The sound of the ground became louder and louder, and the light of the flashlight swept around, but the source of the sound could not be found. Suddenly, someone said, "Could it be that there is a water leak somewhere?"

A word wakes up the dreamer. The light of all the people was instantly concentrated on the wall, and soon, the light was concentrated in one place, and a stream of water was squeezing out of the gap in a mud bag, and the position was not high, because there was not much water in the valley now, but it was still increasing.

Behind the wall, the water kept banging against the wall, and the sound was like the sound of the tide in the Songtang River in Ningzhou.

A firefighter went up to inspect the place where the water was drained, and then came back and reported: "It's okay, don't worry about it." Liang Jian was relieved.

His eyes swept over the people around him, including the police officers who followed Liang Jian, the firefighters and government colleagues, and the ordinary people who came to help spontaneously, Liang Jian's heart that he had been carrying was finally relieved. After the mood was slightly relaxed, fatigue followed. Liang Jian shook his hand, which was a little numb by the blistering, and said, "Since the situation is stable now, then the lesbian should go back and rest first." As for the rest, hold on a little longer. ”

Everyone agreed, and after sending off the female comrades, Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing and Deng Dawei to arrange the people who were currently present in shifts and take turns to inspect the wall and some nearby conditions. As for the others, they all went to rest in their tents for the time being. Before, the part of the people who came to reinforce in the district brought two large military tents, which can be regarded as solving a problem.

Deng Dawei arranged for several government cadres such as Liang Jian, as well as those ordinary people, to rest in the first shift. Liang Jian was not polite to him, he was really tired after a day of worrying. When I entered the tent, there was nothing in it, but I took some snakeskin bags full of mud and piled them on the ground in two layers, so that I would not have to soak in the water all the time. On top of the snakeskin bag, there were some tools. Shen Lianqing didn't know where to find a few simple folding chairs, pulled them open, and asked Liang Jian to sit. There are a lot of ordinary people next to him, as well as a few older ones, who are estimated to be in their fifties. Liang Jian was embarrassed to sit and let Shen Lianqing take it to the elders. Unexpectedly, those people grinned and said, "Secretary Liang, you can sit down." You city people are not as good as us countrymen. We can hold on to this situation, but you don't have to!"

As soon as they said this, Liang Jian didn't shirk it, pulled a chair casually, sat on it, leaned on it, and fell asleep in less than two minutes.

However, it seems that when he closed his eyes, he was woken up. It was Shen Lianqing who called him. Liang Jian opened his sore eyes with difficulty, rubbed them, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lianqing said: "Stationmaster Li's phone. Director Deng said, let you pick it up. As soon as Liang Jian turned his head, Deng Dawei was standing on the side, his expression solemn. Liang Jian's heart froze, and he suddenly fell asleep. took the phone, immediately put it to his ear, and asked, "I'm Liang Jian, Stationmaster Li, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Stationmaster Li's voice was full of anxiety: "Secretary Liang, the gate here can't hold up, I have to open two more gates to discharge the flood." ”

When Liang Jianchu heard it, he felt that it was nothing, and was about to say yes, when his heart suddenly burst out, and he asked Stationmaster Li: "If there are four gates, what is the water flow?"

Stationmaster Li reported a number, Liang Jian calculated it in his heart, but this was not his strong point, he called Deng Dawei, walked to the corner, and told him: "Stationmaster Li said that two more gates should be opened to discharge the flood, do you think, can our wall hold up?" After speaking, he told him about the flow that Stationmaster Li told him.

Deng Dawei thought for a long time and said two words: "Danger!"

Liang Jian's heart suddenly pinched. Liang Jian thought about it for a while and asked Stationmaster Li: "How long can those two gates last?" Stationmaster Li replied: "Conservative estimate, about forty minutes." At present, there are several places inside the dam that have begun to seep water, and the amount of water is not large, but it means that the internal structure has begun to loosen, and if the pressure is not relieved quickly, it is likely that something will go wrong. ”

"Okay, I see, you give me thirty minutes. We'll be in touch again thirty minutes later. After Liang Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He looked at Deng Dawei and said, "We have to find a way to strengthen it." ”

Deng Dawei frowned and replied: "Our conditions are insufficient, and it is an asphalt road, even if we can drive wooden piles on both sides, there is no way to drive piles on this five-meter-wide asphalt road!"

Liang Jian's brows furrowed tightly, it is true that the asphalt road cannot be piled, but is it because we can't drive piles, so we just give up? The four gates are flooding at the same time, and the impact of this water flow, even if there is a buffer of half a valley, this wall may also be unable to stop it. Once it can't be stopped, all the water in this valley is washed out, and the damage is incalculable. And, once this place is lost, there is no place to defend it anymore. Even if the Qinglongtan Dam is preserved by then, this loss is ......

Liang Jian didn't think about it anymore, he told himself that he had to find a way. He walked out, not even wearing a raincoat, and walked straight into the rain. Shen Lianqing hurriedly followed, took a raincoat, and draped it over him. "Secretary, where are you going?" asked Shen Lianqing.

Liang Jian replied: "I'll go around and take a look, you don't have to come along." ”

"I'll stay with you, it's raining so hard and it's so dark, it's not safe. Shen Lianqing said. Liang Jian listened, so he let him follow.

