Chapter 38
After the thunder, the sky seemed to be suddenly torn open, and huge raindrops fell overwhelmingly.
The wind is coming, the rain is coming, the lightning and thunder are coming.
The world was like a plate of ignited firecrackers, ringing out in a chaotic manner.
Xiao Kuang shouted in panic: "Brother Xu, the sky is falling."
Xu Yishan comforted him and said: "Don't be afraid, the sky won't fall. Xiao Kuang, don't worry, I'm taller than you. Even if the sky falls, I will be crushed to death first."
Xiao Kuang said with a cry: "This weather is so scary. I have never seen such horrible weather in my life. Brother Xu, I have to run away."
"How dare you." Xu Yishan glared at him and said, "If you want to die, I will die with you."
Xiao Kuang calmed down and muttered: "I'm not married yet. If I die, I won't be reconciled."
Xu Yishan grinned and said, "Xiao Kuang, do you have a girlfriend?"
Xiao Kuang shook his head.
Xu Yishan said proudly: "I have one, not a girlfriend, but a wife."
Xiao Kuang laughed and said with envy: "I know who your wife is. Isn't she the most beautiful county beauty Chen Xiaoqi? In fact, we all know that, you don't know what they are talking about you behind your back, right?"
Xu Yishan asked curiously: "How did you discuss it?"
Xiao Kuang hesitated to speak, then suddenly laughed and said: "They say that Chen Xiaoqi's marriage to you is like a flower stuck in cow dung."
Xu Yishan said sarcastically: "These people are blind, am I cow dung? No matter how bad I am, I am just a pile of mud, how can I be dung?"
Xiao Kuang quickly explained: "Brother Xu, this is what they said, but I never said that. I think you are more than good enough for Chen Xiaoqi. She is beautiful, and the title of the most beautiful county flower is indeed well-deserved. But Brother Xu, you,
I feel that you are not an ordinary person. You have a sense of justice and give people a sense of security."
"Really?" Xu Yishan said in surprise: "Xiao Kuang, it turns out that my image in your mind is so tall. Are you lying to me?"
Xiao Kuang became anxious and pointed at the sky: "If I deceive you, the sky will strike with lightning."
Before he finished speaking, a thunderbolt fell in mid-air, shocking the ground and shaking the mountains.
Xiao Kuang's face instantly turned pale, and he muttered, "I'm telling the truth."
The wind and rain were so strong that no one could stand on the embankment. Xu Yishan and Xiao Kuang hid in a hut at the water pipe station.
Xiao Kuang looked at the rolling water in the river and said worriedly: "Brother Xu, do you think this water will overflow the embankment?"
Xu Yishan said nothing, he knew better than anyone else. If this rain continues for three hours, even if there is no underground water emerging, the Hong River will reach a super-historical water level.
From when Xiao Kuang told him that Honghe River was filled with black water, and when Dad Xu Barefoot warned him that the dam would burst if the reservoir was not repaired, there were various signs that Honghe River and Hongshan Town were about to usher in nirvana.
They looked alone at the raging wind and heavy rain, saying nothing.
Xu Yishan knew that even with his and Xiao Kuang's broken bones, they could not contend with this disaster. Facing the power of nature, human beings seemed so insignificant.
Xu Yishan has already classified this heavy rain as a disaster in his heart.
After seven years of field investigation, he had a clear understanding of the hydrogeological conditions in Maoshan County.
Professionally, Xu Yishan has unique insights. When he was in school, he was a student with both academic and moral excellence. The person he admired most at that time was Xu Xiake, and he dreamed of one day being able to travel to famous mountains like Xu Xiake.
Dachuan takes all the great rivers and mountains into his mind.
Maoshan County has landforms that are rare in the Jiangnan area.
There is no shortage of water in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, there is abundant rainfall every year. However, Maoshan County is different. The landform of Maoshan County can be described as three mountains, six waters, and one farmland. Mountains and rivers account for more than half of the entire Maoshan County.
Among them, Wuxiu Mountain is the highest mountain in the county and the only high mountain in Hengyue City.
It stands to reason that there is good water in high mountains. This is indeed the case. The water in Wuxiu Mountain has been tested by relevant departments and the water quality standard is comparable to mineral water and can be drank directly.
Maoshan County has positioned Wuxiu Reservoir as a strategic water source. When Maoshan County is short of water, Wuxiu Reservoir can play its role.
Because there are many mountains, it is difficult to build reservoirs. Therefore, in the 1950s, Maoshan County mobilized the entire county to build 18 large and small reservoirs throughout the county. 18 reservoirs derived 28 rivers, and the entire Maoshan County was considered
Surrounded by water network.
Water is the source of human life. But water can also cause human beings to suffer disasters.
In the wind and rain, a figure was walking with difficulty towards the water pipe station.
The strong wind blew the umbrella in her hand upside down. Her steps were difficult and her hair was messy. She pulled the umbrella in her hand hard and walked forward step by step.
Xiao Kuang had sharp eyes and quickly told Xu Yishan: "It's Director Bai, why is she here?"
Xu Yishan's heart skipped a beat, and without thinking too much, he rushed into the wind and rain and ran towards Bai Yu.
He took Bai Yu's hand and felt that her hand was cold to the bone. He put one hand around her shoulders, almost half hugging her, and then pushed Bai Yu into the small room of the water pipe station.
Her whole body was already soaked, and her clothes clung to her body, outlining her figure with distinct convex and concave shapes.
Her face was covered with rainwater, her hair was stuck to her forehead, and she looked very charming.
Perhaps her figure was so fascinating that neither Xu Yishan nor Xiao Kuang dared to look directly at her.
Bai Yu smiled and complained: "If you take one step slower, I will be blown into the river by the wind."
Xu Yishan chuckled and said: "How is it possible? With me and Xiao Kuang here, even if you fall into the river, we can save you."
Bai Yu looked into the river and said in panic: "I'm lying, you think you are just white stripes in the waves. This river is too scary."
Xu Yishan teased her and said, "Are you afraid that you still come?"
Bai Yu glared at him and said angrily: "If I don't come, who will? Mayor Xu, go back with me now."
"Where to go?"
"Go back to town." Bai Yu said with a faint smile: "Go back with me and admit your mistake in front of the secretary."
"Admit your mistake?" Xu Yishan was surprised and said, "I didn't make a mistake, why should I admit it?"
"Just listen to me and admit your mistake, and you won't lose a piece of meat." Bai Yu enlightened him: "Secretary Duan is very angry now. Think about it, he is angry, will you work together in the future? Besides, today
In such a situation, he still needs to come forward to take charge of the work."
"Director Bai means that if I don't admit my mistake, he will stop taking charge of the work?"
"People have to have face." Bai Yu sighed: "You really didn't give Secretary Duan face today."
"Is face given by people?" Xu Yishan snorted and said, "If he doesn't do something about it, he will definitely become a criminal in history. How can a big secretary still act like a child and insist on asking people to admit his mistakes before he can do anything?"
