In fact, Gu Yusheng and Ye Yulan were not the only ones who were looking around after the false alarm.
For safety considerations, after the change of the flood discharge plan, the evacuated local residents did not leave the temporary site immediately, but rested in place, and made arrangements after feedback from the upstream and downstream.
Some families with the elderly and children have tried to set up a small stove next to the tent to cook some food or boil some hot water. The middle-aged people can still support their bodies, but the elderly and children are struggling.
Those who went to get purified water, those who went to move the stove and kettle, and those who went to exchange some food with the neighbors next to them.
In addition, those who have not loosened their brows and can't help but start looking.
The time for evacuation was tight, and people only had time to bring the most important things around them, maybe a photo, maybe two small bowls, and other important things, but they couldn't take them.
Under the pressure of life-saving, these emotions can only be suppressed forcibly, not daring to add chaos to the large army.
Now, there is no need to blow up the river reservoir, and the homes can be kept, and these anxious people can't wait to find them.
"Huahua, my Huahua? Come, let me cook your bones!"
"Has anyone seen a trolley? It belongs to my old mother. Her legs and feet are inconvenient. She walked too fast just now and she carried it on her back. The trolley was thrown on the side of the road. Has anyone seen it?"
"Dad, I want to go home and take out the watermelon. It is given to outstanding students by the school. I want to go and take it out."
Different reasons, different voices, only the expression was the same, and Gu Yusheng and Ye Yulan were sandwiched between them, which was not abrupt.
Bai Hefei and Lin Qing, who followed closely, also asked around, and at the same time, they were also asked around.
Bai Hefei also saw two junior high school children with red eyes, looking for their sheep everywhere. It was raised by the two of them as a gift for my sister-in-law to enter university. When I evacuated just now, I didn't have time to take it with me, and I was already crying. all the way.
Now when they heard that the water would not come, they couldn't sit still immediately, and they ran out of the temporary spot together, looking for their sheep everywhere.
Of course, in the haste of the evacuation, there must be many "searches" that are doomed to failure, especially some people who were forced to leave their objects behind. Come.
Even some children wiped away their tears with their arms and hugged their broken dolls tightly. They were obviously very sad, but they also pretended that it was okay to comfort their parents, saying that it would be okay to go home and wash and mend it.
"Hua Tang!"
"Sweet Shrimp!"
Gu Yusheng and Ye Yulan separated in two directions, taking advantage of their height advantage over others, and kept asking, even if their voices were hoarse.
"Is it a dog in a rescue vest? I've seen it. In the second tent over there, there are a few people from the People's Liberation Army!"
Fortunately, people have a natural recognition of the orange vest representing rescue and the army green uniform representing trust. Soon someone saw the sweet shrimp and pointed the way to Gu Yusheng and the others.
Previously on the edge of the cliff, Gu Yusheng was not sure if they could save Teacher Pan and the others before the flood washed away here, so Hua Tang and Tian Xia were asked to bring the three young people who were obviously unable to hold on and were still gnashing their teeth here. go back.
They were all soldiers who worked hard day and night to strengthen the embankment for more than ten hours. Their character was trustworthy. It was safer for Huatang and Tian Xia to be by their side.
Sure enough, when the sky was dark and the wind was blowing up, the soldiers closest to the sweet shrimp squatted down on the spot, and worked together to sandwich the sweet shrimp in the middle, so that the dog would not run away in a panic, or be trampled and kicked by others.
If there is a riot in the crowd, there may be serious injuries due to stampede, let alone a dog, which is even more dangerous.
Wanting to return to Gu Yusheng's side, conflicted with the task of finding Sister Ye with him, and Gouzi, who was in a dilemma, had no time to make a choice, so he was taken to a safe place by three soldiers, and Tian Xia was put on standby, and they went to find Gu Yusheng .
As a dog who was born in the army and a former military dog Miaozi, Tian Xia has a high affection for people in camouflage uniforms. Outside the tent, there are people coming and going, noisy and chaotic, and the dog can only be obedient temporarily, waiting for Gu Yusheng to find him.
"Hey?!" Tian Xia, who was waiting obediently just now, suddenly shook his ears, rushed out of the tent, startled the soldier who was boiling water next to him, and almost threw the pot out.
After chasing it out, it was found that the sweet shrimp was bouncing and jumping around a tall man, and the big one was also acting like a baby, and it stopped after being hugged by the whole body, wagging its tail like a windshield wiper.
No need to ask, it is the owner at first glance, and the owner's footsteps can be heard from a distance, otherwise it would not be so cheerful.
"Hello, besides this dog, have you seen a cat? It's black, and it's also wearing a rescue vest."
When Tian Xia rushed towards him but couldn't see Huatang's shadow, Gu Yusheng's heart couldn't help sinking. The little black cat likes to squat on his shoulders and runs faster than Tian Xia every time, but now he can't see him. After arriving at Maoying, let him hug Sweet Shrimp, and then go up to ask the soldiers who stayed in the tent.
"Cat?"
"Yes, he also wore a search and rescue vest and stayed with the dog."
Gu Yusheng seemed a little anxious. He didn't see the three soldiers who were brought back by Tian Xia before, and his brows frowned even tighter.
Compared with search and rescue cats, search and rescue dogs are more common, so the voluntary search and rescue team brought a search and rescue cat and a search and rescue dog, and also rescued many trapped people in other places. It's quite open.
