Chapter 30: Breaking the Pole
It was still raining heavily, and the sky was gloomy as if it was about to drip out. As night fell, the surrounding scenery became even more difficult to see.
But the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the above instructions are not allowed to leave the marble.
Therefore, this group of people can only watch here to prevent the breaking of the dike.
Chu Han is not going to leave, nor is he not going to leave. She doesn’t leave, but her mother is still at home, and everyone in the village is hiding at home and planning to sleep. If no one can remind them at this time, the moment when the dike is broken is the moment when they die of the flood.
Until now, Chu Han has changed the fate of the two people, one from Xia Chu and the other from his father.
He didn't know how the fate of these two people would change, how they would change in the future, and whether the person who should have died would die even worse, just like in movies and TV dramas and novels.
But Chu Han couldn't control these things. At least, he couldn't sit still in his own eyes.
"Chu Han, go back, otherwise your mother will be worried." Chu's father looked at his son with distress.
Chu Han has been here for a day, coming from morning until six o'clock in the afternoon.
At six o'clock in the afternoon in summer, the sky should be bright, and the warm sunset shines on the earth from the west, turning everything red. This is the normal summer.
But today's summer seems a bit unusual.
The water level of the Yangtze River has been rising, and the rising speed is a bit exaggerated.
This shows the importance of instant communication. If there were media in this era, the entire southern Anhui might have learned that the precipitation in the country began to increase.
Unfortunately, they don't know.
The village chief thought that the heavy rainstorm this summer was the same as usual, and nothing was strange about it, but he didn't know that there were only some areas of the heavy rainstorms in previous years, but this year it was the entire Yangtze River Basin.
"Entering the dikes and filling the dikes and filling them, hurry up!"
After all, he was the village chief. He seemed to see that the water level line was a bit abnormal and immediately started to ask people to fill in the dike.
When everyone heard this, their heads were getting bigger. For the first time in decades, they had to fill the soil for the steak.
But the water level is rising at a speed that everyone can see. They understand that the village chief’s instructions are not aimless, so they picked up the shoulder pole carrying that had been stored for a long time, carried a shovel, and began to dig the loess from the mound next to them.
"Dad, I'll help you." Chu Han also came with a shovel, and this is the purpose.
"Go home quickly. Your mother called me just now. Don't worry him. It's okay here." Chu's father slapped Chu Han a long way and started working.
Chu's father, who had been doing farm work for decades, was very strong, and Chu Han could not resist it. Moreover, the crowd began to be crowded with people, digging soil, solid and reciprocating, and Chu Han could not join in at all.
Time waits for no one. Since I can't join here, Chu Han can only hurry up and go home. Although he is still worried about his father, he believes that his father will be safe and the pillars of the family will not fall so easily.
Riding on the 28th bar in the thatched hut, Chu Han quickly rushed to his house in the heavy rain.
There is no condition for riding a bicycle in the mud on the road. Chu Han rode almost with the weight of his entire body. Although it was very tiring, it was faster than walking.
On the dike, a group of farmers did their jobs, which was very difficult.
Although Jiang Dapang was scared during the day and fell into the river, fortunately nothing happened.
He insisted on staying and helping to watch the turf, and the village chief agreed.
When carrying soil and adding soil, Jiang Dapang worked the most. He carried the pole full of his shoulder pole. He put it on the stem and started stepping on it.
However, when the pouring rain is poured out, a large amount of new soil will always be lost, and the efficiency of Dunshi Dike will decrease.
But now there is no way. In order to prevent the rise of the water level and threaten the dike, we can only use the inefficient laying of new soil in this way.
The small piece on the left is from Sanlizhuang, and next to it is from Xiazhuang. A river looks forward to it, which is the labor force of each village. There may be people who are cheating and lazy in this place, but most of them are working diligently and hard.
Once the dike is broken, the huge amount of water will directly flood the villages behind you, and the villages behind you are their homes.
"Brother Chu, the water level seems to have risen again."
As he was working, Jiang Dapang seemed to have discovered a new continent and said to Chu's father.
Father Chu said in surprise: "Have you risen again?"
Sure enough, the mark that was made underneath was now buried in the water and spread towards another mark.
The dike is higher than the horizon, and the water level inside is naturally higher than the horizon. Once the dike is broken, everyone knows what will happen. This news made everyone's hearts light up. The village chief got the news and began to call the village frantically. The village notified the town again. Before the town could notify the city, the dike broke!
At ten o'clock in the evening, the villagers in various villages fell asleep with the heavy rain.
In the 1990s, when there were no internet, no mobile phones, and even many homes without TV, there was not much entertainment at night, all you could do was go to bed and rest.
After working for a day during the day, everyone was very tired. After a while, they started to snore and fell asleep. They didn't know what they would face next.
Jiang Dapang just came back with a load of soil and stepped on the dike. He felt the wetness on his feet.
Because it was raining heavily, for convenience, many people took off their shoes and started working.
But when he stepped on the steak, it felt like a mixture of mud and water and soil. But when Jiang Dapang stepped on it again, he felt like he was stepping on the water directly, just like... the feeling at the seaside, with the sea water in front of him, slapped towards the shore with the waves, but the wave under Jiang Dapang's feet was a little smaller. In front of him, it was already level with his feet, horizontal.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from a distance, and the trunk broke into a gap and a small stream of water flowed out of the crack.
Seeing this, Jiang Dapang used his strength to pick up the soil and rush towards the gap, trying to fill the gap with the soil, but it was useless.
In just a few seconds, the gap became larger and larger, until it collapsed.
This nearly 100-meter-long dike collapsed in Jiang Dapang's eyes. The river water in the dike seemed to fall from the sky and rushed towards him. Then, a huge force attacked. Jiang Dapang didn't even have time to ask for help, and he was carried forward by water and disappeared.
"Jiang Dapang!" Chu's father shouted at the disappearing Jiang Dapang, and his whole body was washed into the flood.
"It's broken!!!"
A huge shout echoed throughout the rainy night, but then hid in the powerful thunder.
