1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 331 Pumping out puddles to find children?

Li Duoyu is really the first and the second. What's going on with people nowadays? Everyone wants to have children so much.

  It means driving irregularly.

It’s still a big deal because I have so much money.

 Unlike later generations, the organization has lost its reputation and young people are unwilling to get married, let alone have children.

 After thinking about it for a while, I realized that Zhu Dajiao is Li Duoyu’s cousin-in-law.

During this period, she finally realized that Li Duoyu was not just a village director, but a real powerhouse.

 If you want to arrest his relatives, it is best to notify them first, which can be regarded as a favor to Li Duoyu.

Because of this profession, she offended too many people in the village, and her sons also suffered. In doing so, she could leave a way out for her family.

 Seeing that Director Liu came to inform him specially, Li Duoyu thanked him again:

“Director Liu, thank you very much. If you have any trouble in the future, just let me know.”

“Then thank you, Director Li.”

After Li Duoyu learned the news, he hurried to Li Yuanguang's house. Sure enough, Li Yuanguang had returned from Nanri Town.

Since the uncle and his family separated, his second cousin has rarely been on Dandan Island, and his wife is also from Nanri Town.

Now the family has almost moved there, and the children are all studying there. There is only one house left on the island.

His sudden return like this will definitely attract others' attention.

 Li Yuanguang seemed a little nervous and surprised by Li Duoyu's arrival.

“Duoyu, why do you come to my place when you have time? Do you want to have tea with me?”

 After speaking, Li Yuanguang immediately started making tea, but he had just washed the tea cup.

Li Duoyu asked directly:

“Are you the only one who’s back? Hasn’t my sister-in-law come back?”

“Well, I’m the only one, your sister-in-law is still over there in Nanri Town.”

Seeing that his second cousin had no intention of telling the truth, Li Duoyu didn't bother to go around with him and said directly:

 “Someone has already reported it.”

After hearing this, Li Yuanguang became nervous. He lost his grip on the tea cup and fell on the tea tray, almost breaking it.

Seeing his nervous look, Li Duoyu said: "People have already discovered her. There's no point in hiding her. Let's pack up her things and run away."

 “Which **** reported it.”

Li Yuanguang was like a deflated rubber ball. He smiled bitterly and said: "Run, where can I run?"

"Duoyu, if there is nothing we can do, we will just abort her. Anyway, she was conceived by accident."

 At this time.

The bedroom door opened, and a woman with an obvious belly rushed out. She cursed at Li Yuanguang with red eyes:

“I asked you to wear it, but you didn’t. When my belly was still small, I told you to take it off, but you didn’t want it. Now that it’s so big, how do you want me to take it?”

Li Yuanguang was scolded so much that he did not dare to look up at her, and whispered: "But someone discovered me, what can I do?"

Zhu Dajiao burst into tears, but he did not dare to cry out for fear of being heard by neighbors who would come to watch.

Li Duoyu frowned. No wonder they didn't have a third child in their previous life. Unlike his sister, his cousin's belief in having a child was not strong enough.

Li Duoyu is only responsible for delivering the message. It is up to them to decide whether to have children or not.

“You have to hurry up, Director Liu should bring someone to you soon.”

Seeing his mother-in-law crying like that, Li Yuanguang glanced at her belly and gritted his teeth and said: "Duoyu, please open some letters of introduction for me, and I will take your sister-in-law to hide outside."

Li Duoyu nodded, not thinking that in this life, his second cousin would take the same escape route as his sister in the previous life.

“Yuan Guang, do you have enough money with you?”

“That’s enough. We’ve made a lot of money raising oysters in Nanri Town this year. It’s no problem to hide outside for half a year.”

"That's good."

 In less than half an hour, Li Yuanguang and Zhu Dajiao had packed their things.

Li Duoyu drove the two of them to Qingkou Pier in his fishing boat.

From this moment on, the two officially embarked on an "escape journey" for the sake of the child in their belly.

When Li Duoyu returned to the island, it was already evening, but there was a commotion at the pier, and many people were running towards the reef.

Someone else shouted: "Come out of Dadaizhi, there is a child drowned in the water."