The young man who stayed in the tent had never seen Gu Yusheng, but he had heard of the cat and dog. He asked Gu Yusheng and Tian Xia to enter the tent, and he immediately contacted his comrades.
Soon, Gu Yusheng and the others knew that Huatang had left suddenly on the way back.
"The cat was running back, but suddenly it went back. The dog wanted to catch up, but the cat got aggressive."
The soldier who spoke had a guilty expression on his face. They didn't catch up with Huatang and let the black cat run away. If they went to look for it now, they didn't see the cat either.
Gu Yusheng and Bai Hefei who came after him didn't look very good. Others might think that the cat was frightened and hid in a nearby place, but they knew very well that Huatang would not return for no reason.
"Xiaobai, you bring the sweet shrimp, I'll go find Sister Ye."
If you still had doubts just now, Gu Yusheng is sure now that when the sky is dark and the wind is the strongest, the fluffy touch on his forehead is the tip of Huatang's tail.
Even Huatang might be the one who tied the rescue rope tightly to stop the wind and rain.
No one knows Huatang's "specialness" better than Ye Yusheng and Gu Yusheng. How could a black cat that can disappear at any time be an ordinary fluffy cat? There's nothing mystical about it.
When Gu Yusheng found Ye Yusheng and told about Huatang's abnormal behavior, Sister Ye's complexion also became very bad. She pulled Xiao Gu aside and directly talked about the transfer cat.
Where did Huatang go, or in other words, what did Huatang pay for the flood receding
Ye Yulan seldom lost her composure, but this time, her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Huatang had been by her side since she was a kitten ball, and turned into a chubby one, who would admit to being cowardly Make a coquettish voice.
She can choose to give and insist on something by herself, but it is difficult to accept what Huatang has done for a cat.
"Sister Ye, Huatang is definitely still there." Gu Yusheng patted Sister Ye's arm, telling her to calm down first, and then took out the necklace and pendant that he always carried with him.
This one was given to him by Ye Yulan, there were only two of them in total, and inside were the baby teeth that Huatang had replaced.
Because she has small deciduous teeth, she can always see through Huatang's online messages and grab them to weigh them, so Huatang is not happy when she sees the pendant, and even tries to throw it away with her claws.
In order to prevent Huatang from succeeding, Gu Yusheng and Ye Yulan took the pendant with them. After the two of them took it out, they saw the tooth marks of Huatang's repeated failures on it, and their emotions stabilized a little.
"Xiao Gu, Huatang will be fine, right?"
"Well, there must be somewhere waiting for us to find her."
Therefore, the scope of searching is no longer limited to the vicinity of Little Crescent Moon and her family's village, and the entire river downstream is the target.
Bai Hefei and Lin Qing didn't know about the transfer cat, but they believed that Huatang was a cat that wouldn't run around, so she must be waiting for them somewhere.
In addition to Gu Yusheng and the others, Teacher Pan also brought some folks to help. She also had a deep impression of Huatang, and she didn't want the little black cat to be swept away by the flood.
Moreover, Teacher Pan has always doubted herself a little bit, that is, after the bridge was broken, she seemed to see Hua Tang appearing in mid-air, as if she could fly.
Mr. Pan, who is lame, may have some mobility difficulties, but he is still very familiar with the local river tidal flats, and it is not too troublesome to find them one after another. He also mobilized relatives and friends he knew to ask if anyone saw a black cat.
It may have been swept away by the flood. I don’t know if the rescue vest I was wearing is still there, but the cat is round and easy to recognize.
At that time, the two soldiers who were trapped on the edge of the cliff did not delay the reconstruction task, and they also took time to help find the cat. They all had a high degree of favor with the search and rescue dogs. Even if they knew that a cat was involved in the flood, the possibility of finding it was not Great, and don't really want to give up.
The more people who know what a disaster is, the less they want to give up any life. Even some villagers who have left the temporary point one after another, after knowing that the search and rescue team lost a rescue cat, they are trying to find ways to help.
Even after searching for two days, more and more people gave up their hopes. They were worried that after the cat had been swept away and there were no bones left, Gu Yusheng and Ye Yulan still didn't want to give up. The pendant, I always feel that Huatang is waiting for them there.
How could the fortune cat disappear so easily? No, Huatang is definitely fine.
"It will be found, it will be found."
Not only Gu Yusheng and Ye Yulan, but also Bai Hefei and Lin Qing firmly believed that they would definitely find Huatang.
Similarly, people in the entire Jiuzhou community, and everyone who knew Huatang on the Internet, after knowing that the rescue cat was washed away by the flood, firmly believed that they would definitely find it.
Mao Mao, who can find so many trapped people and give so much hope, deserves to be found.
So, Gu Yusheng and the others searched for a mountain stream separated by two river bends, and some small spots of light appeared from all directions, and they slowly pieced together, so that the transfer cat that was exchanged was brought back by concern and obsession again. .
Soon, a fair-skinned girl in a black dress was lying on the riverside in a somewhat embarrassed posture, awkward and powerless, frightened by her new appearance, then paused for three seconds, and stretched out her hand to slap the water fiercely.
For a really vicious cat, you have to take revenge first, fight with the water for three minutes, and then think about why you have become so weird!
