Chapter 415 Two people disappeared
Huo Haocheng felt that something was not right. Even if they wanted to be lazy, they would not choose this time. They had gone through such difficult times in the past few months. As a leader, it was impossible for him not to be able to get through the last period.
The more Huo Haocheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Gu Jinghe, go ask Secretary Xu and the others first."
"Deng Yi, Su Yanqiu, the two of you go to the troops and ask if anyone has seen Commander Zhu in the past two days."
"You guys should ask the crowd first to see if anyone has seen the mayor and the director."
After hearing what Huo Haocheng said, several of them quickly stuffed the buns in their hands into their mouths, chewed them twice, swallowed them with water, and then quickly ran towards the direction of their mission target.
Half an hour later, Gu Jinghe came over with Secretary Xu. "What happened?" Secretary Xu asked Huo Haocheng.
It was not until Gu Jinghe went to look for him that he found out that their mayor, director and commander were all missing.
“....?” Secretary Xu looked anxious, and it didn’t seem like he was acting. It was just that his work partner had been missing for two days. Could it be that he really didn’t notice anything at all?
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but we really didn't know that Lao Cao was missing. I haven't seen him for three days. Before you came, he and I divided the work. We were afraid that when the earthquake came, we would be too busy to find each other. I was responsible for the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction work, and he was responsible for cooperating with the Public Security Bureau and the military to protect the safety of people's lives and property. So when you arrived, he was in charge, including your evacuation of the crowd and the subsequent search and rescue work. These days we have also been calculating the losses caused by this earthquake and the funds needed for subsequent reconstruction. We need to calculate the details and report them to the central government.
So this morning, I really troubled Dr. Ruan with the people’s problems!!!” Secretary Xu explained the whole story.
Huo Haocheng finally understood why they had not seen Secretary Xu after arriving in Tang City for so many days.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake. We all said that we want to rebuild our homes with our own hands, so Secretary Xu will need you to take care of the things that will happen next." After knowing the whole story, Huo Haocheng did not make things difficult for others.
Everything was made clear here. On the other side, Deng Yi and his team also came over with two regiment commanders from the military headquarters.
"Captain Huo, we heard that our commander Zhu and the mayor disappeared together, right?" The two had heard of Huo Haocheng before, so this time when Huo Haocheng led the team here, even though they were both at the captain level, the two were willing to obey Huo Haocheng's command. The two were so busy that they didn't notice that their commander was missing at all.
When Deng Yi and Su Yanqiu went to look for them, they were both quite confused. After Deng Yi and his team asked throughout the army, no one had seen the commander and his team. The anxious people quickly ran over to see if other people had any news about them.
Obviously, after hearing what they said, it goes without saying that they didn't know that their commander was missing.
"Let's wait and see. I hope there will be news from Bosrui and the others."
After a while, Bosilui and his group also came back. With the influence of Ruanruan in the morning, the crowd began to ignore Bosilui and his group. When Bosilui and his group went to look for them, everyone still felt ashamed to see them. However, when they heard them say that the mayor and the commander were missing, everyone started to reminisce.
Several people actually recalled that on the morning of the earthquake, the mayor, the commander and the other two saw the entire military going out for search and rescue. They felt that they could not just sit there and wait, so they also took their tools and went out to search and rescue. However, when they were recalling, it seemed that they saw the mayor and his men going out of the city instead of entering.
After Bosrui told everyone present what they had seen, everyone fell silent.
Secretary Xu, in particular, blushed after hearing what Bosrui said, and cursed in his heart, "This old Liu is really something, he is already old, and he still wants to make trouble."
Perhaps seeing Secretary Xu's embarrassment, Huo Haocheng asked them to immediately lead their people to search outside the city. "If they go outside the city, they can only go to the communes below. However, you have led people to search these communes before, and no one has encountered them. So I am more inclined to believe that they may have encountered aftershocks shortly after leaving the city, and then hurriedly sought a place to hide, or encountered some unexpected situation. It is also possible that we should form teams of two, and take a few soldiers with us, and focus on searching the surrounding mountains or under the roadside."
After Huo Haocheng finished speaking, they had no objections, so they took their people with flashlights and tools and went out to look for people.
At this moment, the people they were looking for, as Huo Haocheng guessed, wanted to do their part to help the people after the earthquake, so they went out with their tools.
However, they started out badly. Less than half an hour after they went out, they encountered a huge tree that had collapsed due to the earthquake, blocking the road in front of them. The three of them thought about lifting the tree aside first, which would also make it easier for the people behind them or the villagers to enter and exit. They would have to clean up the area later anyway, so it might as well be that they did it now.
Just like that, when the three men used all their strength to push the tree to the side of the road, Mayor Liu did not pay attention to his feet. The earthquake had broken the road into pieces, and he happened to step on a piece of cracked ground on the side of the road. Coupled with the weight of the tree, he and the tree rolled down the hillside together.
Director Qian, who was standing next to Mayor Liu, instinctively reached out and pulled him, then rolled down with him.
After seeing his two friends go down like this, Commander Zhu was also very worried. If it were normal times, he would definitely go back to find someone to help as soon as possible. However, when they came out, there was no one else except the people. He thought about it and decided to go down and take a look first.
Commander Zhu found a relatively sturdy tree stump on the side of the road, which was left in the soil after the trunk was broken by the earthquake.
He took off the rope on his body, tied it to the tree stump, and then slowly moved down bit by bit.
When he found the two people, he saw that they had fallen into a pit left by an earthquake, and the tree was just across the pit.
Both of them had fainted.
Commander Zhu first tested the stability of the tree, and after making sure there was no problem, he wrapped the rope around the tree twice before lowering himself to the bottom of the pit.
After checking the injuries of the two men, it was confirmed that they were all superficial injuries. However, Mayor Liu's head was probably hit when he rolled down and was still bleeding. To be on the safe side, Commander Zhu took the water bottle he was carrying and gave it to Mayor Liu to fill. Then he tore off a piece of clean cloth from the floor inside his clothes, applied medicine on it, and bandaged it up.
Then he thought about it and decided to drink it for one, then for two, and then he gave Director Qian a sip as well.
After making sure that the two men were not in danger of life, Commander Zhu thought about tying the rope to each of them first, and then pulling the person up after he went up.
Afterwards, he looked at the two of them, and after seeing their plump bodies, he said, "Are you two sisters-in-law feeding pigs?"
No matter how much he complains, he will never joke about his brother's life.
He tied one end of the rope directly to Director Qian's body, and after making sure there was no problem, he climbed up along the rope.
Fortunately, as a military commander, he also received regular training, otherwise he might not be able to climb up the rope with both ends fixed like this. Fortunately, the pit was not very deep, about three meters in depth. If it was deeper, he might not be able to climb up.
After Commander Zhu climbed up breathlessly, he felt that he had no strength left in his body.
