"Has the water receded?" Lin Baoguo was groggily awoken in the station dormitory, but the news of the water level dropping instantly jolted him awake.
"It's true, Brother Lin, the water has receded!" Xiang Changqing, who seldom showed excitement, revealed deep emotions on his face. "It wasn't clear last night, but by early morning, it was much more noticeable. It's mainly the West River's water level that has noticeably dropped, even causing backflow at Sancha Mouth. Looking at this situation, it seems we've dodged a bullet this year..."
Among the three rivers meeting near the cattle farm, West River is the largest. Once its water level receded, the crisis for the other two rivers was also resolved like cutting through butter. Although it's uncertain if it will rain again or if the water will rise, at least for now, the threat of the town being flooded seems to be averted—that's good news.
