Chapter 1 The third day of the eighth lunar month

"Dad, why haven't the tide come yet?"

"Yingyin, don't worry, the tide is coming soon. Otherwise, you can come down and take a rest first, okay?" Wang Chenyang turned his head, looked at his daughter Wang Ziyin, who was riding on his neck, and said with a smile!

"Okay, just... Dad, when the tide comes, you want to say something to me!"

"Okay!" Wang Chenyang put down his daughter with the help of his wife Zhou Yunfei next to him.

This is a scene in the tide viewing point of the old salt warehouse in Haining, a scene of drizzling drizzle.

Wang Chenyang took the annual leave before school started, and took his wife and daughter to the family to travel outside. They set off from Hangzhou where they live, first to Huangshan, Anhui, and then turned east, from Anhui to Jiangsu, Wuxi, and Suzhou, and then went to Shanghai for a walk. They set off from Shanghai this morning and prepared to go home. The last stop of the journey was Haining Old Salt Warehouse, who wanted to take his wife and children to see the tide before going back.

Today is August 31st, the third day of the eighth lunar month, which is the day of astronomical tide. Due to the influence of the outer periphery of the super typhoon "Nanmadu", the tide rush of the Qiantang River will be particularly large. According to official reports, it may be even bigger than the traditional tide viewing days around August 18th. After Wang Chenyang saw this on the Internet, he added this itinerary that was not originally planned. He took his wife and daughter who had never seen the tide to Haining to Lao Yancang to see the grand occasion of the Qiantang River tide.

It has been seven days since I went out to play, and the itinerary is coming to an end. This is a very happy itinerary. Whether it is climbing Huangshan, rafting on Taihu Lake, visiting Suzhou gardens, or visiting amusement parks in Shanghai, what Wang Chenyang saw and heard were the sweet smiles and cheerful laughter on his wife and children's faces. Especially his six-year-old daughter, who is very excited every day, has never called him tired, nor has she asked her parents to carry or hug her.

Seeing that his wife and children were so happy during the trip, Wang Chenyang was also very happy. He was afraid that his wife would be tired, so he didn't let her drive. After a few days, he drove alone. Because the weather was still hot, climbing the mountain and driving for a long distance still made people feel a little tired.

Although he was a little tired, Wang Chenyang still felt very satisfied when he saw his wife and daughter's happy appearance.

The family can stay together every day and live a harmonious life. This is the life that Wang Chenyang yearns for the most. What he likes to see the smiles of his wife and daughter the most.

Wang Chenyang is 35 years old this year and is currently working at the Provincial History Institute. However, he studied medicine in college and studied for seven years in clinical medicine. He was assigned to a Grade A hospital in Hangzhou in the same year as his wife Zhou Yunfei, who graduated from nursing college. He was trained before the work of newly admitted personnel. When they first met, the tall and heroic Wang Chenyang and the gentle and beautiful Zhou Yunfei fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love. As a result, a passionate relationship began and became a good story in the hospital.

In the third year after graduation, they got married. In the third year after marriage, they had the crystallization of love and their daughter Wang Ziyin was born.

Wang Chenyang and Zhou Yunfei both like traveling very much. Whether during love or after marriage, they often use their rest time to go out for fun. The photos stored in the computer have exceeded 500 g, and the album is full of more than a dozen photos. This is a witness and record of their love. Because they often go out for travel, their understanding of each other has further deepened and their love for each other has become even more serious. They are called fairy couples by their colleagues and friends. That is, when they went to Xi'an to travel, Zhou Yunfei found out that they were pregnant. Three months before Zhou Yunfei gave birth, they camped together on Dayushan Island in Fujian. They didn't take a short break for a few years until their daughter was born.

After their daughter became sensible, they often took out photos taken during the past trip to tell their daughter about the customs and customs of various places.

