Liang Jian and others ran over quickly. Shen Lianqing arrived first and tried to dissuade him, but to no avail. He tried to squeeze in but couldn't. When Feng Yu was helpless, Liang Jian pulled him. Liang Jian turned his head. Look, I found a loudspeaker hanging on the fire truck next to me. I took it over, put it to my mouth, and shouted: "Stop making noise!"
The sudden sound may have startled this group of excited people. For a moment, they all stopped talking, leaving only the sound of rain. They turned back to look at Liang Jian, and Shen Lianqing took the opportunity to push through the crowd and squeeze in. As soon as he arrived Inside, he found that the situation was a bit special. There were three injured people in the center. He turned around and shouted to Liang Jian and the others: "Secretary, someone is injured here."
When Liang Jian heard this, he immediately squeezed in. When he shined the flashlight, he saw that there were indeed wounded people. Liang Jian turned around and asked Hong Wei, who was silent, "What's going on?"
Hong Wei refused to speak. He was followed by a cadre beside him who answered Liang Jian's question: "Not long after you left, there was another collapse there, and three of them hit it with stones."
"Then why don't you send them to the hospital immediately? Why are you still making trouble here?" Liang Jian asked, staring at Hong Wei. Hong Wei spoke at this time, in a piqued tone: "I would like to, but you should look at them. They won't let us leave at all!" Hong Wei said while pointing his hand at the people around him. The people around him were silent at first, but they exploded again, and they started arguing with each other.
Liang Jian had a headache, but he vaguely heard something. After they calmed down again, Liang Jian looked at Hong Wei and asked, "Is what they said true?"
Hong Wei argued: "I didn't say I wouldn't send them to the hospital. I just told them to wait. The hospital has already sent a car and it will arrive soon."
"Nonsense! Did you tell us that before?" One person immediately retorted. Liang Jian glanced at Hong Wei, then turned to look at the speaker, who was the leading citizen who had spoken to Liang Jian before. Liang Jian said: "What did he say before? You will tell me later. The first thing now is to send these injured people to the hospital first." After that, he turned to ask Hong Wei: " When will the hospital car arrive?”
Hong Wei hesitated and answered hesitantly: "I'm not sure, maybe... it will take another hour."
Liang Jian didn't want to argue with him, why he said he would arrive soon but it turned into an hour. He looked at the leading citizen and said: "In this case, we won't wait for the ambulance. You help them get in the car." , take them to the hospital."
Upon hearing Liang Jian's words, their originally angry expressions calmed down, and they immediately helped the three wounded people sit in two cars respectively. One had injured his leg and could only lie half-ly in the back seat, and the other two A slightly better one.
After sending a driver to take them away, Liang Jian called Hong Wei aside and asked him: "Why didn't you send a car to take them to the hospital before?"
Hong Wei said: "Before, one car took away the injured policeman, and now two more cars have gone. Now there are only three cars and one fire truck left. In case of any emergency, we will do this How do you sit with so many people? How do you evacuate? I just asked them to wait a little longer. Their injuries were not serious, they were just fractures. If you wait a little longer, there will be no problem. It's better for you, as soon as you come So we sent a car to see them off! It takes several hours for this car to come and go! What if something happens in the meantime?"
Liang Jian did not interrupt and waited quietly for him to complain. When he stopped, Liang Jian asked him: "Are you done?" Hong Wei tilted his head and ignored him. Liang Jian smiled and said: "You think about it? Yes, it makes sense. But, have you ever thought about it, is it appropriate to let a wounded person wait in the rain for more than an hour in such a heavy rain? Besides, according to you, if something happens during this more than an hour, What's the situation? With a few wounded people and it's night again, we will always have a lot of inconvenience! Moreover, at this critical moment, the people already have opinions on the government. If you do this, their opinions will be even greater. What if another ** happens?"
Hong Wei remained silent and didn't look at Liang Jian. Liang Jian sighed, softened his tone and said, "Okay, since the people have been sent away, I won't say more. I came out because I have something to do. Let’s talk to everyone. Go and gather everyone here.”
Hong Wei could only summon people, but those who summoned were all government officials. The people were about to leave, and Hong Wei didn't call them. When Liang Jian saw it, he hurriedly asked Shen Lianqing to call them and wait for them to come. , Liang Jian said: "What happened just now was that we did not do it properly. Here, I apologize to you." After Liang Jian finished speaking, he bowed to them. When the common people saw Liang Jian like this, their expressions changed. Everything is getting better. The common man who took the lead said: "Secretary Liang, you are a nice person. Now that he has been sent to the hospital, we won't care about it."
Liang Jian answered: "Thank you! In addition, I have one more thing. I want to ask everyone for a favor. I don't know if it can be done?" The leading citizen hesitated for a moment, looked at the companions around him, and then replied: "You can tell me. , if you can help, of course it’s no problem.”
"Thank you!" Liang Jian said hurriedly, and then told him his plan to block the entrance of the valley. As soon as he said it, Hong Wei objected, saying: "This is too dangerous, and it depends on just a few of us without professional tools. There is no way to block the entrance of this valley! You must know that the water level in Qinglongtan is so high now. When the flood is discharged, the impact of the water flow will definitely be great. With a small number of us, we cannot stop it!"
