The cadres of the Shilipu production team were worried, while the cadres and masses of the Guanzhuang production team were trembling with fear.
Fire and water are merciless.
In the face of natural disasters, human beings always seem so small.
The mounds, river trees, low-lying houses, streets, and even huge stones along the way were all peeled off and washed away one by one like steamed buns made of flour in the face of the torrential floods.
The floods were like wild beasts, rushing along the Wuding River.
In the Wuding River, the dams that had just been built blocked the flood from rushing down.
How could a monstrous torrent with the power to destroy the world succumb to these small earth dams?
"Rumble--"
When the torrent destroyed the first dam upstream, countless building silt was also swept up in the indestructible flood, and continued to rush downstream in an even more wanton and manic manner.
"It's okay to save people. Then you will take care of the food rations for those who come up."
Later, when it entered the stage of "advanced agricultural cooperatives", the Guanzhuang production team needed to build large warehouses to store the grain harvested by the entire production team.
The current situation is: Xu Daliang, Liu Xiangche and Zhu Qianchao. The more people they rescue later, the heavier the burden will be on them!
Risking one's life and working hard to save others is something everyone can do. After all, people's hearts are made of flesh.
But it was clearly something that should be done, but now it was ridiculed by the captain of the production team and the captain of the militia.
Xu Daliang may be a little overachieving and a little pushy, but he is not stupid!
Seeing this scene, Xu Daliang didn't know that his prestige in the Guanzhuang production team was just like the storage that was washed away and collapsed by the flood. Now it can be regarded as completely gone!
People's hearts are broken, and this team can no longer be led.
Xu Daliang raised his head, looked up at the gloomy sky, and then let out a long sigh: "Zhu Qianchao, Liu Xiangche, if you are willing to follow me to rescue people, please quickly get the ropes and long poles, and we will seize the time to save them."
People go!”
"Then I have to save people too!"
The Guanzhuang production team found a piece of open land at the foot of the slope where the members lived, and built a large storage room.
The captain of the Guanzhuang production team sneered, "Just like the educated youth Luo Xuan who jumped in the queue at Shilipu production team: as long as it was something he instigated, whether it was money or food, Luo Xuan would have to figure it out on his own.
Gan Shuili responded without looking back: "I am strong! Even if I fall into the flood, I believe I will not sink to the bottom."
In other words: educated youths also need to work in production teams and earn work points.
He could be shameless and go to Luo Xuan to get a meal, but how could he have that face?
"I am coming too!"
Behind her, Xu Daliang's voice came: "Classmate Gan Shuili, your water quality is not good, so don't go fishing for people in the flood!"
But after half a year has passed, the rations of the educated youths will follow the standards of the production team members where they belong.
It will not cause any trouble to the members of the Shilipu production team at all, and the members of other production teams will just follow Luo Xuan to eat meat."
But if the total work points are not enough to offset the money needed to buy rations, the educated youths can only write letters to their families and ask them to send some money to help them.
Now in the flood, there are still many victims who drift in and out.
after a long time
Suddenly, someone took the lead and began to cry loudly: "Oh God! Oh God! What can we do? How can we alleviate this year's famine!"
Zhu Ganchao faced the flood and said, "I'll hang out with Dingluo anyway! He eats thick food, so I can eat some thin food. Anyway, I won't starve to death."
What makes matters worse is that the Guanzhuang production team has the largest population.
Among them, 14 kilograms of fine grains and 18 kilograms of coarse grains.
"Help me!"
The captain of the Guanzhuang production team also became furious, "Our production team's storage room is gone, and now there are no grains left!
Even if we rescue them, how can we help them? We can't protect ourselves. The entire production team will soon be without food, and now even the wild vegetables are not growing. What a waste!"
I advise you: If you don’t have the ability to play football, don’t take on so many things!
Oh, you have enjoyed your good reputation, but all the trouble you caused will be borne by the members of our Guanzhuang production team? You just shit, and you still want us to wipe your ass?"
Gan Shuili responded loudly: "I can't just watch the victims being washed away by the flood right under our noses, right?"
