Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great Dam
The weather in the mountains in summer is unpredictable, with occasional rains and intermittent rains, heavy and light rains.
The mountain breeze blew, and Guo Zhuocheng felt a little cool. After walking a mountain road, Xiong Lezi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Guo, am I so suitable?" ”
Guo Zhuocheng smiled: "What's inappropriate? We don't follow them all the time. After we met my dad, the two of us went it alone, and my dad was still worried without you following me. Don't mother-in-law, okay? ”
Xiong Lezi calmed down a lot now, and said with a smile: "That's good." If I am asked to accompany your father, thinking that he is the secretary of the county party committee, I will panic, hehe. ”
Guo Zhuocheng smiled, did not speak, his eyes looked at the mountains in the drizzle, and admired the pure natural scenery that was rare in his previous life. A few bird calls made Guo Zhuocheng's thoughts fly far, far away......
After walking more than five miles, when he walked to the Liangxing Brigade, the people from the brigade headquarters told him that his father Guo Zhiyan and his party had gone up the mountain. Soon after Guo Zhiyan arrived here, he heard that both the upper and lower col brigades on the mountain had flooded farmland, and the peasants there were very anxious and were doing everything possible to prevent flooding and draining water.
After Guo Zhiyan, secretary of the county party committee, heard this, he immediately went to the scene to inspect the scene before he had time to take a breath.
After the cadres of the brigade enthusiastically stayed, Guo Zhuocheng and Xiong Lezi had lunch here. After that, the people here sent a sturdy young man to lead the way and take Guo Zhuocheng and them into the mountain.
Climbing up from a rugged mountain road, turning over a large mountain, a smooth concrete road suddenly appeared in front of you. Although this concrete road is very abrupt compared to the surrounding terrain and topography and the dilapidated thatched huts of farmers in the mountains, Guo Zhuocheng and others are used to seeing it.
He walked in front of the cement road and asked, "Xia Guorong, which military factory does this road lead to?" Is the front our county's territory? ”
The young man who led the way was named Xia Guorong, who returned home from the army last winter and is currently working in the brigade. He replied with a smile: "This cement road does not lead to the military factory, the front leads to the Pandian Reservoir, and the back end leads to Panzhi County. There are no military factories in our area, and it is said that the reason is that the mountain is not strong, and it is easy to cause landslides when digging into it. Only the mountains near the Pandian Reservoir are granite-headed, and the others are gravel mountains. It couldn't withstand the bombardment dropped by the plane. ”
In the end, he was born in the military, and he talked about military-related things in a few casual words.
"Pandian Reservoir?" Guo Zhuocheng's heart seemed to be touched by something, although it was not very strong, but it always made him feel uneasy.
"Yes, it's located between our Shuidian County and the opposite Panzhi County, so it's called that. In fact, the entire dam belongs to Panzhi County, and only some of the submerged areas belong to our county. Otherwise, most of this cement road would not have been built in Panzhi County. Xia Guorong is a cheerful young man, just now I saw that neither of them spoke, I was so angry that I couldn't do it, now that I have the opportunity to speak, I naturally say more.
Guo Zhuocheng sighed and asked casually, "Have you ever been to the dam?" ”
Xia Guorong said: "I've been there." Back then, I also participated in dam construction with my father, which was really magnificent. It's a pity that the electricity it generates is either sent to the military factory or to Panzhi County, and we just use a little water to irrigate the farmland. This reservoir doesn't contribute much to our county. ”
Guo Shucheng said with a smile: "Since part of the submerged area belongs to our county, you can still raise fish in it." ”
Xia Guorong also smiled and said, "No." All of them are managed by the reservoir management committee, and the fish are all raised by them, and we can't see them. ”
Along the way, it was mainly Xia Guorong who spoke, Guo Zhuocheng often interjected, and Xiong Lezi almost didn't say anything, only when Xia Guorong or Guo Zhuocheng asked him, he said a few words. Regarding Xia Guorong's question, every time he answered, he was angry, as if he had a grudge against Xia Guorong, which made Guo Zhuocheng a little strange, but he didn't ask.
After walking about a kilometer on the cement road, the cement road in front of me turned to the edge of the mountain. On the left side of the road is an unfathomable deep valley, and on the right is an almost vertical cliff.
Walking on the road, Guo Zhuocheng felt a little chill and couldn't help but look up at the mountain. Worried that a stone will roll down from above, and the people on the road will not be crushed?
Xia Guorong pointed to the mountain and said: "This mountain is called Wild Dog Slope, which is a checkpoint to enter the reservoir, whether it is our people in Shuidian County or their people in Panzhi County, they must pass through here if they want to enter the reservoir." In the past, troops were stationed here to prevent the enemy from blowing up the dam, and it was not withdrawn until the year before last. You guys, there's a checkpoint left in front of you, and there's a cement fortification next to it. ”
He pointed to an old concrete house in front of him and said, "When I was a child, I saw machine guns set up there several times. It's a terrain that's hard to get rid of. As long as one platoon is placed here, the enemy will not be able to attack even a regiment. ”
Xiong Lezi said: "You don't need to put a platoon, just call a few people to run to it and throw stones down." ”
Xia Guorong was not angry and said, "Isn't it." Every year, several people are killed and injured here, all of whom are hit by rocks rolling down from the mountains. In the past, troops were stationed here to prevent the enemy from damaging the dam and to prevent pedestrians from passing through the dam on rainy days. And when there are dead and wounded, they treat the wounded. At this point, he suddenly said, "Hurry up!" You have fallen stones on the road. ”
Sure enough, there were several cyan stones a few meters in front of them, and there was still a white mark on the cement surface. It was a stone that had been thrown down and had not yet been wet by the rain.
When it came to those gravel, Guo Zhuocheng felt a little nervous all over his body, and hurriedly ran with Xia Guorong. The three of them trotted all the way through the 500-meter danger zone. When they passed, they all looked back, and they were still apprehensive.
Xia Guorong gasped and said to the wild dog slope: "It's nothing on a sunny day, but it's dangerous on a rainy day." The main reason is that the stones on the mountain are too brittle, and a lot of them will roll down when the rain soaks. ”
After walking about six kilometers, Xia Guorong in front shouted loudly: "! Dam! ”
At the beginning, neither Guo Zhuocheng nor Xiong Lezi saw any dams, and in the direction he pointed, there was only a cloud of fog and vapor in front of them. But as a gust of mountain wind blows, a majestic dam is presented in front of them, making people gasp.
People can't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts: Human beings are really great, and such a big project has been built in this wild ravine!
Above the majestic dam is the boundless water, surrounded by turquoise waters and surrounded by mountains. Below the dam is the corresponding countryside where cooking smoke and trees, chickens and dogs bark, standing in their position, there is a beautiful Chinese painting painted by the master in front of them! ~!
