Excellent Village Chief

Chapter 117 The Flood Is Merciless

It was early in the morning in Shengli Village, before five o'clock, but at this moment it was completely messed up.Yesterday's heavy rain lasted for six hours, as if it had fallen from the sky.

After six hours of non-stop work, the farmland in Shengli Village was completely submerged in water, waist-deep in water!I don't know how much rain will fall in these six hours.Of course, this rain will never just fall under Shengli Village.

To the east of Shengli Village, there is a river called Qingliu River.This river is a natural river, but due to years of siltation, the river bed has become very high.And every summer, there is a lot of rain, so the embankment must be raised artificially.

How stable can artificially raised embankments be?

"Gazi, don't be dazed. Hurry up. It's too late. There are several parts of the embankment that have begun to seep water and cracks have appeared. Hurry up, all the men in the village have gone, and it should be too late."

After the uncle finished speaking, he resisted the shovel and left.

"Calm down, calm down, you must be calm!" Chen Ergu raised his hips, tightened his stomach, and took a deep breath.The mood finally stabilized a little.

The embankment of the Qingliu River is at least seven or eight meters high. It rained all day yesterday, and the water level is still unknown to what extent it will rise.If it breaks apart, what's the deal?Not to mention the farmland, it is estimated that even the villages will be completely flooded.

If the food is gone, it can be planted again, if the house is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the person is gone, what should we do?You can't say rebirth, can you?

Chen Erga shuddered, "Damn it, no, the villagers have to be moved first!" Erga hurriedly started the car and went straight to the village.Pressing on the accelerator, he drove all the way, and arrived at the village in 3 minutes.

Pick up the microphone!

The big horns in the village sounded.

"Fellow folks, the embankment is very dangerous now. All the elderly, children, and women in the village move to a safe place and run to the high ground. Quick!"

Chen Ergu said it three times.Then he rushed out of the village and drove home.Carrying a shovel, he was about to run towards the embankment.

Chen Shiwen grabbed Er Ga, "Ga Zi, what are you doing?"

"What are you going to do? What do you think I'm going to do?" Chen Ergu was in a hurry, and he couldn't speak in a hurry.

Chen Shiwen's face was very dark, "Guzi, you can't go!"

Gazi suffocated, "Dad, what are you talking about? What time is this? Why can't I go?"

"If you can't go, you can't go. Anyone in the village can go, but you can't go!"

"Chen Shiwen, you old bastard, what the hell do you want to do? If the embankment collapses now, the whole village will be gone. People may even die. Everyone else has gone, but if I don't, Chen Ergu, I'm still human ?" Chen Ergu was furious, and he spoke wildly just because of Chen Shiwen's identity.

"Crack!" Chen Shiwen slapped Erga's face fiercely, pulled his neck and said kindly, "I said you can't go if you can't go. Have you fucking forgotten your own situation? That fortune teller warned me For you, the five elements lack water, and life is in danger when encountering water. I can't let you go, I'm your father, can I fucking watch you in danger?"

Chen Ergu was taken aback for a moment, deeply moved in his heart.Erga pursed his lips, "Dad, I have to go even if I am in danger. I am a village cadre now, and now the villagers are in danger, and everyone is running to strengthen the dam regardless of their lives. Stay at home?"

"Dad, listen to me, although the old man Dongfang said he was in danger, but just being dangerous would definitely endanger his life?"

Chen Shiwen felt uncomfortable, but in fact he was also very embarrassed.If he doesn't let his son go today, then after this incident, the villagers will definitely gossip behind Chen Shiwen's back.And from a conscience point of view, Chen Shiwen also wanted Chen Ergu to do something for the villagers at this juncture.Although Gazi is gone, it may not be able to prevent the river embankment from collapsing.But power is gathered together, and the accumulation of less makes more. As long as the whole village is united, it can still have a great effect.

But he is also a father, and Chen Ergu is his flesh and blood, can he just watch his child jump into the sea?cannot!Everyone has selfishness.But this kind of father's selfishness to his son is great.Even if Chen Shiwen didn't let his son go to the embankment, it was justifiable.

