Chapter 1042: The Flood Rushed Down, Little Haizi Was Preserved

This sheep slaughtering in the Li family lasted for five days. These five days were all sunny. By the time the sheep slaughtering activity was nearing its end, the road surface was basically dry.

Every day during these days, twenty or thirty sheep could be slaughtered, and every day someone took the sheep offal home—some who worked more, or those who came more, could take a whole set of offal home, and some who helped less could take a stomach, a liver, or a lung home, and could also have a beautiful meal.

Uncle Uncle Lao Luo would boil meat or offal every day. When the students who finished school passed by the Old Horse Corral, those who were brave, or those whose family members were helping at the sheep slaughtering site, would go into the courtyard to eat half a bowl of offal and gnaw on a piece of naan, and they wouldn't even need to eat when they got home.

During this period, the sky over the entire Fourth Team was filled with a thick smell of meat. Some students went to school, and when they urinated in the school toilet, it was all a smell of mutton. The dogs in the team could catch up with improving their food during this period. Some owners were quite generous and gave the dogs some offal to eat.

Even if they didn't give meat to eat, the food boiled for pigs and dogs was all oily and had a taste.

On the last day, the people who came to help finished up. Not only did they have to collect the sheepskins, but they also had to wash the used sacks clean. At this time, there were quite a few people who came to help. Although there was less food to eat, working always has a beginning and an end. You can't say that there were many people when eating mutton, but when it came to working at the end, people didn't come—people who don't want their faces are still a minority.

Just when these people were working, suddenly they could hear a rumbling sound from the south, from the direction of Little Haizi, and the movement was quite large!

At first, everyone didn't know what was going on. Uncle Uncle Lao Luo, who had stayed in the team for a long time, changed his face:

"The flood is coming!"

Such a big movement, rarely seen in so many years, Uncle Uncle Lao Luo looked at Li Long and said: "Xiao Long, this flood... definitely not small!"

Having not heard such a big movement for so many years, Li Long himself had no bottom in his heart.

Although the team contributed labor earlier, letting the young and strong together clear the flood-prevention canals on both sides of Little Haizi, and Li Jianguo drove the tractor to push the north dam line thicker and higher.

But when the flood really came down, he couldn't be sure whether Little Haizi could hold it.

If it can hold it, then the big fish in Little Haizi can be preserved. If it can't hold it, it is very likely that not only the fish in Little Haizi cannot be preserved, but even the reed ditch bridge and the main canals in front of several residential areas cannot be preserved.

The flood will cause disaster, and then it will be a carnival of catching fish, and finally, it will be the decline of Little Haizi.

Li Long urgently wanted to see the situation of the flood. He said to Uncle Uncle Lao Luo:

"Uncle Uncle Lao Luo, you watch here, I'll go up and see now, see the flood situation. If it's good, I'll come back, if it's not good, I'll go notify people to prevent floods..."

"Then you be careful!"

"Xiao Long, bring the iron shovel!" Yang Laoliu shouted from behind just as Li Long was about to get into the jeep, "If there is any situation, you can use it!"

Li Long responded, took the iron shovel, put it in from the back seat, and then drove the jeep toward Little Haizi.

The soil on the road was still a bit soft, the surface was dry, and the bottom was not completely dry, but Li Long couldn't care about that much at this time. He stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep drove fast on the road. In some places, there were mud spots thrown up, and the jeep that Li Long had just washed clean had more marks on it again.

Before reaching Little Haizi, Li Long had already seen that the water in the reed ditch was as deep as a thigh.

Usually, the water in the main canal on the side of Little Haizi does not pass into the reed ditch, but is directly connected to the branch canal below by the main canal.

But this time, for flood prevention, an opening was directly opened under the main canal when clearing the canal, allowing the possible flood to flow directly into the reed ditch, discharging the water volume of the flood as much as possible.

Of course, this is the west flood-prevention canal. The water in the east flood-prevention canal can only go east through the main canal. Although the east side also has a reed ditch, the distance is relatively far.

The reeds in the reed ditch were cut off in early winter. At that time, there was no water in the reed ditch, and the stubble left after cutting the reeds was twenty or thirty centimeters high. Now the water is almost level with the reed stubble, and it is still rising, directly floating the thick layer of reed leaves on the ground.

Li Long drove the jeep all the way to Little Haizi, parked the jeep in a high place, took the iron shovel from the side of the back seat, and rushed directly onto the north dam line.

