Shacheng District, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province.

At three o'clock in the morning, the old man arrived.

At five o'clock in the morning, the monks who had come to discuss the dragon vein arrived.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Zhiliang, who was dragging the box, also got out of the car.

He walked out of the train station in a daze, a little at a loss.

In fact, he asked Yang Xi to go down the mountain was also a hot thing, and now that he is here, he doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the disaster greatly united everyone, and even if Zhao Zhiliang participated in such a large-scale operation for the first time, there were volunteers who came and went to tell him what to do if he wanted to dedicate himself.

So Zhao Zhiliang ran away with the people.

Jingzhou is not far from the Yangtze River, so it has also been greatly affected, not only is it raining heavily, but the ground is also overflowing with water that does not reach the surface of the feet.

Now that several towns under the jurisdiction of the city have been flooded, and people are urgently needed to help evacuate the victims, Zhao Zhiliang is agile, and at a glance he knows that this person is a good swimmer!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the water level of the Yangtze River reached an unprecedented 46.5 meters, which was one meter higher than that in the last century, but fortunately, after that disaster, the Jingzhou embankment has been strengthened once, and it has been repaired to a height of 47 meters, so that the river water will not rush into the city beyond the dam barrier.

But anyone with a brain knows that if this heavy rain continues to fall, it will be a matter of time before the levee is flooded.

This is already the fifth place where the Yangtze River flood has reached.

The embankment in front has been declared to have been conquered by floods, the flood distribution area cannot bear so many floods, and the water of Dongting Lake is still spreading into the main road, if this situation continues, then Jingzhou City will usher in the sixth flood peak.

Moreover, the downstream Poyang Lake is also pouring into the Yangtze River, which has already crowded out the downstream waterways, and if there is really another flood peak, it is likely to be the strongest and largest since the flood broke out!

"I'm going to talk to the water chief here!"

As soon as the old man got off the plane, he gave his first order to get here, and he needed to be updated on the situation.

It didn't take much time, and the two sides were immediately connected.

The old man ordered the Minister of Water Resources to answer the questions, and the Minister gave the task to the specific department, with a time limit of 60 minutes.

There are six questions in total, each of which is about the situation of the flood peak and the results of the flood distribution.

Fortunately, the data behind these questions has already been compiled and analyzed, and scientists have carefully calculated and answered these questions on time and head-on.

So the old man ordered a few scientists to follow him to the front line to resist the flood, and give timely analysis and flood control methods.

He personally climbed the embankment to watch and witnessed the unbridled torrent of the river.

The rain hit the old man's black-rimmed glasses, blurring his vision.

"What about the people in the flood distribution area?" the old man suddenly asked, "Have you notified them to evacuate?"

"Informed," the respondent's voice was blown away by the wind, with the cold of early spring in it, "but there are some old people who refuse to leave." ”

"Why?"

"Because the last time they let them go, there was no flood discharge ......"

Listening to this man's explanation, the old man gradually recalled the situation back then.

The floods were ferocious that year, and hundreds of thousands of people in the Jingjiang flood diversion area were notified that the government was going to blow up the levees and use their homes to disperse the floods.

This is a desperate move in times of crisis.

So nearly 400,000 people chose to leave with the old and the young.

In the end, the dam was not blown up, and the water level of the Yangtze River stopped rising at the most urgent moment.

Now, some of those who have been through this are a little unhappy.

It's not that they don't know the results of the flood, but those people are also old and don't want to leave their homes again.

Let the flood be great, and let them die in their homes.

And...... And what if you're lucky, this time the water level stops at the end?

"I'll go there and see. The old man decided.

"It's too dangerous there!" his men tried to stop him, "you still have to command ......"

"There's still time!" said the old man waving his hand, "There's still time, I can't watch people wait there to die!"

The root cause of this flood is the abnormal movement of the dragon vein, which will not be easily stopped, and the old man feels that he has to go to the Jingjiang flood distribution area.

He had people drive him there.

But when I got to the gate of the flood distribution area, I saw a large number of people sitting there, holding banners, refusing to leave.

"Big brother, I beg you! If you leave now, you will be able to come back later!" someone was persuading them.

But the crowd still stubbornly refused, and even when they watched the old man's vehicle gradually approach, they rushed up and surrounded it.

The officer in charge of protecting the leader subconsciously raised his gun, but then put it down again.

Their guns will not be directed at their own people.

"Let the government come out and give us a reply, why do you want to drive us away!"

"The flood distribution area was built a long time ago, and it has long been outdated! Now, after so many years, there is another flood, and you can't come up with a new solution, you will only drive people out to make room!"

More than 20 years is enough for technology to be upgraded more than a dozen times, and the Jingzhou municipal government has built new areas after it has money, why do they think they should take them as an example every time?

A large crowd of people shouted and did not move, just stopped the car from moving.

"It's not the government's problem!" said the old man to the men at last, holding a loudspeaker in his hand, "This is the result of reality!"

"It's just been half a month away, why don't you agree!"

"Because I don't want to toss anymore. There was also a gray-haired old man on the other side who walked out and talked back to the old man, "We are already old men, there is no need to toss ourselves anymore." ”

"We ran once more than twenty years ago. More than 10 years ago, we also ran once. Last year, we ran again......"

"Our hometown was thrown away by us three times, and now that we are old, it is time to settle down, anyway, the young people have almost left......"

"If God wants to take away us old fellows with this flood, then we have nothing to say. ”

The successive catastrophes have smoothed out their courage in life, who knows if they run this time, whether there will be an earthquake next time or something.

Don't toss anymore.

Since God wants to accept people over, it doesn't matter how old they are.

"What about me!" the old man asked suddenly and aloud.

The rain covered his eyes, his hair was completely wet, and his soaked clothes clung to his thin and decrepit body, and the old man let out a painful roar.

"I'm sixty-five years old, I can stay at home and not come here, but why should I come here to suffer?!"

"Not for this flood!"

He couldn't help but tremble, and the horn in his hand was a little unstable, "I haven't slept well for a few days and nights, and I have a meeting every day to discuss how to solve the flood problem, but when we act, you have to hold me back!"

"You're convinced of God!

"So far, how many soldiers have sacrificed themselves to save people? It's good for you to sit here in peace, and let people worry about you!"

"I'm taking my time to persuade you to go. Before I came, the soldiers and civilians who were guarding the flood were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak...... Some of them have fainted and are hospitalized! You are comfortable, and we have nothing to do!"

Everyone was calmed by the old man's outburst of emotion, and after a long time, someone stood up and replied, "My family...... If you leave, you won't come back. ”

"Then build another one!"

The old man replied decisively, the cold wind and cold rain made his breathing heavy, "How can you give up your life because of this little thing?"

"You have all lived for so long, and you are willing to die in the waters!"

"Our army and our people will never be crushed by this difficulty! Our country will never be crushed in the face of such a setback!"

"So let's go! It's only half a month! When the flood waters recede, everyone will go home!"

"It's just to rebuild your home, what are you afraid of!"

The crowd roared.

"If the flood fight is not successful......"

The old man told him, "I will either overcome the flood or sink myself in the monstrous water after the breach of the embankment, and there is no other thought!"

He's so old, he's out of the way!

Half an hour later, the last of those left behind in the flood distribution area were finally sent away.

The bomb was buried under the levee, and when it was critical, the dam was blown open and the water was diverted into the flood distribution area!
