Chapter 40 Emergency Repair
The water flow was fast and the opportunity was fleeting. Lin Jinhong did not hesitate at all, turned around and touched the thing that his feet touched. After groping for a while, there was no result. At this time, the tightness in his chest was already severe, and he was in urgent need of ventilation. Five
Seconds, hold it for another five seconds. If you still haven’t found it, immediately surface for air. Lin Jinhong set a goal for himself and moved forward with his hands again...
Lin Jinhong counted the numbers silently in his mind. He had already counted to four. He felt a little disappointed and was about to surface for air. Suddenly he caught something in his hand. Hey, it was a foot! He pulled it and there was no response. Lin Jinhong's heart skipped a beat.
For a moment, without daring to neglect, he held the foot tightly with his right hand and floated towards the water.
After getting out of the water, he took a deep breath. He dragged the unconscious Ergouzi, and with the help of other villagers, he climbed up the embankment with difficulty. He said out of breath: "Quick, give him first aid."
!”
"Found it, finally found it, we have found the loophole!" Suddenly a villager emerged from the water and shouted loudly.
Lin Jinhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. He quickly got up and staggered forward a few steps, "Quickly...quickly mark the position and follow the second method to fill the loophole!"
"Deputy Mayor Lin, Ergouzi has woken up and has been sent back to the village to rest." A village cadre came over and said, "The cause of the accident was that the rope was not tied when entering the water!"
"Oh!" Lin Jinhong said in a deep voice, "Next time the villagers will check it before they go into the water to make sure that everything is safe."
After finding the location of the leak, the following things were easy to do. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the leak was finally successfully repaired. While Lin Jinhong was chatting and laughing with everyone, he found that the rain seemed to have become much lighter. It was pouring just now, but now it was floating in fine streaks.
rain.
"Deputy Mayor Lin, do you think God has opened his eyes?" A villager put his arm around Lin Jinhong's shoulders and joked.
Lin Jinhong laughed, "I think everyone's enthusiasm moved God. Since the old man suddenly showed kindness, everyone is tired. Those who haven't slept should go back to sleep!"
"Let's go, the supper has been prepared. Let's go and eat something. Then those who should sleep will go to bed, and those who should be on duty will be on duty!" Two peasant women came out of the village and greeted everyone, "Deputy Mayor Lin, you have been here for two or three days.
I didn’t have a good meal, but now that the rain has eased a lot, I can eat with peace of mind, and then go have a peaceful sleep!”
At this time, Lin Jinhong did feel a little hungry. He wiped his wet hair and smiled loudly: "Okay, let's eat two or three bowls later."
The supper was several large pots of stir-fried vermicelli with cabbage. Before the supper, everyone drank a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold. After supper, Lin Jinhong went back to the village committee building to change into dry clothes, and then went back to patrol the embankment for a week.
After returning to the village from the embankment, it didn't rain anymore. Lin Jinhong gradually gained some hope. The weather forecast was sometimes inaccurate. This was not surprising.
Lin Jinhong, who was a little relieved, fell asleep as soon as he returned to the temporary accommodation and lay down on the bed. In his sleep, Lin Jinhong felt someone calling him in his ear. He tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be heavy.
As if. After a while, the cry sounded again, this time it was much clearer. Lin Jinhong quickly turned over and opened his eyes. His vision was a little unclear. Wang Xi and Li Da were standing beside him.
He looked at himself eagerly. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's okay for now." Li Da smiled reluctantly, "Deputy Mayor Lin, I just called you for a long time and you didn't respond. I thought you were sick."
Lin Jinhong felt that his head was a little heavy. Then he heard the sound of water rushing outside and asked hurriedly: "Is it raining again?"
Li Da and Wang Xi nodded at the same time. Wang Xi said bitterly: "The rain stopped for three or four hours last night, and drizzle started again in the early morning. Now it is getting heavier and heavier."
Lin Jinhong complained endlessly when he heard this, and secretly cursed God a few times in his heart, feeling that his head was getting heavier and heavier. He shook his head vigorously, just got up, and sat back on the bed. Damn it, I haven't caught a cold in more than ten years, but why?
Cold at this time. He shook his head again and reluctantly stood up.
Seeing this, Wang Xi hurriedly asked: "Deputy Mayor Lin, are you okay? Are you really sick?" As he spoke, he reached out to support Lin Jinhong.
Lin Jinhong smiled bitterly, "It's okay, just sweat a little. Do you have any boiling water? Pour some for me!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Da hurriedly went out to pour boiling water. Wang Xi supported Lin Jinhong and returned to the bed to sit down.
"Is there any problem with the dam?" Lin Jinhong took a breath and braced himself and asked.
Wang Xi shook his head, "Since the leak last night, there have been no other problems, and the water level continues to rise. I reported the water level situation to Secretary Ma in the morning. It is said that there are no problems in other villages, but the situation here is the most serious.
Secretary Ma asked us to do a good job and the county leaders will be here at noon."
"Here comes the boiling water. Here are two pills of Quartzine. Deputy Mayor Lin takes it and rests for a while. He should be fine soon." Li Da hurried in, carrying a pot of boiling water and two pills, and said to Lin Jinhong.
After Lin Jinhong took the medicine and drank it, he drank a bowl of boiling water and seemed to feel much more relaxed. "Okay, let's go to the embankment and have a look!"
"Deputy Mayor Lin, as long as we are on the embankment, you can just rest peacefully." Li and the other two hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Lin Jinhong laughed and said, "You guys go first. When I finish doing Tai Chi, you will be as lively as ever!" As he said that, he went to the senior citizens' activity room on the first floor, opened his posture, and started doing Tai Chi. Li Da
The two of them looked at each other and stood aside to watch. After completing a set of Tai Chi, he sweated a little. Lin Jinhong felt much more comfortable. Although he was still a little sleepy, that was because he had taken An Naijing, so he didn't care.
"How's it going? I said it's no problem. Now I'm full of energy, haha!" Lin Jinhong put away his posture and said to Li and Da: "Let's go to the embankment to see the situation!"
After leaving the house, Lin Jinhong felt heavy again. It was raining heavily. If this continues, the water level may soon exceed the embankment surface, which would be really dangerous.
Lin Jinhong ran to the embankment and found that the water level was about 50 centimeters above the warning line. He patrolled the embankment twice. If he didn't come to the embankment, he would feel panicked. When he came to the embankment, he had nothing to do. Lin Jinhong
I have no choice but to keep cheering up the villagers. Now I guess all I can do is boost their morale.
Behind him, Wang Xi's cell phone rang. He pressed the answer button. His expression changed after he heard a few words, and he hurriedly handed the phone to Lin Jinhong: "Secretary Ma's phone number!"
Lin Jinhong took the phone and said, "Hey, Secretary Ma!"
"Jinhong, the dam in Daliao Village has burst, come to Daliao Village immediately!" Ma Wei said a few words quickly and hung up the phone.
After hearing this, Lin Jinhong's head buzzed...