The water level in Little Haizi had risen quite a bit, less than one meter from the top of the dam. You could see that the originally clear water had turned into a flood, and the swirling water was floating with gray foam, as well as some debris and garbage, impacting the dam body.

The west flood-prevention canal made a rumbling sound, and a large amount of water backflowed from Little Haizi and flowed into the reed ditch through the flood-prevention canal.

There is a drop of nearly two meters from the flood-prevention canal to the reed ditch. At this time, the huge water flow rushed down and then fell below, making a huge sound, quite a bit of the momentum of the Hukou Waterfall.

I don't know if it was an eye flower or what, Li Long actually saw a big fish being wrapped by the flood and washed down, hitting the water surface at the head of the reed ditch, and then disappeared while spinning.

Maybe I saw it wrong?

The impact of the flood is very large. The opening dug at the flood-prevention canal and the reed ditch mouth was washed wider and wider. It was two meters wide before, and now it has become more than three meters. The soil on both sides is still being washed away and rolled away, and the opening is still expanding.

Later, when the flood passes, it will be troublesome to repair the main canal.

But at this time, he couldn't care about this. Li Long could see that this flood was rising very fast. In just this while, the water level in Little Haizi rose by another twenty centimeters.

He ran to the water outlet of Little Haizi and saw that the sluice gate was raised to the highest, and the flood poured down from the cement sluice gate, flowed into the main canal, and surged downstream at high speed.

The water gate has been opened to the highest, but the speed of water flowing out is far from being as fast as flowing in.

Fortunately, the dam body of the north dam line is thick enough. The three or four-meter soil dam body was reinforced some time ago, and at this time, there is no sign of being washed away.

Li Long walked along the north dam line again and did not find any place with piping, indicating that the dam body is still very strong.

The rumbling sound is still increasing, and the amount of water discharged into the reed ditch through the flood-prevention canal is still increasing. Li Long was slightly relieved. If it goes on like this, Little Haizi should be able to be preserved, right?

He stayed on the dam body for nearly half an hour, and the flood did not see any decrease, but the rising speed of the water level in Little Haizi slowly stopped, less than forty centimeters from the top of the dam.

A group of people rushed over. Li Long looked at the leader, who was team leader Xu Chengjun.

"The flood rushed directly onto the reed ditch bridge," Xu Chengjun said as soon as he came over, "Our reed ditch bridge looked quite big before, but now it seems a bit small. This flood rushed onto the road. Now your eldest brother is leading people to dig soil to block it there. If this flood continues for a period of time without decreasing, the road will be broken."

"The students haven't finished school yet..." The first thing Li Long thought of was this.

"That's fine, north of the bridge, the section of the reed ditch between the Third Team and our west residential area is relatively flat. Even if the water falls, it won't exceed the thigh root. If the reed ditch bridge is really broken, then send some backbone militia to guard there and move the children over."

Well, since he had already thought of it, Li Long had nothing more to say.

The only hope is that Little Haizi will not be washed away, and the reed ditch bridge will not be washed away.

He thought that the possibility of the bridge being washed away is not high. The biggest possibility is that the road in the middle of the reed ditch will be broken.

When the reed ditch bridge was repaired, it was chosen at the deepest part of the reed ditch. This section of the reed ditch is two hundred meters wide, the bridge is only twenty meters wide, and the remaining eighty meters is a road piled up directly with soil. If the flood is too large, the water flow in the bridge will not be able to pass in time, and it will submerge the bridge deck. If it is larger, it may wash out a gap in that section of the dirt road.

Of course, no one can say the final situation.

"The water level is no longer rising," Xie Yun Dong, who followed Xu Chengjun, looked at the water surface and said, "It's stable."

"That's good," Xu Chengjun himself also squeezed a cold sweat. He scolded Xu Youdao at the meeting before, and later led people to work, and everyone had no opinion. At that time, working was still quite troublesome, after all, it was not completely dry. But no matter what, he led the militia to work hard, and now it is time to check the results.

If he did the work with a bad reputation, but in the end, it didn't achieve the effect, and the flood washed away Little Haizi and the reed ditch bridge, wouldn't it be in vain?

Thinking is thinking, but it didn't show on the surface. Looking at the water level stopping, the rumbling sound in the west didn't seem so harsh, Xu Chengjun walked around the dam line and finally determined that the water level was stable. ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
