pinnacle of power

Tian Laoshuan walked over to pick up the sack that Liu Qingyu had just put down, his expression changed drastically.This sack of gravel weighs at least 1 catties, but so much has been piled up at the scene, it is obvious that Liu Qingyu has probably been working for a long time.Tian Laoshuan was really moved.People's 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, organize the villagers to prepare to evacuate their homes at any time, and on the other hand, organize the men in the village. Bring your own dry food, tools, sacks, and vehicles to patrol the dam on the reservoir dam. Now the water level has risen sharply. If you don’t strengthen it, I’m afraid it’s really going to be unbearable. In addition, send someone to Tianwangling to see Let's see how the tents are being set up as Mayor Liu said, and if the situation is critical, we must evacuate as soon as possible."

Meng Qingchao and Tian Laoshuan have been partners for a long time, and they cooperated very well, so they agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Tian Laoshuan called the chiefs of other nearby villages, told everyone about the situation of the Guanshan Reservoir, and asked everyone to quickly organize people to strengthen, protect and inspect the dam.

After finishing the phone call, Tian Laoshuan took people to the direction of Liu Qingyu. On the sandy beach on the other side of the dam, in the dark night, Liu Qingyu was bending over and using a shovel to shovel a shovel of sand into the sack. Pretend.Tian Laoshuan came in front of Liu Qingyu, grabbed Liu Qingyu's shovel and said, "Mayor Liu, take a break, leave this matter to us."

Seeing Tian Laoshuan and the others coming, Liu Qingyu knew that now Tian Laoshuan and others believed his words.Regarding Tian Laoshuan's request, he shook his head lightly and said: "It's okay, I can do it, help me open the sack, it's too inefficient to pretend to be alone."

Hearing Liu Qingyu's words, Tian Laoshuan's eyes showed a touch of emotion. He walked over and picked up the sack and opened it, and then said to the others: "You all find tools to pack the sack immediately."

Soon, everyone started working in full swing.Not long after, a large number of villagers from Malan Village came to the dam one after another and joined the dam reinforcement and protection team. Various lights were also turned on.And Liu Qingyu insisted on fighting on the front line from beginning to end, and was always with the common people. However, at this moment, Liu Qingyu's face, neck, hands, and legs were already covered with mud and water. Few of Tian Laoshuan, Tian Xiaoshuan and his son beside Yu could recognize him.

That night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping at all. And that night, the Municipal Meteorological Observatory urgently issued an orange rainstorm warning. The weather forecast said that the Jinglin County area will continue to rain tomorrow.

However, at this time, the water level on the Guanshan Reservoir dam was less than centimeters away from the warning line, and the water level was still rising rapidly.At this moment, the villagers who are strengthening the dam and inspecting the dam are all worried.At this moment, Tian Laoshuan was very moved when he saw that the dams along the road near the village were being reinforced layer by layer.He knows that today, if there is no new mayor, Malan Village may be submerged by floods tonight, and now, since he came, the young mayor has been fighting on the front line It's been more than 5 hours, and he didn't even drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food, but he still persisted tirelessly.If Tian Laoshuan only admired Liu Qingyu at the beginning, then now he really admires him a little bit.After all, even putting on a show requires perseverance and physical strength, and this young mayor has been able to persist in the front line after working for so long. This is no longer a matter of physical strength and perseverance. He had already rested many times, and he and his son Tian Xiaoshuan took turns to cooperate with Liu Qingyu in order to keep up with Liu Qingyu's efficiency progress.

"Mayor Liu, take a break, 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. My body is strong and I can withstand it. I guess the water level will rise tonight, so I can't rest. It's okay to be tired, as long as we ordinary people live Only when my property is safe can I be worthy of my conscience." After speaking, Liu Qingyu continued to lower his head and get busy.

Tian Laoshuan's eyes turned red.Over the years, he has heard many officials including the county magistrate and mayor say similar things, but in Tian Laoshuan's view, those officials' words are purely for show, no one has really done much for the villagers, and Liu Qingyu's These words are truly from the heart, and he is explaining his ideas with practical actions!

It was already around 2 o'clock in the morning, and all the villagers on the dam could not hold on after seven or eight hours of hard work.

At this time, Tian Laoshuan immediately organized all the villagers to rest in order to cope with the possible crisis in the middle of the night, and at the same time said to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, everyone has rested, and you should also rest for a while, drink some water and eat Let’s get some dry food to replenish our strength.”

Liu Qingyu was indeed exhausted, and his stomach was already growling, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Putting down the tools, Liu Qingyu, Tian Laoshuan and others sat together, took out some mineral water and ham sausages that had been prepared from the car and distributed them to the villagers, and everyone sat around and ate in the rain.During the meal, everyone knew that the young man who was fighting with everyone on the front line was actually the mayor, and this mayor didn't have any airs, which made everyone feel a little admiration for Liu Qingyu involuntarily.Liu Qingyu's prestige was established invisible.At this time, Tian Laoshuan was beside him deliberately guiding, and everyone regarded Liu Qingyu as their spiritual pillar and leader, and these were all from the bottom of their hearts.

Just halfway through the meal, I heard someone on duty shouting loudly: "It's not good, there's a plumbing here."

Hearing this exclamation, Liu Qingyu directly dropped the ham sausage and mineral water in his hands, and ran over, and the others also rushed over quickly.