The daughter Wang Ziyin seems to have inherited their nature of playing, which is quite funny to say. Wang Ziyin was just born and sometimes she cried. As long as she carried her out for a walk, she would stop crying immediately. After she became a little sensible, sometimes she would make a noise. As long as she said she would take her out to play, she would immediately burst into tears. Even if she just circled around the park or at the corner of the street, it would have this effect. When she was a little sensible, she would often shout for her parents to take them to play.

Therefore, traveling is what Wang Chenyang and his wife and children yearn for the most. I don’t know how many people envy their family’s happiness!

Because Wang Chenyang was born with a very great interest in history and did not like to work in the doctor industry, he resolutely resigned with his wife's understanding and support and passed the postgraduate degree in Peking University's History Department. This was an incomprehensible decision, which surprised almost everyone who knew him. Except for his wife's support, everyone around Wang Chenyang was firmly opposed, especially his mother, who called him and scolded him!

With the support of his wife, Wang Chenyang first communicated with his father who also liked history. He first gained his father's understanding and support, and finally convinced his mother to accept it and successfully completed his studies. Due to his excellent grades, after graduation last year, he was recommended by his mentor and returned to Hangzhou to work at the Provincial History Institute, specializing in the research on the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The income of the institute is not as good as that of the hospital, but the work is relatively easy and can be freely controlled to a large extent. Wang Chenyang often takes his wife and children out for fun while studying history. This time, he took his wife and children out for fun while his daughter was still on summer vacation and the weather was getting colder.

Wang Chenyang had seen the Qiantang River tide when he was dating Zhou Yunfei, but his daughter had never seen it. In order to satisfy her curiosity, and it was also reported on the Internet that it is said that the Qiantang River tide in the past few days may set the largest record in this century. Wang Chenyang decided to remove the original arrangement of going to the North and South Lakes to watch the tide in Haining.

After the family set out from Shanghai, they headed straight to Haining Old Salt Shop.

Although this day was not a weekend, many tourists rushed to both sides of the Qiantang River after hearing the relevant news reports. The area around the old salt warehouse in Haining was already crowded. Fortunately, they were lucky and occupied a pretty good position near the hillside.

According to the official tide time, it was around 1:30 to 2:00 p.m., which was the time when the tide was the highest. It was already around 1:00 and the tide was coming soon. In order to allow my daughter to see the spectacular tide more clearly, Wang Chenyang also asked her baby daughter to ride on his shoulders.

The little girl's mentality is not as calm as an adult. Prince Yin rode on her father's neck for less than half an hour. Before she could see the huge tide that her parents said, she lost her patience and asked her father who volunteered to be her mount from time to time some similar questions.

Wang Ziyin's body weighing nearly forty pounds on his shoulders still felt quite heavy. He had to answer many strange questions from his daughter from time to time. He was very tired. After half an hour, Wang Chenyang felt that his shoulders and neck were sore.

Sitting on his father's shoulder, his body was in the air, he only grabbed it with two hands, and there was nothing to rely on on his back. Wang Ziyin felt tired and agreed to come down to play for a while.

After putting down his daughter, Wang Chenyang immediately moved his slightly sore arms!

Because it was still summer and the weather was still hot. Although due to the influence of the typhoon, a few showers floated in the sky from time to time, which brought some coolness to people, Wang Chenyang, who had been carrying his daughter for a long time, was still sweating. In addition, the rain made his hair and clothes wet. Zhou Yunfei took out a towel and wiped the sweat and rain from his face and body very considerately. He also fed Wang Chenyang some food. The daughter on the side of the incident kept having fun and shaved Wang Chenyang, showing shame!

Wang Chenyang also shook his eyes at his daughter in response!

"Dad, isn't the tide very big in a while?" Wang Ziyin, who was drinking a bottle of milk, asked himself again this question that he had asked several times.

Wang Chenyang pinched his daughter's little nose and smiled and said, "Of course it's very big and tall, it can be as high as a dozen floors!"

"Then... Dad, will such a high tide bring us into the river?" Wang Ziyin pointed to the Qiantang River Road outside the pond dike.

