Volume 6 Chapter 10

"Boom!" "Boom!"

the thunder went on and on for several times, and the heavy rain began to fall. ()

because of the double tonic effect of snow bird's nest soup and iron headed pike, Lin Xi is full and warm, and the heat rises in his body. He feels that the rain is bigger than yesterday, so he wants to call Jiang Xiaoyi to practice in the rain.

But at this time, he heard someone talking with Mo, but the voice was not clear in the rain.

A moment later, Mo's footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs. As he got closer, Lin Xi thought about who might be coming to him.

Sure enough, hearing that old man Mo was not far from the door, he said, "Lord Lin, someone has something important to ask you."

Lin Xi answered and immediately opened the door to go out. As Mo went downstairs, he saw a farmer with a pair of straw sandals and an honest face.

Before he could make a sound, I saw that the farmer seemed to confirm that he was the "Xiaolin adult" among the people. He immediately fell down on his knees with a puff. He was nervous, and he was born to be inarticulate. He opened his mouth for a while, but he didn't know how to say it. In a hurry, the farmer subconsciously snapped again, kowtowing to Lin Xi.

"Don't be too polite, and don't worry. If you have something important, just tell me." Lin Xi immediately stepped forward, helped the farmer, and held him up.

The farmer opened his mouth several times, but he still didn't know how to open it, but finally he said, "Lord Lin, please save 5000 lives!"

"Five thousand lives?"

Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi, including Mo Laoren, all changed their faces when they heard this sentence, and their intuition was that something important happened. But seeing that the farmer was nervous and dull, he didn't know how to say it. Lin Xi was still calm and said in the most gentle way: "don't be nervous. Speak slowly. If you can't settle down and say it clearly, I can't know how to do it even if I have the ability of all day."

"Don't worry. You don't have to think about the wording. We should be able to figure out what you think and say every sentence." After pondering for a while, Lin Xi looked at the farmer with encouragement and said, "are you from Donggang Town, what's your name?"

For the farmer, it seems to be easier to answer Lin Xi's question than he said, so after a little calming down, he immediately replied: "grasshopper Chen Haozhi. It's from sangyuwei, Donggang Town. "

"Sangyuwei?"

Lin Xi frowned slightly. He remembered that this place did not belong to the seventeen lanes, one port and three cities, which often had some things. It was in the east outside the town of Donggang, and it was a village where a large number of farmers gathered. But he vaguely remembered that the total population of the village was more than two thousand. What exactly did Chen Haozhi mean by the five thousand lives?

"What happened to you?" But because of the farmer's nervousness and speechlessness, he asked in the most gentle tone.

At last, the farmer spoke more smoothly. He took a breath and said, "the dam is likely to break."

"Dam break?" Because Lin Xi is not an ordinary teenager, the knowledge in his mind is not as profound as the people in the world, so he felt the tension and frowned immediately. "I just came to Donggang Town. I don't know much about this place You don't have to worry. Speak slowly first. "

"My grandfather asked me to come. My grandfather is ninety-three years old." The reason is that Lin Xi didn't need to think about the wording before. He could say whatever he wanted. The farmer said this sentence directly because his foreword didn't match his later words.

After that, he added: "my grandfather has been in our field for a generation, and he knows our weather very well. He said it would be a few days before such a rainstorm. And this year's rain is more than double that of previous years. The dam is likely to break. "

Lin Xi frowned even more severely, but he didn't make a sound, but old man Mo frowned, and said: "but the river dam has always been very reliable, so many years down, I never heard there would be a problem. The official who built the dam is said to have received a commendation, and later he was promoted to the capital. "

Chen Haozhi, the farmer, seemed to have got the gist and spoke more smoothly: "my grandfather said that there were four dams built in total, one in Donggang, one in Yanlai, one in Qinghe and one in Jinqi Town, downstream of us. We Donggang and Yanlai have been all right because they were reinforced 37 years ago. At that time, it was also such a "jianglongwang head up" weather. Not only did it rain a lot more than in previous years, but then there was a rainstorm. Moreover, before the rainy season, the water level of the river was relatively full. "

Lin Xi's heart sank. He immediately looked at Chen Haozhi and asked, "listen to you. Did the dam of Qinghe and Jinqi town break that year?"

Chen Haozhi saw that Lin Xi discussed with himself carefully, and his face was extremely dignified, so he immediately felt more at ease and nodded: "the dam in Qinghe and Jinqi town was completely broken, but now there is no trace at all. It's just that behind the two dams of Qinghe River and Jinqi River, there were large connected fish ponds. At the time of water delivery, there were not many people living nearby, so there were not many people who died in those years. Now those fish ponds are no longer there, just two inner bays. Among them, the inner bay of Qinghe town is the Chuiyi port of Qinghe town, which is full of Dyers and cloth makers. "

Mo's face slightly changed. He is in his sixties. Thirty seven years ago, it was a long time for him, but he vaguely remembered something like this.

