Chapter 36

"Why hasn't he come up yet?" Only then did Old Man Liu realize that Su Yang hadn't come up yet, and he asked immediately.

"Mayor Su went to save Grandma Sun, and then..." Xiaobai, who had just climbed up, couldn't continue.

"Yes, just now Mayor Su went to save Grandma Sun regardless of everything."

"Yes, just now he originally wanted us to come up together."

"Mayor Su is a good person." Zhou Tai stared fixedly at the surging flood; he wanted to see that figure, but he saw nothing.

A flash flood nearly twenty or thirty meters high could wash away even houses, let alone a person.

"What, Mayor Su went to save people?"

"No, we must organize people to save Mayor Su; our whole village's lives were saved by him."

"We can't just care about our own lives."

"We can't let people poke us in the spine."

The old party secretary Liu Ximing shouted with red eyes.

"No, the Town Mayor gave instructions that I should assist you in bringing all the villagers up safely, and other things..."

But before his voice fell, the mountain on the opposite side collapsed with a roar, and the soil, mixed with gravel, rushed down into the surging flood.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned red.

Zhou Tai sat directly on the ground, unable to move for a long time.

The old party secretary Liu Ximing also sat dejectedly on the ground, watching the flood run rampant with red eyes.

Xiaobai tried to rush down several times, but was pulled back tightly by others; rushing down at this time would mean certain death.

At this time, besides the sound of rain and the roaring flood, there was only the sound of the villagers' sobbing.

This continued for more than ten minutes, and the flood gradually subsided.

The heavy rain also turned into light rain, falling at everyone's feet.

At this time, Su Yang's face was slightly pale; it was fortunate that the landslide just now happened on the opposite side; if it had been on their side, or even directly opposite, he was afraid he would have lost ten lives.

"Let's go, let's go up along the small path; otherwise, if it's afternoon later, we won't have anywhere to hide."

Zhou Ruohan nodded; she also knew that the goddess of luck had favored them once, and there definitely wouldn't be a second time.

After saying that, the two explored forward along the slippery small path.

Just when everyone on the mountaintop felt there was no hope, two figures appeared dozens of meters below their feet.

"Mayor Su..."

"It's Mayor Su and that girl from the city."

"Great, they are still alive..."

Everyone wept with joy at this moment.

Zhou Tai shouted loudly, "Is there a rope? Throw one down; their physical strength can't keep up."

Someone in the crowd answered and threw down a long rope, "Mayor Su, grab it, we'll pull you up..."

Su Yang, who was almost exhausted, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rope.

"You and Grandma Sun go up first, then I'll go up."

This time, Zhou Ruohan didn't say anything more; Grandma Sun was severely hypothermic and needed to go up to keep warm immediately.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What a Town Mayor who doesn't want his life."

"With such a big flood, is it worth it..." The old party secretary Liu Ximing said with red eyes.

As soon as Su Yang was pulled up, he fainted without saying a word.

Just now he was almost racing against the Grim Reaper; if it weren't for his strong desire to survive supporting him, he almost wouldn't have come back.

"Save him, what are you all waiting for..."

Zhou Ruohan shouted with a crying voice.

When Su Yang woke up again, it was completely dark.

Torches lit up like stars on the relatively broad mountaintop.

Someone had found dry firewood, and several bonfires had already been lit.

"This is... where am I... is everyone safe?"

"Has the flood receded..."

He struggled to sit up and asked; he couldn't remember the scenes from before all at once.

"It receded, it receded..."

"Mayor Su, our whole village's lives were saved by you, thank you..."

Li Ximing took the lead in thanking him. Several people who had narrowly escaped death knelt directly before Su Yang.

"Don't be like this, don't be like this, this is what I should do."

After Su Yang got up and helped them up, he sat back down on the ground.

His strength had been completely exhausted. He really needed a good rest, but he couldn't.

"Like this, everyone can't go back now; the bottom is all silt. Find a way to spend the night here tonight."

"Have the village cadres organize people to settle everyone."

"I will communicate with the town and have the town find a way to send relief supplies."

After hearing this, Liu Ximing shook his head and said, "Don't count on the village cadres; they already took their whole families to other places to avoid the rain."

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Su Yang's mouth; can someone like Liu Jianjun even be called a human?

But he couldn't spare the energy to be angry at this time, so he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called the Town Party Committee Secretary Qin Chuan.

The phone rang for a long time before Qin Chuan answered, "Mayor Su, what's the matter?"

Su Yang was almost furious; with such heavy rain just now, how could you not know what happened?

He suppressed his anger and said, "Secretary Qin, just now there was a heavy rainstorm, and Huatian Village had a flash flood. The whole village was washed away by the flood, and now hundreds of people from the whole village are spending the night on the mountaintop."

"Please help organize people to transport some relief supplies."

"Otherwise, the old and children won't be able to spend the night."

"Hmm?"

"Such a thing actually happened? I've returned to the county seat."

"How about this, you contact Deputy Town Mayor Li; he is in town, have him coordinate the disaster relief supplies. That's all for now, I have something here, I'll be busy for a while."

"We'll talk about the specific situation tomorrow."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

However, Su Yang clearly heard the sound of people gambling and drinking coming from the receiver.

Undoubtedly, this Qin Chuan was drinking, disregarding the disaster-stricken people.

Su Yang cursed directly, and then called Li Tian, which also rang for a long time.

But Li Tian didn't answer; instead, he hung up the phone.

Su Yang continued to call, calling three or four times, before Li Tian lazily answered the phone, "Hello, hello, who is this? What's the matter? Keep calling me."

Su Yang suppressed his anger and said, "Li Tian, I am Su Yang. Huatian Village encountered a flash flood and mudslide, and the village was destroyed. You immediately arrange for the township's relief supplies to come over."

"At the same time, gather the town's cadres overnight to study the disaster relief plan, and officially start disaster relief work tomorrow morning."

Li Tian laughed and said, "Mayor Su, aren't you overestimating me?"

"I am just a Deputy Town Mayor; where would I have such great power?"

"For such a big matter, you should contact Secretary Qin, have him, the number one person, convene a rescue meeting and coordinate relevant supplies."

"If there is a meeting, I will be there on time."

"That's it..."

After Li Tian finished speaking, a sound of "swish swish" mahjong shuffling came from the receiver.

Someone even said, "Mistress..."
