What's more, if something happens to Teacher Shen, neither he nor Secretary Du will be able to give an explanation to the superiors.
"I insisted on coming." Shen Zizhen answered directly without waiting for Secretary Du to speak.
Shen Zizhen had already spoken, and Mayor Liang couldn't say much.
"Teacher Shen, it's dangerous here. You'd better find a safe place to rest for a while!"
"Lao Liang, Teacher Shen and Comrade Xiaotian said that the bottom of the embankment may have been seriously damaged. Let's find someone to go down and have a look."
Secretary Du knew that it was impossible for Shen Zizhen to leave, so he directly spoke out what Shen Zizhen had said before.
"Looking from above, the embankment should be quite strong!"
A man in his fifties spoke up, obviously disapproving of the idea that the damage below the embankment was serious.
Mayor Liang looked at the man and said, "Teacher Shen, this is Lao Wu, the branch secretary of our village."
"Secretary Wu, we are not targeting without aim." Shen Zizhen said, her tone a little anxious, but still patient.
"However, we just walked over it and didn't feel there was any problem."
Secretary Wu obviously still insists on his belief that
"The top looks pretty solid. If you walk over it, you can feel there is something wrong below. You can't hold on anymore. Party Secretary Wu, I know you are experienced, but there are some things that even if you have experience, you can't. You must be able to judge accurately."
"If the damage below is serious and the rainfall surges tonight, I'm afraid the dam won't last long. If something happens, it will be too late for us to regret it," Su Sangong said.
He believed that his sister's judgment should be correct. Especially, he saw that the teacher thought so too, which made him even more convinced that the bottom of this embankment was probably almost destroyed.
In other words, if there is really a problem below and it has been hollowed out by water, the dam may collapse at any time.
Secretary Wu looked at Su Sangong.
If Su Xiaotian had spoken, this man would probably have expressed doubts, but now it was Su Sangong who spoke, and he didn't know what to say.
"Lao Liang, let's find someone to go down and take a look." Secretary Du said.
He decided to trust Teacher Shen and these two young comrades.
After all, they are from the capital and are people who have seen the world, so they should not talk nonsense on such an issue.
Besides, if there are no problems, then you can feel at ease if you go down and take a look.
If there is a problem, deal with it immediately, and it may still be too late.
After hearing that Secretary Du agreed with Shen Zizhen and the others, Party Secretary Wu no longer objected.
"I'll make arrangements right away. The big pillars in our village have good water properties. I'll talk to him about it." Party Secretary Wu agreed to the matter.
"When you go into the water, tie a rope. No matter what time, people's safety is the most important thing." Shen Zizhen warned.
Secretary Wu agreed loudly and left immediately.
Soon, several more people came over one after another.
From the mouths of the two town leaders, Shen Zizhen and others knew that these were village cadres.
"You organize the people in the village to prepare for the repair of the dam." Mayor Liang directly made arrangements: "Try to get all the people in the village who are able to come out to help, and we must seize the time."
If the dam breaks, we don't know how many people will be affected, and some people's homes may even be washed away.
"Mayor, it's already dark, can't we wait until tomorrow?" Someone obviously felt that now was not a good time to repair the dam.
"Village Chief Li, I want to wait, but we also need to see if the dike can wait until tomorrow. Old Wu has arranged for people to go down to investigate. According to our judgment, our dike may not last until tomorrow."
"Secretary Du, is what Mayor Liang said true?" Another village cadre asked Secretary Du.
Obviously, this is not a person from Tongliang Town, but a village cadre from Dongwan Town under the jurisdiction of Secretary Du.
"The situation will only be more serious than we imagined." Secretary Du also tried to make the matter as serious as possible.
Although these village cadres are all pretty good and have prestige in the village, it is not easy to get them to move at this time.
Only when they all feel that the matter is very serious will they really do it wholeheartedly.
"Can't you really wait until tomorrow?"
"First organize people and get everyone in the village ready to go to work. We are protecting our own homeland, not working for others." Mayor Liang got angry when he heard these people's doubts and spoke forcefully. said.
Several village cadres saw that Mayor Liang was angry and did not dare to say anything.
"Let's go take a look at the dam first. People should have gone into the water," Shen Zizhen said.
He could finally see that these people would not be willing to organize people to work unless they were really sure that there was a serious problem below the embankment.
After all, household production is now guaranteed, which is different from previous years.
When several people heard what Shen Zizhen said, they immediately nodded in agreement.
They all felt that although there were some problems with the dam, it was not too serious.
Therefore, they all believed that it would not matter if it was delayed until tomorrow.
The group of people hurried towards the place where Su Xiaotian thought there was a problem, and saw a young man who had just entered the water with a rope tied around his waist.
On the shore, there were several people pulling on the rope nervously.
"Secretary Wu, let the big pillar go down at this time. What if something happens? If we suspect there is a problem with the dam, we can pour some sand and gravel here. It won't be a big problem if we keep it up for one night."
Some people still have some objections to Party Secretary Wu letting people get into trouble at this time.
It was completely dark now, and people couldn't see anything underwater.
"What do you know? If there is a big problem with the underwater dam, it won't matter how much sand we pour here!" Party Secretary Wu scolded.
Although the young man did not completely agree with Wu Zhishu's intention, he knew that Wu Zhishu had a bad temper, and if he got angry, he would not cause trouble for himself.
Su Xiaotian became more worried when she saw so many people standing on this fragile embankment.
It has been raining heavily for more than half an hour. This embankment should have been softened by the rain. With so many people standing on it at the same time, the danger will increase.
She wanted to say that everyone should be evacuated, but she also knew that it would be useless even if she shouted at the top of her lungs.
After thinking about it, Su Xiaotian went over to find two leaders from the township.
They are local leaders, and these villagers should be able to listen to what they say.
While Su Xiaotian was communicating with the two of them, the people on the embankment felt that the people in the water were pulling on the rope, and they quickly started to pull the people up.
This was agreed before the big pillar was launched into the water.
In such weather, even if the people in the river scream, the people on the shore will not hear them.
Therefore, it was agreed that as long as the big pillar pulled the rope under the water, the people on the shore would immediately retract the rope and pull the person up.
