Chapter eight hundred and thirty fifth retreat

Yang Lili moved to her new home in the county town. It was a two-story brick yard. It looked a bit old, but the yard was reorganized, with tiles paved with lacquered wooden colonnades, and some bamboo, trees, flowers and plants planted. The branches and leaves were also a bit broken by the heavy rain last night. However, overall, it was much better than those flooded areas.

Since the land price of Yushan is very cheap, such a large yard looks like half an acre of land, but it can be bought for only 200,000 yuan. If you spend some money to clean up carefully, it is all Yang Lili's ability.

There are seven or eight rooms upstairs and downstairs. There are two boys in the yard lying on the ground playing: one is smaller, only six or seven years old. When she saw Yang Lili walk in, she jumped up and ran over excitedly and shouted "Mom". Xie Zhi knew that Yang Lili was a widow, but from her beautiful face, she really couldn't tell that her children were so old; the other looked shy, looking twelve or twelve years old. Yang Lili told Xie Zhi that it was the son of Luo Qing and Feng Yumei.

Two old men poked their heads out, it was Luo Qing's parents: Last night, their family was also flooded in water.

Feng Yumei went to the township to participate in disaster relief; although Luo Qing could not participate in Huaineng's rescue, Liang Zhenbao and Xiao Haomin all relied on him in the county's disaster relief and rescue; and Mei Gang's rescue personnel and materials are now mainly relied on Luo Qing's coordination - both of them had no time to care about the elderly, so Yang Lili took his family over.

At this time, Yang Lili's mother came back from buying vegetables outside and complained that the vendors on the street were robbing money, and a cabbage would cost twenty yuan.

After all the entourages of Haifeng Group were picked up, Yang Lili laid bamboo mats downstairs in the living room and chess and card room, and temporarily sorted out two rooms to live in for the staff of Haifeng Group. Upstairs, a room was specially prepared for Xie Zhi, so that they could settle down first.

There is electricity, TV, and hot water to watch the news. The conditions are much better than trapped in a hotel building or squeezing a tent in a middle school in Yushan County; at lunch, there are not many vegetables, but chickens, ducks, bacon and eggs are enough.

Yushan County is still closed and backward, and many people in the county town will raise chickens and ducks in their own yards.

When the flood came, the vegetables in the corner of the yard were flooded. However, many people carried the chicken coops and duck houses to the high places. After evacuating, they found that even the place to settle down was nervous. These chickens and ducks were in trouble with them. Everyone was in a hurry to take them off, and the price was very cheap. They didn't want to buy vegetables at 20 or 30 yuan per pound.

Even if the losses caused by the flood are serious, there is no problem in supporting the living supplies in the entire county for ten or eight days; the key is short-term chaos and the speculative behavior of some vendors, which is called market order imbalance in a short period of time.

However, this situation was quickly stopped in the afternoon.

The county has set up a piece of land on the east side of the county middle school. As a temporary farmers' market, staff from the county industrial and commercial office supervised on the spot to crack down on the random price hike, causing the soaring price increase to improve.

Xie Zhi and the others were trapped in Yushan and couldn't get out, so they could not just stay at Yang Lili's house and do nothing. In the afternoon, they all asked Lishui's house to set up a place to help.

In the afternoon, there were four more resettlement sites in the county town; and during the summer vacation, male teachers from primary and secondary schools in the county town that were not in school basically organized in the afternoon, and four or five hundred organized rescue forces participated, so the rescue work in the county town became more abundant, and they were also able to transfer more equipment and manpower to rescue in the townships below. There were even two military helicopters entering Yushan County.

There is no military helicopter in the military sub-district of Donghua City. The construction of the Huaihai Fleet's base in Xiapu has just begun, and there is no military helicopter. Xie Zhi is probably asking for help from the provincial military sub-district about the severe disaster in Yushan.

Since the garrison officers and soldiers transferred in yesterday went up the river bank or went directly to the township, the influence of the garrison officers and soldiers in the county town was not seen, which affected the morale of the residents of the county town. At this time, when they saw military helicopters wandering over the county town and participating in the rescue, many people seemed to see greater hope. When they saw military aircraft flying by, thunderous applause burst out from the crowd.

However, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds in the sky became thick and dense again, as if the night had arrived early, making people afraid that the heavy rain last night would come again. Not only would the flooded area of ​​the county town continue to expand, but everyone was wondering whether the upper reaches of the Yushan Lake Reservoir and the river embankments along the coast could withstand the impact.

There is also the silt in the lower reaches of the Dongyuxi River, which is always a sharp sword hanging above everyone.

The silt cannot be cleared, and the water from the middle reaches of Dongyu Creek to the upper reaches of Yushan Lake Reservoir cannot be discharged. The entire Yushan Valley may become a huge landslide lake at any time.

This will not only aggravate the flooding degree of Yishan County, but also become extremely dangerous due to the instability of the landslide lake.

