Chapter 176: The Stormy Years (1)
There are unforeseen circumstances, and not all Rao's life is so smooth. Fate will always be full of thorns and waves, like a distant and bumpy road.
In the summer and autumn of 1998, extremely serious floods broke out in the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River, Songhua River, and other river basins. The flood in the Yangtze River basin was one of the other basin-wide floods of the 20th century, following the two floods of 1931 and 1954. The floods of the Nenjiang and Songhua rivers were also the most serious floods in the entire basin in 150 years.
I remember that it was in the summer, and it began to rain heavily in Wuyang. Not only is it not beautiful, but it makes Rao feel as if he is angry, and the rain is pouring like a scoop. There was lightning and thunder in the air, and the wind was howling, and the noisy people couldn't sleep at all.
The originally quiet and peaceful Sun Town is now in trouble, because the geographical terrain of Sun Town is relatively low, and Sun Town is very likely to have floods. Heavy rains have increased the likelihood of flooding. Faced with this situation, the party branch of the Sun Town Government convened all party members and cadres to hold an emergency meeting overnight.
The leaders of Sun Town first stood up to speak: "Comrades and party members, floods have begun to occur across the country recently, and the geographical terrain of our Sun Town is low, and it is very easy to rise water!" The Hongqi Reservoir (a large reservoir near Sun Town, mainly responsible for the water supply of the entire Sun Town) is under great pressure, and there is a danger that the embankment will burst, and the water level of the Mei River (a river near Sun Town, which is the mother river of Sun Town) is about to overflow! If it still rains like this, I am afraid that the situation will be bad, and everyone must be prepared for flood prevention and flood control. ”
Party member A said: "Just like the leader, the current situation is really very crisis, and it can be urgent!" Everyone must be mentally prepared, even ready to sacrifice. Notify the secretaries of all townships and village brigades to implement their responsibilities, make preparations for flood prevention, and prepare lifebuoys from house to house. ”
Party member B also: "Yes! There is also a problem, that is, food, food should also be prepared more, such as instant noodles and other foods that have been stored for a long time. By the way, when it comes to eating, firewood, electricity, medicines, and other daily necessities must be well prepared, so be prepared! ”
At this time, it was also Cheng Xiong's turn to speak: "Yes, I agree with the opinions of other comrades, this is indeed the case now, and the future situation is still uncertain, so we must prepare all kinds of flood control living materials!" In particular, to do a good job of flood prevention in various villages, I suggest that everyone act as soon as possible and prepare as soon as possible."
……
In this way, everyone talked about the final flood control plan, which is roughly as follows:
During the flood control period, flood control posts are set up next to the reservoir and the Meihe River to keep an eye on the rising tide of the water situation. If there is a flood situation, report it immediately and organize the evacuation of personnel immediately.
Every household should have flood control equipment, water basins, laundry basins, etc.
Every household must have enough food, dry food, drinking water, dry materials, medicines, and other materials.
……
Although I was prepared, the last thing I wanted to see was here!
It was a stormy night, with torrential rain and howling winds. The phone of the Sun Town Government has been ringing for a long time, and after a while, the town government staff who came over and were wet and picked up the antelope words.
"Hey! This is the town hall, what's the matter with you? ”
I only heard someone on the other end of the phone say eagerly: "Lijia Village!" ”
"What? What the? What happened to Lijia Village? ”
There was even more thunderstorm on the other end of the phone, mixed with Rao's cry for help: "It's water!" The water is rising! The river in Lijia Village is about to overflow, so notify the mayor quickly! Be quick! ”
"Quick! Quickly organize the masses to evacuate quickly, and I immediately informed the mayor of the town and asked for additional manpower. ”
"Quick! Be quick! ”
Lijia Village is the location of the old Duanmu family, because the geographical topography is relatively low among all the villages in Sun Town, so it is particularly prone to flooding. In the past, there would have been no flooding in the Tohoku, but this year is different from previous years, and there has been a flood like the south. The person who was watching looked at the river that was about to overflow, and hurriedly reported to the village party secretary, which was the scene just now.
Thunder! Rain! and the sound of people shouting one after another.
"Run to the heights! Run up the hill! The Mei River is about to overflow! Run! ”
The village chief and village party secretary of Lijia Village hurriedly went from house to house to call people.
