living in a mountain village

Chapter 70
"I just got news that a lot of vehicles were parked on the national highway outside the county because of the blizzard. Now these people lack food, water, and clothing to keep out the cold. Because the snow is too thick, and now this The snow hasn't stopped, and rescue planes can't take off. Now I'm worrying about it."

After hearing Mr. Wu's answer, Lin Hao said, "Mr. Wu, have you forgotten the special activities after the heavy snowfall in winter in Northeast China?"

"What special event?"

"A dog pulls a sledge." Lin Hao said.

"Why didn't I think of it..." Mr. Wu slapped his head, "Why did I forget about this?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Mr. Wu hurriedly called his son, "Stinky boy, there is a way, quickly organize people to send things to the disaster relief site on the highway by dog-pull sledge, and let the armed police Keep order."

When he heard his father say that Lin Hao gave the dog-pull sledge method, Mr. Wu's son also belatedly thought of the special winter activities in Northeast China, such as ice sculptures, winter hunting, and dog-pull sledges.

Obviously there is a good solution, but everyone seems to be given to death by the traditional thinking mode, and no one thinks that dog sledge activities used for entertainment can also be used in rescue.

So he immediately issued an order to the county's rescue force. "The troops immediately prepared dogs and sledges. The relief supplies were sent to the rescue site in the form of dogs pulling sledges."

When the order was received, the officers of the unit thought it was a mistake.No one thought that rescue could be done in this way. "Who thought of this, it's absolutely brilliant. It's a genius idea."

Because vehicles could no longer drive on the road, and helicopters were unable to take off and land due to heavy snowfall, the soldiers couldn't think of anything else other than admiration for the person who proposed to use dog-pulled sledges for rescue. .I am also looking forward to being able to personally experience the rescue of a dog-pulled sledge, after all, no one has ever experienced it.

When a large amount of rescue supplies were transported to the sledges, a large number of dogs had to be used to pull the sledges due to the load-bearing relationship. The emergency police dogs and military dogs deployed by the county could not meet the needs of disaster relief at all. There was no way for the county to urgently Issue a notice to the general public to call for dog rescues.

However, because citizens are not allowed to keep large dogs in the county town, no dogs were recruited. However, almost every household in many rural areas near the county town has dogs, and the owner of a large dog farm even knew about the city. After sending out the notice, he quickly brought all the dogs in the house.

People in the whole county also took action, preparing a lot of hot water and thermos bottles.Because the heavy snow didn't stop, another layer of snow had accumulated on the road just after it was cleared.However, this does not affect everyone's determination to help. All rescue work is going on in an orderly manner.

A large number of dogs, led by military dogs and police dogs, set off on their sledges towards the highway outside the county.The dogs pulled the sledge and ran fast on the snow, leaving the dog's footprints and the marks of the sledge on the snow.When the rescue soldiers rushed to the blocked expressway, they found that the entire expressway was full of vehicles due to the accumulation of snow.

In order to relieve the pressure on the highway, the troops who came to the rescue first set up all the tent-like materials they brought on both sides of the highway, and made arrangements for the affected people to live in the tents and They were provided with hot water and food.With the young soldiers arriving constantly, they kept clearing the thick snow on the road with the shovels in their hands, so as to quickly clear the vehicles that were congested on the highway.

However, due to the heavy snow accumulation, the snow on the road has reached a thickness of half a meter, and it is difficult to solve it by relying on manual snow removal.Engineering snow removal vehicles are temporarily unable to enter, and the only thing that can be done at present is to sort out a safe area to ensure the food and housing problems of those who are stuck on the highway.

In order to prevent the cold wind from blowing away the little heat in the air, the soldiers surrounded a high snow wall with snow and built tents inside the snow wall. A layer of salt.Let ice appear on the outside of the snow wall.

The snow gradually became smaller and finally stopped on the morning of the third day.The heavy snow this time caused a large area of ​​road closures, and some houses that had been in disrepair were also crushed and collapsed in this heavy snow.Except for a small number of personnel and property losses, because the county made early preparations to prevent snow disasters, there were only property losses and almost no casualties.

When one side is in trouble, all sides support. When it was reported that the county in Northeast China was the center of the disaster and suffered a blizzard disaster that was hard to come by in 60 years, people from all over the country extended a helping hand.Medicines, food, bedding and other things were donated continuously.

"Recently, the whole province has suffered heavy snowstorms. Parts of the county have been severely affected, some people's houses have been damaged, roads have been snowed and frozen, and traffic accidents have increased, which has brought great difficulties to the production and life of the people in the disaster areas. At critical times, thousands of county rescue teams Many officers and soldiers are actively involved in the rescue of the snow disaster. The reporter of this station is broadcasting for you."

Watching the news broadcast on the local TV, Lin Hao paid attention to the rescue and handling situation after the blizzard.When the blizzard fell, Li Xiaoyao took the whole village to the hot spring of Wangyue Cliff according to Lin Hao's suggestion, and set up a temporary living tent. the chill.

The vehicles that were originally on the highway slowly drove off the highway the next day after the snow stopped.Because the soldiers did not rest at all after the snow stopped. After clearing the snow on the road overnight to make the road smooth, in the morning, the soldiers told all car owners to drive slowly on the road, because the road surface is covered with snow. A portion of ice.Pay more attention to safety when driving on the road.

When all the vehicles on the highway have left, all the soldiers of the rescue force will also arrive at the barracks.Because of the support of the local people this time, the rescue work went very smoothly.When the county was going to issue rewards to the owners who provided dogs, they all rejected the monetary rewards, which were just certificates issued by the county.

"It's not a lot of money, but it's more meaningful to put the money into the reconstruction work than award it to us. We accept the award because it's an honor. Let the money go to those who have been hit hard by the disaster."
