Ouyang Feng didn't sleep all night, to be exact, he had no place to sleep, and he didn't dare to sleep, not to say anything about doing anything in such a cave, it was like going up to the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire until dawn.

It rained all night last night, Ouyang Feng was worried about the safety of the county, now there is no news, the tasks assigned above, the reaction to the situation below, he doesn't know anything, such an information age, leaving it is like a deaf and blind person.

As soon as the sky was hazy, Ouyang Feng made some arrangements for some work, and took Liao Juntao to prepare to return to the county seat, and the township chief Lu Wenming had to send him down the mountain, but he saw that it was not dawn, so he had to agree.

Ouyang Feng and the others were drenched all over their bodies, and when they got to the car, he simply took off all his clothes and wrung them out one by one, it was better to wear them on his body than to get wet.

Along the rugged mountain road, after walking for a while, there were falling rocks on the mountain blocking the way out of the car, they had to get out of the car and several people worked together to remove the stones in the middle of the road, Ouyang Feng saw that the large and small mountain ponds along the way were all filled with mountain torrents, and the ditches under the mountains became surging torrents, he was anxious, knowing that the county was in danger.

As soon as he arrived at the place where there was a signal, his mobile phone was a ringtone of receiving information, and he knew that the biggest test he faced was not to send a few people to the mine to rescue, but to put the lives of more than 100,000 people in the county in danger.

He looked through all the messages sent, one of them was sent by Ding Kecheng, he looked at the time, it was sent at 4:10 in the morning, and his tone was to accuse him of ignoring his superiors, leaving his post without permission during the flood fighting and rescue work, and leaving the front-line command, resulting in the lack of embankment in a large section of the river embankment on the west bank, and more than 30,000 people in the center of the city did not evacuate.

Before he finished reading the message, Luo Zhixiang's phone call came in, and he said eagerly: "County Magistrate Ouyang, your phone call has finally been connected, Vice Governor Chen is already on the west bank embankment, where are you now?"

Vice Governor Chen is in charge of agriculture in the province, and is also the commander of the flood control work, yesterday the inspection went to City A, when he heard the mountain city emergency, rushed over overnight, the embankment collapsed, but the evacuation of personnel was not notified in place at the first time, Ouyang Feng suddenly felt the pressure above his head like a mountain.

"I just arrived in the county seat, and I want to find a way to get over. Ouyang Feng didn't finish speaking, but the phone was interrupted, and he called back, but he couldn't get through. He felt that the disaster was still expanding, and all the signals had been cut off.

Ouyang Feng's ability to respond to such a major disaster still has certain limitations, and he lacks the courage to make major decisions. But his positivity and enthusiasm can infect everyone around him.

Standing on the river embankment, Ouyang Feng saw the torrent in front of him, mixed with all kinds of weeds in the flood peak, and from time to time accompanied by the corpses of animals flowing down together, this scene made people feel an inexplicable sense of fear in their hearts!

"Juntao, what can we do to make a detour to the west bank of the river?" Ouyang Feng saw Liao Juntao with his hands on his hips and his eyes on the endless torrent, and said: "We must find a way to rush to Xicheng District, if we don't rush to the scene now, the seriousness of the consequences can be imagined." "When Ouyang Feng said the consequences, of course, he meant his personal considerations.

"Now that the communications are all cut off, everything must be done to restore the chain of command. As soon as Liao Juntao finished speaking, Ouyang Feng's mobile phone rang, and he was so happy that he immediately pressed the answer button and said: " I'm Ouyang Feng, well, County Magistrate Liu, you're in Xicheng District, okay, that's good, I'm asking for reinforcements from the Zhouqiao troops, um, okay, all the private boats must be mobilized, and the trapped masses must be checked house by house, and all of them must be transferred to the safe zone, well, it's good to implement it, now Vice Governor Chen is here, we must ensure the safety of their group, um, I'm here on the East River, I want to find a way to rush over, well, we must follow up on the logistics of the transferred masses to ensure that their lives are guaranteed, there are not so many tents? How many are the shortfalls? 10,000? Okay, report to the municipal party committee. Uh-huh. Ouyang Feng has too much to say, he has been here for three years, and there has been a shortage of embankments for two years, but the situation has never been so serious this year, standing on the moat in the east of the river, looking at the vast torrent, Ouyang Feng was full of tears, he was very emotional, he wanted to build the berm project on the bank of the West River embankment in his office.

Liao Juntao called the Minister of Armed Forces and brought in an assault boat, and he and Ouyang Feng rushed to Xicheng District.

Ouyang Feng saw a big boat opposite, on the boat stood Vice Governor Chen, with Ding Shucheng, secretary of the county party committee, Zhang Yunlei, minister of armed forces, and Zou Lina, executive mayor of the city, who was familiar with Vice Governor Chen Ouyang Feng.

On the big boat, Vice Governor Chen recognized Ouyang Feng at a glance, and saw that his entire clothes were soaked in the rain, his white shirt was tightly attached to his body, his hair was messy, the rain sometimes dripped from his hair to his face, his trouser legs were full of yellow mud, and the leather shoes on his feet were also soaked in the rain. This is his real image now, not pretend. A provincial newspaper reporter pressed the shutter, and the provincial station reporter also stared at the county magistrate, who seemed to have fallen into the water.