The two walked down the asphalt road and walked to the side of the field, where the water was knee-high. After walking about a short distance, Shen Lianqing grabbed him and said, "Further on, there is the river." ”

Liang Jian's flashlight swept away, but he couldn't see anything except a piece of water. Liang Jian said: "Let's go to the side of the mountain. The two of them walked together to the side of the mountain, and when they were about to get closer, it was not easy to walk in this field, and they could always kick something. Suddenly, Liang Jian mentioned another thing, which was very hard and a big rock. Liang Jian bent down to hit the injured leg, and suddenly his mind lit up, and he couldn't help shouting: "I have a way!"

Shen Lianqing hurriedly asked, "What way?"

Liang Jian said: "Are there many such big stones around here?"

Shen Lianqing thought for a moment and said, "I've seen some, but now the water here is so deep, there's no way to find it!" This is also a problem. But at the moment, there is no other way. Their conditions are difficult, and they can only use local materials. He immediately returned to the road, called Deng Dawei, and told him what he thought. Deng Dawei hesitated for a moment and said, "You can try." But this wall is so high, it can't be held up to by a few stones!"

"If you can't hold a few pieces, you can only hold up to dozens of pieces! If you can't hold a few pieces, you can only hold up to a few hundred!" Liang Jian said. Deng Dawei sighed and said, "That's the only way." Let's get to work!"

Liang Jian nodded, and immediately called everyone up with Deng Dawei, and after briefly explaining the situation, everyone had no complaints, and immediately moved.

Just like Shen Lianqing said, the water around here is very deep, and it is not easy to find stones and move stones, but fortunately, there are quite a lot of people, and there are nearly seventy or eighty people together. Twenty minutes later, I really found a lot of big rocks and put them behind the mud wall one by one. At first, they wanted to build another wall. was stopped by Liang Jian, for twenty minutes, it was not easy to build a stone wall seven or eight meters wide and three meters high, it would take a lot of time to find stones and move stones. He told them to pile the stones like a pile of sand, starting from the middle, and first to put the main force on the surface.

When the stones were piled up to about two meters high, Shen Lianqing's phone rang and was handed to Liang Jian. Liang Jian picked it up, and Stationmaster Li's voice came: "Secretary Liang, I'm going to open the gates!"

Liang Jian took a deep breath and said, "Let's go." ”

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian immediately asked everyone to retreat to the mountains on both sides, in case it can't be stopped here, it is better to be in a high place.

Liang Jian and Deng Dawei, accompanied by two firefighters, climbed the three-meter-high wall, behind which the water was already about one meter deep.

The rumbling voice suddenly became louder. Liang Jian knew that the other two gates were also opened. Deng Dawei looked at Liang Jian and said, "Let's go up the mountain too." As long as you hold up the first few shocks, you'll be fine. ”

Liang Jian sighed. He said, "Leave it to fate! We did our best!"

After saying that, the four of them went down the mud wall, and then climbed and dragged them up the mountain, and joined the others in one place.

The sound of the water flowing over, like the sound of the tide coming over, was incomparably grand, and Liang Jian's heart rose to his throat as the voice approached.

Until there was a loud bang and exploded in his ears, his heart seemed to jump out, but he was finally pressed down, and I don't know who screamed: "Block! Block!"

Liang Jian's heart was suddenly relieved, but before this heart landed, there was a loud bang, and Liang Jian felt that the mountains under his feet were trembling. Is this the power of nature?

Before the thought could dissipate in his mind, someone shouted, "Oh no, there's a place collapsed!"

Liang Jian's heart suddenly rose again. Deng Dawei was standing next to him, and Liang Jian turned his head to look at him, he was just as nervous as he was.

Liang Jian couldn't help it, squeezed next to the person who shouted, and asked, "Where did it collapse?" The man's hand flicked, and the light of the flashlight fell to a place, a place on the opposite side of the mountain, and a gap collapsed, but the gap is not very big, and if you go down to block it now, it should be able to be blocked.

Liang Jian hesitated, whether to go down and block. The flood continued to lap against the mud wall, and there was not much time for Liang Jian to hesitate.

Liang Jian's heart was ruthless, his teeth were gritted, and he thought, let it go. He turned his head and shouted to the crowd: "There is a place that has collapsed now, and the gap is not big, but if you ignore it, it is likely to get bigger and bigger, and finally it will not be able to stop." Who's willing to go down with me and plug this gap?"

The first to stand up were the firefighters, and then a few police officers. Suddenly, I don't know which common man shouted: "Damn, what are you cowardly! The secretary of the family dares to go down, you old men, are you not as good as a scholar!"

Although this sentence is a bit of a belittling meaning for Liang Jian, it sounds very kind at the moment. For a while, those ordinary people shouted.

Liang Jian smiled, it seems that at the critical moment, they are all reliable. He took the lead and was the first to go down. As soon as he walked below, Deng Dawei looked at the side, leaned into Liang Jian's ear, and said: "Hong Wei didn't come down, and the comrades who came from the two city governments didn't come down either." ”

Liang Jian didn't speak. Fear is something that everyone has, but some choose to overcome and some choose to escape. It's just that from a human point of view, Liang Jian doesn't want to blame Hong Wei and those two comrades, they cherish their own lives, and there is nothing wrong with them.
