doubted whether the man was a resident of the village.

The middle-aged man looked up and smiled bitterly: "I would have evacuated early. If my wife hadn't said that there were still many valuables to be transferred at home, in case the house was washed down by the flood, there would be nothing."

"So I can't help it. The water didn't rise fast at that time."

Pointed to his waist position: "right here, water can overflow my waist. When I crossed the bridge, I went straight back home and sorted out all the things my wife wanted to bring."

"But there was no concept of time at that time. When I went out again, I found that the flood had overflowed my chest."

"If you evacuate with these big and small bags, maybe everyone will be washed away, and the bridge when you come over will also be submerged by the flood at that time, which is very dangerous."

With a deep breath, the middle-aged man also said helplessly, "I have no choice, so I have to hide at home and see if there is a rescue team coming the next day."

"If so, follow the rescue team, and then I met you."

"You are lucky to meet us, or you will be really unlucky." when seeing a middle-aged man so frank, Lu Weiwei also make complaints about it.

But Gu Chen has been thinking about the whereabouts of the old man.

You know, when we went to the village to carry out the search task, we all saw an old man in coir raincoat and hat sitting on the roof.

But in a twinkling of an eye, the old man disappeared and there was no one inside or outside, which surprised Gu Chen.

But the surrounding waters searched for several times, but no trace of the old man was found.

Therefore, Gu Chen's heart has been unable to let go.

Standing up, Gu Chen directly asked the local residents behind him, "do any of you live on the other side of the river?"

The voice fell, and soon there was a weak response.

A middle-aged woman with a child raised her hand and replied, "Comrade police, my family lives in the village across the river."

"Are you from the village?" Gu Chen stood up and hurried to the woman.

Lu Weiwei saw this and followed closely.

The middle-aged woman held her child and nodded silently. "Yes, I'm from the village. What's the matter, comrade police?"

"That's great." Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside the woman. "There's an old house over there, near the river."

As it was dark, Gu Chen could only point out a general direction.

The middle-aged woman nodded silently, "I know, I know what you're talking about. What's the matter?"

"There is an old man living there. Do you know him well?" Lu Weiwei quickly added.

The middle-aged woman grinned: "that old man? Familiar, from a village."

"Great," Gu Chen continued after a short pause. "Today, we found the old man sitting there in coir raincoat and hat on the roof of his house."

"But when we got there, we found that the old man had disappeared. We searched inside and outside several times, but there was still no whereabouts."

"Now we suspect that he was washed away by the flood. We just don't know how water he is. Can he save himself?"

"Ah? So?" hearing Gu Chen's words, the middle-aged woman hesitated and said weakly:

"I remember that old man is good at swimming. Many people in the village learned swimming from him."

"And some swimming clubs in the city even wanted to invite him to be a safety officer, but he liked to be quiet, so he didn't go."

"You said he could swim?" Lu Weiwei stared at the woman and said, "do you think he can survive if he falls into the water?"

"Are you kidding?" the middle-aged woman also chuckled and said, "I didn't say that he is good at water. If he falls into the water, he should be able to save himself. After all, people can swim."

"So?" Lu Weiwei smelled the speech and looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen is also relieved at the moment.

If according to the middle-aged woman, the old man has a good water nature, he should be able to save himself once he falls into the water.

But what Gu Chen didn't quite understand was that everyone was nearby at that time, but why didn't he hear the old man?

At that time, everyone drove a kayak slowly close to the old man sitting on the roof, and he must be able to see it.

But why not take the initiative to say hello to the rescue team, but disappear silently?

In Gu Chen's opinion, this is very strange, and even some are not in line with common sense.

But what if it's the old man's character?

Thinking of this, Gu Chen continued to ask, "what's the character of the old man? Is he a very dull person?"

"No." the middle-aged woman smiled faintly and said, "he is very nice, very warm, personality... He is also very cheerful and likes to communicate with people."

Dislike, I grew up in the village, and when I was a child, I especially make complaints about his various Tucao. I feel that his mouth is like Gatlin's machine gun. When he opens the box, he can't stop.

"How about getting along with others?" Gu Chen asked again.

"It's also very good. Anyway, it's very enthusiastic..."

The middle-aged woman still explained what she knew to Gu Chen.

At this moment, Gu Chen is also confused.

How could such a cheerful old man with good water quality suddenly disappear?

If it disappeared, where would it go?

Moreover, the current at that time was not turbulent, and the old man could connect with the rescue team.

Thinking of these, Gu Chen looked at the direction of the dark village again, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
