Chapter 6: There Are People at the Bottom of the Well (2)
My trip is for the task, for the work, in the final analysis, it is for the money, and I will not refuse to make extra money. But what kind of work do you have to do? Not to mention the one in front of me.
If you want to say that Niangniang's temperament is like a master in Beijing, this one is a real master, who doesn't know the suffering of the world. The diameter of this wellhead is less than a meter, and the roller is not thick, so it is impossible for me to go down with such a big person.
When he saw me staring at the well, he jumped down and followed along. After thinking about it for a long time, it may have woken up, and it seems that it is a little difficult for a strong man.
"Why don't you go down and you'll drag me up there?"
What the? I was almost impressed by his naivety. Just such a stranger, who took a dog to bite him one minute, and dared to entrust his life to me the next?
He dares, I don't. Visually, he has to have more than 100 pounds, my skills are not good, in other words, there is no energy, and it is not easy to hold him.
"It's simple, you wrap the well rope around your waist, sit on the ground and fall, and I'll be stable."
I don't have much friendship with him, but I can't watch such a child put himself at risk. Anyway, I was a few years older than him, and I couldn't help but remind him that this mansion, which had been abandoned for many years, was much weirder. Ordinary places are not easy to go, let alone ancient wells.
But he didn't listen, and he was very stubborn. I'm going to ask, what's down there that has to go down? But he gave me a reason I couldn't refuse.
"There's someone down here! I'm afraid it won't last long. ”
There was a moment of blankness in my mind, and if there was anyone, it was Niangniang. It's just that he can't find it, so I don't think he hid here.
A strange child can take action, how can I see death and not save it? I didn't have time to ask, so I agreed.
As mentioned earlier, we removed the well rope. One end was firmly tied to my waist, and the other was tied to his waist. Near the riverbank, there must be water in this well. He picked up a rock from the ground and threw it down, and it seemed like it was still far away, which was not what we expected.
But I didn't react until he finished throwing it, and it was very likely that someone would have been smashed at the bottom just now. If I do, I'm not guilty of a small crime. It seems that this kid is more reckless than I am, but I can't listen to him.
I quickly stopped him, lay down at the mouth of the well, and shouted down.
"Hey! Anyone? ”
"Why......" kept echoing, but no one answered. Fainted? That's not good.
He scoffed at my behavior, snorted twice, and said, "It's okay if you really fall straight down, you can climb up along the well rope, and you still need us trouble?" ”
"And what do you mean?"
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and he didn't know what the new model was, the whole thing was a screen, and it was only in English. Bring up a picture with neat lines drawn on it, which is part of the CAD drawing. The blue background is yellowed, and it looks quite old.
The mouth of the well went straight down, and a passage was dug horizontally to the north at a distance of ten meters, leading to another shaft parallel to this one. However, the other well on the drawing is full of diagonal dotted lines with a question mark floating on it, so that the passage in the middle looks more like a separate space. Maybe I'm not quite right, but intuitively, it's what a coffin looks like. And the size mark on the top is very detailed, and if you do the math, it is also the size of the coffin.
Ten meters, just above and below the water. Even if there are people, eighty percent of them don't have much to survive.
"Alright, you go down. But if something happens to be shouted out in time, I'm so prepared. ”
He put away all his expressions, nodded calmly, and sat at the mouth of the well without saying a word. I also wanted to ask him how he was going to go down, but he took out a half-foot-long universal knife from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and propped his hands and feet on the wall of the well, moving down quickly like a spider. Seeing that his figure was getting smaller and smaller, I didn't dare to be careless, so I tightened the rope around my waist again, and sat on the ground with my back against the platform.
"No, pull me up!"
That's too fast, right? The rope around my waist hasn't been able to take up any strength, so he can't do it? When I dragged him up, his lips were purple and his pants were half wet.
"What? Didn't find it? ”
He couldn't say anything as he gasped, so he shook his head violently.
When I asked again, it turned out that I didn't know water. The coffin was found, but 90 percent of it was submerged. He wanted to hold his breath and touch it, but the well water was so cold that he didn't dare to linger longer.
"What about the man? See? ”
He shook his head again, and said with palpitations: "There is a wooden fence nailed to the entrance, and people are inside, but I don't know if they are still alive." ”
As soon as I heard this, my head "buzzed", and I didn't have time to think about anything. Anyway, the rope tied us both up, so I changed positions and replaced me.
I held the knife in my hand, trying to follow his example and prop up the wall of the well to go down. Who knew that this seemingly simple action was extremely demanding of strength. I had long legs that I couldn't stretch at all, and my arms weren't strong enough to support my body. Just less than half a meter down, the moss under his hands slipped, and the "swish" fell down.
It was a completely subconscious reaction, and I let out an "ah" cry, and it was the universal knife that fell faster than me. God, I only have one tool. With my size, the process of falling down was not smooth, and my knees and elbows knocked east and west on the wall of the well, "I fell into the well water with a pop, and I almost fainted in pain."
At this time, water cooling is not a problem at all, but it makes the wound on the body less painful. It's just that the kid was nervous, lying at the mouth of the well, shouting high and low. I had been floating on the surface for five minutes before I could catch my breath, completely ignoring him.
The bottom of this well can almost be said to be out of sight, and when you look up, you can see a round sky, incomparably far away. I was a little distracted, thinking that if I was trapped here, I don't know if I would still be able to survive.
I didn't have any tools, so I had to touch it with both hands, and after looking for half a circle, I felt something elastic. It was wet and soft, and I was so frightened that I quickly let go.
