Su Mian and others did not dare to delay, so they grabbed the fellow villagers and rushed directly towards the village where the accident occurred.
"It was here that the mother and two sons were trapped in the house. Boss Zhang followed Political Commissar Wu to repair the dam and escaped."
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the villagers and saw that a house was filled with mud and the roof had been lifted off.
The People's Liberation Army is digging hard with shovels and pickaxes in their hands. There were no excavators in this era, so we could only rely on these small agricultural tools for rescue, and the rescue speed was very slow.
Three rooms cannot accommodate too many people. In order to ensure the rescue efficiency of the soldiers, Wu Feng divided the 100 people into two groups and changed shifts every half an hour.
The rain is getting heavier.
Mudslides are more harmful than earthquakes. Earthquakes damage building structures and leave gaps. However, if a person is directly trapped by the mud of a mudslide, there is little hope of survival unless there are shelters around and rescue is timely.
Time is running out.
The rescue workers kept wielding shovels and pickaxes. The entire house had been filled with silt, and they had to clear it out bit by bit.
It was still raining, which made the work even more difficult.
The soldiers were anxious and wanted to rescue the three lives buried underneath as soon as possible.
Su Mian jumped out of the car and rushed over, immediately opening her sharp eyes.
There are three rooms in Lao Zhang's house, with the kitchen in the middle, the couple's room on the left, and the rooms of his two sons on the right.
Last night, because the elder Zhang went out in the middle of the night, the younger son ran to his parents' room.
"Political Commissar Wu, first clear here and then there." Su Mian pointed out the location of the three of them.
The soldiers were dumbfounded. Su Mian pointed to two places, one was in the middle of the room on the left, and the other was near the door on the right.
If the right position is still possible, the person may have been suppressed while escaping. But on the left, why is the person in the middle of the house? This is unreasonable.
"This...sister-in-law, are you sure..." Wu Feng said it very tactfully, but what he actually meant was, sister-in-law, please don't make trouble, we are all anxious and angry!
Several other soldiers also agreed, "Yes, sister-in-law, although there is a kitchen in the middle, how can you be sure that no one is there? Maybe someone ran to the kitchen before the mudslide came?"
"Yeah, how could the person in the room on the left be in the middle?"
Su Mian knew they didn't believe it. In her previous life, she had participated in mudslide rescue and was very familiar with the disasters caused by mudslides.
Su Mian pointed out, "People are sleeping soundly in the middle of the night. When you feel the mudslide, you only have three seconds at most to react. They are ordinary people. They shouldn't be able to run far or even have time to react. My brother is young and strong. So I speculated that he probably ran to the door, and if he was rushed behind the door panel, he had the best chance of survival."
Wu Feng and several soldiers nodded. After hearing what Su Mian said, it was indeed what happened.
"What about the room on the left? Why are people in the middle?"
Su Mian continued, "As for my mother and younger brother, they had no time to run. The mud poured in through the window. They should have been washed to the ground. If they were by the kang, they would still have hope of survival."
And what Su Mian saw through her fiery eyes was indeed the gap behind the door where her eldest brother was, and her mother was by the kang, protecting her youngest son with her body.
"What are you still doing? Dig according to the location my sister-in-law said." Wu Feng immediately ordered. According to what Su Mian said, deducing the location of the injured can indeed save a lot of time.
With Su Mian's guidance, the soldier dug faster and soon heard voices inside.
"Uncle, can you give me a stick? I want to stand up."
"It's a boy! He's alive!"
The soldiers who had been preparing for the battle were immediately encouraged.
Su Mian asked the soldiers to talk to the little boy for psychological comfort.
The little boy was particularly strong, "Save my mother first, she is unconscious to protect me."
