Reborn as a Noble's Son

The next road, as Wu Li expected, would become increasingly difficult. In fact, it can be said that there is no road at all in the ten kilometers ahead.

The destructive power caused by a major earthquake is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The mountain road ahead is basically gone. Across the front, huge rocks, raised piles of dirt, and scattered trees can be seen everywhere. Every step forward requires the use of hands and feet, which can be said to be difficult.

The last ten kilometers took Nie Zhenbang and others more than four hours. This was something no one expected.

At one o'clock in the morning, we were only ten kilometers away from Yizhou city. After resting for more than an hour, when we saw the city of Yizhou at the foot of the mountain, it was already 6:20 in the morning, and the sky in the distance was already turning white.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang and the soldiers next to him were shocked by the sight that came into view.

When Nie Zhenbang came to Bashu to take office in Yizhou City, he visited the entire Bashu province. Nie Zhenbang also came to Yizhou City.

In Nie Zhenbang's memory, although Yizhou City at that time was a prefecture-level city, its urban area could only be considered slightly larger than the county seat. However, the urban area of ​​Yizhou is also well-equipped with many buildings.

However, Yizhou City is now in ruins. Looking around, there are only a dozen or so houses standing alone in the entire city.

One of the buildings has even collapsed. The entire building looked crumbling, like an analyzed architectural model.

On the way out of the city, you can see many people supporting each other, their faces covered with dust, walking step by step towards the outside of the mountain.

From time to time, you can see some people crying along the way.

Nie Zhenbang was shocked. This kind of scene. Unless you see it with your own eyes, you can't feel the shock. He said to the person next to him: "Quickly, go up to us and ask about the situation in the city."

Everyone in Nie Zhenbang's group. As soon as we walked out of the mountain road, it turned out that the national highway leading to Yizhou City was no longer visible on the road. The huge cement blocks were either tilted up on one side or dented on the other side.

People along the way. His face was lifeless. There was no goal, no hope. As soon as they saw Nie Zhenbang's group of people, the crowds along the way and the people sitting on the roadside all stood up.

Among the crowd, suddenly, a male voice shouted angrily: "The People's Liberation Army is coming. The People's Liberation Army is coming, we are saved!"

This is a cry from the heart. From a psychological perspective. In the most critical moment, the most helpless moment, the person you believe in the most. It's the person they most desperately want to show up.

This shout made the silent Yizhou City completely boil.

From yesterday to now, more than eighteen hours have passed. The common people throughout Yizhou City experienced the initial hesitation, helplessness and fear, and just when their spirits were on the verge of collapse, the People's Liberation Army came, and the country came, like rain in a long drought. , people are shocked, everyone. No one is hesitant anymore, everyone has a backbone.

These shouts were passed out like a baton and spread throughout Yizhou City.

at this time. After a night of constant aftershocks, all the surviving people didn't know what to do. Suddenly, there were these shouts, and the people in the entire Yizhou City started shouting.

In Yizhou City

On the original side of Yizhou Square, at this moment, most of the refugees in Yizhou City gathered in the entire square. In a temporary tent built with wood or construction scaffolding, Xing Guofeng, deputy mayor of Yizhou City, walked out of the tent at this moment.

Looking into the distance, Xing Guofeng said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ma, what's going on? Are the troops coming?"

Xiao Ma, this is Xing Guofeng's secretary. Looking at Xing Guofeng's sunken eye sockets and red eyes, he walked up and said heartbrokenly: "Mayor, go and rest. You haven't slept a wink all day."

Xing Guofeng waved his hand and said angrily: "Xiao Ma, what's the matter with you? Do you still have principles? Is it time to take a break at this time? Quick, go and call Director Chang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau over now, let's go together Welcome comrades from the army.”

…

On the edge of Yizhou City, Nie Zhenbang and the members of the commando team looked at these ordinary people and the smiles on their faces. At this moment, everyone's hearts were lifted.

At this moment, all the soldiers understood the true meaning of the phrase "defend the home and the country." At this moment, this was no longer a simple slogan, it was a high expectation placed on the people.

Nie Zhenbang stepped forward, held the hand of a fellow villager, and said eagerly: "fellow, we are here. I'm sorry, we are late. How is the situation in the city?"

