The Era of Hard Work
Chapter 7 Brother Soldier
The two openings on the east side of the bridge were successfully blocked and reinforced, and the troops, led by Lu Zhenlin and the officers, turned to support the west side.
The people here, temporarily unable to fight any more, collapsed on the embankment and under the embankment to rest.
A tree stretched out from the dike, casting a shady shade. Lu Dong squeezed a dry sandbag and caught a long leech that slipped ashore.
Lu Jianren held a ham sausage in his mouth: Throwing this net down, I have no strength to drag it back. There is no food or drink at night.
I don't know what will happen at night. Lu Dong pressed one finger on the back of the leech, coiled it up, it was seven or eight centimeters smooth, and it felt quite good: Uncle Qi, if you drink too much water, you won't be able to get up!
Someone answered: Become a water ghost!
Lu Jianren finished his ham sausage in a few mouthfuls: I'm looking for two beautiful female water ghosts, it's more comfortable!
Lu Dong continued to catch the leeches: Seventh Aunt beat you with a big ear scraper.
The seven uncles and seven aunts fight daily and can shoot each other with a shovel.
The leeches became shorter and rounder in Lu Dong's hands, and shrunk into almost a sphere. Lu Dong patted it on a flat place, and it was full of elasticity.
The two boys slipped up the river bank and quietly came to Lu Dong's side, and it was in the morning that they greeted each other.
One of them is Li Lin, the nephew of Lu Dong's aunt, and the other is Lu Kun.
They don't go to school after graduating from junior high school, don't have a serious job, and hang around all day long.
Lu Kun leaned over and said in a low voice: Brother Dong, Qiao Siliang is going to find someone to make a big impact in the county tomorrow. Each head costs two yuan. Shall we go?
In the past two years, young and Dangerous boys have become popular and poisoned many people, especially teenagers who love to imitate.
Lu Dong shook his head: No.
Li Lin said with a smile: I've said it all, two yuan is a drop in price! Can you hire Brother Dong if you don't have ten yuan?
Lu Kun quickly said: Brother Dong has gone, it must not be the price of two yuan, Qiao Siliang has no face to ask Brother Dong for two yuan.
Don't go, both of you! Lu Dong pointed to Hexia: What are you thinking? The water is flooding to the door of the house! Don't watch young and Dangerous.
Li Lin and Lu Kun left angrily.
Lu Dong patted the leech bouncing ball, and the young and Dangerous boy poisoned a large number of people. Many teenagers went astray because of their longing for movies.
…………
Mayor, change your clothes?
On the small dam, the officer suggested: There are short sleeves in the car.
Yang Liewen lowered his head and glanced at the black shirt with a white background: No, there may be some problems later. He pointed to the slightly honest boy under the shade of the tree: I'll go talk to someone.
After wiping off the dirt on his face, Yang Liewen walked towards Lu Dong.
The officer said to the publicity officer holding the camera: Follow up and take a few more pictures.
The publicity officer understood and followed behind.
Student Lu Dong.
Yang Liewen became interested in Lu Dong in the morning, and Lu Dong was not lacking in the manners he should have. He stood up and said, Hello, Mayor Yang.
Sit, sit. Yang Liewen faced the Qingzhao River, took the lead to sit on a sandbag, and looked at the words on Lu Dong's school uniform: Are you studying in No. 1 Middle School?
Lu Dong sat down, patted the biological bouncy ball, and replied, I just graduated.
Yang Liewen nodded slightly: This year's college entrance examination? How did you do?
Lu Dong stopped his hand to pat the ball, and thought to himself that he was a teammate, why should he be forced to be an opponent? He said vaguely, It's not bad.
Yang Liewen thought Lu Dong was modest: Undergraduate?
Can this person chat? Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted! Lu Dong did not leave any traces: Can you not talk about studying?
Okay. Yang Liewen didn't want to argue with a young man, pointed at the thing in Lu Dong's hand, curious: What is this? A bouncy ball? It doesn't look like it.
Lu Dong looked at Qingzhaohe: Heli specialties.
