The heavy rain was still falling, and God seemed to be going crazy. He kept pouring water on the world, with an attitude of not giving up until everything was flooded. Many residents who were in relatively good condition sat under the awning and sighed repeatedly. : “This is the first time I’ve seen such heavy rain in winter!”
"Yes! When the weather is hot, it rarely rains so heavily!"
Taihe is located in the northwest. In addition, in recent years, the environment has been severely damaged, the land has become desertified, and the rainfall has decreased year by year. Even in summer, there is rarely such a heavy rainfall. Therefore, this time, although it is not a once-in-a-century event, Yes, but it hasn't rained so heavily in at least several years.
Liang Jian glanced at the nearly 100 residents hiding under the awning. Some people's clothes were wet. It was not a big deal that all these people were stranded here. It is not as cold as it is in summer, and it will get even colder when it gets dark. Cold. If these people can't make proper arrangements as soon as possible, they will be frozen again later!
Thinking about it, Liang Jian called Shen Lianqing and asked him: "Is there any place nearby where these people can be accommodated?"
Shen Lianqing frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "There is a junior high school about one kilometer away from here. How about I contact the people at the junior high school and see if I can arrange for these people to go there first."
"There are nearly a hundred people here. Looking at the weather, none of these people will be able to come back here tonight. Is there such a big space to accommodate these people over there?" Liang Jian asked.
"It should be no problem." Shen Lianqing said: "There is an indoor basketball court over there. It might be a little cold at night. I will arrange for someone to send more quilts and supplies there later, so it shouldn't be a problem."
After hearing this, Liang Jian felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and said, "Then hurry up and make arrangements."
"Okay." Shen Lianqing said and was about to walk away to make a phone call. Liang Jian suddenly saw those people with soaked clothes huddled up and stomping their feet to keep warm. With a thought, he turned around and called Shen Lian who was about to walk away. Qing Qing said: "Where are the staff of the neighborhood committee here? Let them bring some hot ginger tea to warm them up first. Don't get sick from the cold!"
Shen Lianqing hurriedly went to find the people from the neighborhood committee. Liang Jian walked over to comfort some of the frightened residents. Before he could say a few words, he was surrounded by people. A group of embarrassed people rushed to be in Liang Jian's ear. Liang Jian was crying and complaining. Hearing this, Liang Jian felt a little dizzy and irritable, but facing these frightened people, it was obvious that irritability would not solve the problem, so he could only endure it and try to persuade them with good words.
Fortunately, Guang Yuyuan brought people over in time and rescued Liang Jian from the crowd. The two walked to a place with few people, and Liang Jian asked him: "Have all the residents inside been evacuated now?"
Guang Yuyuan shook his head: "There are still some who refuse to leave no matter how much I try to persuade them! What do you think these people think? Are those external things really more important than life?"
Liang Jian frowned, pursed his lips, remained silent for a while, and asked, "Approximately how many people have not yet evacuated?"
Guang Yuyuan replied: "According to the population data of the neighborhood committee, there are about thirty or forty people. However, this area has always had a large floating population, so the specific number will definitely be higher."
"Where are the people from Mingde?" Liang Jian looked around and didn't see Mingde, so he asked him. Guang Yuyuan replied: "He is inside, directing the residents to evacuate."
I glanced at the old houses not far away. Under the rain curtain, they looked like aging old people, hunched over, trembling, and ready to collapse at any time. There was already deep water in the narrow and low-lying alley.
This old house was built a long time ago. Although the drainage system inside has been modified later, it is still not ideal. When it rains heavily, the drainage system is completely paralyzed. In addition, there is a river behind it. When it rains heavily, the river surface
As the river rose, the river water poured in. Now the stench was not just along the river. More than half of the area of the old house was invaded by the stench. No matter how heavy the rain was, it could not wash away the suffocating smell.
Liang Jian stood in the park and could smell the suffocating stench whenever the wind blew.
Liang Jian glanced at the shivering residents on the other side under the awning, thought for a moment, and asked Guang Yuyuan: "What did the Meteorological Bureau say?"
"It is estimated that it will rain for two days." Guang Yuyuan's voice was heavy.
Two days of rain?! Liang Jian frowned and looked up at the dense rain curtain. If it rained like this, it wouldn't take two days, but one day. Not only would the east of the city sink, but Taihe City would also sink.
While Liang Jian was thinking about it, he asked Guang Yuyuan: "Where is the director of the Meteorological Bureau?"
"I don't know, I was here before." Guang Yuyuan answered after looking around and seeing no one.
"Call him. I have something to ask him." Liang Jian said.
Guang Yuyuan immediately found the phone number of the director of the Meteorological Bureau and dialed it. After the phone rang for a while, he said, "Secretary Liang has something to ask you," and then handed the phone to Liang Jian.
Liang Jian took it and asked: "When will the rain stop?"
