173 Best Alternatives

The heavy rain is still falling, and God seems to be crazy, constantly pouring water on the world, with an attitude of not stopping until it is completely drowned. Many residents who are still in good condition sit under the canopy and sigh again and again: "It's the first time I've seen such a heavy rain in winter!"

"Yes, it's rare to see such a heavy rain when it's hot!"

Taihe is located in the northwest, and in recent years, the environmental damage has been serious, the land has been desertified, and the rain has been decreasing year by year. So, this time, although it is not a once-in-a-century event, it has not rained so much for several years.

Liang Jian glanced at the nearly 100 residents hiding under the canopy, some of whom were wet. It's not a problem that all these people are stranded here. Now it's not like summer, it's cold, and when it gets dark, it's even colder. If these people can't be properly arranged as soon as possible, they will come back and freeze again!

Thinking about it, Liang Jian called Shen Lianqing and asked him, "Is there any place nearby where these people can be placed?"

Shen Lianqing frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "There is a junior high school about a kilometer in the past. Why don't I get in touch with the people in junior high school and see if I can get them there first. ”

"There are nearly 100 people here, looking at the weather, tonight, these people will definitely not be able to come back here, is there such a large space over there to accommodate these people?" Liang Jian asked.

"It should be fine. Shen Lianqing said: "There is an indoor basketball court over there, and it may be a little colder at night." I'll arrange for someone to send more quilts later, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

After hearing this, Liang Jian felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and said, "Then you hurry up and arrange it." ”

"Good. Shen Lianqing said and prepared to walk away to make a phone call. Liang Jian suddenly saw those soaking wet clothes curled up and stomping their feet to keep warm, his mind moved, he turned his head and called Shen Lianqing, who was about to walk away, and said, "Where are all the staff of the neighborhood committee here? Let them send some hot ginger tea first, warm their bodies, don't turn around and get sick!"

Shen Lianqing hurriedly went to find the people from the neighborhood committee first. Liang Jian walked over to comfort a few of the frightened residents, and before he could say a word, he was surrounded by people. A group of embarrassed people rushed to cry and complain in Liang Jian's ear. Liang Jian was a little upset and irritable when he heard this, but in the face of these frightened people, it was obvious that irritability could not solve the problem, so he could only endure it and persuade him with good words.

Fortunately, Guang Yuyuan brought someone over in time and rescued Liang Jian from the crowd. The two walked to a place where there were few people, and Liang Jian asked him, "Have all the residents inside been evacuated now?"

Guang Yuyuan shook his head: "There are still some people, no matter how much they persuade them, they refuse to leave! What do you think of these people? Could it be that those things outside the body are really more important than lives?"

Liang Jian frowned, pursed his lips, was silent for a while, and asked, "How many people have not withdrawn?"

Guang Yuyuan replied: "According to the population data of the neighborhood committee, there are about thirty or forty people. However, this area has always had a large floating population, and the specific number must go up. ”

"What about the Mingde people?" Liang Jian looked around and didn't see Mingde, so he asked him. Guang Yuyuan replied: "He is inside, and he is directing the evacuation of residents. ”

I glanced at the old house not far away. Under the rain curtain, they were like old men in the twilight, hunched over, trembling, and ready to collapse at any time. In the narrow, low-lying alleys, there is already a deep amount of water. This old house was built a long time ago, and although the drainage system inside was later modified, it was still not ideal. When it rains, the drainage system is completely paralyzed. Plus, there's another river behind it. When it rains heavily, the river rises, and the river backs up. The smell is not only along the river, but most of the old houses have been invaded by this smell, and no matter how heavy the rain is, it can't wash away the smoky smell.

Liang Jian stood in the park, and as long as the wind blew, he could smell this suffocating stench.

Liang Jian looked at the residents on the other side who were shivering under the canopy, thought for a while, and asked Guang Yuyuan: "What does the Meteorological Bureau say?"

"It is estimated that it will rain for two days. Guang Yuyuan's voice was heavy.

Liang Jian frowned, raised his eyes to see the dense rain curtain, if it was all such a rainfall, not only would the east of the city sink in two days, one day, not only the east of the city would sink, but I am afraid that the city of Taihe would have to sink. Liang Jian thought about it and asked Guang Yuyuan: "What about the director of the Meteorological Bureau?"

"I don't know, it was still here. Guang Yuyuan replied after looking at it here and seeing no one.

"Call him, I have something to ask him. Liang Jian said.

Guang Yuyuan immediately found out the phone number of the director of the Meteorological Bureau and dialed it. After the phone rang for a while, he first said, 'Secretary Liang has something to ask you' before handing the phone to Liang Jian.

Liang Jian took it and asked, "When will the rain stop?"

