The rain poured down. It's like a silent warning, a warning of a looming crisis, a warning from nature.........

Fifteen hours ago, more than a dozen villages in the Bianshan River valley were flooded, and an orange alert was placed in the reservoir area, which attracted the attention of the county government. Began to organize flood relief.

Ten hours ago, the provincial water resources department proposed a flood discharge plan, and the county government could not afford to organize a migration of this scale and called for help from Dayuan. Following the red alert in the reservoir area and the hydrological observation station of the Provincial Department of Water Resources issued a flood peak warning, the municipal government had no choice but to deploy a large-scale urban police force to participate in the war.

After the completion of the second reservoir of the Fen River a few years ago, the flood control standard announced is once in a century, the time when the Fen River is broken is more, and there is less time for water, no one has expected the flood disaster, and a lot of time has been spent in the tug between the layers of institutions, with the continuous rise of the warning water level of the second reservoir. The atmosphere began to get more and more tense.

The government department, which has been living in peace for a long time, seems to be a little flustered in the face of the floods. More than 10,000 troops and militia members have already rushed to the front line, and the police force in the urban area has also been transferred to the front line.

In the city government building, it is rare that the lights are still bright after midnight, and the small sign of the flood control and drought control headquarters, which is usually quiet in a corner and does not attract attention, has become the focal point, and the heads and brains of several departments such as the government, water conservancy, military region, and public security have gathered here to form a temporary command and decision-making department. Compared with efficiency, the government pays attention to collective decision-making, job ranking, and leadership responsibility. Although the word "people" is not valuable, no matter how much he puts it with the black yarn, it will not be lighter than the weight of the black yarn. No one dares to take this lightly.

On the large display screen of 1,200 lumens, several winding rivers are marked, and experts from the hydrological observation station of the Provincial Department of Water Resources stand in front of the screen and explain: "At present, the second reservoir of the Fenhe River is 9.2 meters higher than the warning water level, the red alert has been issued for six hours, and the water level is still rising. …… According to the command of the Provincial Department of Water Resources and the Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, we are preparing to blow up the Bianshan River dam here at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, before the first flood peak arrives, and discharge the flood from the tributaries Xiaoluo River and Wulong River. Synchronized with the reservoir area, the main problem now is that more than a dozen villages in the flood discharge area, such as Zhoujiawan, Raiyagou, Hanzhai, Qianbeicun, and Daizhuang, will be flooded, and more than 8,000 people will have to relocate, and the local government does not have the ability to do so, and this is the most difficult thing in the whole work...... However, this plan is the least to lose. ”

In August 1955, the heavy rain in the west mountain of Ohara flooded 743 factories, 83 people died, and 176 houses collapsed............ In August 1959, heavy rainfall fell in the middle reaches of the Fenhe River, with a maximum rainfall of 175mm, flooding 38,000 hm2 of farmland in Jiaocheng, Fenyang and Pingyao counties, and killing 23 people. More than 5ooo houses collapsed. In July 1969, heavy rain in Ohara Higashiyama flooded the Ohara Iron and Steel Plant, flooding 13 workshops and killing 24 people. In August 1977, a heavy rainstorm in the middle reaches of the Fen River centered on Pingyao affected an area of 80,000 hm2, killed more than 7o people, and collapsed more than 30,000 houses. In August 1982, Wulong County was hit by torrential rainfall, with a maximum rainfall of 25omm, 318 villages were affected, 49 people died, and 36oo houses collapsed............

The commander-in-chief of the headquarters is the current mayor, although he doesn't know how to fight the flood, but he knows in his heart the importance of these data, if such a period of history is reproduced, if the second reservoir of the Fenhe River, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, can't stop the flood and can't keep the plain, then he may also become history.

Wordlessly, he took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Director Liang, are your public security personnel in place?"

"More than 3,000 armed police, special police, and front-line public security officers and policemen who were transferred from Dayuan have rushed to the scene and begun to evacuate the masses. The road was washed out in more than a dozen places, so there was a bit of a delay in time. ”

"It's 1:40 a.m., less than six hours before dawn, are you sure?"

