Chapter 20 "And here I am."

In the thatched house, Chen Si and Xiao Ergou stood upright beside Qingyang Lao Dao, listening to him tell the old things that had been covered with dust by time......

Eighteen years ago, the Yongjiang River in Y City experienced a flood that had not been seen in decades. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe Yongjiang dam has been in disrepair for many years, and that time because of the heavy rain for two days and two nights, the water in the river has skyrocketed, and the danger has been obvious from time to time.

Although the relevant departments of the city were a little worried, they could go to the site for exploration, but they did not take any practical and effective measures, let alone organize the downstream villagers to leave the dangerous area, blindly believing that there would be no accidents, and there was no need to issue an early warning or anything, which saved people panic.

The flood, before the authorities began to strengthen the dam, had easily broken the dam, and several villages downstream were all !!

The day the rainstorm began was also the day Chen Si was born. When Qingyang Lao Dao first started to talk about it, he linked Chen Si's birth with this disaster and said that Chen Si would never accept this connection.

Not to mention that he was not the only baby born in Y City at that time, even if he was the only one, what would happen? Tiansha Lone Star was not so powerful when he was born, he directly hiccuped the people in several villages as soon as he was born, and the master's connection was too strong......

Thousands of people die every day across Greater China, but do they all have to count the babies born every day?

However, Qingyang Lao Dao also said later that the disaster had nothing to do with Chen Si, so he quieted down and did not raise any more objections.

The flood broke out in the middle of the night, and several surviving villagers said in interviews that that night, the villagers who were sleeping were woken up by a loud bang when the embankment burst, and I don't know who first found out that the embankment had burst, and shouted in horror in the village: "The embankment has burst, everyone run for your life!" ”

At that time, the villagers were basically woken up by the sound of the embankment bursting, because it had been thundering and raining outside, and everyone's hearts were hanging, so they didn't sleep very much. After hearing the shouts, the villagers didn't care how to put on their clothes, so they all ran out of their houses in a panic, hugged their children and carried their old parents, and all tried their best to rush to the hills outside the village.

The tallest house in the village is only two floors, and if you stay at home, you can only wait for death!! It is common knowledge to live downstream of the levee all year round and run to higher altitudes when floods erupt.

But the flood beast, the flood beast, since ancient times, the flood has been compared to the man-eating beast. When the embankment bursts and the beast comes out of the cage, it naturally has a speed comparable to that of a tiger descending the mountain, or even several times faster!!

While there were still many people who had not escaped from the village, the "boom" sound of the flood had faintly reached the ears of the villagers, and in a minute or two at most, the flood would flood the village! It's too late!

Several villages in this vicinity are very low in altitude, not only located in the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River, but also the nearby terrain is similar to a basin, next to some low mountains, stone hills, one by one, tightly surrounding several villages. When a flood water comes in, it is not easy to flow out. Like a bowl, the village is located at the bottom of the bowl.

At this time, the fleeing villagers are like a group of panicked ants in the bowl, desperately trying to climb out of the bowl, only by climbing to the top of the bowl, or escaping from the bowl, it is possible not to drown in the water that will fall later.

When people are playing with ants, they will basically have a happy expression on their faces, and first happily watch the ants run around and desperately run for their lives. Then they poured water into the anthill, or into a bowl like the one mentioned above, and watched them struggle, then die, and then the corpses floated miserably on the water, laughing happily beside them.

I don't know, at this time in the dark night, there will be such an existence, crossed hands, with a happy smile, like watching ants flee for their lives, looking at a group of panicked villagers in the rain, thinking in my head, it's really fun.

Some villagers recalled that at this critical juncture, the retired old branch secretary in their village, who was almost 60, issued a final order to the villagers who had not run away (the current one no longer knew where to run), and the majestic voice was still very clear in the rain and thunder: "The old people have come down from the backs of the young people, we have all lived enough, don't stand in the way of the young people!" Those who are slow consciously get out of the way, and let those who can run run first! Women and children rush to the front! Don't look back! Everyone's life and death are on the line! ”

The villagers hurriedly climbed up the low hill according to the instructions of the old branch secretary, and before they could climb a few steps, the flood swept away the mud, stones and other miscellaneous things, drowning all the villagers......

That flood basically took the lives of all the villagers in the surrounding villages, and only a few people were lucky enough to be taken to the high places of the nearby low mountains by the flood in a coma. Later, after the government personnel arrived slowly, they were treated and saved their lives.

When the flood waters receded, the scene was terrible. The houses in the village were basically washed away, and there were broken rocks everywhere, and the corpses of the dead villagers were lying on their stomachs in the mud and waterholes, and there were broken walls and trees hanging on the other side, and there were children, women, old people, and men...... Everywhere!

The corpses were all slightly swollen with water blisters, their faces were hateful, and some of them had the expressions of horror and distortion before death, their eyes were wide open, and their mouths were wide open, full of fear of death!

A few days later......

In order to appease the souls of the dead, conform to public opinion, and even more so to keep the black gauze hat on his head, the secretary of the mayor of Y City at that time hurriedly buried the ashes of the victims of the flood in the best cemetery in the city, and also issued a press conference to ensure that the inspection and renovation of water conservancy facilities will be strengthened in the future, and similar things will never happen again.

But the citizens of Y City are not all fools, and everyone dies to death, so they are an afterthought? Is it a fart?! Citizens gathered in front of the city hall to strongly demand the resignation of the mayor's secretary, and the media also reacted strongly. Not to mention that the consequences of this flood are so big, the people above already know it clearly, and directly ordered all the responsible personnel related to the 98 flood in Y City to be removed from their official positions and imprisoned!

……

"And then, here I am."

Qingyang Lao Dao said that after the mayor secretary of Y City and other relevant officials were imprisoned, he paused, seemed to be a little thirsty, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Master, aren't you from Y City? Did you settle in Mantou Mountain later? Chen Si took advantage of Qingyang's old way to drink tea, and asked.

"Well, I was sent from above......" Qingyang Lao Dao paused for a while and then continued.

Xiao Ergou had never heard the master talk about these old things before, but this time he listened to it next to him, and he sat on the stool unconsciously, with his two little hands slightly bent, supporting his immature face, and listening intently to the next thing that Qingyang Daoist said.

Chen Si caught a glimpse of the appearance of the little second dog, and did the same, gently pulled the stool in front of him, and sat down.

Senior brother, could you sit down early...... I'm tired of standing up......