Yang Liewen felt that if there is a special product, there is something to do, so he became interested: Can I have a look?
Are you sure? Lu Dong asked.
Yang Liewen stretched out his hand, and Lu Dong simply put the leech ball in his hand.
Yang Liewen squeezed the elastic and smooth touch of his palm twice: Fish eggs? Or other aquatic creatures?
Lu Dong said, The leeches, the ones I burned this morning.
Yang Liewen immediately thought of the swollen worms on Lu Dong's body after sucking blood, and subconsciously wanted to throw it away. When he caught a glimpse of the propaganda officer holding a camera, he endured it.
bang——
Suddenly there was a loud noise like a house collapsing across the river.
Lu Dong turned his head to look, and subconsciously popped out the mantra: I get (neng)!
Everyone on the embankment stood up unconsciously.
Where did it collapse?
There was a chaotic roar under the embankment.
This sound touched people's sensitive nerves too much.
Don't panic! The accountant of the brigade was here, and shouted back: The Majia dike on the opposite side has collapsed.
At the place where Lu Dong and the others were facing diagonally, the embankment next to Majia Village on the north bank collapsed for ten meters, and clods of soil continued to fall into the water.
Soaked in high water level for a long time, the piece of embankment could not sustain.
Fortunately, no one fell into the water, and the embankment near the bridge was very thick, less than half of it collapsed, and there was still a layer standing there, so the embankment would not burst immediately.
However, due to the erosion of the river, it may collapse again at any time.
Quickly block the mouth!
Majia Village is also under the jurisdiction of Ningxiu Town, so Yang Liewen took a big step forward anxiously.
Lu Dong hurriedly grabbed it and reminded loudly: Don't go forward! No one can catch it if you fall!
Yang Liewen was so anxious that his forehead bulged with blue veins, he shouted: Stop it! Stop it! Human life is at stake!
The sound of gongs on the other side of the river sounded, and the dense sound of gongs seemed to hit the hearts of the people.
Lu Dong was also in a hurry, but he couldn't let go.
Don't look at Uncle Qi joking with the opposite party, in fact, the two villages face each other across the bridge, and they have been intermarried for many years, breaking the bones and tendons.
For example, his uncle is from Majia Village.
Uncle Qi's father-in-law's family is also in Majia Village.
Yang Liewen calmed down, looked around, and shouted: Organize rescue!
Everyone was dejected, how did such a flood pass?
Is there a boat? Yang Liewen asked.
Lu Dong said: The boat in the village is small, so we can't get through it. We need an assault boat.
Lu Jianren cursed a mantra first, and then said: Without a big boat, launching into the water is useless!
Yang Liewen asked the officer behind: Is there an assault boat?
The secretary shook his head silently.
People on the other side of the river have already started to move, throwing sandbags into the gap one by one.
Lu Dong roared: Cage! Find a cage to put it together!
Others were also shouting, not sure if they heard it, it was just people coming and going frantically blocking the opening.
Yang Liewen felt a deep sense of powerlessness, regretted only scratching his hair, why didn't he pay attention? Why not prepare?
Lu Dong seemed to have seen his uncle's cousin, so he could only watch here, unable to do anything.
Lu Jianren became anxious, took off his shirt and went shirtless.
Lu Dong was also anxious, and shouted: Uncle Seven, don't be silly! Think about Aunt Seven and the child!
Lu Jianren didn't intend to go into the water, so he took a deep breath and shouted: Ma's! Hold on! He can hold on!
Immediately, someone shouted: Ma family, hold on!
Majiacun, don't be cowardly!
Men and boys, hold on!
There was a sound of cheering and cheering, and there was nothing else that could be done in a short time.
The gap on the north bank is still falling, and Majia Village has reached the moment of life and death.
At this moment, a group of people wearing olive green and orange life jackets rushed up the river embankment. They tied ropes around their waists and held sandbags in their hands. They jumped into the water decisively and stood arm in arm after blocking the sandbags. Together, facing the rushing river, cast a human-shaped embankment!
