Liang reminded Shu Youde with one sentence, and he anxiously ordered: "Liu Neng, Liu Cai and the others went up the mountain with me to the reservoir. Shu Zhuang ran fast and had a loud voice. He hurried back to the village to inform everyone to move to the hillside. We did not cancel the alarm. The villagers are not allowed to go down the hillside..."

After a series of orders, everyone immediately became busy. Liang Yong and others were embarrassed to leave, so they decided to go up the mountain to the reservoir with Shu Youde for rescue.

The villagers had already brought hoes and shovels. Liang Yong, Lao Wu and others each carried one and headed for the mountain. They didn't even bother to take care of the car. Only Wang Sen was still lying on the ground crying and retching. Some villagers kindly greeted him a few times. , he ignored it.

Zhao Dabao walked over and kicked him and warned: "Hey, are you going to leave or not? The reservoir is about to burst and this place will be flooded."

"What, the dam of the reservoir is broken, oh my god, run quickly," Wang Sen jumped up suddenly as if he was electrocuted, yelled in horror, and ran around like a headless fly with his head in his hands. Finally he saw the roadside The off-road vehicle got in, started the car, and drove quickly towards the industrial park without turning around.

Even though he was frightened and crazy, he had already woken up by this time. His actions seemed chaotic but were purposeful. This way he could avoid the flood and also confuse Liang Yong and others.

Liang Yong saw his crazy look and did not stop him from grabbing the car. He shook his head and ignored Wang Sen. He took the tools and ropes and headed for the reservoir along the mountain road. Along the way, more than a dozen villagers joined in. Everyone looked eager. , the rain was still heavy and light at times, but no one cared that their clothes were soaked and they were busy on their way.

As we gradually approached the reservoir, we saw in the distance that there was only a trickling stream in the spillway. It was just some collected rainwater flowing. The flood from the reservoir was not discharged at all. The spillway must have been completely blocked by the newly built dirt road. Everyone was scolding angrily. Shu Genshan scolded him for selling trees to make money but not knowing how to reopen the floodway.

An hour later, they climbed up the mountain ridge and reached the reservoir dam. When everyone looked down, they were all speechless with fear.

The water surface of the reservoir has reached the top of the dam, and some low-lying areas have broken out into deeper and deeper ravines. When the older and experienced farmers saw it, they shook their heads and sighed and said: "It's over, there's no way to save it. The dam cannot be blocked by the flood." Stay, everyone should go back quickly and notify your family to evacuate,"

"The cement pipe under the spillway is completely blocked and no water can flow out. No wonder the water level has risen so fast," Shu Youde said angrily. The cement pipe is now several meters submerged in water, with a layer of leaves, grass roots and other debris floating on it. , I couldn’t see anyone tampering with it at all, I thought the cement pipe was too thin and was blocked by debris and stones.

Liang Yong was equally scared when he looked at the water in the reservoir, but he knew that as long as the reservoir burst and so much flood washed down, the villages on the backing below would be a mess, nothing would be left, and the villages near the river would be flooded for at least two days. This also ensures that the house is not destroyed by floods.

No, we have to fight no matter what. It is obviously unrealistic to temporarily raise the dam with more than a dozen people in front of us. The only way is to dig a spillway and let the water level drop.

Everyone looked scared and backed away. The raging water from the top of the mountain rushed into the reservoir and made a huge noise, and the ground was shaking.

"Don't leave, everyone. If you leave, there is no hope at all. We have to fight no matter what. It's still too late to dig the spillway. As long as the water level is lowered, the dam can be saved," Liang Yong stood up and shouted.

"Is this okay? At that time, Schugen Mountain hired an excavator to work here for a whole morning before filling in the spillway. Only a few of us could dig it out," a young man asked worriedly, his face turning pale under the wash of the rain. .

"How would you know if you haven't done it before? This is our home below. If the reservoir bursts, we will have nothing. Trust me, you don't need to dig a deep ditch. You just need to dig a hole in the dirt road blocking the spillway. By letting the flood pass through, large holes will be naturally washed out, and the spillway will eventually be opened," Shu Youde also stood up and shouted loudly to boost everyone's morale.

Everyone was still hesitating, but Liang Yong couldn't wait any longer. He tied a rope around his waist and said, "Do you want to do it or not? If you dare, come with me."

"I'll do it," Lao Wu stood up.

"I'll do it too. Anyway, there won't be anything when the water washes it off. It's better to fight now," Liu Neng rushed up.

More young people rushed up, Zhao Dabao stood up, Sophie and Yue Lingshan also stood up, but they were sent aside by Liang Yongli, who said with a bitter face: "My aunt, please don't cause trouble for me at this critical moment. As long as you stand here and wave the flag and shout, you are the greatest support for us, and you do not need to use brute force,"

"Look down on women," Yue Lingshan scolded angrily, but Sophie was reasonable and took the initiative to pull Yue Lingshan aside to persuade her. She knew that the working area for digging the spillway was only a dozen meters, and the current male labor force was enough. The two women went up It won't have much effect either.

Of course, everyone has no problem with Zhao Dabao joining. With her huge body and powerful arms stretched out, she is stronger than a man. This is where she comes into use. She can stand up to four people when lined up with Lao Wu. handle.

Everyone tied ropes around their waists and several people formed a chain. One end of the rope was tied to a big tree on the mountain ridge. They went down to the dirt road of the spillway and quickly excavated from the exit.

This section of dirt road is more than ten meters wide, and is now more than one meter above the water on average, with the highest point reaching two meters. Everyone stands in a row and is working on it at the same time. There are older people who are watching the water flow and reminding everyone to pay attention at any time.

The rain increased again, as if the sky had broken. The big raindrops hit people so hard that they could feel the pain. Everyone's body was already soaked. The raincoat affected their work efficiency, so they took it off.

My shirt clung to my body and felt uncomfortable, so I took it off.

If your shoes get stuck in the mud and can't be pulled out, don't want them.

He only had one thought, digging trenches, digging trenches quickly, not caring that it was early spring and the temperature was only ten degrees Celsius.

The dirt road is one meter away from the water. To dig a trench from below, you need to dig down at least 2 meters. From here, you need to dig down two meters. The width also needs to be two meters and at least 1.5 meters. Otherwise, there will be no way for people to stand underneath. The more you dig, the deeper it will be. Down below, it is more dangerous. People are stuck in deep ditches. If the water washes them down, their lives are in danger.

An hour and a half later, a gully one meter wide and two meters deep was dug, leaving only the one meter section closest to the water. There was no need for more than a dozen people to excavate at the same time. Shu Youde divided the team into three classes, with four people in each class. Standing on both sides and digging towards the middle, those who stopped tightly held on to the ropes around their waists.

When the last few shovels were pushed down, the water flowed through, and everyone cheered in unison with surprise.
