Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

"Quick! Find a rope!" a burly middle-aged man shouted.

He is an enthusiastic person in the courtyard, his name is Chen Fei.

While shouting, he looked around for a rope that could be used for rescue.

Soon, someone handed over a thick hemp rope.

Chen Fei took the rope, quickly tied one end to the tree in the yard, and threw the other end towards Yi Zhonghai.

However, as Yi Zhonghai's hands were wet and weak, he failed to grab the rope after several attempts.

"Don't give up! Try again!" Chen Fei shouted anxiously.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, but he did not give up and continued to encourage Yi Zhonghai.

Finally, with Chen Fei's encouragement, Yi Zhonghai tried to grab the rope again.

However, at this moment, the liquid in the pit suddenly churned, and a huge force pulled Yi Zhonghai down suddenly.

His hands lost strength in an instant and his body slid into the depths of the pit again.

"Not good!" Chen Fei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pulled the rope hard.

But at this time, Yi Zhonghai's body had been completely submerged in the liquid in the pit, with only his head barely above the water.

The residents around cried out in surprise when they saw this, and they were very nervous and frightened as they watched Chen Fei pulling the rope with all his strength.

But Chen Fei did not give up. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull Yi Zhonghai up.

Finally, with Chen Fei's efforts, Yi Zhonghai's body was slowly pulled out of the pit.

However, the moment he was pulled out, the liquid in the pit gushed out like a fountain, splashing large amounts of filthy liquid.

Seeing this, the rescue comrades hurriedly dodged, but a few people were unfortunately splashed.

After Yi Zhonghai was rescued to the shore, he was already dying. He lay on the ground gasping for breath, as if he had just escaped from the clutches of death.

The residents around gathered around to check on him. Some brought water to wash his body, while others called the emergency number.

This sudden and strange case caused a lot of discussion among the residents of the courtyard.

They didn't know why Yi Zhonghai fell into the cesspool, nor did they know what he had experienced.

But no matter what, this thrilling rescue operation made them admire Chen Fei very much.

Chen Fei stood silently by the side, watching Yi Zhonghai being taken away in the ambulance.

There is sympathy and pity for Yi Zhonghai, but also confusion and incomprehension about this strange case.

But he knew that he had tried his best no matter what.

Chen Fei stood at the gate of the hospital, looking at the ambulance gradually disappearing in the distance, praying silently in his heart that Yi Zhonghai would be safe.

At the same time, a strong urge surged in his heart - he wanted to uncover the truth behind this strange case!

In a corner of the bustling old city, Yi Zhonghai, a clerk who couldn't be more ordinary, is experiencing the most thrilling moment of his life.

The edges of the pit were overgrown with weeds, hiding its disgusting true appearance.

Yi Zhonghai stepped on empty air and lost his balance instantly. With a scream of terror, he fell straight down.

"Plop!" Water splashed everywhere and sewage overflowed.

Yi Zhonghai struggled to float to the surface, but his body seemed to be tightly grasped by something and he could not move.

He slapped the water in panic, trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

However, Yi Zhonghai soon realized a cruel fact - he could not swim.

He struggled, trying to get his head out of the water, but each time he could only get a brief respite.

My heartbeat quickened, my breathing became rapid, and my body's strength was lost bit by bit.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to despair, a figure suddenly appeared beside the cesspool.

She was a slender woman. She looked at Yi Zhonghai in the pit with a hint of surprise and confusion on her face.

"Yi Zhonghai? Why are you here?" the woman asked loudly.

Yi Zhonghai looked up and was immediately surprised and delighted.

He recognized the woman; she was his neighbor Qin Huairu.

Although Qin Huairu is a bit aggressive, she is kind-hearted and helpful.

Her appearance at this moment was undoubtedly a timely help to Yi Zhonghai.

"Hurry... hurry and save me!" Yi Zhonghai shouted with all his strength.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu took off her shoes without hesitation, rolled up her trouser legs, and prepared to jump into the pit to save people.

However, just as she was about to jump, she suddenly stopped.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai in the pit, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

"Yi Zhonghai, why did you fall into the pit?" Qin Huairu asked.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Huairu would ask such a question at this critical moment.

But he soon understood Qin Huairu's intention - she was confirming whether he should take the risk to save people.

"I... I don't know..." Yi Zhonghai answered with difficulty, "I was walking and suddenly fell down..."

Qin Huairu frowned even more tightly when she heard this.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's panicked face, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

But she knew that sympathy would not solve the problem.

A decision must be made - take the risk to save people, or choose to leave?

Just then, a gust of wind blew, making Qin Huairu's hair messy.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then snapped them open and made a decision.

"Hold on!" Qin Huairu shouted, "I'm coming to save you!"

After saying that, she jumped into the pit without hesitation.

The feces instantly submerged her body, but she didn't care.

She swam hard towards Yi Zhonghai, stretched out her arm and grabbed his wrist.

"Catch me!" Qin Huairu shouted.

Yi Zhonghai was delighted when he heard this.

He grasped Qin Huairu's arm tightly and struggled upwards.

The two worked together to try to break free from the pit.

However, at this moment, a huge suction force suddenly came from the bottom of the pit.

The two of them only felt their bodies sink, as if they were being sucked tightly by something.

They struggled in fear, but could not break free from the suction no matter what.

"Hurry...quickly pull me up!" Yi Zhonghai shouted.

Qin Huairu also realized the seriousness of the situation.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull Yi Zhonghai upwards.

But the suction was so strong that she couldn't break free from it.

Just when the two were about to despair, a figure suddenly appeared beside the pit.

He was a burly man. He looked at the two people in the pit with a hint of surprise and confusion on his face.

But he soon understood what was going on.

Without hesitation, he took off his coat and shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and prepared to jump into the pit to save people.

"Get out of the way!" the man shouted, "I'm here to save them!"

After saying that, he suddenly jumped up and jumped into the pit.

He swam towards the two men, stretched out his arms and grabbed their wrists.

Then he pulled upwards with all his strength, trying to pull them out of the pit.

After a fierce struggle and effort, the three finally broke free from the pit.

They lay on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.

"Thank you...thank you..." Yi Zhonghai said with tears of gratitude.
