Chapter 73 Big Harvest (Page 12)
It is the summer harvest season, and this is the most exciting event at the moment. Almost all newspapers are reporting relevant news, and Sijiu City Life Newspaper is no exception.
During this period, in order to obtain more news materials, many reporters from the entire newspaper were sent out, just to be able to go deep into the front lines of the summer harvest and grasp the most authentic first-hand news.
Journalists these days are still very attitudinal and cannot catch rumors and hearsay. In addition, the entire social atmosphere is biased towards pragmatism, so it is still very common to go out to collect news and go among the masses.
Feng Baolin, the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, also led a team to the countryside this time. There were more than a dozen people in the team, but they were scattered among several communes.
The Jinjin Commune side is composed of Feng Baolin himself, plus official reporter Fu Hongxia and intern reporter Tao Xiaoye who just graduated this year and entered the newspaper office.
Originally, today they were working hard on the threshing floor with the villagers, experiencing first-hand the hardships of the farmer brothers.
But I didn't expect that a child fell into the water. Moreover, this incident had many twists and turns. No one expected that it would develop to this situation.
Although he felt sorry for Comrade Xiang Yunduan, as the dignified deputy editor-in-chief, Feng Baolin was keenly aware of the "explosive point" of this matter. If done properly, this matter could bring huge benefits to the newspaper. attention, and even enhance the influence of the entire newspaper.
There are too many newspapers that pay attention to the summer harvest. Although everyone works hard, the content of the reports is the same. And to be honest, these things happen every year, and there is nothing new in what everyone reads.
But the matter with Xiang Yunduan is different.
There are at least three points worth exploring.
First, starting with children falling into the water, we can focus on popularizing the dangers of wild swimming in summer. After all, in the face of hot weather, many people are willing to cool down by swimming. Not only children, but even adults have died because of this. It happens all the time.
Second, let’s start with Xiang Yun Duan’s bravery. Needless to say, let’s talk about the shining points of human nature, but most importantly, bring up a hugely controversial topic: using the life of this young man, Xiang Yun Duan. Is it worth exchanging the lives of three children?
Third, what is that huge shadow under the water? Although topics such as "water monsters" and "water ghosts" cannot be discussed openly, we can use side descriptions to let the public figure it out for themselves. The newspaper can completely report this matter from the standpoint of "getting closer to science".
With such a "three-axe" cut, we can continue to track the registration for at least half a month. After half a month, many people who did not read the Sijiucheng Life Newspaper may start paying attention to this newspaper in the future.
The more Feng Baolin thought about it, the more excited he became. If there were not villagers around, he would have almost taken out the notebook and pen in his breast pocket and started writing.
"Xiao Wuzi, you go back to Old Ma Tou immediately and ask him to get on the boat and come over. Also, remember to bring more harpoons and fishing nets."
Of course the villagers didn't know what Feng Baolin was thinking. Wu Qingya, the captain of the second team, suddenly said to a young man next to him, and then turned to look at everyone: "Villagers, Comrade Xiang was unfortunately killed trying to save our children. We We cannot let Comrade Xiang's body not be recovered in the end. In that case, we will have no way to explain to Comrade Xiang's family.
I'm going to go into the lake to explore. No matter what, I must find Comrade Xiang's body!
But this matter is very dangerous, so I don't order anyone, everyone decides for themselves whether they want to come with me or not! "
After such a long time, everyone has basically concluded that Comrade Xiang Yunduan was killed. After all, although they did not see clearly what the huge black shadow underwater was, it was a fact that Xiang Yunduan was dragged into the water by that thing.
Even without that black shadow, it would be impossible for a person to survive entering the lake without taking a breath for such a long time.
"I go!"
A man stood up and said with a firm face: "Comrade Xiang saved our big brother, at this time, do I have to pretend to be dumb?"
"And I!"
"Count me in!"
"Let's go together, there are so many people, we will definitely scare away that thing in the lake!"
……
Soon, under Wu Qingya's gaze, one villager after another stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.
Feng Baolin looked at the scene in front of him and felt that this was another "explosive point" worth digging into. Such a choice that tortures human nature, no matter what the final result, is worthy of reporting.
But soon, Feng Baolin's plan fell through.
"Look there, what's going on?"
Suddenly, a villager closest to the lake screamed.
When everyone was called by him, their attention was immediately attracted, and then they saw that about four or five meters away from the shore, the lake water seemed to be boiling. It was churning, and ripples spread in circles. .
"Is it Comrade Xiang?"
I don’t know who said something, and everyone was extremely nervous, holding their breath and staring at the lake.
Comrade Tao Xiaoye, an intern reporter, immediately grabbed the camera and held it in front of his eyes, quietly waiting for the moment to be captured.
This anomaly did not last long.
"Wow!"
There was a loud noise, and the lake water turned into white waves. In the center of the turbulence, a large dark blue fish nearly two meters long rushed out of the water and stabbed into the air.
"Crack!"
Subconsciously, Comrade Tao Xiaoye clicked the shutter button. After reacting, she discovered that the dark blue fish actually carried a figure of about the same length on its back.
Perhaps it shouldn't be described as "back". To be more precise, it should be more appropriate to say that the figure is entrenched on the fish.
"Oh!"
The villagers who were just about to go into the water to look for Xiang Yunduan's body saw this scene and all exclaimed.
One is to marvel that there is such a big fish in the lake, and the other is to marvel that Xiang Yunduan is still alive.
"It turns out to be a big fish, hurry up and call Lao Ma Tou over!" Wu Qingya urged Xiao Wuzi again.
It's a fish, not some water ghost or water monster!
This made everyone sigh in relief.
Although I have never seen such a big fish before, as long as it is a fish, all the worries in my heart disappear, but it makes people feel eager to try.
"Pong!"
The big herring and Xiang Yunduan hit the water surface together, making a huge noise, and the surrounding water waves were stirred up to a height of more than one meter.
"Just wait until you get out of the frying pan!"
Xiang Yunduan finally took a breath and suddenly felt refreshed.
Now the offense and defense are different.
The big herring kept struggling in the water, but Xiang Yunduan grabbed its gills with both hands and clamped its belly tightly with his legs. It couldn't get rid of it at all and could only keep rolling back and forth.
"Struggle, see how long you can hold on!"
Xiang Yunduan already has a chance of victory in his heart.
Fish are cold-blooded animals, and have more white muscles than red muscles, so generally speaking, fish have strong explosive power, but their endurance, that is, endurance is not high, which is why fish usually slip away when fishing.
