Xiaobei River has flooded several times in history.
Before liberation, every few years there would be a tragic situation where ten houses and nine empty houses would appear nearby.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state vigorously built water conservancy projects. The state provided funds and materials, and the commune provided labor. After several years of hard work, a river embankment was built.
The river embankment is made of Sanhe soil and is more than two meters above the ground.
The widest place can even drive a liberation vehicle, and the narrowest place can also pass a human-powered three-wheeler.
In the past, the commune would send people to maintain the river embankments every once in a while.
In recent years, life in the commune has also been difficult, and maintenance has been discontinued.
It has been raining intermittently in the past few days. Everyone just lamented that the rain this year lasted longer than usual, and did not realize that the water level had already crossed the high tide line.
When Cui Shanhe brought Li Weidong and many members to the scene and saw the conditions at the scene, his heart suddenly thumped.
This is not going to overflow, it is obvious that even the river bank is about to be washed away.
Once that happens, the villages and crops behind him will suffer.
Thinking of the terrible consequences, Cui Shanhe, who had always been steady and steady, couldn't help but panic.
Li Weidong's mood was not much better than Cui Shanhe's.
He never expected that something like this would happen to him just because he was sending some food.
The commune is not far from the river embankment.
Once the river breaks its banks, the trucks parked in the commune and the food on them will have to be used up.
No, the truck is still a small thing.
The most important thing is the houses and property of the farmer brothers.
In this era, most rural houses were made of mud bricks with wood and green tiles on top, which could not withstand floods.
Once the house collapses, the young people will be fine, but the elderly who have lost the ability to move will be in trouble.
Li Weidong, who had experienced emergency rescue and disaster relief, understood the seriousness of the matter and could no longer be stunned.
The rain in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the raging river water is rolling and roaring underneath, and the river bank will collapse at some point.
In this terrifying scene, there was a sudden click in the dark night sky, and a thunder flashed across the sky.
Some mentally fragile members were so frightened that they cried.
Seeing this, Li Weidong hurriedly grabbed Cui Shanhe and yelled: "Director Cui, we don't have enough people at all. Hurry, go find the gong and call everyone together! Find me a bicycle and a flashlight, I want to check
Check out the condition of the river embankment.”
After being yelled at by Li Weidong, Cui Shanhe finally came to his senses, handed the flashlight in his hand to Li Weidong, and said: "You ride my bicycle, Comrade Weidong, please excuse me."
Cui Shanhe went to the battlefield and was not afraid of bullets. He died gloriously and became a good man again eighteen years later.
But now once the river embankment breaks, the home behind him will be destroyed, and he, the director of the commune, will have no face to face the villagers.
Now he can only choose to believe Li Weidong.
After all, he thought that Li Weidong, a city man and a traveling truck driver, must be much more knowledgeable than him.
Li Weidong didn't hesitate. He took the bicycle pushed by the member and got on it. Just as he was about to step on the pedal, he thought of Niu Meng and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Apprentice, follow Director Cui and see if there is anything we need help with."
.”
It was also the first time for Niu Meng to see such a battle, and she felt a little scared.
But after being yelled at by Li Weidong, he immediately raised his head and chest and responded: "I understand, master, just go with peace of mind."
Li Weidong: "..."
This stupid apprentice sometimes talks unusually.
However, he didn't bother to teach her a lesson. He stepped hard and the car sped out.
After sending Li Weidong away, Cui Shanhe turned around and saw that Cui Shanmin was still in a daze. He angrily kicked him on the butt and scolded: "Why are you still dazed? Go call someone quickly! The river embankment is about to collapse, and the village is in trouble."
Someone will die!"
Cui Shanmin then crawled away from the river embankment and ran to the village to call for help.
After a while, the sound of gongs and shouts rang out in the village.
Boom--Boom--Boom
The sound of the gong resounded throughout the village.
At this point in time, the bankers have just gone to bed.
After hearing the sound of the gong, he casually threw on a cotton-padded jacket and rushed out.
The last time I banged the gong in the middle of the night was because there was a wolf.
But now it's raining outside, and the wild animals are hiding in caves. How can they come out to look for food?
Although Cui Qingming, the oldest person in the village, is already over sixty, his body is still very strong and his movements are no slower than those of young people.
After coming out of the house, he looked around and soon found Cui Shanmin who was playing the gong.
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Cui Shanmin, and other bankers quickly surrounded him.
"Liuwazi, why are you banging the gong in the middle of the night? This is not a joke?"
Cui Shanmin ran all the way and banged the gong vigorously for a long time. He was already exhausted.
Hearing Cui Qingming's question, he gasped and said intermittently: "Uncle Eighth, something is going to happen on the other side of the river. My second brother asked me to come back and call you."
When Cui Qingming heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Today's young people have not experienced it, but when he was a child, he followed his elders and saw the power of floods.
Once the river embankment collapses, not to mention Cuijiazhuang, several nearby villages will also be destroyed.
He immediately shouted to the surrounding farmers: "Everyone, have you heard what the mountain people said?
Everyone, hurry home and get your tools, including hoes, sacks, and hemp ropes. Bring them all to me.
Don't think about saving trouble, once the embankment breaks, the house we worked hard to build and everything inside will be destroyed!"
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately started to take action.
It’s not like no one wants to go home and run away with valuable things.
But then I thought about it, no matter how fast you run, can you still run faster than the flood?
It'll be the same by then, so it's better to think about how to help.
In the crowd, Cui Dake's eyes rolled when he saw this scene.
While everyone was thinking about flood relief, this guy was thinking about what benefits he could get from it.
Seeing that everyone had gone home to get tools, Cui Dake quietly went to the commune to touch.
There was so much food shipped, so if I took some away, no one would notice.
There is also oil for burning cars, which is a good thing!
****
In the darkness, Li Weidong rode his bicycle to check the condition of the river embankment.
Fortunately, no soil fell on the river bank along the way, which means it can last for a while, as long as flood prevention measures are taken.
Just when Li Weidong was about to walk back, there was a sudden thump in his ears.
The sound is very subtle, especially in weather like this with continuous heavy rain, and most people cannot hear it at all.
But Li Weidong is no ordinary person.
During this period of time, he has been consciously exercising, and with a ten thousand-fold experience bonus, his physical fitness has been steadily improving.
Today's hearing may not be as good as the magicians in movies and TV shows who can hear the numbers of dice, but it is still much more flexible than the average person.
Li Weidong immediately got off his bicycle and squatted down to check.
At this time, another voice exactly the same as before came over.
This time Li Weidong could see clearly that right under his feet, a piece of wet Sanhe soil broke into pieces and fell into the river.
If there is one piece, there will be a second piece, a third piece...
Such collapses have continued to increase.
Li Weidong suddenly felt bad.
Damn it, the embankment is really going to collapse!
He turned around, got on his bicycle, and pedaled towards where he came from.
A big 28-inch bumper forced him to pedal like a Ferrari sports car.
When he found Cuishan River, many members had gathered on the river embankment and were inspecting the condition of the river embankment.
