Chapter Eighty-Three: There is no way back in front of you
Fang honestly suffered pain, his mouth was deflated, his face showed embarrassment, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xue Xiang waving his hand: "Apologize nonsense, don't say it, hurry up and say the law, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to waste it with you." ”
Fang Laoshi accepted the thought of apology, and said hurriedly: "County Magistrate Xue is not my surname Fang, if it weren't for the helplessness, how could I treat you, the great benefactor of life, like this."
Here's the thing, before the big earthquake, our old irrigation mouth is a branch of the Songhua River, the water potential is huge, not only the water bags in our Huayuan area, but also the entire eastern half of Liaodong Province, all rely on the water supply here, so when we built this embankment that connected us in Xiaoshan County, not only set up a water viewing station nearby, but also set up a warehouse, and even the materials used for the berm were prepared in the warehouse, but this embankment was repaired extremely firmly, and there was no danger for more than ten years, so the materials in the warehouse were never used. But since that earthquake, the status of this old irrigation mouth is no longer as important as before, and without the irrigation of the Songhua River, the chance of flooding has dropped significantly, so not only the water station to observe the water level has been withdrawn, but the warehouse has also been sealed and never used again. The reason why I didn't say that I couldn't save it before, and I have to say it now, is because I'm afraid that you, County Magistrate Xue, can't make up your mind! ”
Xue Xiang never expected that there would be such a secret in it! However, when Fang honestly said that he was afraid that he would not make up his mind, he was still annoyed and scolded: "Fart, I don't make up my mind, I can follow all the way here to mix, besides, I can't make up my mind, what does it have to do with this repair berm, haven't I been beckoning my comrades to be busy?" ”
"The old party is afraid that you will not dare to use the materials in the warehouse, and I am afraid that you will not dare to take responsibility. Therefore, I have to wait until I have dug up these tens of thousands of bags of earthwork, so that you are reluctant to give up, and then I want you to make up your mind to open the warehouse. ”
I don't know when, Feng Kaishan actually walked behind the two of them, and these words came out. Obviously, Fang Cai's honest words of Xue Xiang and Fang were listened to by him.
Xue Xiang woke up like a dream, while marveling at the cunning of the peasants. He said hurriedly: "Could it be that there are still any treasures in this warehouse?" Isn't it just for the materials stored in the berm, which is just for the berm at this time, what are you doing in such a big circle? Tell me directly, let's open a warehouse, just follow the blind time here. ”
Feng Kaishan said: "County Magistrate Xue, at that time, this warehouse was built in the name of the provincial military sub-district, which belonged to the military management materials, and the local government had no right to deploy them, unless the application report was made, but where is it still too late now, I think the reason why the old party is beating around the bush is ......"
Feng Kaishan's words are not finished. When the intention arrived, Xue Xiang waved his hand and shouted: "Smash the warehouse open, something happened, I'm going to do it!" You're not honest anymore. I'm very scared again, fight, Lao Feng, you go to the township to gather young people, Lao Fang, you quickly lead people to smash the warehouse. I'll direct the filling here first, don't worry, hold on for a while, the team should also arrive! ”
Xue Xiang said a word, Feng Kaishan and Fang Honest responded with a bang, and each took the order.
The night wind is getting colder, the night is deep, at this moment, on the berm, hundreds of men use the strength to feed, pushing the rolling earthwork bags towards the opening position, and under the berm, only more than 100 people are left to continue to transport woven bags full of earthwork to the berm, and this group of people have a common mark, that is, the long rope with thumb thickness on the waist is connected to the thick rope on the embankment.
After all, everyone on the embankment, or support or tie, has that suspended cable can be borrowed, even if the embankment is broken, the ability to escape is greatly increased, and under the berm, the terrain is already low, if the downward rush is successful, if there is no protection under the embankment, it is almost certain to die, therefore, Xue Xiang took precautions, so that hundreds of people under the embankment also knotted with long ropes and tied them around their waists.
On and off the embankment, although hundreds of people were busy, they were in good order, because they were afraid that too many people would crush the berm that had not yet been blocked, Fang honestly proposed, Xue Xiang agreed, and only then did he leave a total of more than 500, the most strong man left. The original local side has already dug it, although it may not be enough, but with the sandbags that Fang Laoshi transported from the warehouse, two big pits, overnight, a total of tens of thousands of bags were filled, although the churning lake water washed away a lot, but under the huge number, not only the two deep pits were filled, but the embankment on the four sides of the deep pit was also widened and thickened by these tens of thousands of bags of earthwork.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the embankment in the morning, I don't know who was the first to cheer, and then the young and strong people who were lying on the ground on the embankment either jumped up or rolled on the spot, expressing the joy in their hearts, because yesterday's night's hard work was not in vain, and this great achievement was mixed with some aftermath of life, and the natural joy came from it, and it could not be cut off.
The golden sun shone on Xue Xiang's face, he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, although his heart was extremely tired, at this moment, he was relaxed for no reason, relaxed to the point that he seemed to be able to fall asleep, as for why the county government army he expected didn't arrive quickly, he didn't have the heart to think about it at this time. Because at this moment, he is sleepy, and the two eyelids seem to be installed with a magnet of the opposite sex, and they are unconsciously attracted to each other.