"Lao Wang, are you all in the family? If you are ready, run to the mountainside! ”
"Lao Zhao! Leave those brutes alone, their lives matter! ”
"Qizi! Hurry up and carry your father, the water is going to overflow! Run! ”
"Lao Zheng! Don't worry about your mountain goods, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! Run! ”
In this way, the responsible village chief and the village party secretary wore waterproof leather boots and mobilized and evacuated from house to house, evacuating the people in the neighborhood to the mountainside.
"Let's see if anyone is left behind, don't leave anyone behind!" The village chief shouted loudly.
The villagers looked left and right, "Huh? Have any of you seen those people in the Duanmu family? A village woman said. This sentence seems to remind everyone, yes, why haven't you seen the people of the old Duanmu family?
It's late, that's fast. The village party secretary immediately rushed out and said, "Everyone don't move here first, I'll go find their family!" Don't run around, don't make a mess at this time. As soon as the words fell, the village party secretary ran out.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder, pouring rain, and fierce winds. I saw the village party secretary running towards Duanmu's house. The water of the Mei River seems to have heard the guidance of the gods, and it needs to punish the infinite ignorance of human nature like flooding Chentang Pass. The Mei River also covered the quiet and kindness of the mother river in normal times, but the stormy waves were rolling in. The water overflowed the riverbank as far as the eye could see, and the water ran along the furrows of the ground and over the cornfields. The so-called vicissitudes of life, roughly like this!
The river is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, enchanting into the world! Flickering like a ghost, flowing in the fields. But there is a wolf-like lethality, the reason why Dayu finally became the "emperor" in ancient times, his merit is to defeat the disaster that has the power of the flood and devours the land!
The village party secretary ran to Lao Duanmu's house after a while: "Feng! Wan Hui Mom! The fourth child of the Duanmu family, are you all at home? ”
Si Chengying, the old man of the Duanmu family, heard the village party secretary shouting, so he took over and shouted: "Old branch secretary, old branch secretary!" Our family is here. ”
The village party secretary ran to the place where Cheng Ying was shouting, and saw that the family was gathered together, next to several large laundry basins and large baths. The village party secretary said angrily to Hefeng: "Feng, you old man, I have all joined you, let you hurry up and run to the mountainside, run to the mountainside, why don't you listen?" Why are you still waiting here, what are you doing! Now that the water is about to rise, if your family doesn't run, are you going to die?"
Cheng Ying next to him saw that his father had no words, so he spoke for his father: "Oops~ the old branch secretary!" This old man in our family is really stubborn! If the ground of his house is not high, he can withstand the flood, but the water will not rise, so he will wait here and will not go out. ”
When the village party secretary heard this, he didn't get angry, and said, "What? On your other side, your house is on high ground? If the water can't rise, don't run away? My goodness, I heard you right! When has this been, and there is always talk about these things that are not there. Hey~ I don't even know what to do. Now listen to me and go up the mountain with me, so it's safer!" It's safer! ”
Cheng Ying is very young, he is not as stubborn as Feng, and after hearing the persuasion of the village party secretary, he did not do too much rebuttal, and nodded: "Medium!" Let's go. ”
However, at this time, Feng spoke: "No! I can't walk right now. ”
The village party secretary said in surprise: "What? Old man Feng, what are you? ”
Feng's eyes were very resolute, and he said to the village party secretary: "I want to be with my house, which has been passed down from our family ancestors for generations!" I must not just leave it alone, so how will I go to see my ancestors and ancestors in the future. ”
"Hey, hey~ Mr. Feng! I know you're nostalgic, but you also have to pick a good time, what can you do at this time? Besides, how many generations can you go up to? They are all people who have come to the east of the country, how many generations can your house be passed on? What's there to be reluctant to? I see that you are usually an intellectual, why did you become ignorant at this time? The village party secretary said.
Feng Dao: "How can this be called ignorance? The house is in the people, and the house is dead! I'm just leaving, what can I do with the house? ”
The village party secretary was helpless and angry, and said: "Hey~ You have been teaching for so many years, how can you teach yourself like this?" Are you angry? ”
It was too late, and the water of the Mei River immediately overflowed to the door of the old Duanmu's house. "Oh my! Is the water so high? Wanhui's mother shouted: "Old man! Listen to the advice of the village party secretary, let's run now, walk from the backyard, where the terrain is high, and there is still time. ”
Feng Na, who grew up in the northeast, has seen the flood situation, and after seeing the flood overflowing, he didn't forget to look in the direction of the distance. It was pitch black in the distance, and I could only hear the sound of the rain "crackling" in the river. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck in the sky, and electric light lit up the entire night sky. 166 Reading Network
