The sky seemed to have been pierced by someone. It was continuously covered with clouds and there was no trace of the sun for several days. However, the rain never stopped. It was a drizzle for a while, and then it turned into a pouring rain in the blink of an eye. It stopped for a while in the evening, and then started to rain again as soon as it got dark.
Although Liu Xinghua was riding in a jeep, the speed at this time was not much faster than taking a boat. The road along the way was difficult, and there were puddles and mud in many places. The driver couldn't drive faster even if he wanted to. I was afraid of stalling, so I could only press the accelerator hard. They came out of Wuhan very early in the morning. When they came out, it hadn't rained yet. But as soon as they walked out of Hanyang, it started to rain. As it got closer to noon, it started raining harder, and the rain continued in one piece. It seems like a waterfall falling from the sky. The jeep travels very slowly, just like a small boat in the ocean floating on the vast wilderness. When it rains heavily, the rain and fog even block the driver's sight, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
"Governor Liu, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain before leaving?" Driver Lao Yang suggested to Liu Xinghua. Although he has been driving for 20 years, he is still worried about safety accidents.
"What's in front of you?" Liu Xinghua asked.
"Dongjing County!" Lao Yang answered.
Liu Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said, "Then let's go to Dongjing County first today!"
The driver, Lao Yang, nodded quickly as if he had received a pardon and increased the accelerator again.
As he approached the county seat, the rain became much lighter. He had just passed a small village and was about to arrive at the county seat. However, Liu Xinghua found that there were suddenly many more people on the road, and Lao Yang had to slow down. . Through the car window, Liu Xinghua saw a group of soldiers wearing military raincoats heading up the river embankment on the left side of the road. Following these soldiers were many civilians wearing bamboo hats and raincoats, holding Carrying shovels, baskets and other tools among them, they also ran towards the river embankment in the same direction. Liu Xinghua immediately sensed that the situation was abnormal and quickly asked Lao Yang to stop the car. He didn't care that the rain outside had not stopped yet, so he opened the door without hesitation and jumped out of the car.
"Umbrella! Governor, give me an umbrella!" The commander quickly took a black umbrella next to his seat and handed it over, but Liu Xinghua didn't realize it and had already rushed into the rain and fog.
"Fellow, what are you doing?" Liu Xinghua stopped a person who was on his way and asked him loudly.
The fellow countryman glanced at him, maybe thinking that the people who could come by car must be officials, so he spoke more politely. He told Liu Xinghua: "The Dongjing River has been flooded by the river, and the flood has overflowed its banks. We are here." From the berm!¡±
Liu Xinghua was startled and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation here. Dongjing River is a tributary of the Yangtze River and the mother river that runs through Dongjing County. Almost all irrigation and drinking water sources in the county rely on this river. Now that the water level of the Yangtze River is too high, the water of the Dongjing River cannot enter the Yangtze River smoothly. Instead, the river water flows in the opposite direction along the course of the Dongjing River into Dongjing County. At this time, the river is just overflowing its banks. If once this river If the embankment breaks, the consequences will be disastrous.
The fellow said nothing more to Liu Xinghua and hurriedly followed the crowd towards the river embankment. Liu Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then saw a soldier running towards him. He quickly pulled him and asked, "Little comrade, which army are you from?"
The soldier glanced at him, but did not stop. He responded casually: "He is from the 215th Division of the 72nd Army!"
When he heard this number, Liu Xinghua couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. He hadn't heard from the 72nd Army for a long time, but who knew he would be able to meet his old troops here.
"Governor, look, you are soaked!" The driver, Lao Yang, came to Liu Xinghua's side holding an umbrella and said with concern.
Liu Xinghua didn¡¯t take it seriously. He immediately got into the car and said to him, ¡°Lao Yang, hurry up, let¡¯s go to the county committee first!¡±
"Yes!" the driver, Lao Yang, responded, and hurriedly got back into the car, and once again cautiously drove towards the county town along the road full of puddles.
In just over twenty minutes, Liu Xinghua arrived at the gate of the county party committee compound in Dongjing County. When he heard that it was the deputy governor who came, the guard at the gate couldn't believe it. In his opinion, the provincial government When the senior leaders arrive, they should naturally be surrounded by people. How can someone as humble as Liu Xinghua just drive a jeep with a driver.
Seeing the guard's unbelieving look, the driver, Lao Yang, was angry and resentful, so he could only tell him truthfully: "This is really Vice Governor Liu of the province. We were originally going to the Jingzhou Special Administrative Office to inspect the work, and we passed by your east." Jing County, Vice Governor Liu is coming to visit you. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can call your county party committee secretary.By that time, this man had already arrived in front of Liu Xinghua, immediately stood up and saluted him.
Liu Xinghua was startled for a moment. This man was wearing a raincoat and a raincoat hat, covering his entire face so that he could not see his face. While he was hesitating, he saw this man slowly pulling down his hat. Liu Xinghua couldn't help but opened his eyes wide in shock, and couldn't help shouting: "Eh? Wang Dahu, why is it you?"
Wang Dahu smiled and nodded, and said to Liu Xinghua: "Old Army Commander, you are here, can I not come?"
Liu Xinghua was still a little confused, and then asked: "I'm here to inspect the work, Dahu, what about you?"
Wang Dahu smiled and said: "Our 72nd Army was sent to Jingzhou by the military region to fight floods, and the 215th Division is responsible for Dongjing County."
"I heard that you have been appointed commander of the 72nd Army. Why did you come here in person in the rain?" Liu Xinghua asked.
Wang Dahu said: "Can we call it flood fighting while sitting in the office? Haha, old army commander, didn't you come here too?"
Liu Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"By the way, old commander, have you seen Zhang Yi?" Wang Dahu asked him.
Liu Xinghua shook his head and replied: "I just came here and was about to go find him." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Dahu again and asked: "Dahu, Zhang Yi turns out to be the commander of your subordinates. Do you see Got him?"
Wang Dahu nodded and said with a smile: "I saw him as soon as I got here. Haha, if it hadn't been for this damn flood, he would have invited me to drink. Although we have seen each other every day these two days, he But he didn¡¯t even offer me a sip of water, old commander, when you see him later, you must give him a good scolding!¡±
"If you want to scold him, go ahead and scold him yourself! You were once his leader, weren't you?" Liu Xinghua answered.
Wang Dahu couldn¡¯t help laughing when he heard this.
Looking past Wang Dahu's burly body, Liu Xinghua's eyes were fixed on the guard beside him. The guard had taken off his raincoat and held it in his hand, but he was fully armed and armed. He also had a pistol case on his belt, and the black gun handle was exposed, which was very conspicuous. He couldn't help but frown and said to Wang Dahu: "Dahu, you, the army commander, came here to be a supervisor? Or did you come to inspect the situation?"
Being asked by Liu Xinghua, Wang Dahu was a little confused and said in surprise: "Of course I'm here to check the situation!"
"Since you are here to check the situation, why do you bring guards and guns?"
Wang Dahu was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. Ever since he was the division commander, his guards had always been fully armed and never left behind him. He had never felt anything wrong. Appropriate.
Seeing Wang Dahu's embarrassed look, Liu Xinghua said sincerely: "Dahu, now is not the time of war, it is the time of peace and construction. If you want to get closer to the masses, then get rid of your official airs and don't let others fool you." I will be in awe of you just by looking at you!¡±
Hearing what Liu Xinghua said, Wang Dahu's face immediately turned red. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
