Chapter 51

 Mengzhuang Brigade's dam opening is not small, and the river is wide and wide. If the water level floods up, using ordinary soil and gravel to temporarily block the opening will not be able to stop the water pressure at all.

  Therefore, we have to go to the mountains to dig those heavy big stones and bury them in the ground to stand firm and tamp them.

  But at this time, there is no mechanical assistance, and it is a temporary demand. It is difficult to apply for explosives/charges, and it is too late to go through the procedures to apply, so we can only rely on manpower to plan mountains and rocks.

  This is very hard and very heavy work, and most people will grind blood blisters on their hands after digging for an hour or two.

  To this end, Feng Zhiyi specially prepared special gloves for Meng Xizhou, as well as ointment to wipe his hands. Lest he digging down the rocks for a day, his hands will be worn out.

  Meng Xizhou saw that she also wiped his hands with the ointment, but felt it was unnecessary, "The calluses on my hands are thick, it's alright, it's not so easy to rub the skin and blister."

  It's not her delicate and tender hands. , Not only looks like tofu, but also tender like tofu, you can leave a trace if you scrape it lightly.

  Feng Zhijian someone came over from a distance, and quickly put the ointment in his hand, "If you want to wipe it, don't talk nonsense! It's not so rough, it can make you look like a man!"

  This little brat!

  Meng Xizhou took it with a smile, he was just used to it, and he never wiped anything on his face, let alone his hands. But since this was her intention to take care of him, he only had sweet joy hanging from the corner of his mouth, accepting it and doing as he was told.

  After a while, the people who were assigned to this piece of mountain and rock came one after another.

  On their side, there were a total of fifty strong laborers digging mountains and rocks, eight commune members plus two educated youths—Feng Zhiyi and Li Yanhua for bagging together, and twenty strong laborers for transportation.

  With so many people in one place, they were busy all day, and only 10 carts of stones were dug out and transported to the dam.

  The efficiency can be said to be very low, Feng Zhiyi secretly dislikes it, and pure manual labor is really not enough. At this time, the country really needs industry and technology to develop.

  When he got off work in the evening, Li Yanhua looked exhausted, patted the arm that felt like he was about to lose it, and walked back together with Feng Zhiyi, while naggling, "I thought this job of pretending to be a stone was easy. It's easy, I didn't expect to be so tired, I feel like my arm is about to break."

  Feng Zhiyi rubbed her wrist gently, she felt okay. After all, she has the ability to assist at any time, otherwise she will be exhausted.

  Li Yanhua saw that she was not embarrassed at all, even a little relaxed, and couldn't help but wonder, "I didn't expect you to look at the way you can't pick your shoulders or lift your hands. You're quite capable! You really can't look like a person!"

  Feng Zhiyi rushed She smiled lightly, bragging without changing her face, "It's probably a habit."

  Meng Xizhou, who was walking behind them, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

  Feng Zhiyi turned his head back, glaring at him secretly, warning him not to dismantle her.

  Because it was raining, everyone was wearing rain gear, but Li Yanhua didn't notice that the two of them were chatting quietly, but looked enviously at how she could only be raised from pampering, "I really didn't see it, you're used to it. After rough work, you can still grow into this delicate appearance. Those who are cared for in the greenhouse are not as good as you."

  Feng Zhiyi smiled and said nothing.

  Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Li Yanhua wasn't too curious about it, and looked at the rain screen in a melancholy way, "How long can you do this job of laying stones?"

  This group of educated youths are also unlucky, and it started raining just a few days after they arrived. , I haven't earned a few work points, and I have eaten all the advance rations with the brigade. Now that she has finally got this high-point work, although she is half paralyzed from exhaustion, she still hopes to work more days.

  There are probably more than ten places on the whole mountain for planing stones like theirs. The total workload of a day is probably more than 100 cars. But the opening of the dam is so big... Feng Zhiyi estimated, "It will take at least half a month."

  Feng Zhiyi's estimate was right. Thousands of laborers in the whole team worked together, and it took half a month to plan. The rocks are worthy of being able to completely block the opening of the dam.

  At this time, the water level had already climbed half a meter above the dam. If the dam had not been blocked in time, the river would have already poured into the village.

  And this time, the heavy rain has not stopped.

  With the rapid rise of the water level of the big river, which can go up 10 centimeters a day, the brows of the brigade leader are getting tighter every day, so everyone is ready for a flood.

  Because even though the water in the big river was blocked, the water in the small rivers and creeks behind the village was full a week ago.

  At this moment, the fields and crops outside the village have all been submerged, and the ocean is everywhere. The whole village is like an island surrounded by floodwaters. Even the low-lying houses in the village have already begun to flood their houses.

