Chapter 41: Saving People from the Ice Lake

"Hey, this kid, a full man doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry!"

"Look at him like that, still pretending!"

After listening to Li Tieguo's words, the two roommates immediately jumped up from the bed after reading Li Tieguo's reaction and appearance, and then stood in front of Li Tieguo and pointed at Su Tongzhi, as if they were criticizing people, as if they were complaining, and after Su Tongzhi listened to their conversation, his face was a little cold, he didn't even smile, and he just lay down and said that he would go to bed early tomorrow morning.

And the flow of time has always been from slow to fast, the first years are always difficult, unforgettable, fresh in memory, and endless aftertaste, just a few days before going to college, passed very slowly, but then time is faster day by day, in the blink of an eye, autumn to winter, the south is also winter, Li Tieguo and Xu Fangling on the letter on the exchange is less and less, the reason is also very simple, Xu Fangling in the reply letter is always step-by-step, Li Tieguo asked what she answered, there is nothing superfluous to say,

And after Li Tieguo integrated into the collective, the loneliness in him faded a lot, and there were many fewer problems in life, so she didn't say anything between the two, I didn't ask, so I had nothing to talk about.

Winter is a season of snow in the north and ice and rain in the south, and the school curriculum is almost the same after the winter, replaced by winter vacation and more after-school activities.

Before the winter vacation, Tong Yingwan once again went to the bottom of the men's dormitory to find Li Tieguo, before that, she had also looked for Li Tieguo after class, but basically every time Li Tieguo said that he had just finished class, he wanted to sort out his notes, and there were still some things he didn't understand that still needed to be answered.

So Tong Yingwan didn't want to say anything, but later she heard too much about this reason, and she was a little angry, and she stopped looking for Li Tieguo, but slowly she found out one thing, that is, if she didn't take the initiative to find Li Tieguo, Li Tieguo, a young man, would be like a nerd, and it would be impossible to take the initiative to find her, and it could even be said that she had forgotten her, so on the eve of the winter vacation, Tong Yingwan came to Li Tieguo again,

"This year, the park lake in the city is frozen, and it is cold during this time, and few people have dug holes to fish, and many people have gone to skate on it, which is said to be very fun, why don't you go for a walk together?"

Tong Yingwan wore a light blue cotton jacket today, clothes of this color were rare in that era, but it can also be said to be a fashion, and freezing on the southern lake is also rare, as for Li Tieguo, he is still dressed in gray and earth-colored clothes, completely intoxicated with the ocean of knowledge,

"No, it's about to be winter vacation, I have to take enough notes and materials to bring back, or I will live up to the trust and ...... of the party committee in me."

"You're just a little bit away, huh?"

Li Tieguo is still the same old look, he is reading or something, and wants to refuse Tong Yingwan's invitation, but this time Tong Yingwan is like the first time, stretching out her little hand and grabbing Li Tieguo's arm, and then she walked out, while walking, she was still talking about what to study to combine work and rest, like him to learn, she would become a fool, as the head of the class, she couldn't watch the class members fall like this, so she had to take him out to breathe and take a walk, and Li Tieguo was pulled by Tong Yingwan like this, and his face was red again, After that, I was embarrassed to refuse again, so I let Tong Yingwan walk out of the school, and was seen by some people along the way, and they also pointed at it, as if it was abnormal.

"Ask you a question?"

On the way to the downtown park, Tong Yingwan turned her white little face, revealing her delicate facial features and looking at Li Tieguo, and Li Tieguo nodded when she heard this, and she didn't seem to care much, but she said Li Tieguo as she said,

"The word "talking on paper" originated from Zhao Kuo in the Warring States Period, but the invention of paper was Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was no such thing as paper in the Warring States Period, but why is there the word "talking about soldiers on paper?"

Tong Yingwan looked up with a small face, smiling, as if she was quite interested in the question she raised, looking forward to Li Tieguo, who was studying every day, saying something, and then discussing it with him.

And Li Tieguo frowned after listening to Tong Yingwan's words, where he thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally turned his head to look at Tong Yingwan,

"You said that during the Warring States Period and the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was in front and who was behind? I... I haven't studied much history, and everything I know is from the old people! ”

......