The director of the Meteorological Bureau was currently in his bureau, holding a cup of hot tea. When the phone rang, a young woman was blowing his hair with a hair dryer. When he saw that the call was from Guang Yuyuan, he asked the young woman to pick up the phone first.
After grabbing the hair dryer and going out to close the door, he picked up the phone. After Guang Yuyuan finished speaking, he heard Liang Jian ask this question.
He curled his lips and replied: "How can I be so sure about this God's matter?"
When Liang Jian heard this, he immediately became angry and asked: "Since you are not sure, what do you want the Meteorological Bureau to do?"
The director of the Meteorological Bureau on the other end of the phone didn't care about Liang Jian's anger. He still looked lazy and replied: "The Meteorological Bureau can only make a rough prediction. If you want me to give a specific time, how can I say it?"
allow."
Liang Jian was very angry. But the situation was quite serious at this time, and Liang Jian didn't want to start a verbal war with this person, so he threw the phone to Guang Yuyuan and said to him: "Let him handle every next step."
Prepare a copy of the hourly rainfall and other data and bring it over. If you can't get it, let his seat be given to someone who has the ability!"
Guang Yuyuan glanced at Liang Jian and walked aside to communicate with the director who had an unusually arrogant attitude.
After a while, Guang Yuyuan came back and said to Liang Jian: "It will take about forty minutes from the Meteorological Bureau to send the data. Should we wait here, or should you go back first?"
Liang Jian looked at him and asked, "Where are you going back to?"
Guang Yuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What do you mean?"
Liang Jian looked at the rain curtain, thought for a moment, and said: "You arrange a few people to maintain order here. Xiao Shen has already gone to arrange a place. When the place is decided, a car will come to pick up these people. You and I first
Go inside to find Mingde. Anyway, we have to find a way to evacuate the people inside before dark. If it really rains for two days, it will be too dangerous for these people inside. We can't take risks!"
After hearing this, Guang Yuyuan said: "Okay. Please wait a moment, I will make arrangements first." As soon as Guang Yuyuan walked away, Shen Lianqing came over.
"Secretary, we have contacted the junior high school and they said there is no problem. The material problem has also been solved. Should we send these people there now?" Shen Lianqing asked.
Liang Jian nodded: "Thank you for your hard work and make sure to send all these people there safely. I will go inside with Comrade Yuyuan later. If you have any questions, just give me a call."
When Shen Lianqing heard that Liang Jian was going inside, he was a little anxious and said: "The inside is already flooded with water. I just heard a few residents saying that the sewer covers in several places inside have been pushed open. You It’s not safe to go in now.”
Liang Jian waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything further. Shen Lianqing was worried and had to go and tell Xiao Wu to pay more attention to Liang Jian's safety.
After Guang Yuyuan made arrangements, Liang Jian and his group of seven people set off. In addition to him and Guang Yuyuan, there were also Xiaowu, a young man from the general office, Chen Kai, a young man from the neighborhood committee, Xiao Zhou, and a doctor. A nurse.
The young man from the neighborhood committee is familiar with this area. With him around, they won't be able to wander around like flies and find no place. The water in the alley has accumulated above the ankles. Liang Jian wanted to drag his shoes, but the leather shoes got soaked in water. It was difficult to walk. Without thinking, the young man from the neighborhood committee reminded Liang Jian that there were a lot of glass shards and other sharp objects in the alley, so it was safer to wear shoes. Liang Jian had no choice but to drag the shoes, which weighed several kilograms, and waded through the water.
Mingde and the others are in the middle of this old house. Mingde is persuading the family of five to evacuate there. There are three generations in the family, and the head of the household is a man named Wang Qide. Wang Qide works outside and is not at home usually. His son The daughters are 17 and 18, and they have not returned from school today. There is only one woman and an old woman left at home. The old woman has limited legs and feet and uses a cane. Mingde has already persuaded them at their home. It has been nearly twenty minutes. Their house has four rooms in the front and back, and two floors were added to it in the early years. But when the building was built, they just added the top and did not reinforce the bottom. This used to be The old house has a mud-concrete structure, which is different from the cement and steel bars behind it. This addition itself has hidden dangers. Now, with this rain, the safety hazards on the downstairs floor are even greater. Mingde and the others When I arrived, I had already noticed that there were many cracks in the house, and problems might occur at any time. Therefore, I kept trying to persuade this family. The woman also noticed the problems in her own house, and she had also heard that someone had already done so. My house collapsed, but I didn’t object to evacuation. The problem lies with this old woman. She must have some mental problems. She refused to leave here no matter what. She said she was worried that her wife would not be able to find anyone when she came back, and she also said she was worried. If I leave, this house will be robbed by others, so no matter how much Mingde and the others try to persuade me, they refuse to leave.
When Liang Jian and others arrived, Mingde was discussing with the woman to see if they could force the old woman to evacuate. The woman was a little hesitant, worried that something might happen to the old woman.
