As soon as Zhao Hong said this, Xia Jian hurriedly raised his ears and listened. Indeed, the rain is a little quieter, not as scary as it was at first.

Xia Jian finally let out a long breath, and his nervous mood relaxed a little. Suddenly, he found that the lightning was gone, and even the terrible thunder was gone.

The sound of the rain slowly turned into a rustle. The roar of the Xichuan River in the distance was deafening, and there was a kind of devastating momentum. Xia Jian couldn't sit still, and he stood up again.

At this time, Xia Jian's mobile phone rang. He hurriedly took it out and found that the signal was very weak, and there should be a problem with the nearby signal tower, so he quickly pressed the answer button. Chen Erniu's voice came from the phone: "Xichuan River... Entered the village."

Xia Jian was just about to speak, but the phone was disconnected. Xia Jian hurriedly dialed back. Not to mention that it was opened, there was no sound at all. Zhao Hong said anxiously on the side: "Don't fight, the signal tower must have been washed down by the heavy rain." Why don't we go out and have a look, the rain seems to have stopped."

Xia Jian was reminded by Zhao Hongyi, and he realized that there was really no sound of rain outside. My day, fortunately, it stopped fast, such a heavy rain, one more minute is a fatal thing.

"Good! Ma Yan just stay in the office! Let's go down and have a look," Xia Jian said, turning on the flashlight. The water that was pouring in from the balcony of the office was already above the feet. Due to nervousness just now, Xia Jian didn't feel it, but at this time, he found that both shoes were full of rain.

When Ma Yan heard this, she immediately objected: "I'm going too!" It didn't help to stay."

"How can it not be useless, get the stagnant water out of the office first. There were matches and candles in the drawer on the left, which were lit first. Let the people outside see that we have someone on duty here first, otherwise some people will panic," Zhao Hong said very calmly. After all, she was older and had experience in this area.

When Ma Yan heard this, she didn't speak again, so she hurriedly went to find a candle. Xia Jian walked in front with a flashlight, and Zhao Hong followed closely behind him. At this time, there was a bright light in the sky, not a single dark cloud, and even a little starlight.

It stands to reason that this should have been a beautiful night, but the rainstorm just now was crazy, who still has the mood to enjoy the starry sky? The balcony passage was full of stagnant water, and people stepped on it, making a fluttering sound.

Zhao Hong caught up in two steps and gently hugged Xia Jian's arm, Xia Jian could feel her heartbeat. No one believes the rainstorm just now, only those who have experienced it know how powerful it is.

The water in the courtyard on the first floor was knee-high, and people walked in it as if they were in a small river. Xia Jian turned around and whispered to Zhao Hong: "Why don't you go back and accompany Ma Yan, I'll go out and have a look alone." The rain is so deep that it will hurt your legs."

"Nope! I want to be with you" Zhao Hong rejected Xia Jian's kindness, and she hugged Xia Jian a little tighter.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "Then you follow me, the village doesn't know what the situation is." If you don't go out to see me, I can't let go of my heart," Xia Jian said, and walked out of the compound of the village committee with Zhao Hong.

OMG! As soon as I walked out of the gate of the village committee, the water on the road suddenly reached the base of my thigh. Xia Jian felt Zhao Hong's body trembling as he hugged his arm. The rain was particularly cold, and Xia Jian couldn't help but gasp.

There were faint voices of people in the village, and Xia Jian shone a flashlight. But I didn't see anything.

"Don't take it, it is estimated that at this time, Chen Erniu and they should block the river of the Xichuan River in the east of the village," Zhao Hong reminded Xia Jian softly.

When Xia Jian heard this, he pulled Zhao Hong and touched the east of the village step by step. The waist-deep rain made Zhao Hong shiver from the cold, but she had to follow Xia Jian in her life.

It was supposed to be a few minutes away, but it was extremely difficult to walk in such deep water, and I didn't dare to walk fast. If you accidentally step into the pit, the water may go over your head, which is a fatal thing.

Zhao Hong guessed correctly, before they reached the east end of the village, they heard the chaotic shouts of everyone. Among them, Chen Erniu's voice was the loudest.

Hearing the voices of these people, Xia Jian suddenly had courage, and his quickened steps almost dragged Zhao Hong over. Chen Erniu saw the flashlight, and he shouted loudly: "Who is it?" Don't pass it, it's dangerous here, go back quickly! “

"It's me! How's it going? Xia Jian responded loudly, and rushed forward a few times. Zhao Hong should have done her best and followed Xia Jian forward.

Seeing that Xia Jian was coming, Chen Erniu greeted him with two villagers. When they got closer, Chen Erniu gasped and said, "The rain is too heavy, and the river has washed away the embankment at the east end of the village and poured into the village, and there is really nothing we can do."

"With such a heavy rain, no one can do anything, you guys are already very good" Xia Jian said this, and suddenly there was an indescribable excitement. He choked and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Zhao Hong leaned towards Xia Jian, and asked Chen Erniu a little anxiously: "How is the situation on the north side of the river?" Is my greenhouse flooded? “

"The river is too loud, and there is no mobile phone signal, so I have completely lost contact," Chen Erniu said loudly.