Although the hand was withdrawn, there was a little residue in the gap between the nails. Smell it close to your nose, and there is a bit of wood in the earthy smell. I realized that this was what he called a wooden fence, probably basswood, which had been soaked in water and began to rot.
But then again, the wooden fences are decaying, so how long do anyone have to stay inside?
I was so large that this one got into the water, and the coffin floor was completely submerged under water. If people are still alive, they must hurry and hurry, or they will be choked to death.
"Anyone? Respond! ”
I almost want to slap myself when I ask this sentence, everyone is immersed in the pig cage, how should I respond? I really can't tolerate my stupidity for a while.
I reflected, kicking at the sticks, hoping to break them. Although I didn't have the strength to use it underwater, I smashed it with my grab belt and broke half of it. With such a beginning, I have a lot of confidence in the future.
In this way, I was busy for five minutes, and almost removed the top ones, although there was still a little stubble, but if the person was followed, it should be no problem to come out.
That's what I did, saving people is like fighting a fire, and it's not negotiable now.
I swam closer, my chest against the fence and my hand inside. In fact, this action is really stupid, because the moment I touch the entity, the whole person is not good. It's a hundred times more terrifying than touching rotten wood, it's human feet, bare feet!
It may not take half a second, but I quickly retreated to the wall of the well on the other side, and my back touched the stone before I felt a little more steady. The shoes are all off, is that a dead man?
It's not like it, although there is no temperature, and he doesn't move, but I just feel that people are still alive.
I couldn't do it anymore, so I reached in again and found him face up against the wall. Before I came down, there was still a space of ten or twenty centimeters, and he relied on this bit of air to breathe in this posture.
I touched his ankle and gently flipped him over through the gap in the fence so that he was facing his back down. At this time, his whole body was already immersed in water, but he did not struggle. Fortunately, this man was not bound by anything, and with a gentle tug, the water surged, and his two feet were smoothly pulled out.
I can't see clearly in this place, and I honestly don't want to look at him. As soon as I got started, I could be sure that he wasn't a mother, but he was still a person anyway. I smoothed him out little by little, as long as the hip bone can come out, it depends on what kind of hand it is. If he insists on opening his invisible wings, he can only say that the sky is not over.
This guy probably just doesn't damn it, my hands are frozen and unconscious. Put it on his chest to warm up, press down his buttocks, and put his legs down to touch his waist. Fortunately, he still has a belt, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it. Carrying his belt in one hand and supporting his ...... in the other I really don't want to say where. Anyway, he's no different from dead, but I hope he's ignorant and unconscious.
I kept backing away, pulling his back up and coming out little by little. My heart is very tired, and I feel like I am delivering a baby in an ancient well. The arm that worried me the most wasn't messing up, because I found out that he was actually cutting his hands behind his back! If it weren't for the one above who found him, he would never have escaped by himself, who had he offended to trap him alive?
My heart tightened for a while, and the movements of my hands became faster, and my shoulders came out very smoothly. I put my hand in to protect the back of his head, and as soon as I grabbed him, he was completely out of trouble.
It really didn't move at all as if he was dead, and he sank straight out of the hole. I put my hand between his arms by his back. I knew that as soon as I left the water, such a movement would definitely pull his bound wrist, and I would dislocate it. But as long as people can live, it's worth it.
His vest was pressed against my chest, but I didn't really feel my heart beating at all. With a tousled face hanging down, I shouted in his ear a few times, but there was no response.
I hope he can live, even if it is for us not to waste our efforts, and I feel that he does not deserve to die so desolately.
"Dude, someone is waiting for you, don't let him down."
The little guy heard the movement and pulled the rope with a hey. I didn't know what to eat to grow up, so I lifted both of us up with a strong force. As soon as the person came out of the water, I felt his weight, which was a real death.
I could only hold him up with my knees against the wall of the well, and it took less than half a second to come down and go up for half an hour. I grabbed the mouth of the well, and the little guy came up and dragged the man out, and dragged him aside to rescue him. There were bursts of gold stars in front of my eyes, and I fell down at the mouth of the well for half a day, and when I looked down, I found a little blood on the blades of grass. The rough well rope was thrown on the ground, and there were several bloody handprints, and the little guy also fought it.
I climbed out, poured water from my shoes, and when I looked again, the little guy was doing CPR on him. I also leaned over to help, and as soon as I got closer, I almost had the urge to retreat, and I couldn't bear to look at the scene.
To say that this man is still alive, I would rather believe that he is dead, at least not to be swollen like a giant, and will he be able to recover in the future?
The little guy moves very professionally, although both hands are covered with blood, he still methodically beats his chest and does artificial respiration. At this time, I actually found a person standing in the artemisia grass, I don't know if I was tired and dazzled or what, looking at him as if he was looking at a huge negative. There is only a cyan phantom, which is extremely unreal.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at it, where else was there? The little guy put the man on his knee and patted his back, and the man's mop-like half-length hair shook rhythmically. After a dozen or so pats, his shoulders shrank and he coughed softly.
I really think it's amazing, even though it's weak, but this person is able to cough up water on his own!
"He's alive?!"
The little guy kept on his hands, but I could feel him breathe a sigh of air. I couldn't see their faces clearly against the light, but I could only hear the young man's voice clear and happy.
"Thank you so much, you go back first, I can handle it here."
"Oh."
It's time for me to go, I've found someone, and my mother hasn't been whereabouts yet. Just as I turned around, his voice behind me sounded again: "Please keep it secret for me, I will repay you." ”
I was curious and asked him, "What's your surname?" ”
"Don't be expensive, Shen Qiming."
