The situation was urgent, leaving no time for further deliberation.
The only solution was the one Su Mu proposed.
Next, Su Mu tied his body with ropes.
The other end was tied to a big tree.
But the villagers were worried, also held the rope tightly with their hands.
"Xiaomu, be careful!"
The village chief knew that anything else he said at this time would be pointless.
He can only remind Su Mu to be careful.
"Don't worry, Uncle Li."
Su Mu nodded and his expression became serious.
This tree is big though.
But the tree head is in the river.
Moreover, the soil at its roots was also washed away due to the heavy rain.
The roots of the tree are completely visible.
If this continues, coupled with the fast-flowing river, I believe it won't be long before the entire tree is washed away.
So Su Mu became cautious when he came to the top of the tree.
As he slowly moved forward, he yelled at Uncle Li who was holding onto the branch.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I'm here to save you, you must hold on! ! "
"Xiao Mu, Uncle Li, I don't have much strength left. You don't have to take risks for me."
"You are still young. How can I live with myself if something happens to you because of me?!"
Uncle Li was deeply moved when he saw Su Mu risking his life to save him.
But he was also concerned.
He also didn't want Su Mu to get into any accident because of saving him.
He has lived for so many years, which is enough. There is no need to drag a young person into it.
"Uncle Li, what are you talking about? You are from our village. How can I just stand by and watch the villagers in danger? Don't worry, hold on, I will be there soon! ! "
The reason why Su Mu said this was to distract Uncle Li and let him not be so nervous.
After all, he had seen some news before, and some firefighters would talk to him and ask him to divert their attention when they saw someone in danger.
If this is not done, the person taking the risk will keep thinking about it and become more and more nervous.
This will greatly increase the difficulty of rescue work.
Because of the rain.
This makes the tree trunks very slippery.
Originally, Su Mu was only two meters away from Li Bo.
But just these two meters took Su Mu several minutes to walk.
Finally, he came in front of Uncle Li.
"Uncle Li, give me your hand!"
Su Mu said loudly.
Uncle Li looked at Su Mu coming over, with a touched look on his face.
Then, he grabbed the branch with one hand and reached out to Su Mu's hand with the other.
When Uncle Li's hand just grabbed Su Mu's hand.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
A large mudslide was washed down the river.
The strong impact directly washed away the trees on the river channel.
The next second, Su Mu and Li Bo's bodies fell directly into the river.
"Quickly pull the rope!!"
Li Siming saw this scene and shouted immediately! !
Then he stepped forward, stretched out his hands, grasped the rope tightly, and pulled it upwards.
"Xiao Mu, please don't get into trouble!!"
Li Siming prayed while pulling the rope.
If something really happened to Su Mu, how would he explain to Su Mu's grandfather and Su Mu's parents? ?
In the river, because things happened so quickly, Su Mu didn't react at all at the first time.
Fortunately, he had grabbed Li Bo's body before he fell into the turbulent river.
However, Uncle Li, out of fear, clung to Su Mu, making it difficult for Su Mu to swim.
In fact, people are all like this.
When they encounter danger, they will subconsciously hold on to something.
Sometimes, when a person jumps into a river to save another person, he may be dragged into the river by the person being rescued.
Therefore, whether you are a good swimmer or a citizen who is trying to save lives, you must take safety measures when rescuing someone who falls into the water.
Without these measures, both the rescuer and the person being rescued could drown.
But fortunately, Su Mu had already taken measures in advance to rescue Uncle Li.
Therefore, even though Su Mu cannot move his hands and legs now, there was a rope tied around his body, so he could only place his hope on the people on the shore.
Soon, Su Mu felt the rope around his waist becoming tighter.
And his body was also moving in the river.
He understood that it was Uncle Li and the others who were pulling the rope.
I believe it won't be long before he and Uncle Li are rescued.
About ten seconds.
Su Mu's body and Li Bo's body finally appeared on the surface of the river.
"Xiaomu, are you okay?"
Seeing this scene, Li Siming on the shore hurriedly shouted to Su Mu.
"Uncle Li, I'm fine, hurry up and pull us up!"
"Good."
"Everyone, work harder!!"
"Hey shoo!!"
Soon, Su Mu and Li Bo's bodies finally reached the shore.
Everyone took action and pulled Su Mu and Old Li up.
Looking at the people around him, Su Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He just lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
Though it had only been a short time, he had exerted a lot of energy protecting Uncle Li in the water.
And now, having finally reached the shore, his tense spirit could finally relax.
"Xiao Mu, thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been swept away."
Uncle Li on the side took a deep breath, and then said to Su Mu with a grateful look on his face.
If Su Mu hadn't rescued him, he would have been washed away by the river.
Maybe even the body won't be found.
And now, after experiencing the moment of life and death, Uncle Li knew that this was Su Mu giving him a second life.
"Uncle Li, you're welcome. After all, you are my elder. How can I just stand by and watch you get into danger?"
"Now that I see you're okay, I'm relieved."
"Xiao Mu, you're a hero in our village. If it weren't for you, Uncle Li's life might have been lost," Aunt Chen said, giving Su Mu a thumbs up.
Everyone praised Su Mu.
To be honest, what happened today also proved that Su Mu is a good person and it also proved that it is still a good thing to have a young man in the village.
"My dear uncles and aunts, this is what I should do. We are all from the same village. When someone in the village is in danger, we will naturally help them through the difficulties."
"We don't know how long this rain will last, so please try to stay out as little as possible."
"If the crops are ruined, they are ruined. At worst, we can just plant more next year, but there is only one life left."
Su Mu said earnestly.
"Xiao Mu is right. It's still raining heavily, so everyone should try to stay indoor. Lao Li has been rescued, so everyone should go home first."
"Old Li, go back and change your wet clothes. You are so old, it would be bad if you catch a cold."
"Ok, I know."
"Xiao Mu, I'll come back to thank you another day."
Uncle Li also knew that he should go back and change his clothes at this time.
As for how to thank Su Mu.
He planned to thank them properly after the heavy rain stopped.