"No!" Wang Chenyang shook his head and pointed to the pond embankment by the river. "This pond embankment is so strong that it is unlikely to be washed away by the tide. Even if the tide comes up and knocks people down, the pond embankment will stop people and will not sweep people into the river!"

"What if this pond embankment is a tofu project and it breaks down as soon as it is washed away?" Wang Ziyin was very worried and said seriously.

"Yingyin, don't worry, Dad used to swim in this river. With your dad here, even if the tide surges up, it won't be a problem!" Wang Chenyang's strong muscles on his body looked proud, "Dad will protect you and mom!"

"Come on, you dare to say that if you do this, it's too late if you have something to do!" The wife on the side was a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, Ziyin, your mother is right. Don't talk nonsense about what is impossible!" Wang Chenyang said with a smile.

"Then I won't say it!" Wang Ziyin had already finished drinking a bottle of milk and ran to throw the empty bottle into the trash can.

When his daughter walked over to throw the garbage, Zhou Yunfei walked to Wang Chenyang and said with a little worried: "Chenyang, somehow, I'm a little worried. Let's stand farther and look, if..."

"It won't be a problem. We are only a few meters away from the top of the slope. Even if the tide surges up, we stand high and look far, and we can see it one step earlier, and we have time to run!" Wang Chenyang pointed to the slope where they were standing and said indifferently.

"Dad, is the tide coming?" Wang Ziyin ran back after throwing the garbage and asked with Wang Chenyang's legs.

Wang Chenyang picked up Wang Ziyin and turned around, "It's coming soon, you'd better sit on your father's shoulder and watch!"

The police and other relevant personnel who maintained order were already driving away tourists standing in dangerous areas and letting them go to a safe place to watch the tide. Wang Chenyang knew that the tide was almost time to come.

Wang Chenyang signaled his wife to help, put Wang Ziyin on his shoulder again and sat on his neck.

Wang Ziyin, who was sitting with his father's head, turned around and looked around. Wang Chenyang looked at the watch in his hand. It was almost time, and a huge sound was already coming from a distance in his ears, but because of the misty water vapor on the river surface, the sight was blurred and it was not too far away.

"Dad, mom, look, there is a white line coming over there!" The boy pointed his finger at the distance of the river and shouted loudly.

"Ziyin, that's the tide. When you hear a very loud sound, it's the tide coming!" Zhou Yunfei said, holding his daughter's hand, "Look at the one that rushes over like a white line, it is called the 'first tide'... In addition to the tide, there are 'cross tide', 'Ting tide', and 'return tide'. Let's see if we can see it all!"

"Oh, Dad, tell me what you see later!"

"Okay!" Wang Chenyang, who held his daughter's legs with both hands, turned his head, looked at his wife beside him, and said loudly with a smile: "This year's tide is indeed very big, and the tide is much higher than in previous years!"

"It's very big!" Zhou Yunfei nodded, but her small voice had been drowned by the huge tide.

The tide surged, and soon rushed across the river where Wang Chenyang and his family stood, becoming overwhelming, rolling upwards, and then rushing upstream. The water level of Qiantang River suddenly became much higher, and it looked like yellow waves were rolling!

The first time I saw Wang Ziyin with such a spectacular tide was very surprised and happy. She sat on her father's shoulder and kept shouting, but because the tide was too loud, she couldn't hear anything she shouted clearly.

"Look, that's the tide of turning back!" Wang Chenyang let go of his daughter's legs with one hand and shouted in the direction of the west.

The geographical environment of Lao Yancang is different from that of Yanguan. The Qiantang River in Yanguan area is straight, and the tide is rushing westward without any obstacles. On the Qiantang River in Lao Yancang area, due to the need to reclaim and protect seawalls, a river-blocking dam of more than 600 meters is built. The roaring tide hits the oncoming embankment violently and is reflected by the embankment. Then it is rolled back with the force of Mount Tai and falls on the rapids that are moving westward, forming a row of "snow mountains", which runs eastward at lightning speed, sounding like a lion's roar, shocking the earth. This is the very famous "return tide" on the Qiantang River!