Seeing Ouyang Feng's appearance, Vice Governor Chen was about to criticize him seriously, but now he became pitiful and asked, "Your name is ...... Well, Ouyang Feng, have you become a county magistrate?"

Ouyang Feng confessed, and Vice Governor Chen said: "This is the third time in the past few years that the Xihe embankment has been lacking? Why hasn't the county taken measures?" Vice Governor Chen turned to Ding Kecheng, and it seemed that he was still full of resentment.

On the right side of the big boat, the flood fighting and rescue interview group organized by the province was interviewing the relevant person in charge of the Water Conservancy Bureau, Ouyang Feng glanced at it, and found that there seemed to be a familiar figure in the crowd, and that light and tall figure made Ouyang Feng recognize it at once, and his heart was shocked, how could it be her? Tang Yanhong, they were still together the night before yesterday, but they met again today.

Of course, Tang Yanhong knew that when she came to Shancheng this time, she would definitely see Ouyang Feng, but her heart was calm, she reported to the newspaper office yesterday, she asked herself to go to the front line to interview the flood fighting and rescue work, and after getting approved, she actually went to a hard-hit area like Shancheng, and when she arrived here, she didn't have time to tell him. When she saw Ouyang Feng, in such a crowded scene, of course she pretended not to know him.

Ouyang Feng wanted to take the time to report the mine's rescue work to Ding Kecheng, but when he saw Vice Governor Chen present, he took back what he wanted to say.

On the big boat, there is the temporary headquarters of the flood control work, Vice Governor Chen is giving instructions, Ding Kecheng and Ouyang Feng are leading the way, standing beside Vice Governor Chen and listening. I don't know when, Tang Yanhong also came over to record Vice Governor Chen's speech.

The rain was still falling, and Ouyang Feng suddenly received a notice that the flood discharge volume of the Chenjiaqiao Reservoir upstream was going to increase; according to the data, it was half the amount of flood discharge that was now increased, and it was expected that the flood peak would pass through at about 3 o'clock in the morning today. Then it passes through three towns and one town, and finally joins the current Xichu River.

This streamline originally existed before 1967, when in order to change the river and make land, this section of the estuary was intercepted, adding nearly 10,000 acres.

Ouyang Feng called the hydrological station and asked how much the height of the flood peak at the time of its crossing had affected the now heightened embankment on the east bank. The reply was that the water level was about a metre higher than it is now.

Ouyang Feng decisively decided that in addition to the search and rescue personnel, all manpower and material resources in Xicheng would support the embankment on the east bank. To ensure the security of the east bank absolutely, the plan was quickly agreed by Vice Governor Chen, who was in command on the spot.

In the evening, the rain finally stopped, but the electricity in the entire mountain city was all out, Ouyang Feng arranged Vice Governor Chen to live in the Wutongshan Hotel, returned to the ** family courtyard to take a bath, and then rushed to the east bank of the embankment, he sat in the command car of the flood control office, he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and the serious physical overdraft made him exhausted, he just wanted to lie down in the back seat to rest for a while, the mobile phone received a WeChat message sound, he didn't want to pay attention to it, he was too sleepy, but he sent several messages in a row. He clicked on it and saw that it was sent by Tang Yanhong, starting with a small video, obviously taken while sitting in the car, followed by a few paragraphs, telling him that he had received a task and temporarily rushed to the next county for an interview, and said some words of thanks.

Ouyang Feng saw it, and he was extremely emotional in his heart, what a good woman, he felt that he was really sorry for her, he came to the mountain city, although he saw it, but he didn't say a word, he thought of this, and his heart unconsciously hurt a little. sent her a message back: Yan Hong, pay attention to safety, and protect yourself in the face of floods.

Ouyang Feng saw that she didn't reply to him, so he turned off his mobile phone and told the secretary that he slept in the car for an hour and woke him up after an hour, and he would stick to the Hongfeng crossing to ensure the absolute safety of the river embankment on the east bank.

After several days of heavy rain, it finally cleared up today, and after the flood peak passed last night, the water level is now falling quickly, and the west bank embankment should be blocked before dark, if there is no accident. Ouyang Feng's mood began to improve, he took the breakfast bought by the secretary, just took a bite, and saw Zhu Zhipeng, the head of Niuzhai Township, calling him, he pressed the answer and asked: "Township Chief Zhu, there is no danger in the Niuzhai Reservoir." ”

In addition, the county magistrate Ou, a female reporter in the province, was swept away by the flood in order to save a student who had fallen into the water. Zhu Zhipeng didn't finish speaking, and Ouyang Feng asked eagerly: "When, what is the reporter's name?"

"At seven o'clock this morning, it was said that it was from the provincial capital, the surname was Tang, the name was not clear, and we were organizing a search and rescue, but you know, we are not professional either, so I asked the county to ...... Hey, hey......" Zhu Zhipeng thought that the mobile phone signal was not good, but in fact, when Ouyang Feng heard that the reporter's surname was Tang, his mind was blank, and a fritter in his hand fell to the ground......
