Chapter 2192

From the night of the 20th, there was no moon in the sky. After the sky was slightly bright, everyone could see that the sky was full of dark clouds, which was gloomy and made people feel palpitations when they looked at it.

The strong laborers who returned home yesterday all returned to the embankment and returned to their battlefield. Those cadres and workers of various units in the county left a part to deal with the upcoming heavy rain and flood peak, and the other part returned to their units, because the daily work of the county also had to operate and could not be stagnant.

At this critical moment of flood control and rescue, there were more and busier affairs in the county, so there must be no shortage of manpower. In fact, many people in the county's administrative and public institutions were also working overtime.

On this day, Su Xinghui also went up to the embankment early in the morning before dawn, because the weather forecast had heavy rain, and this weather was also terribly gloomy. It seemed that a heavy rain was inevitable. After the heavy rain, there should also be a flood peak, so Su Xinghui had to stay on the front line of flood control.

For the whole morning, the sky was gloomy. Until it was almost noon, suddenly a thunderclap sounded. The sound of this thunderclap was so loud that it was like exploding in everyone's ears, making everyone tremble all over.

Immediately after, a lightning bolt like a long snake tore through the sky. The sky seemed to have been torn open by this lightning, and raindrops as big as soybeans poured down, and they were exceptionally dense, just like someone holding a huge water basin in the sky and pouring water down.

Su Xinghui couldn't help but look up. These raindrops were big and urgent, and they hurt when they hit his face. This heavy rain didn't seem to be smaller than the heavy rain more than a month ago.

In fact, for more than a month, the heavy rain in the Changjiang Basin had not stopped, but the area of rainfall had changed. Initially, it was in the middle and lower reaches of the Changjiang, where it rained for more than half a month, then moved to the upper reaches of the Changjiang, and had been raining until now, and now the rain area had moved to the middle reaches of the Changjiang.

For more than a month, the river embankments along the Changjiang had not been able to get a moment of breathing space. The water level had always been kept above the warning water level, and everyone's nerves had to be tense at all times, so their fatigue could be imagined.

Now it was another heavy rain. This year's flood was really not stopping for a moment. However, if it wasn't like this, how could it be called a major flood?

However, the flood control personnel on the scene had been on the embankment for a month, and they were already accustomed to such scenes. When the heavy rain started, except for that thunderclap that was unusually loud, everyone was not moved by this pouring rain at all. They were orderly and began the flood control and rescue work according to their respective duties.

This heavy rain lasted for a whole day and didn't stop at all until night. After Su Xinghui arranged the flood control and rescue work, he went to several low-lying villages in the afternoon to inspect the water accumulation there.

Low-lying terrain was not good for this. Once there was heavy rain, there would be water accumulation, not to mention such heavy rain. Therefore, these villages soon had water accumulation.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared this time, and there were quite a few tents donated by Yu Ruizhi's charity foundation. For example, Jingbao Village had set up quite a few tents at the west end of the village with high terrain, and families who built houses in low-lying areas could temporarily live in tents.

In short, the situation in these villages was still relatively good now, and there was no flustered mood. Everyone was doing things step by step to resist the heavy rain and water accumulation. Su Xinghui looked at the situation in the village and felt relieved.

The heavy rain lasted until the morning of the 22nd before it eased a little. However, after more than an hour, the rainwater reorganized and poured down again, and the water level in the river rose again. When the water level in the river rose, everyone's hearts were also pulled up.

Although the flood peak last month was resisted, the two flood peaks this month were obviously unkind, one higher than the other. Although the quality of the embankments in Chongjin County was good, the water level continued to rise, and everyone had no bottom in their hearts about whether it could resist such a high water level.

In this way, this rain lasted for three days before it stopped. Sunlight appeared in the sky, but on the day the rain stopped, the Changjiang flood peak struck again. This flood peak was fierce, and the embankments in several counties and cities around Chongjin County were in emergency one after another.
