After all, that 49-meter-high, one-of-a-kind loft apartment wasn't rented by Xia Ziling; she bought it.
Xu Fan's plane landed in Jincheng, and then he immediately transferred to another vehicle and went to Zhoucheng.
This county town was eroded by mudslides.
When the sun rose the next day, Xu Fan met Zhao Feiyang.
When Xu Fan saw Zhao Feiyang again, his eyes were filled with disbelief. The fat man who had looked so energetic just two days ago now looked exhausted.
The rain fell on my body, and my hair was already soaked.
The ground was covered in mud, and the marks left by the mudslide were so shocking.
Xu Fan heard Zhao Feiyang say that Zhoucheng was hit by a sudden torrential rain on Sunday night, with rainfall reaching 97 millimeters and lasting for more than 40 minutes. This triggered a major flash flood and geological disaster, with mudslides that were about 5 kilometers long, 300 meters wide on average, 5 meters thick on average, and had a total volume of 750 million cubic meters. The area that flowed through them was leveled.
To put it simply, these figures represent villages being completely razed to the ground by mudslides. When Xu Fan heard Zhao Feiyang say that hundreds of people had already died, even the strongest-willed Xu Fan was deeply shocked.
Xu Fan was just an ordinary person. He had seen many life-and-death situations, but he had never seen such a large-scale death accident.
Zhao Feiyang's parents are both in charge of the Red Heart Foundation, and at this moment they have no time to deal with the arrival of their child's classmates.
Xu Fan rolled up his sleeves and said directly, "Let's go. If there's anything we can help with, we'll do it together."
Seeing Xu Fan's appearance, Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "The Red Heart Foundation has brought one million yuan worth of supplies. Now that you're here, let's all help them as volunteers."
Xu Fan nodded, and the two of them did not hesitate at all.
Heading towards the disaster area, the officers and soldiers did not stop at all, racing against time, just to find that one in ten thousand chance of survival.
At this point, twenty-three hours had passed since the mudslide.
In fact, at this time, the rescue was a constant search for hope by all the officers and soldiers in despair.
Xu Fan felt a tightness in his heart as he looked at the devastation. The houses were torn to shreds like pieces of paper, lying on the ground and scattered everywhere by the mudslide.
He listened to the pattering of the raindrops hitting the tent, and it felt like needles were pricking his heart.
There were no highways to speak of; all the walkable paths were created step by step by soldiers and volunteers in the later stages.
Tents, bottled water, and instant noodles became the delicacies of this time.
Xu Fan saw a soldier wolf down his instant noodles before grabbing his tools and throwing himself back into the rescue effort. To his horror, the soldier then picked up the noodles that had fallen to the ground from his hasty eating and fed them to himself.
At this moment, Xu Fan was even more shocked than he could have imagined.
Who are their fathers, and whose children are they?
They bravely stood at the forefront of danger; they are the true heroes in this moment.
At least at this moment, Xu Fan felt that so-called celebrities were not even in the same league as them.
Even if they don't make any money, they still forge ahead.
On this day, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang also did their best to help the disaster victims, becoming thorough volunteers. He was tired and in pain, but he had no regrets.
He knew he lacked the professional knowledge to step forward, but he was willing to do everything within his capabilities.
He didn't realize how tired he was until he lay down on a patch of dried mud and fell into a deep sleep.
However, at that moment, he suddenly heard a shout while he was in a daze.
"Someone's alive! Someone's alive here! Help!"
The scream made Xu Fan open his eyes abruptly, and he was even more shocked, or rather, stunned.
It has been a full thirty hours since the mudslide, and it is incredible that there are still people alive. What kind of belief has kept him going?
Zhao Feiyang had already run over from a distance, and the two of them followed some volunteers and soldiers toward the sound.
The excavator has already started digging, but the last few centimeters are completely immovable.
Because they discovered that the person buried by the mudslide who survived for thirty hours was a mother.
She was also holding a child who looked to be about three years old.
They were covered by houses.
The mudslide trapped the mother's legs completely, making it impossible for her to move.
If it weren't for the excavators constantly digging and searching, and clearing the houses for a long time, it's very likely that no one would have discovered it.
The excavator dared not move, because no one knew if a sudden mishap would cause the house to collapse and crush this great mother.
Zhao Feiyang's eyes reddened as he watched this scene. He said softly, "Before you came, I saw a father tightly embracing his child. When we rescued the child, that father was already gone."
Xu Fan glared at Zhao Feiyang and said, "Don't talk such discouraging things. She's still alive and well."
Zhao Feiyang remained silent, only nodding earnestly.
A group of lovely people rushed up and began manually dismantling the surrounding barriers with shovels.
One shovel, two shovels
Wow!
