Chapter 52 An old donkey pulling a cart? It's clearly a mermaid pulling a cart!
The man, who had just been furious, plopped down on the ground, pointing at He Fan in terror.
"Holy crap!!! A ghost, a ghost!!"
Huh? He Fan looked up, down, left, and right, but there was nothing there.
At this moment, He Fan saw Captain Zhang sitting on the ground with everyone, and another man also wearing a SWAT uniform. This should be the Old Li that Commander Ding and the others were talking about.
He Fan was very happy; the trip had not been in vain, and Captain Zhang and the other two were safe and sound.
"Ahhh!"
......
What interrupted He Fan's thoughts was the constant screaming.
He Fan was speechless. What was wrong with these people? Had they been fooled?
"No! You're such a coward!"
Upon hearing He Fan's voice, Captain Zhang, who had just been startled, came back to his senses.
Isn't that the voice of the young girl who delivered supplies to them?
Take a closer look at the person in front of you.
She was wearing a bright yellow life jacket, and for some reason, the flashlight was tucked into her clothing below her neck, the light shining down her chin onto her blood-stained face...
Can you blame them for being afraid?
Who wouldn't be startled if such a creature suddenly emerged from the darkness?
Captain Zhang asked helplessly, "Miss He? What are you doing here?"
He Fan pulled a flashlight from the gap in the life jacket and shone it on the crowd.
"I'm here to rescue you. Ding is directing them to wait on the hillside."
Old Li hurriedly asked, "Where are Xiao Bin and the others? There was a landslide at the location where we started..."
Before Lao Li could finish speaking, He Fan interrupted him.
"They've all been rescued. They were hiding in a cave, and Wang Xiaohu dug them out."
Team Leader Zhang and Lao Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing the conversation, those around them breathed a sigh of relief.
The man, who was so frightened he almost wet his pants, was only now barely coming to his senses.
He Fan continued.
"Captain Zhang, I've tied the rescue rope for the slide to the window frame. Quickly find a sturdy spot to secure it, and let's hurry back."
Team Leader Zhang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's go."
The innkeeper then stepped forward: "Tie it to the stone pillar in the lobby downstairs. I've reinforced that pillar."
Team Leader Zhang can finally stand up straight now.
See? I told you someone would come to our rescue! You didn't believe me, huh!
Team Leader Zhang was very smug, giving orders with a stern face.
"Old Li, you stay here and help everyone pack up their belongings. Once we've set up the rescue channel, we'll start evacuating the people."
Old Li also raised his eyebrows in triumph: "Yes, Captain Zhang!"
The man who had just cursed Captain Zhang was now cowering in a corner like a quail, not daring to utter a single word.
When they have an emotional breakdown, they'll say anything.
Now that I'm about to be saved, my rationality returns.
He'd already messed with his girlfriend and didn't know what would happen when he got back, and now he'd run into the rescue team leader...
Team Leader Zhang was naturally not angry. When faced with life and death, who can guarantee that they can remain rational?
As a special police officer, he has seen too many facets of human nature.
Team leader Zhang and the innkeeper swam into the water, untied the rescue rope from the window frame, and tied it together to a stone pillar.
"How did you get here? By kayak? Or by motorboat?" Captain Zhang asked while reinforcing the rope.
He Fan: "I swam here."
Team Leader Zhang: "?"
Innkeeper: "?"
"You swam here from upstream using a rope?"
He Fan: "I just swam here normally! I can swim."
Team Leader Zhang: "......"
He didn't want to talk nonsense with He Fan anymore.
But the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Finally, he said it in a tone that implied he thought I was stupid.
"The current outside is so strong that it could sweep away two 300-pound pigs."
"Do you think you're a mermaid? Swimming over here."
He Fan shook his head and remained silent: ... Sigh, ignorant.
The system smugly replied: "Hmph, ignorant."
Seeing that He Fan no longer objected, Captain Zhang and the innkeeper pushed out a crooked kayak from the corner.
This kayak is the one that Captain Zhang risked his life to pull up.
