On July 28th, this is a day that many people in Baijia Town have deep memories. That morning, Xiao Zhen personally went to Qianjianlu and persuaded the stubborn vendors for three consecutive hours, repeatedly promising to refund their rent. The underground passage was already a little wet at this time, and it was not pleasant to live in it damp and stuffy. Under Xiao Zhen's repeated persuasion, the vendors were moved by Xiao Zhen's sincerity, and finally began to pack up their goods and move out of the underground passage one after another.

In the afternoon, when Xiao Zhen had just finished checking the water situation from the river beach and passed the old wooden house in the west of the town, a two-story wooden house finally failed to withstand the continuous heavy rain and water immersion, and collapsed. When he heard that there was a lonely old man in his 70s living in the house, Xiao Zhen organized everyone to brave the rain to carry out rescue without saying a word, and finally he personally drilled into a passage that could lead to the internal gap of the ruins, and picked up the unconscious old man from the ruins of a pile of earthen walls. At this time, Xiao Zhen's face was covered with rain and sludge, and he was no longer recognizable, and there were several abrasions on his body.

Seeing that the rescued old man was no longer in serious trouble, Xiao Zhen immediately organized everyone to help several other elderly people who had not yet moved out of the dilapidated house. Because they had just experienced the danger and saw Xiao Zhen's feat of sacrificing themselves to save people, the old people were no longer embarrassed by Xiao Zhen, and everyone was full of energy under Xiao Zhen's infection and stepped up to complete the relocation task. It wasn't until around seven o'clock in the evening that Xiao Zhen returned to the dormitory and hurriedly washed up, and immediately rushed to the office. He can't rest at this moment, because he has once again received the latest news from the National Weather Service, and these two days are the most critical moments.

At this time, in the tea shop, Long Zaihai was on the phone, and the three people next to him looked cramped and uneasy. It turned out that Director Ma had just gotten the inside news that the Yucun River Dam, the dam in the upper reaches of the Baimeng River, had fallen into disrepair for a long time, coupled with the high water storage during this period, and had just discovered serious safety hazards, and there was even a danger of bursting the embankment. The news has not yet been finalized, but tonight's flood release is already a sure thing. Seeing that the current Baijia Town is already like a city in a stream, if it is once the flood is discharged, the consequences are really unimaginable. Long Zaihai is a person who pulls relationships, engages in power tricks, and plays official power, but it is impossible for him to be responsible for emergency response to flood fighting and rescue. At this time, Deputy Mayor Bai reminded him that Xiao Zhen likes to engage in flood control and flood control, so let him do it, and Long Zaihai just needs to find a way to get out. Long Zaihai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately called his deputy mayor's brother-in-law for help.

Putting down the phone, Long Zaihai looked relaxed and said to everyone: "It just so happens that tomorrow the city will hold a township economic symposium in Longshui Town, east of the city. I wasn't interested in it before, but the deputy mayor said that this meeting is very important and we should attach great importance to it. So I decided to personally lead the team, with Deputy Mayor Bai and Director Ma attending the meeting."

After a pause, Long Zaihai continued: "This meeting will be officially held at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and the report will start at 8 o'clock, our town is dozens of kilometers away from there, if it passes early tomorrow morning, I am afraid that there will be some delays, I think we will leave tonight overnight." Deputy Mayor Bai and Director Ma, who understood it, suddenly smiled and called Long Zai Hai Gaoming. So a few people hurriedly cleaned up and left Baijia Town by car overnight.

At this time, it was close to 9 o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Zhen was still discussing work with Deputy Mayor Zhang in the office. Deputy Mayor Zhang is now the only member of the leadership team in the town who recognizes Xiao Zhen and dares to fight side by side with Xiao Zhen. Because Deputy Mayor Zhang also has some power behind him, and he is low-key and doesn't like to fight for power and profit, although he has been in Baijia Town for many years, Long Zaihai is too lazy to provoke him. Since Xiao Zhen took office, his pragmatic work style, strong will to defy difficulties, and the spirit of sincerely doing things for the people have slowly infected him, so he has gradually stood on Xiao Zhen's side.

At this time, Long Zaihai's phone directly knocked down Xiao Zhen here, on the phone, Long Zaihai told Xiao Zhen that he followed the notice of the city, and rushed to Longshui Town overnight with Deputy Mayor Zhang and Director Ma to prepare for the meeting early tomorrow morning, and now he is on the way, and Xiao Zhen is fully responsible for anything in the town during this time.

