I… I feel like I’m going tod.,, die!”
Beside Wang Ye, Peng Yu Hang sat there motionlessly , mumbling weakly.
For those who didn’t know what the sound meant would think that he was about to pass away.
But in reality, he was just exhausted.
At noon, they had just finished a rescue mission when news of a broken dam came from the neighbouring city.
Box Novel.comAt that time, everyone was very anxious. The regiment commander even called to request for assistance.
But in the end, the Iron Bones Heroes’ were not needed.
It wasn’t because they had just finished their rescue mission and needed to rest or anything.
It was because the reservoir above them was ready to release water, but the water level of the river below was still rising because of the heavy rain today.
if the flood was released now, many places downstream where the dam didn’t cover would overflow directly causing it to break.
Since ancient times, gardeners had the habit of living along rhe river.
Because river transportation was an important transportation route in the past, it was easy to develop their crops along the river.
Although modern city construction did not pay much attention to this, many towns did not change their residential areas.
Under such circumstances, if the dam really broke or even flooded, who knew how many houses and plantations along the river would be flooded and how many people would be affected.
Therefore, the Iron Bones Heroes’ accepted the new order.
The entire regiment took companies as units and followed the river downstream of the reservoir. According to the key protection points marked by the flood control headquarters above, they went to the scene to reinforce and raise the embankment.
The sky was gradually turning dark. In a stressful afternoon, the Fourth Company cooperated with the local young and middle-aged villagers who volunteered to stay behind to protect their homes. They reinforced and raised the river embankment that was nearly two kilometres long.
The first stage was finally over.
The order came, and everyone could rest for the time being.
Immediately, no one cared about anything else.
On this muddy river bank, with their backs against the sandbags that had just been piled up, everyone sat down on the ground, listening to the sound of the torrential rain behind them.
Everyone was too tired.
Even Wang Ye, who had twice the physical strength of an ordinary person, didn’t want to move his fingers after sitting down.
After all, because he was physically stronger, he did more work than the others.
He wasn’t slacking off at any time.
He was really using as much strength as he could.
For the entire afternoon, Wang Ye didn’t know how much sand he had dug up and packed into bags, nor did he know how many bags of sand he had carried to strengthen the river embankment
it was very tiring, but Wang Ye could still laugh.
Because the reinforced and raised river embankment blocked the flood that was released.
Looking at his comrades who was sitting motionlessly on the side and listening to Peng Yu Hang’s weak voice, Wang Ye turned his head and said with a weak smile,”You… If you really die. I’ll go back and smoke the cigarette you hid in your diary!”
Peng Yu Hang turned his head and smiled weakly with his face covered in mud “Don’t worry, Brother Wang, I… I’m still breathing!”
Phew, it’s too tough. This is the hardest time I’ve been in my years as a soldier.”
On Wang Ye’s right, rhe person sitting now was nor his comrade from Class Eight.
During the flood fighting and emergency rescue, how could everyone care about the establishment of the system? Where did they need to run to? Now that they had stopped, everyone naturally could not find their own squads and platoons.
Hey, quick, get up, get up. After such intense fatigue, how can you just sit in this muddy water and get drenched in the rain? This iron man will fall sick sooner or later…
All of you get up, quick, quick, help carry these children!
Along the river bank, an old villager in a raincoat ran over and shouted.
The local young adults were basically fighting rhe flood together, but the women, children, and the elderly were arranged to evacuate in case the river bank collapsed.
But now, there were some old people and women coming over.
They knew that the work here was about to end, so they were prepared to call everyone down for dinner.
Indeed, we can’t. Let’s get up!”
Wang Ye didn’t really wait for them to come over to help him. In fact, they couldn’t help him either.
There were two to three hundred people on the river bank. How could they lift so many people with just ten to twenty elderly women?
However, now that they had shouted, everyone forced themselves to hold their breath and slowly stood up with rhe help of rhe sandbags behind them.
Boom! Boom!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky.
When the lightning flashed, the already dark sky flashed white for an instance.
Wang Ye and the others did not react.
They was already used to it.
The rain kept falling, and the thunder kept rumbling.
Ln the beginning, Wang Ye was afraid that he would be struck by lightning when he was working.
But now, he just did whatever he wanted.
Come, come…This is my house. Go in and have a seat. Have a break. The food will be sent over soon!”
in front of the two-and-a-half-story bungalow, eight people from Class Eight followed the woman to the main entrance.
After the owner of the house opened the door with the key, she warmly invited Wang Ye and the others in.
However, Wang Ye and the others looked at each other and then stood under the awnings without moving.
