Chapter 001: Dam Failure

Next Chapter

A bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky, and the intensity of the flash pierced the eyes. Then a series of thunderbolts exploded in the air, and the whole earth shook. The wind and the raindrops of beans raged wildly, and the turbid river rolled the monstrous waves, hitting the Huihe Dam wave after wave......

In the tents temporarily erected on the dam of the Huihe City Flood Fighting and Rescue Headquarters, teams of PLA soldiers, public security officers and temporarily organized villagers trotted all the way on the dam carrying sandbags, and the temporary telephone ringing in the headquarters rang one after another: No. 1 gabion was washed away! The gabion No. 2 was washed out! If the No. 3 gabion is washed away again, the flood will directly hit the dam!

What to do? The commander-in-chief of the flood fighting and rescue scene wiped the cold sweat on his head and urgently thought about countermeasures. As the name suggests, the gabion is to put the stone into the cage of the wire weaving, in the river bay in order to prevent the flood directly impact the dam set up the dam, the large river bay of the Hui River due to the curvature curve is almost 90 degrees angle, the impact of the river is strong, a series of three flood retaining gabion, if the third gabion is washed away again, then the Hui River dam is in danger!

The commander-in-chief of flood fighting and rescue resolutely picked up the phone: "Transfer all the armed police officers and soldiers of the garrison reserve to Dahewan, and you must keep the third gabion for me at all costs!" ”

A muffled thunder rumbled, as if hovering over people's heads, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble. On a hospital bed in a small tent next to the flood control and rescue headquarters, Qin Zihe opened his eyes with difficulty, looking blankly at the dim light in the tent and the infusion tube inserted in his arm, and he didn't know where he was for a while......

Enduring the headache in his head, Qin Zihe tried hard to recall everything that had happened. Gradually, he remembered it bit by bit. That's right! I boarded Air France flight AF447 to Paris in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil, and I was accompanied by two Brazilian supermodels, two twin sisters who had only managed to spend a lot of money to get them, and were going to Paris for a vacation together. Also, when several Chinese men sitting in the first-class cabin saw the two beauties beside them, they couldn't help but turn around and talk to themselves, and when the plane trembled violently, although the radio said that there was a strong air current, please don't panic, the passengers were also frightened, and then they didn't know anything with a loud "boom......

Have you been rescued? Where is this? Qin Zihe moved his body to see if his body was still intact, and as soon as he moved, he felt a burst of pain and weakness in his heart, he endured the pain and moved his hand, oh, fortunately, he could move, and he moved his feet again, and he could move, seeing that his body was intact, he put his mind at ease, and his eyes began to search around.

It was a simple tent, with a dim glow from an electric lamp on the roof, and he was lying on a camp bed with fluids. There is a small table not far away, a little nurse wearing a white hanger is lying on the table as if she is asleep, the white thighs are exposed under the white hanger, and the white skin under the light is even softer, although she is wearing a pair of ordinary transparent plastic sandals on her feet, she is like a crystal slipper and her white little feet are integrated, especially crystal clear, but her face cannot be seen from his angle......

Listening to the roaring rain outside, as well as the sound of running and shouting, Qin Zihe didn't know where he was for a while. Suddenly, he realized that the shouts outside were his most familiar mother tongue - Chinese! He couldn't help but be shocked! The plane he was on crashed over the Atlantic Ocean near Brazil, how did he return to China, thousands of miles away? What the hell is going on?

"Water ......" Qin Zihe was anxious to know what was going on, and opened his mouth to shout the word "water", wanting to wake up the little nurse to ask about the situation, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a chapped pain in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound at all, the word "water" was just subconsciously made.

Qin Zihe couldn't make a sound after several efforts, and struggled to sit up in a hurry, and suddenly tore down the infusion stand, and with a loud "bang", the medicine bottle suddenly exploded! This voice suddenly woke up the sleeping little nurse, she stood up violently and was a little stunned to see the scene in front of her, her small mouth opened wide, and her beautiful eyes widened! After a while, he reacted, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Township Chief Qin, you have woken up!" Then he stepped forward quickly and pulled out the needle on Qin Zihe's arm that had blood backflow, and his little hand tightly placed the cotton wool outside the needle's eye to stop the bleeding.

"Xia Mei!" Qin Zihe's eyes widened in surprise, and in a trance, he felt that the scene in front of him was very unrealistic, the Xia Mei in front of him was Xia Mei eighteen years ago, his first love eighteen years ago, and since he returned to the United States in disheartenment, he had never seen her again!

Slow! What, what? She called me Township Chief Qin? Qin Zihe's head "boomed", and it was dark in front of him! The title of Township Chief Qin was too far away for him, and it had almost disappeared from his memory. Could it be、Did you go back to the old way in the old days, as said in the web novel? He steadied himself, huh! It is very likely that the plane he was flying in crashed from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, and there is absolutely no chance of survival, and it is likely to be an incredible rebirth!

