    ?

    On the embankment of the Hong River, Xiao Kuang stayed alone in the small house of the water management station.

    The river water is already close to the floor, and it will obviously overflow in a short time.

    Once water has entered the room, no one can stay in the house.

    The Minister of Armed Forces led a team of people to patrol the embankment back and forth.

    Xu Yishan made a clear request that no corner should be missed.  Avoid piping.

    The Honghe embankment is lush with green grass all the year round.  Such places are the favorite places of mice.  A mouse hole may be the fatal point.

    Xu Yishan felt much more comfortable after changing into dry clothes.  Since last night, the clothes on his body have been wet and dry, dry and wet again.  Back and forth several times, almost exhausted his body heat.

    He brought a bottle of wine over to drive Xiao Kuang away from the cold.

    Although the weather is not cold, the clothes on the body are always wet, which can easily cause wind chills.  And as long as night falls, the temperature will drop sharply, just like winter.

    Seeing him coming, Xiao Kuang asked him hoarsely, "Brother Xu, how is the situation?"

    Xu Yishan glanced at the hazy river and said, "I don't know what to say. Anyway, I have a hunch that tonight must be difficult."

    Xiao Kuang said: "I am not alone in our water management station, why is no one coming to take over my shift?"

    Xu Yishan comforted him and said: "Now all the cadres and workers in the town have come up, absolutely no one is lazy. Xiao Kuang, if you feel tired, just squint for a while, and I will look at the data for you."

    Xiao Kuang shook his head and said: "Brother Xu, you definitely don't know our Hongshan Town. You said that no one is lazy, and I wouldn't believe it even if I was killed."

    Xu Yishan felt that it was inappropriate to discuss this issue with Xiao Kuang.  After all, Xiao Kuang is still an employee, and he is already the deputy mayor.

    As a leader, he must have the concept of safeguarding the overall situation.  Even if someone is really lazy and slippery at this time, he can only pretend not to know.  You must know that people who can play tricks at this time are not ordinary people.

    Sure enough, Xiao Kuang mentioned several names one after another, and vowed that if these people stick to their posts, he would eat shit.

    Xu Yishan was very unfamiliar with the names of these people.  Didn't even know there were any of these people in town.  He has just arrived here, and apart from a few leaders, he really doesn't know a few people below.

    After drinking a few sips of wine, Xiao Kuang began to cry. He looked at the already dark river with tears in his eyes, and said in horror: "Brother Xu, I also have a premonition that I may die here tonight."

    Xu Yishan scolded him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? All right, don't be pessimistic."

    Xiao Kuang fell silent, drinking his wine with his head down.

    Xu Yishan was worried that he was getting drunk, so he took the bottle from his hand and said, "That's fine, if you drink again, you'll be drunk."

    Xiao Kuang grinned and said, "Drunk and bold. If I die drunk, at least I don't feel fear."

    The two of them were talking, when they saw a person rushing over in the distance, and when they got closer, they realized that it was the Minister of Armed Forces.

    ?The Minister of Armed Forces was terrified, and after seeing Xu Yishan, he said incoherently: "Mayor Xu, there isa situationsomething has happened."

    Xu Yishan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked him: "Old Sun, don't be nervous, tell me, what's the matter?"

    "I found a mouse hole." A fine layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Minister of Armed Forces. He didn't care to wipe it off, and whispered, "Water came out of the mouse hole."

    "Piping." The word jumped into Xu Yishan's mind.

    "Let's go, take a look." Xu Yishan took a big stride and ran to the place where the pipes were flowing.

    The mouse hole is at the bottom of the embankment, hidden in a clump of lush grass.  If you don't search carefully, you really can't find it.

    When he arrived, he found that there was already a stream of turbid water bubbling out of the cave.

    "Block." He ordered the inspectors standing aside, "It must be blocked."

    The order went down, and the patrol team quickly moved into action.

    They have already prepared sand and gravel on the embankment in case of emergency plugging.

    Seven or eight gravel bags were piled up in a row, and the gushing water did not decrease at all. Instead, it seemed to be getting bigger and stronger.

    Xu Yishan knew in his heart that there was no way to block such a pipeline from the outside no matter what.  It must be blocked at the other end of the mouse hole to be effective.

    But the other end of the mouse hole is in the raging flood river, and I don't know the exact location, how to block it?

    He turned his head and said to the Minister of Armed Forces: "Minister Sun, if you can't stop it like this, you must go into the water."

    "Go into the water?" Minister Sun asked.She jumped, looked at him blankly, and asked suspiciously: "Go to the Hong River to block it?"

    Xu Yishan nodded and said: "Yes."

    Old Sun smiled wryly and said, "Who dares to go down? Isn't this a life-threatening joke?"

    "If you can't stop it, the leak will get bigger and bigger, and the final result may be a dike collapse." Xu Yishan explained: "In flood control and flood fighting work, the most feared thing is the imagination of piping. This is a typical piping."

    Old Sun took a breath and said, "Is there any other way?"

    Xu Yishan shook his head, sighed and said, "Going into the water to find the leak is the only way."

    "But the embankment is so long and so high, who knows where the water leak is?" Lao Sun sighed and said, "Maybe you can't find it even if you invite professional divers."

    Xu Yishan shook his head and said: "Then we can only let it leak and finally break the embankment?"

    The old grandson fell silent.  Everyone knows in their hearts that a dike breach is a disaster.  As long as the flood breaks through the dam, there is nothing to stop it.

    ? With the current amount and speed of water, after the embankment breaks, the gap will widen rapidly.  Moreover, after the flood rushes out of the embankment, the house that bears the brunt will undoubtedly collapse.

    Of course, pouring a house down is not scary.  The frightening thing is that the flood will knock down many houses like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

    If this is the case, disaster will really come.

    Xu Yishan looked up at the sky, then at the mouse hole that was getting bigger and bigger, and said with a gritted teeth, "I'll go into the water."

    Old Sun grabbed him and said, "Mayor Xu, what are you kidding?"

    Xu Yishan said seriously: "I'm not joking. Old Sun, you go and find me a rope, and I'll tie it around my waist. In this way, even if there is an emergency, you stand on the shore and pull it, and I can get out of trouble."

    Old Sun still shook his head and said seriously: "No, no one is allowed to go into the water."

    Xu Yishan comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Minister Sun, this little water can't do anything to me."

    Xu Yishan didn't brag. In addition to his natural ability to drink, he also has a special ability, that is, tortoise breathing.

    This ability was not innate to him, but came across it by accident when he was investigating water conservancy facilities.

    Once, he went to a medium-sized reservoir in the county to investigate, and met a god-man on the dam of the reservoir.

    This person is about fifty years old, and he is covered in black. If it is at night, it is difficult to see a person standing opposite him.

    He is nicknamed Old Gui. He has lived by the water for generations, and his ancestors have made a living by fishing.

    ? It is said that the old tortoise ancestor passed on a magical skill, which is called tortoise breath work.  Can dive to the bottom of the water and stay out of the water for an hour to breathe.

    When Xu Yishan saw the old turtle, it was the time when the old turtle was going to go fishing.

    Reservoir management stipulates that no one is allowed to use tools to fish.  But it is not restricted to get fish in the water with bare hands.

    Everyone knows that it is wishful thinking to catch a fish from a huge reservoir without fishing tools.

    The old turtle didn't wear anything except a pair of shorts, so he didn't violate the reservoir management regulations.

    After Xu Yishan witnessed Laogui's miraculous skills with his own eyes, he finally understood what it means to be a master of the outside world.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
