Chapter 39 Never Give Up
"Xinkang County People's Broadcasting Station, Xinkang County People's Broadcasting Station, is now broadcasting the weather forecast. It is expected that the weather in the county will continue to rain from today to tomorrow, with moderate rainfall, and heavy rains and extremely heavy rains in some areas. The highest temperature during the day tomorrow..."
Lin Jinhong turned off the radio depressedly and stopped using the chopsticks in his hands. There was still half a bowl of instant noodles in the bowl, but he had no appetite at all. He stood up, took an umbrella, and left the room. The sky outside was getting dark.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, why don't you take a rest? You haven't had a good rest for two days. You go and have a rest first. I'll call you if something happens." The villagers of Shankou Village who were guarding the door saw Lin Jinhong coming out and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Lin Jinhong smiled and said, "It's okay. I can't sleep in bed anyway. Let's go take a look on the embankment first. It won't be too late to come back and rest. By the way, Li Da is on the embankment, right?"
"The village party secretary has been guarding the embankment."
"Okay, you go back and rest first. I'm afraid you'll have to take a shift later." After Lin Jinhong said that, he opened his umbrella, took the flashlight from the villager, and walked towards the embankment at the entrance of the village.
On the dike at the entrance of the village, the water level has already exceeded the warning line by 30 centimeters, and there was a leakage in this section of the dike in Shankou Village yesterday. Although it was blocked by the villagers in time, the situation in front of them has become increasingly tense. Some old and weak people
The villagers had moved to higher ground in the evening.
Even with an umbrella, Lin Jinhong was almost wet when he arrived on the embankment. The villagers on the embankment did not appear to be much panic, and occasionally there were a few jokes. Lin Jinhong felt a huge stone fall to the ground, as long as his heart was not in a state of confusion.
It is easy to say that this also reflects from the side that the ideological work of Li Da and others has been done well.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, why are you here again? There are all of us here. You can rest assured and rest."
"Yeah, look, your eyes are as red as rabbit eyes."
After several villagers saw Lin Jinhong, they gathered around and started talking to each other.
Lin Jinhong smiled and said, "Don't think that I look like a weak scholar. In fact, I am a practicing scholar. You can bear it, so I won't say anything." As he said this, he raised his right hand and shook it vigorously.
"Ah!" everyone shouted, "How many hands will Deputy Mayor Lin show to everyone?" They obviously didn't believe Lin Jinhong's words, and he didn't look like a powerful martial artist.
"Don't believe me. If you have the chance, show your skills to everyone. Now I will go to your village party secretary to ask about the situation."
"The village party secretary is on the east side of the embankment, discussing matters with the person in charge of the paper mill." One of the villagers said hurriedly.
Lin Jinhong thanked him and walked towards the east end. After walking a few steps, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him. Lin Jinhong pushed aside the crowd and saw that Li Da and the village chief were there, as well as the person in charge of the paper mill. "You guys."
what are you doing?"
"Deputy Mayor Lin, you came just in time. The rain is getting heavier and the water level keeps rising. Experts predict that if the rainfall does not stop within the next two days, the embankment will definitely not be protected. Judging from the current situation, it will stop raining in the next two days.
It's a fantasy. Now that there is still a chance, why not abandon the embankment and save the paper mill. As long as the paper mill and the reeds at the end of the village are saved, Shankou Village can be rebuilt quickly." The person in charge of the paper mill pulled Lin Jinhong and said loudly.
Lin Jinhong frowned and said excitedly: "But I have also asked relevant experts in the county. Even if the water level exceeds the embankment surface, it will not necessarily break. Do you know what it means to abandon the embankment? What does that mean?
Half of the villagers in Shankou Village have lost their homes, which means that the entire village of Shankou Village will have no harvest this year. Did you know! As long as there is even 10% hope, we will never give up on the embankment!" He shouted the last few words with all his heart, hoarse at the top of his lungs.
The roar shocked everyone present. As long as there is even 10% hope, we will never give up on the embankment! These words hovered over the embankment.
The person in charge of the paper mill looked ashen, threw down his umbrella, and left the embankment in the rain.
Lin Jinhong felt a little heavy. He inspected the embankment again with everyone, and his mood improved slightly when he saw all the enthusiastic villagers.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, your phone number!" Wang Xi, who was sitting in the village committee office, hurried over.
"Who's calling?"
"Secretary Ma!"
Lin Jinhong took the phone and walked aside, "Hey, Secretary Ma, I'm Lin Jinhong!"
"Jinhong, regarding the temporary embankment, the paper mill has just reported to me. If you really can't save the embankment, don't force it. You should think about it again."
Lin Jinhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Secretary Ma, I will consider it. I think the current focus of work is to protect the levee!"
"Oh, now that you have decided, go ahead and do it! I heard that you haven't had a good rest for two days. The body is the capital of the revolution. Work is important, but the body is equally important. Take some time to rest!"
"Yes! Okay, does Secretary Ma have any other instructions?"
"No more!" Ma Wei said and hung up the phone.
Lin Jinhong sighed and handed the phone to Wang Xi. He had been running around on the embankment and often got wet, so it was not convenient to carry the phone with him.
Suddenly a villager hurried to Lin Jinhong's side and said, "Deputy Mayor Lin, the leakage in the dam in front is even bigger than yesterday!"
Lin Jinhong was shocked and said hurriedly: "Let's go and have a look!"
When they arrived at the scene of the accident, a crowd of people had gathered around them, and several important village cadres had arrived. Lin Jinhong pulled Li Da and asked anxiously: "What's the situation now?"
Li Da wiped the rain off his face and said, "The situation is not clear yet. Judging from the situation, it should be the second situation."
"Organize personnel immediately to search for the location of the leak!"
"Already assigning personnel."
Lin Jinhong was extremely anxious and paced back and forth.
"Do you want to report the situation to Secretary Ma and Mayor Xiao?" Wang Xi reminded beside him.
Lin Jinhong shook his head, "Let's take a look at the situation first. It won't be too late to report after activating the emergency plan!"
The first group of people who went into the water to investigate tied their bodies with ropes around their waists, and the six of them went into the water together. Lin Jinhong watched the situation on the water nervously.
About two minutes later, the first group of villagers climbed up the embankment without finding a leak, and the second group of people jumped into the water. Suddenly someone emerged from the water and shouted: "No, Ergouzi is gone!"
"Gone?" Lin Jinhong was stunned, "Come with a few people who are good at water and follow me, Li Da will leave it to you!" After he said that, he jumped into the water, and three villagers with good water skills also jumped into the water to save people.
Lin Jinhong jumped into the water and his whole body was shaken. It was very cold in spring, and he still felt the chill when he entered the water. His eyes were pitch black and he could only touch with his hands. The current was a bit turbulent, which made it more difficult to save people.
