MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor-Chapter 1062 Falling into the ice cave and committing evil acts
Chapter 1062 Falling into the ice cave and committing evil acts
Being rejected by three brats at the same time, Wang Cai had a bad look on his face. He pointed at Zhen'er and cursed: "Isn't it just that there are a few filthy rich people in the family? How dare you look down on me? What's so great about you?"
"My family has a lot of bad money, but unfortunately your family doesn't even have a few bad money, so what's so great about you that I can afford you?" Zhen'er has been studying for two years, and her temperament has become much calmer. His face didn't change even after hearing Wang Cai's words, and he poked Wang Cai's pain points with his words.
"What did you say? Say it again, I!" Wang Cai was furious when he was looked down upon and raised his fist towards Zhen'er.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhao quickly stood in front of Zhen'er and said with a cold face: "Wang Cai, if your fist dares to fall, I guarantee that your family will never want to stay in Liuyang Village again."
When Wang Cai heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately cursed: "You are an unknown bastard, what qualifications do you have to threaten me? If you dare to speak to me like this again, I will beat you up too!"
Other children playing here soon noticed the movement. An older child saw Wang Cai raising his fists with a ferocious expression, and rushed over to stop him: "Wang Cai, what do you want to do? Do you want to hit someone? ?”
“Hmph, you don’t have to worry about my business, get out of my way!” Wang Cai pushed the child away hard to stop him and kicked him hard.
In fact, what Wang Cai wanted to beat up Zhen'er and Yun Zhao most was to avenge the old and new grudges of the past few years, but he knew that the Mo family definitely had the ability to drive their family out of Liuyang Village. He might even end up in jail, so he didn't dare to take action against Zhen'er and Yun Zhao. He only dared to vent his anger on another innocent person.
"Wang Cai, stop!" Seeing that Wang Cai was about to kick him a second time, Zhen'er pushed Yun Zhao away and rushed to stop him: "If you dare to touch him again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Wang Cai pulled back his feet, looked at Zhen'er, who was two heads shorter than him, and said disdainfully: "Are you rude to me? I want to see how you can be rude!"
Zhen'er ignored Wang Cai and walked over to help up the child who had just been kicked to the ground. She was relieved to see that he was okay.
Wang Cai was very dissatisfied at being ignored, but he couldn't afford to offend Zhen'er or the Mo family, and he was worried about being settled by Qiu Hou, so he shouted loudly at the children who were surrounding him: "Come to judge, I think they are dissatisfied It’s not fun here, so I’m kind enough to take them to a fun place, but they don’t appreciate it, and they say some nasty things, so tell me, can you not be angry if this matter is thrown at you?”
Most of the children present were around ten years old, with the youngest only five or six years old. They had no ability to distinguish right from wrong. Seeing Wang Cai say this, they subconsciously looked at Zhen'er and the others with suspicion in their eyes.
Zhen'er and Yun Zhao were extremely disgusted with Wang Cai who had beaten him up. The two brothers looked at each other and were about to say a few words of defense. Danzi, who had witnessed the whole process, stood up very righteously, pointed at Wang Cai and said to his friends: "Don't be deceived by him. He was the first to be cruel to Zhen'er, and then Zhen'er fought back. He is the evil person who complained first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the children all stared at Wang Cai. Compared to Wang Cai, who has a "criminal record", they are certainly willing to believe the words of their friends who often play with them.
“Huh? So that’s it, I was almost deceived by Wang Cai.”
“Wang Cai is really bad, just like his mother, not a good person.”
“Let’s stay away from him in the future. My mother won’t let me play with their brothers. She’s worried about being led astray by them.”
“Well, my mother said so too.”
…”
The children were talking a lot, and their hatred of Wang Cai rose to a new level. They spoke their true thoughts without restraint, without any idea of how much impact these words would have on Wang Cai.
His fists hidden under his ragged cotton-padded jacket were clenched tightly, and Wang Cai's hostile gaze swept over the children who were talking about him one by one, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Zhen'er and Yun Zhao looked at Wang Cai warily. Just when they thought Wang Cai would hit someone, Wang Cai suddenly laughed, pointed at the Xiaoqing River not far away and said, "The ice there is bigger and thicker. It will definitely be more fun and exciting to run on it, don’t you want to go and see it?”
No one expected that Wang Cai's painting style would change so quickly. Zhen'er and Yun Zhao felt something was wrong and said in unison: "You can't go there, it's dangerous!"
The water in Xiaoqing River can be deep or shallow. The depth can submerge a ten-foot-long bamboo pole, and the diving place can barely reach the ankle. In winter, the amount of water becomes less, and the river flows very slowly and freezes easily. In addition, the temperature in these days is extremely low, and the ice formed on the first day cannot melt the next day. After accumulating for several days, the entire river bed is frozen solid. , it does look like a good place for skating.
However, the deep water is not frozen solid. If you accidentally slip there, the ice will break and you will easily fall in. Even those who know how to swim will be trapped in the water by the ice and unable to climb out.
Therefore, every winter, no matter how thick the ice in the Xiaoqing River is, adults strictly prohibit children from going down to the river to play, for fear that the children will fall into the ice cave if they are playful.
Zhen'er and Yun Zhao's loud shouts reminded many excited children of their adults' words, and they all stopped talking and did not dare to talk about going skating on Xiaoqing River.
When Wang Cai saw this, he secretly resented it and couldn't help but ridiculed: "Look at the bears you look like, you are all eggless bastards! I go to Xiaoqing River every day and never fall in. You are the only ones who don't have much." Is this little brat heavier than me and can break the ice?"
