Chapter 21: There Should Be My Name
Martin almost hit a telephone pole, but luckily reacted quickly, otherwise he would have had to accept a blow to his head.
Wang Nan wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, so he endured it as much as he could, for fear that Martin would not find an outlet to vent his anger.
"Laugh if you want, pretend to be anything!But it was really dangerous just now, just a little bit, giggle!" Martin couldn't hold back his laughter.
"What did you just think? If you really bump into it, then your glorious image in my heart will be discounted. ”
"Nonsense, everyone makes mistakes, and Huang Feihong still has a time to be beaten. ”
"Who?
accidentally had two channels with him again, and Martin didn't bother to explain, so he beckoned Wang Nan to follow, and he wanted to go to the bridge to blow the wind.
Qiangxian County is separated from the living area of the oil field by a Luo River, the water surface of the Luo River is dozens of meters wide, because it is a tributary of the mother river, so the river water is yellow all the year round, and it has never been cleared.
Because Qiangxian is a landform of three mountains and two ditches, there are many small streams, which are branches from several reservoirs upstream, and eventually converge into the Luo River.
There are two bridges built on the river to the south and the north, and two routes can be used to and from the county seat and the oil area from two directions.
The two brothers walked in the nearest direction, and as soon as they got on the bridge, they saw a few children playing in the water by the river opposite, Wang Nan shouted and asked Martin if he dared to swim, which was another "strength" of his own strength than Martin.
Martin's answer to him was to kick the ditch, he didn't tell Wang Nan that his swimming skills are now at the level of the coach.
In the past, in the summer, one of the biggest games for Martin and Wang Nan was to go swimming in the Luo River, catch fish, or something, but they all secretly went behind the backs of the adults in the family.
It is particularly coincidental to say that the Luohe River drowns a person almost every year, and the superstitious old people say that these people are offerings to the river god, and one must die every year, otherwise the river god will be angry, and the result of anger is a big flood.
This statement is a remnant of feudalism in the eyes of most people, but I didn't expect that there was a year when no one drowned in the Luohe River, and there happened to be a big flood in July and August of the next year.
Therefore, parents began to repeatedly tell their children not to go to the Luohe River to play in the water, especially when the weather is warmer, they are more focused on prevention, for fear that their children will become the next "tribute".
But children are curious, and the more they are not allowed to go, the more curious they are.
Martin and they are no exception, they are anxious to look at the river every day, and they are afraid of death if they want to go by themselves, so they try their best to beg the older children to take them with them every time, and the two brothers go alone very rarely.
The most ridiculous thing is that Martin in the previous life never learned to swim, even if he went into the water, he only stayed in the shallow water area at a height of half a meter, no matter how he was called, he didn't go to the middle, which often made Wang Nan laugh at him for being only afraid of dead dogs.
In fact, Wang Nan's own actions did not dare to compliment, only a few dog planing, in the water is purely blind fluttering, wasted a long time rubbing out a few meters, the water in the stomach is not less drinkable, this guy is in a hurry, he picked up the mud at the bottom of the river and climbed a few meters, and proudly boasted in front of Martin that he had learned to dive.
The two of them are really fifty steps and a hundred steps, a half-landlubber.
Later, after a child from Wang Nan's community went down to the river to bathe and drowned, the two did not dare to go again, because the tragedy really happened around them, and no matter how curious they were, they understood that it was very dangerous to go down the river.
But there are other children who will go, and this phenomenon is called the back wave of the Luo River pushing the front wave, who knows which wave dies fast.
Lu Xiaobing is eleven years old this year, just graduated from elementary school, and today he was called by a few classmates to play in the water, and he didn't dare to go at first, so that a few bear children couldn't hold back their faces as soon as they laughed, who wanted to almost lose their lives.
Xiaobing's life should not be extinguished, he met a nobleman.
Wang Nan and Martin were lying on the concrete railing of the bridge chatting, although the scorching sun was over, the wind on the bridge was blowing cool.
"Why don't you talk to my parents, and we'll go together. ”
"What are you going to do? It's not enough to make a mess. ”
"Am I sure I won't do anything wrong?"
"Seriously, I haven't even figured out what to say myself, do you think they'll agree to let me go out alone?"
"It's not just you, it's the two of us!"
"Go, go, let me think again, it's really not good, find someone else to go, but I don't feel at ease to find someone else. By the way, you didn't tell anyone about that, did you?"
"Of course, did I go out and tell me what you told me? ”
"You're not a big mouth, you're a big horn. ”
"I'm grass!"
"Wow, wow, wow, come on! help!"
From under the bridge, there were cries and cries for help from children.
The two of them hurriedly looked under the bridge.
There were three children on the shore, and one in the water, their bodies rising and falling, and their two little hands swinging wildly.
One of the children on the shore was about to go into the water to pull his partner.
"Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!" shouted Martin as he ran down the sidewalk on the bridge to the end.
The bridge was very high, at least thirty meters high, but the actual water depth was less than four or five meters, so he couldn't jump, and the end of jumping directly was to plunge headlong into the mud, and he had to run to the end of the bridge and go down from there.
Wang Nan also poked his head out as he ran, telling those children not to move.
The bridge is more than 100 meters long, and the two of them were standing in the middle of the bridge just now and talking, and now they are going to run to the north bank.
The children below didn't dare to move again, but seeing that the little friends in the water had choked on several mouthfuls of water, they were all pale with fright.
Wang Nan shouted to Martin in front of him: "Ding Ding, you drink so much wine, don't go into the water for a while, I'll come, I'm better at swimming than you." ”
"No, you stand on the side and wait!, I'll go!" Martin instructed as he ran.
"You wait up there, I'll go! You can't swim, stupid!" Wang Nan couldn't catch up with Martin at the maximum, and he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly over and kick this guy to the ground, fooling what kind of hero.
"I can't swim!?Have you ever been a soldier?Have you ever practiced armed swimming??Stay on the shore honestly!" came Martin's voice in the air.
Wang Nan was silent, he didn't understand what Martin said at all, so he heard the last sentence and let himself stay honest.
Martin ran to the top of the bridge as fast as he could, and went down to the bottom with very fast steps along the side of the slope, and jumped into the water without saying a word, for he could no longer see the child's head.
Wang Nan didn't move as neatly as Martin, and when he stumbled to the bottom of the bridge, Martin had already shown his head and began to change his breath for the first time.
"How's it going?"
Martin didn't bother to talk to him, and dived into the water again, this time he saw the child, and quickly swam over to pick him up from behind.
"Whoa!"
Two heads were exposed to the water, and people were rescued!
Wang Nan hurriedly walked to him and stretched out his hand to pull, he first took the child's hand, dragged it to the shore, and then went to Lamartine.
After Martin handed over the child to Wang Nan, he immediately picked up the mud and went ashore, at this time the mud on the shore was very soft, and he couldn't make it hard at all.
Don't underestimate these movements, the physical consumption is very large, but Martin didn't dare to delay at all and ran to the child's side, pressed his chest and started first aid.
Fortunately, the soldier regained his senses after spitting out several mouthfuls of muddy water.
At this time, there were already many people standing on the bridge, all looking down with attention, and many people had already come down the slope protection to help.
"Isn't this the son of the Lu family?"
"Yes, it's Xiaobing, hey, these bear children, tell you not to let you go into the water, if it weren't for these two little offspring......"
"I'll go and inform Secretary Lu, you can help save people......"
Seeing that the person was fine, Martin fell to the side, gasping for breath, and the little bit of alcohol was gone.
Wang Nan was still asking about Xiaobing's situation with concern, and from the other party's accent, he could tell that this group of children was not a child of the oil field, but a local of Qiang County.
"Let's go. Martin rested for a few minutes and stood up and asked Wang Nan to leave together.
"Oh, here we are. Wang Nan promised and specially explained to the child who fell into the water: "Don't be so naughty in the future, don't play in the water anymore!"
The surrounding people are all locals in the county, so they don't know these two young children at all, but they still express their gratitude for Xiaobing's parents, and they also keep them waiting for the child's parents to arrive.
Martin didn't stop, just smiled and shook his head at the people around him, and Wang Nan exchanged a few warm greetings with everyone.
"No thanks, this is what we should do, we all learned from Uncle **, and we never leave a name for doing good deeds. Hey, hey, hey, you guys can help get this brother to the hospital, let's go first, hey, wait for me. ”
The two climbed up the roadbed along the slope, Martin was wet with yellow water, and Wang Nan was talking excitedly.
"I really didn't expect that we could still be heroes to save people, although you are the main one, but I didn't contribute less, right, when people send a thank you letter or something, there should be my name. ”
"Well, definitely. ”
"That's pretty much it, by the way, when did you learn to swim, and how can you learn to swim every time you only play in the shallow water on the shore?"
"Suddenly I learned, you say magic is not magical. ”
"Phew! No way! You must have been hiding somewhere, what did you say when you ran just now, armed or soldiered? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Did I say that? No. ”
"You seem to be very proficient in those rescue actions after going ashore just now......"
Martin couldn't stand the constant buzzing of a "curious fly" next to him: "Big brother, can you rest for a while? ”
"Don't run away from the question, be honest, why do you have so many things?"
"Do you believe me when I said it was a fallout!"
"Faith!"
"Do you still ask?"
"I just want to make sure again, in fact, I saw that you became so awesome after falling, I was very envious, I always wanted to fall once, but I was a little afraid of pain, or you accompanied me to the small bridge in the afternoon, I fell and tried?"