"Guzi, I, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you. My eyelids have been twitching a lot these two days. I'm just worried that something bad will happen. It's not that I'm selfish, but I'm your old man. You are the only one in our Chen family. A single Miao Miao, what do you think I can do?" Chen Shiwen's eyes were already moist, and his old face was covered with tears.

Chen Ergu's heart ached when he saw it, and he really wanted to stay and be with Chen Shiwen.But Gazi knew that he couldn't stay, absolutely not.

"Dad, do you still remember how you educated me when I was a child? At that time, I dismissed your words, but now I don't think so. I think what you said is very reasonable. Whether it is a person or a thing, First of all, you must be worthy of your own conscience. I, Chen Ergu, am not a good bird, but I am not a bad person either. Now that the villagers are rushing to the river embankment, there may be danger at any time, but they ignore the danger and do it for the sake of the village. Anwei is desperately trying to survive on the river bank, while I, Chen Ergu, have to huddle here, you think my conscience can live with it!"

Chen Ergu patted Chen Shiwen on the shoulder, turned and left.Chen Shiwen was left alone in a daze.

It was very difficult for Chen Ergu to walk this section of the road, and he was afraid when he saw the whiteness everywhere.This panic comes from the depths of the soul.It rained all day yesterday, and the gravel road in the village was already flooded. If it weren't for the trees on both sides of the road, it would be impossible to see where the road is.

Chen Ergu was waist-deep in water, trying to rush to the embankment.Most of the men in the village are already on the embankment, and the embankment is full of people.Others were rushing up the embankment.

It took a full 10 minutes before Chen Ergu climbed up the embankment and looked into the river. Cold sweat broke out on his back and his body shook like chaff.If the scene before him did not endanger the safety of the village, it could be described as spectacular.The [-]-meter-wide river course is a vast expanse of whiteness, and the current is fast-moving. The water is too powerful.The water level has risen to the riverside.Standing on the embankment, bending down and reaching out, you can get the water in the river.

"Guzi, let's go. Then... it's going to die there soon!" said a man next to him, and then hurried over with a shovel and a big log on his shoulders.

Chen Ergu panicked inwardly. "Damn it, how could I be afraid. What the hell am I afraid of?" Gazi gritted his teeth and ran over there with the big brother.

Get closer to see what danger looks like.There were several cracks in this part of the embankment, not big, very small, at most a little thicker than a hemp rope, about a few meters long, and the cracks did not run through the entire embankment.If it penetrates, you have to run away quickly.

But such a big crack is the most terrible.Now the water level of the Qingliu River is too high, more than seven meters above the ground, and the water pressure is too high. The water pressure alone is enough to cause a fatal threat to the embankment.In addition, the speed of the water in the river is too fast, constantly impacting the embankment, and the embankment may be washed away at any time.

No one spoke, and the cooperation was very tacit. Those who took snakeskin bags for soil, nailed wooden stakes, and pulled straw ropes continued to reinforce the embankment.Fortunately, there are more than a dozen people here, and finally settled the danger here.

Suddenly someone shouted on the embankment.

"Quick, come here, this place is about to collapse, why the hell are you so frightened? Hurry up!" I don't know who is in the throat, but the situation is urgent.

Chen Ergu didn't dare to delay for a moment, he took the shovel and ran there.Look, it's over!

The crack was as wide as a thumb, and the other side of the embankment was already spraying water.Chen Ergu panicked, wondering if the embankment could be kept.

Zhu Dapeng and Lu Yuming are here too!The two of them were not as embarrassed as they used to be when they met each other, but they worked hard to fill the soil and pour piles like comrades in arms for many years!

No one will think about whether the embankment can be kept, and no one will think about whether there will be danger. What if the embankment collapses?These 20 people just desperately nailed the wooden stakes to the river embankment.Constantly fill the soil and ram the embankment.Chen Ergu resisted a huge wooden pillar, which was placed across the embankment.This wooden pillar is very thick and large.

Chi... A soft sound pulled the busy people back from their desperate state.Everyone woke up suddenly as if they had lost their souls.

No, I can't stand it any longer!Chen Ergu's face turned pale, and then suddenly roared.

"Run, run, everyone fucking run for me..."

Everyone kicked their feet and started running to both sides of the embankment.

When Chen Ergu saw it, his heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss. It was over, and no one could escape.I can clearly feel the river embankment under my feet shifting...
