Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 71 Rescue

"Tu tu tu tu~"

"Dududu~"

Early in the morning, Xiang Yunduan was awakened by a noisy mechanical sound.

I slept in the school arranged by the commune last night, mainly because there were still some piglets that were not finished.

The pigs are actually very fast, and there are not many piglets in the advancing group. Generally speaking, they can be finished in one afternoon.

But Xiang Yunduan had to explain to Wang Shitou while cutting the pigs, so he didn't do it very quickly.

Since the factory asked the masters to take their apprentices with them when they went to the countryside, they must be required to teach their apprentices well.

At the end of every year, apprentices will be given a business assessment. If some apprentices fail, the master will definitely be criticized and educated.

Of course, because of his luck, Xiang Yunduan had to teach his apprentices well.

Anyway, I only have half a month to go to the countryside this time, which is quite enough, so there is no need to rush it.

"Yo, tractor!"

After getting up, Xiang Yunduan washed up before going to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

Looking for the noisy sound that woke him up, Xiang Yunduan discovered that there was a threshing floor not far from the school.

Although it was only around eight o'clock in the morning, the threshing floor was already in full swing.

The villagers untied the harvested wheat stacks and spread them layer by layer on the threshing floor. At this time, they need to pull up the stone roller and keep rolling back and forth on the wheat layer to help The grains of wheat peel off from the ears.

This stone roller is generally cylindrical, with wooden frames on both sides. A rope is tied in front of the wooden frame, and then it is pulled by manpower. It usually takes two adult men to pull it back and forth, and after a period of time, it has to be replaced. Man, this job is still very strenuous.

When the stone mill has almost completely crushed the wheat layer, you need to use a wooden or iron fork to turn the wheat straw over, turn the side that has not been crushed upward, and then continue rolling.

To separate the wheat kernels from the ears, you need to crush them back and forth many times.

However, Xiang Yunduan did not expect that the advancing brigade actually had a tractor.

If a tractor is used to pull the stone and grind it, it will naturally save much effort. The most important thing is that the efficiency is much higher than that of people pulling the stone and grinding it.

"Your brigade is already powerful enough if you have tractors, but you actually have two more. How did you get them?"

Xiang Yunduan stood next to the threshing floor, chatting with a villager who was responsible for turning over wheat straw.

Domestic production of tractors has just begun. The famous Dongfanghong 54 tractor was only successfully trial-produced this year, but it is a crawler type, which can be used for plowing, bulldozing, etc., and can be used in threshing fields. It's not enough to use it on the road. The wheeled tractor in front of you must be easy to use.

"It is said that they came from a landlord's family before liberation. Someone in this landlord's family was an official in the Kuomintang Party and used the public service for private purposes. He brought two tractors back for their family use. I heard they were imported from Germany!" said the villager.

"I see!"

Xiang Yunduan nodded. He suddenly remembered an anecdote. It was said that before liberation, the top leader of the Kuomintang in Qilu stockpiled a batch of imported tractors, saying that he was going to disarm and return to the fields to farm. However, he was captured in a battle later. , directly recommended Gong Delin to study.

He remembered that around next year, this person would be among the first batch of pardoned persons to come out of the Merit Forest.

"Hey, this tractor driver is a female comrade!"

There were two tractors on the threshing floor. Xiang Yunduan stood aside and watched them for a long time before he realized that the driver of one of the tractors was actually a lesbian. Seeing this elder sister driving the tractor skillfully in circles on the wheat layer, It's really a beautiful scenery.

After admiring the enthusiasm for production on the threshing floor for a while, Xiang Yunduan also returned to school and started today's work of raising pigs.

It was around twelve o'clock at noon that all the piglets in the advancing brigade were eliminated by him.

"Master Xiang, you have work, so I won't keep you any longer. These peaches and apricots can be eaten on the road. They just came down and they taste pretty good!"

After eating at noon, Xiang Yunduan did not stay any longer and was about to rush to the next brigade twelve miles away. Officer Liu was very enthusiastic and forced him to pack several kilograms of peaches and apricots in cloth bags.

Xiang Yunduan couldn't refuse, so he could only "reluctantly" let Wang Shitou take him.

