Under the arrangement of Village Chief Liu, the township organized a dozen people, plus a dozen people from Beiyuan Village, and everyone began to search for Zhou Bin's whereabouts.
At this time, the water level in the puddle had obviously dropped a lot. Everyone took a hemp rope, tied it around a person who knew how to swim, and let him down.
The man closed his eyes and dived down. Everyone above him held the hemp rope tightly, agreeing to pull him up immediately if there was any problem.
The man groped around down there for three minutes and began to feel unable to hold on any longer.
Everyone worked together to pull him up, and Li Nan hurried forward and asked, "Did you see anything?"
The man shook off the black water on his head and said helplessly: "There is nothing down there. I have checked everything."
Everyone was stunned. Why was there nothing there? Logically, Zhou Bin should be in the cave!
Li Nan's eyes, which had held a glimmer of hope just now, dimmed in an instant, and his face was filled with unconcealable sadness.
Zhou Jianming asked unwillingly, "Did you not look carefully?"
The man immediately said, "That's it. I'll go down and take a look."
Zhou Jianming immediately said gratefully: "Thank you!"
The man waved his hands and dived down again.
You have to know that it is spring now and the weather has just started to warm up. Moreover, the water is turbid and the situation is unclear. It will be dangerous every time you go down.
But the other party went down without saying anything, and Zhou Jianming was naturally very grateful.
Li Nan's heart instantly rose to her throat again. She was looking forward to news, but also afraid of bad news.
She waited in confusion for three or four minutes, and the man surfaced again.
Everyone rushed forward and asked about the situation. The man gasped for a long time before he resumed normal breathing.
He said with surprise, "This cave seems to be connected to the river below, so it is bottomless. I guess the person is not here, and I am afraid he has fallen into the river a long time ago."
This new discovery immediately stunned everyone. It wasn't in the cave? Did it really fall into the river?
Because this place is right on the river bank and not far from the river, this situation is possible.
Then everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. If someone had fallen into the river, who knows, the person might still be alive!
When everyone told Li Nan and Zhou Jianming this idea, they were both stunned for a moment.
Zhou Jianming asked anxiously: "Is everything you said true?"
A young man in the village said: "Really, as long as we haven't found the person yet, there is hope."
When Zhou Jianming heard this, he almost jumped up with excitement and kept saying, "Xiao Nan, did you hear that? Binbin might be fine."
Li Nan's eyes also lit up, and she quickly bowed deeply to everyone to express her gratitude.
In view of the current situation, the rescue plan has also been changed.
Let's all go and search along the river, maybe we can find some clues.
So everyone formed groups of three and spread out on both sides of the river bank to conduct a carpet search.
At the same time, ask along the way if anyone has seen Zhou Bin.
Li Nan and Zhou Jianming also joined the search team. Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart. Maybe Brother Bin was still alive!
Thinking of this, she regained her strength and started searching with everyone else.
Zhou Jianming kept muttering, "Binbin, please don't get into any trouble. Please come back!"
While a group of people were searching carefully on both sides of the river bank, Zhou Bin was eating a big meal in a place twenty miles away from Beiyuan Village.
He slurped down a bowl of noodles and ate it with great relish.
An old man at the side said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Zhou Bin smiled and nodded, but he didn't slow down his speech.
He finished a bowl of spicy noodle soup and took a sip of the soup, eating very hurriedly.
The old man looked at Zhou Bin and thought, was this kid hungry? Why does he eat so much?
Zhou Bin ate eight bowls of spicy noodle soup in a row before standing up.
He took out ten yuan from his pocket, handed it to the old man, and thanked him: "Uncle, thank you for your hospitality! I have an emergency at home and I have to go back quickly."
The old man refused directly: "You kid, I don't want money! I just ate a few bowls of noodles, why do I need money!"
Zhou Bin insisted on putting the money down, saying, "Uncle, I'll wash your coat and bring it back to you. I have to go back now."
As he turned around and walked out, the old man hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, young man, don't be impatient, you haven't got your clothes yet!"
Zhou Bin laughed. He was so anxious that he almost forgot about his clothes.
He immediately picked up the plastic bag containing the clothes, turned around and ran out.
The old man was standing behind him, looking at his figure and sighing: "This guy is so smart, he is fine even if he falls into the river!"
So, what is going on?
It turned out that Zhou Bin saw that the cave was about to collapse, so he hurriedly asked everyone to get out quickly and he would leave last.
But just when everyone was out and he was about to run, the bottom of the cave suddenly collapsed. He didn't even have time to shout and fell down.
His mind went blank at the time, and he thought that he was probably done for.
However, he slipped and fell into the river with a plop.
Because he was hit while sliding down, he lost consciousness instantly and was then washed away by the river.
Not knowing how far he had rushed, Zhou Bin suddenly woke up in the river.
When he looked down, he found himself drifting downstream, so he quickly used his hands and feet to swim back to the shore.
He had learned to swim in his previous life, so such deep water was no problem for him.
