Chapter 35: The Flood is Merciless

Water and fire are the most ruthless, and even the most ordinary people understand this truth, not to mention the officials who have been dealing with the Yellow River water all year round. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In previous years, Zhang Jie likes rainy days, and there is no special reason, in the pouring rain, or in the drizzle, sitting alone in the house, holding a book in his hand, while looking at the book, while feeling the water vapor outside, the ears are the ticking sound of rain falling along the eaves, reading and reading, looking into the distance, looking at the village hidden in the heavy rain in the distance, even the mood is quiet.

Or when it rises, you can still hum a few ballads such as 'tick tock tick tick, little fish slap this splash ......', so that you don't have to give priority to it.

At that time, what I was looking forward to was that it would be good if the rain could rain for a few more days, although it would rain, it could be vigorously, like this, it has always been poetic and picturesque, and it is also good, but unfortunately, the rain of previous years, it seems that it has never been so big and so long this year in my memory.

In addition, today is the sixteenth day of heavy rain, that is to say, from the first drop of rain to now, it has not stopped for more than half a month.

For example, the water level of the Yellow River, which has been quiet for many years, has now reached the shore, and if the heavy rain continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Yellow River will overflow, and at that time, the entire county may face an unprecedented catastrophe!

In the first year of his tenure, he even just sat down in the position of the county magistrate for more than a month, and he had to face such natural and man-made disasters, if he didn't have a headache, it must be fake, and he mourned in his heart, how could he be so unlucky, God this is purely with himself can't get by, if there is a flood this year, then many of his plans will definitely be interrupted, and I don't know what chaos will happen when the time comes.

A secret report from the government has been sent, ordering all counties along the Yellow River to start their own embankments, and absolutely not allow the levees to burst.

Hurriedly looked for all kinds of literature in the county, rummaging for a while, Zhang Jie found that the whole county is a hard-hit county, since the record, all kinds of floods do not know how many times, and what makes Zhang Jie even more desperate is that according to the previous documents, it seems that as long as there is such a rainy weather, the Yellow River will inevitably flood, no matter how full the measures have been done before, it is impossible to stop the slightest.

Mobilize people across the county for sandbag reinforcement? This method is not impossible, before the previous several disasters, the previous county commanders of this county have also done this, but the effect, but there is no effect at all, if the rain can stop it is good to say, but once the rain continues, it is strengthened and firm, and finally, the Yellow River burst is still the final result.

When he came to the embankment of the Yellow River, when he went to inspect, he looked at the Yellow River water that could barely be seen, Zhang Jie was at a loss at the moment, he had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with the many matters in front of him, but fortunately, there were many old people in the county government and the county government, whether it was the many officials of the county government, or the peasants and soldiers who were recruited, they were struggling to strengthen the embankment at the moment, as long as the rain could stop, perhaps, they could block this wave of floods.

After wandering around the embankment for a day, I found that the heavy rain not only did not stop at all, but even became heavier and heavier, and I met with the main Bo and a few others, and discussed for a long time, it seems that there is no good way to strengthen the river bank except for this.

At this time, Zhang Jie found that several floods in the past broke the embankment, most of them occurred in this section of Dachen Village, even now, most of the nearly 1,000 militia recruited here have strengthened the river embankment, Zhang Jie inspected here, looking at the river water here is obviously more turbulent than elsewhere, he knew that the riverbed here should be congested by silt, otherwise, this should not be the case.

Is there any way to deal with silt? The people around are just here to widen the river, and then strengthen the riverbank, there is no good way at all, standing on the riverbank for a long time, Zhang Jie has a faint thought in his heart, it seems that he has seen the treatment method of this situation on what TV program, but because the time is too long, and it was a casual glance at the time, he didn't think about it carefully at all, so he had a vague impression of this specific water control operation.

"Master, you have been standing here for a few hours, flood prevention is a long-term project, you can't be tired on the first day, let's go back and rest and rest! The village downstream has already boiled ginger soup for the eldest man, drink some hot soup, and go to get rid of the cold, but he can't just fall down like this! ā€

Li Hu, who was accompanying Zhang Jie, reminded Zhang Jie.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, although it was summer, Zhang Jie still felt a chill, even if he was wearing a coat, but in such a heavy rain, the clothes on his body were already soaked, as Li Hu said, if he held on like this, his body would definitely not be able to stand it.

"Tell me to go down, cook more ginger soup, and send it to the people on the embankment, so that everyone can drink a bowl of ginger soup and go to the cold."

After giving an order to an accompanying Xiao Shi on the side, Zhang Jie followed Li Hu down the riverbank, the sky was already gray at the moment, and walking here made people's mood a little gloomy.

When I came to a house, I entered the house, and then I felt a lot warmer on my body, took off my robe, wiped my wet hair with a towel, and took a bowl of steaming ginger soup from Li Hu's hand, and Zhang Jie drank it in a big gulp.

"You can also go get a bowl to drink, but don't be unable to keep up with the pace of my big man when the time comes."

handed the empty bowl to Li Hu, and a burst of weakness surged up all over his body, but at this moment, Zhang Jie felt more and more weak all over his body, and when he went to bed, his eyelids were fighting.

"Master, this is your change of clothes, it's better to wipe your body before you go to sleep, otherwise you will definitely get sick at night!"

When it was hazy, I suddenly heard a crisp voice, and opened my eyes again, only to find that the sky outside had darkened, and the house had been lit with oil lamps, perhaps because of disrepair, in such heavy rain, the house had been leaking, and several basins were being placed in the leaking place.

Then the light, Zhang Jie saw that it was a girl's house in the house, holding a pair of dry clothes in her hand. After perceiving the wet clothes on his body, Zhang Jie spoke:

"Put it there, I'll change it later!" (To be continued.) )
