Chapter 508: The River Bursts
When everyone arrived, Commander Qi said to everyone with a serious face: "It has been raining for days and floods are rampant. The river in the neighboring city has burst its banks. Our superiors ordered us to go over and help the people fight the floods and provide disaster relief."
"Here, I want to emphasize two points. First, we are the People's Liberation Army. It is our duty to protect the lives and property of the people. Second, while protecting others, we must also ensure our own safety. You are my soldiers, and I hope you will come back the same way you left."
"Yes!"
"set off!"
At Commander Qi's command, the team set off immediately.
When we passed the staff quarters, Si Nanzhao glanced in the direction of his home.
The river burst its banks, posing great dangers.
He didn’t know whether he could return safely this time, and his only hope was that Yunbei would be fine.
In the family compound, Yun Bei did not sleep well. She had a dream all night. She dreamed that she and Si Nanzhao were separated and she could not find him no matter what.
In the end, she cried in panic because she couldn't find anyone.
She woke up instantly after crying, opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thought.
Yunbei had never had such a dream before, and it gave her a bad feeling.
I hope Si Nan Zhao is okay!
Yunbei prayed silently in his heart.
However, Yun Bei lost her sleepiness and went straight into the space, ready to find something to do. Otherwise, she would definitely have wild thoughts.
She didn't want this to happen, and she believed that Si Nanzhao would be fine.
Being busy is the best way to divert attention, and Yunbei was busy in the space until dawn.
When she came out of the space, she was no longer so worried. She comforted herself by saying that dreams are the opposite of reality, freeing herself from the feeling of worry and fear.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yunbei went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast.
As soon as breakfast was ready, Chen Chunhua came over.
"Chunhua, why are you here so early?"
"My brother went on a mission last night, and I had nothing to do at home, so I wanted to come over to see if there was anything I could help with. By the way, sister-in-law, have you made breakfast? How about I go to the cafeteria and get some breakfast?"
"No, I've already prepared it. Please bring out breakfast for me and I'll go and wake Fu Guang up."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Yunbei knocked on Fuguang's room and called out, "Fuguang, get up and have breakfast."
"Sister, I got it. I'll be right there."
Seeing that Fu Guang had woken up, Yun Bei went to the kitchen and helped Chen Chunhua bring breakfast into the living room.
When Fu Guang finished washing up and looked around but didn't see Si Nanzhao, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, where is my brother-in-law?"
"Your brother-in-law went on a mission last night."
Fu Guang nodded and said nothing more. However, when he thought about his brother-in-law going on a mission, he wondered if his sister would have to go on a mission too. He immediately became worried and asked, "Sister, are you going on a mission too?"
"I don't know now. I will find out after I get to the hospital. As you know, the disaster has been quite serious due to the rain recently. Many people have been in trouble because of this."
"Sister, if you have a mission, just go ahead, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."
After Fu Guang finished speaking, Chen Chunhua also chimed in, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of brother Fu Guang."
"Okay, I get it. If there really is a mission, I will go."
After breakfast, Yunbei walked back to the hospital. Fu Guang and Chen Chunhua sent her to the door and watched her walk away before returning home.
On the way home, Fu Guang was feeling a little down, and said to Chen Chunhua, "Sister Chunhua, if only I were a little older, maybe I could go on missions with you and the others."
"Then you should eat more and grow up quickly, there will always be a chance."
"Well, I will eat well."
Fu Guang and Chen Chunhua returned home. One reads and the other cleans. They get along well.
As for Yunbei, after returning to the hospital, he heard the news that the river in the neighboring city had burst its banks due to heavy flooding. He immediately understood why Si Nanzhao and the others had an urgent mission.
They must have gone to fight the flood and provide disaster relief.
Just when they were wondering whether their hospital should send people over to help with disaster relief, they heard the news that President Su asked everyone to go to the conference room for a meeting.
After Yunbei put her bag in the clinic, she followed everyone into the meeting room.
Soon, the conference room was full of people, and Director Su told everyone that the superiors required the hospital to send some doctors to the neighboring city to participate in flood control and disaster relief.
After reading the notice from his superiors, Dean Su looked at everyone and said, "Our hospital needs to send ten people. Is there anyone willing to participate? If not, then I can only call on their names."
After hearing this, Yunbei was the first to stand up and said, "President Su, I'll go."
Dean Su looked at Yunbei for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, you'll be one of them."
Originally, he didn't want Yunbei to go, because he knew that Si Nanzhao would definitely go to such a major event as flood relief.
He hoped that one of them could survive so that if something happened, one of them would be alive.
But Yunbei took the initiative to ask, so he couldn't refuse.
With Yunbei taking the lead, other doctors also stepped forward one after another.
Among the last few people, fifteen volunteered to go to fight the flood and provide disaster relief.
Now, Dean Su was in a dilemma. It was not good to keep anyone or not.
In the end, he had no choice but to let all these people follow the medical team organized by the city to the next city.
The return date for this mission is uncertain.
Dean Su gave everyone a morning to go home, pack their things, and say goodbye to their families.
Fu Guang was not very happy to see his sister coming back so soon, but asked seriously: "Sister, do you have a mission too?"
"Yes!" Yunbei nodded, and reached out to touch Fu Guang's head, and said to him: "I am going to carry out the mission just like your brother-in-law. You should listen to Sister Chunhua at home and take good care of yourself."
"I understand, sister. When will you come back?" Fu Guang nodded and looked at Yun Bei's face full of worry and reluctance.
Yunbei didn't know when he would be able to come back, so he could only reply: "I will be back when the mission is completed."
Time was urgent, so Yunbei didn't say much to Fu Guang. He packed a few clothes, said a few words to Chen Chunhua, and left.
At this time, Si Nanzhao and his companions had already arrived in the next city and reached the location where the river burst its banks.
Because the river burst its banks and flooded, countless houses, farmlands, and land were submerged, and poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, and dogs were either drowned or washed away.
Countless people were either floating in the water or standing on roofs or trees, waiting for rescue.
As soon as Si Nanzhao and his team arrived, they immediately plunged into the intensive rescue work.
