Chapter Fifty-Nine: Saving People Underwater
After standing by the river and observing carefully, Liu Tianshu found that the only way to save these two hard-working people was to start from the water.
On the side of the empty dam near the river, there is a stone embankment of about 20 meters long, and the downstream is not far away, the river turns a big bend there, forming a deep pool, the strange rocks on the side of the pond are craggy, there are several old trees hanging down the branches, stretching into the river, this deep water pool has left Shiquan Town, one side is the strange rocky mountain cliff, the other side is a wide reed forest.
Liu Tianshu visually measured the location where the Ma family was preparing to soak the pig cage in the deep pool, the reed forest in the center of the pond was only a few dozen meters from the shore, and more importantly, many reeds were soaked in water and extended to the pool.
According to the onlookers, this dipping pig cage is to transport the pig cage to the deep water pool by boat, and then put the cage down, and the deep water pool is several feet deep.
Liu Tianshu is still very confident in his water nature, and besides, the terrain of the deep pool is complex, as long as he rescues the people inside smoothly in the process of sinking the pig cage, with the cover of trees and reeds, others may not be able to find out.
It's just that he is alone, no matter how good the water is, he can't save two people at the same time.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Shi Qiang and the Hao family brothers, and several people stepped aside.
"Shi Qiang, how are you watery?" After a few glances, Liu Tianshu got straight to the point.
"Brother Tianshu, what do you want to do?" Shi Qiang asked puzzled, "I don't know how to water." ”
When Hao Mengcheng heard Liu Tianshu's question, his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Tianshu, the second child knows how to water, and he can stay in the water for a long time." ”
Hao Mengxuan nodded on the side.
"Really? Second Brother Hao knows water, it's really good, let's go, let's go. When Liu Tianshu heard that Hao Mengxuan had a good temperament, he immediately called a few people happily and quickly left the empty dam.
Turning out of the streets, a few people walked out of town along an empty path, then crossed a bridge to the opposite bank, and quietly turned into the reed forest in front of the deep pool.
Standing in the reed forest, Liu Tianshu pointed to the empty dam in the distance and said: "Qiangzi, Brother Hao, Second Brother Hao, according to the onlookers, the Ma family and others will transport those two wooden cages here by boat, and then throw them into the pool." I heard that these two people are hard-working people, and the two were originally on good terms, but they were broken up, since we met, we can't see death without help, I plan to ...... like this"
Next, Liu Tianshu said his thoughts, he and Hao Mengxuan were responsible for going into the water to save people, Hao Mengcheng and Qiangzi were responsible for responding, and after the people were rescued, they immediately retreated from the reed forest. The specific method is that when the Ma family's boat came, Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan quietly dived under the boat with a hollow reed rod in their mouths, and waited for the Ma family to put down the cage, and the two immediately opened the cage to rescue Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su, and then took the two to swim to the reed forest.
From the reeds to the center of the deep pool, it is only ten meters away, and the two of them are prepared early, they should be able to arrive in the shortest time, but opening the cage to rescue the people inside must be completed within half a minute.
Because there are stones in the cage, after the cage is put down, it will slowly sink, if the action is too slow, not only may not be able to save people, but Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan will also be taken to the bottom of the pool.
Fortunately, the cage Liu Tianshu had carefully observed, and it was very poorly made, and the wooden strip should be able to be broken by hand.
However, in order to prevent the Ma family's boat from staying in the pool after putting down the cage, Liu Tianshu decided to go to the opposite side of the empty dam by the strong son to release the gun.
It's a pity that all the people who left Wuyang County this time were short guns, and if they brought long guns, Liu Tianshu also wanted Shi Qiang to break the big drum across the river.
The Hao Mengcheng brothers also heard the tragic experience of Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su in the crowd, and when they heard that Liu Tianshu decided to save people, they naturally didn't say anything, and after listening to Liu Tianshu explain the details clearly, the four of them immediately began to prepare.
At half past eleven, the big drum on the empty dam suddenly shook the world, and then he heard a not loud voice in the crowd, because it was far away, Liu Tianshu didn't hear what he said.
After a while, I heard cheers from the empty dam, and then it seemed that a woman was asking something in a loud voice, and many people followed suit.
Immediately afterwards, the two sides were scolding, and then remembered the beating and scolding, and then the gunshots rang out, Liu Tianshu took a look at the reeds in front of him, but saw that on the empty dam in the distance, the figure of the soldier vaguely appeared.
For a moment, Liu Tianshu was confused.
It's just that he and Hao Mengxuan have gone to the edge of the pool and are ready to go into the water.
Time passed in the noisy quarrel on the other side of the empty dam, and when it was past twelve o'clock, a fierce drum beat sounded on the empty dam again, and then a long voice was heard.
"The pig cage is sinking, the pig cage is sinking."
As the sound sounded, I saw eight strong men, carrying the two wooden cages, striding towards a small boat.
Two wooden cages were placed in small boats amid the cries, shouts, and cheers of the people, and then four strong men returned to the shore, while the other four men rowed their boats towards the deep pool.
