After leaving Chenjia Village and standing at the big fork in the road between south, north, east, and west, I hesitated for a moment.
To the north was back to Chenjia Village, to the south was a small village that was part of the Chenjia Village collective, and a few miles to the west and I would have to pass through our Wujia Village again.
I don't want to pass by my own village again, and I don't want to pass by Chenjia Village again, all for fear of provoking sadness, so I turned to the east, and took a big step forward.
Yesterday night rain, wind cold, to now not good, the nose has been stuffed, two nostrils, a moment of the left side of the air, a moment of the right side of the air, tears have been falling, really his grandmother's difficult.
I've been exercising and haven't had a cold for years, but this sudden cold is really unbearable.
Head and limbs are a little heavy, but I rely on the young and strong, but also not very serious.
Colds are a disease for me, take medicine is also three days good, do not take medicine is still three days good, get through it will be fine.
In order to make the body sweat, I walk a while, run a while, so until noon, really tired and hungry, can not walk, only decided to find a restaurant to eat, by the way, rest feet.
I looked around, not far in front of the highway adjacent to two streets, a tall signposts written on three words: "Xing Sheng store".
I have heard of this place before, is the east and west road guests, especially large trucks, long-distance buses on the way to the rest of the place, the restaurant is especially many, especially here, the famous store "Fawanjia" to do the lamb soup, with fragrant sesame fennel pancakes, can be described as a masterpiece!
When I think of it, I am drooling, anyway, I have money in my pocket, and a lot of it, this time I have to have a good meal, as a kind of treat for my sick body.
Just go to Fat Wanjia, I was excited to go straight to the store, directly shouted a big bowl of mutton soup and two fennel cake, and then to ask for a gazpacho, half a catty of cooked beef, a bottle of wine,...... got a wind chill, appetite is not good, just eat so read it first.
After a windy meal, I was satisfied, the boss thumbs up, even said a few words: "the name is not false, the name is not false ......" paid the bill, out the door on the go.
A catty of white wine, in the usual, for me is nothing, but this time out of the store door, walked a few steps, was the wind pockets a blow, footsteps suddenly a little weak, the brain also has to read swelling.
"Grandma!" I cursed in my heart, originally wanted to drink read wine, sweat, on the treatment of wind-cold have read benefits, did not expect so, it seems that the condition is a little more serious.
No, have to find a place to lie down.
I looked around with eyes, not far south of a hillock, two slips of poplar trees neatly arranged, green, a river winding around the hillock, the water reflecting daylight, with sparkling ripples, very pleasant.
I immediately feel a lot better mood, go there to rest for a while.
Gang, is our side of the hilly land slope of the common name.
When I got there, I saw a group of little kids bathing and playing naked in the river.
I called out, "Hey, you guys! Why don't you go home and sleep in the middle of the day and play in the water? Don't you know there are ghosts in the middle of the day? They eat people! Catch the girls as noodles and the boys as buns!"
Several children are disdainful of me, I also feel that I have read drunk, laughed for a while, in the river under the trees on a piece of grass to lie down.
The river is not too hot, plus there are sunlight from the leafy cracks of the trees cast down, shining on the body, very comfortable, I was lying down again, the wine slightly on the head, a little sleepy, dazed and fell asleep.
I was awakened by a shout.
"Help!"
"Help!"
I was startled by the screams and woke up from my dream with a jolt, then with a carp, jumped up from the ground and rubbed my eyes to look around.
Just see the river, a little boy floating, is choking, hand constantly in the slap the water, mouth open and open, want to call, already is not call the sound.
Isn't this one of the group of children who were playing in the water when I came over to sleep in the afternoon?
At that time, when I said that they were not allowed to play in the water, they even scoffed at me, and at that time, it was as if this child was the one who looked at me with the most disdain in his eyes.
Nowadays, this is the movement to be drowned ah.
I did not dare to think too much, without saying a word, while darting toward his bearing, while taking off his shirt, to the river, and took off his shoes and pants, and then a leap, stuck into the water, and swam vigorously toward him.
I can swim, Yingshui passed through us, the most frequent thing to do in the summer, is to sneak to the river to bathe behind the back of adults, although not less beaten, but also did not drown, and ultimately is practiced a good skill underwater.
Only a few rows, I went to the side of the child, I do not dare to meet him to hold him, because I know, people in the drowning, choking the will to lose near death, is the most dangerous state, the will to survive so that they will not hesitate to grab any of the things that pass from them, even if it is a straw, will be desperate to grab, and then die without losing their hands!
Therefore, many people who went into the water to save others ended up drowning in the water, not because they were not good at water, but they were hardened and dragged to death by the people they were trying to save!
I wouldn't have been so stupid.
I originally wanted to walk to the child close to the time, a punch to completely knocked him out before saving, but on the verge, but afraid of the other party is a small child, and I am an adult, if the hand down is not light and heavy, the person really killed would not be good.
So, I took another measure, turned to swim to the back of the child, drilled down to the water, two hands holding his waist, upward music.
That way, he could get out of the water and breathe, and I wouldn't be in his death grip.
He couldn't make it from behind.
But just as I swam underwater and opened my eyes to look, I suddenly realized a face right in front of me!
A familiar face!
The face of the very child I was trying to save!
Both eyes were round and open, motionless underwater, staring straight at me.
A disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth, exactly the same as when Noon looked at me!
In an instant, I was scared out of my wits, desperately stomping my legs and floating upwards!
At the moment I came out of the water, I realized that the kid was floating, his head was on the surface!
The whole thing was no longer moving.
It wasn't that desperate struggle just now, it was completely death-like silence.
No, the way this kid looks, he should be really dead.
I couldn't help but shiver.
Whose face was the one I saw when I was underwater just now?
Could it be that I didn't see it clearly underwater, my mind short-circuited for a moment and I saw it wrong?
No way, I clearly saw it clearly just now!
It was this child's face!
I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't know whether it was water or cold sweat on my brain, dripping down my nose.
I wanted to swim ashore, but the boy was motionless, and I didn't know whether he was dead or not, so I couldn't bear to leave again.
After a moment's hesitation, I swam over to him again and nudged him with my hand.
He didn't move.
Not a single read of movement.
But behind his head, a face slowly appeared.
A blurry face that, to my startled eyes, grew clearer.
This face was not the face of the boy.
It was another face.
The face of an old woman!
Orange peel-like wrinkles crisscrossed across her face, her parched lips seemed like sun-dried jerky, and a pair of shadowy, creepy eyes, glittering with a spiteful, ghostly light, without blinking, just stabbed me straight in the face.
At this moment, my body is all soft, the whole person is almost sinking into the water.
"Uh......"
A sound that only comes out when you're being choked sounded!
An arm like a dry stick suddenly reached out towards me!
I snapped out of my shock, no longer caring about the boy, and swam desperately for the shore!
But, just then, a sharp pain shot up my leg and I couldn't stir the water!
Woe betide Grandma, I actually got a cramp at this point!
I shivered and reached for my leg, my whole body lost balance and gradually sank into the water.
I didn't panic, I absolutely couldn't panic at this time, with my wateriness, I could last at least three minutes underwater.
Three minutes, should be enough.
But I did not expect, when my whole person did not enter the underwater, a pair of cold hands, from my back to hold my waist, drag me to the underwater ......
