Ni Weimin left. Apart from asking Ni Yunjiaojiao and Yu Shengnan to come at the beginning, he didn't say a word to her afterwards. He only left 300,000 RMB as a reward for her.
Are all the people in the big family so cold-blooded and ruthless? Ni Yunjiao didn't know. She only knew that she liked the atmosphere of the Yu family very much and cherished the days with Yu Shengnan and He Xinran.
Grandpa and Uncle Tonglou went back first. As for the fact that Uncle Tonglou would gossip about his two wives, he was not worried at all. People who practiced martial arts were generally not so gossipy.
In the Yu family's living room, the three of them didn't feel crowded and squeezed onto a two-person sofa. They did nothing and just snuggled up to each other. An atmosphere called happiness spread in the house.
Compared with their hometown, the house in the county town makes them more comfortable. The main reason is that the three of them have become accustomed to the warmth in the south in recent years. The north is too cold in winter, so it is more comfortable to live in a house with floor heating.
"I'll go cook, Yunjiao, you steam the rice." Yu Shengnan felt hungry and quickly started preparing lunch.
He Xinran watched the two of them busy coming in and out, and she didn't want to add to the trouble. She just lay on the sofa and looked at her phone.
"The situation is extremely critical. The sudden ice break at Xidayang Reservoir has already caused six people to fall into the water. Rescue efforts are still ongoing..."
He Xinran brought up a piece of news. The volume of the phone was loud enough for the three people to hear it clearly.
"Where is the Xidayang Reservoir? In Europe? Isn't that the Atlantic Ocean?" Ni Yunjiao asked a stupid question.
"Let me see it," Yu Shengnan wiped her hands, came over and picked up the phone.
I couldn't find the live news broadcast, but there was a picture news report released at 10:30. The news report only had one picture, showing someone falling into the water and people nearby trying to rescue him.
Yu Shengnan looked at the time. It was already half past eleven, and an hour had passed since the news was released. This meant that if the people in the water had not been rescued, it would be very dangerous.
"I'll be back soon, you guys eat first," Yu Shengnan said as she took off her apron, put on her clothes and ran out.
"Be careful" and "Protect yourself", He Xinran and Ni Yunjiao expressed their concerns at the same time.
"Don't worry, I know. Don't worry, it's not too late," Yu Shengnan smiled back at them.
Go downstairs and drive straight to Xidayang Reservoir. Xidayang Reservoir is too big. If you don’t drive, it will be too dark when you go around the reservoir and come back.
When they arrived, the reservoir gate was open and there were vehicles going back and forth. Yu Shengnan happened to follow them into the reservoir.
There's no need to ask, just watch the car in front speed up and follow it. The person coming at this time must be coming because of a drowning incident. Chinese people like to join in the fun in everything, and those who understand will understand.
When Yu Shengnan arrived, there were already many people gathered at the scene, but they were all gathered on the shore. There were only a dozen people actually rescuing people on the ice.
"That woman is dead, but what about the other men? Are they all okay?"
"Everyone else is fine. We've already thrown in wood and a lifebuoy, but the ship didn't sink. I don't know what happened to that woman, but she kept shouting that something was biting her, and then she went under..."
The people who fell into the water were not far from the shore, about ten meters away. You can clearly see that there were broken ice all around them. Maybe because this winter was not too cold and not freezing enough, the ice surface cracked and these people fell in. I just don’t know why they all fell here together?
Yu Shengnan stood aside, listening to the gossip and commentary from the spectators. His eyes were fixed on the location of the drowning man. After a moment's silent consideration, he unhesitatingly climbed over the guardrail and carefully stepped onto the ice along the steep slope.
Save them! This was the only firm thought in Yu Shengnan's mind. He had seen a news photo of his childhood friend, Qiao Shan's father, among the drowning victims. Right now, Qiao Shan's father, clutching a lifebuoy, drifted in the water, his life or death uncertain.
"Look! Why aren't those people moving?" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to the drowning victims. They floated silently in the water, like lifeless puppets.
"Alas, after being in the water for so long, my legs must have been frozen. If it weren't for the people above struggling to rescue them, giving them a glimmer of hope, I'm afraid they would have sunk immediately if they relaxed even a little.
Time waits for no one. Under everyone's gaze, Yu Shengnan began to take off her clothes. She had to take off her coat. If her down jacket really fell into the water and was soaked in water, it would sink even deeper. By then, let alone saving others, it would be hard to say whether she could get out of the water herself.
He was only wearing a thin fleece-lined warm outfit, and he felt so cold that he shivered. Fortunately, Yu Shengnan had done some breathing exercises in advance, and his whole body was warm, so this little bit of coldness was just right for him.
He put the handbag down, took out two ropes, tied the two ropes together, and then found a big tree on the shore to start tying them up. Everyone knew that he was trying to save people, so they all made way for him.
Someone nearby was shouting, asking everyone to stay away from the tree to prevent anyone from damaging the rope.
Yu Shengnan glanced at the person who was shouting, then walked towards the person who fell into the water with the rope in her arms.
The rope he brought was longer, with one set being more than twenty meters long. Two sets together were more than enough. The main reason was that the distance from the binding position to the person who fell into the water was not the most straight-line distance, otherwise one set would be enough.
"Make way and let this brother pass," someone who was rescuing people on the ice shouted.
"It's difficult to get out of the water after going into it. It's hard to exert force in the water. I'll go down and tie them up with ropes. Please help pull them up," Yu Shengnan said while walking and explaining the rescue plan to the people on the ice.
These people are all public servants, and the uniforms and armbands they wear show their units, such as fire, public security, urban management, security, etc.
Well, let me count it as a good thing for you urban management officers!
Yu Shengnan wasn't looking behind him. As he walked over, the rope behind him was grabbed by everyone on the ice.
"Everyone, keep your distance. Those at the back should stand back a little, so that everyone doesn't fall in again."
Yu Shengnan arrived near the broken ice, but before he was ready, the ice broke and he fell into the water.
I didn't expect the ice here to be so fragile. No wonder these people fell into the water.
It’s cold on the ice, but once you get into the water, it won’t be that cold after you get used to it.
Those people would be frozen to death mainly because they couldn't swim and were afraid to move in the water. Those who could really swim would actually be less likely to freeze to death.
Yu Shengnan swam over and started to tie them up one by one, asking them to do it themselves. It was impossible. These people were still alive, firstly because of floating objects thrown by people on the ice, and secondly, they were holding on for a breath.
When Yu Shengnan tied up Qiao Shan's father, Qiao Lei, the other party winked at him, obviously recognizing him. He comforted the uncle and then continued to tie up the next one.
