The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and the city is about to be destroyed.

In a few months, the rice harvest will be abundant, which is the blood and sweat of the villagers for a year. If they were swallowed up by the flood, it would have killed them.

At the critical moment, the one who behaved the most calmly turned out to be Second Uncle Lu. For the first time, the man who walked against the wall and didn't dare to speak loudly straightened his chest.

He pointed at the villagers and shouted, "What are you doing stupidly, big guys? Hurry up, the young man will make the stakes, and the others will come with me to fill the sandbags...... Damn, don't bother. ”

"Yes. ”

Huo Qing gave way to duckweed and Bai Jingchu, stayed in the monitoring station and did not come out. He, Lu Xun, Lu Dali, and those young men, some chopping wood, some nailing stakes. Uncle Lu and others were beside them, filling sandbags and piling them up on the dam. Now, Huo Qing really wants to say thank you to the Zhou family. If it weren't for their sand quarry, the villagers would have been useless with so many urea bags. Because, you don't have anything to do.

Soon, wooden stakes were nailed to the dam. Bags of urea filled with sand and gravel were also carried. Blocked by wooden stakes, combined with the weight of the sand and gravel bags, the dam was finally raised little by little. At this moment, there were no class enemies, everyone was condensed into a rope, and they only thought about one thing, to protect the dam.

Qi Taishan and dozens of people from Drinking Horse Town also rushed over and joined the tense and orderly battle.

However, the roaring drinking water of the horse river is even more crazy. Under the raging winds, it constantly rushed against the dam. The water is tumbling so fast that it has exceeded the previous level of the dam. If it weren't for Huo Qing, Lu Xun, Lu Dali and others desperately nailing wooden piles and stacking sandbags to strengthen and raise the dam, the river would have swallowed the dam by now.

How long can such a dam last? No one dares to think about it, and no one has time to think about it.

Suddenly, several wooden piles finally could not withstand the rush of the dam and collapsed with a bang. At this moment, there was also a gap in the dam, and the raging water of the Yuma River immediately tumbled and rushed forward. Two villagers stood on the edge of the gap and let Huo Qing drag him over, otherwise, they would have to be washed away by the flood. In this case, no matter whether you are good at water or not, there is only one dead end.

What to do?

Including Huo Qing, Lu Xun, and Qi Taishan, everyone was dumbfounded.

If there is a gap, it will not be so easy to block it again. The flood water is all crowded in one place, and the water will flow faster and more violently.

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, a huge young man, driving a jeep, rushed over. Huo Qing, Lu Xun and the others immediately flashed to the side. Boom! The jeep rushed straight into the gap. The young man propped up his seat with one hand, rolled over and jumped out. This is equivalent to blocking a plug in the gap, and the water flow is slowing down a lot in an instant.

It was Anu, he, Zhang Kun and other armed police soldiers who finally arrived. Behind them, there were several cars, Secretary Chen Shicheng and his personal secretary Lan Tian, as well as Huo Qing's good brother Chen Jialuo. Everyone came, and I don't know how Ma Wencai, the reporter of "Tonghe Business Daily", knew, and he also rushed over.

However, Huo Qing didn't care about it so much, and shouted violently: "Quick, strengthen the sandbag!"

These people immediately piled bags of sandbags in the gap. One bag, two bags...... Finally, the gap was blocked. But they didn't care to breathe, and once again nailed stakes and carried sandbags.

"Here, pass me this punching bag. ”

"Secretary Chen?"

Huo Qing had just taken the sandbag handed over by a person, and went to get another ...... When he saw the middle-aged man standing in front of him with a tough figure and slightly gray temples, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Shicheng said: "Young man, I know you, Huo Qing, right? Thank you for that phone call, saving 30,000 villagers in Xiashui Village and Yinma Town." ”

"Compared to these villagers, I have only done a small thing. ”

"Haha, what a trivial sentence. Here, get the sandbag. ”

"Yes. ”

Huo Qing agreed, and immediately took the sandbags and piled them on the dam. Anu and the armed police soldiers, they pushed all the abandoned sand trucks to the dam. Each sand truck has a load capacity of five tons, so it is placed horizontally on the dam, and the body is filled with sand, which is a hundred times stronger than the sandbags.

They continued to nail wooden stakes and pile sandbags, and by dawn the rain had finally lightened. It's so tricky, there's nothing to be afraid of for the time being. The originally roaring and rushing water of the Drinking Horse River, after tossing for most of the night, may have been a little tired, and finally quieted down.

The sky is already slightly bright.

The villagers, as well as Chen Shicheng, Huo Qing, Zhang Kun, Anu, Qi Taishan and others, all sat paralyzed in the muddy water on the shore, gasping for breath. However, they all had happy smiles on their faces, and they fought almost all night, and their efforts were not in vain.