Under Liu Qingyu's personal leadership, bags of sand and gravel surrounded the piping area, and the danger was temporarily brought under control.

At this time, Liu Qingyu was too tired to stand up, so he could only stand on the side near the dam and direct the people to continue the reinforcement.

At this moment, a wave suddenly swept over, Liu Qingyu's foot slipped, and he was suddenly sucked into the turbulent river.

When Tian Laoshuan saw it, he became impatient and shouted loudly: "Mayor Liu fell into the river, hurry up and save him."

However, in the face of the rushing river, 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 too fast, no matter how hard Liu Qingyu struggled, it was useless.His body was swept all the way down by the river.

Liu Qingyu's body was up and down, and he already felt a little suffocated.Although Tian Laoshuan and the villagers were at a loss, they did not give up. They chased Liu Qingyu along the dam, shouting loudly, "Mayor Liu, you must persevere and don't give up."

Liu Qingyu's mind had begun to blur, but he was still holding on, constantly flapping his hands and feet downwards 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 was blown down by the strong wind suddenly appeared on Liu Qingyu's descending road. 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 ground.

Liu Qingyu bumped into the big tree head-on.At this moment, Tian Xiaoshuan, who had been closely chasing Liu Qingyu's figure, suddenly shouted: "Mayor Liu, grab the big tree, grab the big tree!"

At this moment, Liu Qingyu, who had almost lost consciousness, seemed to have heard Tian Xiaoshuan's cry, and deep in his heart was a strong desire to survive. In a daze, he hugged a thick tree branch with both hands. .The big tree was shaken a few times by him, but finally stabilized.

At this time, Tian Xiaoshuan immediately shouted to 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 send you back to the town first?"

Liu Qingyu waved his hand: "No, I'll be fine after a little rest. Don't watch me here, let's go to inspect the dam. I guess we'll be busy tonight."

What Liu Qingyu said was right. It was a night full of crises, and piping and infiltration occurred in many places. However, under the leadership of Liu Qingyu, everyone worked together and finally defended the dam.

It was already 6 o'clock in the morning, and at this time in the past, the sky was already bright.Today, however, the sky is still pitch black.The heavy rain still shows no signs of stopping, but the rain has become much lighter, and the danger has temporarily stabilized.However, Liu Qingyu was extremely tired at the moment. This time, without the persuasion of others, Liu Qingyu decided to take a good rest, because he knew that there would be more difficult battles in the future.Maintaining strength is 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 held the mineral water bottle and stopped at his mouth, while the right hand holding the ham sausage stopped in mid-air, and he just fell asleep like this.

Beside, Tian Xiaoshuan and all the villagers saw this scene, the corners of their eyes were all moist, while 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 members of the town committee to inspect the dam symbolically, encouraged the cadres and the masses, stayed for less than a minute, and found a few The reporter took a lot of photos of the inspection in the rain, and then left.And from the beginning to the end, Shi Zhenqiang didn't even see Liu Qingyu's face.

Liu Qingyu woke up automatically after sleeping for 3 hours, and then he and the villagers kept busy until after 10 o'clock in the evening. All kinds of dangers were eliminated, and the water level began to stabilize. At this time, the rainstorm had stopped , and the Municipal Meteorological Observatory also released the weather forecast for tomorrow, saying that the entire county of Jinglin County will be sunny tomorrow, and it will finally be sunny after the rain.However, Liu Qingyu and the villagers did not dare to leave the dam, because Liu Qingyu once told everyone that it is very likely that the rain will last for another day or two. Although there are some doubts about Liu Qingyu's conclusion, but The previous experience made everyone trust Liu Qingyu.So everyone still sticks to the dam.

Under everyone's persuasion, Liu Qingyu could rest for a while again.

At around 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, all the villagers on duty screamed, "No, the water level of the Guanshan River suddenly rose sharply. What's going on?"

At this time, Tian Laoshuan's mobile phone rang, and he took out the mobile phone covered with a plastic bag to prevent water ingress and immediately connected the call. After he finished listening to the call, his face sank and he cursed loudly: "* ****Jinglin County, this group of things are too insignificant!"

"Village chief, what's the matter?" a villager asked.

"The Jinglin Reservoir in the upper reaches of our Guanshan Reservoir decided to open the gates to release water due to too much pressure on the dam. The county has already notified the villages along the coast to prepare for the evacuation of villagers. They will open the gates in two hours. Let the water go." Tian Laoshuan said with eyes full of anger.After finishing speaking, 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 up his mind."

Soon, Liu Qingyu was woken up.As soon as Tian Laoshuan told Liu Qingyu the news he had received, Liu Qingyu became anxious all of a sudden, jumped up from the wooden bed, and said with fire in his eyes: "What's going on in the county? How can you do this? What? When the water from Jinglin Reservoir comes down, our Guanshan Reservoir will be the first to bear the brunt. Once the flood is over, our Guanshan Town will be finished. No, I have to call the county."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingyu returned to the car, took out his mobile phone, directly dialed the number of the county magistrate Xue Wenlong, and asked angrily: "Major Xue, I heard that Jinglin Reservoir will open the gate to release water? Is it true? County Magistrate Xue, do you know that once the Jinglin Reservoir is released, the Guanshan Reservoir will immediately be in danger of dam failure and dike bursting."