"We'll do our best. ”

Although the Public Security Bureau went all out, no one was sure that there would be no accidents. The commander-in-chief faced the two representatives of the troops. asked: "Political commissar Yu, one-third of the police force in Ohara City has been withdrawn." When we are in trouble, we will have to rely on your soldiers. ”

"You can rest assured, Deputy Mayor Gao, the two battalions of 52113 and 52932 stationed in the area, the local militia, and the public security police of Yangqu County have all been on the front line, plus the personnel temporarily organized by the county government, a total of more than 16,000 people, are organizing rescue from the border mountains and river flood areas, and we will try to minimize the losses. In the area around the flood discharge area, you have to rely on the cadres and police of Dayuan City, and it is still your public security to transfer the masses. The representative of the military district said.

Next is the temporary resettlement plan issued by the civil affairs department, the post-disaster reconstruction plan formulated by the Yangqu government, and the water conservancy and hydrological department constantly updating the hydrological data.

Decisions are going on, anxiety is spreading, and the pouring rain continues endlessly.........

……………………………………………

……………………………………………

At 2 o'clock in the morning, in the area of Zhoujiawan and Raketoothgou, a group of special police squadrons reported that the evacuation was completed.

At 3:15 a.m., the evacuation was completed in the Shihugou area.

At four o'clock in the morning, the evacuation of Hanzhai was completed.........

Longxing Village, which is closest to the dam but farthest from Dayuan, was also nearing its end by 5 a.m.

This is indeed a job that no one wants to do, and the government departments at the county and township levels began organizing it the day before. Less than half of the people who moved away. In desperation, the city government dispatched the Ohara police force to complete this huge project. Half of the more than 3,000 police officers are in charge of relocation and are scattered across more than a dozen administrative villages.

Qin Gaofeng, who led the team, led 100 police officers to travel more than 10 kilometers in a hurry, and arrived at the designated place at 2 o'clock in the morning. Those who travel, those who carry their families, those who carry children, those who lead mules, donkeys, cattle and sheep. Driving three-wheeled and four-wheeled agricultural vehicles, the road stretches from the entrance of the village to the highlands in a crowded manner. In the team, the lights are like beans, the voices are boiling, and occasionally you can hear the sorrow of the livestock, the cry of the child, the sound of the adult, the hundred and ten police officers here obviously appear to be insufficient police force, separated by a station of ten meters, the lights are connected into a long line straight to the high ground, guiding the masses to transfer, and the lights of the stars are like a long dragon. In the dark and dreary rain curtain, there was a mood that was more desolate than the rainy night.

Standing at the entrance of the village, like standing in Fenglin's hometown, it was like seeing the donkeys of the Zhang San family, the mules of the Li Si family, and the cattle and horses of the Jian Er family.

Standing next to the captain, the women's director of the village, and the people sent by the township to support, it was delayed for more than two hours, and it was not over until five o'clock in the morning. Hey, there's no way, now the people in the village who have the ability to go are gone, those who can move have moved early, and those who can't move have also gone out to work, leaving only this old and weak women and children, public security comrades, I know you are also embarrassed, but we really can't help it, these old men and old ladies, just such a dead brain, pigs, chickens, mules, cows, horses, and livestock in the yard are all lifeblood, and they really let them leave home in the middle of the night, this must be difficult............ Yesterday, I began to tell people that the township and county guarantee that everyone will live in the relocation area within a month. But no one believed it, and less than half of the relocation was ......... Comrade Public Security, don't worry, wait a little longer........."

"Can I not be in a hurry?" Qin Gaofeng's voice shouted in a rough voice in the dark: "In two hours, the flood will come, and it will really wash people away, are you responsible?"

"All the people present listen to my orders......" Qin Gaofeng shouted with his steps: "The comrades of the second and third teams are responsible for pacifying the masses on the high ground, and all the remaining team members are close to the entrance of the village, in groups of two, each group communicates with each other, and re-inspects from house to house along the east and west. ”

There is no sense of color in the voice, like an order to arrest a suspect, with the order, run to the entrance of the village from far and near, gather a team of members, two of them in a group, along the village, the lights faintly flash in the village, there is no sound in the surroundings, occasionally there are lights on in the house, the empty door is wide open, silent like a dead village.

