When Du Yan pounced on Chu Yilan, he could even feel the huge momentum of the water behind him squeezing him earlier! He almost flew up and threw Chu Yilan into the huge trough. Before he could feel the pain of their bodies colliding together, the flood behind him instantly lifted up the entire empty frame house! The trough was spinning rapidly in the water, and the wreckage of the empty house that had been completely destroyed by the flood was thrown in all directions. Du Yan pressed tightly on Chu Yilan and buried his head low. There was a turbulent wave all around, and as Chu Yilan Lan's exclamation, Du Yan first felt a darkness in his head, and then with a sharp pain on his back, he fainted instantly! When the news of the breach of the Qiujiaao embankment reached the county, Li Peizheng was leading people to inspect the banks of the Xiaoqing River in the county. When he heard the news, Li Peizheng's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly led people back to the county party committee compound. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the compound, he met Guo Songlin, who was commanding several vehicles filled with various flood-fighting supplies and commanding a convoy. As he was about to rush to Qiujia'ao, Li Peizheng immediately went up to discuss countermeasures with Guo Songlin. Guo Songlin's face was gloomy. He heard the news earlier than Li Peizheng, so he had sent people to Qiujia'ao in advance to support him. But now he looked at Li Peizheng, and he was waiting for Li Peizheng to speak. "Du Yan has an unshirkable responsibility," Li Peizheng said fiercely. At this time, no one can get rid of the responsibility. Whoever gets into trouble will be responsible. "I will go to Qiujia'ao in person now. Lao Guo You should worry more about the situation at hand." Guo Songlin nodded silently. He had a slightly gloomy personality. Unlike Ren Shuqiang, he would not show it immediately even if he did have the upper hand. At this time, Li Peizheng had no time to think about what Guo Songlin was thinking. He got into the car anxiously and directed the convoy to drive towards Qiujia'ao. Li Peizheng frowned along the way. When he was alone, he began to think about the possible impact of this incident. ¡°In fact, both Li Peizheng and Guo Songlin knew very well that danger in Qiujia¡¯ao was almost inevitable. Since a large-scale bank breach occurred in the upper reaches of the Daqing River, in order to ensure the safety of Ningcheng, the capital of Ganning Province, and in accordance with instructions from superiors, two reservoirs along the way have been ordered to release floodwaters. It was precisely because of this that Li Peizheng hinted to Du Yan to be careful during the phone call the day before. In fact, when he said this, Li Peizheng felt a little guilty. He was the one who assigned the left-behind river section to Du Yan. Now that he thinks about it, , by doing so, he undoubtedly ruined Du Yan's future with his own hands. The terrain of Qiujia'ao is low-lying, like a small basin. At least people don't worry that the floods from the bursting of the embankments will rush towards the county seat immediately. However, the safety of hundreds of villagers in Qiujia'ao has become the most worrying thing. Li Peizheng even felt his scalp numb when he thought of the casualties that would occur after the levee breached. "Don't talk about others, maybe I, as the county party committee secretary, will be done with it," Li Peizheng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, when they heard about the release of water from upstream, he and Guo Songlin already knew that they might not be able to escape this disaster, but they suddenly They hadn't thought too much when they heard the news of the dam break. Now that they had calmed down a little, Li Peizheng couldn't help but worry about his future fate. But there is no use even worrying. Li Peizheng told himself that he must calm down as soon as possible. Maybe he will soon face a terrible scene after a disaster, with countless families destroyed and people killed. "Xiao Chen, remember, don't be impulsive no matter what happens for a while," Li Peizheng suddenly told his secretary Xiao Chen and the driver who were sitting in the front passenger seat, "I will also inform the comrades from the County Public Security Bureau who came with me, if Whenever a crowd behaves excessively and refuses to fight back or retaliate, whoever causes a conflict with the crowd and triggers a bigger incident due to lack of calmness will be held politically responsible! " "Secretary, why don't you go there first?" Xiao Chen said worriedly, "I'll go, I'll go for you." Seeing Xiao Chen's anxious look, Li Peizheng's cheeks twitched slightly, showing a hard smile, "How can I, the county party committee secretary, not step forward at this time?" "Where is County Magistrate Guo? Why didn't County Magistrate Guo come?" Xiao Chen was a little excited. He even called out Guo Songlin's name without hesitation. "Why must you go to such a thing? Why doesn't County Magistrate Guo come?" Just hide behind. ""Xiao Chen, pay attention to your attitude!" Li Peizheng shouted. Xiao Chen and the driver have been with him for almost two years. They can be said to be true people, but even so, Li Peizheng cannot condone it. The secretary directly said such words that others would take advantage of. But looking at the aggrieved look on Xiao Chen's face, Li Peizheng sighed, "County Magistrate Guo has his own work, and I am the secretary. The secretary will not stand