Xia Jian let out a long breath, calmed himself down a little, and said loudly to Chen Erniu: "Hurry up and get water!" The village must not be flooded again, otherwise it will be in real danger."

After Xia Jian finished speaking, he pulled Zhao Hong to stand on a few bags of sand blocking the river, and then rushed up and blocked the river with everyone. The peasants are honest and work hard, not to mention this situation.

As soon as Xia Jian joined in, he was infected by their high emotions. The bag of sand seemed to be much lighter, and bag after bag was stacked. A watershed slowly took shape.

The roaring sound of the Xichuan River slowly became quieter, and Xia Jian, who was standing on the side of the sand wall, suddenly found that the water had reached his knees, which indicated that the water in the village was receding quickly. It was completely this sand wall that played a role, and Xia Jian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"The water is receding, the water is receding!" Zhao Hong stood on the sandbag and shouted loudly.

The villagers cheered, and Xia Jian couldn't help but clench his fists and wave twice at the sky. The fear that had accumulated in my heart was now gone.

Chen Erniu walked to Xia Jian's side and said, "There shouldn't be any more problems here, you and the village chief go back!" Otherwise, she'll freeze to death, and I'll take some people to see it in the village again."

Everyone has been together for so many years, Bi Zi's mind is still clear, Xia Jian listened, did not say much, then greeted Zhao Hong, and the two of them returned to the village committee tiredly.

Since the water in the village receded below the knee, it was a lot easier to come back. As soon as Zhao Hong returned to the office, he threw himself on the chair, and the whole person seemed to be paralyzed.

"Sister Hong! What's wrong with you," Ma Yan asked in a lost voice.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said to Ma Yan: "Let's see if there is still boiling water in the thermos?" Pour a cup for your village chief, she's frozen. The water outside was waist-deep and very cold."

The candles in the office were beating, and Xia Jian found it through the bright light. Zhao Hong's face was pale, and her thick black hair was all clinging to her head at this time, and her appearance was extremely pitiful.

Ma Yan quickly poured Zhao Hong a cup of hot water and brought it over, and she found an old towel out of nowhere to wipe Zhao Hong's hair. After drinking a few sips of hot water, Zhao Hong's face looked a little better.

Ma Yan poured another cup of hot water for Xia Jian, she glanced at Xia Jian, and whispered: "You and Sister Hong have taken off their shoes, and I put them outside to cool off, so it's uncomfortable to wear." Besides, no one at night will see if you are wearing shoes."

Ma Yan's words were humorous, which made Zhao Hong almost laugh. Also, it is really uncomfortable to soak your feet in the water, so it is better to liberate them. Running barefoot in the office in the middle of the night, no one can see it anyway.

Xia Jian kicked off his shoes while drinking hot water. Ma Yan said that she would do it, and she really ran out with her shoes and stood upright on the wall of the passage.

Zhao Hong didn't do it like Xia Jian, but ran out by herself, took off her shoes and put them up by herself. Xia Jian saw in his eyes that this was the difference between women and men when they did things.

After drinking some hot water and adjusting his mood, Xia Jian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was already more than one o'clock in the middle of the night. He didn't know when the rain was going to fall or when it stopped, but it was a kind of torment.

The mobile phone showed several text messages, and Xia Jian hesitated for a moment and opened them. The first one was sent by Qin Xiaomin, "It's okay if you beat me tomorrow, but I urgently need to know the situation over there now"

The next day, it was sent by Ma Chuntao, and the message read: "Mayor Xia! The mobile phone can't get through, the whole village of our village thanks you, we withstood it, the whole village is fine"

On the third day, Tong Jie sent over, "How are you doing?" It's not a big problem in the villages below."

Xia Jian thought about it, and then sent a text message back to Qin Xiaomin, "The power is out, and the mobile phone signal is weak." I don't know the specifics, but in general it's not a big problem because we did the prevention work yesterday in advance."

After sending it to Qin Xiaomin, Xia Jian sent another reply to Tong Jie, telling her that everything was fine and asking her to lead people to investigate all night, because after the flood, there would be potential safety hazards.

Qin Xiaomin replied with a message: "Thank you for your reply, I really don't know what to say to you." Stay safe, 10,000 apologies"

"If you don't know what to say, go to bed early!" After Xia Jian replied to this message, he put his phone up.

At this time, Chen Erniu ran into the office quickly. He was covered in mud and sand, and his two leather shoes had turned into rain boots, and every step he took made a fluttering sound.

"Pour him a cup of hot water to drink," Xia Jian said loudly to Ma Yan.

Ma Yan hurriedly poured a cup of hot water for Chen Erniu and brought it over, Chen Erniu took a sip and said: "The situation in the village is okay, it's this Zhang Er, the wall on the south side is down, there is no harm"

"It's his house again, it's really not worrying. What's going on here? Xia Jian asked loudly.

"It's not to save money, the walls are thin, and this time it will be washed down in heavy rain!" Zhao Hong snorted coldly and said.
