Uncle Li and his second brother told us with tears that the weather was too hot these days, and it finally rained heavily yesterday, so the five grandchildren of the family and the older children in the village went to play in the puddle in the village.

These five children belong to the three sons of Uncle Li and his second brother, four boys and one girl. At first, when these children said that they wanted to go to the puddle to play, the adults in the family didn't care, but who hasn't played in the big puddle in the rural children?

Who knew that until more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, these children did not come back, so Uncle Li and his second brother, who were grandfathers, were a little worried, because he knew that the heavy rain yesterday was likely to fill the sand pit in the river, and a few children went to play and don't do anything else!?

So he walked to the big puddle with his hands behind his back, trying to call back all his grandchildren. As a result, when I first walked to the door of Lao Wang's house in the village, I happened to see a group of children playing under the big tree.

Uncle Li and his second brother asked them, "Didn't you go to the puddle with my rotten eggs?"

Then one of the older children told him that when they went at noon they found that the puddle was full, so they did not dare to play by the water, and they all came back! At least a few of his rotten eggs did not listen to him, but insisted on playing by the water, so they came back on their own.

Uncle Li and his second brother sank in their hearts when they heard this, and a bad feeling came out of their hearts, so he didn't dare to continue to walk slowly, and trotted all the way to the puddle. When he ran to the edge of the puddle to take a look, he found that there were no children playing at the water's edge!

He was thinking to himself, where can these children run to play? Just as he was thinking, something in the mud by the puddle caught his attention, and he squatted down to take a closer look, and found that it was actually a red cloth shoe from the eldest girl of the second family!

Uncle Li and his second brother immediately felt that the world was spinning, and they almost fell to the ground...... Fortunately, Accountant Liu and his brother-in-law in the village passed by, and when they saw Lao Litou dangling in front of the puddle, he seemed to be about to fall, so they hurriedly went over and helped him.

Feeling that someone was supporting him, Uncle Li and his second brother looked up and found that it was Accountant Liu from the village, so he pulled Accountant Liu and said anxiously, "Go and call someone!

Accountant Liu was also taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked his brother-in-law to hurry up and go to the village committee and call people with a loudspeaker!

After listening to his second brother, Uncle Li asked in a deep voice, "How long does it take for the child to fall?"

His second brother snorted and said, "It's been almost 3 hours since I found out that the children were missing in the afternoon!"

I listened and thought to myself, it's over! If these children really fall into the water, let alone three hours, they may choke to death in three minutes. Uncle Li shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said, "It's been too long, when did the police come? Did they help go into the water to find someone?"

Uncle Li and his second brother nodded and said, "They went into the water to help find a few, and a few in the village who were good at water also went down to find a few, but none of them were found." ”

I was confused by what he said, so I asked suspiciously, "What do you mean to find a few?"

Uncle Li and his second brother pulled me to a high place and asked me to look down, and I looked at it like this, good fellow, and I saw that there were more than a dozen blisters of all sizes on a wide river below......

"This ...... What is this, why are there so many puddles?" I said, puzzled.

At this time, a villager explained to me, "Young man, you don't know, there was a big river in our village before, so we called Xiahe Village, but then the river was diverted upstream, so the riverbed on our side was out of water." In the past few years, the village has contracted this dry riverbed to a sand factory to mine sand here, so there are more than 10 large puddles of all sizes. Usually it's okay, but when it rains heavily, these pits will be filled with rainwater, and I heard that the deepest pits are seven or eight meters!"

When I heard it, it was no wonder, I heard on the news about children drowning in sand pits, but I didn't expect to drown so many children at once!

Today is the first time I have seen this kind of sand quarry, I really don't understand what the people in the village think, not to mention how damaging the environment is in this kind of sand quarry, just to say that the hidden dangers left behind are invisible?

It seems that the most difficult problem now is not knowing which sand pit these children fell into, so I called Uncle Li for help. At this time, Uncle Li came up to me and said, "Jinbao, you go down and help find it, now I just hope that these children are greedy for fun and go somewhere else......"

I nodded, and walked down with Ding without saying anything.

When I came to the riverbed, I saw three women with tears on their faces sitting on the ground, and three men squatting next to them who were also dejected. Needless to say, I also know that these are Uncle Li's three own nephews and their daughter-in-law.

The three men saw that we were coming with his third uncle, so they stood up one after another, although no one introduced us, I still went over and patted them on the shoulder, and then said to them in a deep voice, "I'll look for it first, maybe the children are just greedy to play and go somewhere else!"

They all nodded sadly, and now it seems that this is just a good wish in people's hearts......

When Ding Yi and I walked on the edge of the sand pits, we found that these sand pits were very irregular, some of them were even large pits connected to small pits, and the shore near the water was also muddy, not to mention children, even adults are not safe to play in this kind of place.

I walked back and forth around the bunkers, trying to get to each one. When they found the sand pit of the girl's red cloth shoes, they were the first to find, and several young men with good water skills went into the water to fish, but they didn't catch anything.

Because they had looked for it before, I looked for other bunkers first, but I went back and forth a few times, but I didn't feel anything. But as soon as I walked to the sand pit they had been looking for, I immediately flickered in my heart, and I immediately stood in front of the pit and felt it carefully.

Uncle Li in the distance saw that I was standing still, and his heart sank, knowing that I must have felt something.

It's also strange to say, the pit in front of me is not small, but it is too big, only a dozen meters wide, and it stands to reason that there is something below that should be able to be fished up! But why didn't the people who went down before find anything?