Then the time for the second river dam to be washed away was shortened to 7 or 8 minutes.
Immediately afterwards, the second wave and the third wave of flood peaks caused by blockage came one after another.
Wait until the second wave of floods arrives at the Guanzhuang production team carrying thunderous and devastating force.
The rations for educated youths are actually not very high: 32 kilograms per month.
When the sixth river dam is washed away by the flood, there will only be a moment left.
Wait until the first wave of flood reaches the Guanzhuang production team.
Gan Shuili quickly picked up a flying claw, jumped off the roadbed, and ran straight to the river.
It is really vulnerable and will collapse at the first touch!
If we talk about the surging flood, it took about 10 minutes to destroy the first river dam.
No matter how hard we suffer, we won’t suffer as much as the victims struggling in the water, right? So, in the end, rescuing people is the most important thing first!”
When Liu Xiangche heard this, he became even more panicked: Zhu Chanchao and Luo Xuan have a good relationship.
How can you eat this?!
Xu Daliang's cheek twitched a few times, but he finally rushed to Wuding River to save people.
When the second dam was also destroyed by the flood, the waves of the flood became higher and more turbid.
Xu Daliang shouted sharply: "There are still countless victims who have been washed away in the flood. Put away your tears, stretch out your hands and walk! Follow me to save people."
Don't be ridiculous! Classmate Gan Shuili! Keep a watch on the upper reaches, and your responsibility will not be less than that of directly fishing for people!"
This, in turn, causes the first wave of naturally occurring flood peaks to pass.
"It's over! Our production team won't be able to survive this year! Oh my god, how can we solve this?"
Zhu Chao and Liu Xiangche looked at each other, then picked up their tools and walked towards the river.
If it lasts for three to five days, that's fine. But if it lasts for ten days and a half, who can bear it?
Hearing what Xu Daliang said, Liu Xiangche was a little hesitant and could only look at Zhu Qunchao helplessly.
Therefore, for the people we rescued, we could only squeeze some out of our educated youth rations to feed the affected people.
After a while,
The captain of the production team replied with a sullen face: "Let's go! What else can we do if we don't save people? Can you really bear it and refuse to save people until they die?"
The flood was originally turbid, but now the flood peak is mixed with more sediment, and its impact on the Wuding River has become even more severe!
But I heard Zhu Ganchao laugh and say: "Momada! Saving people is more important. As for the matter of rations, we will talk about it later. I don't believe it. Who else can starve to death?"
For a flood threat of this scale, the terrain is not low, and the safety of the Guanzhuang production team's storage room could barely be effectively guaranteed.
This flood is considered rare in 50 years.
Without any choice,
Suddenly, Xu Daliang let out a loud shout: "What's the use of shouting to the sky?! Our destiny is in our own hands!"
What's the use of praying to God and worshiping Buddha? If we want to save ourselves, we can only rely on our own hands!"
The captain of the Guanzhuang militia next to him had long disliked Xu Daliang, who was once so popular.
Xu Daliang sighed: "Classmate Zhu Qianchao, it is true that Luo Xuan has money and food.
In the past, when "agricultural cooperatives" were not implemented, the grain harvested by farmers during that period was kept by each household.
Xu Daliang was stunned: "Captain, no matter how difficult our production team encounters, we will slowly find ways to overcome it in the future. Besides, our superiors will not ignore us.
The height of the flood peak at this time was already level with the foundation of the Guanzhuang production team's storage room.
This caused the storage room, which everyone thought was extremely sturdy, to collapse in an instant when faced with the roaring flood.
Since the flood discharge is not smooth.
The rations for Xu Daliang and the others were not enough to eat at first. Even though they were able to rescue only three people after a while.
The entire Guanzhuang production team cadres and members were all stunned.
Xu Daliang was also covered in mud at this time. The originally high-spirited young man seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant.
Xu Daliang also picked up his tools and walked to the river: "Ganshuili, if you really can't stay idle, go upstream and keep an eye on it for us. I'm worried that there will be a flood coming down from behind.
After several minutes, no one at the scene could make even a little sound!
