Volume 1 Spring Bamboo Shoots Chapter 69 No Wind and No Waves Capsize the Boat (I)

After many twists and turns, the new house was finally completed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info green tile green wall, one is two horizontal and three partial houses into a big "concave" shape, the corridor column is not made of wood, the green bricks are rebuilt, and the boxy all the way to the top of the eaves, which looks solemn and atmospheric.

The house was completed, but it was originally only brick, and there were a lot of doors, leaves, and sashes inside, and the floor of the house had to be tamped and flattened. Liu Yingguo has mostly been nested in a new house this February? He and Liu Laoman took a group of nephews and nephews to "jingle bell" and "ping pong" in the new house, and they were in full swing.

He does less physical work of splitting and pushing planers, he is still responsible for cutting and marking ink lines, and they are mainly responsible for splitting and chiseling the planer, and Liu Laoman is responsible for molding.

The old double doors were thick and heavy, the axes creaked when opened and closed, and the windows were either thick square vertical bars or carved grass into squares, but now they are outdated. He discarded all of them, and changed them into new-style hinged single-leaf doors, checkered glass windows, painted with paulownia, generous, beautiful and trendy, looking pleasing to the eye, and feeling particularly face-saving.

Since the seventh month of the lunar calendar, I have been making bricks and tiles, and now I have been busy for half a year, and now I can finally move in. In the past few days, a large family has cleaned up here, preparing to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the new house to celebrate the New Year, so that the new house is booming and lively, first use popularity to make the house prosperous, and then choose a day after the year to officially separate, so that the third and fourth children can live in.

The sun had hung in the middle of the sky, and it was nearly noon. Liu Yingguo was about to greet De'an and them back to the old courtyard to rest and eat, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the entrance of the village, and someone was shouting ghosts:

"It's amazing! It's capsized! Everyone, go and save people......"

Capsized? My lord, this is incredible! His heart sank into the eyes of ice, and he yelled at De'an who heard the sound, "What are you still pestleing for? Go and save people! "Run to the entrance of the village first.

In the summer and autumn of this year, the reservoir released water day and night, ensuring a bumper harvest of rice in the flat fields outside the mountain, and the water receded a lot, despite the rain and snow in winter, and the tail of the water also retreated to the dock side of the brigade headquarters. The water is narrow and shallow, and it is difficult for the ship to turn around at the dock. A temporary pier was set up under the team near Grand Bay to facilitate disembarkation and disembarkation.

In winter, it rains and snows, and the members who are used to work are idle. As the weather approached the end of the year, the weather was good, and there were many people who came into the mountains to cut firewood, so the brigade specially opened an additional aircraft and boat at noon to transport people from outside the mountains who were chopping firewood. People add firewood to collect a total of three dollars. The firewood is very large, especially occupying, so a small wooden boat is added to load as much as possible.

The bow and cabins of the locomotive ships were filled with firewood, and the firewood on the small wooden boats was piled up like a hill. Most of the people were crowded in the aft cabin, and there were also people standing on the gangside of the middle cabin that was not attached to the wooden boat, and some were sitting on the canopy of the middle cabin. The load of the aircraft and ships has exceeded the waterline by a large number.

The overload of the machine and ship is very often, the reservoir is not as good as the rivers, lakes and seas, the wind and waves are very small, the draft is deeper, there is nothing to do, more than ten years, there has been no problem, accustomed to it, the owner of the ship Liu Ansong has long been surprised. He ordered the men standing on the pedals and the roof of the cabin to sit down tightly, and with a whistle, he commanded the ship to sail offshore.

The ship's boss Liu Ansong blew the second whistle, and the operator Liu Buffalo put the rocking gloves into the rocking hole, opened the pressure reducing valve, and shook the rocker handle vigorously.

Liu Buffalo straightened his waist, took a breath, held the handle with both hands, accelerated and shook it again, but still didn't light the fire, only tom tom a cannon, but black smoke came out of the chimney.

He didn't even start shaking the three links, and Liu Buffalo was so angry that he scolded: "It's really a ghost in the day." ”

I took off my clothes and checked the oil valve, and everything was fine. He shook it again unwillingly, and this time it was finally activated. In the roar of the "rumbling" machine, the machine ship went offshore. Li Changzi stood on the narrow cocked bow of the boat, and slowly propped the boat to the shore with a long pole, the shipowner whistled again, Liu Buffalo let go of the clutch in the engine room, a wave bulged out under the rudder blade at the stern, and the locomotive with a small wooden boat hanging on one side slowly moved forward.