You can't imagine how heartbreaking it is to hear a child suddenly cry.
The moment a soldier knelt in the mud and pulled the child out, everyone cheered and felt relieved.
Thirty hours later, the child was still alive.
Another mother, when she took her child from her arms, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then collapsed into the water, completely exhausted.
Perhaps the child was tired, or perhaps the mother had been protecting the child the whole time, so the child only started crying when the lovely person took the child from her.
Those lovely people didn't hesitate at all and rushed forward to help.
The mother was also rescued.
still alive.
This is better than any other outcome.
Even though everyone was exhausted and at a loss, when they saw that the child and mother were safe and sound with only minor injuries, everyone's face lit up with smiles.
Zhao Feiyang collapsed to the ground.
Xu Fan carried the child to the emergency stretcher. Seeing that the child had stopped crying, he finally couldn't hold back his tears.
He had witnessed too many life-and-death situations in the hospital, but seeing the tenacity of life and the greatness of a mother at this moment, the fragile nerve deep within his heart was once again pierced.
Xu Fan finally met Zhao Feiyang's parents. Zhao Feiyang's father was very thin and tall. He didn't look like a leader. Instead, he looked more like a farmer who had done countless hard labors.
Zhao Quan Hai handed a bottle of mineral water to Xu Fan and said, "Fei Yang has always praised you for being so outstanding. Seeing you today, I can confirm he was right."
Xu Fan took the bottle of mineral water and drank it in big gulps. He then handed the bottle to Zhao Feiyang and said to the two of them, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. You've worked hard."
Zhao Quan Hai's wife was taken aback, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little sad. She took a deep breath and said, "This is all we should do. We like this job."
Xu Fan knew that their willingness to do this was not just because of their profession, but because the love in their hearts was their greatest motivation.
The four of them then went into a tent.
There were seven or eight children in the tent, sitting together listening to a girl telling a story.

===Chapter 30 A Tick-Tock===
The weather in July was slightly warm, but after the rain, the temperature felt even more muggy.
An old, worn-out fan whirred and whirred on and on.
A group of children listened intently. When the girl saw Xu Fan and the others enter, she stopped talking and introduced herself.
It turns out she was also a volunteer, but she had come here a long time ago to work as a volunteer teacher.
And the group of children in front of her are her students.
The girl's name is Du Xiaoran. She is from Sichuan Province. She is rather petite, and appears even smaller in this environment.
Zhao Quan Hai brought over a few stools and said, "Please sit down!"
There's no pleasant environment here; all you'll find are dilapidated, tattered tents that look rather harsh.
Zhao Quanhai said, "When we first arrived, this place was filled with endless mudslides, and people were in grave danger. Those soldiers bravely stepped forward and carried countless people out of the mud pits. I brought Feiyang here so that he could see how insignificant life can be."
Zhao's mother also said, "Xiao Fan, the situation is basically clear now. This mudslide is indeed quite serious. Our foundation has invested a lot of manpower and resources, and I have also met many brave volunteers like you."
Xu Fan said, "We are all actually very small, but we will do our best within our power."
Zhao Quan Hai nodded and said, "Well done."
After saying that, Zhao Quan Hai added, "We will continue the search and rescue work, but more important is to comfort and provide mental health support. We need to use a positive attitude to help more people face this situation."
Sitting among a group of children, Du Xiaoran said, "The children are still studying hard, but the deceased can never be brought back. Life is actually very fragile. If the children, or those who are unable to get through their grief, do not receive good psychological support, it is not good."
Xu Fan looked at Zhao Quan Hai and said, "You mean, our main job is to do psychological work?"
Zhao Quan Hai said, "Whether it's you, Fei Yang, or Teacher Du, you are all promising young college students, and there are many college student volunteers like you. The group of children is the most affected by the psychological impact. Letting them see the light is more important than anything else."
Zhao Feiyang said, "Dad, leave this to us."
The Red Heart Foundation handed over the issue of mental health to Xu Fan and others. Zhao Quan Hai continued, "Okay, you guys take a break, I have to go and get busy."
Zhao Quan Hai stood up and left with his wife.
Du Xiaoran said, "Children, call him big brother."
Hello, big brother!
The children smiled and called out softly on their innocent and lovely faces, and Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat.
He saw the sadness, the stubbornness, and the sorrow on the children's faces.
They looked so small, yet they seemed so strong.
Looking at the children, Zhao Feiyang suddenly said, "Old Xu, why don't you sing a song?"
Du Xiaoran said from the side, "What, you can sing?"
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Okay!"
Du Xiaoran's eyes widened, thinking to herself, "Aren't they even going to be humble?"
Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Du Xiaoran's hand on a child's shoulder, and he subconsciously thought of a song.
"Just like you"