Starting from the Advance Brigade, we headed to the Yanghutan Brigade. Although it was only twelve miles away, which didn't sound very far, this section of the road was not easy to walk. There was a mountainous road in the middle, which was rugged.

By the time Xiang Yunduan and Wang Shitou came over that section of the mountain road, it was already past two o'clock.

"Oh, we're finally here. It shouldn't be far ahead. Then Director Liu said that after here, we'll be there in about two or three miles!" Wang Shitou said breathlessly.

"Let me ride the horse and rest for a while!"

Xiang Yunduan said, taking the bicycle from Wang Shitou, and then he took Wang Shitou to the Yanghutan Brigade.

Sure enough, after walking for a short time, after climbing a small slope, we could already see the village not far away.

"Wow wow wow~"

"Gouwa, Heizi, Danniu, come back quickly!"

"Swim back!"

……

Just when Xiang Yunduan was about to rush to the Yanghutan brigade, the sound of children suddenly heard making noise not far from the road.

He looked for the sound, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.

Not far from the roadside, there is a dark green lake. At first glance, it is at least a hundred meters wide. This is still close to the shore. Going further away, I don't know how wide it is.

At this moment, by the lake, there were two children of eleven or twelve years old, shouting loudly towards the lake. It was obvious from the sound that they were very anxious.

On the lake, three children could be vaguely seen. Only their heads were barely floating on the water, and everything from their necks down was submerged in the lake.

"Someone fell into the water!"

Xiang Yunduan quickly judged it.

The three children in the lake should be able to swim, but at this moment they are being rushed back and forth by the lake water, and they can only struggle. It seems that it won't be long before they can no longer hold on and will be completely overwhelmed by the lake water. Devoured.

"Quick! Save people!"

Xiang Yunduan stopped the bicycle, threw it directly on the side of the road, and ran towards the shore without even mentioning how to prop it up.

"Master, I can't swim!" Wang Shitou said loudly as he followed. He was a landlubber. He had never been in the water since he was a child. At most, it was in winter. When Shichahai froze, he went to skate on it a few times. That’s all.

People who don't know how to swim will have an instinctive fear when facing water.

"Can't swim? Then go find someone in the village quickly. My swimming skills are average. I'm not sure whether I can save the person!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Ah? Master, why don't you go to the village with me to find someone, in case you..." Wang Shitou hesitated.

"There is no such thing as a precaution. Those three children can no longer hold on. If we delay for a few more seconds, they might not be able to be saved!"

Xiang Yunduan waved his hand and rejected Wang Shitou's suggestion: "Hurry up and go quickly!"

Before Xiang Yunduan traveled through time, every summer, we could always see news about some primary and middle school students swimming in the wild and then drowning.

The situation in front of me is probably caused by wild swimming.

"Child, how many are there in the water?"

When he came to the lake, Xiang Yunduan quickly took off his clothes while asking about the situation, leaving only a pair of big pants. "Three...three!"

One of the children saw an adult approaching. Although he didn't recognize him, he still begged Xiang Yunduan to save him as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Wait on the shore, don't go into the water!"

Xiang Yunduan was relieved when he heard that only three people had fallen into the water. He warned the two children on the shore, and then jumped into the lake with a "pop".

As soon as he entered the water, Xiang Yunduan immediately used his hands and feet to swim in the direction of the three children.

Xiang Yunduan could swim, but his skill was not high. After swimming for a long time, he regretted it because he found that swimming in the wild and swimming in a swimming pool were completely different experiences.

The key is that the lake is not stagnant yet. The current is always moving. Even though it looks calm on the surface, there are a lot of whirlpools in the water. He swam for a long time and didn't get close to the three children at all.

Before entering the water, he was still a little confident. He had mastered several swimming styles, such as freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, etc. But now he realized that it was useless. He changed it several times in a row. This posture, but just can't get close to the three children.

He couldn't grasp the direction at all. He seemed to be swimming in the direction of the three children, but his body was washed away by the current, and he soon lost track of where he was swimming.

At this moment, he even found it difficult to turn back.

Just when he didn't know what to do, he finally activated his swimming skill.

This couldn't have come at a better time.

Without thinking too much, Xiang Yunduan directly used red luck to strengthen his swimming skills.