up at this time." How can it be done? "The special political system created by the unique domestic political environment allows party leaders at all levels to not only have?The actual power has also become the representative or even incarnation of the party. Because of this, in the face of sudden disasters, the secretary as the leader has accordingly assumed greater responsibilities than the pure chief executive. Now that the Qiujia'ao embankment has burst, Li Peizheng could guess the terrible scene that might occur without even thinking about it. Because of this, he had previously ordered the policemen from the County Public Security Bureau who followed him to keep their weapons safe, and this Shi Geng also ordered the secretary to emphasize controlling emotions to avoid greater conflicts with agitated villagers. People who have lost their families and homes are irrational and even terrifying. What they are about to face is definitely not the touching scene in the propaganda. It might even cost someone their life! Thinking of these, beads of sweat overflowed on Li Peizheng's already sweaty forehead. When the convoy climbed a steep slope along the muddy dirt road, a police car in front suddenly sounded a sharp horn. Li Peizheng immediately realized that there might be something wrong. He said hello and jumped out before the car stopped. With the help of Xiao Chen, he stepped on the mud that reached his feet and climbed towards the top of the slope. Reaching the top of the slope, Li Peizheng was stunned by the scene in front of him! A large group of people covered in mud, whose faces could not be distinguished at all, and who could not even tell the difference between men and women, were slowly walking up the slope. They were staggering, and many of them needed help from others. Except for a small number of them, they were holding bags and cages. Most of them were carrying things, and most of them were empty-handed. Behind them, a few soldiers who could only vaguely identify their military uniforms were walking around the outside of the crowd while maintaining order. Xiao Chen took a step forward and wanted to block Li Peizheng, but Li Peizheng grabbed his arm and slowly pushed him aside. "Secretary Li" "I am the Secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee." Li Peizheng said word for word. He knew that it was him at this time. What must be faced is that no matter what, he has been given the power of county party secretary, so now is the time for him to take responsibility. A man covered in mud ran over with a shovel in his hand. A police officer immediately reached out to stop him, but was stopped by the man's roar: "Let me go, I am Qiu Lianfu, secretary of the Qiujia'ao Party branch!" "The police officer showed a look of disbelief, but Li Peizheng had already walked over at this time. Although he didn't know Qiu Lianfu, he knew that he couldn't hide behind him at this time. "I am Li Peizheng, Secretary of the Pingling County Party Committee!" "Secretary Li, I am Qiu Lianfu, Secretary of the Qiujia'ao Party Branch," Qiu Lianfu pushed aside the policeman in front of him and came to Li Peizheng. Of course he knew Li Peizheng, but when he wanted When he continued to speak, his nose suddenly became sore, he stretched out his big muddy hands to cover his mouth and choked, "Secretary Li, we, our Qiujiaao" "Comrade Lianfu, we all understand your mood. Now This is not the time to feel sad. We have brought relief supplies and will accommodate everyone. Please tell me first what the casualties are." Li Peizheng felt his voice trembling slightly when he asked this. He was afraid of the terrible numbers he was about to hear. . "Many people have been injured, some of them are serious. We need to find a solution quickly," Qiu Lianfu choked and said, "And, and" "Anything else, tell me quickly!" Li Peizheng's face turned red. If he hadn't looked at Qiu Lianfu like this, , he lost his temper a long time ago. "Director Du and Deputy County Magistrate Chu are also missing. Secretary Li, we really sent people to look for them, but they haven't been found yet. Secretary Li, please send people to find Director Du and the others quickly." "What?" Li Peizheng was stunned, and then he suddenly remembered that it seemed that Chu Yilan came here to support the night before, and then he heard nothing about her. When Li Peizheng wanted to come, Chu Yilan would only come here to show off. , will leave after leaving the support team. But now I heard from Qiu Lianfu that not only had Chu Yilan not left all night, but she even disappeared, which surprised Li Peizheng! But although he was shocked, he couldn't show it. After all, he was facing the people who had just been affected by the disaster. If he showed too much concern for a cadre, it would have a very bad impact. "Comrade Lian Fu, tell me how many deaths there have been in Qiujia'ao. I want you to tell me the truth as a party member." Li Peizheng asked with a livid face. He knew that the cadres below liked to report good news but not bad news. In fact, He had done this himself, but the situation was different now. Seeing that Qiu Lianfu never said the number of fatalities, he was secretly frightened and already prepared for the worst. "No, Secretary Li, no one died except for the seriously injured." After Qiu Lianfu finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Li Peizheng's hand with such strength that Li Peizheng couldn't help but snorted, "Secretary Li, please send someone to find Director Du and the others quickly. It¡¯s really dangerous!