  So as soon as he was busy with the dam opening, Feng Zhiyi followed Aunt Peng to quickly move the grain to a higher place—that is, between the roof and the wooden beams, there would be a triangular space like a miniature attic.

  Most families put wooden boards on the beams for storage, and the same is true for Peng's family.

  It's just that the three of them are not very strong, and the beams of the house are high, so they moved little by little, and it took two or three days to settle the food.

  This is their food for the whole year. If they are soaked by the flood, they will not have to eat.

  Fortunately, Aunt Peng's house is relatively high. As long as the dam does not collapse and the water in the river does not burst, the water in the creeks and small rivers behind the village will not be flooded here even if it rains for another two months.

  After dealing with his worries, Feng Zhiyi ran to see the blocked dam opening.

  In order to keep the bear child, she has been working in the back mountain, and she doesn't know how the dam opening is blocked? Is it firm? Have you secretly been tricked by bear children?

  After all, she couldn't watch him every second, 24 hours a day.

  Feng Zhiyi ran to the long dam covered with weeds, and saw the blocked dam mouth from a distance, like a yellow patch embedded in the green dam, which was particularly eye-catching.

  From the outside, the mouth of the dam was well-maintained, but Feng Zhiyi was worried about what was going on inside.

  Zhinao exclaimed after the inspection, "I'm going! What kind of tofu project is this!"

  "Huh?" Feng Zhiyi frowned, "I was manipulated?"

  "That's not it." Zhinao directly popped up a holographic 3D Show her a three-dimensional view, and analyze all the data and annotate it in various parts, "Look, this is a tofu project in itself."

  Although Feng Zhiyi doesn't know much about construction, the data can still be seen. understandable. Stamping and stepping on the newly built dam, I felt that it was built quite solidly, "Is it so bad?"

  He looked down and saw that the water level of the big river had climbed more than one meter above the dam, "I can't stop the water from this big river. Is it?"

  "Absolutely unstoppable!" Zhinao affirmed the data analyzed by testing, "Don't look at how juicy the water in this big river is, this vast ocean is at least a thousand meters wide, right? At the end, the water is rolling and turbulent again. The water level has risen by another three or four meters, and after soaking for three or four days, this bean curd dregs project will definitely not be able to withstand the water pressure."

  After that, he simply collected all the data and simulated it. When the water level rose by three meters, show her the scene after three days of immersion.

  Feng Zhiyi immediately saw that the newly built dam began to seep, leak, and crack.

  "Look, when the water level rises, this bean curd slag project can't be held at all." Zhinao felt that Meng Xizhou might have been wronged before, "It seems that the flood in the book is not the villain's pot."

  Feng Zhiyi was silent. Momo, and then rummaged through the space to find a large amount of seeds, and sowed them all over the newly built dykes to start urging them.

  Zhinao looked puzzled, "What are you doing, Patriarch?"

  "Reinforcement." Feng Zhiyi's men kept urging seeds.

  Zhinao immediately opened the 3D perspective, and then saw that the seeds were urged to send out dense root systems, drilled into the ground, and drilled into the newly built dam. Just like the veins of the newly built dam, densely packed and criss-crossed, like a spider web, grasping the center of the earth and the dams on both sides.

  And the solid data it analyzes is rising in a straight line.

  Zhinao saw the reminder, "It's alright, it's ok, it's firm, it's solid, and it's like gold. Patriarch, someone is here!"

  After speaking, it received the holographic projection for the first time.

  Feng Zhiyi also quickly stopped, pretending to dig wild vegetables on the dam.

  When the blurred figure in the rain got closer and closer, Feng Zhiyi realized that it was Meng Xizhou.

  Meng Xizhou also found out that it was her, and hurried forward, "Why did you come here to dig wild vegetables in such a heavy rain? I've been looking for you in the brigade for a long time."

  "I'll take a look at this newly built building . By the way, let's see where the water level is." Fengzhi's opinion was him, so he simply stopped pretending, picked up the basket and stood up, "What's the matter? Are you looking for me for something?"

  Meng Xizhou nodded solemnly. Asked, "A person I know in the provincial capital is seriously ill. Could you trouble you to help me take a look?"

  Feng Zhiyi squinted slightly, and carefully looked at his unclear expression in the heavy rain: he himself He had never asked her for help with his lame legs. How could he open his mouth to her for the sake of others when his relationship was indifferent and cold?

  Moreover, there is really a very important friend who is seriously ill, and there should be no worries on the face and eyes. If you really ask her for help for others, shouldn't there be any embarrassment on her face?

  Therefore, Feng Zhiyi suddenly stepped closer and leaned directly in front of him, "Tell me the truth."