After receiving the news that Long Zaihai rushed to Longshui Town for a meeting overnight, Xiao Zhen was still a little puzzled, what kind of meeting needed so much attention, and rushed over overnight. Deputy Mayor Zhang, who knows Long Zaihai better, thought for a while and said, "I think we have to be careful what tricks Long Zaihai plays." His operation is a bit strange, and most of them have some ulterior motives hidden behind it. ”

While the two were speculating, the Baimeng River dam was in danger of bursting, and the official news that the flood would be gradually opened in the early hours of the morning was finally issued. The moment Xiao Zhen got the notice, the mystery in his heart was solved, and a majestic anger rose in his heart, and he slammed the table and roared: "Long Zaihai, you fucking escape!" At this time, the third fire after Xiao Zhen took office finally changed from a flame to a majestic fire, and this fire, together with the previous two fires, will eventually burn all the darkness of Baijia Town, and return Baijia Town to light.

Time is pressing, and Xiao Zhen can't care about Long Zaihai's shameless behavior at this time. After thinking for a while, he immediately split up and made a few phone calls.

The first call was made to Wei Dayuan, the director of the town police station, and asked him to organize all the police and auxiliary police overnight to be ready to fight floods, rescue and respond to stability incidents. Although the police station is not under the direct jurisdiction of the town, Wei Dayuan, who knew that the situation was urgent, did not hesitate for a moment, saying that he would fully cooperate with the town's work and obey the flood control instructions.

The second call was made to the project leader of the quarry excavation channel and the opening of the flood channel, asking them to immediately increase the number of people to excavate overnight and dig the last 200 meters as soon as possible. Xiao Zhen also specially told them on the phone that time is money and time is life. An hour earlier, Baijia Town's flood relief efforts would have a better chance of victory.

The third phone call was made to the comrades in charge of contacting the communities in the town, asking him to immediately notify each community to take action, closely monitor and mobilize in depth, make preparations for flood prevention and evacuation, and ensure the safety of the people's property.

After making the call, Xiao Zhen looked at Deputy Mayor Zhang: "Lao Zhang, you quickly inform the comrades in the mobilization town, except for the people in charge of specific flood control projects, the others have gathered and rushed to Yuluan Bay, where the terrain is the lowest, the river is urgent, and the river bank protection is poor." It is the weakest point of flood control in our town. In any case, it is necessary to hold on there and hold out until the flood peak passes. ”

"Okay, I'll go now" Deputy Mayor Zhang immediately turned around and left. Xiao Zhen then called Director Wu of the Finance Office and prepared to mobilize flood control materials to go to Yuluan Bay.

The warehouse for flood control supplies is not far from the bearded bar. Bai Shuo, Cao An and others, who were gathering in the bar rain or shine, suddenly saw Xiao Zhen busy in the distance wearing a raincoat, so they all raised umbrellas and surrounded them. After learning about the flood situation again, Bai Shuo immediately gathered everyone to help escort the supplies to Yuluo Bay with Xiao Zhen. Everyone didn't say a word, and they all followed, and some didn't even have an umbrella immediately, just followed the team all the way in the rain. Seeing that there were not many people, Cao An was very popular, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to mobilize more young and strong laborers.

Speaking of "Fish Rolling Bay", there are still some origins here. Because this is a sharp bay of the Baimeng River, and the low-lying terrain here is turbulent, and the water is turbulent, every time the water rises, it will be the most ferocious section here. It is said that the fish in the river swim here and sometimes fail to stop and are swept ashore by the rapids, hence the name. However, at this time, Fish Rolling Bay can no longer be called Fish Rolling Bay, because it has become a "Fish Rolling Beach", and the water has overflowed the original river shoreline, forming a wide water stall. On the beach is a secondary flood control levee that is not too strong.

Xiao Zhen led everyone to use the flood control embankment as the foundation, and used sacks to load sand and gravel and fill soil for reinforcement. He took the lead first, constantly carrying sandbags to the embankment with both hands, a bag of sand and gravel cost more than 100 catties, he had one in one hand, back and forth several times, and he didn't look tired at all. Everyone saw that the mayor of Xiao Zhen was completely taking the lead in the work, not just shouting slogans and making a show, so they all devoted themselves to the flood control battle.