The turbid torrent washed over and was blocked by flesh and blood!
They are firmly nailed there, like a great wall of steel made of flesh and blood!
The momentum decreased, the embankment gradually stopped falling, and the sandbags were thrown down one by one, and the situation began to stabilize.
Looking at the young faces and the shoulders supporting hope, the people in Nan'an were silent, shocked and moved.
Even if they are not guarding the Lu Family Village right now!
Lu Dong's eyes were moist, they are the real Great Wall of the Republic!
It was as if something was washing over Lu Dong's heart, and he would never forget this scene in his life!
Brother Bing! Good job! Lu Dong shouted with all his strength: Brother Bing! Come on!
Immediately someone shouted: The People's Liberation Army is a hero!
Soldiers, you've worked hard!
There was no response, and there was no need to respond. They were as determined and silent as the Great Wall.
When the sun approached the western horizon, the gap on the north bank was closed, and the soldiers left silently, leaving behind the dam to keep the villagers safe.
The water level finally began to drop. At around 6:30 in the afternoon, the new bridge connecting Lujia Village and Majia Village was exposed. There were crooked stone guardrails and a pile of garbage on it.
A call came from the higher-ups, and the water level of several major reservoirs was about to drop below the warning water level. As long as there were no sudden torrential rains, the water potential would soon subside.
The troops have not withdrawn, and will stay for a while to evacuate depending on the water conditions.
Originally, the village wanted troops to live in residential areas, and they had already begun to vacate houses, but the troops firmly disagreed, so the village had to open the summer primary school as a temporary base for troops.
The army left some people to stay with the village on night duty, and others returned to the elementary school one after another to ensure that they could go up with sufficient physical strength in case of danger.
Lu Dong led the way for a group of soldiers, and also arrived at the school.
Lu's Primary School was established very early and covers a vast area, among which there are dozens of trees that cannot be hugged by adults.
However, the school building is similar to many schools in rural areas in this era, which tends to be dilapidated.
Strictly speaking, Lu Dong was in a dilapidated house when he was in elementary school.
The news of the flood spread completely, neighbors and eight villages came to deliver meals, Li Wenyue was in poor health, and was arranged to work with the accountant of the brigade to make statistics and bookkeeping.
Favors from other villages, after the flood, they have to go to the door to thank them, and they have to return them if they have the opportunity.
When Lu Dong came to the door of the elementary school office, Li Wenyue was busy taking notes, and a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face stood opposite him.
Wen Yue, you have to record it separately! The middle-aged man emphasized: All meat is separated! Ears, stomachs, pig's trotters, pig liver, offal, the prices are different. I will reconcile the bill with the brigade later, so I can't forget it Already!
Hearing this, Lu Dong remembered that this person was Li Wenyue's neighbor, a celebrity in Lu's Village, and the owner of Cheng Lifeng's butcher shop.
His family has been engaged in brine offal for a living since the previous generation, and has a good reputation.
Li Wenyue said: Remember everything, there will be no mistakes.
Cheng Lifeng was worried, and checked himself again before leaving.
There was no one else nearby, so Lu Dong asked, The meat he sent?
Yeah. Li Wenyue tidied up the books: Third Grandpa ordered it to be prepared, and the army will help us. We also need to make sure everyone is well fed.
He suddenly said, Dongzi, can you beat Cheng Lifeng up?
What's wrong? Lu Dong wondered, Li Wenyue was not the one calling for beating.
Li Wenyue glanced at the school gate: Since delivering meals at noon, Cheng Lifeng has been withdrawing money non-stop. Our village is like this, who doesn't contribute? They want money!
Lu Dong helped him move the desk into the office: This is only a matter of self-consciousness, you can't force it.
Li Wenyue added: Since last year, Cheng Lifeng provided Mid-Autumn Festival benefits and New Year's goods to town-run enterprises and some units in the county, and the money is counted.
Lu Dong didn't answer the question, was there more than one person in Qianqian's eye? He pulled Li Wenyue: Let's go to dinner together.
