The night before departure, Xu Yan reminded everyone in the group again to take their luggage with them.

Not only Xu Yan but also comrades from the village party branch and representatives from the village went on the inspection.

The person elected by the village happened to be Uncle Li Younian.

As for the reason, I heard from others that Uncle Li was the most educated among them, had good eloquence, and was also good at working, so I recommended him.

However, Xu Yan felt relieved when she saw that it was Uncle Li, because compared to others, Uncle Li was more stable.

The next morning, just after dawn, Xu Yan counted the number of people at the designated location. When everything was ready, Xu Yan led the team down the mountain.

Xu Yan bought a train ticket because the plane ticket was too expensive.

The mountain roads here are difficult to walk on, but fortunately everyone in the team is already used to going up and down the mountain, so the journey was relatively smooth.

After leaving the village and rushing to go to work, I waited on the road and soon a tricycle would come.

Xu Yan yelled at the top of her lungs, "Uncle!"

Suddenly, a tricycle stopped in front of them, and the uncle asked, "What's the matter, girl?"

"Uncle, what are you doing? Where are you going? Can you take us for a walk?"

The uncle looked at them, as if he was trying to figure out whether his tricycle could carry them. After a while, he said:

"Of course you can, but where are you going?"

"Is the bus stop in front ok?"

"Okay, come on up, it might be a bit crowded though."

"It's okay!"

Xu Yan saw it and quickly asked others to get in the car. She felt that the speed had slowed down a lot.

After more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at the first bus stop.

Several people got off the bus. Xu Yan had already planned that the bus here could go to the town, and there was also a train station in the town.

The train station in the town was introduced a few years ago. It didn’t exist before that and no one knows when it was brought into the town.

Fortunately, thanks to the train station, the town's economy has improved greatly. Not only that, the surrounding villages have also improved a lot because there are backpackers coming.

It’s just that the road to Baicun is a little hard to find.

After taking the bus to the town, they rested for a while and then boarded the train.

Fortunately, the distance is not far and you can get there by train in half a day.

And a big event also happened in the village.

There is a pond in Baicun, which is neither big nor small, and neither deep nor shallow. It is nothing for an adult, but it is an abyss for a child.

Aunt Pang is a famous "head chef" in the village. She has studied food and cooking all her life. Whenever there is a banquet in the village, no matter how big or small, Aunt Pang will be called to be the person in charge.

Aunt Pang’s husband passed away early and she never thought about remarrying, so she raised all the children by herself. Aunt Pang’s son works in the town, and so does his daughter-in-law.

Aunt Pang has a grandson who happened to be brought over to stay for a few days during this period. Her son and daughter-in-law are very confident that their mother will take care of him.

But today, Aunt Pang had just finished making lunch and called her grandson's nickname but found that he didn't respond.

I went out and looked for a long time but found that he was gone.

Aunt Fat became anxious now. She had been fine before, why was she so abnormal today?

"Watermelon! Watermelon!"

Aunt Fat walked out and shouted in a hurry, only to see Uncle Wang hurried over and said, "Hey, Aunt Fat, your grandson fell into the pond, and now everyone in the village is calling Secretary Xu and the hospital!"

When Aunt Pang heard this, she felt like the sky was falling. When she was taken away by Uncle Wang, she felt as if her feet were not her own and her mind was in a daze.

When I saw several people gathered in a circle by the pond, I saw someone talking on the phone while his grandson was lying on the ground unconscious.

I was so scared that I almost fainted.

Xu Yan was still on the train when she received the call. She was shocked to hear that Xigua had fallen into the pond and was now unconscious.

She also heard someone exclaim that Aunt Fat had fainted.

But there was no time to think about so many things now, so I quickly asked them to give the child artificial respiration.

Uncle Wang took over this important task, and a few minutes later Xu Yan finally heard the good news from the other end of the phone.

Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing happened. Only then did the others dare to ask Xu Yan what had happened, and Xu Yan told them the general idea.

The others were shocked to hear Xu Yan say this. Uncle Li said, "Luckily Xigua is fine, otherwise Fatty would have lost her soul."

"Yes, fortunately it was discovered early, if it was too late then..."

Fu Xiang let out a breath, and it was scary just to hear it.

Xu Yan glanced at the others and said, "Xigua is not the only child in the village. What happened to Xigua is likely to happen to other children."

"Yes, that pond is nothing to us, but it is very deep for a child."

"How about this, when we get back, we'll ask the villagers to build a wall around the pond."

Xu Yan watched as others nodded and sighed in her heart: She had been in the village for several months, but she had never thought of the danger of the pond....

Fu Xiang seemed to see what Xu Yan was thinking. He patted Xu Yan's hand and comforted her, "Secretary, it's okay. This is the first time for us to do this. It's normal to not expect it. Just be more careful in the future."

When Uncle Li heard this, he also hurriedly said, "Yes, Secretary Xu, we, the people of this village, have been here for so many years and have never thought of enclosing the pond. Don't blame yourself."

"Um.."

Xu Yanhui patted Fu Xiang's hand, looked at everyone else, and indicated that she was fine.

In the village, Aunt Fat woke up suddenly, saw herself lying in the room, and went out immediately. As soon as she went out, she bumped into Uncle Wang.

"Xiao Wang, where is my grandson?!"

Uncle Wang looked at Auntie Pang's expression, patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, Auntie Pang, Xigua is fine. Thanks to Secretary Xu who asked me to give him artificial respiration, Xigua was saved. But Xigua might have been scared, so I asked Lao Ji and the others to take him to the clinic in town."

"Please bless me, God bless me! It's all thanks to Secretary Xu and Xiao Wang. If anything happened to my grandson, I wouldn't want to live anymore!"

When Aunt Pang heard that her child was fine, she felt relieved. If something had happened to her grandson, she wouldn't have known how she would have the face to face her son and daughter-in-law.

"Then I'll go to town to see the watermelons now."

Aunt Fat quickly put on her coat and went out. Uncle Wang called her: "Sister Fat, I have a tricycle, I'll go with you."

"Hey, okay, okay, let's go."

........

Xu Yan and her friends got off the train station and took a bus straight to school. They had already contacted Teacher Shen Qiu on the phone, only to see that Shen Qiu was already waiting at the school gate.

When Xu Yan saw it, she hurried over.

Shen Qiu saw the girl in front of him and said, "It must be classmate Xu Yan."

"Yes, hello, Teacher Shen Qiu!"

At this time, other people also caught up, and Xu Yan quickly introduced: "Teacher Shen, this is the team that came out to investigate. This is Fu Xiang, Jin Hua and Zhang Lei. These three are comrades from the village party branch. This is Uncle Li Youhua from our village."

Shen Qiu greeted them one by one with a smile.
