Chapter Forty-Nine: Saving Lives
This guy is also a second person, and when he fooled me, he immediately took the commissioner appointed by my superior to inspect the work, and his attitude towards us was very respectful.
Chen Yun didn't want to waste time, so she waved her hand to interrupt me, who was still talking nonsense with Li Changshun, and directly inquired about Professor He's whereabouts, and said that among the last wave of archaeological commissioners who came to you, was there an old professor surnamed He?
Li Changshun thought about it for a while, and muttered that since the flood control dam burst and washed away the ancient tomb at the foot of the back mountain, we have become lively here, there are too many people on top, today Professor Zhang, tomorrow Secretary Wang, which surname He, I didn't pay much attention to distinguish, but two days ago led a team to inspect the team, there is indeed a gray-haired old professor, looking at the beard and ballast, the face is a little fierce, I don't know if it is the Professor He you are looking for.
Chen Yun said yes, you can take us over to have a look.
Li Changshun had a difficult face, saying that this could not be helped, and the top issued an order, except for the archaeological team in front, no one was allowed to approach the place where the embankment broke, one was to prevent falling into the water and causing death, and the other was that he was afraid that the treasures in the ancient tomb would make people blush and have a vicious theft and excavation incident.
I cleared my throat and said Do you think we are that kind of people, we were also sent by the government to help Professor He organize archaeological work.
Li Changshun is just more straightforward, but he is not really stupid, saying that if you are really here to help the group of people in front of you archaeology, why haven't I received news here?
I was in a hurry, and I was about to make up a reason to scare him, but unexpectedly, a young man with metal glasses in the village committee quickly ran towards us, shouting that it was not good, it was not good, when Professor He went down the cave, he accidentally stumbled and fell into the water, the village chief, you quickly send someone to save it.
What the?
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and the village chief summoned people in a slippery manner, and he didn't care about arguing with us, and the group walked to the back mountain and came to the mouth of the river bursting the embankment.
Although Lijiatun is a remote place, because of a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so the flood control dam was built here, the location is more important, we climbed the dam head, and saw the surging river after the heavy rain rolled up the rolling waves, the water waves rushed to the head, rolling roaring and washing on the flood control dam, and the earthquake shook the ground.
Both sides of the canyon are rocky, only one place in the center is a little flat, there are traces of being thought to be filled, and the loess has collapsed nearby, piled up into a large soil bag, and the bottom of the mound is connected to a black and swarthy mouth, like the big mouth of the dragon lord, hideous and ugly, and it is terrifying to touch.
The young man who took us up to the head of the dam pointed to the mouth and shouted, saying that the water was too fast, Professor He said that if the flood did not recede, it was very likely that the high tide would directly wash away the tomb of the ancient tomb, so he took the risk to take a few students down, and it was okay for two days in a row, who knew that the water level of the flood actually rose a little higher today, and suddenly the tomb was washed away.
Hearing this, Li Changshun stomped his feet and shouted Oh, the old professor from the city, if something really happened to us, how can I follow up and explain!
I heard that Professor He may be swept away by the flood, Chen Yun is also in a hurry, you must know that there are still many questions about the mystery of the ancient Yelang ruins, she still has many questions that have not been solved, this time it is a special trip to solve the confusion, it is a coincidence, Professor He rushed to go wrong at this time, but no one thought of it.
Looking at the rolling river that constantly washed the embankment under his feet, Chen Yun was anxious, and turned back to me and said to me Sima Nan, such a fast current, are you confident that you can go down to save people?
I stepped on my feet and looked down, and said in my heart that such a big flood, whoever went down was stupid, they were all for the Dragon King, but in front of so many people, it was not good to say this directly, so I said that if Professor He was really washed into the river, it was best to salvage the corpse and cut it off, and the corpse could not be fished out here.
As soon as my words fell, the young man who had brought us here before was not happy, and pointed at me and said Who are you, why are you blindly cursing Professor He to die?
I said that with such a big wave, people are not fish, can they still survive after being swept down? Chen Yun pinched me with his hand, told me to close the crow's mouth, and then said, "Professor He just fell, and the place where he fell was not directly washed into the river, but the tomb on the mountain wall, the water level is not too high, maybe he has not soaked in the tomb entrance, maybe he can send someone down now, and he can rescue people!" ”
What does Chen Yun mean by this, my heart is like a mirror, but this water is so fast, once people go down, they will fight with their lives, Ge Zhuang and I are to make a fortune, and Professor He is not related to him, why should he take such a big risk to save people?
Seeing that I hadn't spoken, Chen Yun suddenly became anxious, stomped his foot, pointed at Ge Zhuang and said, "Fatty, will you go into the water with me to save people?" Ge Zhuang was not stupid, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Big sister, such a big flood, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it if I go down."
Chen Yun said angrily, "Okay, you all refuse to go into the water, right, then I'll save people, village chief, please help me find a few ropes." ”
Seeing that she was going to move seriously, Ge Zhuang and I were so frightened that we hurriedly grabbed her, I said with a bitter face Okay, let's let me and the fat man come, you have no experience in going into the water to save people, don't you go down to send snacks to the Dragon King!
I really don't want to mess with this body, but Chen Yun is such a character, the axis is very good, Ge Zhuang and I really can't do anything about her, so we can only turn back and preach to Li Changshun, "Village chief, the organization has given you an important task, you hurry back to the village to get the rope, the more the better, mobilize men, women and children to cut down trees, first make a simple crane, this water flow is too fast, to go down the grave must hang people from above." ”
The bespectacled young man who followed us said, "Then where is the time, only now to find the rope, and when the villagers put you down, the daylilies will be cold." ”
I said, if you're in a hurry, why don't you swim over by yourself?
I took his eyes horizontally, he couldn't speak, he lowered his head and was still muttering, saying What the hell are you, why haven't I seen you?
Chen Yun immediately took out his work card and explained briefly, saying that we came to look for Professor He, and we didn't expect this kind of thing to happen halfway, and the detailed reasons will be discussed when we rescue people first.
There are many people who are easy to do, Li Changshun's prestige in the village is not small, and he quickly organized people, brought ropes and *, cut off two big trees, hung them on the edge of the cliff, and took ropes to be tied to them, and made a simple "elevator", this canyon is very narrow, spanning less than ten meters at both ends, and two big trees fall side by side, which can just serve as a fixed support point.
