Chasing

After playing for a few days and returning to work, before Wei Yi had time to think about anything, the weather warning from the meteorological station broke all the peace.

The city, which has been in drought for many years, is about to face a heavy rainstorm. The office has received document after document, from various departments. The township temporarily decided that all government officials should go to the countryside to fight floods and prevent floods, so as to ensure the lives of the masses. Property safety, not only that, but there are many tailing ponds in Xinsi Township. Whether these tailing ponds can safely survive the flood is what leaders like them have to worry about.

Early in the morning, the township organized an impromptu meeting of all government officials, arranged work arrangements, and required everyone, regardless of gender, to be stationed in the village and not allowed to go home at night.Although everyone complained, no one expressed any objection after all, because the seriousness of the situation could be seen from the leader's frowning.

After the meeting was over, Wei Yi led his men and went to the countryside.Without Han Jifei, the village leaders didn't add any more people to Wei Yi's team, so there were only three people, obviously much weaker. Even so, work couldn't be delayed.Taking advantage of the cloudy day before it rained, Wei Yi led people to walk through all the dangerous houses listed in the village. If the house might be in danger of collapsing in the heavy rain, he asked the village to arrange transfer.

During this process, many people questioned whether the heavy rain could fall, because it was almost afternoon, and the weather was only cloudy, with some drizzle from time to time, which did not look like it was going to rain heavily.

Wei Yi said: "Since the Meteorological Bureau has said that the rain will be heavy, we should make full preparations and wait until it really rains. If it bears the load, it will be too late."

As time went by, the sky slowly turned dark. Wei Yi led people to look at the flood drainage ditches and flood discharge ditches, and even told the mining companies to keep an eye on the tailings pond, and don't cause any trouble. .

After he finished all these things, the big raindrops began to fall, and the sky was very dark, as if there was going to be a heavy rain.

The rain has been really endless, and it hasn't stopped since four o'clock in the afternoon. The cars of the village leaders have passed by several times. Secretary Zhu first, and Wei Yi said that they are all right, so they went there with confidence. We went to the next village, and within an hour or two, the head of the township Hu led the people from the economic committee and safety supervisor to come down again. At this time, there was some water on the ground in the village, and Wei Yi was about to lead people down to see what he had done before. Have the residents of the few households who requested to be transferred really been transferred?

Mayor Hu left after not staying for long, and Wei Yi hurriedly took people down.

These heartless people are still cooking at home. When they met Wei Yi, they said: "This rain is really heavy." The family said: "Hurry up and eat, and leave as soon as you eat, your house is really disgusting."

"Hey, then Secretary Wei, you said, this house is not good enough, will we build it in our village?"

"It's really not guaranteed. It depends on the situation. Your lives are important at the moment. I'll come back later. If you haven't gone to the arranged transfer point, we will have to force you." He just wanted to say: "Xiao Han, please register this household." But when he found that Jiang Qingzhou was standing next to him, Wei Yi rubbed his eyebrows, thankful that he didn't say this, so he said to Jiang Qingzhou: "Register this household. , let’s come back and have a look later.”

As soon as he came out of this family, Wei Yi's cell phone rang, and it was Han Jifei calling.He pressed it. At this time, there is no mood to chat with him. There are still more than ten villagers to leave, and time is life.

It was getting dark, the road was full of mud, and the rain dripped down the split raincoat and trousers into the rain boots, every step of the way felt like a river, it was so sad, Wei Yi hadn't eaten his dinner yet , The physical exertion was great, and even though the flashlight was assisting in the lighting, his sight was completely blocked by the rain curtain, and he could hardly hear anything except the sound of rain and the sound of raindrops falling on the raincoat.

It was already past seven o'clock when they finished leaving these houses, and it took a lot of effort to get back to the village. Fortunately, the people in the village cooked ginger soup and hot noodles, and after eating, people finally felt much more comfortable.

The cell phone in his trousers pocket rang again, and there were already five or six missed calls from him. This time Wei Yi finally got the strength to answer it, and a crying voice came from the other end of the phone.

Wei Yi was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "You are worthless, why are you crying? I didn't answer the phone call, it's not over yet."

Han Jifei was also in a hurry, "I saw news of heavy rain in our area everywhere, am I not in a hurry?"

"I'm really worried. What can I do?"

"Then what did you do just now?"

"Transfer people who may be affected by the disaster."

"look……"

"I'm fine. Go and do your work. I still have a lot of work to do. Maybe the leader will come over to check it later." Wei Yi wanted to hang up the phone, but Han Jifei stopped him.

"Brother Wei, have you eaten yet?"

"Just ate."

"Well, you pay attention to safety."

