Su Xiaotian was deeply moved by the optimism and unity of these people.
What we fear most in this world is unity.
There is nothing wrong with saying that people row oars and sail a big boat.
It was just a small dam collapse. With so many people working together to repair it, Su Xiaotian firmly believed that it would be repaired soon.
But in fact, the imagination is wonderful, but when it is actually done, it is a bit difficult.
Although their method was very good, the terrain of this place was special, and the first time they failed at the last minute.
Everyone felt a little disappointed when they saw that the water flow that had become smaller had become turbulent again.
But no matter how disappointed you are, you still have to continue.
Several craftsmen in charge of the command got together to discuss and greeted everyone again.
Everyone learned their lesson and started the second repair.
At this time, some people further away got the news and rushed over to help.
Seeing more and more people, more and more lights, even though the rain was still pouring down, Su Xiaotian felt warm in her heart.
In this world, although there are inhuman people like Xiaoshu’s uncle and aunt, there are more people who are good.
How many people here are willing to risk their lives to help on such a stormy night, just for the sake of those downstream who have nothing to do with them.
There are more and more people, and the speed of building dams is gradually increasing.
Even later, everyone shouted slogans together.
The sound of the trumpet became louder and louder, and the location of the breach gradually closed up. Later, only about one meter remained.
But it was at this moment that the last time failed.
Everyone increased their speed and carefully covered the last distance.
The power of many people is most vividly demonstrated at this time.
With so many people, no matter how fast the water flow is, one person and one stone can build up the dam.
Soon, large and small stones, blocked by bamboos, successfully filled up the breached place.
But a stone is a stone after all, and through the cracks in the stone, water is still flowing downstream unremittingly.
Although the water has slowed down, everyone is worried that if the rain is heavier, these stones may be washed away again, and then it will really be a disaster.
"Young and old men, the critical moment has come. Let's work hard to build this dam thoroughly and solidly."
I don't know who it was, but he shouted loudly in a loud voice.
It was this sentence that clearly reached everyone's ears in the storm.
People who originally felt tired and wanted to take a rest can regain their spirits because of these words.
If there was concrete, it would be much easier to build the embankment. But now that there is no concrete, they can only rely on the most primitive methods to build the embankment as tightly as possible.
Some people had already entered the river at this time. At night when visibility was extremely low, it was actually very dangerous for these people.
In order to avoid casualties, people who went down to the river were tied with hemp ropes according to the previous method. However, this time they were not dragged by others, but tied directly to the big willow tree by the river.
Su Xiaotian carefully observed this terrain in the dim light.
She felt that even if the dam was repaired now, it would still be washed away later. If she wanted to completely change the situation, she could only change the angle.
However, she was not proficient in this aspect, so she would still recommend that the leaders find professionals to plan the matter.
Su Xiaotian is a person from later generations, how could she not know that people are united now, and it is difficult for one family to have help from hundreds of families, but in a few years, people will not be so united.
If we encounter such a danger again, it is estimated that not so many people will be willing to volunteer to help.
If you have this time, wouldn't you like to make some money for your family?
Su Sangong was curious when he saw his sister standing by the embankment, looking left and right.
"Xiaotian, what are you looking at!"
"Third brother, I think this dike is still dangerous. The angle is too sharp. The river will hit directly downwards. Sooner or later there will be problems."
Others were building dams. If Su Xiaotian said this to others, she would probably be scolded.
It is unlucky to say this at this time.
But now she was facing her brother, and Su Xiaotian had no scruples.
Su Sangong is proficient in planting, but doesn't know much about water conservancy projects.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone say: "After this dam has been repaired like this, the angle has become even sharper. I'm afraid it won't last long. Since we are repairing it, why not spend more effort tonight to continue repairing it?"
If the angle is gentler, you can hold on for a while longer."
Su Xiaotian, brother and sister, looked at each other.
Sure enough, the masters are among the people.
When Mayor Liang and Secretary Du heard what this man said, they naturally had no objections.
Just because the person who spoke was a famous capable person in the surrounding villages.
Although this person has never read a book, he is indeed a capable person in water conservancy projects.
At this time, what he said was certainly not without purpose.
"Excuse me, Master Fan, please show me how to fix it."
Secretary Du said this politely, but it was only polite.
Although they are local leaders, their authority is very limited and they cannot promise more to others.
For example, tonight, these people who volunteered to help would have been given work points a few years ago, but now, they dare not say anything more.
They can't decide whether to give money or anything.
Fortunately, the people's hearts are simple, and everyone is related to each other. If there are difficulties downstream, people upstream will help, and there will not be many complaints.
The man known as Master Fan heard that the town secretary supported him, so he loudly called on some people to start repairing the angle of the dike according to his prediction.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.
So many people worked from dark till dawn to finally repair the entire embankment.
According to Master Fan's request, the angle of the embankment has changed greatly, which makes people feel reassured.
The people under the water had changed several times. At this time, everyone finally felt relieved when they saw that the dam was so tight that there was no water seepage.
When the sky became bright, the rain finally stopped. This night's heavy rain significantly exceeded the normal range.
Mayor Liang and Secretary Du are both worried whether more places will be affected by the disaster.
They are local officials and have a lot to worry about. They don't even bother to rest. They simply arrange the things here and go to work.
It was only at this time that they remembered that Shen Zizhen was with two students.
They were very moved by these three people.
If people upstream can come to help, it is more or less because they are familiar with people downstream.
But Shen Zizhen and a few others were helping purely on a voluntary basis.
"Teacher Shen, you have worked hard, go to my house to have a rest and have breakfast." Secretary Du greeted sincerely.
Last night, I originally wanted to solve the problem of the small tree, but the problem of the small tree was not resolved and the whole night was soaked in heavy rain.
Shen Zizhen nodded.
This night, although he helped less, he was not idle either. At this moment, his whole body felt like he was broken and he really needed to rest.
In addition, they had to rush to the city today to try to take the evening train back to the capital.
Repairing it is very necessary.
"In this case, I will bother Secretary Du!" Shen Zizhen agreed without any politeness.
Several people were planning to follow Secretary Du home when they saw a group of people coming towards them.
