Xu Ding is one of the few old singles in Shangxu Village, their incense has not been prosperous, several generations are single, passed on to his generation of thirty and five have not yet married, last year in the matchmaker to marry a widow in Xiayuan Township, two rotten family Xu is so poor that they are all jingling. The widow came with a small bottle of oil. Xu Ding let the child follow their family's surname and became a cheap father. I thought that I would be a bachelor for the rest of my life, but when I was old, I finally tasted the taste of a man.

Their family lives on the edge of Xinghua City, and they are also half of the county, otherwise the widow is not married, why should she marry him. There is also a great talent Xu Yang who is famous nearby, and they are all from Xu Village. People are celebrities in the village, they don't have to work in the fields, they don't have to carry them on their shoulders, and even the lords in the county have to be courteous for three points.

Shangxu Village is close to Nanxi, and there is a high earthen dam on the side, blocking the stream for more than ten years.

Xu Ding was originally a person to eat the whole family is not hungry, but recently the family has added two mouths to eat, this work is less than the family will have to starve, if there is nothing to do, he will wander around the city and outside the city to see if he can get one or two jobs, he will not farm, the fertile land on the south bank is all the landlord's family, the Zheng family and the Xue family have scraped most of the fertile fields, and the ordinary little old surname is only a few acres of paddy fields. He can only do some hard work, this rain has been raining for nearly half a month, from the Midyear Festival to August, there is no sign of stopping, it is rainy, and he can't get any work, damn, the family is about to run out of food.

A few days ago, he passed by the notice board of the county government, and on a rainy day, he saw that many officials were posting some new news. A few days ago, it was said that there was another wave of bandits in Xinghua, but it stopped for several days. Xu Ding was illiterate, and people read it to him, saying that there might be a flood recently, and the family had money to prepare food quickly, for fear that the price of food would rise.

He sneered in his heart, hum! These government dog officials colluded with profiteers to deceive the common people into buying rice by this means. A few months ago, he saw Zheng Ji Rice and his men with hundreds of people who had brought back rice from a large rice warehouse out of nowhere, but he was afraid that the rice would not be sold out and moldy in the warehouse. The price of rice in the peaceful and prosperous era for decades is not as good as a day, and I don't have to worry about the rice money when it is a good time, how expensive can it be?

You also have to prevent water, this is going to die of drought and it has only rained for a few days, so you have to worry about flooding? Which year is not such a scene every day, in previous years, I saw your servants carrying sandbags on the river embankment every day, but this year I can't see it, what does it mean, it means that the dam is very stable this year, worry about a ball!

On the third day of the eighth lunar month, it rained for more than half a month, Xu Ding was still holding his widow wife and cheap son and sleeping sweetly in his dream, and suddenly someone banged on the door of his house. The two panels of the wooden door have been falling off for decades, and the drum-like thrashing method has not yet dismantled the door!

Xu Ding was annoyed when he heard this, he just got off the ground in a daze, and he waded directly into the water with a bang, and the cold water suddenly pulled him back to reality from a dizzy state, and as far as the eye could see, the entire bed edge was already full of stagnant water below half of the edge, "This... It's a fucking big deal! ”

Xu Ding struggled to wake up the two people who were still sleeping on the bed, opened his cabinet, all kinds of valuable objects and gold and silver were soft, and the edible rice grain picked up the cloth and wrapped it tightly, and carried it on his shoulders, Xu Ding was going to cry in his heart, it seems that the notice he read a few days ago is true, Xinghua is really fucking flooded!

The family packed up as soon as possible, and didn't care about other big things, and there was actually nothing of value at home, and when they opened the door, the water rushed into their dilapidated house frantically, and they almost washed down their cheap son. Looking around, there was water as far as the eye could see, every house was crying and wailing, all busy packing up their things and preparing to flee for their lives, many dilapidated old houses collapsed under the water, and some people were still crushed under the rubble. Everyone only cares about themselves, who has the leisure time to take care of others.

The dam on the south bank of the South Stream has burst.

After entering August, the rain became more crazy, and there were heavy rainstorms for three consecutive days, and the rushing Nanxi water roared like a wild horse. Under the mixed power of rain and river water, the embankment on the south bank suddenly opened a hole, the river water was like a beast out of the cage, the earth embankment mixed with yellow mud and red soil and sand collapsed with a bang, and the mud slide slipped into the river and splashed the water at a high height and poured into Shangxu Village first. Wu Renyi led a team of people to block the breach, Li Chengfu led another team of people to organize the evacuation of the masses, if the officials knocked on the door a little more, Xu Ding estimated that he would never have to wake up this sleep, and finally tasted the taste of a happy life for two days, so he had to lift his womb to be a ghost.

