Tian Laoshuan walked over and picked up the sack that Liu Qingyu had just put down, and his expression changed greatly. The sack of sand and gravel weighed at least 120 kilograms, but there were already so many piled on the site. It was obvious that Liu Qingyu had been working a lot.
After a long time, Tian Laoshuan was really moved. Human hearts are made of flesh!
Tian Laoshuan directly took out his mobile phone, dialed the number of the village party secretary Meng Qingchao, and said loudly: "Lao Meng, use the loudspeaker to broadcast immediately. On the one hand, he will organize the villagers to prepare to evacuate their homes at any time, and on the other hand, he will organize the men in the village
Bring your own dry food, tools, sacks, and vehicles to the reservoir dam to patrol and protect the dam. Now the water level has risen sharply. If reinforcement is not carried out, I am afraid it will really be unsustainable. In addition, we will send people to Tianwangling to take a look.
Seeing how the tents are set up as Mayor Liu said, if the situation is critical, we must evacuate as soon as possible."
Meng Qingchao and Tian Laoshuan have been partners for a long time. They cooperate very well and agreed without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Tian Laoshuan called the village chiefs of other nearby villages and told everyone about the situation of the Guanshan Reservoir, asking everyone to quickly organize people to reinforce and protect the dam and conduct inspections.
After making the call, Tian Laoshuan led people towards Liu Qingyu. On the gravel beach on the other side of the dam, in the dark night, Liu Qingyu was bending over and using a shovel to scoop up a shovelful of sand and put it into a sack.
Pretending, Tian Laoshuan came to Liu Qingyu, grabbed Liu Qingyu's shovel and said, "Mayor Liu, please take a break. Leave this matter to us."
Seeing Tian Laoshuan and others coming over, Liu Qingyu knew that now Tian Laoshuan and others believed what he said. Regarding Tian Laoshuan's request, he shook his head lightly and said: "It's okay, I can do it, help me open the sack."
Well, it’s too inefficient to pretend alone.”
Hearing Liu Qingyu's words, Tian Laoshuan's eyes showed a touch of emotion. He walked over and picked up the sack, opened it, and then said to the others: "You guys immediately find tools to pack the sack."
Soon, everyone started working enthusiastically. Not long after, a large number of villagers from Malan Village came to the dam one after another and joined the team of dam reinforcement and protection. Various lights were also turned on, and the scene was lit up.
The figures are longing, and it is a busy scene. Liu Qingyu has always insisted on fighting on the front line and is always with the people. However, at this moment, Liu Qingyu’s face, neck, hands, and legs are already covered with mud and water.
, except for Tian Laoshuan, Tian Xiaoshuan and his son who have always been with Liu Qingyu, few people can recognize him.
That night, the rain became heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping at all. That night, the Municipal Meteorological Observatory issued an emergency rainstorm orange warning. The weather forecast said that Jinglin County would continue to rain tomorrow.
However, at this time, the water level on the Guanshan Reservoir dam was less than 20 centimeters away from the warning line, and the water level was still rising rapidly. At this moment, the dam was being reinforced and the villagers from various villages who were inspecting the dam were all
He began to worry. At this moment, Tian Laoshuan saw that the embankments near the village were being reinforced layer by layer, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that today, if it were not for the new mayor, I am afraid that tonight, Malan Village Lane would
Unfortunately, he was drowned by the flood, and now, since he arrived, the young mayor has been fighting on the front line for more than 5 hours without even a sip of water or a morsel of food.
Eat, but he still persists tirelessly. If Tian Laoshuan only admired Liu Qingyu at first, then he really admires Liu Qingyu now. After all, even a show requires perseverance and physical strength, and this young
The mayor has been able to stick to the front line after working for such a long time. This is no longer a matter of physical strength and perseverance, and he has already rested many times during this process. He and his son Tian Xiaoshuan took turns with Liu Qingyu
Only through cooperation can we keep up with Liu Qingyu's efficiency and progress.
