During the trekking process, there were many landslides and loose soil. Rockfalls and broken trees could be seen everywhere, making it difficult to travel. The continuous scouring of the rainstorm caused the river to branch, and the rapids cut off the mountain road, and the deepest point was over 1 meter.
Under the situation of emergency and danger, the rescuers marched into the lost village in the rain, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.

Most of the people in the lost villages are the elderly, who are inconvenient to move, and the road is dangerous. The rescuers have to use the methods of carrying, holding, and holding them to protect the villagers to the maximum extent.
Considering that the villagers live in the village all the year round and have very deep feelings, the rescuers appeased the villagers' emotions all the way.

"Comrade, thank you, if you don't come, how can we get out?" a villager said, holding the rescuer's hand.