"I……"

"My dad told me about the flood in [-]. He saw with his own eyes a colleague who was swept away by the flood."

Wei Yi fell silent, his tone softened, and he said, "Well, I see, thank you."

After eating, the rain is still not small. The river that has dried up due to the long drought and no rain has begun to swell, and the flood drainage ditch next to the village has a torrent of water. Wei Yi is worried, so he goes to the villagers' house to check the situation , Some people’s roofs are already leaking, Wei Yi told them that if they really have no place to live in the village, they thanked Wei Yi for his kindness and kept saying they knew.

This night, Wei Yi basically didn't sleep. At one o'clock in the morning, people from the village committee brought a box of instant noodles and a plastic bag of mustard and ham sausage. After Wei Yi finished eating, he went to see it in the rain. After entering the river loop, the water level was about to approach the height of the flood bridge. He shone it with a flashlight, and saw the flood water rushing towards the low-lying places with very fast rolling branches and various garbage.

In fact, he was quite excited in his heart. This heavy rain really quenched his thirst. The countryside that has been droughted for several years has had poor harvests for several years. The drought has wiped out everything for the farmers. In some areas, drinking water for humans and animals has already appeared. Difficult phenomenon, this heavy rain finally makes the dry earth drink happily.

At three o'clock in the morning, the rainfall had already approached [-] millimeters, and in some places it had even exceeded [-] millimeters. The people who should be moved out were safe, and it was estimated that the people at the meteorological station also had a sleepless night.Wei Yi covered his clothes and stared for a while, when he woke up more than an hour later, the rain was not so heavy.However, it is said that when the water level was the highest, the water in the Hetao was already full, and the flood bridge was submerged.

He put on his clothes and went out for a walk, and asked the people in the village: "Nothing happened, right?"

"No, the whole village is safe, and the tailings pond is also safe."

"That's good." Wei Yi breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the sofa and fell asleep again.

During this heavy rain, there was not a single case of house collapse and casualties in Xinsi Township, and no tailing pond collapsed. This can be regarded as a little reward for their work.

It was already noon when we returned to the village, and Wei Yi went to report to the leader regardless of his fatigue. He went downstairs and saw this guy, the depleted army had a pair of dark circles under their eyes, and everyone looked like a wandering ghost. One day, the canteen rang the bell to call everyone to eat, and people rushed to the canteen as if they had been injected with chicken blood.After a night of heavy rain, everyone was in the village, and no one had a good rest or a good meal. This kind of exhaustion was more exhausting than staying up late to write materials.

Wei Yi had no appetite, but just felt sleepy. He simply ate something and went back to the dormitory to catch up on sleep. When he woke up, the leader had nothing to do and ordered him to go home.

While driving back, Wei Yi discovered that the entire city was seriously affected by the disaster. There was a slight landslide on the mountains on both sides of the national highway, and the water washed the soil onto the road, causing one side of the road to be closed. Turn on the radio, and the traffic broadcast The website also said that some roads that were closed due to severe flooding in the morning can now travel together.Wei Yi once again experienced the feeling of being isolated from the world. When he returned home, he found that the water in the house was also cut off. When he went downstairs to go to the bathhouse outside, all the bathhouses were closed, and the whole city was paralyzed by the heavy rain.

He was sitting on the sofa at home dejectedly, when his mother called and asked him to go over for dinner, Wei Yi said: "Mom, I'm too tired, I want to rest at home, I didn't sleep all night last night."

His mother sighed and said, "Okay, then you can take a good rest and get yourself something to eat later."

"Ah."

Fortunately, Wei Yi usually has the habit of storing water. He boiled some water, took a simple bath, and cooked a bowl of noodles for himself. He added two eggs, candied ones, and when he poked them with chopsticks, the egg liquid was yellow and orange. It flowed onto the noodles, mixed well and eaten into the mouth, the mouth is full of fragrance.Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, and he can finally have a good rest. Before he came back, he heard from the civil affairs officer that they had to work overtime and had to count the number of victims in order to apply for relief. This has nothing to do with him.

After dinner, Wei Yiwo was watching TV on the sofa. At this time, the mobile phone rang, and the three characters Han Jifei dangled on the screen.As soon as Wei Yi got up, Han Jifei asked him, "Brother Wei, are you at home?"

"Huh? At home."

"Yourself? Is Wenxi not at home?"

"No, I was at work last night. I was so busy that I didn't sleep much. I was very tired when I got home today, so I didn't pick him up."

Wei Yi heard some irregular breathing from the phone, as if Han Jifei was doing some exercise. When his breathing stabilized, the doorbell rang. Wei Yi just wanted to tell Han Jifei to open the door, but Han Jifei said: "Brother Wei, You open the door for me, I'm right outside your house."
