"CO, what should we do?" Ma You asked.
CO Qi said, "Set up a human ladder to bring them over."
"Yes!" Ma You immediately obeyed the order and led the soldiers to use poles to scout ahead. They quickly entered the water and held each other's hands. Fangzheng realized that many people's faces were a little green. Clearly, they were exhausted. However, these young faces still gritted their teeth and held on. It was as though no natural disaster could defeat them!
Fangzheng took a deep breath and entered the river. The river water reached his chest, and the current wasn't too rapid. However, the impact was still there. Furthermore, the river was muddy and filled with rocks. It was fine for adults to be careful, but it was very easy for children to fall in the water and be washed away. Some of the shorter ones couldn't even show their heads. Fangzheng was downstream. If anyone fainted, Fangzheng could immediately save them. In terms of strength and personal ability, he was undeniably the best! Of course, without the soldiers, Fangzheng couldn't do much.
While the human ladder was being set up, CO Qi had already crossed the river and said something to the teachers. Following that, the children began walking over.
At that moment, the soldiers had already stood facing each other in pairs. Their hands were placed on each other's shoulders, forming a floating bridge.
Even so, the children were still a little afraid.
"Don't be afraid. We will protect you. Don't worry. Climb over our hands, "CO Qi encouraged everyone.
The children were a little eager, but they ultimately didn't dare to do so.
CO Qi frowned when he saw this. He was a soldier, but he was also a boor. He really wasn't good at thinking things through, especially when it came to coaxing children.
At that moment, Ma You suddenly shouted. "Unity is strength!"
The others who were already on the brink of collapse shouted as well. "Unity is strength!"
"This strength is iron!
This strength is steel!
It's harder than iron and stronger than steel!
… "
CO Qi was just about to berate Ma You for not causing trouble when the others began singing as well. As the military song began, a few soldiers who were a little shaky stood up and sang and roared at the top of their lungs. The singing wasn't as pleasant as the singing of celebrities. It didn't have much of a rhythm, but it was just the shout of a hot-blooded man! That shout brought out the spirit of a man and the hot-bloodedness of a man! It brought out the fearlessness of valor! He shouted out the power of a soldier!
As if infected by the atmosphere, a boy suddenly jumped out and shouted, "I'll go over!"
Then, the boy directly climbed onto the arms of the soldiers and crawled all the way to safety!
"Come here! The arms of the People's Liberation Army uncle are like steel, they are very strong! "The boy shouted excitedly across the river.
"I'm coming too!" A girl climbed over and crossed safely.
Seeing this, the other children finally felt relieved. One by one, they climbed over in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, CO Qi and the teachers of the school were relieved … They heaved a long sigh of relief.
After the last child went over, CO Qi ordered, "Go ashore immediately! Escort the child to the refuge area! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers stopped. In the next moment, the two soldiers closed their eyes and fainted on the spot!
"Save them!" CO Qi jumped into the water in fear.
At this moment, a white figure rushed over and grabbed the two soldiers with each hand, dragging them ashore. The person who did it was none other than Fangzheng. He wasn't as professional as the soldiers when it came to building a human ladder, but he was very good at saving people single-handedly.
The other soldiers immediately ran over to check on the two.
"CO Qi, they're fine. They fainted from exhaustion," said Ma You.
CO Qi immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Although being a soldier meant giving his life to the country and its citizens, as a CO Qi, he still wished to bring his soldiers back safely. The human heart was made of flesh. Who would want to be sacrificed if they could live?
"Master, thank you." CO Qi saluted Fangzheng. Along the way, Fangzheng had helped several times, especially this time when he directly saved two soldiers. Although they could have done it without Fangzheng, the soldiers were already on the verge of collapse. It was possible that some of them would collapse while they were rescuing them. That would be troublesome.
Fangzheng returned the bow. "Patron, you are being polite. This Penniless Monk only did what he could."
The school's leaders, teachers, and students came over. A few children believed that the two soldiers had sacrificed themselves, so they burst into tears … Only after a long period of coaxing did they calm down.
After a simple rest, the two fainted soldiers woke up. At this moment, the sky was completely dark.
"It's not safe here. Let's quickly leave and return to the settlement," CO Qi said worriedly as he looked at the surrounding mountains.
Everyone nodded and took care of each other as they rushed to the settlement.
Although the soldiers were very tired, they still protected the children in the middle. Fangzheng continued walking at the back. The soldiers were already accustomed to Fangzheng. They secretly addressed him as the Guardian Buddha. With him around, everyone felt at ease.
Fangzheng only smiled when he heard that. He did not dare admit it. In Fangzheng's eyes, these soldiers were the true guardians. Compared to them, Fangzheng was truly far inferior. At the very least, without his divine powers, Fangzheng would not have been able to do even a tenth of what these soldiers had done!
When they arrived at the settlement, Fangzheng discovered that a large group had already arrived. Furthermore, there were heavy machinery driving in. Clearly, they had cleared the road after such a long period of time. The broken roads had also been blocked; otherwise, the heavy machinery would not have been able to drive in.
Following the large group were a large number of volunteers. There were men and women. The older ones were in their forties, while the younger ones seemed to be in their teens. Some helped to move supplies, some helped to cook porridge, and some helped to set up tents. Although the scene was a little chaotic, there was a certain order to it.
With these people comforting them, the refugees who were still a little flustered also calmed down. Those who could help helped, while those who couldn't tried their best not to move so as not to cause trouble for everyone.
Fangzheng turned around and saw that CO Qi had already gotten the soldiers to rest on the spot. However, the moment the soldiers sat down, they immediately leaned against rocks, trees, or lay down on the ground to sleep. Snoring sounded as all of them slept soundly. Fangzheng knew that they were truly exhausted. The reason why they could last until now was not because of their stamina but their willpower!
At this moment, some students ran over and covered the drenched soldiers with their coats before leaving silently.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng smiled.