After a while, more than 30 comrades from the police station, under the leadership of Director Wei Dayuan, also rushed here. It turned out that after Wei Dayuan gathered all the police forces in the station, he heard that Mayor Xiao had arrived at Yuluan Bay, so he asked the female comrades and old comrades to stay at the police station, and another team of people was sent along the river to assist in patrolling the river, and the rest of the people rushed here to support.

Immediately afterwards, Deputy Mayor Zhang also led the personnel of various units in the town to the scene. After receiving life jackets and other protective equipment, everyone immediately devoted themselves to preparing for flood control according to their assigned tasks. The strength of the people is great, and the speed of the consolidation of the river embankment suddenly accelerated a lot, and looking at the progress, Xiao Zhen's confidence in resisting the flood peak began to increase.

The rain fell even harder, and at 11 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhen got the news again that there was a new situation in the Baimeng River Dam, and it must be immediately discharged and repaired. In the face of the sudden change, Xiao Zhen calculated that the time left for them was only about an hour. While encouraging everyone to quickly strengthen the riverbank, he once again told the people in the low-lying areas of the town to immediately evacuate to higher ground.

But at this time, a bad news came: a section of the river embankment upstream, due to the sharp rise of the river today, three sections of the river embankment suddenly collapsed partially, and the guards deployed there were obviously insufficient, and the flood water has now spread through the gap to the old wooden house area west of the town. If Hong Feng arrives, the entire Baijia Town will be a country.

Xiao Zhen immediately handed over the work here in Yuluan Bay to Deputy Mayor Zhang, and he dispatched more than 30 people, including Bai Shuo and Zhuzi, and hurriedly rushed upstream to support. Bai Shuo also hurriedly called Cao An and asked him to take the organized people directly to the upstream gap position.

Cao An organized more than 30 young and strong laborers, and after receiving the call, they rushed directly upstream, and even arrived at the accident site first. By the time Xiao Zhen, Bai Shuo and others arrived, the other two smaller gaps had already been blocked by the nearby masses and had become controllable. But a large gap can't be plugged no matter what. Xiao Zhen once again organized people to throw sacks and stones into the gap, but almost as many as they threw washed away. By this time, the flood had overflowed the western part of the town and rushed to the center of the town. Although the flood water was not large when it dispersed, it still filled the underground passages along the way almost instantly. Afterwards, those vendors were very grateful to Xiao Zhen, if it weren't for his persistence, not only would everyone be in the soup now, maybe the people who were keeping vigil inside might not be able to get out in time. Of course, there are still a small amount of goods that have not come and been withdrawn, but they are insignificant compared to life.

Hong Feng is coming soon, and when Hong Feng arrives, this place will not be blocked no matter what, but all the efforts made by everyone will be in vain. In the face of the critical situation, I saw Xiao Zhen suddenly pick up a safety rope and tie it to his body, pick up two bags of sand and gravel and jump directly into the gap with the material, the flood instantly rushed to his whole body, fortunately, the rope is still quite strong, Xiao Zhen has always been swaying around in the gap position with difficulty with the sack, the total weight of the two bags of sand and gravel is almost more than 200 catties, plus the impact of the water, Xiao Zhen was blocked, and the flood did not let the sack and himself wash away.

"Damn, this official is fiercer than me!" Cao An was obviously stunned when he saw this scene.

Another figure flashed, and Bai Shuo actually jumped into the water with a sack, and then collided with Xiao Zhen in an instant under the impact of the water. The two twisted together in the water, supporting each other, holding the sacks, trying to close the gap.

"Damn, Lao Tzu also fights. Cao An couldn't hold back any longer, he didn't even tie the rope, put the white rope on his hand, and slid into the water from the edge of the gap. Under their leadership, more and more people jumped into the water, and the people on the shore immediately continued to deliver sacks underwater. Time passed minute by minute, and finally, all the gaps were blocked before the flood peak arrived. The people on the shore also quickly pulled the people in the water up.

The flood peak roared in, making a roar in the dark night, which made people feel frightened. The time has finally come to test the results, a minute, a minute, a minute, a ten...... , the flood gradually began to show a downward trend from the high.

"The flood peak has passed, it has passed. The experienced old man sighed excitedly. Everyone cheered excitedly, and the dozen or so people who jumped into the water were all wading on the muddy shore at this time, and they fell to the ground in the mud, panting for breath, unable to move.

After a while, there was also good news from the downstream side of Yuluan Bay, when the flood peak passed, although there were some thrills, a flood almost overflowed the embankment, but with the efforts of everyone, it finally passed without danger......
