Chapter 172: Organizing and Saving People
Li Yihe went to be a soldier for just a few months, Li Xiaoran saw through the warmth and coldness of this world, and she said loudly: "Thank you uncles and uncles for your high righteousness, now you don't have such a long rope to go down the cliff, and those who participate in the rope rubbing will give a 500 Wen thank you gift." ”
The voice below became more intense, some people moved their hearts, and wanted to call their family members over to rub the rope, she looked at the commotion below, and said loudly: "Whether this rope is strong or not is related to human life, those who come to rub the rope must have experience, and this point must be checked by the head of the village of Jiang." ”
These words put an end to those who want to fish in troubled waters to earn this money, although those who want to go down the cliff want to make money, but no one wants to put their lives into it, and they will naturally watch whether the rope is strong or not.
Soon the whole village was mobilized, Wang Xiaoshu had already been instructed by Li Xiaoran, and went to Erdaogangzi to invite some strong men to come back to help, as long as they were willing to come, they would all be given twenty yuan, and Hula came with a large group, there were many people, and there was always someone who could help.
Then Wang Xiaoshu went to the town and invited Li Yijiang back, there must be a man in charge of the family to do it, Young Master Xuesi is still a little younger, he heard Xin'er at that time and rushed back with red eyes, was pulled by Wang Xiaoshu, and asked him to go to the county to see if Young Master Xuejian was safe.
Although Li Xuesi is worried about his eldest brother, he thinks that what his sister said is reasonable, here in the family, as long as he is willing to spend silver, there will always be someone willing to help, and no one will have trouble with silver.
But the news of the second brother doesn't know the real holiday, so I have to make sure that if the second brother really has an accident, someone in the county has to deal with it, and if nothing happens, he will rush back with the second brother.
Wang Xiaoshu and Li Xuesi took a mule cart in the town and went directly to the county, there were many people at home, and they rubbed more than a dozen thick, long and strong hemp ropes in a short time.
Jiang Sheng selected twelve strong men in the two villages, put the ropes on them, and after some advice, the people above pulled the ropes tightly and watched them move down carefully.
Li Yijiang was anxious, and insisted on going down with him, and the second brother entrusted his home to him when he left, and it was only a few months that such a big thing happened, and he felt extremely guilty. Li Xiaoran stopped him, "Uncle, you can't go down as well as me, I have practiced kung fu with Uncle Ye, and I am much more flexible than you." ”
Fu Shi took her daughter's hand worriedly, afraid that if she couldn't see it, she would sneak down, this is really too dangerous, she is a girl, although she knows kung fu, where can she compare with these rough-skinned men.
Li Xiaoran understood the fear in her heart, hugged her gently, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, I know in my heart, and I won't go down rashly." ”
If it was a naturally growing vine, she would dare to try to go down, but this hemp rope had to be her hands, and her hands would have to be bruised out in two strokes.
However, she has already made a decision in her heart, this has a rope, she has to go down to see it anyway, if she doesn't see it with her own eyes, she is not at ease in her heart. Fu Shi thought of what her husband told her before leaving, so that she would listen to her daughter in everything, and let go of her but told her again uneasily: "You must be obedient, my mother can't stand this blow anymore." ”
She vaguely agreed, and asked Yang and her sister-in-law to take her to the side, she went to the edge of the cliff, carefully lying on the side and looking up, watching those people very downward movement is very dangerous, if it is not tied to the waist, now I am afraid that half of the people will fall.
The rope was released more than twenty meters long, and those people were counted below, and she waited on it, her heart was empty, and she felt very bad. It has been more than three hours since the eldest brother fell to the cliff, he was hit by an arrow, he was so seriously injured, and after so long, can he still live?
In fact, everyone didn't think that he could survive, and the reason why he went down was just for the sake of the silver, that is, the Li family, and they were just comforting themselves in their hearts.
After a long time, a person came up, his hands and waist were worn out by the rope, and he fell to the ground, "Oh mom, this leg is trembling and won't move...... The moment he came up, Li Xiaoran rushed over and asked urgently: "Uncle Zhidong, have you found my eldest brother?" ”
If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die, and if he goes down for so many hours, there will be corpses if he really doesn't die.
Jiang Zhidong was tired like a dead dog, waved his hand, and gasped: "There is a lake below, and there is a dense forest on the side, and we haven't searched all the neighborhoods." ”
Someone accosted: "It can't be falling into the lake, right?" ”
Jiang Zhidong said: "I don't know, the lake is a little deep, Niu Dashan's water nature is the best among us, and he didn't dare to swim in the middle of the lake, anyway, he didn't find anyone." ”
Fu Shi's face turned pale when she heard this, and her body trembled involuntarily, and Li Xiaoran comforted her firmly: "Mother, there is no news, it is good news." Fu Shi was stunned for a moment, and hope surged in his heart, pulling her to ask in a trembling voice: "You mean, your eldest brother is not dead?" ”
"Mother, I don't know, so I'm going down to have a look." She did not hesitate any longer, and commanded, "Bring the rope, and I will go down." ”
Fu Shi listened and grabbed her tightly, shook his head with tears, and didn't let her go down. She comfortingly held her mother's shoulders, and said firmly word by word with a hint of infectiousness: "Mother, you have to believe me!" ”
Fu Shi seemed to be bewitched by her, let go, and immediately came up a few people, helped her put the rope around her waist, tightened the rope, and she moved carefully to the bottom of the cliff.
The palm of the thick rope grinded the skin, and there was a burst of pain, which she couldn't feel anymore after the pain, and when her legs slid down, stones kept falling, and her heart tightened with the sound.
After a long time, she cautiously reached the bottom of the cliff, and the men who had come down from the cliff gathered around her and reported to her the search.
She moved her eyes to the lake, put the rope on the tree, and said to Niu Dashan: "Uncle Niu, you go into the water with me to find it, and I will give you an extra thousand taels of silver." ”
With this large sum of silver, it is to throw away your life, and the old and young in the family are enough to buy a house and land, and it has been passed down for several generations, Niu Dashan was excited in his heart, and nodded heavily, "Okay, my old cow has fought hard." ”
She wrapped up her clothes, and then jumped into the water as well, and a thump plunged into the water and swam towards the middle of the lake. The lake water was cold, and her body was a little woody, and she carried her spiritual power lightly, and her vigorous vitality swam all over her body along her limbs, and her body immediately became warm.
If it weren't for the fear of those people's suspicions, she wouldn't have to ventilate at all, and after a long time, she couldn't swim back, the lake was not big, and she searched almost all over the water, and she didn't find anyone at all.
However, this gave her a glimmer of hope in her heart, there was no one in the forest, no one in the water, does that mean that the eldest brother is not dead?
Maybe he wasn't badly injured and fled on his own? Maybe he was saved?
Knowing that the second possibility is not very likely, there is no trace of anyone in this mountain forest, but she can't help but look forward to it like this. R1152
