Hundreds of people had gathered on the dam, four or five small boats rowing back and forth, and some people were diving in the murky water. The water surface is only 20 centimeters lower than the top of the dam, and the waves stirred up by the boats hit the earthen dam, giving people a sense of danger that the embankment could burst at any time.

The once clear water of the river has become turbid, with dead branches and broken trees floating by, the river has become wider, and the other side of the river seems much more distant.

The waves of the river, as if with unreasonable anger, rolled downstream.

One person surfaced, stroked a handful of water from his face, and shouted, "No, the water is so big, it must have washed away, you have to go downstream, and the turn over there in Taiping may be able to stop it." ”

Someone muttered, "Don't be a kid who is mischievous, such a big water, a fool won't go into the water!" ”

"That's right, do you know whose child shouted it?"

"I don't know, I heard that it was drowned! I was so scared that I quickly put the children together and counted them! ”

"It's the grandson of the old Shang family on the street, and he just let his mother go home!"

"Home?"

"Uh-huh!"

A tractor pulled from under the dam, and the tractor driver probed into the cab, shouting for the crowd to evacuate.

Everyone gossiped that there were children drowning, and asked him if he saw the children, and he said that he had seen four or five children playing in the area where he was working, but he bombarded them home. And the children who went into the water were not seen. When he turned his head and saw Lu Xiuzhi, he said, "Sister-in-law, there is the fourth child in your family among those children." ”

Lu Xiuzhi's face turned pale when she heard this, she was so panicked that she had no idea, turned around and desperately shuttled through the crowd, looking for her youngest son, her voice had already split, "Security!" Security guard! Aunt Han next door also shouted Han Dong's name in a trembling voice, but there was no response, and the parents of the nearby residents were also in a bad mood, and those who did not find their children were also anxiously shouting the names of the children at home.

For a time, there was chaos on the dam.

"Sister-in-law! I watched them get off the dam and go home! Don't worry! The man didn't expect Lu Xiuzhi to react like this, "Sister-in-law! You guys get off the dam! It's too dangerous here! Let's spread out! Spread out! ”

The crowd obediently dispersed a little, no longer gathering in one place.

The eldest son of the Han family came panting and ran over, "Mom! I didn't find Han Dong and them! ”

Aunt Han sat on the ground, opened her mouth, and couldn't cry for a long time.

"Did you look at my security guard?" Lu Xiuzhi grabbed the boss of the Han family and asked.

"Not either."

Lu Xiuzhi was also stupid.

Qi Baoping came over with Shen Mengxi in his arms, "Mom, don't worry, didn't Uncle Liu say that they got off the dam just now, maybe the fourth child is playing crazy somewhere!" ”

Lu Xiuzhi saw Shen Mengxi at a glance and said angrily: "You took her out Gaha?" It's dangerous here! Hurry back! ”

Without further ado, he picked up Aunt Han and followed the boat that was salvaged on the river, and went down the dam towards Taiping Village downstream.

"Mom, I'll go to Lao Shang's house and ask, who fell into the water, don't worry!" Qi Baoping grabbed his mother.

After saying that, he changed his sister's hand and hugged him, and got off the dam.

There was a commotion ahead, and it seemed that something had been salvaged. Qi Baoping stood up suddenly, Shen Mengxi hugged Qi Baoping's neck, and vaguely saw the naked figure in the fishing net in the crowd. Lu Xiuzhi and the others all rushed into the crowd desperately.

For a long time, there was no crying, and Shen Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not the fourth brother." ”

Qi Baoping nodded, and also breathed a sigh of relief, "Your fourth brother will definitely have to be beaten up today." ”

The crowd was talking.

"It's too dead, it's inseparable!"

"I've drowned the kids this year!"

"In previous years, there was at most one, so I said this year is not right!"

"Why do I look at this third child who looks like Lao Xia's family, find someone to go to his house and ask!"

There was a cry behind him, and a woman with a disheveled hair rushed to tear away the crowd.

The people got out of the way, and the woman, still with a spatula in her hand and an apron tied around her waist, pounced on the two children on the ground, pulled the face of one of them, and sat down on the ground.

People sighed in regret.

The woman lay on her back to the ground, closed her eyes, tilted her head and opened her mouth wide, and let out two desperate cries in her throat, and she fainted directly.

The women couldn't help but cry.

Qi Baoping put Shen Mengxi on the ground and asked her to stand still outside the crowd, and while taking off her half-sleeved shirt, she entered the crowd and covered the two boys.

A few minutes later, another family arrived, crying in pain.

The workers who built the dam came to drive them away, and when they saw the children who showed no signs of life, they were all deeply saddened.

"Where, where!" Shen Mengxi heard a familiar voice, and when he turned around, it was really Qi Baoan, followed by Han Dong. With heartless excitement, the two of them desperately squeezed into the crowd, squeezed to the front, saw that people were pinching the woman, and recognized the boy on the ground as an acquaintance, a little stunned, "Is it Xia Zhiguo?" That seems to be Zhong Xuewen? ”

The two boys were stupid, standing still in place, Han Dong cried and said, "Yesterday Xuewen said that he wanted to borrow tapes from me!" ”

People have begun to lift two tightly hugged boys off the dam with sheets, followed by grief-stricken families.

Lu Xiuzhi also saw her son, and walked out of the crowd with her ears, "Did you go into the water?" ”

"No, no!" Qi security guards shouted like killing pigs, and people looked over.

Lu Xiuzhi scratched his son's arm with his fingernails, and a white mark appeared on his arm. "Dare to lie!"

"Smack!" A slap in the face made the security guard's head buzz, and he covered the left side of his face and looked at his mother stupidly, not believing that she could hit him.

"Look at it!" Lu Xiuzhi trembled and pointed to the boy who was carried away in the distance, and then pointed to the grief-stricken Xia Mu who had just woken up. "Look at it! Do you want to die by yourself, or do you want your mother to die? Yes? Do you have a long heart? ”

Over there, Han Dong didn't escape the beating, his father rushed to hear the news, directly pulled out the belt from his waist, split his head and covered his face a few times, the belt buckle hit the head directly, a big bag bulged out from the corner of his forehead, and a red rin bulged out from his shoulder. Han Dong pouted, stalked his neck, and stubbornly didn't cry.

Qi Bao's chest bulged and shouted, "Hit me again!" Hit me again! If I'm dead, won't you beat me? ”

"Smack!" The right cheek was hit again, this slap was hit by Qi Baoping, and Lu Xiuzhi was already so angry that she collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.

Shen Mengxi hurriedly stepped forward and stroked her chest.

Qi Baoan also panicked when he saw this, and hugged Lu Xiuzhi and cried, "Mom! ”

Lu Xiuzhi was so angry that he pushed him away, and the Qi security guard cried and came up again, "Mom! ”

There was a circle of people watching the excitement on the side. Shen Mengxi reminded Qi Baoping to hurry home, Qi Baoping saw that his mother was a little calm, and hurriedly carried her home, Qi Baoxi had a slap mark on his face, and pulled Shen Mengxi to follow.