Seeing that everyone was heading in the direction of the reef, Li Duoyu asked a random villager.

 “What’s going on?”

The villager replied: "I just heard that the grandson of the old Liao family fell into the sky."

“Is it that old Liao from the village committee?”

 “That’s right, it’s him.”

Li Duoyu frowned and suddenly felt very tired. One thing happened one after another.

Yixiantian is one of the more dangerous puddles on Dandan Island. The place is very steep and the puddle is very deep.

　　Some people died there in the early years. The villagers were very taboo about that place and had long since surrounded it with fences and barbed wire. How come there were still children playing there?

Li Duoyu came to the first-line queen, but he didn't expect that his wife Zhou Xiaoying was also there.

Beside the puddle, there was a woman holding a shoe and a schoolbag in her hand. She was lying next to the puddle and crying heartily:

 “Abao, where are you?”

 “Don’t scare mom, come out quickly and stop hiding.”

In the puddle, Lao Liao and his relatives all held buckets and kept scooping water out. Even Shitou and Zhang Jinsha came to help.

Li Duoyu briefly asked Zhou Xiaoying about the situation, and then he knew what happened.

Originally, two students did not go to class today. After school, she went directly to visit her home to find out why the children did not go to class.

But the parents said that the child went to school early in the morning carrying a schoolbag, so Zhou Xiaoying followed the parents to find the student.

 After asking many people, I found out that the child had played on the rocks.

 But they searched for more than an hour before they found a child.

As a result, I asked the children why they didn't go to school. It turned out that the two children were planning to imitate the protagonists on TV and go to those cliffs to find peerless martial arts.

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and remembered a very embarrassing thing.

It seems like he did this when he was a kid.

At that time, he naively thought that what was said in the comic strip was true, and clamored to practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra with Xiaoying.

But when I asked about the whereabouts of another child, the child who was found was not very clear. He said that the two of them were playing on the rocks and then got separated. He thought Xiaobao had gone home first.

Lao Liao and his family never found the child. Finally, they saw a shoe and a schoolbag in the puddle in the sky.

 This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lao Liao’s family.

 The people in the village also felt that the child might have lost his footing and fallen into the puddle.

 Looking at the puddle in front of me.

 Li Duoyu frowned.

Even if pumping of water pits became popular in later generations, this place known as the "pit of the dead" would still require three large pumps, which would take four to five hours to pump out all the water.

If they just used buckets to scoop out water, it would be impossible to finish scooping out the water.

One of the helpers scooping water also discovered the problem: "How long will this take?"

"Why don't you call Xiaochao and ask him to dive into the pit to see if Xiaobao is in the pit." "My wife is about to give birth, and she still asks him to do such an unlucky thing."

"I don't think you should scream anymore. If the person was really in the pit, he would have been gone for so long."

Li Duoyu arrived at the eel factory and moved the diesel water pump over to help pump water.

 But the flow rate of his water pump is not very large, at most it only requires two workers.

The more the merrier.

More than a dozen people kept scooping water out. After almost four hours, half of the water in the puddle was gone.

 But the further down you go, the harder it is to scoop it out.

 It takes three people to pour a bucket of water.

As night fell, the crowd of onlookers decreased a lot, and several fires rose around the sky, illuminating the surrounding area quite brightly.

Yixiantian Shuikeng is a kind of puddle that goes down diagonally. The whole puddle is like a knife, and the deepest part is six or seven meters.

They had used bamboo poles with hooks to catch the fish before, but they had never caught the child. Everyone felt that if the child was really in this thin sky, it was probably between two rocks.

"oops."

The stone that was helping scoop the water screamed. After hearing the sound, everyone looked at him and shined their flashlights on him.

 “Did you find it?”

  Shitou made a sad face: "No, I just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, and something seemed to bite me on the butt. Please help me see what bit me."

 When everyone looked at his butt, they found a stone crab clamping him tightly.

“You sat on a stone crab, no wonder it bit you.”

"It hurts."

“Shitou, squat your **** in the water and it should loosen up.”

 After Shitou squatted his **** in the water, the stone crab released its claws instantly.

 Escape.

“Fuck, I remember you, don’t let me catch you later, otherwise, I will remove all eight of your legs.”