Xue Xiangzhen wanted to fall asleep on this embankment, he had never been so sleepy as at this moment, it was like a taut spring, after it suddenly relaxed, what was left was softness.
Who knew that just when Xue Xiang was about to sink to the ground, the embankment under his feet shook suddenly, and in an instant, there was a loud bang, and twenty meters to the east, a hole suddenly opened, and a thick column of water, like a white dragon, rushed down from that opening.
"The levee has burst!"
"Oh my god! The embankment has burst, everyone is fleeing for their lives! ”
"Woooooo......oo Stick to it all night, fight all night, work hard, and finally break the embankment that is willing to take risks, Xue Xiang was dizzy in his head, almost unable to support it, and fell directly to the ground, fortunately, the screams of this group of people made him immediately recover his clarity, but seeing him yell, he stopped the collapse of the situation, and then shouted: "If you want to escape, let Lao Tzu escape, run in order, whoever messes with Lao Tzu throws him into the water, and those who don't want to escape, they all move bags with Lao Tzu and block the embankment, Lao Tzu will die here today......"
At this moment, Xue Xiang was really physically and mentally exhausted, disappointed and desperate, but this body was in a desperate situation, and there was no way to retreat, which suddenly aroused the closeness in his bones. After shouting, Xue Xiang didn't say a word, tore off the rope on his waist, grabbed the two sacks and rushed towards the break. Xue Xiang stunned everyone with such a crazy move, and suddenly, Fang Laoshi lost the cable, silently picked up a sandbag, and ran after Xue Xiang, and then, Feng Kaishan stomped his feet and shouted: "It's a party member, it's all Lao Tzu!" As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up a sack and ran forward.
At the time of crisis, Xue Xiang, Fang Laoshi, and Feng Kaishan used practical actions to stop the collapse of the situation, and I don't know who shouted: "Men of Qiaokou Village, do you still have a handle, the county magistrate Xue saved our lives, not to mention, and now he is desperate to protect our farmland, if we escape first, are we still people, and the livestock can't do this......"
Hearing this shout, none of the more than 300 young men left behind in Qiaokou Village ran away again, turned around and chased forward against the sack. The hundreds of people in Qiaokou Village stopped running, and the people who voted with their feet to flee stopped castration in an instant, and many people stood in place, but they didn't know where to go, and suddenly, I don't know who scolded loudly: "The dead ball is facing up, not dying for thousands of years, the county magistrate is dead, we are more expensive than the county magistrate?" ”
At this time, the golden sun was rippling, and the autumn wind was bleak, and there was a sense of desolation and sadness. Suddenly, the last few hundred people also ran towards the hundreds of sacks on the berm, but there was no more noise......
However, it was said that Xue Xiang was carrying two sacks, and first rushed to the gap, and when he got closer, he found that the cross-sectional area was not large, only a one-meter-long opening, but the surging water potential was like an ocean, if it was not blocked immediately, and then rushed away, I am afraid that there will be no power to return to the sky. Xue Xiang rushed to the front, and without hesitation, he grabbed the two sacks in his hand, and threw them towards the fracture, the sacks fell into the water, and when he brushed it, he was rushed away by the white dragon that was like a match, and there was not even a splash.
In an instant, Xue Xiang Huo Ran changed color, and without waiting for him to say anything to stop him, Fang Laoshi, Feng Kaishan, and more than a dozen young men who were running at the forefront actually threw sandbags towards the cross-section. It is said that more than ten sacks fell together, which could block the opening that was not too wide. But clinker, these many sacks still did not stop at the fracture, and they were washed into the sand fields downstream.
At this time, Xue Xiang was completely stunned, such a water potential, unless it is a locomotive, thousands of catties are under the same breath, or it may be stabilized, but at the moment there is not even a small cart, how to talk about locomotives, what to do, what to do, is it really powerless to return to the sky?
Xue Xiang was stunned, and countless sacks were thrown, but they were all a fate that was washed away, and suddenly, Xue Xiang vaguely felt that the berm under his feet began to shake again. Suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he made a decision. But seeing that he didn't say a word, he removed the thick ear arm cable on the berm, struggled with both arms, used all his strength, and shouted loudly, and actually tore the cable alive.
Xue Xiang pulled out a piece of more than ten meters long cable, wrapped a fist around his waist, tied a live buckle, and then, took more than a dozen bags of sandbags from the hands of the young man who followed closely, and stacked thick sandbags on the left and right waists, and then used the cable to tie the two sandbags tightly, poured his legs, and shouted "up", he actually dragged the sandbags weighing more than 1,000 catties, and moved step by step towards the gap.
Now, even a fool knows what Xue Xiang is going to do.
That's right, Xue Xiang is trying to block his eyes with his body, only in this way can he block the gap and win precious time for the bag. If you want to say that he Xue may not have much noble sentiment and great moral character, if you count it carefully, there are many small problems, but there is only one thing, but Xue Xiang has always maintained it, Q
