Chapter 440: Rescue from drowning



If southern Guizhou Province is an excellent summer resort during this season, then anyone who goes to southern Hunan Province every day at this time is asking for trouble.

The midday temperature in Changhe City is now as high as 40 degrees Celsius.

Even in the early morning, everyone found it very difficult to adjust after getting off the plane.

If you come directly from Tianhua City, it might be okay, but coming directly from Southern Guizhou Province where the temperature is 20 degrees, it is really unbearable.

In order to save money on air tickets, Bai Song booked a later flight, so when he arrived here today, he must have rested nearby.

Changhe City is a big city with a population of tens of millions. It is late at night and there are still many people at the airport. In this temperature, it seems as lively as during the day.

After getting off the plane and boarding the shuttle bus, I was so hot that I felt dizzy. I finally felt refreshed when I entered the airport lobby.

After picking up their luggage, several people got into a taxi as if they were running for their lives.

I finally calmed down after getting off the car and entering the hotel.

This trip was a bit rushed and everyone had no appetite due to the heat, so we only ordered some takeout after we checked in.

As mentioned earlier, the eating habits in southern Guizhou Province tend to be spicy.

But, compared to Shonan Province...

Several servings of fried rice and noodles were delivered by the courier, and Wang Liang secretly smiled as he held his bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

Except for scrambled eggs with tomatoes, all other dishes are spicy. Even if they are marked as mildly spicy or even without chili peppers, they are still spicy.

Bai Song regretted it after taking just a few bites.

Seeing Wang Liang gloating, Bai Song felt deeply young... Bai Song had laughed at Wang Liang when he was on a business trip before, and now it was his turn to cry.

Facts have proved that if you don't seek death, you won't die.

When they woke up the next day, except for Wang Huadong and Ren Xu, everyone else had more or less local discomfort in the posterior part.

Humans are really very strange animals. The exit that we think is the dirtiest is actually very, very delicate. It can even be said to be much more delicate than the mouth.

Exports are mankind’s good brothers and sisters.

When you tell others that you have a disease like hepatitis or bronchitis, they will be more or less a little bit repulsive.

However, once your friends hear that you have an infection, they will immediately come over to ask about your well-being.

The next day, Wang Liang paid special attention to Bai Song for a long time, which made Bai Song almost think that there was something wrong with Wang Liang's sexual orientation.

The most infuriating thing is that Ren Xu ate so much but nothing happened to him!

When God opens a door for you, does he also add attribute points to you?

In the morning, Bai Song rented two cars, with three people in one, and they moved separately. Before noon, they arrived at Changhe District.

The car was not a good one, and the air conditioning did not work, but there was nothing we could do about it. After all, this kind of car rental could not be reimbursed during the trip. According to the standard, in addition to air tickets, train tickets and accommodation fees, each person had a fixed amount of more than 100 yuan per day.

So if I rent a slightly better car, I won’t be able to afford meat for meals, how can this work…

However, even though the food was okay, they were not used to the food here and were not used to the climate and water. At noon on the first day here, Bai Song, Liu Shuyuan and Sun Jie all suffered from heatstroke.

When it comes to heatstroke, it’s really not a problem of physical constitution. It’s just that you’re not used to it, or you’re not used to the local climate or water.

However, this kind of heatstroke caused by acclimatization is not a big problem. They just drank a lot of boiled water. After drinking too much, they felt like vomiting. They went to the bathroom to vomit it all out, then came back to drink some more. The three of them were mostly cured.

At the same time, Bai Song also bought some Huoxiang Zhengqi water and distributed it to everyone.

This district is close to the Xiangjiang River. Because there is no bridge nearby, there are certain differences in development on both sides of the river.

The six men split into two groups and prepared to take the ferry to the more backward side.

Of course, you can also drive there, but you basically have to go around for a distance, and driving is a bit conspicuous, so everyone is dressed like college students, each carrying a bag, and traveling light.

Bai Song’s plan is to go over and take a look today and come back in the evening.

As they separated and approached the ferry, several of them noticed problems at the ferry not far away.

The river here is relatively wide, and because it flows slowly, it is more suitable for a ferry. All boats are human-powered, and the fare is two dollars per trip.

The price is really not expensive. There are two boatmen on one boat, and they row dozens of trips a day, with about ten people on each trip. Although the boat is not full, it is still possible to maintain a good life every day.

This place is some distance away from the city center and is on the border of Changhe City. Ten kilometers further south is Hetan City.

From this side, it looked like this should be a ferry coming from the other side, but for some unknown reason a quarrel broke out and the situation became very chaotic on the boat.

A boat of this size, carrying about 10 people, is actually considered overloaded, but fortunately the river in this place is very slow, and the boatman does have a certain ability to control the boat, so it is usually fine.

However, once the commotion started, the trouble got even bigger. Three or five men started to make a commotion, and the boat became unstable. Some of them deliberately rocked the boat, and it capsized.

A wooden boat will not sink even if it enters water, but this does not mean that people will not drown if the boat capsizes. When several boatmen on the shore saw this situation, they immediately untied the ropes that tied their boats and rowed towards that side.

The six people were in a high place and could clearly see that the boat had capsized. Several people who could swim floated up and held up the overturned side of the boat.

Those who can't swim will be in big trouble and will just sink down.

Several boatmen became anxious. These were human lives, and it would not benefit anyone if people drowned here. Everyone was a good swimmer, so they dived down to save the people.

However, since everyone jumped off the boat, these boats had no anchors and tended to drift with the current.

This was not a big problem, after all, the water was very slow. However, one of the ships, due to inertia, directly crashed into the upside-down boat.

This boatman was the first one to row towards this side, and the boat was going quite fast. As soon as he jumped off the boat, the boat crashed straight forward.

As a result of the collision, two people who were holding onto the side of the boat were knocked away.

Facts have proven that those who can hold onto the side of the boat are not necessarily good swimmers, some are just lucky. This was the case with these two people, as soon as they let go, they immediately fluttered.

But at this time, none of the boatmen paid attention to these two people.

After the incident happened, Bai Song and others gathered at the dock entrance. There were already more than 20 people gathered there. Everyone noticed the situation. Without thinking, Bai Song gave his bag to Ren Xu and jumped down.

Bai Song also knew his teammates well - only Ren Xu couldn't swim.

During this period, Bai Song went to the gym to swim for a while after training every day. This was naturally his obligation, and the same was true for others.
