In the corner, the mud wall collapsed, covering an area of about one meter wide and two meters high. It was windy and rainy. Liang Jian was the first to rush in. The cold water was poured down from the top, and he actually had the guts to jump into the river naked in the winter. The feeling inside made Liang Jian want to shiver. He gritted his teeth and stood under the mud wall, pressing his body against the remaining one-meter-high crumbling wall. Shen Lianqing followed suit and followed suit. He followed him and pushed him up with his body. The people behind him immediately followed him. Some of the washed away mud bags had almost lost all the sand and mud, and some were still usable. Some people took the bags and returned to the fields next to them. They dug mud into bags, and some moved the mud bags that were still usable and stacked them. The current was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes when I plunged into it, but after putting these two bags of mud on top, I couldn't prevent it at all. If people are not pressed down, they will be washed down quickly. So Liang Jian, Shen Lianqing and a few other people were responsible for standing there against the mud wall and holding the mud bags to prevent them from being washed away. Not long after, Liang Jian felt that his body was a little stiff. Someone's light swept over here, and Liang Jian saw Shen Lianqing next to him, his face was frighteningly pale. He was startled and wanted to shout, but when he opened his mouth, the water filled his face. When he came in, he almost lost his breath. After coughing for a while, he finally regained his breath. At this time, several people rushed over and exchanged with Liang Jian and the others. Liang Jian did not insist and just brought them with him. Shen Lianqing and the others went down. Now is not the time to hold on. If they fall down, it will only make matters worse.
Liang Jian and the others went down, and without taking any time to rest, they moved their legs and feet a little to regain consciousness from their numb bodies, and immediately followed the others to pack bags and move soil.
After about twenty minutes, the gap was finally blocked. But as soon as it was blocked, the other side collapsed with a bang, and the flood spurted out from there again. A group of people hurriedly walked out again. Go and block that place. They walk or run. They carry a bag of soil on their shoulders. The wet soil is very heavy. One bag weighs about a hundred kilograms. Liang Jian doesn’t know where he got the strength to carry it. Wearing this one hundred pounds, he still felt like he was out of breath when walking. He knew that his body was actually very tired, but he also knew that he couldn't stop, so he just relied on his mind and kept persevering, and he was able to keep up. Like ordinary people who often do farm work, they carry hundreds of kilograms of things and walk quickly.
After all, Deng Dawei was older than him. He couldn't hold on any longer and his feet were a little unsteady. When he put down the bag, Deng Dawei gasped and walked back while shouting to Liang Jian: "This is not the case. Ah! If we keep filling in here and there, we won’t be able to hold on until tomorrow morning! We have to think of other ways!"
Liang Jian also thought of other ways, but in this dark night, luckily the fire truck had a flashlight, and the support staff who came later brought a lot of waterproof flashlights. Ordinary people also brought headlights, which was pretty good. Light it up. But the rain is so heavy and there is a vast ocean all around. What can I do with a few flashlights?
Liang Jian frowned, looking at these people who were running around desperately, especially the common people, who all volunteered to help them. If this wall cannot be saved, if something happens to these people... Liang Jian can't If he dares to think about it, even if the higher-ups do not hold him accountable, he will not be able to bear it in his own conscience. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, he feels that he has a responsibility to every Yongzhou people. This time about the flood in Changqing District, Yan Guoqiang and others A group of cadres in Changqing District are responsible, and Liang Jian himself is also responsible, which shows that he usually does not care enough about various districts and counties.
Liang Jian was thinking about it when suddenly, someone shouted: "No, this place is going to collapse again!"
Liang Jian was shocked. He turned around and shined a flashlight at the mud wall, only to find that it was not the mud wall that collapsed, but the mountain on one side. Because this road was to be built, the mountains on both sides had been excavated.
Several consecutive heavy rains have gradually loosened the mountain structure, leading to a series of mountain landslides.
In the hazy light, I could see a large black shadow, with a roaring sound, leaning towards the mud wall. Under the black shadow, there were seven or eight people standing under the gap, using their bodies as a wall to block the wall.
Catching the flood!
"Run! Get out of there! Get away!" Liang Jian almost subconsciously grabbed the flashlight and ran over there. The voice he shouted in his throat was sharp and scary, and it no longer sounded like him. The fear was there.
At this moment, it was like the hand of the god of death, tightly grasping Liang Jian's heart, and the sharp fingers dug into his ventricle, causing suffocation and pain.
For those standing by the mud wall, the sound of water and rain in their ears overshadowed Liang Jian's voice and the sound of the mountain collapse. The flood slapped their faces and they opened their eyes.
Without opening his eyes, he couldn't see the shadow of death falling above his head. No matter how fast Liang Jian's steps were, he couldn't move faster than the speed of free fall.
With a bang, the water splashed far away. The cars parked far away were covered with a lot of muddy water, but they were quickly washed away by the rain.
At that time, Liang Jian was already very close. As long as he was two or three meters away, he could reach those people. But the reality was that he was two or three meters away. A wave of flood rushed out and hit Liang Jian directly.
