Chapter 54 Addendum sorry for the puppy that saved me

Xiao Huang is dead!Xiao Huang, who saved me, is dead! On the morning of May 21, it was beaten to death with a stick! The reason why it was killed was because of the need to prevent a major epidemic after the catastrophe. Some people suspected that it ate things with diseases, and even picked up the remains of the villagers who died, which would spread the epidemic and hurt more innocent people. ——Actually, the worries of the villagers are superfluous.This summer resort with countless mountain villas, which was once very longed for by outsiders, has existed in name only after the earthquake. No one will travel here in a short time, let alone live here. The epidemic no longer poses a threat to the mountain village.

The village is called Jiufeng Village, which is a scenic spot, two kilometers away from Yinchanggou, a famous scenic spot in Sichuan Province, and thirty-one kilometers away from the epicenter of the "5.12" Wenchuan Earthquake.The catastrophic earthquake completely destroyed this tourist attraction. I don't know the name of that puppy, but it has yellow fur that can't be called beautiful, so I call it Xiao Huang. I saw Xiao Huang after two o'clock in the morning on May 15th.At that time, I was rushing to Xinhai Villa with Xi Shengwei, a volunteer from Chengdu, to rescue Li Ximin, a horror novelist from Shanghai.We hammered and hand-planed for nearly six hours without success. We were tired and anxious and stayed in a small wooden shed by the side of the mountain.The villa built by Xiaohuang’s owner, who spent more than 20 million yuan, collapsed, and his whereabouts are unknown, but he was tied to a peach tree by a hemp rope thick as a finger, and continued to perform his duties of guarding the house and the peach tree. .The peach tree and the shed are close together, and Xiao Huang sleeps under my bed.

To prevent accidents, we also built a fire by the shed. However, the accident still happened!Not long after I fell asleep, three hungry dogs rushed into the shed with their bloody mouths open, trying to fill their bellies with me and Xiaoxi! "Old Yi, wake up...wake up...the dog...the dog...is coming to eat you!" The snoozing little Xi was terrified, yelling incoherently. "But I... I... move... move... no... no!" I really imagine that when I was a soldier in the army, I would hold an emergency assembly and get up as soon as I turned over!But I just can't move!So tired!I want to sleep so much!After the earthquake, I have been doing on-site interviews in Yinghua Town, Luoshui Town, and People's Hospital in Shifang, Sichuan, which were hardest hit by the earthquake. He quickly rushed to the place where Li Ximin was buried, and quickly walked for nearly six hours from Longmenshan Town to Xinhai Villa, which is 12 kilometers away.

"Woof! Woah! Woah!" Just then, I heard a dog barking, very loudly.Xiao Huang was roaring desperately, desperately trying to drive away the three wild dogs that were jumping at me.It's so brave, I still can't believe that's its voice. "I'll kill you!" Xiao Xi, who came to his senses, quickly picked up a wooden stick from the ground and waved it at the menacing wild dogs. People and dogs are desperately trying to survive. That scene is too scary! After a lot of fighting between humans and dogs, the wild dogs finally ran away.Xiao Xi and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Strong aftershocks of magnitude 5 or so came every 20 to 30 minutes. Boulders on the mountain rolled down from time to time in the aftershocks, and the valley screamed. Xiaoxi and I lost sleepiness at all.We also picked up some wood chips from the ruins of the villa to make the fire burn more vigorously, to strengthen ourselves, and to scare the wild dogs. However, we are too naive.Within half an hour, the hungry wild dogs charged again, rushing towards us like hungry tigers. "Not good! Get out!" After driving away the wild dogs, I told Xiao Xi to leave that dangerous place quickly.

Xiao Xi and I hurried down the hillside.Then got into a makeshift tent.When I woke up the next morning, I saw that the person next to me was asleep and did not respond to my shouts.It was the eldest son of an old lady named Mo. He died in the earthquake, and all the living children and young people in the village fled to the outside of the mountain. No one helped him with his funeral.Xiao Xi, me and several elderly people helped her bury her son. Not long after dawn, I was waiting on the side of the highway to stop Lin Jie, the deputy commander of the Chengdu Air Force who was rushing towards the outer mountains, and reported the danger of Ximin to his accompanying officers, asking them to find a way to rescue Ximin .The officer told me that they were on an important mission and could not stay, and that a large force of more than 4,000 people would arrive soon.

Around nine o'clock, an air force came in from outside the mountain. I stopped them immediately, explained the situation and General Lin's instructions, and asked them to save their comrade Li Ximin.The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Brigade of the Air Force from Jiajiang County, Sichuan agreed. Prior to this, Xiao Xi and I had found rescue tools such as steel drills and hammers.Before that, a troop had been to the villa. Because it was too dangerous and there were no special tools, the troop decided to give up rescuing him for the time being and pick him out when the conditions were ripe.There are also a few local farmers who are unwilling to rescue them even if I give them 100,000 yuan. What they say makes sense: "It's not a matter of money. What's the point of having a lot of money?"

Aftershocks of magnitude 4 and 5 continued, flying rocks on the opposite mountain rolled straight, and the valley rang, but the officers and soldiers of the army ignored it completely. After several hours of hard work, Li Ximin, who had been buried for more than 70 hours, finally ended the most terrifying days of his life. rescued from the ruins. When Li Ximin was airlifted to the Armed Police Chengdu Hospital, his wife and younger brother arrived in Chengdu just after receiving the message from me. They met Li Ximin soon and began to take care of him. After rescuing Li Ximin with the officers and soldiers of the army, Xiao Xi immediately went to take the troops of the Jinan Military Region to the other side of the river with a broken bridge, and rescued more than 50 villagers there.

I walked to Longmenshan Town at 10pm on the 15th, and it took five and a half hours. The soles of my feet were covered with blood blisters, and my body suffered multiple soft tissue bruises. On June 8, Li Ximin said in the CCTV Dragon Boat Festival special program "Remembering" that he should be grateful and grateful to those who rescued him.And I, too, should be grateful, thankful to Xiao Huang, if it hadn't been for his desperate rescue, maybe I would have been used by those dogs to satisfy my hunger. Xiao Huang is dead!I'm sad!I cry!I am guilty! ——Although, I didn’t carry it out of the mountain because I was afraid of bringing out the epidemic and hurting more innocent people; even though, I was busy with the officers and soldiers carrying Li Ximin to the temporary airport two kilometers away; even though, I was cleaning Xinhai A young man surnamed Wang in the ruins of the villa told me that this is the need for epidemic prevention after the catastrophe, and stray dogs will be hunted down and buried deep.

On June 3, I came to the ruins of Xinhai Villa again. When I heard that Xiao Huang was beaten to death, I was very depressed.The whereabouts of its owner is still unknown. This little life escaped death, became an orphan, and saved us. I am so sorry!The next day after saving people, I should take it away, but I just untied the rope that tied it and told it to run for its life... Xiao Huang, I'm really sorry for you, please forgive me!
