The sound of the banging on the ground became louder and louder. I swept the flashlight light here and there, but could not find the source of the sound. In the wind and rain, someone asked: "Is there a leak somewhere?"
The words woke up the dreamer. Everyone's light was instantly focused on the wall. Soon, the light was concentrated on one place. A stream of water was squeezed out from the gap of a mud bag. The location was not high because now the valley
There isn't much water inside yet, but it's still increasing.
Behind the wall, the water kept banging against the wall. The sound was like the sound of the tide lapping against the riverbank in the Songtang River in Ningzhou.
A firefighter went forward to check the area where the water was leaking, and then came back and reported: "There is no problem, don't worry about it." Liang Jian was relieved.
Looking at the people around him, including the police officers, firefighters and government colleagues who followed Liang Jian, as well as the ordinary people who spontaneously came to help, Liang Jian finally relaxed a little. After feeling a little relaxed, his fatigue disappeared.
He came up. Liang Jian shook his hand that was numb from the water and said: "Since the situation is relatively stable now, the lesbians should go back and rest first. As for the other people, just hold on a little longer."
Everyone agreed, and after seeing off the lesbians, Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing and Deng Dawei to arrange the people currently present in shifts, and take turns inspecting the wall and other nearby situations. As for the others, they all went to the tent temporarily.
Before that, the people from the area who came for reinforcements brought two large military tents, which solved a problem.
Deng Dawei arranged for Liang Jian and several other government cadres, as well as the common people, to be the first to rest. Liang Jian was not polite to him. After worrying about it for a day, he was really exhausted. When he entered the tent, there was nothing inside.
I just took some snakeskin bags filled with mud and piled them on the ground in two layers, so that I wouldn't have to soak them in the water all the time. There were some tools piled on top of the snakeskin bags. Shen Lianqing didn't know where to find them.
He bought a few simple folding chairs, pulled them open, and asked Liang Jian to sit down. There were many ordinary people next to him, as well as a few older people. They must be in their fifties. How could Liang Jian have the nerve to sit down? Shen Lianqing asked Shen Lianqing to sit down.
Take it to the older people. Unexpectedly, those people grinned and said, "Secretary Liang, just take a seat. You city people are no match for us country people. We can persist in this situation. You
Not necessarily!"
After they said this, Liang Jian didn't shirk anymore. He just pulled up a chair, sat on it, leaned back, and fell asleep within two minutes. The sound of rain and voices gradually seemed to disappear.
.
However, it seemed that as soon as he closed his eyes, he was woken up. The person who called him was Shen Lianqing. Liang Jian opened his sore eyes with difficulty, rubbed them, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Lianqing said: "Stationmaster Li's call. Director Deng said to let you answer it." Liang Jian turned his head, and Deng Dawei was standing beside him with a solemn expression. Liang Jian's heart trembled, and he suddenly stopped falling asleep. He took it.
He immediately put the phone to his ear and asked: "I'm Liang Jian, Station Manager Li, what's wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, Stationmaster Li's voice was filled with anxiety: "Secretary Liang, the gate here can no longer hold up. I have to open two more gates to release the flood."
When Liang Jianchu heard this, he thought it was nothing. Just as he was about to say yes, something suddenly occurred to his heart. He asked stationmaster Li: "With four gates, what is the water flow rate?"
Stationmaster Li reported a number, and Liang Jian calculated it in his mind, but this was not his strong point. He called Deng Dawei, walked to the corner, and told him: "Stationmaster Li said that he would open two more
Do you think our wall can hold up to the flood discharge at the gate?" After that, he told him the flow rate that stationmaster Li had told him.
Deng Dawei thought for a long time and said two words: "Danger!"
Liang Jian's heart suddenly tightened. Liang Jian thought for a while and asked stationmaster Li: "How long can those two gates last?" Stationmaster Li replied: "A conservative estimate, about forty minutes. Now inside the dam
, water has begun to seep in several places. The amount of water is not large, but it shows that the internal structure has begun to loosen. If the pressure cannot be relieved quickly, problems may occur."
"Okay, I understand, give me thirty minutes. We will contact you again in thirty minutes." After Liang Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He looked at Deng Dawei and said, "We must find a way to reinforce it."
.”
Deng Dawei frowned and replied: "Our conditions are insufficient, and it is an asphalt road. Even if wooden piles can be driven on both sides, there is no way to drive piles on this five-meter-wide asphalt road!"
Liang Jian frowned tightly. It is true that piles cannot be driven on asphalt roads, but do we just give up just because piles cannot be driven? The four gates release floods at the same time. The impact of this water flow can reach half the valley.
Buffer, but this wall may also be unable to block it. If it cannot be blocked, all the water in this valley will rush out, and the loss will be immeasurable. Moreover, once this place is lost, there will be no place to defend it.
Even if the Qinglongtan Dam is saved by then, this loss...
Liang Jian didn't think about it anymore. He told himself that he must find a way. He walked out without even wearing a raincoat and walked directly into the rain. Shen Lianqing quickly followed him, took the raincoat and put it on him. "
Secretary, where are you going?" Shen Lianqing asked.
Liang Jian replied: "I'm going to take a look around, you don't have to follow me."
"I'd better stay with you. It's raining so heavily and it's so dark, so it's not safe." Shen Lianqing said. After hearing this, Liang Jian let him follow.
