Lin Dong, who was walking along the river, felt that the speed of the water was getting faster and faster, and he drifted forward for a while, and suddenly it rained heavily. The raindrops of beans fell intensively, and Lin Dong could barely open his eyes.

"Ghost weather! I've been so unlucky lately! ”

Lin Dong popped out his head and took a big breath, only to feel that the air was thin, and he was about to run out of breath.

I don't know how long I drifted forward, but the sky gradually blew a touch of fish belly white, and the rain in the middle of the night finally stopped.

After soaking in the water for too long, Lin Dong only felt that the strength in his whole body was slowly dissipating. He felt the water flow getting faster and faster, as if it was twice as fast as when he had jumped into the river last night.

"Why is the water flowing so fast?"

Lin Dong couldn't help frowning, I'm afraid that what he was worried about was about to happen, in front, maybe there was really a flood gate that was being discharged, looking at such a speed, it should be not far away. Lin Dong began to regret it, he knew that there was a big gate in front of him, he should have swam towards the shore last night, and now even if he wanted to struggle, he didn't have much strength to use.

Not far away, with the change of the river channel, the water flow suddenly changed direction, Lin Dong was pulled by the current, turned a big bend, and felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes and flew forward, he was suddenly frightened, and the gate was already in sight, just five or six miles in front of him. At the current rate, it is estimated that it will be there in less than ten minutes.

In Lin Dong's realization, in addition to the majestic and terrifying gate, there is also a fallen tree, and the tree pole is horizontal on the water, but the big tree is very close to the gate.

Lin Dong thought to himself that the tree was probably his last chance, and whether he could escape or not, he could only rely on that big tree. If he misses the big tree, he will enter the sluice gate with the raging flood and drown in it.

The speed of the water is getting faster and faster. Lin Dong became more and more nervous, while forcing himself not to panic. Adjust your breathing and build strength. He silently counted down in his heart, the speed of the water was too fast to reach the big tree and jump, he was going to jump from the water when he was two meters away from the tree.

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"

When the count reached one, Lin Dong used all his strength to suddenly jump up from the water, stretched out his arm as much as he could, and finally let him grab the tree pole. The strength of the whole body has been exhausted. He hugged the tree pole and gasped violently, looked down at the river below him, and was shocked, and once again brushed shoulders with death. He couldn't muster a hint of excitement. I can't tell you what it feels like.

After recovering a little bit of strength, Lin Dong began to look for a way to return to the shore. The trees lay diagonally across the water, and from time to time waves crashed against the trunks. The whole trunk of the tree was slippery, and he shook it when he moved slightly.

Just as Lin Dong was thinking about whether to risk climbing over the tree trunk, he suddenly saw a group of people passing by on the shore, looking at their clothes, like a local figure. Each of them had shovels and other utensils in their hands.

Lin Dong shouted for help: "Fellow, help!" Fellow. Help......"

The group on the shore were nearby peasants, members of the militia company of the village, and the flood was so bad that they patrolled the levee day and night to prevent it from bursting.

"Someone asked, did you hear that?" One of the young men in his twenties said.

Hearing this, everyone stopped and listened carefully. Lin Dong saw that they had stopped advancing, so he shouted even harder.

"Help, I'm ...... in the tree"

Everyone heard his cry and rushed towards the fallen tree.

"Look, he's there!"

Everyone found Lin Dong, and the dark and stout one of them was the leader of this group, who served as the militia company commander in the village, and shouted at Lin Dong with his voice: "Hey, you hold on first, we want to save you ashore." ”

Lin Dong's physical strength is not too big a problem for the time being, holding on to the tree pole, as long as this big tree continues, he doesn't have to worry about being washed to the gate.

The militia company commander gathered the squad together, "Everyone should think of a way to get him up." ”

Someone said: "We don't even have a ship, how can we save it?" ”

Dahan shook his head, "It's useless to give you a boat, the current is so fast, it's strange to take a boat over and not be washed downstream." ”

"Do you want to notify the upper authorities and let the upper authorities send someone to come to the rescue?" Someone suggested.

The big black man looked at the roots of the big tree that had fallen on the river, pointed and said, "You see, I'm afraid this tree will be washed downstream in a short time." ”

Last night, it rained all night, and the tree grew on the riverbank, so the soil near the roots of the tree was soaked soft, and the surrounding soil was already very weak due to the erosion of the heavy rain. The roots of the tree, which had been buried in the ground, have been revealed. According to Hei Dahan's estimates, the roots of the big tree are likely to be completely separated from the earth within half an hour, and they will rush towards the dam with the torrent.

"There's no time, you have to save him immediately!" The big black man looked at Lin Dong who was holding the big tree with a sad face.

"How can you save it?" Everyone can only be in a hurry, helpless, the bad water is so turbulent, it is impossible to swim over to save Lin Dong.

The black man said loudly: "Everyone put together the things they are carrying, and see if they can come up with a way." ”

They threw shovels, snakeskin bags, ropes, and the like on the ground.

The big black man bent down and picked up a bundle of ropes on the ground and asked, "Third child, how long is this bundle of ropes?" ”

"About thirty meters." An emaciated man in the crowd said that he had brought the rope from home.

"Thirty meters?" Hei Dahan looked at the middle of the river, the river was about eighty meters wide, Lin Dong was in the middle of the water, and the rope of thirty meters was not long enough at all.

The big black man turned around and said, "I have a way, everyone take off their clothes, cut them into a rope, let them throw it over, let the man hold the rope, and we will pull him ashore." ”

Everyone undressed one after another, they were all big men, and no one cared about being naked. Soon, the crowd knotted all their shirts into ropes, and roughly estimated that they were more than ten meters long.

The big black man knotted the two ropes together and nodded, the length was enough, but how could he throw the rope over? He asked everyone to step back, found a stone to tie to the rope, and yelled at Lin Dong on the tree: "Hey, I'll throw the rope over, you hold on to the rope, and we'll pull you up." ”

Lin Dong nodded, "Understood, throw it!" ”

Dahan retreated more than ten meters, rushed down from the river slope, and with the help of his running speed, he picked up his arm hard, and the stone was in a parabola, which accurately landed next to Lin Dongshen, Lin Dong stretched out a hand and grabbed the rope.

Everyone walked up behind the big black man and grabbed him from behind. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
