Chapter III: Disappearance
Before the once-in-a-century heavy rain, the sweltering weather had lasted for three or four days, and the weather forecast was that it would rain every day, but this god seemed to deliberately want to disgrace the weather station, so he couldn't hold it back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info We all said that this is a big posture for a big show. On that day two weeks ago, near the end of work in the afternoon, the sky was getting more and more gloomy, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and from time to time there was a strong wind blowing, blowing so that people could not stand steadily, it was said that after a few days of suffocation, there was suddenly a wind, and my heart should be more happy, but for some reason, my heart was beating suddenly, and I always felt that something was going to happen, and now it seems that this premonition is really right.
The wind blew for about half an hour, the raindrops of beans crackled and fell, we received instructions from above to check the drain, to be honest, the water is really not to blame on our heads, the drain is good, there is no debris accumulation, to blame the drainage system design is not reasonable enough, but who could have predicted that there will be such an evil heavy rain that day.
I had just entered the bridge for ten minutes, and I saw a strong light outside, this lightning was really big, like an axe slashing the sky in half, followed by a lifetime of thunder, so that the bridge seemed to tremble slightly. Just like this, lightning and thunder you come and I go for half an hour, the water in the bridge cave has not reached my knees, I didn't expect the water to be so fast, so I hurriedly walked to the outside of the bridge hole, while asking the superior to restrict the entry of vehicles, walked to the entrance of the bridge and was stunned by the heavy rain, really, I have lived so old, I have never seen such a rain, I happened to be in the south when the flood occurred in 98, and I have never seen more rain than this. The rain poured down from the bridge deck above, forming a waterfall at the entrance of the bridge, and when I walked over, although I was wearing a poncho, my head was hurt by the falling water, and because the road surface in the bridge was low, the water on the road rushed into the bridge like a flood. As soon as I saw this situation, I shouted bitterly that this is okay, and I don't have to wait for the leader to reply, I have to hurry up and restrict the trip.
Fortunately, there are not many cars passing through this passage bridge today, and everyone may know that there will be water here, so they all take the bridge or detour, but there are still seven or eight cars wandering at the entrance of the cave, hesitating to rush in, and even a few bold teeth really rushed over. But I know that the water here is rising very fast, and it is impossible for the cars behind to pass by. So I couldn't take care of myself, so I knocked on the windows one by one and told them to turn around, and the situation inside was critical, and they would definitely not be able to pass.
Fortunately, at this time, the police in charge of this area also rushed over with two firefighters, probably after receiving a report from my superiors to come to support. I relaxed a little and told them about the situation of the water in it, and immediately the police comrades decided to set up a roadblock to prohibit the passage of vehicles. However, at this time, he appeared. Hey, little girl, you say it's a coincidence, this is a few minutes earlier, he can pass, a few minutes late, the barricade is set up, and he can't get over it, but he happens to be neither early nor late, and he appears at this time, so when it comes to human life, sometimes it is really predestined.
Speaking of this, the old man looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
That man was very young, estimated to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he was quite handsome. That day, he drove a gray SUV all the way to the bridge with his headlights flashing, as if he had something urgent to do. Driving to the entrance of the bridge, he finally stopped with a sudden brake under our shouting. The policeman motioned for him to open the window, and the moment the window rolled down, I saw a miserable white face, which startled me, and now I think about it, whether people have signs before they die, otherwise how could his face be so weirdly white, like a dead man. When the policeman told him that the water was too deep to cross, his brow furrowed even deeper when he heard it, and he muttered to us and to himself, "No, it's too late." Hearing that he was still hesitating, I shouted at him, "It's too late, nothing is as important as your own life." But as if he were enchanted, he slowly closed the window, started the car again, and drove tentatively towards the bridge. We were all stunned, and I am afraid that I will never forget his face, that pale face so resolute, as if there was some strong conviction that sustained him in this matter, even if it was far more dangerous than it seemed.
For a moment I thought he was going to succeed, the young man was very smart, he put the car in the lowest gear, and slowly walked along the edge of the road in the bridge, which was the highest place, which was the most difficult way to turn off, and his body was high, so he slowly passed through the deepest part of the stagnant water. I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly it was dark and I fell headlong into the water, and it turned out that a car had pushed me when it turned around, but fortunately the speed was slow and the force was not heavy, so I was not injured. The driver and the police scrambled me out of the water, and I saw that I was not hurt anywhere, so I let the driver go. When we looked back at the young man, we saw that his car was gone.
We guess he's gone, after all, he's already passed through the deepest part of the water just now. But suddenly, I realized that something was wrong under the bridge. It was close to 7 o'clock, and with the dark clouds at the top, it was already dark in the bridge, but in the middle of the black water, I noticed that something seemed to be reflecting the light from time to time. What is it, I reacted with a stirring spirit, and couldn't help but shout: "The car, that car is flooded." ”
The reflective thing was none other than the luggage rack on the roof of the young man's car, and his body had been completely submerged in the water. Our comrades in the policemen and firefighters were still very brave, and when they saw this, they really did not hesitate at all, and immediately rushed into the water, but as soon as they ran five or six steps, the water overflowed their necks, and they had to turn back again. This water is really rising too fast, just about 20 minutes after I fell, it swooped up two meters.
Looking at the roof of the car swaying on the water, a very bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart. Is the young man still in the car? Or have you abandoned the car and left? I suddenly remembered his resolute look before leaving, no, he wouldn't go, even at the last minute, he would try to regain control of the car. A flash of lightning struck me, and in the flash of light, I saw an arm reaching out of the window and clutching the roof of the car. It was him, I was overjoyed, and it seemed that I didn't know what method was used, and he opened the window, so that he should be saved. So I called out to the police and told them that there was someone in the car, and after a few of us discussed, we decided to form a ladder to try to get close to the car, but halfway through the way, I knew that it was impossible, and the strong wind from time to time blew up the water and broke up the ladder at once.
We had to go back to where we were, praying, praying that the diver and the kayak would come quickly, that he would swim out on his own. One after the other, lightning lit up the bridge from time to time, but I never saw the young man again.
"And then?" Wu Xi reporter asked.
"Then, after about an hour, the divers and kayaks came. The divers searched the water for a long time, and when they came ashore, they told the police that there was no one in the car and that no one could be found in the water. The police thought they must not have found it, so they organized a second and third search. However, until the next day, when the water receded, the person was still not found. Oh, it's such a big place," the old man pointed ahead, the dark and damp bridge hole, "and the man is so inexplicably gone." ”