Looking at Xia Mei's beautiful face close at hand, Qin Zihe wanted to ask about the doubts in his heart, but he could only make a hoarse sound in his throat but couldn't speak. When Xia Mei saw it, she hurriedly asked him to press the cotton wool, so she took the dark green military kettle on the small table, unscrewed the spout and stepped forward to feed him water.

Qin Zihe didn't care about anything else, he drank it in a big gulp, feeling that his throat was much better and signaled to Xia Mei, Xia Mei took back the kettle and said with concern: "Township Chief Qin, drink some more, you are weak, it is good to replenish more water!" ”

Qin Zihe shook his head, cleared his throat, thought for a moment and asked, "Xia Mei, what's wrong with me, where is this?" ”

Qin Zihe's question, which he thought was very suitable for this scene, shocked Xia Mei's beautiful eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead with his hand to see if he had a fever. The voice said eagerly: "Township Chief Qin, are you okay?" You fought the flood on the Huihe Dam for three days and three nights in a row, and last night you were so tired that you fainted on the dam, don't you remember? ”

Xia Mei's words suddenly reminded Qin Zihe of many past events, and also made him determine what time it was. The flood that occurred in June 1991 was an eternal pain in his heart, and it was also because the flood completely destroyed his career, and after sitting on the cold bench for several years, he finally returned to the United States in discouragement, and became a prominent figure in the international financial market, but also turned him into a cynical playboy.

Things have to start from the year Qin Zihe graduated from Columbia University in the United States, originally he wanted to work in his aunt's financial investment company and help his aunt Chu Yao start a business together, but his aunt let him return to China to work on the grounds that his mother's last wish was to let him work for his hometown.

Qin Zihe's hometown is Huihe City, Songjiang Province, so he returned to Songjiang Province, at this time to catch up with the domestic diploma fever, he signed up for the Songjiang Province Talent Recruitment Fair, with his title of Master of Economics from Columbia University, with the fact that he is a returnee talent, immediately became a hot figure in the job fair, the major companies in the provincial capital have extended olive branches to him, but he dismissed, and finally chose to return to his hometown Huihe City to work.

Huihe City is only a county-level city, which is under the jurisdiction of Tongjiang City. At that time, it was Wang Guozhong, secretary of the Tongjiang Municipal Party Committee, who went to the provincial capital to recruit talents, and he was very happy to recruit Qin Zihe, so he asked about his intentions, and first gave the attitude of the various bureaus and offices in the city to be selected by him.

Qin Zihe's hometown is Dahewan Township, Huihe City, although he left his hometown and went to Yanjing with his aunt when he was eleven years old, and then went to the United States, but he still has a little impression of his hometown, since his mother hopes that he can play for his hometown, he did not hesitate to choose to return to his hometown to work first.

Although Wang Guozhong felt that a master's degree in economics working in the township was a bit of a bury for talents, he still fully respected his wishes, and in addition, he felt that it was not a good thing for young people to go to the grassroots level to train first. In this way, Qin Zihe came to Dahewan Township, and his position was the assistant to the township head. The year was September 1990, and Qin Zihe was 23 years old.

In March of the following year, Qin Zihe officially took office as the deputy head of Dahewan Township, in charge of economy, water conservancy and transportation. If things had gone according to normal circumstances, with his status and ability as a returnee and a master's degree in economics, and with the appreciation of Wang Guozhong, the secretary of the municipal party committee, he would soon have stood out as a rising political star, but the unforeseen circumstances led to the floods in June 1991 that destroyed everything for him.

In June 1991, the Huihe River suffered a once-in-a-century flood, Wang Guozhong, secretary of the municipal party committee, personally went to the scene of the most severely affected Dahewan Township to command the flood control and rescue, and Qin Zihe did not stay on the dam overnight, because of overwork and fainted on the dam that night, the big river bay of the Hui River was washed away by the flood, and there was a dam failure that shocked the whole province.

Wang Guozhong is the second generation of the leading figure of the royal family, the youngest son of the founding father Wang Lao, at the age of 39, he sat on the throne of the secretary of the Tongjiang Municipal Party Committee, and after four years of sharpening in the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee, he was about to further serve as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, but he did not expect to die at this time!

After Wang Lao got the news of his youngest son's death, he lost his son in old age and was grief-stricken, followed by Lei Ting's anger, he wanted not a martyr's son who was named a heroic title, but a son who could inherit his unfinished business! As a result, a large number of people from Tongjiang City to Huihe City were dealt with, and even the vice governor in charge of water conservancy resigned.

It was the turn of Dahewan Township, the person directly responsible, and none of the township leaders were spared, all of them were dismissed, and Qin Zihe, as the deputy head of the township in charge of water conservancy, was directly sent to the cold palace and transferred to the most remote backing township in Huihe City as a teacher in a rural primary school!
