Perfect Feast

Chapter 23 Touched

The group of secretaries and directors who followed Sun Qingmei turned their necks in panic, all of them turned pale, and felt their hands and feet were cold.

"What are you panicking about? Hurry up and call County Magistrate Liu and the others to find out what's going on?" At this moment, Sun Qingmei's heart was beating wildly at that moment, but she knew that she couldn't panic now. It is the "head" of this group of people, the leader of this group of people. If you panic, this group of people will immediately become headless flies, and they will definitely be unable to do anything.

Standing behind her, Zheng Qiuxia smiled bitterly and said, "Shu Shu. Secretary, the phone is full of busy signals, and the wind outside is too strong, I'm afraid it's..."

"Wang Guangming? You should find a way to go to the village committee right away to see if you can still make calls from the landline in the village? If you can, contact County Mayor Lin. She is at the flood control headquarters..."

"Sun Shu. Ji, there is no signal on the mobile phone, and the phone line must be..." Looking at the fast-moving flood outside the door, Wang Guangming was frightened, thinking that I am going out at this time, am I looking for death?

Standing in the yard, the water has reached the thighs, and it is still rising at a speed that can be seen. Who knows what is going on outside?

"How do you know if you haven't tried it? If you don't go out now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance if you want to go out in a while." Sun Qingmei's face became quite ugly. Although the courtyard wall was not washed away, the water just reached her waist just now. It has already reached the lower abdomen, and the speed is really fast enough.

If you don't try to get in touch with the outside world now, who knows what will happen in a while?

But because the sky is completely dark now, Wang Guangming can't see what her face has changed at all, so she can't scare anyone at all just by her face.

Seeing Wang Guangming standing still, Sun Qingmei said sharply: "Go now, or I will withdraw you..." After she finished speaking, she took the first step to "go". It is said to be walking, but in fact, as long as I shake my body a little at this time, it is almost like swimming in the water.

The others didn't say anything, just followed silently behind. No one dared to take big steps anymore, in fact, he couldn't move his legs at this time, in short, he just had to be cautious and fearful.

At this time, the whole village seemed to come alive, completely turned over from the dead life just now. Adults make children cry, along with the mournful cries of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and pigs.

The relentless wind and rain are still watering the already overwhelmed earth. It seems that people are shouting everywhere in the twilight, and both the sky and the ground are all vast.

Visibility was so low that there was no light in the village, and it was unclear where the yelling people were.

With the support of two people, Sun Qingmei also drank several sips of water, and the broken tree that was blown by the wind scraped her body several times. I don’t know how the injury is. At first, my whole body hurts, but after walking a few steps, my whole body feels numb again. In the end, I only know how to pull out the cold, and I don’t feel anything else. up.

this moment. Thinking of what Liu Yang said when he called her three times, she was so regretful that she died. I obviously also had a premonition in my heart that things were not going well, and I originally wanted to arrange flood relief in advance. But why after he called himself, he...

Alas, I was still acting on my own will, just because he said this, I was blinded by anger, and took this kind of life-or-death matter to get angry with him.

It's too bad for me. Treating work like this is considered dereliction of duty... No, it's a crime!

Sun Qingmei's heart trembled even more when she thought of those people who were submerged in the flood. But at this moment, it's too late to think about anything, so I can only do my best to save one of them.

But now I don't care about my own life, and I can't even walk well, saying that saving people is basically comforting myself and encouraging myself. In fact, Sun Qingmei has been praying to God these days, God, please pity these common people...

Liu Yang's words, "I would rather overreact than waste people's money. But if we don't prepare in advance, it will hurt people's lives" echoed in Sun Qingmei's ears at this moment.

What did you say at the time? "Comrade Liu Yang, I think it's a bit too much?" Thinking of her own words, Sun Qingmei felt annoyed that she hated herself to death.

Had I known why I was angry with him? Wouldn't it be good to follow what he said? An hour in advance... No, even ten minutes, I might be able to rescue the people in this village.

Sun Qingmei licked the rainwater on her lips, feeling the bitter and astringent taste.

"There is no time to argue. If someone needs to stand up and take responsibility, then I will take the responsibility..."

"My elder sister Sun, the embankment of the East Lake is 36 kilometers long through our Huling County. Would such a small number of people stand out on the embankment? If there is nothing wrong now, I really want to drag the people of the whole county to the embankment. After all, the embankment of the lake is much higher than the five-story buildings in our county. In case something happens, it is the safest to stand on the embankment. How much is a human life? What do we do with this account? Calculate?"

That guy, why don't you insist on pulling everyone up to the ground? !

