Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

"Help! Help me!"

People immediately looked in the direction of the cries for help.

Two children stood beside a manhole cover, pointing anxiously into the well.

"Li Erbao fell in,"

At this moment, everyone rushed over and looked down.

All he could see under the manhole cover was silt, and he involuntarily frowned. (Wang Ma Zhao)

Although the well is not very deep, this abandoned drainage well has many discarded wooden planks lying across its middle, with only a small gap between them.

Through the gap, one could vaguely see a child, about five or six years old, covering their arm.

He also had blood on his head and was crying miserably inside; he was clearly injured.

At this point, the scene was completely chaotic.

"Quickly, find a ladder!"

"Get a rope,"

"This won't work, the rope can't go down."

............................................................

The villagers of Lijiazhuang and Liujiazhuang stopped arguing and focused solely on rescuing the child.

Perhaps this is the simplicity of rural people; they are still very kind-hearted.

Chapter 266 Rescuing People from the Well

Wu Mingcheng looked around the manhole cover and realized that basically none of the methods the villagers suggested were working.

He then said,

"Everyone, please calm down."

Then, he went to Wang Shouyi's side and said,

"Chief, the only option is for someone to go down into the well and pull the child out."

And looking at the gap inside, this person must be quite nimble.”

At this moment, the child's mother ran over, grabbed Wu Mingcheng's arm, and pleaded tearfully,

"Police officer Tongzhi, you must save my child! You must save my second child!"

Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng quickly comforted him,

"Don't worry, we will do our best. Please calm down first."

At this moment, Zhang Zhijie already had a rope tied around his waist, and Chen Xincheng and Cao Jianjun squeezed through from behind, pulling on the rope.

Li Dawei and Yang Shu, who were standing nearby, shouted to the villagers who had gathered around.

"Everyone, make way, let's save people first,"

Zhang Zhijie bravely tried to go down into the well, but Wang Shouyi grabbed him.

Wang Shouyi quickly replied.

"Zhijie, are you going down? Can you even squeeze in there?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhijie instantly became extremely disappointed.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xia Jie walked up to Wang Shouyi and volunteered, saying,

"Chief, let me go down. I should be able to crawl through. I'm relatively light, so it'll be easy to pull me up."

Wu Mingcheng immediately said,

"No, how about this, I'll try to rescue the child first,"

Xia Jie knew, of course, that Wu Mingcheng was concerned about her, and she tried to persuade him.

"Mingcheng, saving lives is the priority; we must act quickly and cannot afford to delay."

Besides, even Uncle Zhang's physique isn't suitable, so you're even less likely to fit in,"

Wu Mingcheng also knew that Xia Jie was actually the most suitable among them.

However, he wasn't used to having women fight on the front lines in front of him.

Xia Jie then turned to look at Wang Shouyi and said earnestly,

"Chief, let me go."

Wang Shouyi waved his hand subconsciously and said,

"There are so many of us, how can we let a little girl like you go down?"

However, when he looked up and saw Xia Jie's figure, he was stunned.

He didn't continue, clearly indicating that Wang Shouyi was also somewhat tempted.

Xia Jie saw through Wang Shouyi's thoughts and immediately said to Zhang Zhijie, who was standing beside her.

"Uncle Zhang, give me the rope,"

Wu Mingcheng took the rope from Zhang Zhijie's hand and carefully tied it around Xia Jie's waist, checking it repeatedly.

He instructed,

"Be careful. If you feel it's not working, just shake the rope and we'll pull you up."

Xia Jie nodded at Wu Mingcheng and said,

"Mingcheng, don't worry, I'll be careful,"

At this point, people no longer cared about the somewhat strange feeling the two of them had.

They watched as Xia Jie approached the well and carefully entered it.

At the wellhead, Wu Mingcheng was the first to pull on the rope, with Yang Shu, Li Dawei, Zhao Jiwei, and others behind him.

Everyone else at the scene nervously looked towards the bottom of the well.

Xia Jie was lowered down by Wu Mingcheng little by little, until they reached a place where clutter was scattered.

She was quite petite, so she easily slipped through the gap.

At this moment, she shouted loudly,

"Going further down,"

Wu Mingcheng led the people behind him forward half a step, then another half step forward.

Xia Jie finally reached the bottom of the well and carefully lifted the injured child inside.

She shouted to the crowd above,

 (bgfg) "It's ready,"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng quickly addressed Li Dawei and the others behind him.

"Everyone pull together, pull back!"

With everyone pulling together, Xia Jie and the child were successfully pulled up.

At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The child's mother hugged her child and cried loudly.

"Erbao, Erbao, Erbao, why are you so naughty? If something happens to you, how will your mother live?"

Ignoring the mud on her face, Xia Jie hurriedly gave instructions.

"Sister, please take the child to the hospital quickly!"

The child's mother then thanked Xia Jie profusely.

"Thank you, little girl, thank you so much!"

Xia Jie shook her head and said,

"Sister, you're welcome. It's what I should do."

Wu Mingcheng quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Xiaojie, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Xia Jie smiled sweetly, shook her head at him, and said...

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not hurt."

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng gave her a thumbs up and praised her.

"Xiao Jie, you're amazing! You're just as capable as any man!"

Seeing Xia Jie covered in mud, Wu Mingcheng quickly returned to the police car, grabbed a few bottles of mineral water, and walked over.

He opened a bottle of mineral water and then said,

"Alright, wash your hands,"