But if the victims come down, the heroes who save them will have to be responsible for their future food rations?
Xu Daliang roared angrily: "Nonsense! What else can't be submerged by such a raging flood?"
Gan Shuili thought for a while and had no choice but to obey Xu Daliang's words, turned around and ran towards the upper reaches of Wuding River.
Moreover, this ration has a time limit: the educated youth who jump in line will eat a fixed ration within half a year before they arrive at the production team.
"Liu Xiangche, classmate Zhu Ganchao, there is something I need to tell you first."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, it's heaven, I can't get through it!"
Then there are the fourth and fifth lanes
Like dominoes, countless dams into which the members have poured a lot of energy and invested a lot of material resources, in the face of the violent nature, are like toys folded by children using homework paper.
"I do not care!"
"Now that we've been rescued, how do we get food rations? Captain, you also know that our production team really has no food left."
I saw that the muscles all over his body were tense and his teeth were clenching!
"Why are you crying!"
The third dam was destroyed.
When Xu Daliang heard this, he couldn't help but stood there, unable to say a word for a long time!
At this time, how can there be so much care? Anyway, rescuing people and settling them down are the most urgent things.
If you are willing, continue to save people with me. If you have concerns, please come back!"
If that doesn't work, I can still get up earlier every morning and shamelessly go to help Luo Xuan make his bedding and fold it up for him in an orderly manner.
Xu Daliang is tall and has long legs, and he caught up with Liu Xiangche and the others in a few seconds: "The production team has no food reserves.
The two dams built in the Wuding River and listed as "models" and "benchmarks for learning" simply couldn't withstand it for even a second!
The floodwaters rushing down became more and more violent when they were resisted by the dams.
This is really embarrassing!
Unexpectedly!
Because there are so many barrages built in the river, places where floods could be discharged smoothly in the past have now become overcrowded, causing floods to stagnate.
At worst, I'll go over to Luo Xuan and help him with some chores so that I can make ends meet.
This ration is really not enough for these three young and strong male educated youths.
But the burden on others is also heavy! I heard that this time, all members of their Shilipu production team were busy rescuing people. Saving people is not easy, but how will Luo Xuan provide food rations for the affected people next?
It will be even more difficult!”
At this time, the cadres of the Guanzhuang production team discovered that the entire production team could no longer find a suitable foundation to build such a large "storage room."
"Everyone get up!"
At this time, the militia captain also snorted: "Comrade Xu Daliang, you can cook as much rice as you have at home.
When the flood peak passed, the members only saw rubble and bricks on the ground.
Therefore, the Guanzhuang production team did not build a "collective storage room" at that time.
Then sweep the yard clean for Luo Xuan and help him wash his clothes! I still don’t believe Luo Xuan, he won’t give me some food for emergency?”
Is there any trace of the huge stone cabinet used to store food?!
On weekdays, commune members are reluctant to waste even a grain of millet or sorghum.
Then at the end of the year, the production team will calculate how much each work point is worth? How much does it cost to buy a pound of farmers' rations?
If they earn more work points by working, then the educated youth, like the members of the production team, can still get a little bit of money at the end of the year.
And on the river bank,
The militia captain of the Guanzhuang production team looked at the busy figures of Xu Daliang and others and said, "Captain, do we want to rescue people?"
This is equivalent to each of them having to bear the food rations of one disaster-stricken person.
But now,
Not to mention the tens of thousands of kilograms of coarse and fine grain stored in the storage room were destroyed, even the grain seeds that were selected one by one by the members and were reserved for this year's spring plowing were gone.
This feeling and scene is really heartbreaking!
The militia captain followed the production captain and asked, "We can help one disaster-stricken person, but we can't help 10 or even 50 people."
"Then push it towards the Shilipu production team."
The captain of the Guanzhuang production team snorted: "Anyway, their Shilipu production team runs a restaurant, and their storage room has not been damaged. No matter how difficult the Shilipu production team is, it is still much better than our production team."
Push all the rescued people to the Shilipu production team?
The militia captain stopped and looked at the back of his production captain, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: This gray kudzu cannon!