It seems that I got angry with him when he called me "big sister"? If you really do this, you will kill everyone in the county, and I can call you big brother from now on... While thinking about it, Sun Qingmei's beautiful eyes were filled with tears and sorrow, for the one who stood on the embankment commanding the The guy from Shagudi couldn't help but feel worried.

Judging from the direction of the flood just now, something must have happened on the embankment, and I don't know if it burst or... More than half of the cadres of the county government are on the embankment. If there is a flood, they will be drowned A group of county magistrates... What punishment do you want at this time, if the people in the whole county are fine, you can punish yourself no matter what.

However, if someone drowns, then he will die without redemption!

"Sun Shu. Ji, Sun Shu. Ji... At this time, we'd better find a safe place to stop, otherwise, if it is washed away by the water, it will be troublesome..."

"Yeah, now we can't even tell the difference between southeast and north, we can't go anymore..."

In the darkness, it was impossible to tell who was speaking. Maybe the person who spoke had drank a lot of water, and his voice had changed so that he couldn't tell who was who.

"Uncle, Auntie... help, please save my grandma..." At this moment, a little girl's cry suddenly came from a nearby house, which pierced Sun Qingmei's heart. Just stopped.

Sun Qingmei turned her body and shouted hissingly: "Quick, hurry up and find out who is calling for help? Hurry up and save people... We are all state cadres, even if we are drowned at this time, we can't leave the people behind..."

…………

After Liu Yang carried the sandbags up again, he saw Wang Chaojie hurriedly asking around: "Where is County Magistrate Liu? Did you see that? County Magistrate Liu..."

Liu Yangzheng felt back pain, and while walking, he stretched his hands behind his back and beat his waist. After hearing his voice, he straightened up with difficulty, and shouted to Wang Chaojie: "Major Wang, I'm here."

"County Liu, it's not good..." Wang Chaojie said nervously as he ran over: "Director Zhao found that the pipeline is increasing again, and the water column sprayed from the ground is one or two meters high..."

After Liu Yang heard this, he couldn't care less about his tired back pain, and hurried up the slope to the west of the embankment and looked into the ground. Sure enough, he saw a jet of water illuminated by the lamp, which looked so bright and gorgeous that it almost dazzled. It brightened Liu Yang's eyes.

Liu Yang's lips trembled, and he sat down on the wet ground with his buttocks. He touched his pockets, took out the completely wet pack of cigarettes, looked at them, and threw them on the ground. He asked with a wry smile, "Did he say that?" ? How can this situation continue?"

"Major Liu, what else do you think? The levee burst, and floods rushed like beasts... Huling County, I'm afraid we can't keep it." Wang Chaojie's voice was full of sadness. No matter how this person is usually, at this time, he still has ordinary people in his heart, because he is also an out-and-out Huling native, and the land under his feet is also his hometown.

At this moment, the embankment under Liu Yang's buttocks suddenly shook violently. Wang Chaojie's voice changed immediately: "Magistrate Liu..."

"It's not good, the embankment is about to be washed down, let's run..." In the darkness, someone shouted, and soon, a chaotic voice came, those who were carrying sandbags on the embankment People almost ran halfway.

It is an instinct for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages when they are in danger, and you can't blame him at all.

Liu Yang stared blankly at the gushing water column in front of him, and shook his head with a wry smile after a long time: "Mayor Wang, order everyone to withdraw."

When he said this, Liu Yang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"Retreat, come up quickly, retreat..." Wang Chaojie stood up and yelled loudly.

"Magistrate Liu... can't we leave? If we withdraw, what will happen to the Zhuangzi below?"

"Yeah, even if we die, we will die on the levee, and we will live and die with this levee..."

Hearing the enthusiastic voices, Liu Yang stood up slowly and said loudly: "Folks, I know how you feel, but even if we really jump, can we say that we can block the lake and prevent the embankment from being damaged?" Crash? If possible, I will be the first one to jump down. However, apart from losing a few more lives, it will not help the matter at all..."

"County magistrate, our home is under the embankment. If our home is gone, what will we eat even if we are alive? We can't give up until the last moment."

"That's right, County Magistrate Liu, we know that you are doing it for our own good, but we can't just take care of ourselves, don't we care about everyone in the family?"

"Brothers, move quickly, don't stop, work harder, the berm outside is almost finished, even if we still can't stand it by then, but we did our best..."

"Yes, move, we must persist until the end..."

The dense group of people didn't listen to Liu Yang's words at all, and once again lifted the sandbags and scrambled to transport them down the slope protection. Liu Yang shook his head, flicking away the two tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes just now, and also walked over and bent over to pick up a sandbag.
