Got out of trouble

  Got out of trouble

  She had previously heard a human voice, but after thinking about it, the reason why no one could be seen in that place was probably because someone had already fallen into the manhole cover that had been stolen and fainted to death, poor kid.

  Yesterday, when she went to work during the day, she inadvertently glanced at it. Because the cover was stolen, someone unknowingly found a wooden board and barely covered it. The residents of their alley can walk freely with their eyes closed and naturally won't step on it.

  That man who was called a lifesaver, she didn't know how he fell down, but she knew that if he stayed there for the whole night, even if he didn't die, he would lose half his life. If the water rose again, basically he could only go to play drift in the nearby Min River.

  Saving one life is better than building a seven-story Buddha hall. However, as I walked to that place, except for the sound of wind and rain, all around was silent.

  Xia Jianing didn't dare to take a peek, so she picked up a small stone from the side and threw it down. One second later, a painful cry of "Ah yo ma" was heard. She slightly pursed her lips, as long as he's alive, it's easy to deal with him.

  "Hey, don't worry, I'll pull you up." She shone the flashlight into the hole and indeed there was someone inside, a man.

  She slowly lowered the hemp rope down, and the man didn't say a word, only tightly grasping it.

  Xia Jianing decisively threw away the umbrella, tied the hemp rope to a pillar not far away, and finally pulled the person up with all her might. She was so exhausted that she sat down on the ground with a thud, and this bath was completely wasted.

  "Thank you." The man leaned against the wall, one hand covering his chest, panting heavily. The night was deep and dark, and she couldn't shine her flashlight directly on him, so they were very close, but she couldn't see his face clearly, only that he had a tall and straight figure.

  "Hey, you're not from Jiangnan Alley, are you? How did you end up down here and how long have you been stuck?" Xia Jianing asked while untying the rope.

  "I came to find a rental house, it rained and I thought of taking shelter under the eaves by the wall. It was dark and I couldn't see, one foot stepped on the wooden board, the board flipped over and that's how I fell."

  The man's voice was a little low and hoarse, but it sounded very good. Xia Jia'ning had a roommate from Beijing in college, so she could tell that this was a very authentic Beijing accent.

  "That poor kid, hopefully didn't get hurt, this hole is quite deep. Fortunately the water isn't deep inside, it's just a bit smelly." Xia Jianing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "It's okay, just sprained my foot when I fell down and got rained on for a while. But the worst thing is that some heartless person threw a stone into the cave earlier, which happened to hit me right on the head, and it seems like I'm bleeding."

  "Ah, maybe it was when the stray cat was fighting and accidentally got in. Otherwise, come with me to apply some hemostatic powder, my family's medicine is very effective."

  Xia Jianing's face flashed a hint of panic before quickly returning to calm, she was actually quite afraid of trouble, this man clearly knew that the stone was thrown by her but still deliberately said so, obviously blaming her.