The locomotive boat sailed onto the middle waterway, and the shipowner gave another whistle command, and Liu Buffalo increased his horsepower and sailed into the big bend ahead. The big bend is a "U" shape, the two mountains are facing each other, the water surface is narrow, and the rudder must be hit to the left to the extreme to turn out. The old ship is familiar with the car, and the rudder turns the corner.

The boat owner Liu Ansong has been on the boat for five or six years, from the dock to the dam back and forth on the boat a thousand times, confident that he will not go wrong with his eyes closed on this waterway, but this time he made a mistake, for some reason, he ignored the small wooden boat hanging on the right side, the turning radius is a little larger, the ultra-high and ultra-wide wooden boat rubbed the stone cliff on the shore in the bend, "bang" sound, the wooden boat fell to the left, squeezed the boat to the left, just at this time, a north wind chased the water surface, and the high firewood pile on the boat was pushed by the wind, Amid the frightened screams of the people on the roof of the cabin, it rolled over in the middle of the curve, and all the people on the roof and the left side of the board fell into the water.

It was noon, most of the people were at home, and the first group of people rushed out, shouting in horror, and the villagers who heard the shouting rowed a small wooden boat to rush to the scene, ignoring the cold water, and trying to save people.

The boat was loaded with more than 40 people, and despite the best efforts of the villagers and the owner of the boat, six people were killed. The deceased were two men and four women, aged between 20 and 50, three of whom belonged to a village and the other three belonged to different commune brigades.

Liu Yingguo led the cadres and members of the brigade to arrange the rescued men and women in a team of households nearby, changed clothes and bathed, burned a fire to ward off the cold, and urgently reported to the commune and the district.

After receiving the report, the commune and the district attached great importance to it, and sent people to Xinghua Village to make arrangements and deal with the aftermath.

The frightened boat owner Liu Ansong and others were arrested, and in the face of interrogation, Li Changzi defended that he was standing on the bow of the boat to make a penny, and the pyre blocked the view, and he couldn't see the right side at all. The pilot, Liu Buffalo, said that he stayed in the engine room, but was only responsible for listening to the whistle and ordering the machine to speed up and slow down, and the way the boat was going had nothing to do with him.

The owner of the ship, Liu Ansong, trembled, spoke incoherently, and repeatedly emphasized that he was "touched by a ghost", and he obviously pulled the rudder in advance, but he didn't know how the ship capsized.

Liu Yingguo was so sad that he almost vomited blood. In the past six months or so, it has really poured blood mold, first the two old people in his own family passed away, and then the kiln collapsed to kill Zeng Qingfu, the second brother was seriously injured, and then there was a matter of full sisters, Tan Gusen was killed, Wang Xiaoying hanged himself, and he ushered in the entry and exit of the first leader of the brigade, plus he had to worry about repairing and building his own house, and he almost didn't sleep for a while. I finally got through, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, there was such a big disaster after the end of the year, this is God can't get along with himself......

The ship belongs to the professional brigade and is the collective property, and in the more than six years since it was launched in the 70s, although there have been several minor accidents, no one has ever died. Now six have been drowned at once, and this disaster has gone against the sky. I'm afraid that he, the number one secretary, will have to do something difficult.

Only then did the commune and district leaders be present, and everything was subject to their arrangements. First, the rescued people were placed in the classroom of the brigade school, a large pot of hot soup with ginger and green onions was boiled for them to dispel the cold, and then meals were arranged. The head of the district armed forces held a meeting for them on behalf of the government, gave each of them three yuan to be used to comfort them and compensate them for their losses, and then asked Liu Dewu to drive them to the reservoir dam and send them home.

It would have been a great trouble in the future, but it was not difficult at the time. Except for those who drowned in the same village to stay and help deal with the affairs of the deceased, the rest of the people escaped death, wishing to leave this terrible place as soon as possible, each of them dried their wet clothes and put them on, and squeezed into the medium-sized tractor box to go home while it was still early.

As for the deceased, they verified their identities one by one, sent people from the same village back to report the news, and the district notified the cadres of the brigade where they were located, and accompanied their respective families to come to collect and deal with the aftermath.