  Meng Xizhou's body froze, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked at the eyes that were in front of him, clear, frank and trusting. He suddenly became inexplicably certain that if he didn't tell the truth this time, those eyes would look at him in the future and become distant and alienated.

  Meng Xizhou's throat became sore, "I, I dreamed last night that the flood broke the bank, and I want you to go to the provincial capital to avoid it. Anyway, there is no work in the brigade recently. You can use the excuse to visit the old chief in the provincial capital. , the captain will agree."

  Feng Zhiyi didn't expect this to be the reason, and was startled by surprise, then pretended to be funny and relaxed and didn't care, "How can the things in the dream be taken seriously? Don't worry, dreams are the opposite. "

  Meng Xi Island look dignified, said that he had, he simply stick to their ideas," but I always feel uneasy recently, the old feeling there was going to happen, you still go to the provincial capital to take a hike it. "

  wind EENOW see With his vaguely anxious and determined look, he guessed: Was that not a dream? Rather, it was a fact that he had confirmed. So, how can this bear child be so sure that the flood will burst?

  Could it be that he saw that the newly built dam mouth was a tofu slag project, and it couldn't stop the flood of water at all? Or is there any other basis?

  But he now insists that it is a dream, obviously his sources are avoiding it. And he kindly reminded her to avoid danger, and she didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

  Fengzhi thought about it for a while, and had no choice but to change the subject, "Aren't you too tired to hit rocks recently? Why are you so restless? I'll give you some restorative tea later?"

  Meng Xizhou didn't look back at her at all. I thought he was too tired to think about it, but he was helpless and anxious, "Can you accompany me to the provincial capital?"

  Feng Zhiyi looked embarrassed. , I have opened a letter of introduction here, and the old chief will know about it, and we will definitely have to find him at that time. But you also know that in the current situation, my medical skills are a blessing and a curse, and it is really inappropriate to talk to the powerful Deal with it."

  Meng Xizhou frowned, and quickly thought of a reason for her to leave, "Then..."

  "Oh, don't worry!" Feng Zhiyi interrupted him and didn't let him say more, "I can swim, even if a flood bursts the bank, it won't drown me. Besides, as soon as we leave, if the flood really breaks down here Don't you think that we are suspicious? If the casualties are heavy, the state will be held accountable, and they will be held accountable for no reason. They must find someone to take the blame for the dead. Do you think we can afford it?"

  Seeing him What more he wanted to say, Feng Zhiyi stopped him, "Besides, yours is a dream! How can we take the dream seriously and cause so much trouble to ourselves out of thin air? Isn't it nothing to find trouble?"

  Meng Xizhou didn't believe her when he saw her . His words, but he couldn't say that it happened in his previous life. He anxiously thought about it for a while, and simply relaxed his brows.

  Forget it, the big deal is that he does more precautions. When the water bursts, he will send her to a safe place as soon as possible.

  So he nodded, "I hope my dreams are all fake."

  Feng Zhi concealed his doubts and smiled.

  After two days, Meng Xizhou sent her life jackets, fresh water, dry food and other flood emergency supplies one after another for her to put away, and told her to be alert at night, she knew that he did not give up. his thoughts.

  But now that the dam mouth has been reinforced and stabilized by her, there should be no possibility of the dam bursting! She also jokingly asked Meng Xizhou, where is the dam that burst in the dream?

  Meng Xizhou also confessed to her that it was the newly blocked dam.

  To this end, Feng Zhiyi went to check the dam mouth several times, and reinforced it again and again, and was 100% sure that the dam would not be destroyed by the flood.

  Why is Meng Xizhou so certain? Watching him live a dignified day, Feng Zhiyi not only doubted, could it be an irreversible historical event? Her meager strength can't resist the trajectory of history?

  For this reason, Feng Zhiyi asked Zhinao privately, when did the flood in the book burst?

  There is no detailed record in the Zhinao storybook. It is inferred from the content before and after, probably around the Dragon Boat Festival.

  The Dragon Boat Festival is on the 8th of June, that's just a few days away. Just in case, Feng Zhi unwittingly sprinkled the village with the seeds of a mutant root plant.

  Time entered June with Feng Zhiyi's doubts and uncertainty, and the heavy rain finally showed signs of stopping. The water in the fields behind the village also stopped the momentum of marching towards the village and gradually slowed down.

  The people in the brigade showed relaxation and joy on their faces, thinking that this year's flood was finally over.

  Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Feng Zhiyi heard a distant but majestic rumbling sound vaguely in his sleep.

  At the same time, Zhinao gave a sharp alarm in his ears: "Homeowner! Wake up! The flood has burst!"