"Mayor Liu, please take a rest. You haven't rested for more than five hours." Tian Laoshuan said to Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu waved his hands and grinned and said: "It's okay. I used to be a soldier. I have a strong body and can withstand it. It is estimated that the water level will rise tonight and I won't be able to rest. It's okay to be tired, as long as we people's lives
Only when my property is safe can I respect my conscience." After saying that, Liu Qingyu lowered his head and continued to work.
Tian Laoshuan's eyes turned red. Over the years, he had heard many officials, including county magistrates and mayors, say similar things, but in Tian Laoshuan's view, those officials' words were purely for show, and no one had really done anything for the villagers.
There are so many facts, but Liu Qingyu’s words are truly from the heart. He is using practical actions to explain his ideas!
It was already around 2 o'clock in the morning, and all the villagers on the dam were already a little exhausted after seven or eight hours of hard work.
At this time, Tian Laoshuan immediately organized all the villagers to rest in order to deal with possible crises in the middle of the night. At the same time, he said to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, everyone has rested. You should also rest for a while and drink some water."
Let’s order some dry food to replenish your strength.”
Liu Qingyu was indeed exhausted, and his stomach was already growling, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Putting down their tools, Liu Qingyu, Tian Laoshuan and others sat together and took out some mineral water, ham and other items that had been prepared from the car and distributed them to the villagers. Everyone sat around and ate in the rain.
During the meal, everyone realized that the young man fighting on the front line with everyone was actually the mayor, and this mayor had no airs at all, which made everyone involuntarily feel a sense of admiration for Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu's prestige was established invisibly. At this time, Tian Laoshuan was there to guide intentionally, and everyone regarded Liu Qingyu as their spiritual support and leader. This was all sincere.
Just halfway through the meal, I heard the person on duty shouting: "Oh no, there's a pipe surge here."
Hearing this exclamation, Liu Qingyu dropped the ham sausage and mineral water in his hands and ran over, followed by others.
Bags of sand and gravel were used under Liu Qingyu's personal leadership to surround the area where the pipe surged, and the danger was temporarily under control.
At this time, Liu Qingyu was too tired to stand up at all, and could only stand near the dam and direct everyone to continue the reinforcement.
At this moment, a wave suddenly swept over him. Liu Qingyu's foot slipped and he was suddenly swept into the rushing river.
When Tian Laoshuan saw it, he immediately became anxious and shouted loudly: "Mayor Liu has fallen into the river, please save him quickly."
However, facing the rapid river water, everyone was helpless.
At this moment, in the river, Liu Qingyu was exhausted physically and mentally, and his limbs were already sore and weak, so he could only struggle hard.
However, the river was so fast that Liu Qingyu, who had little strength left, struggled no matter how hard he struggled. His body was swept all the way down by the river.
Liu Qingyu's body was rising and falling, and he already felt a little suffocated. Although Tian Laoshuan and the villagers were helpless, they did not give up. They chased Liu Qingyu's figure along the dam while shouting: "
Mayor Liu, you must persist and never give up."
Liu Qingyu's consciousness began to blur, but he still persisted, constantly tapping his hands and feet downwards in order to generate some upward buoyancy and lift his head out of the water.
As time passed by, Liu Qingyu's physical strength was almost exhausted.
However, at this moment, a big tree that had been blown down by the strong wind suddenly appeared on the road where Liu Qingyu was going down. The entire trunk, branches and leaves of the big tree had fallen into the water, and only the roots of the tree were still disconnected from the earth.
Liu Qingyu hit the big tree head-on. At this moment, Tian Xiaoshuan, who had been chasing Liu Qingyu's figure, suddenly shouted: "Mayor Liu, grab the big tree, grab the big tree!"
At this moment, Liu Qingyu, who was almost unconscious, seemed to hear Tian Xiaoshuan's cry, and felt a strong desire to survive deep in his heart. In a daze, he hugged a thick tree branch with both hands.
The big tree shook a few times after being hit by him, but finally stabilized.
At this time, Tian Xiaoshuan immediately shouted and called on the villagers to work together to pull the big tree up.
With the help of everyone, Liu Qingyu quickly returned to normal.
Tian Laoshuan said: "Mayor Liu, shall we take you back to town first?"
