I plant a field in the last days
Chapter 128: A Man Floats in the River
Sure enough, things were still as Lu Yuan had imagined. The disaster came again. What they encountered here was not a typhoon, but a flood.
On the tenth day of the tenth day, a serious flash flood broke out in the northwest. The river surged several meters in an instant and spread down from the mountains in the northwest. A huge amount of water broke the dam and rushed down the river course, spreading towards Swept from the mainland.
Because the northwestern region has always been a very desolate zone, the high-altitude environment cannot be planted with trees, so the soil quality of the ground without the protection of trees, the flood mixed with a lot of sand and gravel washed all the way come.
This is probably the most serious flood that people have ever recorded. All areas have sounded the red warning signal of floods, and groups of soldiers once again assembled to fight the flood.
Soon the government of Qingshui City once again convened the people in and around the city and recruited a large number of people to fight the flood at the cost of distributing food rations.
Driven by food, more and more people have joined the flood fighting force.
In order to prevent floods from inundating the low-lying Shimizu City, people have found soil from parks or wastelands and put them in bags to fight the floods that have not yet arrived.
On this day, Lu Yuan and the others also saw the long-lost Director Tong again.
"Lu Yuan, you are the captain of the security team in our No. 3 area. You should take the lead. Now the river in Qingshui City has begun to rise in large areas, and it is possible to flood Qingshui City at any time. Now the government has also put out a large amount of emergency food reserves. You can quickly see how many people can be brought there!"
Standing opposite Director Tong, Lu Yuan saw a mobilization order on the other’s cardboard at a glance. Lu Yuan also saw the paper. The government is not forcing everyone to go. They just mobilized some people. To lobby people from various regions, as long as these organizers bring people over, he can get a lot of rewards. However, Director Tong didn't say this. Instead, he appeared at this time, obviously wanting to make more money.
Lu Yuan sneered at each other.
"Director Tong, I'm really sorry, we really can't go. You see, there are more than 30 people left in our No. 3 area, and most of them are women, young and old, and these are basically the people who can use it. It is difficult for us to protect ourselves, so no one can participate in the flood fight in the city!"
Director Tong looked at the people gathered around and was a little surprised.
"What about your people? Where did they go? There were hundreds of people?"
"Hehe, hundreds of people? Hundreds of people are gone, now there are only more than 30 of us."
Director Tong was still trying to say something, but he couldn't speak at all, he could only leave with a sigh.
Seeing the other person leave, Lu Yuan looked towards the outside of the drain again.
"Professor Zhu, can our drains block the debris flow?"
Professor Zhu stroked the reading glasses on his face and thought for a while.
"If we want to block the mudslide, we must reinforce the periphery of our canal!"
The wind and sand outside was too big, so Lu Yuan led everyone to the factory again.
Listening to the "jingling" tiles outside, everyone stared at Professor Zhu's computer.
"Look, this is where our No. 3 district is located. The terrain is still relatively high among these five districts. If the flood comes, it can only come from this direction. Therefore, the house on the northwest side must be reinforced. , It’s best to fill the house with sandbags!"
When everyone heard it, they felt that the workload would even exceed that of digging a canal.
Lu Yuan frowned and said, "Do so many houses have to be filled with sandbags?"
I saw Professor Wang walking over with a glass of water, looked at the schematic diagram on the computer, and thought for a while to answer the conversation.
"It shouldn't be so troublesome. We just need to do some protection in the front and the back. When the water comes, the front house will be the first to be hit by the flood, and the flood that has been running for so long will definitely contain the sediment content. It's very high, so here, here and here are all the protections we should do."
Song Heng was fighting with Deng Yuanyuan at this time, and even made a long-term future plan. When he heard that there was another job, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Brother Lu! You say it! Don't do it!"
Lu Yuan smiled. Of course he understood this carefully. Now he is a grasshopper tied to the same rope with them, and they are both prosperous and damaged. To protect them is to protect yourself.
Lu Yuan immediately said, "Fuck! Let's do it before the flood comes!"
Therefore, Lu Yuan once again organized all the labor force and rushed into the location mentioned by Professor Wang and began to dig up the soil from the field and put it into the house.
In the gale of magnitude seven or eight, more than twenty people formed a long line, passing bags of soil to the hands of people nearby, and then throwing them into the house.
It only took three days and all the work was completed. The workload was not small. In order to ensure everyone’s physical strength, Lu Yuan deliberately gave out his golden fruit to everyone, but he was not blatant. Just take it out, but crush the fruit and boil it into porridge for everyone to eat.
Everyone who ate the fruit had a feeling of inexplicable incomprehension. They only felt that they had inexhaustible strength, and they worked harder to work. They completed an impossible task in three days. It makes everyone involved in the work feel a little incredible.
...
Three days later, it finally started to rain heavily on the cloudy sky for half a month. The big raindrops hit the roof and made a crackling sound.
Soon the heavy rain formed puddles, and then the ground that had been dry for too long began to continuously absorb the water, but the speed of heavy rain obviously exceeded the speed of the soil to absorb water.
Three days later, the original road surface was completely soaked in heavy rain.
Lu Yuan sat at home and watched the surging rain outside the window slowly pouring into the drainage canal. A large amount of rainwater continuously poured into the drainage area, and then followed the exit of the drainage area and continued to flow downstream. go with.
The large drainage outlets that were originally set up in the drainage channels now seem to be flood gates, with turbid sewage constantly gushing out.
"Hey, I don't know if it can survive here!"
Although with the guidance of two adults, Professor Zhu and Professor Wang, Lu Yuan was still worried that everything they can do now has been done. He can only see if God will let them go. If he really doesn’t plan to If you let them go, you can only grit your teeth and apply.
