Tian Laozhuan walked over and carried the sack that Liu Qingyu had just put down, and his face changed greatly. This sack of sand and gravel weighs at least 120 catties, but there are so many piles on the site, it is obvious that Liu Qingyu may have been working for a long time. Tian Laozhuan was really moved. The human heart is full of flesh!

Tian Laozhuan directly took out his mobile phone, dialed the phone number of Meng Qingchao, the village party secretary, and said loudly: "Lao Meng, immediately use the loudspeaker to broadcast, on the one hand, organize the villagers to prepare to evacuate their homes at any time, and on the other hand, organize the village gentlemen to bring their own dry food, tools, sacks, The vehicle went to the reservoir dam to patrol the dam, now the water level is rising very much, if you don't reinforce, I'm afraid it really can't hold on, and then send someone to Tianwangling to see how the tent is set up by Mayor Liu, if the situation is critical, you must evacuate as soon as possible. ”

Meng Qingchao and Tian Lao have been partners for a long time, and they cooperate very tacitly, so they agreed without hesitation.

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

After making the call, Tian Lao led people to walk in the direction of Liu Qingyu, on the other side of the dam, on the sand and gravel beach, in the dark night, Liu Qingyu was bending down to shovel a shovel of sand and gravel and put it in the sack. Tian Laozhuan came to Liu Qingyu, grabbed Liu Qingyu's shovel and said, "Mayor Liu, you can rest, leave this matter to us." ”

Seeing Tian Laozhuan and them coming, Liu Qingyu said in a knowing way, now Tian Laozhuan and the others have believed their words. Regarding Tian Laozhuan'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 hint of emotion, he walked over directly and picked up the sack and opened it, and then said to the others: "You immediately find tools to put the sack." ”

Soon, everyone was in full swing. Soon after, a large number of villagers from Malan Village came to the dam one after another to join the team of dam reinforcement and protection, and all kinds of lights were turned on one after another. And Liu Qingyu has insisted on fighting on the front line from beginning to end, and has always been with the people, however, at this moment, Liu Qingyu's face, neck, hands, and legs are already full of muddy water, except for Tian Laoshui, Tian Xiaoshui, father and son, who have been with Liu Qingyu, few people can 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 issued an orange warning for heavy rain, and the weather forecast said that the Jinglin County area would continue to rain tomorrow.

However, at this time, the water level on the Guanshan Reservoir dam is less than 20 centimeters away from the warning line, and the water level is still rising rapidly. At this moment, the villagers in the various villages who were reinforcing and inspecting the dam began to worry. At this moment, Tian Laozhuan watched the embankments along the line near the village being reinforced layer by layer, and his heart was full of emotion. He knew that today, if there was no new mayor, I am afraid that tonight, Malan Village would be flooded if it is not good, and now, since he came, this young mayor has been on the front line for more than 5 hours, not even a sip of water or food, but he still persists tirelessly. If Tian Laozhuan only admired Liu Qingyu at the beginning, then now he really has some admiration. After all, even showmanship requires perseverance and physical strength, and this young mayor can still stick to the front line after working for so long, this is no longer a matter of physical strength and perseverance, and he has already rested many times in the process, and he and his son Tian Xiaozhuan take turns to cooperate with Liu Qingyu to catch up with Liu Qingyu's efficiency progress.

"Mayor Liu, take a break, you haven't rested for more than 5 hours. Tian Laozhuan said to Liu Qingyu.

Liu Qingyu waved his hand and grinned and said, "It's okay, I used to be a soldier, my body is tough, and I can resist." It is estimated that the water level will rise tonight, and I can't rest yet. It's nothing to be tired, as long as the lives and property of our people are safe, I can be worthy of my conscience. After speaking, Liu Qingyu continued to lower his head and get busy.

Tian Laoshuo's eyes were a little ruddy. Over the years, he has heard many officials, including county magistrates and mayors, say similar things, but in Tian Laoshuo's view, the words of those officials are purely for show, and no one has really done much practical things for the villagers, and Liu Qingyu's words are really from the bottom of his heart, he is explaining his concept with practical actions!

It was already around 2 a.m., and all the villagers on the dam were already a little overwhelmed after seven or eight hours of fighting.

At this time, Tian Laozhuan immediately organized all the villagers to rest, so as to deal with the possible crisis in the second half of the night, and said to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, everyone is resting, you can also rest for a while, drink some water and eat some dry food to replenish your strength." ”

Liu Qingyu was indeed tired, and his stomach was already screaming, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Putting down the tools, Liu Qingyu and Tian Laozhuan and others sat together, took out some mineral water and ham sausages and other items that had been prepared from the car and distributed them to the villagers, and everyone sat together and ate in the rain. At the time of eating, everyone realized that the young man who was fighting on the front line with everyone was actually the mayor of the town, and this mayor did not have a little arrogance, which made everyone involuntarily have a trace of admiration for Liu Qingyu. Liu Qingyu's prestige was established invisibly. At this time, Tian Laozhuan deliberately guided him, and everyone regarded Liu Qingyu as everyone's spiritual pillar and leader, all of which were sincere.

