Chapter 23 Risking Death to Save the Girl
This is really an instinctive reaction, an instinctive reaction that is touched by a strange man somewhere in his body.
As a result, her body slid down again, and her legs were already hanging in the air of the cliff.
At that moment, Xu Erlong only felt his mind empty.
In the flash of lightning, he subconsciously stretched out his legs and clamped the girl tightly, for fear that she would fall off the cliff.
The people on the river bank were so scared that they screamed again and again. They were timid and weak, and they squatted there and couldn't stand up.
Xu Erlong's legs tightly clamped the girl, regardless of where she clamped her, and his mind was blank.
You can't die.
I was reborn and had not earned money yet, and my mother and sister still had to take care of themselves.
There was only this thought in Xu Erlong's mind.
The moment he calmed down, he shouted to the crowd on the river bank: "Tighten the rope for me."
He was really afraid that the rope could not bear such weight, and in the end, he fell off the cliff with the girl.
Only then did the people on the river bank react and help tighten the end of the rope.
"Everyone pull us back." Xu Erlong shouted at the top.
Now, he cannot move, his hands cannot relax, and his feet cannot let go.
After relaxing and relaxing, I could only watch the girl fall off the cliff.
The moment he lowered his head, Xu Erlong realized that the girl had closed her eyes tightly.
I don’t know if I was scared or dared not open my eyes to see the scene in front of me again.
It's good to be dizzy, so as to avoid being moved.
Just like in the water, saving those drowning people often have to cut out the drowning people before they can save them ashore. Otherwise, the other party will yell and struggle hard, which will cause the person who saved them to die.
There was an older man with some experience and helped him out his advice: "Everyone follows my command, I will call you one, two, three, and we will work hard together to pull them back."
"From one, two, three."
"From one, two, three."
Amid a rhythmic slogan, the men on the dam worked together to win over the rope bit by bit.
Near the entrance of the dam and away from the dangerous area, several more people came to help, pulled Xu Erlong up, and helped pull the girl up.
As he pulled along the way, Xu Erlong's arms, thighs, and shoulders were covered with scratches and blood.
"Young man, you are not bad. You dare to save people so bravely." Some middle-aged men praised him.
The situation just now was so dangerous, if you don’t pay attention, you will even have your own life.
If it were anyone present, no one would dare to take such a risk to save others.
This is really helping save people with my own life.
Those women looked at Xu Erlong with admiration.
This is still an era of worshipping heroes.
What's more, this young man who saved people was still a handsome young man, with handsome eyebrows and tall and strong figure.
The girl who was rescued woke up slowly.
There were several people with her, including men and women. Everyone surrounded her, and even a woman hugged her and cried bitterly.
It seems like someone is dead.
"Tongtong, you finally woke up. I was scared to death just now. I thought you were about to fall."
"We call you to come and swim. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your parents?"
The rescued girl was called Li Yingtong, and today she was called by this group of friends to swim.
She has a bad water quality and comes with a swimming ring.
No one told her about the danger of the river beach. After accidentally throwing the swimming ring outside, he took it a chance to pick it up by himself, which caused such serious consequences.
"Tongtong, let's go back and stop swimming, it's so scary." said another girl.
Li Yingtong had long been so scared that she nodded in panic.
The group helped her to the changing place in the bamboo forest, changed her clothes and left.
"Oh, why did these people leave like this?" The middle-aged man who had just helped to command the rescue was so angry.
This is a fucking thing, I risked my life to save someone, and I didn’t even say thank you.
"Forget it." Xu Erlong didn't care either.
He just saved people because of an instinctive inner drive, and he did not think about anyone saying thank you.
He dragged his scarred body back to his cold water stall and sat down to continue selling cold water.
Perhaps, the feat just now made everyone feel respectful.
Everyone has no other way to thank him, so they can only come forward and thank him and support him by buying water.
Some people even put aside a dime and refused to let Xu Erlong find compensation.
Soon, all two buckets of water were sold out.
Xu Erlong put away the bucket, tied the rope back, and carried the bucket away.
When he went to a nearby health center, Xu Erlong wanted to prescribe some anti-inflammatory potion, and the doctor threw him a bottle of red potion and a bottle of blue potion.
This is a regular topical anti-inflammatory drug these days.
I often see children all over the streets, bumping and touching, all of them are applied with this kind of potion, red and blue on their bodies, and they look creepy.
At this moment, Xu Erlong didn't care about so much and applied red potion.
Now in summer, wounds are prone to infection, so he needs to take precautions.
With scars all over his body, he walked back to Qi'an Commune.
He came back with scars and saw it all over the village.
Especially those who came to their house to feed eels, looked at his scars and shook his head.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoling threw down the book of the account in her hand and rushed over.
"It's okay, a little scratch." Xu Erlong replied.
"This is so good, why did it get scratched?" Zhang Jinfang felt heartbroken and wanted to fetch water to scrub Xu Erlong, but when he saw him applying red medicine, he couldn't do it.
"I accidentally scratched it." Xu Erlong grinned.
As for the real reason, he can't say it.
Otherwise, wouldn’t Zhang Jinfang be scared to hear him saving people on the edge of the cliff and almost even get his life?
"Second brother, then you go and lie down." Xiaoling said.
Xu Erlong was funny. He had a lot of scratches. It looked scary when applying red medicine, but it was not very serious. He didn't need to lie down.
The injury of Xu Erlong soon spread throughout the village.
Even the people from the Xu family knew about it.
"I deserve it." Old Mrs. Xu said: "I guess this is just going to speculate and get beaten up."
Xu Damin's heart trembled when he heard this.
When he heard that Xu Erlong collected eels, he had the idea of following it and making some money to go to college.
But now, when he heard that Xu Erlong was beaten, he suddenly realized that the risk of speculation was quite high.
I have a bright future, so I can’t take this risk and pick up sesame seeds if I lose the watermelon.
As for how poor my family is now, I don’t care. Anyway, I have to guarantee the various expenses of going to school.
****
The next day, Xu Erlong picked up fifty kilograms of eels and sent them to the food group of the chemical factory.
Wang Bolin stood aside and winked at him.
Xu Erlong understood that after handing over the goods and putting them on the table, he handed a cigarette to the people in the food group, and followed Wang Bolin to a corner while the person was not paying attention.
