Taohua Reservoir is a high mountain reservoir. The water in the reservoir is collected by mountain springs. The water is extremely clear and it can be said that it is not contaminated at all.

You can see swimming fish under the water several meters deep on the shore. It is still winter. If it is summer, the surrounding vegetation will be lush and the green water will be green. If there are a few cruise ships rippling on the water, that kind of situation will only need to be moved. Just the thought of it makes people yearn for it.

The three of Cao Rui walked along the waterside. He Wei and Chen Zhigang were both locals. From different angles, they introduced the reservoir and some of the surrounding customs to Cao Rui. Cao Rui listened with interest.

Chen Zhigang said:

"Secretary, we may have to rush to the next village, otherwise we won't be able to finish today!"

Cao Rui said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just take a look around, this is a good place!"

Cao Rui was in high spirits, and the three of them walked and chatted.

"Help, someone jumped into the water, someone committed suicide..."

"Help! Help!"

Cao Rui suddenly heard someone shouting for help. He immediately looked around: "Where is the cry for help? In which direction?"

Chen Zhigang and He Wei also suddenly became nervous. They quickly dispersed and looked around. Chen Zhigang was older and more experienced. He quickly judged the direction:

"It should be over the dam!"

He Wei quickly ran to higher ground and looked towards the dam: "Yes, there is someone diving on the other side of the dam!"

The three people ran towards the dam. They parked the car and wandered around the dam. They were almost a mile away. There were all paths around the reservoir and the road was not very smooth.

When the three of them arrived near the dam, they saw several people splashing in the water. Two young men were shirtless, dragging a person in the water. The three of them were entangled together, and the splash of water was high. It looked like Very dangerous.

Cao Rui shouted:

"Hold on for a while! We'll come right away to support..."

Cao Rui took off his clothes as he spoke, and He Wei shouted:

"Secretary Cao, please don't be impulsive. The water is bottomless, and the people submerged in the water are unconscious. If you see someone, you will drag them into the water if you are not careful!"

Cao Rui couldn't listen to He Wei's words at this time. How could he just watch a few people drown in the water?

Cao Rui grew up by the Li River. The Li River is not a small reservoir like this. It is a big river and the water is fast. Cao Rui has developed good water skills.

Moreover, Cao Rui often does the work of rescuing people. When rescuing a drowning person, he must grab his hair and pull him to the shore. Be sure not to be hugged by the drowning person, otherwise he will be dead.

Cao Rui ran to the shore and took off his outer clothes. The situation was urgent. He saw that the two young men were close to exhaustion. Without help, all three of them would drown.

Once three people drown, the person will sink. Once they sink, it's over, and the three people are dead.

Cao Rui threw himself into the water and swam close to him in a few rounds. He grabbed a person's hair from a distance and kicked him to the shore. Chen Zhigang was not good at water, but his brain was quick. He didn't run to the water just now, but drove directly to the shore. Get the tow rope from the trunk.

He ran across the shore and shouted: "Secretary, hold on to the rope!"

Cao Rui turned around and grabbed the towing rope thrown by Chen Zhigang. Chen Zhigang and He Wei worked together to drag several people to the shore.

When he arrived at the shore, Cao Rui collapsed from exhaustion. The rescue time was short, but he ran all the way and then entered the water directly. It was winter again, and the consumption of physical strength and heat was huge.

The two young men were also exhausted. The rescued man was about forty years old and his drowning was relatively serious. Chen Zhigang and He Wei gave him compressions and vomited some water before he recovered.

Cao Rui said:

"Call the village, the police station, and the health center and ask them to come..."

Peach Blossom Shop is not large, and there are farmers living around the reservoir. There is such a big movement, and someone has already seen what is going on here. As soon as one person sees it, as soon as the phone call is made, onlookers gather from all directions.

In a short time, hundreds of people gathered on the embankment.

"Chen Jianhua is diving. How come this old man chooses such a useless way to die instead of dying?"

"Jianhua is really suffering. He lost his wife and fell ill again. He probably wants to simply die!"

"He is dead, but what about the baby?"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"Who is rescuing people? Does that seem to be Peng Hai? There is also a boy from the Zhu Ziheng family. By the way, there is also an older one who looks like a stranger. Is he the son-in-law of some family..."

Cao Rui regained his breath, found a secluded place, took off his wet clothes, and put on the remaining dry clothes.

There were no pants underneath, so he was wearing nothing. The close-fitting autumn clothes were also wet, and the sweater stuck directly to the flesh. I didn't feel cold when I went into the water to save people, but now I was shivering from the cold.

After he came out he said:

“Fellow fellow, if you have any difficulties that you cannot solve, the government will find a solution for you. We will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties together if we work together. Don’t think of short-sighted things again!

You committed suicide today because you were lucky and happened to meet us passing by. Otherwise, you committed suicide yourself and took away two young children. Isn't this harming others and yourself? "

After Cao Rui said this, he called He Wei and Chen Zhigang, and the three of them drove back to the town quickly.

Back at the town government, people had been arranged to prepare two large buckets of hot water for Cao Rui. Clothes and other items were also prepared for Cao Rui. Cao Rui took a comfortable hot bath and felt relieved.

Cao Rui returned to the room, where Xu Aimin lit a charcoal fire for Cao Rui. He said:

"Secretary, you are taking too many risks today. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Cao Rui said:

"These are all random things, sudden events. It's just like our lives. There is never a script. I couldn't have imagined that situation at the time!"

"By the way, Brother Xu, today's trip is worth it. I didn't know that Taohuapu is divided into front mountain and back mountain. I thought that your home is Taohuapu Village. Today I went to the front mountain. Good guy, I saw the beautiful scenery. It's really It’s a great place!”

Xu Aimin took a deep look at Cao Rui, and he really admired Cao Rui. He was young and energetic, and he didn't take big things seriously. This kind of energy is probably what Qilihe needs now.

"Brother Xu, let's control this matter today and don't make it known to everyone. We will have to look at the issue of village-level branch construction again and find a solution!

What Secretary Ding did before may not be completely applicable, and using Yang Qifu to deal with Peng Dakun can only treat the symptoms. If we want to build grassroots organizations, we must come up with fundamental solutions!

If Qilihe Town wants to develop, how can we rely on a few township cadres? We must rely on the joint efforts of our [-] village branches and [-] fellow villagers..."