There are scattered in the village, and there must be people who pull down. Ten minutes passed, Wang Ming showed up in a group, drunk and sleeping in the livestock shed on a rainy day, straight out of the village, the branch secretary saw the fire, slapped the face a few times and scolded, this old bachelor, I also said that the widow's house went to the door, and the dry grass donkey in the donkey pen was drilled for a long time...... This drunk didn't wake up at all, and after being slapped twice, he snorted happily, and he was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh......

After another ten minutes, Gao Aijun was in a group, and four people carried two old men who refused to leave, hugged their waists and raised their legs and arms, and forcibly carried them out of the village. When he was put down, the old man was still crying and wanted to go home, and kicked and beat the policeman who forcibly pulled him out of his home, which made people cry and laugh again.

After another ten minutes, Xiao Chenggang shouted support in the walkie-talkie, and recruited Jian Fan, who was not far away, in the door of an orphanage in the west of the village, Jian Fan ran in with Qiu Gang, and when he passed through the hall for the first time, the door was locked in the middle of the hall, who knew that there was an old man left behind in the hut. Under the dim fifteen-watt light bulb, there was an old lady sitting at the head of the pit in the house, carrying a pit sweeping broom and pimple to guard against it, as if the old society saw the bitter hatred and deep grain collection and debt protection, staring at the two Xiao Chenggang and Guo Yuan, Jian Fan was amused all of a sudden, and was about to ask about it, and he couldn't even deal with this matter, but Xiao Chenggang nervously pointed to the corner of the house, and looked at it again, so frightened that Jian Fan took a step back suddenly, in addition to people, there was also a colorful earth dog lying in the house, it is estimated that he saw that there were more people, and he stood up suddenly, and his throat hissed.

The old lady shouted inarticulately, crawl out, you wolves don't eat, crawl away...... My son and daughter-in-law are not here, and I want to arrest my daughter-in-law and do your ghost dreams, just my lonely old wife and son, and watch me bite you to death what you wolves don't eat...... The scolding is gritting his teeth, and the hatred is straight to the bone marrow, the so-called Huahua is eighty percent of the dog lying in the house.

Several police officers looked at each other, and Guo Yuan smiled in surprise: "This ...... How did we become daughter-in-law robbers? ”

"Brother Guo, you ...... You go to ......" Qiu Gang stepped back nervously, not scared, just scared of the earth dog.

"It's over, we're running into the class struggle. Jian Fan suddenly saved this reason and explained: "Looking at the photo in the house, eighty percent of us are regarded as family planning offices to arrest people for ligation." ”

A few people looked at the picture of a couple in the house, and each hugged one in their arms. The difficulty of family planning makes it difficult for people in the city to understand, Jian Fan explained: "The countryside is now strict, the punishment for giving birth to a second child is a child, and the sterilization of a third child is caught, and you have to be beaten if you are pregnant......... The two of them must have gone to hide in the field, leaving the old lady alone. ”

"Reason with her? The flood is coming. ”

"What? Do you think the police have a good image in the village? Who believes it?"

"What then?"

"Come on...... I tell you......"

Jian Fan saw that in the courtyard, the chicken nest and pigsty were complete, and the four people whispered a few words, and several people instantly scattered around as if they were catching suspects......

Soon after, in the sound of rain, there was a scream, not a person, it was a piglet, the voice was sharp and violent, like someone stuck her head or dragged her tail, the old lady on the pit sat up straight all of a sudden, and hurriedly put on her clothes, and scolded and said to herself, this god kills, the wolf doesn't eat, catch my pig......

A wave of unevenness, in the chicken coop, clucking eggs barked, like a weasel coming at night, and like a chicken thief to even the nest, this time the old lady was more anxious, wearing clothes, supporting the body, kicking the dog, the dog ran into the rain and looked at the people next to the pigsty and roared, a "Mom", the man ran away with the dog, and the dog behind shouted to catch up.

As soon as the old lady on crutches went out, she was startled by the young man who pointed to the courtyard gate with a look of urgency and shouted: "Grandma, don't be afraid, it's me, the eldest son of the village chief's family, you don't know me? ”

The old lady with dizzy eyes squinted at Jian Fan, stretched out her withered hand and stroked it, and was stunned, but asked in disbelief: "...... Isn't the village chief's family a big girl? When did he become a boy?".