¡± ¡°No one died? Really no one died?¡± Li Peizheng asked in disbelief, but then he discovered thatWhat question was inappropriate? He lowered his voice and asked Qiu Lianfu, "Comrade Lianfu, can you guarantee that what you said is true?" "I guarantee it with my party spirit," Qiu Lianfu showed displeasure on his face, but he immediately Realizing that his attitude was wrong, "It's really Secretary Li. Fortunately, Director Du evacuated all the elderly and children in the village to a safe place in advance, and then he asked all the villagers who participated in the berm not to stay in the depression. Just in case, a few boys still disobeyed and got injured, but not seriously. It's just Director Du and County Magistrate Chu who are in trouble. " "Xiao Du, how are you doing with Director Du?" Only now did Li Peizheng ask. "Director Du stayed on the embankment for a day and a night. He took a break when he was too tired. He happened to catch up with the embankment breach. I don't know what happened now. There is also County Magistrate Chu. Some people saw her helping to evacuate the village. I don¡¯t know where he went afterwards,¡± Qiu Lianfu said while looking at Li Peizheng uneasily. "Secretary Li, Secretary Li." A weak gasping voice came from the crowd. Li Peizheng looked around and saw Mayor Mao being carried by two villagers. Li Peizheng immediately frowned. He knew that Mayor Mao was a die-hard supporter of Guo Songlin. He had supported Guo Songlin at the party committee many times. Although he seemed to have an ugly face when he saw Lao Mao, he actually let the villagers carry him. He was already very anxious. In my heart, a ball of anger immediately arose. "Lao Mao, you are quite comfortable, let the masses carry you, do you really think you are an official?" Li Peizheng asked in a low voice. "Secretary Li, Mayor Mao is injured," Qiu Lianfu quickly explained, "Mayor Mao was hit by a pole when he was rescuing the children in the village. Everyone took the initiative to lift him." "Oh?" Li Peizheng was slightly startled. He didn't expect Mao. The mayor was actually injured because of rescuing people. Just when he was about to speak, Mayor Mao hurriedly said: "Secretary Li, please quickly send someone to find Chu County Magistrate Director Du and the others. Comrades in the army I went to look for him, but there was no news. " "Okay, Lao Mao, don't worry about this. Just rest and recover. I will send someone to find Xiao Du and the others." Li Peizheng comforted him after saying a few words. Mayor Mao stopped coughing. He really didn't expect Mayor Mao to be so worried about Du Yan's safety. While talking, the rescue team had already joined the villagers of Qiujia'ao. As several soldiers ran over, a second lieutenant came to Li Peizheng and stood at attention and saluted: "Report to Secretary Li, we are escorting the people of Qiujia'ao on the order of the captain. "Thank you to the comrades in the army." Li Peizheng immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands with the second lieutenant. The army and the local area had their own systems, and until now, although Li Peizheng knew that some units had begun to help local flood relief. , but as far as he knew, no such troops had entered Pingling so far. Thinking about it this way, Li Peizheng was certain that these soldiers were here to help Du Yan. "Secretary Li, our captain is leading people to look for Director Du and others nearby." The second lieutenant reported to Li Peizheng. "I'm going to take a look. Xiao Chen asked everyone who could be spared to follow me." Only then did Li Peizheng finally reveal his anxiety. Du Yan was Li Peizheng's former secretary. Everyone in the Pingling officialdom was well-known, and Chu Yilan had an extraordinary background. However, both of them disappeared when the Qiujiaao embankment burst. The news spread instantly. Word spreads in Pingling! When she heard that her son had an accident, Sang Shulan almost fainted immediately. Although Du Zhenhai was still calm, Tu Xiangdong, who sent the news, found that Du Zhenhai's hand holding his wife could not help but tremble. Du Zhenhai and his wife were immediately invited to the county party committee compound. When they saw them, cadres who were familiar with them or not came up to express their condolences. No matter what kind of thoughts they had in doing so at this time, there was something in the Pingling County Party Committee compound. It is a rare scene where the attitudes are astonishingly consistent. Near noon, Cui Jianbin and Ren Shuqiang, who had already heard the news, called each other. Even Zhang Wenliang asked his secretary to inquire about the situation. Guo Songlin, who answered the phone, always answered with the same words: " Not found yet. " What made many people emotional was that after Qiu Lianfu had roughly arranged the villagers, he rushed to the county party committee compound. In front of a large group of bystanders, a strong man in his forties knelt down to Du Zhenhai and his wife. , and then kowtowed "bang bang bang"! Sang Shulan cried bitterly, and Du Zhenhai pulled Qiu Lianfu up hard. The corners of his mouth could not help trembling, but he said fiercely: "What is this? What is this? This is what Du Yan does! He should save people, Qiu Party Secretary, if you do this, you are scolding Du Yan! " "Master Du, someone from our village has followed the army to find Director Du and the others. I just came to see you. Now I have to go back." Qiu Lianfu nodded and left without leaving. After a few steps, he turned back