In order to bring the kayak through the window into the house, it was deflated halfway.
Now secure the kayak to the slide.
The two then carefully lowered the kayak out the window.
Take the air pump out of the kayak's compartment and start inflating the kayak.
Looking out the window, Captain Zhang indeed couldn't see the equipment He Fan had brought.
But he still didn't believe that He Fan had swum directly over.
They might start from upstream, calculate the water flow, and use safety ropes to increase their chances of getting across.
Oh, I really shouldn't have said those things.
After all, He Fan is just a young girl who risked her life to swim over and save them. How could he have said such a thing?
Besides, the little girl still has injuries on her face, probably from being cut by gravel when she rushed over.
Team Leader Zhang would glance at He Fan every now and then, silently reflecting on his own actions.
He Fan stood on the steps and did not go into the water to help.
Looking at Captain Zhang's eyes, He Fan was completely confused.
Why look at yourself with such a guilty and pitying gaze?
The rescue rope for the slide was tightened onto the stone pillar by Captain Zhang and the innkeeper.
The rope that was originally floating on the water was now taut, and Commander Ding could definitely see it.
The hearts of everyone on the hillside tightened.
The tightened ropes indicated that He Fan's group had most likely reunited with Captain Zhang and were beginning preparations for their transfer.
At the inn, Team Leader Zhang and the innkeeper inflated the kayak.
The two then went upstairs to arrange the rescue sequence.
Team Leader Zhang said to everyone, "The kayak can only seat four people at a time, and there are only two life jackets."
"If there are any men who are good swimmers and strong, they can go with a group first, but there are no life jackets. You can choose for yourselves."
He Fan did not follow them upstairs.
Because she saw a rescue rope still floating on the window.
The water flow outside is still very rapid.
If you put the kayak directly into the water and paddle across by pulling on the rescue rope, there is still a risk of capsizing.
He Fan silently swam over and tied the ordinary safety rope around his waist.
He then dived back into the water, untied the lock at the bottom of the cylinder, and tied it to the kayak.
At this point, He Fan was ready.
When Captain Zhang came down with two elderly people and a young man, they saw He Fan with a safety rope around his waist, boldly stepping onto the window.
He was still holding the life jacket he had just taken off.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, He Fan threw the life jacket in his hand next to the young man.
The man was the grandson of the two elderly people. He had brought his grandparents on a trip, but this incident happened.
We didn't move immediately when it started raining because we were concerned about my grandparents' health.
I was planning to stay in the hotel for a few more days to avoid the rain.
Unexpectedly, the rain continued unabated, and a flash flood even occurred, trapping the three generations of the family here.
The young man became very nervous when He Fan threw the life jacket over.
"No, no need. I can swim and I'm strong. I'll grab the kayak in a bit, and it should be fine."
He Fan stopped listening to him and turned to plunge into the floodwaters outside.
"Hurry up and put it on, let's go."
Seeing this, the young man dared not delay any longer.
I put on the life jackets I had on hand and helped my grandparents sit down in the kayak.
Seeing the worry on Captain Zhang's face, He Fan decided to reassure him.
"I really swam here by myself. It's okay. Captain Zhang, please arrange for the next group of people to come and wait. I'll send them over and they'll come back."
After saying that, He Fan swam into the rapids outside the wall without looking back.
Just as Lao Li was about to step one foot onto the kayak...
As He Fan moved, the kayak behind her also moved forward rapidly.
Old Li, who had planned to board the boat to pull himself up on the zipline, didn't make it onto the boat in time...
Team Leader Zhang, Lao Li, and the innkeeper then realized what was happening.
The other end of He Fan's rescue rope wasn't tied to the pillar, but instead hung on the handle at the front of the kayak...
At this moment, He Fan was pulling the kayak towards the other side in the manner of an old donkey pulling a cart.
Sin ah.
Team Leader Zhang's heart was pounding in his throat.
Miss He really thinks she's some kind of donkey... Pshaw, some kind of mermaid?
If they are swept away by the flood, they can never be retrieved.