"This dam has been built for 45 years. It has been built for eight years, and it has been flooded. It has broken two." Chen Haozhi looked at Lin Xi with a tight brow, and said: "my grandfather remembered so clearly because he was one of the people who built the dam in that year. He worked under the master Yuan who built the dam in that year. And then he did the work of strengthening the dam. "

After saying these two words, the farmer suddenly thought of a key point, and immediately said, "and my grandfather heard that Lord Yuan said that there was a water measuring column in front of the dam. When the water level exceeded the mark engraved on it, it means that the dam itself could be in danger at any time. But the water column had been broken by a boat more than ten years ago, but my grandfather saw the water level and said that the water level must be above the mark of the water column at the moment. "

Lin Xi naturally grasped the key point better than Chen Haozhi. He nodded and said, "listen to you. Although those two dams have been strengthened, they are in disrepair. As they were 37 years ago, they are very dangerous."

Chen Haozhi nodded at once and said: "when my grandfather found that the water level was wrong the day before yesterday, he had asked us to carry him around the dam to have a look. He was sure that the situation of the dam was not as good as it was 37 years ago. Many of the pegs have rotted

Lin Xi frowned and continued to ask, "I didn't go to those two river dams If those two dams break, will your rear area be very dangerous? Will you drown many people? "

"Behind the river bar in Donggang and Yanlai towns are large areas of good farmland, and the villages are all in the center of the good farmland. The terrain is not high, and there are many ponds around. They are connected into a water network, like an island. Our" encirclement "refers to the artificial living place in the water. Now, in sangyuwei, Donggang, most of the farmers still listen to my grandfather's words. Some old and young people have moved to other places. But if all these fields and crops are washed away, we will have no harvest. How to live next? So the vast majority of people are not willing to give up. Now, about half of them are in their prime. They have been guarding the river dam over our side and trying to fix it after listening to my grandfather's words. "

"It's just that our manpower is limited and we can't get enough big wood for reinforcement. So if the river dam breaks, I'm afraid hundreds of people will die on it. "

At this point, although Chen Haozhi said it smoothly, he was more anxious. A strong man started to wail, and his speaking order became incoherent: "few people in Yanlai town believed my Lord's words, and they felt that the dam was OK after all these years. So there's no movement at all. "

"The reason why Donggang and Yanlai strengthened the river dam at that time was that many people were still building the dam, and behind the dam in our two towns were fertile paddy fields transformed from depressions, which should not be missed. But after so many years of peace and security, plus the open water surface of Xijiang River, the water flow is not urgent, there has been no water supply, plus those who built the dam in those years are old and dead, so we all don't believe it. We don't think there will be any problem with the high water level. "

Hearing Chen Haozhi's wailing and telling, Lin Xi's brow was frowned tighter and his face was more solemn. He asked earnestly, "according to your grandfather's opinion Now the dam is extremely dangerous. It may collapse at any time? What do you mean by 5000 people is that our Donggang and Yanlai together may be flooded? "

"That's exactly what it is, Lord Lin." Chen Haozhi felt that he had finally made it clear and could not help kneeling down again.

Lin Xi drags Chen Haozhi, takes a deep breath, and says: "this river and harbor water conservancy is not under my jurisdiction. You come to me now and are so eager. The officials of the relevant engineering department don't believe what you said?"

"Yes." Chen Haozhi wiped his face, looked at Lin Xi, and said in a sad voice, "they think I'm just ridiculous, saying that my grandfather may be old enough to have dementia, full of hysteria, how can I believe it. I just wanted to find the governor, but I didn't find him. I really had no choice but to think of Lord Lin. "

Lin Xi's mouth flashed a bitter smile, but his heart was tense and cold.

Previously, he had hoped that the rain would be bigger so that his practice would be more effective. However, he did not expect that the continuous rain has caused such an impact, which may endanger the lives of so many people.

"Go, and follow me to the governor."

Just slightly pondered for a while, Lin Xi nodded to the farmer, took his green umbrella, and walked into the heavy rain outside.

In the dark night and rainstorm, Chen Haozhi and Jiang Xiaoyi closely follow Lin Xi.

It's a tired and late chapter, but I don't know why, but it's very happy to finish it... Because today is a return trip from Shanghai to Wuxi, so tonight's update must be later, please wait for me