On his body, the body that was originally rushing forward staggered and fell to the ground. The flood that hit him was very painful, and falling to the ground was also painful, but Liang Jian couldn't feel it. He got up immediately and didn't stand up yet.
He got up and ran over there on his hands and knees, as if he was crazy.
Shen Lianqing chased and shouted from behind, trying to stop him, but he couldn't catch up.
"Danger, Secretary!"
As soon as the voice fell, Liang Jian had already thrown himself on the pile of smashed things, digging desperately with his hands as if he didn't want them anymore. At this time, Shen Lianqing also chased after him. He wanted to pull Liang Jian, but he couldn't pull him up.
After a pause, with red eyes, he squatted down, followed Liang Jian, and started digging with his hands.
The movement here had already alerted others. Someone rushed over with a shovel, crowbar, etc., and helped dig together. After a while, Liang Jian suddenly touched a foot! He shouted excitedly: "Here!
Here!" But God knows how scared he was at this moment!
No one dared to use tools to dig anymore, for fear of hurting people in the dark, so they all used their hands instead. Soon, the first person dug out. He was facing down, with his hands open, protecting the few people behind him.
, Liang Jian and the others quickly helped him out, carried him on his back, and carried him to the tent. Soon, the rest of the people were sent out. Fortunately, except for two people who were unconscious, the rest of the people
Both were only slightly injured. Of these two people, one was a firefighter and the other was a farmer. Liang Jian remembered him and had spoken to him before. He remembered that when he was on the mountain before, he was the first to stand up and say
He is the one who wants to come down with him to plug the gap.
The tears still couldn't be held back, they rolled out, and they were still there after wiping them away! While wiping his tears, Liang Jian tried hard not to lose his voice, and arranged for people to send the injured to the hospital immediately. Two of them were under protection The one on the innermost side only suffered some scratches, but they refused to leave, so Liang Jian had to have someone give him emergency treatment.
After waiting for the people to be sent away, Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing to call the director of the only hospital in Changqing Town, and then personally told him that he must do his best to treat these people. If the situation is serious and cannot be dealt with, no matter what method he thinks of, he must do it. Send them to the city hospital as quickly as possible. No matter what, Liang Jian hopes that these people can be safe.
After Liang Jian hung up the phone, Deng Dawei came over, glanced at Liang Jian, sighed, and said: "This is an emergency, not your fault, secretary. They will be fine!"
Liang Jian took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, tried to calm down, and then asked: "How is it on the other side of the mud wall?"
Deng Dawei replied: "The thing that collapsed just now blocked the gap. In fact, those people were very lucky. Among the things that collapsed, there was a big stone. When we came with it, it collapsed at the intersection. That rock is about the same size. If it hit them, even ten of them probably wouldn’t survive!"
Maybe we should be thankful, but all this could have been avoided, right? Liang Jian thought that if the situation in Qinglongtan could be reported earlier, he would have enough time to prepare, and there would be no need for such embarrassment. The haste has finally led to such consequences. Going a little further, if Qinglongtan had started to release floods from the beginning, then the situation like today would not have happened, and there would be no need for so many innocent people to be here for a certain number of people. People make mistakes and fight with their lives.
Liang Jian is angry, Liang Jian is angry, but it will no longer help to be angry and angry. Any punishment or compensation must be based on getting through tonight.
The mud wall is too dangerous. Although the gap has been temporarily blocked, there is still a risk that the other side will be washed away at any time, but Liang Jian no longer wants these people to risk their lives.
Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing: "What time is it now?"
Shen Lianqing replied: "It's just five minutes after ten o'clock."
There are still at least seven hours until dawn. Seven hours, for some people, is just a dream, but for Liang Jian and so many people here, it is a long nightmare.
Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing to take the phone, first found Qianjiang Liu's number, hesitated for a while, skipped it, then found Lang Peng's number and called it.
Listening to Lang Peng's voice, it was obvious that he was still asleep. Liang Jian got straight to the point: "I want you to do me a favor."
Lang Peng replied: "Secretary Liang, just say so."
Liang Jian said: "I want you to mobilize all the connections you can now to find me at least thirty firefighters or police officers. I am now here in Qinglongtan, Changqing District."
After Liang Jian finished speaking, Lang Peng asked: "Is the situation critical?"
"Yes. Several people have been injured and sent to the hospital. I need professional equipment and personnel. No matter what you think of, you must bring it to me. I can't stand it anymore!" Liang Jian said The answer made Lang Peng become serious. He replied almost without hesitation: "Okay, I will think of a solution now. Give me ten minutes."
Although Liang Jian is the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Lang Peng is just a deputy director of the Yongcheng District Public Security Bureau, it is his duty to obey orders from his superiors. However, the current situation was actually different from when Liang Jian called Lang Peng for the first time.
Peng should have known better, but he was still able to agree without hesitation, which made Liang Jian feel better.