", am I her girl's man, son-in-law has a child, isn't it the same as a kid?......... Yo, it's raining outside, grandma, put ...... on you" Jian Fan lied again, but the old man and the old lady were easy to deceive, and with concern, she carried a big poncho to cover the old man, and simply carried the old man on her back as soon as she put it on: "Grandma, don't talk about it, come on, I'll accompany you to chase him...... Why don't I carry you on my back, the thief is running so fast that you can't catch up with .........."

So, there was a strange scene in the dark village, the thief in front of him was unhurriedly using a flashlight to guide the way, and after a dozen steps, Jian Fan was panting and running with people on his back, and the old lady on her back was full of righteous indignation, driving a donkey to urge Jian Fan: "Chasing... Pursue... Catch up and send this thief to the village office......"

After hearing it for a while, Jian Fan was out of breath, and stroked Jian Fan's head in distress: "Baby...... You rest, don't be a pig baby can't catch it, make my baby tired. ”

"No... Affair... Grandma, don't worry, I'll chase this piglet...... I'll send you to the village office......" Jian Fan panted, his steps a little heavy. Anyway, my heart is warm, and my grandmother knows that the baby is more expensive than the pig's baby.

"Good baby...... The village chief, this little bitch, and found a good uncle......" The old man said gratefully, and was carried out of the village in a daze.

Guo Yuan, who followed behind, poked the chicken nest and stabbed the chicken feces in the front, his hand didn't know whether he was caught by the chicken or pecked by the chicken, he took a painful place, and was scolding Jian Fan for this bad idea, Xiao Chenggang limped back, Guo Yuan's flashlight flickered, but he saw that this thing grinned, worse than himself, and after asking, he said angrily, he was bitten by a dog, and the flashlight shook again, and there was blood on his calf, and he was worried and funny, and he helped Xiao Chenggang out of the village behind him......

Scattered and scattered, more than a dozen villagers who were unwilling to leave and did not believe that the flood was coming and hid were found. Until 6:20 a.m., the news of the completion of the evacuation of Longxing Village, which is closest to the dam and the most difficult to evacuate, came back to the headquarters, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.........

……………………………………

……………………………………

As the rain-soaked night drew towards dawn, a hundred police officers divided into four sections to guard the evacuating masses, and the procession of hundreds of people looked so spectacular, with cattle carts, three-wheeled and four-wheeled pulling valuable things from the house, covered with plastic sheeting, like a large army of refugees. The tall, bespectacled official of the township government explained the benefits of the relocation from household to household, but most of them ignored him. These are the last people to be evacuated and will be taken to temporary resettlement sites designated by the county government to become part of the post-disaster reconstruction and resettlement of residents.

At seven o'clock, the earth shook and the mountains shook, attracting everyone's attention to the northeast. Across the mountains, no one knows what's going on. But who knows, it won't be a good thing.

Not long after, boom rumbling like a dozen trains roaring and running, for a while I felt that the mountains around me were shaking, the ground under my feet was moving, and a turbid yellow water stream rushed from the recess of the mountain, roaring and surging, where I passed, carrying stones and sand, the soil layer along the wall was broken like powder, and the big trees that hugged the thick were lifted up by the roots, carried into the torrent, and the villages bathed in the rain were like building blocks, like sand castles, like clay sculptures, and were swallowed up by the surging torrent in the blink of an eye. Standing on the high road surface, looking at the water and listening to the thunderous sound, people feel dizzy and afraid.

The flood peak passed safely, the second reservoir of the Fen River and the four flood discharge canals were dammed at the same time, and the hydrological monitoring station stared intently at the water surface scale, from the picture of the headquarters, you can clearly see that the water of the Fen River flowing through Dayuan City spread straight to the bridge deck, and lasted ten minutes to retreat peacefully. In the city hall, the comprehensive conference hall was full of joy and thunder, and the jubilant crowd applauded in all directions, giving warm applause to the decision to discharge the flood, and they were all glad that the plains were safe and the city was unharmed.........

Fifty-seven kilometers away, in front of Longxing Village, which had been reduced to nothing, on the road surface of the highlands, there was a cry of a person, followed by the cry of a group of people, winding on the road, the team whimpered and walked slowly forward, crying, wiping tears, and looking at the home that no longer existed.........