Two more days later, Lu Yuan was hearing tremors from the ground in his sleep.
I suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in, with a frightened expression on his face.
"Lu Yuan, it's not good, the flood is coming, the flood is coming."
Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes, and then quickly climbed out of the window to look out, rushing down the road continuously.
Followed Xiao Shan to the living room, and saw that his grandparents, Xiao Shan's parents, and his parents were all anxiously standing outside the door, watching the continuous heavy rain.
"What kind of world is this? It's really hard to see such a big flood in a hundred years."
"That's right, this heavy rain is mixed with floods. I don't know when it will stop. It has been a long time."
At this moment, I was holding a string of rosary beads in that hand, where the gods babbled, as if praying for the gods, Lu Yuan didn't know when his grandma began to believe in these.
"Don't worry, we have done everything that people here should do, and there shouldn't be any major problems."
But Lu Yuan was still a little worried, so he put on his raincoat and walked out of the house.
In the northwestern part of the drain, it happened to be the direction from which the flood came. I saw it from a long distance. Standing on the edge of the pool, Professor Zhu, who was also wearing a poncho, was standing in the rainstorm. He had obviously been there for a long time. .
The two stood in the wind and rain like this, looking at the houses that were collapsing in the distance, they could only silently pray in their hearts for these houses to be strong enough not to let the flood over.
The floods in the distance continued to wash away everything blocking its path, all houses were destroyed wherever it went, and all kinds of dry trees were uprooted.
Soon all kinds of debris and tree trunks were floating on the water.
The house filled with soil and sand that Lu Yuan and the others just built some time ago blocked the water. When the water flowed there, it was directly divided into two halves. Fortunately, the direction of the water rushing was not. The impact came straight against the wall, but along the corner of the house, which greatly slowed down the speed of the water and played a buffer role.
Professor Zhu finally took a sigh of relief, and Lu Yuan could hear the other party's sigh.
"Professor Zhu, don't worry, there should be no problem with flooding! Let's just wait for the water to stop!"
The opponent nodded, straightened his waist and left the drain with Lu Yuan.
After returning to her residence, Xiaoshan’s mother has already cooked a big pot of lamb. The weather has cooled down, and the high temperature will never return. This season is the most suitable for eating lamb. After all, the humidity in the air is high. Drink lamb. Soup can get rid of moisture in the body better.
Eating lamb with big mouthfuls, Lu Yuan told his family about the situation just outside, everyone was relieved, the flood was stopped, and even the heavy rain did not know when it would stop.
A week later, three consecutive floods failed to break the buffer zone they temporarily created, and the place where everyone lived was finally saved.
The rain stopped, and the weather was no longer the high temperature of the day. Instead, it was cloudy every day, the temperature gradually dropped, and because of the water everywhere, the temperature nearby had dropped to more than ten degrees, and even dropped. the trend of.
However, the people in District 3 had already collected the thick clothes in other houses with Lu Yuan's reminder.
In order to celebrate, Lu Yun deliberately brought out half a sheep for everyone to eat.
Seeing mutton, everyone is not calm. It is definitely a beautiful thing to be able to eat mutton at this time, even a little soup is quite good.
So everyone sat in a place where there was no water in the factory, drinking mutton soup and chatting, not to mention how beautiful it was.
At this time, several children running back and forth outside the door suddenly rushed in.
"Uncle Lu! It's not good! There are so many people floating in the river!"
A boy named Chen Dabao pointed outside breathlessly and said.
Lu Yuan stood up as soon as he heard it.
"What? Someone floated in the river?"
The other party nodded quickly, and the two children next to him nodded quickly.
Everyone put down their chopsticks and rushed outside with the child.
I saw a lot of people lying on a huge bamboo raft outside the drainage canal. They were all in rags. Everyone curled their necks and swayed.
And there are many people outside the bamboo raft who have not climbed up. They can only float in the water and hold the bamboo raft.
At this time, they saw a few children and a large group of people rushed over, and they suddenly became energetic.
"Help us! Help us!"
"They are people from Area 3! I didn't expect them to be okay! Let's go quickly!"
"Slide there! Hurry up!"
However, although the heavy rain has stopped, the speed of the water is still very turbulent. The other party desperately rowed towards this side but always ran away, but it couldn’t hold the crowd and there were people following in the water. Soon the raft was under the efforts of everyone. Slowly row towards Lu Yuan.
And the people on Lu Yuan's side were immediately unhappy when they heard that the other party was about to go ashore. Why do you want to disturb the new life that you have finally gained?
Song Heng immediately picked up a bamboo pole and pointed at the other person viciously and shouted, "Hey! You are not allowed to come over!"
"Yes! Can't let them come over! They are from the second area! Those who attacked our third area six months ago are theirs!"
"Get away! You are not welcome here!"
The people were so angry that they picked up the stones and threw them at the other side, but the other side was unwilling to show weakness and took their own things to fight back.
However, how could they be opponents of people like Lu Yuan who had just eaten enough? Soon they were beaten away by stones.
"Huh! Don't be too happy! Sooner or later, others will come!"
Before the other party left, he didn't forget to speak harshly, but there was no way. It was impossible to get ashore here, so he continued to paddle the raft towards the downstream.
After driving away the other party, everyone was relieved. Their current residence is not very large, and there are only dozens of houses surrounded by drains. If all these people come up, don’t say whether they can live here. Under the circumstances, everyone's life will definitely be messed up.
Just when everyone was going back to eat, they suddenly heard Li Dabao's voice again.
"Uncle Lu, here again! Someone is here again!"
Lu Yuan frowned as he listened.
"Boy! How can there be so many people!"
However, this time Li Dabao's voice trembled a little.
"Uncle Lu... this time... all dead people this time..."
