Chapter 6: Overboard
A Chinese meal cost Lou Gaocheng more than 50 yuan, but Lou Gaocheng didn't feel distressed at all, and he took out a camera from his schoolbag.
"Let's go, go to the barrage and take pictures, the photos are very clear after the rain." Lou Gaocheng seems to have planned for a long time, and even chose a location for taking pictures.
In those days, there were no digital cameras, and there weren't many opportunities to take pictures, especially for poor students. Therefore, several young people rushed to the barrage.
After the rainstorm, the water flow of the Xijiang River is very turbulent, and in a long distance, Li Jiatao can hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore rocks. When you come to the barrage, you can clearly see the water flowing down with a drop of two or three feet, which is very spectacular.
Lou Gaocheng looked very excited, and suddenly climbed the two-foot-high protective railing on the barrage, and grabbed the cement pillar next to it. Shaking his head and reciting the Psalms.
At the beginning of the day after the rain, the water droplets on the iron railing still reflect the light in the sun, which also makes the railing very slippery. After Lou Gaocheng was excited, he suddenly found that there was a cliff more than three feet high under him, and the water splashing high was like a bloody mouth devouring him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and his hands and feet were a little weak.
Lou Gaocheng pushed the cement pillar with his hand, trying to jump back to the dam with the help of this reaction force, but his feet slipped and he lost his center of gravity, one foot was already in the air, and his hands were waving alone in the air.
"Danger!" Li Jiatao's heart chuckled, his face changed, and he shouted loudly, "Come down." ”
"Be careful!" Xu Lei, who was closest to Lou Gaocheng, exclaimed, and stretched out her hand to pull Lou Gaocheng.
Accidents come and go!
Lou Gaocheng's right hand waved wildly touched Xu Lei's outstretched right hand, and pulled it suddenly, with the help of this force, Lou Gaocheng's body fell to the cement floor in the barrage, smashing the cement floor with a bang.
Xu Lei's petite body was pulled by the height of the building, but she crossed the two-meter-high railing, and fell under the barrage with her head and feet!
"Ahh
"It's over, it's over!" Lou Gao got up with a blue nose and swollen face, and stumbled towards the railing.
A gust of wind swept by, and a gray figure quickly rushed past Lou Gaocheng's side, stepped on the railing, and jumped down without hesitation! On the concrete floor of the barrage, a pair of gray old running shoes and a set of long clothes and trousers fell, which Li Jiatao quickly took off while running!
Two figures, one white and one gray, fell rapidly in the air under the barrage, which was shocking! The two figures, like two small waves, were soon overwhelmed by the huge foam splashing high on the water surface and disappeared.
There is a magnesium light flickering not far away, and someone captured this thrilling shot, and the technique is very professional!
"Oh my God!" Ding Hongmei covered her small mouth with her hands and burst into tears, "It's Li Jiatao, it's Li Jiatao who jumped down to save Lei Lei!" "In the hearts of young girls, many times romance is greater than tragedy itself.
"Saving people? The young man was more auspicious and less lucky, and he took a surname for nothing. A middle-aged man on the riverbank who saw this scene shook his head and sighed, but his movements were not slow, and he rushed to his house not far away, and soon ran back with two pneumatic tires and a long bamboo pole in his hand.
Li Jiatao didn't have time to think about it at all, there was only one thought in his mind at this time, that is, to save people, and he must save Xu Lei!
The cold waves splashed on his somewhat nervous face, Li Jiatao knew that he was going to enter the water soon, took a deep breath, relaxed his body, and let his body rush straight into the water!
Li Jiatao tried his best to widen his eyes, but the river after the rainstorm was very turbid, and the visible distance in the water was less than one meter, which also made Li Jiatao very anxious. Li Jiatao knew very well in his heart that saving people in the whirlpool under the turbulent barrage requires not only excellent water surnames, but also a little luck. The opportunity is only in the middle of these few seconds, once you miss it, you can't save Xu Lei no matter what!
Without waiting for his body to stop down because of his habitual surname, Li Jiatao kicked his legs and let himself move downstream along the current for more than a zhang, and then relaxed his body and quickly surfaced.
Xu Lei entered the water before Li Jiatao, and according to Li Jiatao's calculations, Xu Lei should be in the direction of her downstream. Sure enough, as Li Jiatao expected, as soon as he surfaced, Li Jiatao watched his family struggle alone on the water in a white dress, which was Xu Lei's white dress.
Li Jiatao was overjoyed, he didn't think about it, he desperately swam to Xu Lei's side, and then reached out with his left hand and grabbed Xu Lei's long hair! Li Jiatao understands that if he goes to catch Xu Lei somewhere else, then Xu Lei will definitely use his hands to firmly tie herself, and not only will she not be able to save Xu Lei at that time, but she is afraid that because she loses her freedom of movement, she will also die in this surging river!
Grabbing Xu Lei's hair, Li Jiatao immediately leaned along the current to the right bank. The hair was pulled hard by Li Jiatao, and it was very painful, Xu Lei subconsciously grabbed her hair tightly with both hands, so as to reduce the pain in the scalp!
The current is too fast, and there is still a person in his hand, Li Jiatao can only swim desperately, foot by foot, to the shore!
Pushing his legs desperately, his right hand went straight back to the water, Li Jiatao's physical exertion was very great, panting and breathing......
On the riverbank, Lou Gaocheng and a few classmates were running for their lives. A classmate who knew how to order water tried to enter the water, but within a few seconds, he swam back to the shore in a hurry, and he was choked by the river to tears! The water is too fast, and it is even more difficult to swim from the shore to the middle of the river!
"Uncle, thank you." Lou Gaocheng ran to the middle-aged man's side, reached out to get the pneumatic tire and bamboo pole in the middle-aged man's hand, but he was empty.
"A pneumatic tire costs 100 yuan a piece, and a bamboo pole costs 50 yuan." The middle-aged man took a step back, his brown face furrowed.
Stunned, absolutely stunned! All the classmates were stunned to look at the middle-aged man's expression as a matter of course!
Lou Gaocheng hurriedly took out the money from his pocket, and then stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand.
"To you, to you, all to you." Lou Gaocheng shouted anxiously, "Don't worry, I will thank you again afterwards!" ”
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and then he said expressionlessly: "It's a total of one hundred and twenty-five yuan, which is only enough to buy an pneumatic tire." Hey, forget it, this bamboo pole will be sold to you for twenty-five yuan at half price. ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed an inflatable tire and bamboo pole in his hand to Lou Gaocheng, and then looked at him silently.
Lou Gaocheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, quickly took off the camera hanging around his neck, and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand: "This camera is worth more than a thousand yuan, you give me the other pneumatic tire." ”
"I only take cash." The middle-aged man didn't look at Lou Gaocheng, "I can't afford to play with this kind of foreign thing." After a pause, the middle-aged man continued: "Otherwise, you can make an IOU." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man actually took out a paper and pen from his pocket, making everyone present stunned and smiling bitterly. It seems that this is not the first time that middle-aged people have done this kind of thing, and they are very familiar with the road!
"This classmate, don't talk to him, it's useless." An abrupt voice appeared, "I brought a car inner tube, it will be able to be used immediately, it is important to save people." ”
"Thank you." Lou Gaocheng looked up and saw that he was a very well-dressed young man, wearing a suit, tie, and old man's scalp shoes.
"You're welcome, as it should be." The young man smiled and threw the rope over, "Put the rope on the tire and throw it into the river, it's safer!" ”
