Recently, when I came home, I heard that three more students were drowned in the reservoir near my hometown. I remembered an incident last year.

  Last year, the reservoir was repaired and the flood was released. The water level of the entire lake was very low, and the deepest part was only three or four meters. There was a digger owner working at the construction site, and his son worked with his father.

  Because there is little water, there are many people fishing, day and night.

  According to the aunt who cooked for the construction unit, the night before the accident, the son of the excavator owner became very anxious. When everyone sat around the TV and watched TV, he always dangled in front, making everyone almost unable to watch.

  Normally, he never touched alcohol and kept clamoring for beer, because he was far away from the shop, so no one went to buy it. So he kept drinking mineral water (many bottles) and kept complaining - it was said that he was usually a very quiet person, and it could even be said that he was relatively introverted and wooden.

  The next day, the boy's cousin also came to the reservoir to play. It was midsummer, so his cousin suggested swimming.

  Cousin went into the water first. He was a good swimmer and swam more than ten meters away at once. The boy then jumped into the water from a protruding mound of more than one meter. With one jump, his feet were inserted into the mud and he never got up again.

The strange incident of drowning people in the reservoir

  It is normal for people to drown in the reservoir, but what people don't understand is that the water was about two meters deep in the place where the accident happened at that time. I jumped from a height of more than one meter and couldn't pull my feet out of the mud. It was really strange-when I was a child, I jumped from a height of three or four meters to a depth of two or three meters, and my feet couldn't touch the bottom very often.

  What makes people even sadder is that at that time, someone fished three or four meters away from where he jumped. Supposedly, even if his feet were stuck in the mud, for a swimmer, he would definitely struggle. There would be some movement. It is strange that his cousin didn't see him back and swam back to find him, but he didn't find it and didn't find the right place.

  When he finally fished it up, he was found to be less than one meter away from the shore.

  After the May Day, six junior high school students rowed in the reservoir (the reservoir was filled with water this year, and the water level was very high). Accidentally, the boat overturned and all six fell into the water. Fortunately, some people were fishing nearby. The fishermen swam over (a few) and rescued three.

  A girl who couldn't swim at all actually floated on the surface of the water and didn't sink. She waited until the angler swam to her side. However, the other boys who could swim all sank into the water (they should have struggled for a long time).

  Life is sometimes really hard to say. Many people who should not die according to the principle just died, just like the men and boys who drowned last year. Some people, however, can create incomprehensible miracles in desperate situations, just like the girl who fell into the water but did not sink this year.

  The boy who drowned last year had all kinds of abnormal conditions before his death. Was it his subconscious premonition, or was it a hint from heaven that he did not understand?

  The passing of lives one by one makes the living more confused and awed by fate.