Liu Qingyu waved his hand: "No, I'll be fine if I take a little rest. Don't watch me here anymore. Let's go inspect the dam. We are probably very busy tonight."
Liu Qingyu was right. This was a night full of crises, with piping surges and seepage occurring in many places. However, under the leadership of Liu Qingyu, everyone worked together and finally defended the dam.
It is already 6 o'clock in the morning. In the past, the sky has been bright at this time. However, today, the sky is still dark. The heavy rain still shows no sign of stopping, but the rain has become much lighter and the danger has temporarily stabilized.
.However, Liu Qingyu was extremely tired at this moment. This time, Liu Qingyu decided to take a good rest without being persuaded by others, because he knew that there would probably be a more difficult battle in the future. Maintaining physical strength was a must.
So, he leaned against the edge of the tent, drinking mineral water and eating ham sausage.
However, while eating, Liu Qingyu fell asleep. His left hand holding the mineral water bottle stopped moving from his mouth, while his right hand holding the ham sausage stopped in mid-air, and he fell asleep like this.
Next to them, Tian Xiaoshuan and other villagers saw this scene, and the corners of their eyes were all wet. Tian Xiaoshuan took out his mobile phone from the plastic bag and took a photo of Liu Qingyu.
At this time, Shi Zhenqiang, secretary of the town committee, took other town committee members for a symbolic inspection of the dam, encouraged the cadres and the masses, stayed for less than 20 minutes, and looked for several
A reporter took a lot of photos of the inspection in the rain and then left. From beginning to end, Shi Zhenqiang did not even see Liu Qingyu's face.
Liu Qingyu woke up automatically after sleeping for 3 hours. Then he and the villagers were busy until about 10 o'clock in the evening. All dangers were eliminated and the water level began to stabilize. By this time, the heavy rain had stopped.
, and the Municipal Meteorological Observatory also issued tomorrow's weather forecast, saying that it will be sunny in the entire Jinglin County tomorrow, and the rain will finally pass. However, Liu Qingyu and the villagers did not dare to leave the dam, because Liu Qingyu
Yu once told everyone that it is very likely that the rain will continue for another day or two. Although there are some doubts about Liu Qingyu's conclusion, the previous experience has made everyone full of trust in Liu Qingyu. So everyone still sticks to it.
On the dam.
After everyone's persuasion, Liu Qingyu was able to take a short rest again.
At around 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, all the villagers on duty screamed: "No, the water level of Guanshan River suddenly rose sharply. What on earth is going on?"
At this time, Tian Laoshuan's cell phone rang. He took out the cell phone that was covered in a plastic bag to prevent water ingress and immediately connected the call. After listening to the call, his face suddenly darkened and he cursed loudly: "I
Damn Jinglin County, these guys are so stupid!"
"Village chief, what happened?" asked a villager.
"Our Jinglin Reservoir, upstream of the Guanshan Reservoir, has decided to open the gates to release water because the pressure from the dam is too great. The county has already notified the villages along the coast to prepare for the evacuation of the villagers. They will open the gates in two hours
Let it go." Tian Laoshuan said with eyes full of anger. After saying that, Tian Laoshuan walked towards Liu Qingyu's tent and said as he walked: "We must tell Mayor Liu about this matter as soon as possible and ask him to make a decision.
"
Soon, Liu Qingyu was woken up. As soon as Tian Laoshuan told Liu Qingyu the news he had received, Liu Qingyu became anxious and immediately jumped up from the wooden bed, eyes blazing and said: "
What is going on in the county? How can it do this? When the water in Jinglin Reservoir drops, our Guanshan Reservoir will bear the brunt. Once the flood passes, our Guanshan Town will be finished. No, I have to call the county
."
After saying that, Liu Qingyu returned to the car, took out his mobile phone, dialed County Magistrate Xue Wenlong directly, and asked angrily: "County Magistrate Xue, I heard that Jinglin Reservoir will open the gate to release water? Is this
Is this true? County Magistrate Xue, do you know that once water is released from Jinglin Reservoir, Guanshan Reservoir will immediately be in danger of dam failure and dyke bursting."
