1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

When they arrived at the dormitory, Lin Wanqing was a little slow in taking off her raincoat, as if she had not yet recovered from the thrill of the moment.

It was only then that the classmates in the dormitory discovered that Lin Wanqing's clothes were bulging with books.

She had a slender figure, but today her shirt was stuffed full of books. The books were soaked by the rain and became heavy, stretching her shirt out of shape.

When the roommates saw it, they were all shocked.

Some covered their mouths, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Some walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder, and said admiringly, "Wanqing, you are so brave. You really fought hard for these books!"

Everyone admired her courage and was moved by her persistence.

Lin Wanqing sat by the bed, gently touching the wet books, her eyes full of pity.

Everyone knew how precious these books were, but they were helpless in the face of this merciless rain.

She just wanted to save as many books as possible, and she really didn't think about whether she would be in danger.

However, after what happened just now, she had new ideas about her future life.

Wang Yong and his friends are all warm-hearted and trustworthy people.

I had promised Lin Wanqing that I would go to the library to help rescue books. It was like engraving words in my heart, and I must not go back on my word.

When Lin Wanqing was found, the situation was urgent. It was raining heavily outside as if someone was pouring water in a large basin. The raindrops were large and dense, and they kept falling with a crackling sound.

But they didn't care about anything else and rushed out.

Only now do I feel that my legs feel heavy, as if I were dragging a block of lead.

They walked towards the school library in the rain, taking one step forward and one step back.

When I finally got to the library, I saw that several teachers in the school were busy.

The teachers were also busy, braving the heavy rain and trying to rescue those precious books.

Teacher Xu Changqing was among them. He always treated his students as his own children and felt sorry for them from the bottom of his heart.

Teacher Xu was busy moving books. When he turned around, he saw Wang Yong and a few others standing there, all wet. Their hair was stuck to their faces from the rain. The rain was flowing down their hair and clothes. They looked very miserable.

When Teacher Xu saw it, his brows immediately frowned, he felt so distressed that he hurried over in two steps.

He waved his hands as if he was chasing away his own disobedient chickens, and shouted anxiously, "How can you be so ignorant! You are running out in the rain without even a raincoat. Aren't you afraid of getting sick? Go back to the dormitory and change your clothes quickly. If you get frozen, how will you explain to your parents? It will be so painful if you get sick in the rain."

As Teacher Xu spoke, his eyes were full of concern, and his tone was full of blame and heartache.

In Teacher Xu’s heart, every student in the school is the apple of the parents’ eyes.

Parents send their children to school, which shows their trust in the school and the teachers.

As a teacher, he naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of caring for and protecting his students. He cannot just watch the children suffer in the heavy rain.

After hearing what Teacher Xu said, Wang Yong and his friends felt embarrassed. Moreover, they were drenched by the heavy rain and were really freezing.

The rain poured down their necks into their clothes, making their bones ache so icy that they couldn't help shivering all over.

A few people looked at each other, their eyes revealing that "we really shouldn't be so impulsive", and then they turned around and walked towards the dormitory obediently.

As soon as they entered the dormitory, several people hurriedly took off their wet and heavy clothes. The clothes stuck to their bodies and it took a lot of effort to take them off.

After taking off my clothes, I quickly found some dry clothes from the closet and put them on. After putting them on, I immediately felt a little warmer.

But I still felt cold, after all, I had been freezing in the rain for so long.

Su Jincheng suggested: "Hurry up and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

When the others heard this, they nodded and hurried to get cups to pour water.

Several people held cups of hot water and drank from them in big gulps. The hot water flowed down their throats, and they felt their bodies slowly warm up and they felt better.

After a short break, several people looked at each other, no one spoke, and they all thought that the books in the library were still waiting to be rescued.

Then they put on their raincoats again tacitly and rushed to the library in a hurry.

While running, he called on other students: "Classmates, let's all go out and help the teachers rescue the books. Those books are hard-earned. If we work together as one, we will definitely be able to minimize the losses."

Sure enough, many male students heard the call of Wang Yong and others, joined the rescue team, and rushed to the library in the heavy rain.

On the other side, Li Weiguo and Zhang Jianguo were sitting in the big wooden tub, swaying along the current and drifting downstream.

The big wooden tub went up and down in the water, just like riding a roller coaster, except it was not as fun as riding a roller coaster, it was very dangerous.

Along the way, I could hear the sound of rushing water, which was so loud that it almost deafened me.

When they arrived downstream of the base, they looked up and saw a scene that was so heartbreaking!

The villagers' houses were destroyed by the flood, and the broken walls were scattered all over the place.

Some walls were half collapsed, some roofs were gone, and everything was a mess.

The flood was still flowing loudly, as if it was mad, and there was no sign of it slowing down.

The villagers were all in a miserable state. Some of them had no other choice but to hold their own quilts on their heads. However, the quilts were soaked by the rain and became heavy, making it difficult for the villagers to stand up straight.

Some wore conical hats, but how could those hats not block such heavy rain? The rain kept flowing down the brims of their hats, hitting their faces and causing pain.

Some people were wearing raincoats, but the wind made them rustle loudly, and it felt like they would be blown away at any time.

Everyone hid in the distant mountains, staring at the rushing torrent in front of them with dull eyes, their faces full of helplessness and despair.

How will I live in the future? The house I worked so hard to build is gone, everything is gone...

When Li Weiguo and Zhang Jianguo appeared there, everyone was still immersed in their own sadness and didn't pay much attention to them for a while.

Suddenly, they saw a young man crying loudly on a big tree in the distance.

The crying sound floated in this stormy environment, and it made people's heart break just by listening to it.

When Li Weiguo and Zhang Jianguo saw this situation, they bent down without saying a word, picked up the wooden boards in their hands, and started paddling hard as if they were oars.

As Zhang Jianguo rowed, he kept muttering, "Weiguo, you try harder over there. I'll control the direction. We have to get to the kid quickly."

Li Weiguo was also unambiguous and responded loudly: "Don't worry, I'm very strong and I will definitely be able to row over quickly."
