Zhou Guoan used his barely trimmed nails to clasp the ice around him, delaying the time for himself to sink to the bottom and be washed away by the current, and his legs tore open his throat while he began to scream.

"Help. Help. ”

Zhou Guoan's desperate screams were finally heard by the children playing nearby, but it was thanks to his laziness that he didn't want to go far so that the children could hear his cries for help.

The first person to hear the sound was Tie Dan, he greeted everyone and began to look for the source of the sound, and soon found Zhou Guoan struggling in the ice cave, Tie Dan climbed down and took a look and began to shout.

"I know this person, I saw him when I went to play with Brother Han, he is an educated youth in our village, it seems to be called something."

At this time, a slightly older child named Erzhuzi interrupted Tiedan's words and began to ask everyone to save people.

"It doesn't matter what he calls, it's important to save people now, Erya, you hurry back to the village and call people, and the others untie the rope on the plow and let him catch it."

The second girl ran to the village, and the other children also began to untie the rope from the climbing plow, and then Tie Dan said in a sullen voice.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's good to give him the rope, but we can't pull it on this slippery ice, don't drag us down when the time comes."

"Then see if the rope is long enough, if it is long enough, tie it to the tree by the river, go to the two of you to find if there is a stick longer than the ice cave nearby, if not, let's tie the rope to the stick first."

When Zhou Guoan heard the voice above, he immediately felt that he was saved, and his hand, which had been unable to hold on, became strong again.

However, after a long time of pulling the rope of the climbing plow, the knot has been very difficult to untie, in order to save people, some children even began to bite the knot of the rope with their teeth, and many children were bleeding from their mouths after the rope was untied.

However, at this time, they were all busy reconnecting the ropes together to save people, and they did not pay attention to their own situation at all.

At this time, the adults were all staying in the house, and there was no one on the street.

So as soon as Erya entered the village, he began to shout, and the adults soon came out of the house, and after learning the situation, some ran directly to the river, and some went to the captain and the village chief with flexible brains, and asked them to use a loudspeaker to inform everyone, after all, it is not easy to fish for people under the ice cave, and it is really hard to say that there are fewer people to go.

Some people ran to Han Li's side, thinking that if they fished people up, the chances of the hygienist surviving would be greater.

Han Li was flipping the medicinal herbs in the medicine pot with his hand when a villager barged in.

"Han Zhiqing, there is a male Zhiqing who has fallen into the ice cave, you should hurry up and take a look."

As soon as Han Li heard the news, he took the medicine pot off the stove and followed the villager out, and only then did he remember to ask when he got out of the street.

"Which educated youth fell into the ice cave?"

"I don't know, it was Erya and their children who heard the shouting when they were playing on the ice, and they ran back to report before they had time to see who was there."

When Han Li was about to walk to the entrance of the village, Captain Liang's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Hey, hey, there is a young man in our village who has fallen into a hole, and the old and young masters who are idle at home hurry up to the river to help the handle."

When Han Li and the others ran to the river, there were already many people on the ice.

On top of the ice cave is a tree trunk that has been dragged from nowhere, and a rope is tied to the trunk and hangs into the ice cave.

Zhou Guoqing wrapped his rope around himself, and also wrapped one of his hands around a few times, but the person is not moving now, and it is not whether he is dead or alive now.

Listening to the gossip of the children around him, Han Li realized that Zhou Guoan had not seen anyone in the water several times, and then he himself swam back to the ice cave, but when the rope was put inside, he didn't move after wrapping his arm around the rope.

He didn't know if it was tied up in this situation, and everyone didn't dare to pull it up at all, for fear that if he pulled the rope away, the person would be gone.

As for why the adults didn't go down to save people, maybe the older people thought more, you must know that the section of the ice cave to the water surface is more than one meter deep, this height may not be anything in normal times, but in this case it is enough to kill a person.

So if there is no extra rope tied to himself, no one dares to jump into the ice hole to save people, not to mention that the river below is still flowing, and a careless person can wash people away, and once a person leaves this hole, it is basically a dead end.

And now just a few days after forty-nine, it is the coldest period here, the current temperature is probably minus twenty or thirty degrees, the cold wind is fierce, the cold is biting, so that people wearing cotton jackets, cotton pants, and cotton hats are shivering from the cold, this situation jumping into the river to save people is not a joke.

The most important thing is that although the river did not overflow Zhou Guoan's mouth and nose, he didn't know if he was drowned, even if he didn't die, it didn't matter if he saved people in the current situation sooner or later.

Han Li listened to the villagers' arguments as he began to slowly move his body, he wanted to keep his body in the best condition, he wouldn't take risks without the rope, but when the rope came, he planned to go down to save people.

Soon Han Li saw Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang running over with a group of people, several of whom were holding ropes.

Han Li took off the hat on his head and the scarf around his neck, and began to untie his coat, he wanted his body to gradually adjust to the temperature outside.

Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang looked at Zhou Guoan's situation in the ice cave and knew that it was right that the villagers did not go down to save people, and just as they were about to choose a candidate to go into the water, they saw that Han Li had already untied the coat and the small padded jacket inside.

"Han Li, what are you doing unbuttoning your clothes? Do you still want to go into the water to save people? ”

"You're messing around."

Han Li could hear the maintenance in their reproach, and still smiled and said his reasons.

"Village chief, captain, I am young and strong, and my water quality is not bad, and now it is most appropriate for me to go into the water in this situation, saying that there is a rope, and there are so many people I will be fine."

The two of them looked at Han Li's determined eyes, in front of so many villagers, they couldn't forcibly prevent Han Li from going into the water and replace them with people from their own village, so their prestige for many years would be completely over, so they could only turn around and ask the villagers to check the rope properly, and also ask someone to collect firewood and light the fire.

"You must be careful later, if it doesn't feel like it's us, I'll pull you out right away."

"Well, I'll definitely pay attention."

After Han Li finished speaking, he sped up the speed at which he moved his body and threw the coat to the others first.

Because he had already seen a lot of women and educated youths in the village coming this way, including the Yun family sisters and He Mi.

If Han Li didn't go into the water before they arrived, I'm afraid there would be a lot of friction in a while.

Next, Han Li took off his jacket, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, and every time he took off one piece, he would quickly move his body with a few punches.

In the end, when there was only one big pants left on his body, Village Chief Zhao personally stepped forward to tie the rope around Han Li's waist, and then patted him on the shoulder and said.

"We don't know what Zhou Guoan's situation is now, but you must be careful to protect yourself."

Han Li smiled and nodded, making a cheering gesture with his right hand, sliding into the ice cave before Yun Yingying and the others squeezed in.
