"Done!" Dad smoked a cigarette, reminisced for a while, and his face became a little solemn, "The rain that year was not as heavy as last night, but it was longer!" The day before, I began to hold back the clouds, layer upon layer, the lower and lower the base, until the most rear, a lump of black clouds, almost hanging overhead, I feel that I can reach out and catch it, and the whole day is like a night......"

Everyone listened to Daddy's words, and slowly fell into the memories that agreed with him, only Wu Chen tried to construct it in his mind, but he couldn't imagine what it was like at that time, he only felt eerie and cold.

"One day and one night, it came in the dark, at that time, there was no talk of the end of the world, but it also caused a lot of panic! By the afternoon of the same day, the rain gradually increased, and the raindrops that fell at first were the size of thumbs, and the tiled roof crackled, which you should all experience. ”

After the old man finished speaking, seeing that everyone nodded silently, he continued: "At that time, I was on duty at the Mashan Hydropower Station, and there were commune cadres who came over during the day, and at night they kept vigil together, and then a group of soldiers came!" At that time, everyone was still innocent, and these soldiers had received orders to fully cooperate with the commune to defend the reservoir! ”

"Didn't you say there were no GIs?" An old man couldn't help but interject, in fact, there were many versions of the situation back then, but the father of the person concerned has been tight-lipped all the time, everyone only knows the tragic situation, but what happened is not clear.

"!" Dad grunted, turned his head and spit out phlegm, and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, "That's the Revolutionary Committee won't let you say!" Back then, those big-headed soldiers were squatting outside my house, half of their bodies were drenched in the rain! I made tea in it, and I also beckoned their chief to come in and drink tea, it seems to be a company commander or something, anyway, a young man, he looks quite energetic! ”

"Hehe, why are you mentioning so many things that are not closed, just tell me how Mashan Lake collapsed, just do it." The fourth uncle was the deputy director of the village revolutionary committee back then, and he knew a little about this matter, but the most important thing was that even he didn't know what to do, he was an old revolutionary, and he didn't want to talk about the country's affairs.

"It rained for hours that day, and it didn't stop until night. At this time, Deputy Commander Xie of the County Revolutionary Committee also rushed to the reservoir and convened a meeting to convey the instructions from above, and it was necessary to strictly guard against it and protect the safety of the people's property! Dad shook his head as he spoke, and seemed to be very unimpressed by this, so he didn't care what the fourth uncle reminded, and went on to take care of himself.

"At that time, there was already a dangerous situation, the two gates kept draining, the stream behind was flooded, the main engine room of the hydropower station was halfway up, it was also flooded, the communication lines were interrupted, and the soldiers could only communicate with the outside by telegraph." Daddy was immersed in his memory, and his face became darker and darker.

"Later, I saw that the rain did not mean to stop, the water level was too high, it had exceeded the red line by several meters, and gradually overflowed the dam, in order not to make the dam collapse, as a last resort, Commander Xie ordered all the gates to open for flood discharge!" When Dad said this, he suddenly shuddered and was silent for a long time.

Everyone was immersed in an indescribable atmosphere, no one interjected, Wu Chen's eyes were staring at the fire that was extinguished, but there was a panic in his heart for no reason.

"When those soldiers received the order, they all rushed to the dam and were opening the floodgates, when they saw a whirlpool suddenly appear in the reservoir!"

Wu Chen was fascinated by what he heard, and subconsciously raised his hand to smoke a puff of cigarette, the cigarette butt almost burned his fingers, and quickly threw away the cigarette holder. Not only Wu Chen, but even those old men heard the details of the scene for the first time, and their expressions were deep.

"At first, no one cared, but there were always some little whirlpools like this. I didn't think that the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger, and the water around it swept up and beat the dam rapidly. At this time, everyone looked at each other, and some people wondered if there was a leak at the bottom of the reservoir! If the stratum collapses and a large hole is opened, and the reservoir water pours down, there is also a possibility of this. ”

"But this idea was immediately rejected, because the water level did not drop at all, but got higher and higher!" Dad said with a stunned face, although so many years have passed, when he mentions it, he still can't hide a trace of fear in the corners of his eyes.

Others haven't realized anything yet, but Wu Chen has studied physics anyway, and in this case, not to mention the depression in the middle of the whirlpool, it will inevitably make the water level at the edge rise! Even the centrifugal force brought by this rapidly rotating water flow is also huge!

"Soon, the water started hitting the dam! You haven't seen it! Daddy's hands trembled a little, but his face was a little trance, "The swirling water rushed up, wrapped around people and threw them out, and threw a lot of people away at once, you think about it, in that case, being thrown out of the water for several meters, and then falling into the water with a drop of nearly twenty meters, how can there be a life?!"

"If you haven't been thrown off, you won't be any better! There are a few GI babies, all of whom were slapped alive on the cement slab of the gate, and the flesh and blood were blurred! ”

"Damn, don't run yet!" Wu Chen was distracted when he heard this, and shouted casually, this kind of natural power is really beyond the power of human beings, and it is basically a few deaths!

"Run? At that time, everyone received death orders! Daddy smiled bitterly, now the child, there is still a knowledge of what is called a death order! But he didn't accuse Wu Chen, the times are different.

At that time, the chief was anxious, and in a blink of an eye, half of his men were gone, and the water circle was still spinning, and it was slapping straight up. He hugged a headlamp and shone it into the lake, and under this light, he saw that there was something in the whirlpool! After Dad finished speaking, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and he didn't know if it was because it was too cold, or if he remembered everything he had witnessed back then.

"Water monkeys?" Wu Chen immediately came up with this word in his mind, although he had never seen it, but among the monsters in this area that have been passed down since ancient times, there are water monkeys or something, but even the rumored water monkeys are slightly smaller than people, how can they create such a big wave?

Daddy shook his head, but his wide eyes were not bright, he looked at the front emptyly, and muttered: "I can't see clearly, there is only a black shadow, a big black strip, circling around the whirlpool..."

Everyone stopped talking, but there was a unanimous thought in their minds, what else could this thing be besides the dragon in the sky! Even if it's a local python, at most, it's sinking in the water and stealing a duck or goose, I've never heard of such a big movement!

It's just that this idea is hard for anyone to say, it's ridiculous! Don't look at them as superstitious people, but they only believe in the ethereal immortals, but they haven't even thought about this kind of substance.

Even Wu Chen had a faint trace of resistance in his heart, could this be regarded as excessive fright, resulting in memory bias?

After being silent for a while, Dad continued: "At that time, I was frightened, everyone thought that that thing was doing something, and after the little company commander woke up, he picked up the explosives and threw them in!" I threw several detonators in a row, but there was no reaction at all, as if I had thrown a few small stones. It didn't take long for the dam to break in several places, and soon it collapsed, and you all know the rest. ”