Watching the two cages sail away from the stone embankment amid the desperate cries of Jiang Xuezhu's mother,
Tang Qing's eyes erupted with fire, and his hateful gaze was fixed on the old lady Ma, who was sitting on the Taishi chair and looking at her proudly. If it weren't for the middle-aged man in a common person's costume next to her who grabbed her arm, she really wanted to rush and shoot Old Lady Ma to death.
Behind Tang Qing and the middle-aged man, there were six soldiers wearing Eighth Route military uniforms, these soldiers were also full of anger at this time, and they clenched the rifles in their hands with both hands.
Opposite them, there were more than 30 Jin Suijun, with guns in their hands pointed at them intentionally or unintentionally, and a dozen or so policemen in black police uniforms were also staring at them.
"I miscalculated, and I blamed myself for being too careless." Tang Qing's heart was full of endless self-blame.
Yesterday, after she learned that Mrs. Ma had decided to immerse Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su in a pig cage in Shiquan Town in accordance with the clan rules, she immediately reported to the Wuyang County Party Committee, who had just returned from Shanxi, and then rushed back to Shiquan Town with a platoon of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
In her mind, now it is the Kuomintang and the Communist Party that have joined forces to resist Japan, and the Eighth Route Army also belongs to the regular army sequence of the National Government.
Over the years, Tang Qing has been active in the area of Shiquan Town, forming a guerrilla force of more than ten people, and naturally had a contest with the largest landlord in Shiquan Town, Mrs. Ma. If there are still people in Shiquan Town who dare to offend the authority of Old Lady Ma, except for her Tang Qing, there has never been a second one.
It's a pity that this time, Mrs. Ma actually said that the regular army stationed in Wuyang County was mobilized, and the county police department sent more than a dozen policemen over.
With these Jin Sui troops and police protection, Tang Qing could only watch with hatred as Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su were carried onto the boat.
Especially when she saw Jiang Xuezhu and Su Su casting desperate eyes, she felt even more like a knife.
It's just that there is Jin Suijun in it, even if she wants to save people, she doesn't dare to order the soldiers to do it.
Liu Tianshu saw the boat coming, and immediately made a gesture to Hao Mengxuan, and then the two slowly immersed their bodies in the water, and a hollow reed rod was held in their mouths.
When the boat gradually sailed into the deep pool, Liu Tianshu nodded to Hao Mengxuan, his body quietly submerged in the water, and then slowly swam towards the pool.
When the two of them reached the pool, they heard the sound of water above their heads, and immediately threw the reed pole, and then quietly swam to the bottom of the boat, slowly probing from the other side.
The four men on the boat didn't think that there was anyone under the boat, but were busy preparing for the cage.
Liu Tianshu and Hao Mengxuan hid at the bottom of the boat, only half of their heads were exposed, and after a while, they heard a cold voice sound: "Put the cage." ”
I heard the two men lift the cage, go to the side of the boat, and then put it down, and suddenly the water splashed, and the cage containing Jiang Xuezhu fell into the water.
Hao Mengxuan immediately shrank his head and followed the cage down.
After a while, another cage was also thrown into the pool, and Liu Tianshu immediately followed the cage to dive.
The moment he grabbed the cage, Liu Tianshu grabbed a wooden bar with his right hand and broke it violently, and the cage was pulled out of a hole, and then Liu Tianshu broke another wooden bar. Reaching into the cage, he pulled out Susu, who had passed out, and quickly dived to the shore in his arms.
At this time, he had been taken by the cage to a depth of seven or eight meters, and he only felt the water around him flowing rapidly.
Fortunately, this deep pool is not big, he kicked his feet sharply, he was already close to the shore, and when he floated up, he touched the reed pole, and immediately gently separated, and swam to the reed forest while floating in the water, and in a blink of an eye, he held the **** Susu and drilled out of the water.
As soon as he came out of the water, his vigilant eyes immediately looked into the pool, and saw that the boat was rowing in a hurry in the direction of the empty dam, so he relieved himself, carried Su Su to the place where the clothes were placed, took a piece of clothing to cover Su Su's body, and then began to rescue.
At the same time that he started first aid for Su Su, Hao Mengxuan also rescued Jiang Xuezhu in the reed forest. Although Jiang Xuezhu was severely beaten by the Ma family, but after all, he was a man, and his body was much stronger than Susu, after Hao Mengxuan squeezed his stomach on his lap, Jiang Xuezhu spit out a puddle of yellow water and slowly woke up.
Liu Tianshu's first aid method was learned from Sengefu, he pressed Su Su's stomach a few times through his clothes, and then saw that Su Su, who was spitting out water, had not yet woken up, so he began to perform artificial respiration again.
Less than a minute after Hao Mengxuan woke up Jiang Xuezhu, Liu Tianshu heard Su Su let out a moan, and then those beautiful eyes slowly opened.
Seeing a soaking wet man in a white short coat squatting in front of him, Su Su didn't come back to his senses for a while, looked at Liu Tianshu and asked blankly, "Who are you?" Where is this? ”
Liu Tianshu heard her words, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Thank God, you finally woke up." ”
After speaking, Liu Tianshu sat on the ground.
After a while, Liu Tianshu remembered that Su Su was not wearing clothes, and hurriedly said: "I have prepared the clothes for you, if you can do it, you should put on the clothes first." ”
After speaking, he immediately got up and walked to Hao Mengxuan and Jiang Xuezhu not far away.