The two walked down the asphalt road and walked to a field nearby. The water in the field was already up to their knees. After walking about a short distance, Shen Lianqing grabbed him and said, "Further on, there is a river."
Liang Jian scanned with his flashlight, but could see nothing except a piece of water. Liang Jian said: "Let's walk to the mountain." The two of them walked to the mountain together. When they got closer, they started walking in the field.
It was not smooth, and he could always kick something. Suddenly, Liang Jian mentioned something again, which was very hard, a big stone. Liang Jian bent down to touch his painful leg, and suddenly something flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help shouting out.
: "I have an idea!"
Shen Lianqing hurriedly asked: "What can I do?"
Liang Jian said: "Are there many such big rocks around here?"
Shen Lianqing thought for a while and said: "I have seen some, but the water here is so deep now, there is no way to find it!" This is also a problem. But at this moment, there is no other way. Their conditions are difficult and they can only find it.
He could use local materials. He immediately returned to the road, called Deng Dawei, and told him his idea. Deng Dawei hesitated for a moment and said, "You can try it. But this wall is so high, it's not just a few stones."
You can withstand it!"
"If you can't bear it with a few dollars, just dozens of dollars! If you can't stand it with dozens of dollars, just hundreds of dollars!" Liang Jian said. Deng Dawei sighed and said: "That's all we can do. Then let's start construction!" "
Liang Jian nodded and immediately, together with Deng Dawei, called everyone together. After briefly explaining the situation, everyone had no complaints and immediately started to move.
Just like Shen Lianqing said, the water around here is very deep. Finding and moving stones is not easy. Fortunately, there are still a lot of people. Together, there are nearly 70 or 80 people. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Twenty minutes later, they actually found a lot of big rocks and built them behind the mud wall one by one. At first, they wanted to build another wall, but Liang Jian stopped them. In twenty minutes, it was not an easy task to build a stone wall seven to eight meters wide and three meters high. It took a lot of time to find and move the stones. He asked them to put the stones like a pile of sand. Start stacking from the middle and support the main stress-bearing surface first.
When the stones were piled about two meters high, Shen Lianqing's phone rang and he handed it to Liang Jian. Liang Jian picked up the phone and Stationmaster Li's voice came over: "Secretary Liang, I'm going to open the gate!"
Liang Jian took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian immediately asked everyone to retreat to the mountains on both sides. If it couldn't be blocked here, it would be better to be in a higher place.
Liang Jianze and Deng Dawei, accompanied by two firefighters, climbed up the three-meter-high wall. Behind the wall, the water was already about one meter deep.
The rumbling sound suddenly became louder. Liang Jian knew that it was the other two gates that had also opened. Deng Dawei looked at Liang Jian and said, "Let's go up the mountain too. As long as we withstand the previous few impacts, we can basically It’ll be fine.”
Liang Jian sighed and said, "Just leave it to fate! We tried our best!"
After saying that, the four people climbed down the mud wall, climbed and dragged them up the mountain, and met up with the other people.
The sound of the water flowing over was like the sound of the ocean tide coming over. It was so loud that Liang Jian's heart rose to his throat as the sound got closer.
Until there was a loud bang in his ears, his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest, but he suppressed it anyway, and someone screamed: "Block it! Block it!"
Liang Jian felt relieved immediately, but before his heart fell to the ground, there was another loud bang, and Liang Jian felt that the mountains under his feet were shaking. Is this the power of nature? Liang Jian thought.
Before this thought dissipated in his mind, someone shouted again: "Oh no, something has collapsed!"
Liang Jian's heart suddenly jumped up again. Deng Dawei was standing next to him. Liang Jian turned to look at him. He was just as nervous as him.
Liang Jian couldn't help but squeezed next to the person who was shouting, and asked: "Where did it collapse?" The man's hand flicked, and the light of the flashlight fell on a place, which was a place on the opposite side of the mountain, where a gap collapsed. , but the gap is not very big. If we go in and plug it now, it should be able to be plugged.
Liang Jian hesitated whether to go down and block it. The flood water was still beating against the mud wall, and there was not much time for Liang Jian to hesitate.
Liang Jian gritted his heart, gritted his teeth, and thought, give it a go. He turned around and shouted to everyone: "There is a place that has collapsed now. The gap is not big, but if we don't care about it, it will probably get bigger and bigger, and it will eventually become unstoppable." Come on. Who is willing to go down with me and plug this gap?"
The first ones to stand up were the firefighters, and then the police officers. Suddenly, one of the civilians shouted: "Damn it, why are you being cowardly! Even secretaries dare to go down, how can you big men still do it?"
Not as good as a scholar!"
Although this sentence meant to belittle Liang Jian, it sounded very cordial at the moment. For a moment, all the people shouted.
Liang Jian smiled. It seemed that everything was reliable at the critical moment. He took the lead and walked down first. As soon as he walked down, Deng Dawei looked at the side, leaned into Liang Jian's ear, and said: "Hong
Wei didn't come down, and two comrades who came with the city government didn't come down either."
Liang Jian didn't say anything. Fear is something everyone has, but some people choose to overcome it, and some people choose to escape. But from a human perspective, Liang Jian doesn't want to blame Hong Wei and those two comrades. They cherish