The director of the Meteorological Bureau is in his bureau at the moment, holding a cup of hot tea. When the phone rang, a young woman was holding a hair dryer and drying his hair. Seeing that it was Guang Yuyuan's phone, he first asked the young woman to put away the hair dryer and go out to close the door before picking up the phone. After Guang Yuyuan finished speaking, he heard Liang Jian ask.

He pursed his mouth and replied, "How can I say this God's business." ”

When Liang Jian heard this, his heart suddenly caught fire, and he asked, "Since you can't tell you accurately, what do you want you to do with this meteorological bureau?"

The director of the Meteorological Bureau on the other end of the phone didn't care about Liang Jian's anger, he was still lazy, and replied: "The Meteorological Bureau can only predict a rough idea, if you want me to tell a specific time, how can I say it accurately." ”

Liang Jian was very angry. But at this time, the situation was relatively grim, and Liang Jian didn't want to fight a war with this person, so he threw his mobile phone to Guang Yuyuan and said to him: "Let him prepare a copy of the rainfall and other data for the next hour." If you can't take it, let him sit with someone who has the ability!"

Guang Yuyuan glanced at Liang Jian and walked to the side to communicate with the director who was not an ordinary arrogant director.

After a while, Guang Yuyuan came back and said to Liang Jian: "It will take about forty minutes for the Meteorological Bureau to send the data over. Shall we wait here, or shall you go back first?"

Liang Jian looked at him and asked, "Where are you going back?"

Guang Yuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Liang Jian looked at the rain curtain, thought for a while, and said, "You arrange a few people to maintain order here." Xiao Shen has already gone to arrange a place, and when the place is set, he will let the car pick up all these people. You and I will go inside to find Mingde first, and in any case, we have to find a way to evacuate the people inside before it gets dark. If this rain does take two days, these people are too dangerous to be inside. We can't risk it!"

After hearing this, Guang Yuyuan said, "Okay." Then you wait a minute, I'll arrange it first. As soon as Guang Yuyuan walked away, Shen Lianqing came over.

"Secretary, the junior high school has been contacted, and they said there is no problem. The material problem has also been resolved. Is that going to send these people over now?" asked Shen Lianqing.

Liang Jian nodded: "You work hard, you must send these people over safely." I'll go inside with Comrade Yuyuan later. If there's a problem, you give me a call. ”

When Shen Lianqing heard that Liang Jian was going inside, he was a little anxious, and said: "It's all flooded now, I heard a few residents just now saying that the sewer lids in several places inside have been opened, and it's not safe for you to go in now." ”

Liang Jian waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more. Shen Lianqing was not at ease, so he had to ask Xiao Wu to pay more attention to Liang Jian's safety.

After Guang Yuyuan was arranged, Liang Jian and his entourage set off with a total of seven people, in addition to him and Guang Yuyuan, there were Xiao Wu, a young man Chen Kai from the general office, a young man from the neighborhood committee Xiao Zhou, and a doctor and a nurse.

The young men of the neighborhood committee are familiar with this area, and with him, they will not wander around like flies and find no place. The water in the alley had accumulated above his ankles, and Liang Jian wanted to drag his shoes, but the shoes had entered the water and were not easy to walk. Unexpectedly, the young man from the neighborhood committee reminded Liang Jian that there are more sharp objects such as glass slags on the road in this alley, and it is safer to wear shoes. Liang Jian had no choice but to drag the pair of shoes weighing several pounds and wade through the water.

Matilda they are in the middle of this old house. Matilda was trying to persuade the family of five to get out of there. There are three generations in the family, and the head of the household is a man named Wang Qide. Wang Qide works outside the home and is usually not at home. My sons and daughters are seventeen and eighteen, and they are all at school today and have not come back. There was only one woman left in the house, and one old woman. The old woman had leg problems and was on crutches. Matilda had been at their house for nearly twenty minutes. The house has four rooms, and two floors were added to it in the early years. But at that time, when it was covered, it was simply added to the top, and the bottom was not reinforced. The old house was a mud-concrete structure, which was different from the cement steel at the back. This stamping itself has hidden dangers. Now, after this rain, the safety hazard on the floor below this building is even greater. When they arrived, they had noticed that there were already multiple cracks in the house, and problems could arise at any time. Therefore, I have been persisting in persuading this family. The woman also noticed the problem of her own house, and she had heard that someone's house had collapsed before, but she did not object to evacuation. The problem was with the old woman. The old woman should have a little mental problem, saying that she would not leave here at all, saying that she was worried that her wife would not find anyone when she came back, and that she was worried that if she left, the house would be snatched away by others, so no matter how much they persuaded Mingde, they refused to leave.

When Liang Jian and the others arrived, Mingde was discussing with the women to see if they could force the old woman to evacuate. The woman was a little hesitant, worried that something would happen to the old woman.
