"Those who idle away their time will lose their youth and life will abandon them." Mr. Hugo's words tell the youth that they should strive constantly and always be youthful. Youth is the most vivid blood of society, youth is the most passionate power of The Times, youth is the barometer of The Times. As the geological prospecting youth of Muli ecological comprehensive improvement project, they should be brave enough to shoulder the responsibility of the project and carry forward the spirit of Muli.

During the National Day holiday, when the whole country celebrates, Li Xiao and LAN Tingnan, as the management staff of Muli Project, stick to this no man's land. The outbreak of the epidemic made the originally planned shift staff unable to arrive, two people have not remembered this is their duty for the number of days, support them is a kind of faith and responsibility - to protect the soil and green achievements, stand the last guard!

On September 28, just after breakfast, Li Xiao and LAN Tingnan set foot on their daily patrol to the No. 5 well. There had been a heavy snow a few days before, and with a vague sense of unease at the apparent accumulation of water in the pit, they quickened their pace.

When they came to the Dongkeng drainage ditch to check, they found that the outflow of water significantly reduced. After video communication with the person in charge of Muli Project of Qinghai Bureau, they carefully inspected all the way along the drainage ditch and found that the surface sediment was carried into the water flow due to hydraulic denudation, resulting in nearly 300m silt blockage at the drainage ditch and outlet on the east side of spot 8-4 of Well No. 5.

Outlet blockage, will lead to water can not be discharged, once frozen, several years of soil and green achievements will be destroyed.

The situation is urgent, and immediately reported to the person in charge for approval, they immediately contacted the construction team to contact the machinery and equipment, but the excavator could not arrive at the construction site in time because of the epidemic.

"The fruits of reforestation have not come easily. We cannot just wait around. We must find a way." Anxious, they did not dare to slack off, immediately went to the east pit drainage ditch, ready to use the most original method of manual dredging.

The water was frozen to the bone after the snow. They waded through the water, shovelful after shovelful of mud, the cold water pouring back into their boots, splashing mud all over their faces. At over 4,000 meters above sea level, even a quick walk here can be a life test, not to mention the constant hard physical work.

They were out of breath and had to sit down for a while. "Capable or continue to do, excavators can not find, once frozen, we several years of grass efforts can be all in vain", looking at the boundless pure blue sky, Lanting Nan murmured.

After digging through the Dongkeng drainage ditch and the West Keng watershed, the two people were still not reassured. After contacting the technical experts of the Muli Project by phone, they continued to carefully check along the way and found a third blockage at the mouth of the river.

Regardless of the physical discomfort, Li Xiao waded into the water and began to clean up, brandishing a shovel. The water was obviously deeper here. Li Xiao was not careful and fell into a waist-deep pit. The more she struggled, the deeper she fell, and she cried out for help. "This place is so muddy, it's easy to sink in. You're fighting for your life!" Came to the rescue Lanting Nan and the driver master while pulling hard and said.

Unconsciously, it has been more than four o 'clock in the afternoon. After digging for more than six hours, Li Xiao and LAN Ting Nan's physical strength is severely overdrawn. Three key blockages have been dredged, and water is flowing unimpeded from the drains. Two people lying on the ground, although the body did not have the slightest strength, but the face is filled with a relaxed smile.

Knowing heavy load, hard work, Li Xiao and LAN Tingnan stand the last guard, complete the work task of management and protection, protect the last line of defense of wood covered with soil and green achievements. Editor/He Yuting
