On May 1st, the weather is sunny.

Large pieces of honeysuckle bloom at the foot of the mountain, and the white and yellow ones folded out a glory, indicating that the pace of summer is approaching.

Today, Jian Ning was working in the paddy field. He tied a bamboo basket around his waist, and took out the loach and eel and caught it in the basket.

After several verifications, Jian Ning has confirmed that the captain is always releasing the Jian family. The specific reason is probably due to Comrade Jiang.

As long as he was not very particular about his behavior, the captain turned a blind eye to him. Jian Ning beat the snake and put on a stick. He took the opportunity to help him get some small benefits. Yesterday, he picked up more than a dozen lotus roots and some water chestnuts by the fish pond and moved them to the pool in the farming space.

In the afternoon, dark clouds were rushing to the market above the sky.

The drizzle fell.

Jian Ning wiped her sweaty hair and suddenly became uneasy. On a very common rainy day, she curled the anxiety in the dark.

She stood on the ridge of the field with her hands folded and put them beside her mouth. She sank the Dantian and rushed to the mountain and shouted: "Liya, it's raining, please bring your younger brothers and sisters back."

It was far away from there, and my cousins ​​were silent and couldn't hear the reply clearly.

After a moment, several blurry black dots moved the line to her position.

The black spots gradually approached, and I could see the honeysuckle in the pockets of the baby net and the pig grass in the backpack. The children chattered and asked for credit: "Sister Fourth, look, I picked a full bag of honeysuckle."

The uneasiness in my heart still remains unrelieved.

There is no source to be found and no way to comfort.

Squeezing the uneasiness in his heart, Jian Ning forced his lips to smile, patted the heavy basket on his waist: "I'll give you fried loaches later, don't run around, go to the pig pen to hand over the pig grass, and go home to dry the honeysuckle in the dustpan."

"Okay." Several kids cheered and ran away.

The rain has become heavier and the wind and rain are as dark as it is.

For three consecutive days, the rain did not slow down at all.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and less expensive, and flooding will lead to disasters.

After three days of rain, Jian Ning was restless for three days. She took the time to go to the gorge and clear the drainage ditch. When she returned to the village, she saw Wang Anqing wearing a straw raincoat, frowning around the field: "Captain, is the water outlet on the other side of the river dam blocked?"

The small rivers that dig water to irrigate the fields continue to pour heavy rain, which has become a safety hazard.

Wang Anqing looked up in the voice: "It should be almost done, I'm going to take a look."

"Let's go together." Her father and uncle also blocked the water outlet at the river dam at the entrance of the village. Jian Ning walked behind Wang Anqing in a deep step, walking silently.

Wang Anqing was also silent all the way, with a rock in his heart and was in a state of discomfort.

There are puddles everywhere on the ground, and the water in the ditch floods the road, flowing wildly, rushing out of the ditch.

The grain planted in the field was washed away as soon as it sprouted.

On hill slopes, where water flows, the turf is washed away, revealing the brown soil, and the potholes are like winding tears.

The water flowed over the insteps of the feet, making people's hearts cold. Jian Ning suddenly said: "Captain, I have a suggestion, do you want to listen?"

Wang Anqing frowned and turned his head, his voice dry: "What proposal?"

The rain curtain and the gloomy sky are glued together, like two pieces of cloth that cannot be torn apart.

Jian Ning kicked the water under his feet: "If a flood breaks out, the water hole at the entrance of the village will be blocked and useless. No matter how solid the dam built by the soil is, it cannot stop the ferocity of the torrent. It is better to call back all the manpower, vigorously clear the drainage ditches in the village, and drain water along the hills."

The Linghe River channel surrounds the east of Shuimo Village. When draining water from the hills, the water volume can be leaked into the lower reaches of the Linghe River.

Wang Anqing today is very different from usual, dull and quiet. After hearing Jian Ning's words, he didn't say it was good or bad, and just walked with his head down. From the side, the corners of his lips were tense tightly, as if he was thinking about the feasibility.

"This is just the first step. The most important step is to rely on the captain to persuade the people above to open the gate of the downstream Guanling County Hydropower Station as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the flood broke out, Shuimo Village would not be able to escape the flood." Jian Ning said solemnly: "So, it is better to drain the flood than blockage. How to discharge the flood is the key."

"Shuimo Village is located in the middle of the Linghe River. Several nearby villages are low in terrain, and this area is the first to be hit. Especially our village, which is located in a depression, and the torrents flow back in. People can run up the mountain to hide. The crops and houses have not grown feet. Once the flood hits, it is not difficult to imagine how heavy the losses it will bring."

When the whole meeting held a meeting last night to discuss the water blocking hole, she wanted to say that considering that she, a girl of sixteen or seventeen, did not speak with credibility.

I just walked on the mountain and found that the situation was even more serious than I thought, so I had to speak up and be alert.

If the captain didn't listen, Jian Ning would be ready to persuade the old lady to move to the high ground to avoid floods in advance.

Wang Anqingsha made a step forward and turned to look at Jian Ning: "It's that serious? It's only May, and it's not until the season when floods are frequent, so the boss will not agree to open the gate in advance."

The flood prevention period is usually in July and August.

Opening the gate is not a trivial matter. It requires layers of approval. It cannot be done by him in one word. Maybe he is labeled as an alarmist hat.

"The mountain stretches for dozens of miles, the rain continues and the water is overwhelming. If it accumulates a certain amount, it will inevitably cause a major flood." Jian Ning pointed to the ever-rimming mountains in the distance and said: "Everything is unexpected. All regulations should be adjusted and adapted according to the actual situation. Rules are dead and people are alive."

"Captain, if you are willing to believe me, immediately call the members back to the village to clear the ditches. You go to find the captains of several nearby villages to clarify the key points, gather them to the commune to report the mountain flood. You speak alone lightly, and those ten or twenty people are of great influence. If it really doesn't work, you ask the commune to send people to the mountain to conduct on-site inspections. I just entered the mountain and encountered several mountain torrents, and the water flowed into the valley and rivers."

"I look at the amount of water. If the flood is not available for three days, the best way is to convince them now and wait until they send people to conduct on-site inspections, and then report them layer by layer."

Wang Anqing didn't ask her what she was doing when she ran up the mountain on a heavy rainy day, and her eyebrows were furrowing and weighing her words.

"Let's go with me to the river basin." Wang Anqing suddenly accelerated his pace and ran towards the river basin.

"Captain, why is it not blocked again?" Everyone worked hard for most of the day, and saw that the water hole was half blocked. The captain was in a bad state. On a whim, it would not block if it was not blocked. Didn't he work hard before?

I was tired of moving stones and shoveling mud and soaking in water for a long time, and some people complained.

"Yes, captain, stand at a high point and look at it. The water in the ridge is almost full. Can it be done without blocking it? The water is poured into the village and you must not drown the crops."

"I was about to ask you for instructions and prepare to build a higher dam, but you suddenly stopped blocking..."