Just halfway through the meal, I heard a staff member on duty shouting: "Oh no, there is a pipe surge here." ”

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

Bags of sand and gravel were surrounded by Liu Qingyu's personal leadership, and the danger was temporarily controlled.

At this time, Liu Qingyu was so tired that he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only stand on the side close to the dam and command everyone to continue to reinforce.

At this time, a Lang head suddenly swept over, Liu Qingyu's feet slipped, and the person was suddenly swept into the turbulent river.

When Tian Laozhuan saw it, he immediately became anxious, and shouted loudly: "Mayor Liu has fallen into the river, hurry up and save people." ”

However, in the face of the turbulent river, everyone was helpless.

At this moment, in the river, Liu Qingyu was physically and mentally exhausted, and his limbs were already sore, so he could only struggle hard.

However, the river was too turbulent, and Liu Qingyu, who no longer had much strength, struggled to no avail. His body was swept down by the river.

Liu Qingyu's body was sinking and floating, and he already felt a little suffocated. Although Tian Laozhuan and the villagers were helpless, they did not give up, chasing Liu Qingyu's figure along the dam all the way, while shouting loudly: "Mayor Liu, you must persevere, don't give up." ”

Liu Qingyu's consciousness had begun to blur, but he was still holding on, constantly slapping his hands and feet against the body in order to generate some buoyancy towards the body and lift his head out of the water.

Time passed minute by minute, and Liu Qingyu's physical strength was almost exhausted.

However, at this time, a big tree that was blown down by the wind suddenly appeared on the road where Liu Qingyu was descending, and the entire trunk and branches of the big tree had fallen into the water, and only the roots of the tree were still connected to the earth.

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

At this moment, Liu Qingyu, who was almost unconscious, seemed to hear Tian Xiaoshuo's shout, and there was a strong desire to survive in his heart. The tree shook a few times by him, but finally stabilized.

At this time, Tian Xiaozhuan immediately shouted to the villagers to work together to pull the big tree up.

With the assistance of everyone, Liu Qingyu quickly returned to normal.

Tian Laozhuan said, "Mayor Liu, let's send you back to the town first, right?"

Liu Qingyu waved his hand: "No need, I'll have nothing to do if I take a little rest, don't watch me here, let's go and inspect the dam, I guess we'll be busy tonight." ”

Liu Qingyu is right, this is a night full of crises, pipe surges and infiltration occurred in many places, but under the leadership of Liu Qingyu, everyone worked together and finally held the dam.

It's already 6 o'clock in the morning, and at this time in the past, the sky has already brightened. Today, however, it was still dark. The heavy rain shows no signs of stopping, but the rain has subsided a lot, and the danger has stabilized for the time being. However, at this moment, Liu Qingyu was extremely tired, and this time, without the persuasion of others, Liu Qingyu decided to take a good rest, because he knew that there was likely to be a more difficult battle in the future. Maintaining physical strength is a must. So, he leaned on the edge of the tent and ate ham sausages while drinking mineral water.

However, while eating, Liu Qingyu fell asleep, his left hand held the mineral water bottle and stopped his mouth, and the right hand holding the ham sausage stopped in mid-air, and he fell asleep like this.

Next to him, Tian Xiaoshuan and the villagers saw this scene, and 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 party committee, took other members of the town party committee to symbolically inspect the dam, encouraged the cadres and the masses, stayed for less than 20 minutes, and found a few reporters to take a lot of photos of the inspection in the rain, and then left. And from beginning to 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 were busy until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, all kinds of dangers were eliminated, and the water level began to stabilize. However, Liu Qingyu and the villagers did not dare to leave the dam, because Liu Qingyu once told everyone that it was very likely that the rain would take another day or two. So everybody is still holding on to the dam.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Liu Qingyu could rest for a while again.

At about 1 o'clock in the second half of the night, the villagers on duty all screamed in shock: "It's not good, the water level of the Guanshan River has suddenly skyrocketed, what is going on?"

At this time, Tian Laozhuo's mobile phone rang, he took out the mobile phone with a plastic bag to prevent water ingress and immediately connected the phone, when he listened to the phone, his face sank suddenly, and he scolded loudly: "My ** mother's Jinglin County, these things are too not a thing!"

"Village chief, what's wrong?" one of the villagers asked.

"The Jinglin Reservoir upstream of the Guanshan Reservoir has decided to open the sluice gates to release water because the pressure of the dam is too high, and the county has notified the villages along the coast to prepare for the evacuation of the villagers, and they will open the sluice gates in two hours to release the water. Tian Laozhuan said with angry eyes. After speaking, Tian Laozhuan walked towards Liu Qingyu's tent, and said as he walked: "We must tell Mayor Liu as soon as possible about this matter and ask him to make an idea." ”

Soon, Liu Qingyu was woken up. As soon as Tian Laozhuan told Liu Qingyu about the news he had gotten, Liu Qingyu was immediately anxious, and immediately jumped up from the wooden bed, and said with fire in his eyes: "What is going on in the county? How can we do this? As soon as the water of this Jinglin Reservoir comes, our Guanshan Reservoir will bear the brunt, and as soon as the flood passes, our Guanshan Town will be finished." No, I'll have to call the county. ”

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