Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 947: Chapter 948: Together with You

Chiang Xiao was here tending to all the wounded, dressing their wounds with medicine, while Meng Xinian led his men, braving the rain to clear the road.

In this kind of weather, clearing the road was particularly dangerous, a landslide could occur at any time.

So Meng Xinian, after arranging the work, kept a close eye on the slopes to his left and right.

Everyone clenched their teeth as they cleared the road, without a moment to speak, daring not to stop.

They used every tool available, and those without tools used their hands directly.

Hands were cut, skin broken, bleeding, but no one could afford to care.

Rain and sweat mingled together, soaking everyone through, yet no one could afford to care.

On the other side, Director Ye was personally leading the soldiers in an effort to clear the debris.

Mud, branches, stones, all were especially heavy, as more and more piles of sand and rocks were cleared, with muddy water flowing everywhere, and sharp branches adding to their wounds, unknown to anyone.

But no one stopped.

Dark rainy night fell, and all hearts were twisted together.

They had to clear this stretch of road to get out.

After treating all the wounded, Chiang Xiao saw Dai Gang; he and his team were helping all the villagers onto the vehicles, which could only be packed tighter, but there was no room for the Supervisor Guard, as there was simply no more space.

”Chiang Xiao!”

Ahead, several trucks carrying villagers went on, and all the team members prepared to follow on foot for the evacuation.

They were only waiting for the road to be cleared.

”Why did you come down? Get on the truck!” Dai Gang had just heard from Gong Xinhe that she had arrived, and now seeing all the villagers on the trucks, and Chiang Xiao in a raincoat staying beside the team, he immediately became anxious.

”I’m coming with you!” Chiang Xiao had no intention of getting on the truck.

The vehicles were actually overloaded already; one fewer person meant a little less pressure.

Moreover, she wanted to be with them, she still had to go find Meng Xinian.

”Stop messing around! You won’t be able to keep up!” Dai Gang, with a face full of urgency, reached out to pull her, when suddenly, someone came running from ahead, signalling with the light of a flashlight.

”Drive! Drive! Evacuate immediately!”

The vehicles immediately ignited and sped towards the road.

In the truck in front of them, villagers were crammed in, and it was very difficult for another person to get on.

Dai Gang’s hand froze.

At this time, he couldn’t say anything about stopping the truck first to get Chiang Xiao on board before leaving.

Now, time was life!

The vehicles had already driven off.

”Let’s go!” Chiang Xiao instead slapped his shoulder, urging him to run quickly.

”Keep close!” Dai Gang could only grit his teeth and run alongside her.

They had all been exhausted for two or three days, having rested little over forty-eight hours, and now they had to run in the rain for nearly half an hour to evacuate!

Chiang Xiao glanced at the team member beside her, whose face bore a wound that clearly hadn’t been tended to, lips pale, but he said not a word, only strived to keep up with the sprint of everyone else.

The vehicles sped away and were soon out of sight.

Behind them, the river water had already begun to rise. The little hill they had been on was now reduced to a peak, the corner of a tent also submerged.

In the distance, the sound of the river, blown by the wind, came in waves, as if demons were pressing in on them.

Children started crying, their sounds reaching the ears of Chiang Xiao and her team, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.

The rain intensified.

Huge raindrops hit their heads, some painfully.

The road ahead was barely visible, with only the sound of their footsteps and the rain mixing, like a fugue of escape.