As the class monitor, Zhou Qi said,’1 Sister, we’ll just stand under the awnings. Anyway, we can shelter from the rain under it. We’ll leave after dinner. We won’t go in and dirty your house!1“‘
The first thing they did when they came here was to strengthen and raise the embankment. Even the cooks did the same.
This was because everyone had originally planned to ear military rations at night.
However, after the local villagers found out, they did not agree. Then, they directly organised for the evacuated women to cook.
They couldn’t eat outside because it was raining outside, so they temporarily used some houses closest to rhe river bank.
He asked the villagers to bring these soldiers to their house to shelter from the rain, eat, and to rest.
Wang Ye and the others followed this woman into her house.
However, the house looked very new and beautiful. Even the floor inside felt very bright when it was opened.
Not only were Wang Ye and rhe others drenched, but they were also covered in dirt. If rhey walked in, they would definitely dirty rhe floor.
What are you talking about?
if you guys hadn’t come, my house wouldn’t have been clean either, it would have been flooded.
Go in, go in!”
She had a straight face.
Wang Ye and the others were a little embarrassed, but in the end, they relented and entered the house.
However, he was only standing in the hall.
They’ll send the food over, but 1 still have snacks and fruits at home. I’ll go get them for you!”
She was exceptionally enthusiastic. Even with Wang Ye and rhe others saying ,”No need!’”‘
However, she went upstairs ignoring them.
In the morning, rhey had already issued an evacuation notice. Before they left, everyone automatically moved everything from the first to the second floor.
“This house is designed well. When can my house be like this? I think my house s door will be kicked to pieces by the matchmaker!’1 Peng Yu Hang muttered softly.
Wang Ye turned his head around and looked around.
it was indeed not bad, although it could not compare to his villa in the county town.
However, Wang Ye estimated that he would definitely nor be able to buy this house with 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Hehe, it’s not difficult. Work hard and become a sergeant. Then, you can work for three more terms. That way, when you retire from the army, your retirement allowance will be enough for you to afford a better house! “Zhtio Zi Cheng chuckled softly.
Wang Ye was about to tease Peng Yu Hang and ask him if he had a girl he liked in his hometown.
However, suddenly
Bang bang bang
A series of hurried footsteps could be heard from the stairs where the elder sister had gone up.
The big sister, who had been happily going upstairs, ran down with a panicked expression.
When she saw Wang Ye and the others, she immediately shouted.
Oh no! I’ve been robbed!
Hmm?’1 The eyes of Wang Ye and the others widened.
Sister, are you sure?” Zhou Qi asked in disbelief.
At this time, there was actually a thief taking advantage of the situation?
No, it was a robbery in the flood.
I’m sure. I locked rhe balcony door upstairs, bur it’s been pried open now. There are also many footprints on the floor upstairs.””
Let’s go!
&
Without a word, Wang Ye called our and took the lead to rush towards the stairs.
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about dirtying other people s houses and floors.
Following the stairs that rhe big sister came down from, Wang Ye stepped up a few stairs at a rime.
Then, a situation that quickly dumbfounded Wang Ye appeared.
On the bed of the master bedroom on rhe second floor, a man with a moustache was lying there.
There was an open bottle of liquor in his left hand and some snacks on him.
A series of snores could be heard.
This guy was obviously sleeping soundly.
Ah! Li San Er, I’ll beat you to death!
The big sister who came up again after Wang Ye and the others went berserk.
She felt like her lungs were about to explode.
She recognised the person on the bed. He was a well-known lazy man in the village. He usually survived by stealing. Today, even though he was nor there to fight the flood, everyone did not notice, even though he was also a man in his thirties or forties.
However, no one in rhe village would look for him if they wanted work to be done.
Moreover, even if he really went to look for them, with his personality, he definitely wouldn’t come ro help out.
However, she did not expect that he would come to her house without seeing her while she was working. He had even climbed up rhe building and entered through rhe door. Moreover, he even dared to lie on her bed and drink her husband’s precious liquor.
The big sister went up and punched and kicked him.
Ah ~ Aiyo, aiyo!
The drunk man on rhe bed was woken up by the slaps. Seeing the slaps in front of him, he hurriedly rolled out of rhe bed.
At this moment, he was also cursing in his heart.
Why is this woman back? Didn’t she say that everyone here was to evacuate and no one was allowed to stay?
At the same time, he was also cursing this wine. It was really strong. After drinking a few mouthfuls, it actually made him drunk…
He rolled around in a panic. He was prepared to hide from the woman on the other side of rhe bed and run away after he got up.
However, he soon felt that something was wrong.
Why were there people on the bed, and there were several of them?
