Chapter 13: The River of My Home
A county under the jurisdiction of a city is located in the southeast of Zhejiang Province, which is rich in water resources, mineral resources, biological resources, dozens of species of national protected animals, and has a long history here, and there are human beings living and breeding here as far back as the Neolithic Age.
A man who lives here is away all the year round because of college, the year of graduation, invited his best roommate Xiao Liu to come here as a guest, Xiao Liu was born in the city, from childhood to adulthood in the city, even travel is rare, listen to his roommate keep talking about how the scenery of his hometown is, and take out a mobile phone photo to show Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu also yearns after seeing it, and after discussing with the family, the family agreed to let Xiao Liu live for a week, if you want to go home at any time.
Xiaoliu and his roommate went to the roommate's hometown, everything is good here, you can go anywhere to play, all kinds of natural scenery, large and small ancient villages, revolutionary sites, and the characteristic scenic spots here make Xiaoliu happy to feel that he has crossed, because the holiday time is not the golden period of tourism, so there are not many people, so Xiaoliu has more fun, after playing in the morning, the roommate takes Xiaoliu home for dinner, passing by a river, the roommate warns Xiaoliu not to swim in the river, often people drown here, and some people are alleged to commit suicide, Although the police have come several times, investigated many times, seen many times, and thought of many ways to stop them, people who want to die, even if they do not commit suicide here, will find another place to die, so in the end, they can only put a few more signs to remind tourists to be careful, pay attention to safety, and warn tourists that the river is dangerous, and it is forbidden to swim and enter the water.
After eating at noon, the roommate wants to take a nap, Xiaoliu wants to go out and continue to play, but the roommate wants to take a nap and has no choice but to go out alone, Xiaoliu walked and walked to the road by the river, looked at the river, and looked at the people around, Xiaoliu arrived at the river, thinking that I would wash my face, Xiaoliu picked up a handful of water with his hand and slapped it on his face, which was extremely refreshing, Xiaoliu thought about it, he had never taken a bath in the open air in the city, swam and swimmed, anyway, there was no one here, and such an exciting thing, this kind of opportunity is not every day, I couldn't help but laugh a little, so I took off my clothes and went swimming.
Swimming, he felt as if someone was swimming in the middle, still a child, the child was very good at diving, and was still spinning underwater, which made Xiao Liu even more excited, swam over and wanted to chat with the child, learn from the child, when he swam over, Xiao Liu felt that he was confused and wanted to sleep, but there was no one in the middle, Xiao Liu thought that the child should not drown, right? Suddenly scared and wanted to swim back to the shore to find someone to help, and was about to call the police, but at this time, I suddenly felt that I grabbed myself with many hands on my bare feet, and I sank to the bottom of the river weakly.
At this time, the roommate was rushing to find Xiao Liu, when the roommate was taking a nap, he heard a mobile phone ringing, he glanced at Xiao Liu's mobile phone, the caller was Xiao Liu's mother, and hung up before he picked it up, the roommate took the mobile phone and ran all the way to find Xiao Liu, ran and saw the clothes by the river, and saw Xiao Liu showing half of his head and bubbling, and began to sink down slowly, this time the roommate panicked, put down the mobile phone, took off his shoes and jumped into the river, and shouted Xiao Liu's name loudly while swimming, Xiao Liu looked at his roommate in a daze, The roommate took off his shirt and threw it over, Xiao Liu grabbed the other end, the roommate pulled back, Xiao Liu's hand was weakly released, and the roommate was also afraid of the middle of the river, but he gritted his teeth and swam forward to hug Xiao Liu, and then swam backwards, but it felt like a tug of war, it was difficult to drag Xiao Liu back, and his strength was about to be exhausted.
At this time, there were people who went out to drink and came home passing by, and when they saw this scene, they jumped into the river to rescue without thinking about it, but this drunk adult man felt very hard, and finally rescued Xiaoliu after a while, the adult man and his roommate were tired and lying on the ground and breathing, and the roommate called Xiaoliu twice and found that Xiaoliu was not awake, so he called an ambulance, and after being sent to the hospital, the doctor said that it was an anoxic coma, so it was good to rest for a while.
After a while, when the roommate saw Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu was lying on the hospital bed, and when he saw his roommate come in, he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you." The roommate shook his head and said that you are fine, asked a few words about his situation, and asked him if he could not water? Xiao Liu said negatively: "I was a strong swimmer in the class when I was in elementary school, and I also went out to participate in competitions on behalf of the school, how could I not know water." Later, he told how he saw the child, how he passed, and how he felt that someone was catching him sinking.
Xiaoliu wanted to call the police to find out what was going on, but his roommate persuaded him to forget it, this was obviously your own negligence, Xiaoliu was angry: "Said that I was pulled down, and it seems that there is a child, you didn't see if there are any children anywhere?" That kid could drown!! The roommate had an unnatural expression on his face, and after a while, he said to Xiaoliu: "I also heard about it, I heard that the river was in my second year of college, there were four children who went there to swim, and all of them drowned, and then someone went there to swim and they would be drowned, and some of them came to travel by here, and they felt as if they saw children, so they thought about going to see what was going on, and when they reacted, they had fallen into the middle of the river, and then they drowned, and then they died where they died, whether they drowned by swimming, or they drowned by suspected suicide, They all died in the middle, I was also scared when I saved you just now, I didn't dare to go to the middle, I wanted to give you a piece of clothing for you to grab, but your hand was loose, and then when I held you and swam back, you were very heavy, like someone pulled you back, which made me very scared, and it was a pity that some villagers passed by and saved us both, otherwise it is estimated that we would both die. ”
Xiao Liu was very frightened after hearing this, and was stunned for a while and said, "Are you lying to me?" The roommate lowered his head and didn't look at Xiao Liu, took a deep breath and said, "It's true, the four children who drowned were in the middle of the river at the time, they were all from our village, and I still know them, we can live thanks to that villager, because one of the children is the second son of the villager, and his son may have recognized him, so he let go and let you go." ”
Xiaoliu fell silent, after being discharged from the hospital, he didn't live for a week as originally planned, and left in three days, and at the same time invited his roommate to live in his house, and the two had a good time, and the matter was put down.
Although this incident has passed like this, if anyone goes to travel again, I hope everyone can abide by the local rules and see the content of the warning signs: the river is dangerous, no swimming. Don't always take chances, or the price of death will be too high.