Tong Yingwan heard Li Tieguo's answer, she was speechless, her mouth was in a line, she turned her head sideways and glanced at Li Tieguo, and then sighed, looking at Li Tieguo's ignorant but very curious look, she was also very helpless, so she could only accompany Li Tieguo to talk about China's thousands of years of historical changes, and Li Tieguo was full of interest in this, and kept asking her, and then told the historical events she knew, asking her if it was true or false, Tong Yingwan heard Li Tieguo's words, and sometimes pouted and was too lazy to care, sometimes pouting and asking him if he is a fool, there is always a lot of noise on the road,

When they walked all the way to the city park, Li Tieguo and Tong Yingwan were still communicating, and Li Tieguo also admired her a little in his heart, as if he knew everything, and he was like an ignorant child.

"Slide?"

After walking for a while, on a piece of ice in the park, Tong Yingwan stopped, then tilted her head and blinked her eyes, and gestured to the ice on the lake, it seemed that she wanted to go over and walk on the ice, and Li Tieguo glanced at the lake when she heard this, and shook his head,

"It's not interesting, I feel..."

"Everyone is sliding and playing, why are you saying it's boring!"

Li Tieguo was born in the north, in the winter in the northeast can be seen everywhere, and even more are a little annoying, a rain can be skated everywhere for a while, as for the lake and the big puddle, it will freeze every year, Li Tieguo played these when he was a child, and now that he has finally grown up, he can't be interested in these at all, this is like a person who was born on the grassland and eats mutton every day, you suddenly pull him to eat roast lamb legs, and say that this is delicious, can he love to eat?

"Let's go!"

Tong Yingwan, who grew up in the south, is a very lively girl, and the winter in the south rarely sees snow, let alone the lake is frozen, and the temperature in most areas can be kept above freezing. Just want to walk on the ice, it's also a kind of curiosity,

Li Tieguo was originally very helpless about this kind of slippery and stabbing game, but he was pulled by Tong Yingwan's arm, and he had no choice but to follow, but he was completely listless, what is so interesting about this phenomenon that can be seen everywhere in the north...

Poof!

Just as Li Tieguo followed Tong Yingwan to the lake and walked inside, Li Tieguo looked at the ice on the lake, which was quite thick and strong, but just when Li Tieguo was relieved to walk inside, a splash suddenly splashed in the distance, and then many children around there stood up, and no one spoke and didn't know what was wrong.

"Someone has fallen!"

After a few seconds, a little boy finally pointed to the fishing hole in front of him and shouted, and then some adults around who didn't know what was going on reacted and ran over in a few seconds.

"Help!"

"Come on!"

"Who knows how to water, come here!"

As the adults surrounded them, soon someone shouted loudly, and then more people ran over, and among them were Li Tieguo and Tong Yingwan, at this time they also heard the sound, because they were far away and didn't know what was going on.

"Find the rope!"

After Li Tieguo arrived, he took a look at the ice cave that had been chiseled by someone, and he instantly understood that most of the holes for fishing in winter in the north were common on the surface of the lake.

And there are also people who have fallen, this phenomenon every family of parents have told their children, very young children can be a little better, what the family says to do what they do, easy not to play around the fishing hole, but the kind of half-old children, and will be a little watery, is the easiest to get into trouble on this, they have their own opinions, feel that there is nothing wrong, and this kind of frozen lake in the south is not common,

So I really want to get closer to see, and then catch fish, but often as long as it slips, it is easy to slip directly in, and in winter people are wearing thick cotton jackets or thick sweaters, this kind of clothes are very absorbent, once people wear these slip in, adults have strength is good, the water is better, maybe you can still rush up, but if it is a half-old child, that wearing this body fell in, soon disappeared, even the rescue is not easy to save, in the north many people see someone digging holes in the lake, will come forward to stop, After all, whoever falls into this kind of thing is a family!

"Li Tieguo, what are you doing?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Stop!"

"You're crazy!"

When Li Tieguo saw the scene in front of him, he already knew that there was no extra time to think about it, if he didn't go down to save people, he didn't have to save it, life and death were at stake for a moment, so it was too late to think about it, and immediately Li Tieguo stood outside the crowd and began to take off his coat directly, and although no one in the surrounding crowd noticed him,

But Tong Yingwan, who was standing beside him, immediately found out, so she frowned suspiciously at first, and after a second, she reacted, and immediately reached out to grab Li Tieguo's arm, and her face was full of fear and panic, as if someone was going to do something to her,

"It's too late!"

Li Tieguo was pulled by Tong Yingwan like this, and he was also a little flustered, and then directly crossed his hand, and the opponent tore off Tong Yingwan's small hand, and then unbuttoned a button and took off his coat.