 As the sea water in the sky becomes less and less, a lot of sea goods are stranded in the pit.

 There is a palm-sized swordfish, several red seals, and more than twenty conchs.

There are also several snappers and stone crabs, and the most common ones in this pit are probably stone crabs. There are one or two in every stone crevice.

 But when we thought about the possibility of death in this pit, no one planned to pick it up even though there were a lot of seafood.

 At about ten o'clock in the evening, there were not many villagers watching, and the remaining ones were relatives of the missing children.

 In the end, even Li Duoyu’s diesel engine stopped working, and finally all the water in the pit was pumped out.

 Only the last half a meter deep is left.

 Lao Liao directly touched the puddle, but he did not touch the child.

Li Duoyu thinks it would be a good thing if the child is not in the pit.

 “But where has the child gone?”

Just when everyone was wondering where the child was, there was a small figure, tiptoeing, trying to sneak away from the rocks behind.

Li Duoyu happened to see it and shined a flashlight on it.

 The little figure froze in place after being illuminated by the flashlight.

When everyone saw him, they were all stunned. The child they had been looking for for a long time appeared alive in front of them, but his face looked a little pale.

 Jiao Fanglan, who had fainted from crying several times throughout the afternoon, recognized him instantly: "Xiaobao?"

When the child saw that everyone was looking at him, he knew that he had made a big mistake, so he ran away on the spot.

At this moment, class teacher Zhou Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "Xiaobao, stop right here."

 After hearing what the head teacher said.

 As expected, the child did not dare to move while standing.

The child's father rushed out of the puddle and picked up the child like a chicken.

Burned with anger, he directly picked up a stick as big as his thumb and took off the child's trousers.

 “I told you not to go to school.”

 “I’ll give you the skin.”

“A lot of us are looking for you, where can you hide?”

Every time he cursed, Liao Yongchang would give him a hard slap and forcefully break the stick. Still not relieved, he directly untied the belt around his waist.

The child, whose face was covered with tears and whose buttocks were bare, saw that his father continued to beat him, so he cried and hid behind his mother.

However, this time, his mother did not help him. Instead, she caught him in front of his father and directly joined forces to fight him.

Seeing how badly the students were beaten, Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "That's enough, that's almost enough."

Seeing the class teacher speaking for him, the child hugged the class teacher's thigh tightly.

 His parents dare not beat him.

 After Zhou Xiaoying’s questioning, everyone knew that Xiaobao had indeed fallen into the puddle.

 But he knows how to crawl a little bit.

But I didn’t dare to go back to pick up my schoolbag and shoes. Plus, I was soaked all over, so I ran to the secret base to dry my clothes.

I wanted to sleep at the secret base. I woke up the next day and went home. I didn't want to be cold and hungry. On the way back, he just saw that they were pumping pits.

Knowing that I had made a big mistake, I wanted to sneak home without thinking that I would be caught.

Seeing that Xiaobao had been hiding behind Zhou Xiaoying, Li Duoyu couldn't help but jokingly asked:

 “Xiaobao, have you found the peerless martial arts?”

 The child shook his head: "I didn't find it, but I found a few balloons in the secret base."

 “What kind of balloon, let me see it.”

Xiaobao took out the balloons from his pocket and said, "These balloons are so powerful. They can be blown up very big, but the smell is a bit smelly and very unpleasant."

 When the child took out the thing, the adults present were silent, and Zhou Xiaoying also blushed a little.

At this time, Shi Shi, who had just been bitten by a crab, was holding a long object and said to Li Duoyu.

“Brother Yu, I just found a treasure in the pit.”

Li Duoyu looked at it and saw that it was covered with barnacles layer after layer, but if you look carefully, you can see that it is indeed metal.

This shape seems to be similar to

 “Stone, just stand still.”

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he quickly pulled Zhou Xiaoying and the others back.

“Brother Yu, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with the thing I picked up?”

After arriving at a safe location, Li Duoyu couldn't help but cursed: "Are you stupid? You don't even know about bombs, but you still show them to me. You want to kill us."

 After hearing this.

 Stone's legs were a little weak: "Brother Yu, what should I do now?"

 “What else can I do? Just stand still.”
