Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 324
Huilongdu, Huilongdu, ten fell into the water, nine were difficult to cross.

At the bottom of the river here, there is a vortex formed by the water flow. If it is summer, the water flow is turbulent, and the power of the vortex is enough to bury a person in the bottom of the river.

Fortunately, it is autumn, which is considered a dry season, and the water flow is relatively stable.

But the autumn water is icy cold, the water surface temperature is about ten degrees, and the river bottom water temperature does not exceed three degrees.

For salvage crews, this temperature is nothing, even without any protective equipment.

Chen Yang, Chen Shengli and Cai Guangfa sat on the bank of the river and took off their clothes.

Di Guoliang directed everyone to make preparations.

It is not difficult to enter the water, and the person entering the water is not in danger. The real danger lies on the shore and the auxiliary personnel on the shore.

First of all, a group of people must be organized. Once the stone lion or stone pier is tied up with a rope, they must work together to pull it up.

Secondly, a group of people must be organized and divided into three groups to support Chen Yang, Chen Shengli and Cai Guangfa respectively.

There are four people in each group, one pinches the watch for timing and three pulls the rope.As long as the specified time is exceeded, the underwater person must be pulled up.

There is also a group of people responsible for logistics, including food and drink, as well as doctors, and other necessary relief supplies.

The rescue tools are mainly ropes.

There are two kinds of ropes, one is hemp rope, which is about three fingers thick, and is used to bind stone lions and stone piers.

There is also a nylon rope, about one finger thick, which is tied to the body of the salvager.

On the bank of the river, more than 1000 villagers gathered to watch.

In order to maintain order, a militia company was transferred from the village.

These days, it is common to go into the water to catch the dead, but it is once in 50 years to go into the water to catch the stone lion.

Guo Fuqiang, Minister of Armed Forces of the township, brought two boxes of twelve bottles of special wine with two militiamen.

Chen Yang and the three of them had already tied nylon ropes around their bodies and checked each other.

Three waterproof headlamps borrowed from the County Armed Forces Department arrived in time and were put on the heads of the three men.

It was so crude back then, and it was the only professional tool.

There are also earthen tools.

In order to save time and sink quickly, I found a lot of empty bottles, filled them with river mud, and then plugged the bottles tightly.

When a salvageman enters the water, he will hold a bottle in one hand, and throw the bottle away when it sinks to the bottom.

Chen Yang, Chen Shengli, and Cai Guangfa, each with a bottle of four special wines, poured them into their mouths.

At this time, a motor boat came over.

On the motor boat, in addition to the policemen with live ammunition, there were also five ganged criminals. The leader was Tong Zongliang, and the other four were his nephews.

Five criminals confirmed the place where the stone lion was thrown.

Chen Shengli walked into the water, plunged into the icy river with a sudden plunge.

About ten seconds later, Cai Guangfa also plunged into the water.

About ten seconds later, Chen Yang, who was holding a bottle in his hand and a hemp rope in his mouth, also disappeared on the river with a plop.

Chen Yang sank quickly, five or six seconds faster than Li Guangfa. When he sank to the bottom of the river, Chen Shengli gestured to him.

I found it, but it was just a stone pier.

Cai Guangfa took the hemp rope from Chen Yang's mouth and began to tie the rope to the stone pier.

Li Shengli, who entered the water first, has been in the water for 30 seconds.

The rescuers above, no matter what state Chen Shengli was in, first pulled them up with all their strength.

When it was Cai Guangfa's turn to be pulled up, Chen Yang was already prepared, leaned over, went forward, and quickly completed the binding of Shidunzi.

Chen Yang stayed underwater for 50 seconds.Because this is the agreed time, the people above must pull him.

Chen Yang came out of the water, gasping for breath while stretching out his thumb.

The twenty-odd people above, under the command of a unified chant, grasped the hemp rope and pulled it upwards forcefully.

Chen Yang was pulled back to the shore.

Feeling that his heart was still cold, Chen Yang took another bottle of Si Te wine and drank it regardless of San Qi 21.

Chen Shengli and Cai Guangfa were also drinking, but they were not as eager as Chen Yang.

Chen Shengli asked: "Yang, when you were underwater, did you find another stone pier two meters behind you?"

Chen Yang nodded, "I remember."

Cai Guangfa said: "Leave that one alone. Next time, let's find the stone lion first."

Chen Yang said: "I'll tie the stone pier, and you two will go find the stone lion."

Chen Shengli said: "Yang, take a break first. I think you're rusty, so don't hit too hard."

"I'm fine. Don't worry, I know what to do."

At this time, the crowd cheered.

Shi Dunzi was pulled up.

Shidunzi was pulled directly to the shore.

The rope was untied, and the end of the rope returned to Chen Yang.

Chen Shengli and Cai Guangfa have entered the water again.

This time they were looking for stone lions, and the two went into the water at the same time.

Chen Yang went it alone and drank up the second bottle of Site wine first.

Under Chen Yang's signal, Di Guoliang, who was standing next to him, helped him turn on the lamp on his head.

Chen Yang held the hemp rope in his mouth again, held a bottle full of mud in each hand, and walked from the shallow water area to the deep water area.

Finding things underwater requires skill, among which determining and remembering the location is a very important part.

Chen Yang remembered the position of the second stone pier, he plunged down and hit the stone pier directly.

In less than 40 seconds, Chen Yang completed the binding.

But Chen Yang was afraid that the binding was not tight enough, so he directly left himself on the stone pier, holding the stone pier tightly with both hands.

This is all right, Chen Yang and Shi Dunzi were pulled up together.

Chen Shengli and Cai Guangfa had already come up, shivering from the cold, their teeth chattering.

Chen Yang was also cold, the cold piercing his lungs.

Di Guoliang said loudly: "Bring the wine, bring the wine quickly."

At this time, someone on the shore shouted, "Don't drink, don't drink any more."

It's Chen Yang's grandfather.

Grandpa hurried down from the river bank with a pair of buckets.

Both buckets were covered with lids.

Grandpa said: "Xiao Di, if you let them drink white wine again, you must get the three of them drunk."

Di Guoliang hurriedly asked, "Old man, what's in your two buckets?"

"Chili, ginger, egg and brown sugar water is piping hot. It's just right to drink. It's definitely better than white wine."

Chen Shengli said with a smile: "Old man, thank you, thank you for always contributing your unique secret recipe."

"Hmph, I'm for my grandson."

Grandpa took a bucket, put it in front of Chen Yang and the others, and took off the lid of the bucket.

Steaming.

Grandpa took out three long wooden spoons from the bucket, "You three, hurry up and drink."

Chen Yang, Chen Shengli and Cai Guangfa drank the soup desperately, tears, sweat and snot running down their noses.

Grandpa was still urging, "Drink more and drink more, the more you drink, the better you will fight the cold."

Three people can also drink it. A bucket of chili and ginger water weighs more than fifteen catties, and the three people drank it all.

My tongue is numb and my throat is burning.

Chen Shengli said: "Guangfa, I will go down first, and you will do it for me. Yang, you go down with me, I will tie the head, and you will tie the back."

Chen Yang nodded, his mouth was so numb that he couldn't speak.