"Don't be like this, there must be another way, don't be impulsive!"

"Let's think again!"

...........

Tong Yingwan saw that she couldn't stop Li Tieguo, so she shouted at him at the top of her voice, pulling his sweater and not letting him pass, but Li Tieguo would ignore him completely, and with a casual flick, Tong Yingwan's little hand couldn't catch his sweater, and then he pushed away the crowd and walked directly to the edge of the fishing hole.

"You're back!"

Tong Yingwan's voice was already shouting, but she couldn't stop Li Tieguo at all, and she couldn't even squeeze through the crowd, and Li Tieguo looked at the lake under the ice at this moment, his eyes were firm and resolute, as if this was not what he wanted, but he had to do it, saving people was a matter of course, and there was no need to think about anything else.

"It's okay, I've been in the north for many years, and the water under the ice is not cold!"

Li Tieguo heard Tong Yingwan shouting at him hoarsely from behind, the people around him looked at him in shock, he turned around and smiled faintly at Tong Yingwan, and then...

Poof!

The water under the frozen lake in winter is indeed not cold, but it is far lower than the body temperature of the person, and it can even be said that it is a little higher than zero, if you are wearing cotton clothes in this weather, it is nothing to stay for half a day, but the water is not outside, his temperature is directly attached to the skin of the person, so the person in the water is equal to the naked, and in this environment it is no problem for people to insist on more than ten seconds, but more than a minute the person's body function will decline significantly, and if it is longer, the person will freeze, Until he was frozen to death in the end, so Li Tieguo's jump, he still had to find the half-old child who had just fallen, and dragged him up, the cold water temperature would have made his movements more and more slow, plus dragging a person, this jump was simply more and more auspicious.

And after Li Tieguo just entered the water, the cold water that came to his face made him feel refreshed, tingling all over his body, and the cold chill penetrated into people's hearts, but his water nature was not bad, so after swimming down a few times, he was not far from the bottom of the lake, and the lake was not too deep.

A few seconds later, Li Tieguo saw the half-old child, at this time he was swinging his arms, trying to kick his legs, it seemed that he could swim, and the water should be good, but his strength was not enough to let him go up after the coat and cotton pants were wet, and his movements were getting slower and slower, and he gradually stopped moving, it seemed that after the body was frozen, the body reached the limit,

A few seconds later, Li Tieguo held the boy's waist with both hands, and pushed up with his legs, at this time his strength was also greatly consumed, he originally wanted to take off the boy's coat, but he also knew that he couldn't last long in this ice water, instead of grinding and chirping to waste his strength, it was better to simply drag it up, he was such a big young man, and he used to do a lot of physical work, this bit of strength was still enough, but when he was kicking upstream, soon his legs were a little disobedient, and it was not pumped, It's just that the muscles may have some wood, which may have something to do with the injuries he suffered before in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, in short, he is getting more and more difficult.

"Li Tieguo!"

Ten seconds... Twenty seconds... Half a minute... Forty seconds... One minute

The crowd gathered at the entrance of the fishing hole thought about the boy who jumped in just now, in addition to the shock and admiration on his face, as time passed, he also became a little more and more painful, and as soon as this person entered, he was completely gone!

In addition to the collective grief and grief of these people, only Tong Yingwan lay on the water surface at the entrance of the cave with red eyes, and kept shouting Li Tieguo's name in a crying voice, as if she was afraid that he would not find the direction to come up.

Call~~~

After a minute passed, many people were silent, but just a few seconds after a minute had passed, a wave suddenly appeared on the water at the entrance of the cave, and then soon a figure was lifted up from the water.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Pull him, pull him!"

"Come on, come on!"

Just after Bodo appeared, many silent people had already paid attention to the water, and then when a figure was lifted out of the water, the surrounding crowd organized a pull at the first time, so soon the child who was lifted up was pulled to the ice by the crowd, but when the child was pulled out, they looked back at the cave with respect, but they did not find the young man who jumped down, the water surface at the cave returned to calm, and the Bodo just now seemed to be just a moment, It was as if the child had been pushed up by the river god.

"Li Tieguo!"

Tong Yingwan stared at the water surface at the entrance of the cave, dumbfounded, her eyes were straight, and her voice that had just shouted broken her voice seemed to be unable to make much noise no matter how hard she tried, so she could only open her mouth quietly, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.
