Chapter 272:
The smooth journey was broken after entering Guangdong Province. As soon as the train entered the province, it encountered heavy rain. In order to prevent unexpected problems on the road ahead, it had to move forward at a snail's pace.
After driving for several hours, we finally found that the road ahead was flooded due to heavy rain and we had to stop.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. The flooded section of the road was a deserted area with no village in front and no shop behind. If the accumulated water on the railway track could not be dealt with as soon as possible, it was very likely that the train would be flooded here.
After learning the severity of the situation, the passengers on the train quickly and spontaneously organized themselves to get off the train to help drain the water. However, it was pitch dark, the rain was pouring down, and there were mountains on both sides. How could the train conductor allow anyone to get off the train?
But if the water is not drained, the train may be flooded and the passengers may be trapped here.
☆
After a heated argument, the train conductor and the enthusiastic crowd finally backed down, deciding to send five representatives from each car. In Xiao Yu's car, the youngest were already in their compartment; the others were either elderly, looked unwell, or were on business trips and unwilling to leave.
In the end, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yan became the second representatives, leaving Gangzi and Monkey in the car to take care of the children. There were not enough tools on the car, so more than 80% of the people, including Xiao Yu and Zhou Yan, had to get out of the car empty-handed and wait a while to see if they could use their hands to dig.
Zhou Yan and Xiao Yu both wore raincoats. The old man had someone give Zhou Yan these raincoats when he first started working, saying that he was worried that his grandson might encounter rainy days while at work.
The moment the door opened, the heavy rain made Xiao Yu feel as if their train was parked right under a waterfall.
But the chosen ones hardly hesitated, striding into the rain. Using the train's specially turned-on lights, they quickly reached the flooded area ahead of the train.
In fact, at this moment, the first two carriages of the train were already flooded, and the water level was at least 20 to 30 centimeters high.
☆
When Xiao Yu was in the car before, he used his spiritual sense to observe that there was no place here to drain water normally. Because there were mountains on both sides, and there was a cave in the front with a water level as high as one meter.
If we don't drill a hole in the ground, the water won't be able to drain out.
Originally, there were not only drainage ditches on both sides of the track, but also drainage channels were specially dug, so normal heavy rain and rainstorms were not a problem at all.
Xiao Yu estimated that the heavy rain had been going on for more than just one or two days. Not only were the canals full, but the drainage ditches near the tracks were also filled with a large amount of mud that had slid down from the mountains on both sides.
Xiao Yu used his spiritual sense to look again. The mountains on both sides were very high and steep. If this were a novel, according to the plot, if they didn't leave here quickly, they would definitely encounter a landslide.
Of course, with him here, landslides will definitely not happen.
☆
"Brother, there are fish! (Snap, (⊙o⊙)... Four words, a hundred incense sticks! It's raining so hard, can't you just close your ears? o(╥﹏╥)o)" Xiao Yu walked along the track for a while, and suddenly heard a noise in the drainage ditch on the side. He shone the flashlight in his raincoat, his eyes lit up, and without waiting for the reaction of the people around him, he jumped in.
When the people who heard his voice looked over, they saw him kick out a huge black fish weighing at least 30 kilograms, as big as a five or six-year-old child, from the mud ditch.
When Zhou Yan heard the sound, he knew that Comrade Xiaoyu was about to start! In order to cooperate with him, he quickly pulled a handful of wormwood from the side and helped tie up the fish.
I don’t know if I disturbed the black fish’s nest. Just when I had lifted up the big black fish weighing more than 30 kilograms with great effort, Xiao Yu found a second one weighing at least 20 kilograms in the mud of the ditch.
The fish took advantage of the water's momentum and tried to bite people, but was knocked unconscious by Xiao Yu's slap.
After finally getting the second one up, Xiao Yu discovered the third, fourth, and fifth, followed by a number of yellow croakers, loaches, and a large turtle...
The strangest thing was that the two men seemed to have prepared the yellow bone fish and loaches in advance. They took out cloth bags from their pockets and put them in.
Everyone:——
☆
"Wow!" Xiao Yu continued walking in the ditch, with no intention of going ashore. His harvest left many people who came down to do their work stunned and gradually became envious.
Suddenly, a black monster weighing at least fifty or sixty kilograms and more than one meter long jumped in front of Xiao Yu. The monster opened its mouth wide and bit towards Xiao Yu.
How could Xiao Yu let it bite him? He punched it head-on, knocking the fish directly into the ditch. Fearing that the fish would counterattack, he chased after it and kicked it several times.
The accident happened at this moment. Xiao Yu was stepping hard on the fish head when a big hole suddenly appeared under his feet. If Zhou Yan had not been quick-eyed and quick-handed, he would have fallen into the pit together with the black monster weighing fifty or sixty kilograms.
"Splash--" At this moment, the water in the drainage ditch and the blocked yellow mud flowed into the pit like a flood, and flowed very quickly.
By the time everyone recovered from their shock, most of the water on their track had flowed into the pothole.
☆
"What are you standing there for? Take the tools and bring the water over here." A middle-aged man who had chatted with Xiao Yu before shouted.
Everyone reacted immediately.
Because of this hole, the railway drainage project, which would have taken more than three hours, was completed in less than an hour.
The strangest thing is that during the drainage process, the yellow mud that was originally blocked in the drainage ditch also flowed into the cave with the water.
When getting in the car, the middle-aged uncle patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you stew the fish, remember to ask me to have a bowl too!"