Chen Shicheng rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, stood up, and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you, I, Chen Shicheng, thank you, with your help, we finally protected the Yuma River Dam." As the secretary of the municipal party committee, I have the responsibility to not do a good job of flood control work beforehand, and I review. ”

"No, no. ”

These villagers hurried up, and if Secretary Chen hadn't brought people over, how could they have blocked the gap at a critical moment? It was the first time in so many years that they had seen the secretary of the municipal party committee come to the front line of flood fighting, and this spirit was really valuable. Besides, why does the water of the Yuma River overflow? Secretary Chen has only been in Tonghe City for less than a year, and in fact it is caused by the sand quarry.

Chen Shicheng made another speech, according to the forecast of the Meteorological Bureau, there will be continuous rain in recent days. However, there is no such rainstorm as last night, it is just a drizzle. In this case, as long as the protection and reinforcement of the Yuma River dam are done well, and then the waterway is dredged, there will be no problems.

The applause was thunderous, and the villagers kept shouting.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shicheng walked to Qi Taishan's side again and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you are the mayor of Qi Town, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's me, I'm Qi Taishan. Qi Taishan was a little flattered, and even stammered a little when he spoke.

"Okay, you were able to lead the people of Yinma Town and Xiashui Village to rescue the flood in time this time, and you did a good job. ”

"It should ...... This is what I should do. ”

"Did you think of going to work in the city?" Chen Shicheng said.

"I am willing to obey the organizational arrangement. ”

With this sentence, Qi Taishan's heart almost jumped out. This is not what others say, it is a big boss? That is to say, his going to work in the city is tantamount to an ironclad matter. It seems that he was right in this big bet. has been with Zhou Zhiyong for the past few years, and has done a lot of things to wipe his buttocks, but he is still in Drinking Horse Town. Every time, Zhou Zhiyong will say that he is thinking of a way, and he is thinking of a way...... I'm special, you look at Secretary Chen, he settled his affairs in one sentence.

In such a comparison, Qi Taishan was even more determined to follow Chen Shicheng.

From this, it can also be seen that Chen Shicheng's political skills are subdued, and in a few words, he subdued a person and worked hard for him. These people who are mixed in the officialdom are all old fritters, and they can clean you up without showing any traces. However, you are still in the dark, happily counting people's money.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shicheng greeted those villagers again, and walked to the side of Second Uncle Lu, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Fellow, you are very brave? I heard that you called the big guy to nail wooden stakes and fill sandbags?"

"Yes......" Second Uncle Lu, who was squatting on the ground and holding a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth, stammered when he spoke. In his life, he had never seen such a big official, and he forgot to shake hands.

"Okay, you're all good. ”

Chen Shicheng looked at Huo Qing again, and said sonorously: "I believe that as long as we work together, ......"

Marven was next to him, kept pressing the shutter of the flash, and filmed it. This wonderful picture can definitely become a series of reports. What he got was the scoop, and he might be able to climb up a little further in the newspaper.

Suddenly, Bai Jingchu stumbled over, his face pale, and he lost his voice: "Huo Qing, you ...... Did you see the duckweed?"

"No...... Aren't you at the monitoring station?"

"We weren't there, and we helped with the bags. She said she was going to the toilet and walked away...... At that time, the rain was heavy and the dam was dangerous, and I forgot about her. Just now, I looked around a few times, but I didn't see her. We...... Let's go and find out, shall we?"

"What?"

Huo Qing's heart chuckled!

Just now, these people were sitting in the muddy water, and Huo Qing also deliberately asked Qi Taishan, Zhang Kun, Second Uncle Lu and others to count the number of people. Of the people present, except for a few who twisted their feet, the others were fine. It can be said that this is a very perfect flood protection campaign. Perhaps, when they were counting people, they forgot about the road duckweed. After all, she is not from the village, nor from the town, nor is she from a group of armed police soldiers.

Bai Jingchu was also frightened, and said nervously: "You say...... She's not going to have an accident, is she?"

At that time, in the middle of the night, the storm was raging, and such a person suddenly got lost, and he didn't even dare to think about it. If one accidentally falls into a ditch or a drunken horse river, the chance of survival is almost zero.

Huo Qing's face was ugly, he looked at Qi Taishan, Zhang Kun, and Second Uncle Lu, and asked, "When you counted people just now, did you see Lu duckweed?"

"No ......

"I didn't see her either. ”

"Let's go, big guy, hurry up and find someone, the duckweed is gone. Huo Qing's voice woke up these people. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem, and they hurriedly got up, shouting and searching in all directions.
