Return to Splendid

The water flow was fierce and the force of the impact was great. If it hadn't been for the vine, the person would have been swept away long ago.

Xing Yi grasped the vines with both hands and used the current to send him to the shore, where he could climb up the river ditch.

The plan was right, but the vines got stuck in a crack in the rocks. He was stuck under a protruding rock, half of his body in the water. Climbing up was harder than reaching the sky, but a low person could climb up. The river bank was still more than ten meters away from him. If he wanted to get closer, he would have to give up the vines, because there was only less than a foot of vine head left in his hand.He knew what it meant to let go now. Without the traction of the vines, he would have been swept away by the rapids.

Continue to stay here, wait for the water to weaken and the current to become gentler, and then swim over it. It is theoretically feasible, but it will take time to test. Who knows how long the reservoir will be open for? You can persist for an hour or two, but if Is it 24 hours a day?

Not daring to think any further, his survival instinct prompted him to raise his head and stretch his neck: "Help! Help!" He shouted twice.

Although he tried his best, the sound was still covered by the rushing sound of the river. It sounded like mosquitoes flying by his ears, so although he opened his mouth, he did not scream out the third time.

Are we really in dire straits?

He began to think wildly. This life had just begun. All the dreams and plans had not yet been implemented. Could this be the end?

A wave suddenly hit his face, and the sand rushed to his neck. On his face, he freed up a hand to wipe the sand from his face. To prevent the sand from getting into his eyes, he closed his eyes.

I opened my eyes again, blinked my eyelids, and looked into the distance. I couldn't help but tremble all over. I jumped a foot out of the water and hit my head on a rock. Fortunately, the rock was smooth and there was not much damage, but even if there was blood, Also worth it.

It turned out that he saw two people waving their arms toward him on the other side of the ditch thirty meters away, shouting and shouting.

He was so excited that he stretched one hand as far as he could, holding his five fingers in the air and spreading them, grasping them, and spreading them again.

The sound was still unclear, but Xing Yi could see their series of actions more clearly.

They found two trees and tied them with vines. They ran to a smaller place at the mouth of the river downstream, stretched the trees into the river, grabbed one end of the trees, stretched out the other end, and put them on the rocks in the ditch to form a railing. .

Xing Yi let go, drifted along the current, took advantage of the situation and grabbed the tree, and was rescued.

After landing, Xing Yi thanked him repeatedly.

The two found dry wood, set up a bonfire, and let him bake the wet clothes. They also brought soju and corn cakes with them.

After taking two sips of wine and eating half a tortilla, I regained a lot of energy.

Both of them were carrying pickaxes, ropes, and sacks. There were bulging bags in the sacks. Xing Yi knew it was a stone at a glance. His heart moved and he took the initiative to ask: "Do you live near here?"

One of them replied: "No, we live more than 30 kilometers away from here."

"Then you come to visit relatives?"

"No, we are here to find rocks."

"Stones can be found everywhere. Why do you have to come here to look for them? What kind of rocks are they?"

"Colored stones."

"What are you using the colored stones for?"

"I don't know. If someone wants anything but money, we will come out and look for it."

"Someone pays you to find rocks? How strange. What kind of people are they?"

"I don't know. We sent the stone to a restaurant on the farm. The restaurant owner took the stone and waited until the person came to see it and made sure it was what he needed before he gave us the money."

"Interesting, how many stones did you find and send to them?"

"I found a lot of money, but still no money."

"Will you default on your debt when the time comes?"

"No, the hotel owner has guaranteed it. If it is a stone that the person really likes, he will definitely pay a big price for it."

"Oh, that's it. So what kind of person is this person who needs the stone?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"I haven't seen him, so who gave you money?"

"When we found the stone, we took it to a small restaurant in the countryside and gave it to the restaurant owner, who gave it to us."

"You give stones to the boss, and the boss will give you money immediately?"

"If you send the stone, you won't get the money right away. You have to wait two or three days to notify us before you go get it."

"Oh, so it is."

It’s almost time for the clothes to dry.

Xing Yi said: "I'm so sorry, because you saved me, you wasted up time looking for stones. Tell me your names and addresses, and I can come and say thank you at some time."

The two reported their names, one was Luo Huan and the other was Peng Yingneng, both from Yangliu Village, Shaxi Township.

Xing Yi also informed his name, address and workplace.

I returned to the county seat very late.

At noon the next day, he called Yang Linxiang. After meeting him, he told him that his father had a strange disease. An old Chinese doctor prescribed a prescription for it, including seventeen or eighteen medicinal herbs. The most difficult to find was a medicine with Chicken-blood colored stones are used as medicine introduction.

The old Chinese medicine doctor explained that this kind of stone is very rare and difficult to find. It can only be found in rivers and beaches.

A quick and good way is to publish advertisements to expand the scope of knowledge. This way, it is possible to find the stone as soon as possible, so that my father's illness can be effectively treated as soon as possible.

"It's inconvenient because I have to go to work at the hydropower plant soon. So I'll entrust you with this matter. I'll hand it over to you when the stone is delivered."

Yang Linxiang immediately said: "It's my uncle's business, and it should be my father's business. It must be handled well."

The two of them came to the entrance of the general store together and found Qi Laowu, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old who liked to drive motorcycles and often showed up here.

He told Qi Laowu the reason first: his family is in urgent need of clean and pollution-free chicken blood red stones to use as medicinal primers, and he doesn’t know where to find them. Now he wants to advertise to all the villages in the county. If anyone discovers the excavators, the stones will be sent to Chengguan. There will definitely be high returns at XXX, No. XXX, Wenming Street, Town.

"I agreed to do it. I will get 300 yuan first, print a thousand copies, and post them in the village where people gather in half a month. After the process is completed, I will give you 500 yuan.

Qi Laowu agreed wholeheartedly. There are about ten friends playing together, and each person will receive a hundred cards. It is guaranteed to be completed within a week.

After arranging the matter, Yang Linxiang offered to drive him to the hydropower plant to report.

He said, "No, you go and do your thing. I'll just take the farm bus there."

Wen Qiyi, a worker in the administrative office of the hydropower plant, is tall and slender, with dark skin and small but sharp eyes. After a few words, he opened a ticket and asked Xing Yi to stay in the reception room first. As for the specific job assigned to him, he was asked to wait for a day or two.

Xing Yi said no problem and went downstairs with the accommodation ticket.