When he talked about the situation in the city, the man who was still smiling suddenly squatted down, with a hint of crying in his tone: "It's over, it's over, the whole city collapsed, and those children were drowned. The hospital collapsed, and the government collapsed. They were all buried. Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, you must save them. You must save them."

Nie Zhenbang's mood was heavier than ever at this moment. Turning his head, Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here, the target is right ahead, Yizhou City, run forward."

At this moment, the common people on the roadside who were walking outside step by step stopped, looking at this scene and the thirty or so thin soldiers. At the beginning, the man who shouted that the People's Liberation Army was coming said again: "Folks, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, please stop and listen to me. The People's Liberation Army is coming. I believe that large forces must also be heading towards us." Let's march here. Folks, our relatives, and our friends are all buried under the ruins at this moment. At this time, folks, let's go out. Where are we going? Here, behind this Yizhou is our home, and at this time, our relatives are still wailing under the ruins. Do we have the heart to leave?"

The man's voice resounded throughout the world and came from the heart, making all the people who were fleeing stop in their tracks, and some even became thoughtful.

The man continued at this moment: "Folks, if one side is in trouble, there will be support from all sides. At this time, can we bear to watch our relatives leave us? We are going to save them. The People's Liberation Army is here, what do we have to fear? ?”

After the words fell, a voice shouted from the side: "Go back, follow the People's Liberation Army and go back to save people!"

Nie Zhenbang didn't know about this scene. However, along the way, the ordinary people who had been walking lifelessly suddenly changed their direction, turned around and ran towards Yizhou City.

It only took less than ten minutes to enter Yizhou City from the foot of the mountain. At this time, the people of Yizhou who had received the news had already rushed here. At the front, the deputy mayor of Yizhou City, Xing Guofeng Chang Weiguo, director of the Yizhou Public Security Bureau, was already standing in the crowd.

Seeing the People's Liberation Army coming, the two men came forward. Xing Guofeng said: "Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, which part do you belong to? I am Xing Guofeng, deputy mayor of the Yizhou Municipal People's Government, and this is Chang Wei, director of the Yizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. country."

As soon as the words fell, Nie Zhenbang had already taken off his military cap. With his lean and half-inch hair, and Nie Zhenbang's resolute look, he looked around at the people in front. The people who had survived the earthquake had expressions on their faces at this moment. It's very ugly, dirty and messy, which is the most typical performance. However, at this moment, everyone's face is full of hope.

Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Xing Guofeng, where are the other leaders of the Yizhou Municipal Party Committee? Where are Wei Dayong?"

When Xing Guofeng saw Nie Zhenbang, he was stunned on the spot. At this moment, Nie Zhenbang's words completely alerted Xing Guofeng. When Governor Nie came to Yizhou City to investigate, Xing Guofeng was also there to receive him, although he did not meet Governor Nie. Although the governor talked a lot, Xing Guofeng still knew what Governor Nie looked like.

Somewhat disbelieving, he looked at Nie Zhenbang and said: "Nie...Governor."

After the words fell, the major who led the commando team said from the side: "Comrade, you read that right, this is Governor Nie Zhenbang, the governor of Bashu Province. In order to reach the disaster area as quickly as possible, , Governor Nie followed us and marched more than 80 kilometers on foot last night. He came here without rest all night. "

"Governor Nie, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Governor Nie is here."

"Folks, Governor Nie is here. The country has not forgotten us. The country has not abandoned us. Governor Nie is here."

"Governor Nie, what a good official. Walking more than a hundred miles on the mountain road is not something that ordinary people can endure."

The crowd was completely boiling. If the arrival of the People's Liberation Army gave them a strong hope, then the appearance of Nie Zhenbang was like a shot in the arm, piercing the heart and filling everyone with excitement. confidence.

Xing Guofeng and Chang Weiguo came forward. Xing Guofeng said: "Governor, yesterday morning, the Yizhou Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee held a regular standing committee meeting. All the standing committee members at home have been buried under the rubble."

When Nie Zhenbang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It was too late. He didn't expect that the leadership team of the Yizhou Municipal Party Committee had been buried. It was unimaginable that from yesterday to now, there was no guidance from government staff and no strong command organ. , how these ordinary people spent their time.

After a moment of silence, Nie Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Comrade Xing Guofeng, don't say anything unnecessary. Now, what is the disaster situation in Yizhou City and what are the casualties?" (To be continued)
