DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 12: THE CERBUNG RIVER GEGER

    Mentari had just appeared, spreading a thin fog in the Cerbung river. The community has started to move, doing their own work. The fishermen have started to tether the boat in the port of fish, lowering the fish catch. The farmers have been flocking across the rice fields. Farm owners have been stocking feed to feed their pet fish. Likewise, traders who have gone to the market to sell with various innate merchandise.

    But that morning, at the construction site of Cerbung Bridge, people crowded. People on the banks of the river. On the Cerbung River, where the bridge was to be built, three men were badly injured.

    "What's up ...?!" one of the passersby asked the people who were already crowding the bridge.

    "Some fell into the river" replied one of the crowd.

    "Certain ..., how is the person ...?!" ask the new person who came.

    "That's ..., being helped." replied the other.

    "Kok can fall into the river ...?" ask the guy again.

    "The people said, they were going to cross over the bamboo, and the bamboo was broken. That's why they fell into the river." said the others.

    "Pity .... They must have been seriously injured" said the other person.

    Meanwhile, downstairs, in the river where the bridge was to be built, the people were already on their way down to the bottom of the river, to help three men lying helpless. The people who came down to help quite a lot. Generally men, although there are also women who come down to the river. The three men who will be helped, they are the men who will rape Ms. Lan last night. Yes, the three men who were chasing after Cik Lan, who stepped on the bamboo resulted in the bamboo breaking and the people who passed over it fell into the river.

    "The wound is severe ...!" shouted one who was going to help the people who fell into the river.

    "Huh ...?! How is the condition ...?!" ask the others, who are already standing by the river.

    "This is a broken leg ...!" who saw and watched the other victims screamed, if the man he was going to help turned out to have a broken leg.

    "Walah ..., how's that going to be?" others asked in confusion to lift the victim.

    "Digotong use bamboo ..." said another.

    "That means that the bamboo angkong was made first ...?" ask the others.

    "Wear the sarong only, later entered bamboo to be carried. So there is no need to make angkong from bamboo." said another person who also gave a proposal.

    "Oh, yes .... Can .., it's more practical." replied another.

    "But who's sheath?" tanya who had proposed making bamboo angkong.

    "Lha it .... Borrow the citizens who wear the sarong ..." said the proposal while pointing at the residents who wear the sarong and watch there.

    "Yes, agree ...!" tell the others.

    Finally, the men at the bottom, in the river, helped three wounded men in the river. Someone opened the holster, someone helped lift the victim into the holster. Some also put pieces of bamboo into the holster. Then some people raised bamboo to be cut. While the people who did not take part in carrying, the crowd also gave the cues of the cutters who climbed the river bank. Of course, the people who were on the river immediately helped lift the bamboo that had a sheath and contained the men who fell into the river, who were carried from below and dragged it up.

    Finally, three men who fell into the river and suffered severe injuries can be raised to the top. It's been laid on the side of the road.

    "When taken to the hospital ...!" shouted the person who was helping from below.

    "Wait for the car Mr. Mandor to come ...!" answer the person above.

    Of course, the people who watched immediately shrouded the three people lying groaned in pain. They want to know what the injury is like. But clearly, the people who swarmed wanted to know who was the one who fell into the river.

    "Who fell into the river?" ask one of the mothers who would want to know the wretched person.

    "Do not know .... I don't know ..." replied the person who had already observed his face.

    "Hadn ...! Which people they are .... What is his name .... Where is the home .... Let his family be told." said the people who were there.

    "Yes, let's ask for the name and address ...!" the other sahut.

    "Mas ..., what's your name? Where's your house?" ask the woman who is close to the man who has been lying down.

    "Ow .... Ouch ..." the man did not answer, only able to complain of pain.

    "God .... These people are in great pain. Unable to answer ..." said the questioner.

    "Yes, it's true that he's in pain .... This one broke his leg, this one all over his body blood-soaked wounds. Lhah, this one has no wound, but half fainted. He was helpless" said the person who had observed, even touched and examined the limp men lying around.

    Incidentally, the construction workers had already started arriving. Mr. Mandor has also come with a pick-up car ride. Once they saw the people crowding in the construction of the bridge, of course they were shocked and confused.

    "There are people falling into the river .." replied one of the witnesses.

    "Huh ...?! Where is the person ...?!" ask Mr. Mandor.