While Xie Zhi was hesitating whether to send someone to the county flood control headquarters to find out the news, someone in the room suddenly shouted excitedly: "The phone is on!"

Xie Zhi quickly took out her cell phone and saw that there was still no signal on the cell phone. Then she thought that the person in the room said that the landline was connected. It seemed that the telecommunications department only took less than a day to repair the communication line that was scrapped last night.

By 1998, the living standards of urban residents were still very low, and home phones were still luxury items. After the communication lines were opened, there would be no congestion in the communication lines - Xie Zhi hesitated whether to enter the house and call Hongqi to report safety. Then Yang Lili walked from the house to the sun, and told everyone in an excited tone: "The silt downstream has been opened, and the drainage has begun to be increased downstream..."

By 5:30, the heavy rain fell again, and the rain was slightly smaller than last night, but no one could say how long the heavy rain would last. If it lasted for another seven or eight hours like last night, everyone would doubt whether Mount Yu could still hold on.

I returned to Yang's house in the rain. After dinner, everyone did not go out again; Yang Lili stayed at the resettlement site all the time.

Xie Zhi stayed at Yang's house at night, watching the news on TV, and disasters were broadcasting everywhere on TV:

Not only was Yushan County severely affected, but Donghua City severely affected, but Yunhe County, in the upper reaches of Zhujiang, had collapsed, and the TV showed a flood over the townships. There was a mess. How many casualties were there? The news did not mention.

By nine o'clock, the communication line was interrupted again, and the rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes small, and it was constantly.

"Playing" Someone knocked on the door outside the yard. Xie Zhi walked to the balcony and saw Yang Lili's mother walking out with an umbrella to open the yard. She saw Yang Lili asking the two of them to come back half-lift and half-help, her face covered in blood.

Xie Zhi was startled and hurried downstairs to help Yang Lili come in.

When he entered the room, he listened to Yang Lili's mother complaining loudly, complaining, and scolding people. Xie Zhi couldn't understand anything. He inexplicably cared about this beautiful woman she usually looked down on: "You are not at the resettlement site, why did you fall like this?"

Luo Qing's father was an old teacher. When he heard the noise, he ran to the main hall. Listening to Yang Lili's mother's complaint, he asked Yang Lili in Mandarin: "So, has the water in the city not increased any more?"

"The water has not receded, nor has it risen again. I have seen it with my own eyes. It should be that the downstream river section has been opened up and drained, which has played a role. The upstream reservoirs have not closed the gate. It seems that as soon as the rain stops, the water will retreat..." Yang Lili said.

Only then did Xie Zhi realize that Yang Lili did not stay at the resettlement site, but went to see the flooding situation in the city in the night rain. She accidentally fell down halfway and asked someone to save her.

Seeing Yang Lili's face being broken with a large piece of skin and blood seeping out, Xie Zhi shivered in her heart, thinking to herself that if there were scars, this beautiful face would be greatly reduced. However, Yang Lili didn't care about this matter, and seemed to be just happy that the water did not rise.

This is indeed the most comforting good news for everyone. No matter how heavy the rain is, as long as the water does not rise, the situation will be more serious. This is where hope lies; as long as the rainstorm stops, the situation will improve.

Sometimes, some things cannot be seen by the eyes, but those who understand are secretly grateful: If Xiapu County had not organized forces to break the silt of the downstream river in just one day, the situation tonight would have been unimaginable.

Yang Lili had medicine on her face, and she scolded her mother for a while, so she stayed at home and did not go out again. No one could sleep peacefully, and the communication line was broken again, so she stayed in front of the TV to watch the news.

Xie Zhi and Yang Lili were sitting and chatting, and then they learned some more detailed situations.

The city cannot send more support forces, and the rescue of Yushan can only be mainly Xiapu County.

In the afternoon, Shen Huai personally led a team to organize emergency construction into Yushan. Recently, it was even less than five kilometers away from Yushan County. Shen Huai was also commanding on the spot, and underwater blasting several places along the Dongyu River were severely blocked and underwater blasted, opening up the drainage of floods in the upstream.

During the on-site command process, Shen Huai's left shoulder called a rock that rolled down from the mountain to hit him. He was injured and forced to withdraw from the scene to command. Now Dai Quan is the one who takes over Shen Huai's east commanding the rescue work. As long as the rain stops, the road will be opened tomorrow.

The communication line was opened in the afternoon, and it was also a person sent by Xiapu. It was just a temporary pillar that was blown down by the storm at night. I could only wait until the rain stopped before going up the mountain to repair it.

The second rainstorm did not last night like last night, and it drizzled down around eleven o'clock. Xie Zhi and the others were still in the mood to sleep until dawn, and the sky was bright and the morning stars were revealed. This made people feel assured that the most difficult time had finally passed, but news of casualties came one after another.

During the heavy rainstorms in the past two days, almost all townships in Yushan County experienced mountain torrents, and there were more than 20 houses buried by mudslides. Although a lot of rescue efforts were invested, there were as many as twelve people in the county who were electrocuted and died in the county.
