Chapter 296: Walking in circles

At Xinzheng Airport, I learned that the rain spread across North China.

Along with the rainfall, there are also flood peaks in the Yellow River Basin, and Henan and other places are more affected by heavy rainfall. All localities are requested to prepare for flooding. Until now, not a single affected area has been announced. But my hometown was no longer in touch, and I called Lin Guoqing and my parents again, but I still couldn't contact them.

After discussing with Sun Xiaoqing, we decided to take the bus home.

We hired a taxi from Zhengzhou to Ruzhou, and along the way we saw many landslides and even a village buried in the mud. The PLA soldiers were rescuing me, and I gasped, and I didn't know what happened to my parents.

……

The heavy rain began to fall in the night three days ago, and no one noticed it when it first started. But after a day and a night, Lin Guoqing couldn't sit still. In order to build a tourist area, a huge dam was built above our village to store water for the tourist area.

After a day and night of rain, the dam crossed the boundary and it was clear that there were several holes. It was not possible to open the flood outlet, and the flood peak swarmed down the river in the valley. Lin Guoqing summoned Wang Hongwei, the village head, and the captains of the village brigade to hold a meeting together, and asked a few strong men from each nearby village to go to the dam to guard the dam to prevent it from collapsing.

If the dam fails, the villages and fields downstream will be submerged.

Lin Guoqing's method is very good, but these captains and village chief Wang Hongwei are not happy. Now is not the New Year's holiday, and all the strong laborers in the village have gone out to work. There are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled left, is it possible for them to resist the dam failure?

Wang Hongwei is right, 90 percent of the remaining population in the village are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are few strong laborers. This time Lin Guoqing made a difficulty, and after spending another night in hesitation, the rain stopped a little bit, Wang Hongwei said triumphantly.

"Look, how can the embankment built by Tianrui Group collapse. Lin Zhishu is still too young to see the big water in our village in the past. ”

Lin Guoqing didn't speak, his face was a little gloomy. The communication signal and power supply in the village have been cut off, but there is no communication company or power group to send people to repair it. It means that not only Shiti Village, but the signal source of the entire area has been cut off, and the communication company is simply too busy.

Thinking about this, Lin Guoqing immediately asked Wang Hongwei to rush to the town and report the current situation to the town mayor Han Xiaojun. The other is to contact the outside world as soon as possible, so that the outside world can support Shiti Village and prevent the dam from bursting and endangering the lives of downstream villagers.

After making this deployment, Lin Guoqing went to the dam again.

And Wang Hongwei quietly rushed to the town and found the mayor Han Xiaojun. That night, Wang Hongwei did not go back, but stayed at Han Xiaojun's house for one night, and the two talked happily. As for the content of the speech, hehe, it's very simple. When the embankment was built, 150,000 yuan was allocated, and only 80,000 yuan was used to build the embankment later.

Now that the rainstorm is about to burst, let Lin Guoqing guard it alone, and then the responsibility will be put on him. By the way, they will get another levee construction fee, and they will definitely get more of it when the time comes.

Han Xiaojun patted Wang Hongwei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hongwei, you, the village chief, are about to become the branch secretary." ”

"There, there, it's all Brother Han's love." Wang Hongwei learned the lines he saw in the TV series and said such a sentence.

"Ha Luha, let's go." Han Xiaojun picked up his wine glass and said.

That night, the torrential rain intensified sharply. Lin Guoqing and the strong men from several villages who lived on the dam were so anxious that they threw the prepared cement bags into the water, but to no avail. The cement bag that had just been thrown into it was washed out of the flood in an instant. Suddenly, a large chunk of cement peeled off from the top of the embankment, and a new hole appeared.

Lin Guoqing saw that he couldn't hold on, so he immediately became anxious, and said to a few strong men: "Go down and block the leakage with your body, otherwise the embankment will collapse." ”

After speaking, Lin Guoqing jumped into the water first, and asked everyone on the shore to throw sandbags, stones, and cement bags to the leakage. When a few men saw that Lin Guoqing was on board, one of the bold guys scolded: ", the village party secretary is all on board, what are we still stunned about." ”

Several strong men jumped into the water and blocked the leak with Lin Guoqing.

I arrived in Ruzhou that night, and when I arrived in Ruzhou City, I found that the streets were all covered with water, and the railroad tracks had collapsed somewhere. I asked someone about it, and they said that the hardest-hit area was in Jiliao Town. Now I'm even more anxious, but the taxi from Zhengzhou doesn't go to Jiliu Town.

So I could only take Sun Xiaoqing out of the car and stop the car on the national highway to see if there was any car going to Jiliu Town.

At this time, the rain was a little lighter, and there were many passing cars on the road.

After finally stopping a truck going in the direction of consignment, the two of us didn't care about anything, so we rushed home in the cab. When I arrived in the town, I realized that the rainstorm was really too heavy, and one of the buildings built in the last century collapsed in the torrential rain, and the sewage flowed from the streets, and all the houses in the surrounding villages collapsed except for the country houses built by the wealthy.

Due to coal mining, there are even many large potholes on some roads, and many bridges have broken down. If we hadn't come early, it would have been a little more difficult to come back.

After arriving in Jiliu Town, we decided to go to the township government for help first.

When I arrived at the township government, I found that the township government building was empty.

After inquiring, we went to the house of the township chief Han Xiaojun again.

Han Xiaojun's home is a three-story villa with a very grand gate and a high position, which has not been affected by the torrential rain at all. And they also have a generator at home, and the lights are bright.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the smell of dog meat and beer came from inside.

Sun Xiaoqing and I took a deep breath and walked up, knocked on the door, met Han Xiaojun, and explained to him our intentions, hoping that Han Xiaojun would help us and send us to Beiwangzhuang in Shiti Village. Han Xiaojun said to us bluntly: "The whole township is now paralyzed, and we need to wait for the government rescue team to come before we can help, and now there is nothing I can do." ”

"I'm grass!" I scolded angrily, and Sun Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped me.

He must have a motorcycle at home, so give me a one, wouldn't you be happy? As soon as I wanted to lose my temper, Sun Xiaoqing quickly pulled me out of the room, and I said to her: "Why are you stopping me, see that his front teeth fall out if I don't beat him." ”

Sun Xiaoqing said: "Didn't you notice that he was perfunctory to us from the beginning? ”

Sun Xiaoqing reminded me of this, and I remembered. I looked at Han Xiaojun's house and was furious.

At this time, at Han Xiaojun's house, Wang Hongwei, who was hiding upstairs, ran down, and said with palpitations: "Why did he come back, if he told him about our affairs, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Han Xiaojun smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, let's go around this time." ”