Crying, everywhere is the cry of the broken family, the sound of wailing resounded through the world, some people are reluctant to let their homes be swallowed up by the flood, and some people are sad that their relatives were swept away by the flood. The peaceful days accumulated by decades of peace came to naught at this moment. The living are exhausted, and although the personnel of the embankment are desperately trying to rescue the people, the manpower is limited, and that little sandbag is like mud into the sea, which is a drop in the bucket. The water level is still rising, and the world is developing, and Shangxu Village is bound to become history.

Li Chengfu and Wu Shiyi got the death order of Song Zhixian this time, if they don't rescue the people, they will protect the river embankment with all their lives, and they will remove the two heads of the capital when they come back, anyway, the people who want to be the heads of the capital can line up to Fengshan. The two of them gave up their lives, and they all took out a desperate Saburo frame in front of the charge, carrying and carrying it, but one carried sandbags and the other carried the people, fighting against this once-in-a-century catastrophe in a two-pronged manner.

In the eyes of the people, these hungry wolves who usually wear tiger skins are actually life-saving bodhisattvas today, and many people's lives are saved by them, not to mention the door-to-door warnings, how many thatched huts have been washed down by the water, and they lifted the roof beams to drag people out. Some of the people's feet were crushed, but these officials carried them on their backs to escape the water.

Song Guangdou received an emergency from the flood soldiers in the county office, and his hands trembled faintly with excitement, and Master Lu thought that he was frightened, so out of shape. Song Guangdou is happy, this is exactly the same as Liang Chuan's arrangement, everything is going according to Liang Chuan's expectations, what is coming, first it rains and floods, if he really seizes this opportunity, performs well, and sets up a good signboard for himself, I am afraid that in the end it will really be a wealth for himself.

For example, he summoned the two leaders and demanded in an unprecedentedly stern attitude that they must put the safety of the people's lives and property in the first place and plunge into the tide of emergency rescue and disaster relief. If anyone is perfunctory, he will personally supervise the battle in the county office, and once the crime of dereliction of duty is verified, he will be dismissed from his post and then brought to justice, and he will never be evaluated. Where have the two of them seen such a scene, Song Zhixian's methods They all know that the reason for reading is the most unreasonable, and they can do whatever they want when they come up with their temper, no one can help it, there is no way, the two of them have a scene in the morning.

Not only Shangxu Village, but also Xiazhuo, which is next to Shangxu, also suffered a bad disaster, and the water overflowed the large paddy fields on the south bank like no money, and all the rice that was about to be harvested was soaked in water, and it was impossible to harvest it. Several nearby villages were in the country, and the people were displaced and all poured into Xinghua City.

The guards guarding the gate of Xinghua City received an edict from Song Zhixian that no matter where the victims were homeless, they should be let into the city to avoid them, and they should not be blocked for no reason. Now where else can I go, it's a Xinghua, the homeless people are like refugees, carrying luggage and pouring into Xinghua City, those who have money can still live in restaurants and inns, and those who don't have money can find an eaves that can keep out the rain and fall asleep, running for a day, cold and tired, I really can't think about things anymore.

Xu Ding was so poor that he only had a pair of pants left, where was the money for the two to live in a hotel, so he found a dilapidated ancestral hall to nest under the eaves of others, and he would take refuge first.

"The child is fine, the water will pass soon, and when the water recedes, we will go home, I will see what work I have to do in the next two days, and make some money, you can find a shop to live in first." Xu Ding is a responsible and good man, although it is very difficult to get work when the rain comes, but he still squeezes out a smile to comfort the widow and the cheap son.

Eating is really a problem right now.

Refugees poured into Xinghua City one after another, and they could accidentally step on a refugee when they stepped down, all of them were villagers from all over the country, the water was too big, Xinghua was next to the Dahu Mountain, and the terrain was quite high, and on the edge of Nanxi, the embankment here was also the strongest, so there was no need to worry about the water flooding into the city.

The team led by Wu Renyi could not stop the erosion of the flood at all, and the river embankment was lost. After the group consulted Song Zhixian, they joined Li Chengfu, and the two groups of people searched and rescued the people in distress. But most of those who escaped went to Xinghua, and those who didn't escape were basically soaked in water.

The two of them saved a lot along the way, but when they saw that the water was too strong and there was no water equipment such as a sampan in their hands, they could only sigh and retreat into Xinghua City. The two returned to the city, and met a lot of people along the way, the people can see it really today, many people are grateful, and there are also many people who bow their heads and kneel to thank the Xinghua officials for their life-saving grace. How does that sentence say, a wicked person puts down the butcher's knife is to become a Buddha on the ground, a good person does good things in his life, but he is a wicked person who does a bad thing. These servants are today the embodiment of God and synonymous with justice.

Wu Renyi was grateful to them and felt that it was right, Li Chengfu was very sophisticated, and he said when he met people: "It's all arranged by Song Zhixian, and I obey my orders." "The people gradually spread that the biggest savior of this catastrophe is still Xinghua's parent official Song Zhixian!