to Du ZhenhaiThe couple said, "Master Du, don't worry, we won't stop if we can't find Director Du!" At noon, a phone call alerted the entire Pingling County Party Committee Dayuan. The call was from Taihua, but when Tu Xiangdong, who answered the phone, heard the other party announcing in a calm tone that he was a provincial government cadre "surnamed Liao", Tu Xiangdong immediately realized who the other party was. "Hello Liao Chu, does Governor Gao have any instructions?" Tu Xiangdong hurriedly responded while hinting to the people around him to immediately call Guo Songlin, who was left behind in the county committee. "Director Tu, right?" Secretary Liao said in a calm voice. "That's it. Governor Gao heard that County Magistrate Chu and Director Du in Pingling had an accident during rescue and disaster relief. Governor Gao asked me to ask if it is necessary What help? Governor Gao has already said hello to the main leaders of the Provincial Military Region. If necessary, the Provincial Military Region can arrange personnel to search for the missing persons. " "Liao Chu, thank you Governor Gao for your concern," Tu Xiangdong trembled slightly, Gao Ke. He actually asked in person, which neither he nor anyone else had expected. Although he guessed that what Gao Ke really cared about was Chu Yilan's safety, at least Du Yan's name had remained in Gao Ke's heart. If Director Xiao Du really succeeds in adversity this time, his future may be limitless. But then Tu Xiangdong was secretly frightened, and even beads of sweat began to flow down his forehead! Because he immediately thought, what if something happens to Miss Chu? Then maybe the whole Pingling will be turned upside down. Guo Songlin didn't catch Secretary Liao's call in time. When he arrived, he saw Tu Xiangdong looking at the phone in a trance. Although he was annoyed, Guo Songlin couldn't blame Tu Xiangdong. After all, the initiative lay with him. But just when he was about to turn around and leave, the phone on the table rang again. Tu Xiangdong instinctively grabbed the phone. At this time, every time the phone rang, it was a kind of torture for him. Immediately, Guo Songlin noticed that Tu Xiangdong looked at him strangely. Then after saying "Please wait a moment", Tu Xiangdong covered the phone and whispered to Guo Songlin: "It's a call from the office of the Provincial Executive Vice Governor. The other party claimed to be Governor Yang's secretary." Guo Songlin's face His muscles twitched slightly. He really didn't expect that his small county could only receive calls from two big bosses in the provincial government in one day. By this time, Guo Songlin had already guessed that Yang Weiquan's secretary must have called because of Chu. The matter between Yilan and Du Yan. Guo Songlin answered the phone cautiously. To his surprise, the director of the vice-governor's office, who claimed to be surnamed Liu, first gave instructions in the name of Yang Weiquan to do his best to solve the problem. The missing person was found, and then when the phone call was about to end, he said again, "Governor Yang is very concerned about Director Du and asked me to tell Secretary Li and County Magistrate Guo in Pingling, please take heed." Hearing this sentence Guo Songlin's heart immediately twitched when he said this! Du Yan! The real purpose of Yang Weiquan making this call was actually for Du Yan! Guo Songlin never expected that things would turn out like this. Although he knew some of Du Yan's background, not to mention that he had recently shown his face in front of Gao Ke, he never really regarded Du Yan as someone with a big background. . After all, Du Yan was born and raised in Pingling. His parents were still waiting for news in the lounge at this time. They were a pair of ordinary workers. The reason why Du Yan became a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee was simply because he seized the opportunity and published several articles that attracted attention from above. Guo Songlin knew all this, but now he heard that Yang Weiquan's secretary actually called because of Du Yan instead of Chu Yilan, which made Guo Songlin secretly take a breath. When did Xiao Pingling actually raise so many big deep-water fishes? Looking at the sky that was suddenly clear and cloudy outside the window, Guo Songlin couldn't help but have a wave of complex thoughts in his heart. The scorching sun on the top of her head made her dizzy. Chu Yilan opened her eyes slightly, and then she was choked by the earthy smell and coughed. She thought about it, but the heavy pressure on her body prevented her from even raising her arms. As she slowly adapted to the light in front of her eyes, Chu Yilan found that she was being pressed underneath her! Chu Yilan immediately instinctively pushed hard, but Du Yan who was pressing on her only moved slightly and had no reaction. This made Chu Yilan unable to bear it anymore. She could no longer control the consequences of being seen. As she pushed hard, Du Yan's body was pushed to the side of the trough, and then she The boy sat up from the trough! But when she saw the scene outside, Chu Yilan couldn't help but be stunned. The trough was stuck on a sandbar in the river made of silt, river sand, tree trunks and a ruined wall washed away by the flood.Although it has slowed down slightly, the rapid flood is still flowing forward. "Where are we?" Chu Yilan asked in a panic. When she found that she didn't get a response, she looked back and was shocked to find that Du Yan had his eyes closed and was unconscious!