After five consecutive bursts of red luck, his swimming skills were strengthened to the bronze level.

At this time, Xiang Yunduan felt that his body was back under his control.

It has to be said that the bronze level skill is still very powerful. With the blessing of the skill effect, he was finally able to grasp the direction and swim towards the three children.

It took about another three minutes before Xiang Yunduan swam next to the first child.

He grabbed the child. Fortunately, the guy was still conscious, so it didn't cause him too much trouble.

What really made things difficult for him was that the other two children had already passed out. If he had arrived a little later, he would probably have sunk to the bottom.

"Get on my back!"

Xiang Yunduan said to the still conscious child.

Then he stretched out his two arms, lifted the other two children, and floated them on the water.

Although his swimming skills are not good, fortunately, his body has been strengthened many times and his physical strength is very strong. He does not feel tired now.

If it were anyone else, even if their swimming skills were better than his, they would probably be helpless in this situation.

Because his two arms could no longer move, he could only adopt the breaststroke posture, relying only on the movements of his two legs to maintain his forward posture.

But in this position, the swimming speed is much slower. Even though the distance from the shore seems to be only about 30 meters, it can't be reached in half a day.

However, at this moment, a group of people came running over from the shore. It turned out that the reinforcements invited by Wang Shitou had arrived.

"Master, hold on!"

Wang Shitou stood on the shore and shouted loudly.

Xiang Yunduan looked very embarrassed. People standing on the shore looked at him as if he was about to be submerged by the lake at any time.

Soon, as Wang Shitou finished speaking, two villagers immediately entered the water.

However, these two villagers were different from Xiang Yunduan's blind show of strength. The villagers had ropes tied to their bodies, and the other end of the rope was held in the hands of people on the shore.

In this way, the risk is greatly reduced. If there is danger, the shore can drag people back at any time.

After the two villagers entered the water, they immediately swam towards Xiang Yunduan. About a few minutes later, Xiang Yunduan met the two villagers.

"Comrade, can you still hold on?"

Two villagers, one each, took over the unconscious child that Xiang Yunduan was holding in his hands, then looked at him and asked.

"No problem, you go up first, the children are important, I still have the strength!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Okay, comrade, just hold on a little longer and we'll be right back!"

The two villagers looked at the unconscious child in their hands and knew that they could not drag it any longer, otherwise the child might not be saved. Seeing that Xiang Yunduan still had strength, they waved to the shore and pulled the two of them away. He quickly pulled it back.

Xiang Yunduan freed his hands, but he didn't need help from others anymore. He followed the two people and rowed towards the shore.

Only then did he have time to scan the situation on the shore. In addition to the villagers, there were three other people who came, and they didn't look like they were from the countryside.

The three of them were a man and two women. The man was about forty years old and was wearing a black tunic suit. There was a small notebook in the chest pocket and a pen inserted.

There are two other lesbians, one older and one younger. The older one is also in her forties and the younger one looks to be less than twenty years old.

What surprised Xiang Yunduan was that the very young lesbian had a camera hanging on her chest and was taking pictures of him.

"Gou baby, Gou baby, wake up!"

"Heizi, my Heizi, how can I live without your mother? Wake up quickly!"

……

The two children who came ashore first were unconscious. The parents of the children on one side were nervous, holding the children with both hands and shaking them constantly.

"Stop shaking. The child is choking on water and holding his breath. The more he shakes, the more dangerous he becomes. Move aside and I'll take a look!"

At this moment, the forty-year-old lesbian who was obviously dressed differently stood up.

This lesbian didn’t know what she was doing, but she actually knew how to do chest compressions and artificial respiration.

He first cleaned the mouths and noses of the two children to prevent them from being clogged with weeds and sludge, and then began the rescue work.

Just when everyone's eyes were attracted to the lesbian, Xiang Yunduan also arrived at the shore.

"Daniu, my son, how are you?"

Xiang Yunduan first sent the child on his back to the shore, and then prepared to go ashore himself, but what no one expected was that at this moment, something happened underwater.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and a huge splash exploded from the water.

Xiang Yunduan had just floated up and was about to go ashore when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and then he flew up from the water.

It really flew!

His entire body was knocked over a meter high from the water.

Under the water, a huge black shadow flashed away.
