After a night's rest, before the sun rose, the three people beside the fire gradually woke up.
Because of the cold river wind, everyone had their arms folded and looked like they were freezing to death.
But there is nothing we can do. If we don't keep watch by the river, if the bamboo rafts are stolen or blown into the river, our work will be in vain.
After eating some dry food, the three of them finally calmed down.
Li Shiqiang slept better at night than the old man and his third uncle, because he could still hold the warm little flowers.
Therefore, he took the lead in pushing the bamboo raft onto the river, and then jumped onto the bamboo raft with Xiao Hua.
After Li Nongchang also jumped on the bamboo raft, the sun had just risen in the sky. Seeing this scene, he finally couldn't help shouting: "Hey, the sun is coming out!"
The third uncle behind him also smiled, put one hand to his mouth, and sang along loudly: "Sing that folk song ~ put the bamboo rafts ~"
After the two shouted loudly, they both looked at Li Shiqiang.
There was no other way, so Li Shiqiang had no choice but to imitate his uncle and sang: "The scenery on both sides of the Three Gorges is so beautiful~"
"Yamei, let's show off our floral shoes on the shore~"
"Let me ask you that, do you sell the shoes?"
....
On the calm river surface, bursts of melodious folk songs came.
In the mountains and forests on both sides, the sounds of animals can be heard from time to time.
The three of them enjoyed the spring breeze and moved their pennies from time to time.
After the folk song ended, everyone looked in high spirits.
Thinking that this was a private performance and not too high-profile, after singing a folk song, the bamboo rafts fell silent again.
Li Shiqiang looked down and found Xiaohua standing firmly on the bamboo raft, so he relaxed.
Just when he raised his head and was about to continue holding the pole, he suddenly found the old man in front of him pointing forward and shouting: "Look, someone has fallen into the water!"
Li Shiqiang looked in the direction of the old man's finger. The first thing he saw was a cruise ship that was forty meters long and almost three stories high. A hundred meters away from the cruise ship, there was a figure struggling desperately on the river. .
The figure who fell into the water was two hundred meters in front of the bamboo raft.
"Let's go and save people!"
Without any hesitation or consideration, Li Nongchang directly supported the bamboo pole and leaned over with the long bamboo raft.
As the second brother Piao who makes a living on the river, there is no one who falls into the water without saving him.
Because this can be regarded as a way to accumulate negative virtue. As long as more negative virtue is accumulated, they will believe that they will not have any accidents in the future.
As the bamboo raft gradually approached, Li Shiqiang gradually saw the figure who fell into the water. She seemed to be a young woman, but her face was partially obscured by wet hair.
On the 40-meter-long cruise ship, they were also shouting at the fence: "Those who set off, hurry up and save the people!"
There were also people on the cruise ship who kept throwing rims at the woman, but because of the distance, no rims could ever float towards the woman.
Perhaps due to physical exertion, the woman's struggle became slower and slower, and her body gradually sank.
But fortunately, Li Nongchang had already come over holding a bamboo raft.
Just when he was about to jump into the water, he suddenly saw the raft under his feet. After hesitating for a moment, he still shouted to his son behind him: "Er baby, go save people!"
Listening to his old man's voice, Li Shiqiang took off his clothes without hesitation and jumped into the water.
In his previous life, Li Shiqiang also saw some news about people who fell into the water and rescued people who were trapped, and both of them drowned.
Therefore, after approaching the woman who fell into the water, he did not rush to save her. Instead, after observing for a while, he came to the woman's back.
In this way, it will not be easy for the person who falls into the water to be dragged into the water.
When he came behind the woman, Li Shiqiang grabbed the hair that was still floating on the water, and then grabbed the woman's neck in the direction.
But when he pulled the woman out of the water with all his strength, she immediately clung to him like an octopus.
From the looks of it, he should still be somewhat conscious.
Li Shiqiang put one hand on the water, patted her face with the other, and said very calmly: "Don't worry, you have been saved."
The woman looked panicked and didn't seem to hear his words clearly. She kept shouting: "Help! Help!"
Seeing this, Li Shiqiang could only pat the woman's face with his hand and said again: "Don't worry, you have been rescued. Calm down first, and then slowly let go of me. I can't swim like this."
It seemed that Li Shiqiang's calm attitude had an effect, or maybe it was because of being slapped. The woman finally calmed down slowly, but she still looked at Li Shiqiang eagerly and said, "What should I do? I can't swim. help me."
Because of the weight of one more person on his body, Li Shiqiang could no longer stay afloat on the water, and the bodies of the two people were gradually sinking.
Just when Li Shiqiang was a little anxious, he suddenly saw a yellow figure next to him.
It turned out that Xiaohua also followed him, but she swam slower.
He struggled to free his hand from the woman's arms, grabbed Xiaohua, and then said to the woman: "Let go of me first, or we will both die!"
Suddenly hearing the word "death", the woman was immediately frightened and confused.
Li Shiqiang also took the opportunity to break free from the woman's restraints and hugged her behind him: "Just hold my waist. If that doesn't work, just lie down on my back."
Seeing that the woman was still a little confused, Li Shiqiang could only hold the water with one hand, hug the woman with the other, and move slowly.
He took a look and saw that the closest thing to them was a bamboo raft, so he swam directly towards the bamboo raft.
After taking a few sips of the cold river water, the woman finally came to her senses and took the initiative to hug Li Shiqiang's waist.
Seeing this, Li Shiqiang quickly moved his hands.
But after a while, he heard the woman say to him anxiously: "I have no strength."
Li Shiqiang didn't even look back, and directly lifted the woman onto his back.
After the woman lay on her back, she could finally breathe steadily. She gasped and said, "Thank you... thank you for saving me!"
Li Shiqiang ignored her and just put a hand on Xiaohua's body.
The bodies of the two of them were still a little too heavy. Fortunately, Xiaohua was beside them.
After swimming hard for a while, they finally approached the end of the bamboo raft.
The third uncle quickly stretched out his long bamboo pen and asked Li Shiqiang to grab it.
With the help of the third uncle, the two people and the dog finally returned to the bamboo raft.
As soon as she got into the row, the woman lay down on the bamboo raft again, breathing heavily.
At this time, Li Shiqiang also picked up the top he had taken off before and threw it on the woman.
Feeling the strange clothes falling on her chest, the woman reacted instantly, sat up quickly, lowered her head, hugged the clothes, blushed and said shyly: "Thank you for saving me!"