    "That ...! The one the man was in contact with ...!" sahut who answered while showing the place of the person who had been laid on the roadside.

    Mr. Mandor went straight to the crowd. He wanted to know the person who fell into the river.

    "There is Mr. Mandor .... Mr. Mandor came ..." said one of the workers who had joined the crowd of people who were laying down.

    "Pak Mandor ..., some fell into the river .." said another worker, who had also gathered.

    "When did it happen?!" ask Mr. Mandor.

    "No idea, sir .... We have come to be helped by the people being lifted into the street." replied the worker who had come first.

    "Who is the one who fell into the river? Workers or citizens here ...?!" ask Mr. Mandor.

    "Three people, sir .." said the worker again.

    "Lha yes ..., what is her name ...?!" ask the Mandor again.

    "Bonjot .., Minyun .., same one more person I don't know. Don't work here." said the worker who knew exactly that the people who fell into the river were the construction workers on the bridge.

    "Waduh ...!! What's bad ...?!" ask Mr. Mandor.

    "Cerious, Sir .... Should be taken to the hospital first ..." replied another worker who has more and more come to flock his friend who was injured because he fell into the river.

    "Bonjot broke his leg .... Minyun was severely injured, his entire body was bleeding, his head was also bleeding. The other one seemed unharmed, but was even helpless, half unconscious. Maybe a deep wound, Mr. Mandor ..." said the worker who had seen the situation of his friend.

    "Yes already, then quickly we take it to the hospital, let's get treatment immediately. Come on, quickly get in the car" said Mr. Mandor told his men.

    "Ready, Mr. Mandor ..." replied the workers, who instantly raised three people helplessly and could only moan the pain into the rear tub of the pick-up car driven by Mr. Mandor.

    "Greeeng .... Din ..., din ..." the pick-up car carrying the three injured people drove straight towards Tuban City. Towards the hospital. In the rear tub, in addition to the three seriously injured people, there were two workers who were guarding. While Mr. Mandor drove his car, which was accompanied by another worker who sat to the left of Mr. Mandor. The car was moving fast. Some workers follow by riding a motorcycle, chatting with friends.

    People who witnessed the incident, look away to see the car Mr. Mandor speeding. Then, one by one the people who crowded had left the bridge building. Of course to continue his activities back. Some continue their work in the fields, in the fields, and to other places in accordance with their respective work. Especially women, who will certainly soon enter the kitchen to prepare food for their families. Of course they will tell what they just saw, the incident of the workers who fell under the bridge. Surely later in the story will be peppered in their own way.

    Until finally, there are only a few people who are still in the construction of the bridge. Must still be talking about the victims who fell into the river. Various speculations began to emerge. But clearly, the people who fell were caused by broken bamboo. Certainly while pointing at the broken bamboo, as well as the position where the fall of the people was. They are still trying to observe the scene of the mysterious case.

    "Lhhh .... That's what ...?!"

    Suddenly one of the residents who was still in the construction of the bridge pointed to something, to the north a little far from the bridge.

    "Where ...?!" ask the others.

    "That's ...!!" replied the person who was looking, while again pointing in the direction that was seen.

    "Cock like a person ...?! May it also be the victim who fell ...?!" answer the others, after participating in observing the goods appointed by his friend.

    "Yes .... Looks like people are lying ..." said another.

    "Let's see .... Let's get closer ..." The others draw closer to the figure he sees.

    Eventually about five people descended back into the river, approaching what he saw. Some were still on the road, waiting for his friend who assured his vision.

    "Hhhh ...!! Man ...!! Women ...!! There are more victims ...!! The woman who fell, has been carried away by the current until here ...!!" yelled at the people who came to the place.

    "What ...?! There are more victims ...?!" ask the people who are still standing on the side of the road.

    "Yes, right ...!!! Beautiful woman ...!! Already powerless ...!!!"

    "Come, please help to lift it up ....!!!" people in the river were screaming for help.

    "There are more victims ...!!! Women ...!!!" people were screaming right away.

    The screams echoed throughout the village. Spontaneously, the people who had just turned around left the scene, they immediately came again to see the events that occurred. Yes, there are women who also fell to the bottom of the river, but have been carried away by the current to a place a little far from the bridge construction site. That woman was none other than Ms. Lan.