Because today is the day of astronomical tide, coupled with the influence of the typhoon, the tide is even bigger than the one known as the "largest tide of this century" two years ago, and the tide is even more spectacular. The tide that is more than ten meters high is back from west to east in the amazement of the trendsetters.

"Ah... Escape quickly! The tide is coming!" Someone in the panicked crowd shouted with his throat. Wang Chenyang, who had not heard what the people were calling, was surprised to see that the huge tide in the distance was rushing towards the shore. Several sections of pond embankment were actually washed away by the tide. The huge tide was coming to the sky and the earth was coming. Many people were stunned and stood there without reaction.

"It's really a crow's mouth just now," Wang Chenyang whispered instinctively and shouted instinctively: "Escape quickly..." Wang Chenyang grabbed his wife, who was also stunned, and ran to the slope.

But it was already late. Just as they ran to a place one or two meters away from the top of the slope, the huge tide that had washed away the seawall had rushed to them.

With a rapid reaction that he had never been before, Wang Chenyang hugged his daughter on his shoulders and threw her to the other side of the hillside with all his strength.

The tide had already rushed to where Wang Chenyang was. In addition, when he threw his daughter out, he couldn't stand firmly. Under the huge impact of the tide, Wang Chenyang couldn't help but rush forward. He also saw his wife running upwards in front of him. The moment Wang Chenyang fell down, his hand just touched his wife's body. He also pushed his wife up the top of the slope with the greatest strength he could use.

Zhou Yunfei, who was pushed to the top of the slope by Wang Chenyang, was rushed across the slope by a huge tide and rolled to the side of his daughter crying loudly. Zhou Yunfei, who was frightened, regardless of the impact of the tide rolling over the top of the slope, rolled and crawled his daughter in his arms. With the strength she had never thought of, she hugged her daughter to a high place without water, and hugged her head and cried with her frightened daughter.

Wang Chenyang, who was still a distance from the top of the slope, fell to the ground, but was swept away by the retreating tide. Together with many other trend watchers who were knocked down by the tide, he was swept into the river by the tide.

"Dad..." "Chenyang..." Wang Chenyang finally heard the huge tide mixed with the shrill shouts of his daughter and wife, and was immediately brought to the river by the huge tide. After drinking a few large gulps of the turbid river water, Wang Chenyang also adjusted his body and tried his best to paddle the water, trying to rush out of the rolling waves and return to the shore. He also saw many people falling into the water on the side paddling desperately!

Wang Chenyang, who fell into the river, was also scolding in his heart. The construction of this pond embankment was indeed like a tofu project. If this section of the pond embankment was built firmly and not washed away by the tide, even if the people on the shore were knocked down by the tide, they would be blocked by the pond embankment and would not be involved in the Qiantang River.

The tide head on the main river channel has extended far toward the upstream direction, and the tide head of the tide back was also wiped out by the tide in the opposite direction. At this time, the tide was fluctuating relatively smoothly, and the staff who maintained order on the shore were also busy preparing to save people. Wang Chenyang saw hope.

Just as Wang Chenyang was about to swim to the shore, a large piece of gravel of pond burrow was rushed over from the shore by the tide. The exhausted Wang Chenyang had no time to avoid it, and the gravel hit his head and suddenly lost consciousness...

-------------------------

On that day, several TV stations reported several news reports: The super typhoon "Nanmadu" landed on the coast of Jinjiang, Fujian, which brought heavy rainfall to most of Fujian and central and southern Zhejiang, causing disasters in many places in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, nearly one million people were affected, and the Qiantang River caused a huge tide of more than 20 meters high... At about 1:30 p.m., a tide viewing point near Haining on the north bank of Qiantang River. The guardrail of a hundred-meter embankment was interrupted by the surging back tide. More than a hundred tide viewers were swept down the river embankment by the tide... Except for one person who fell into the river, the rest were rescued and placed in various hospitals in Haining for treatment, more than 20 of them were injured...

In the TV screen, the scene of the missing wife and daughter crying heart-wrenchingly makes countless viewers cry...
