Chapter 39: Never Give Up
"Xinkang County People's Radio, Xinkang County People's Radio, now broadcast the weather forecast, it is expected that from today to tomorrow, the weather in the county will continue to rain, the rainfall is moderate, and there are heavy rains and heavy rains in some areas. Tomorrow, the highest temperature during the day ......" Lin Jinhong turned off the radio depressedly, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, there was still half a bowl of instant noodles in the bowl, but he had no appetite. He got up, grabbed an umbrella, and went out of the room, where it was getting dark.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, why don't you rest for a while, you haven't had a good rest for two days. You go and rest first, I have something to call you. The villagers of Shankou Village, who were guarding the door, saw Lin Jinhong coming out and hurriedly dissuaded him.
Lin Jinhong smiled, "It's okay, I can't sleep in bed anyway, go to the embankment first, and it's not too late to rest when I come back." By the way, Li Da is on the embankment, right? ”
"The village party secretary has been guarding the embankment."
"Okay, you go back and rest first, I'm afraid you'll have to take a shift later." After Lin Jinhong finished speaking, he opened the umbrella, took the flashlight from the villagers, and walked to the embankment at the entrance of the village.
On the embankment at the entrance of the village, the water level has already exceeded the warning line by 30 centimeters, and there was a leak in this section of the embankment in Shankou Village yesterday, although it has been blocked by the villagers in time, but the situation in front of them has become more and more tense, and some old and weak villagers have moved to higher ground in the evening.
Even with an umbrella, Lin Jinhong was almost wet when he rushed to the embankment. The villagers on the embankment did not seem to be much flustered, and occasionally there were a few jokes, Lin Jinhong saw a boulder in his heart fall to the ground, as long as people's hearts were not chaotic, it was easy to say, which also reflected from the side that Li Da and others had done a good job in ideological work.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, why are you here again, there are all of us here, you can rest assured."
"Yes, look, your eyes are red like rabbit eyes."
After several villagers saw Lin Jinhong, they came forward and said one by one.
Lin Jinhong said with a smile, "Don't look at me like a weak scholar, in fact, I am a practitioner." You can all stand it, and I won't have to worry about it. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and shook it vigorously.
"Ahh Everyone shouted, "How many hands does Deputy Mayor Lin show to everyone?" They obviously didn't believe Lin Jinhong's words very much, and no matter how they looked at him, he didn't look like a powerful martial artist.
"Don't believe it, if you have the opportunity, you will show your hand to everyone, now I will go to your village party secretary to ask about the situation."
"The village party secretary is on the embankment on the east side, and he is discussing things with the person in charge of the paper mill." One of the villagers was busy.
Lin Jinhong thanked him and walked to the east. I hadn't walked a few steps when I saw a group of people in front of me. Lin Jinhong pushed everyone away, Li Dahe and the village chief were there, and the other was the person in charge of the paper mill. "What are you doing?"
"Deputy Mayor Lin, you came just in time, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the water level is constantly rising. Experts predict that if the rain does not stop in the next two days, the levee will definitely not be protected. As it stands, it is impossible to stop the rain in the next two days, and now there is still a chance, so why not give up the embankment and keep the paper mill. As long as the paper mill and the reeds at the end of the village are saved, Yamaguchi Village can be rebuilt quickly. The person in charge of the paper mill pulled Lin Jinhong and said loudly.
Lin Jinhong frowned and said excitedly: "But I also asked the relevant experts in the county, even if the water level exceeds the embankment, it may not necessarily burst." Do you know what it means once you abandon the levee? That means that half of the villagers in Yamaguchi Village have lost their homes, and it means that the whole village of Yamaguchi Village has no harvest this year, do you know? As long as there is hope, we will never give up on the embankment! The last few words, he shouted with his heart, and his hoarse roar shocked everyone at the scene. As long as there is hope, we will never give up on the embankment! The phrase hovered over the embankment.
The person in charge of the paper mill turned pale, threw down his umbrella, and left the embankment in the rain.
Lin Jinhong was in a heavy mood, and inspected the embankment again with everyone, and saw the enthusiastic villagers, and his mood improved slightly.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, your phone!" Wang Xi, who was sitting in the office of the village committee, hurried over.
"Who called?"
"Secretary Ma!"
Lin Jinhong took the phone and stepped aside, "Hey, Secretary Ma, I'm Lin Jinhong!" ”
"Jinhong, about the temporary causeway, the paper mill just reacted to me, if you really can't keep the embankment, don't force it, you can think about it again."
Lin Jinhong was stunned for a moment and then nodded and said, "Secretary Ma, I'll think about it." I think the current focus is on keeping the levees! ”
"Oh, now that you've decided, do what you decide! I heard that you haven't had a good rest for two days, your body is the capital of the revolution, work is important, and your body is equally important, take some time to rest! ”
"Yes! Okay, does Secretary Ma have any other instructions? ”
"It's gone!" After Ma Wei finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Lin Jinhong sighed and handed the mobile phone to Wang Xi, he himself has been running around on the embankment and often gets wet, so it is not convenient to carry the mobile phone with him.
Suddenly, a villager hurriedly ran to Lin Jinhong's side, "Deputy Mayor Lin, the leakage of the embankment in front is even bigger than yesterday's!" ”
Lin Jinhong was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
When we arrived at the scene of the accident, a group of people had already gathered around us, and several major village cadres had already arrived. Lin Jinhong pulled Li Da and asked urgently: "What's the situation now?" ”
Li Da wiped the rain from his face, "The situation is not very clear, and it should belong to the second situation." ”
"Organize people to go down to find the leak immediately!"
"Personnel are already being assigned."
Lin Jinhong was anxious and paced back and forth.
"Do you want to report the situation to Secretary Ma and Mayor Xiao?" Wang Xi reminded beside him.
Lin Jinhong shook his head, "Let's take a look at the situation first, and then report it after the emergency plan is activated!" ”
After the first batch of people who went into the water to investigate tied their bodies around their waists with ropes, the six of them went into the water together, and Lin Jinhong watched the situation on the water surface nervously.
After about two minutes, the first group of villagers climbed up the embankment without finding a leak, and the second group jumped into the water. Suddenly, someone floated up from the water and shouted, "Oh no, the second dog is gone!" ”
"Gone?" Lin Jinhong was stunned, "Come and follow me with a few water-based ones, and Li Da will hand it over to you here!" After he finished speaking, he plunged into the water, and three villagers with good water skills also jumped into the water to save people.
Lin Jinhong, who jumped into the water, was full of excitement, the spring cold was steep, and now he would feel the chill when he entered the water, and it was pitch black in front of him, so he could only touch it with his hands. The water is a bit turbulent, which makes it a lot more difficult to save people.
Lin Jinhong gradually felt depressed, and was ready to surface to change his breath and then go down to find it. When floating up, the foot accidentally kicked something......