Liang Jian glanced at Hong Wei and said: "I have contacted the district government and asked them to send people over. Moreover, Qinglongtan flood discharge will not open multiple gates at once, but will take its time. The most important thing is Yes, according to the current situation, this is the only way."
Some people asked: "Will all the land there and so on be lost?"
Liang Jian said: "This is only temporary. After the rain stops, we will immediately dredge the river to solve this problem and restore it to its original state."
"I don't know when the rain will stop. Those things in the ground have been soaked for several days, but they are useless!" someone said. As soon as he finished speaking, the leading people turned around and stared. He glanced at it and said: "If the Qinglong Pond really collapses, your life will not be saved. You are still thinking about the little thing in your field! Can this save your life?"
Being robbed by him, the person who spoke lowered his head and stopped talking. Liang Jian knew that many of the people present were probably thinking about the things on the ground in their homes. After all, they depended on them for survival. Who wouldn't feel sorry for them. Liang Jian thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry, the government will consider providing certain compensation for your losses..."
Before Liang Jian finished speaking, Hong Wei next to him pulled him and said softly: "This kind of thing is not something to be said casually. The flood situation is so serious this time. If this one pays, everyone will have to pay. The government
How can there be so much money!”
Liang Jian ignored him and continued: "Do you have any other questions?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Hong Wei looked at Liang Jian for a while with a look that said you were just waiting to regret it, and then turned away. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liang Jian said, "Then let's discuss it.
, how to block it."
How to block it is not a simple question. The place at the mouth of the valley happens to be an asphalt road. They don't have professional machines, so it is difficult to drive piles. After a group of people discussed it for more than ten minutes, they came up with a plan that they all thought was feasible.
Everyone went about their business. The common people began to run home to get sacks, snakeskin bags, shovels and other tools. Liang Jian asked two cadres to drive two cars to follow them to make it easier to move things.
The place where they live is not far from here. Not long after, a huge team arrived. Several tractors were added to the team, and many women also came with them. Liang Jian looked at it and asked hurriedly:
"Why is the woman here?"
The leader smiled and said: "Secretary Liang, don't underestimate these rural women. They may be better at this kind of physical work than a grown man like you!"
For Liang Jian, women and children, who have been educated since childhood, are the objects that should be protected in such critical moments. But the leader is right. When it comes to manual labor, Liang Jian may not be able to do these rural women.
Time was tight at this moment, so Liang Jian just let them go.
A group of people were dredging, filling bags, and the tractor was roaring, pulling back and forth. A group of people were so busy that soon, a wall as high as one person was built at the mouth of the valley.
While we were busy, people sent by the district government arrived. Many people came, and they also drove a military truck. I don’t know where they got it, and they brought a lot of things.
With the addition of this part, the work progressed a lot faster. Soon, the wall was nearly three meters high. Going up further would be more difficult without some professional tools and only relying on manual labor.
Liang Jian and others stopped temporarily. Deng Dawei stood next to Liang Jian, and the two of them looked at the wall together. The wall was about three meters high and about one meter thick. Deng Dawei asked Liang Jian: "Secretary, what do you think?
Can this wall stop me?"
The distance from Qinglongtan to the mouth of the valley is about two thousand meters, but this is the length of the road. The water does not flow along the road, so it is much shorter. During the flood discharge, the water rushes out from the gate. How powerful can it be when it rushes here? Liang
Jian didn't know clearly. He hesitated and replied: "I hope I can stop it!"
These words made both of them look worried. Hong Wei came over and asked, "The wall has been erected. I've taken people through this area, and everything that should be blocked has been blocked.
Isn’t it time to release the flood inside?”
Liang Jian raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already pitch black at the moment. Under the lights, raindrops were raining down on everyone, making people feel oppressive. Liang Jian thought, what should come will eventually come. If he waits any longer, he will just have to wait.
It would make the situation in Qinglongtan even more critical. He turned to Deng Dawei and said: "Call Station Master Li and let him start preparations!"
Deng Dawei took a deep look at Liang Jian, nodded and walked aside to make a phone call.
The flood discharge started thirty minutes later. During these thirty minutes, Liang Jian and the others had been waiting very painfully. When the rumbling sound of water came from the valley, Liang Jian felt a little relaxed. Was it a donkey or a donkey?
Ma, it’s finally about to be revealed.
When the first wave of water rushed to the mouth of the valley, it was about three minutes after hearing the sound of water. The water flow hit the wall with a loud bang, and Liang Jian and others felt the vibration while standing in the distance.
Before the shaking was over, a second wave of water hit. At this time, someone shouted: "No, that side collapsed!"
Liang Jian heard the sound and looked around. It was not the wall that collapsed, but a river not far from the mouth of the valley. When the flashlight was shined, white water spray spurted out nearly one meter high. Some people wanted to go over and block it again, so Liang Jian hurriedly shouted
: "Don't go there! It's dangerous!"
When the people heard the sound, they were not stubborn and stopped immediately. At this time, there was a slight squeaking sound in the dark night.
