Chapter 099: Rescued in a desperate situation
The current was fierce, and the force of the impact was very great, Xing Yi grabbed the vine with both hands, and with the help of the current, he was sent to the shore, and he could climb up the ditch.
The plan was right, but the vine was embedded in a stone crevice and stuck, and he was stranded under a protruding rock, half of his body in the water, and it was more difficult to climb up than to climb to the sky, and the low bank that could be climbed was still more than ten meters away from him, and if he wanted to get close, he had to give up the vine, because the head of the vine in his hand was less than a foot left. He knew what it meant to let go now, and without the traction of the vines, he would have been swept away by the torrent.
It is theoretically feasible to continue to stay here, wait for the water to weaken and the current to calm down, and then swim hard, but it will take time to test, who knows how long this reservoir will be open, an hour or two hours can be held, but what if it is a whole day and 24 hours?
Don't dare to think about it anymore, the instinct to survive prompted him to raise his head and stretch his neck: "Help!" Help me! "Shouted twice.
Despite his best efforts, his voice was muffled by the rattling of the river, and it sounded like mosquitoes flying past his ears, so that although he opened his mouth for the third time, he did not make a sound.
Is it really in a desperate situation?
He began to think wildly, this life has only begun, all his dreams and all his plans have not been carried out, is this over?
A wave suddenly came to his face, and the mud and sand rushed to his neck, and on his face, he freed his hand to wipe the mud and sand off his face, and closed his eyes to prevent the mud and sand from getting into his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, blinked my eyelids, and looked into the distance, I couldn't help but shake my whole body, and tried to make myself jump out of the water, and I only jumped a foot, and my head touched the rock, but fortunately the rock was smooth and didn't hurt much, but even if it bleed, it was worth it.
It turned out that he saw two people waving their arms at him, shouting and shouting on the other side of the ditch, thirty meters away from him.
He was so excited that he could stretch out his hand as far as he could, and his five fingers were raised in the air to spread hard, clench, and open again.
The voices were still inaudible, but Xing Yi could see their series of movements more clearly.
They found two trees, tied them with vines, ran to a smaller part of the mouth of the river, stretched them into the water, grabbed one end of the tree, and stretched out the other end, and put it on the rocks in the ditch to form a railing.
They were almost lying on the shore, holding the trees firmly with both hands, giving a signal, Xing Yi let go, drifted down the water, took advantage of the situation to grab the trees, and was rescued.
After going ashore, Xing Yi thanked him repeatedly. The two said that it was nothing, and they couldn't stand by and watch when they saw people's difficulties.
The two of them found dry wood, set up a bonfire, and let him bake wet clothes, and they brought shochu and tortillas with them.
After drinking two sips of wine and eating half a tortilla, my physical strength recovered a lot.
These two people were carrying pickaxes, ropes, sacks, and bulging sacks, Xing Yi knew that it was a stone at a glance, and his heart moved, and he took the initiative to ask: "Do you live around here?" ”
They replied, "No, we live more than 30 kilometers from here." ”
"Then you're going to visit relatives?"
"No, we're here looking for stones."
"There are stones everywhere, why do you come here to find them, what kind of stones are they?"
"Colored stones."
"What are you going to do with colored stones?"
"I don't know, someone asks for it, and if we give money, we will come out to find it."
"Someone paid you to find a stone? It's strange, what kind of person is it? ”
"I don't know, we sent the stone to a restaurant in the countryside, and the owner of the hotel accepted the stone, and then waited for the person to come and see it, and then he was sure that he needed it, so he would give us money."
"Interesting, how many rocks did you find and send them?"
"I found a lot of them, and I sent them all to the hotel."
"You send stones to the boss, and the boss will give you money right away? Or do you have to wait for that person to come and see it? ”
"If the stone is sent, you won't get the money right away, it is estimated that it will take two or three days."
"Do you have any feelings, will you pay the bill then?"
"Let's see, the owner of the hotel has made a guarantee, if it is a stone that the person really likes, he will definitely give a big price."
"Oh, that's right, so what kind of person is this person who needs stones?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it."
The clothes are dry, and the time is about the same.
Xing Yi said: "I'm really sorry, you delayed the time to find the stone because you saved me." Tell me your names and addresses, and I'll come and thank you sometime. ”
The two reported their names, one was named Luo Huan and the other was Peng Yingneng, both from Yangliu Village, Shaxi Township.
Xing Yi also informed his name, address and place of work.
It was very late to return to the county seat.
I called Yang Linxiang at noon the next day, and after meeting, I told him that my father had a strange disease, found an old Chinese medicine doctor, and prescribed a prescription, seventeen or eighteen flavored medicinal materials, and the most difficult thing to find was to ask for a stone with the color of chicken blood red as a medicine primer.
The old Chinese medicine doctor explained that this kind of stone is very rare, and it can be said that it is relatively difficult to find, and it can only be found in the beach of the river ditch.
There is a quick and good way, which is to send advertisements to expand the awareness, so that it is possible to find the stone as soon as possible, so that the father's illness can be effectively cured as soon as possible.
"It's inconvenient for me to go to work at the hydropower plant soon. So this matter will be entrusted to you, and the stone will be handed over to you, and you will see it first, and if you think it is true, you will notify me to pay for it. ”
Yang Linxiang immediately said: "It's my uncle's business, it's my father's business, I must do it well." ”
The two came to the door of the general store together and found Qi Lao Wu, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who likes to drive motorcycles and often shows his face here.
The reason was first told to Qi Lao Wu: the family urgently needs clean and pollution-free chicken blood red stone as a medicine primer, and I don't know where it is, and now I want to advertise to the county's villages.
"I promised to do it, first take 300 yuan, print 1,000 sheets, and post it in half a month to the place where the crowd in the village is concentrated, and then give 700 yuan after I finish it."
Qi Lao Wu promised that there were more than a dozen partners who played together, and each person received a hundred, and it was guaranteed to be completed in a week.
After arranging this matter, Yang Linxiang offered to drive him to the hydropower plant to report for duty.
He said, "No, you go and do your business, I'll just take the farm bus." ”
Wen Qiyi, a staff member of the administrative office of the hydropower plant, is tall and slender, with dark skin, and his eyes are small but very keen, because he was busy going into the city to meet with his godparents' family, he said a few words to Xing Yi, and then issued a ticket and asked him to go to the reception room to live first, as for the specific job assignment, he was asked to wait for a day or two.
Xing Yi said no problem and went downstairs with the accommodation ticket.