There are several teenage children who are already full of yearning for skating in Xiaoqinghe. They also feel that they are already men and should not be timid in doing things. If they hadn't given repeated orders from their families, they would be worried that they would be discovered by their families and beaten if they went to play secretly. I've already gone to play.
Now that Wang Cai was aroused, he suddenly became angry and cursed at Wang Cai: "You are the coward. Your whole family is a coward. Who said we don't dare to do it?"
Wang Cai pointed at the children and sneered: "If you dare, why don't you come with me?"
Being pointed at by him, several children couldn't bear it even more. One of them jumped out with a red face and said: "Go, whoever is afraid of you!"
Wang Cai was dissatisfied and continued to stimulate: "It's no use just going there, you have to go down the river and skate on the ice, otherwise you will be eggless cowards!"
“Just run away, whoever doesn’t slip away is a **** and a coward!” The children were completely angered and agreed immediately.
Zhen'er didn't expect that things would turn out like this in a short period of time. Seeing that those children really wanted to follow Wang Cai to Xiaoqing River for skating, he quickly stood up and stopped them: "Don't go, it's too dangerous."
However, several children were determined to go, and with Wang Cai fanning the flames, no one was willing to listen to him! In this way, they carried the skateboard and went to Xiaoqing River with Wang Cai regardless of the obstruction of their friends.
When passing by Zhen'er, Wang Cai turned around, glanced at Zhen'er with disdain, gestured with the word "coward" with his mouth, and walked away with a proud look on his face.
The children who were taken away by Wang Cai were originally the kings of children. When they were not in class, they often took other children up the mountain to catch birds and down the river to catch fish. The remaining children followed suit one after another because they only wanted to watch the fun and not go down to the river. Only Zhen'er, Yun Zhao, Dan Zi and the child kicked over by Wang Cai were left.
"Brother Zhao, what should we do now?" Zhen'er was worried and wanted to follow him to have a look, but also felt that he couldn't help at all if something happened, so he hesitated for a while.
Yun Zhao thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to the village and tell their parents about this, so that their parents can come and take them back."
Zhen'er's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to nod, Danzi beside him said, "It's better not to call me sir, otherwise they will blame us later."
"Yeah, if I hadn't been beaten by Wang Cai just now, I would have gone with him. If anyone snitched on my parents, I would have hated him to death. Besides, even if I went to play, something might not really happen. Yesterday I also saw a few adults walking from the ice to the other side." Another child echoed, covering his buttocks.
Zhen'er and Yun Zhao were immediately confused when they heard this.
Danzi rolled his eyes and suggested, "Wouldn't it be great if we also go over there and take a look and remind them not to go deeper?"
Zhen'er and Yun Zhao didn't want to cause any resentment, so they felt that Danzi's idea was quite reliable, so they agreed after hesitating for a long time.
By the time the four of them hurried to Xiaoqing River, many brave children had already gone down to the river to play on the ice. The timid ones stood on the river bank and watched, their young faces full of eagerness to try.
"Mo Zhen, come down and play, it's so fun here!" Seeing the four people coming over, a child who was having fun playing on the ice shouted loudly, and his voice carried far across the empty ice. So far.
Zhen'er looked at the wide frozen river surface, and it was a lie that he didn't want to go down to play, but the unknown danger made him restrain this thought, and said to the friend who called him: "I won't go down, you also pay attention Hey, don't slip into the deep water."
"Don't worry, wherever it is deep or shallow, we are clear and won't run around." Seeing Zhen'er's unwillingness, the child did not force him, but heeded the advice and agreed not to go deep.
"Humph, you are a coward. Let's play with ourselves. What's there to say to this coward?" Wang Cai said sarcastically, his words full of disdain for Zhen'er.
The child ignored him and took the two friends on the skateboard to another place.
"Bah, you little brat!" Wang Cai spat harshly after being ignored again, and glanced at Zhen'er from afar, with a strange sinister smile on his face.
The Xiaoqing River is not polluted, and the shallow water reaches the bottom. Even if it freezes, you can clearly see the sand and gravel below through the ice. If you stamp on it hard, there will be no cracks in the ice. Even if you hit it hard with sharp stones, you can only leave shallow traces. It is obvious that the shallow ice layer has frozen solid to the bottom of the river.
More and more children could not resist the temptation and went down to the river with roller skates to play. There were more and more people on the ice, and the laughter spread far and wide.
In order to prevent being discovered by the adults in the village, Wang Cai deliberately chose the skating place farther away from the village. Even if adults nearby heard the noise and came over, they would still have the opportunity to "escape" in advance. As long as they refused to admit it, the adults at home would also take it. There is nothing they can do.
In the end, even Danzi and the others went into the river, leaving only the helpless Zhen'er and Yun Zhao on the bank. Fortunately, the older children knew the rules and did not go too far, and they could restrain the other ignorant children, otherwise they would have run home early and called the adults over.
The sun is rising higher and higher. The children who have been playing for an hour do not feel tired at all, or are worried that they will not have the chance to play on the glacier again in the future. They simply hold on to the idea of enjoying enough and play happily.
At this time, Wang Cai came to the older children who had followed him and said seductively: "It's not interesting for us to just play like this. Why don't we have something exciting? What do you think?"
Which half-grown boy doesn’t like adventure and excitement? Seeing Wang Cai ask this, someone immediately asked: "What kind of excitement? Say it quickly!"
Wang Cai smiled proudly and pointed to the ice not far away and said: "It's very simple. Let's slide the skate there. As long as he can slide back again, he will win. Let's each bet him a peanut candy."
At the mention of peanut candy, several children slobbered unconsciously, but did not lose their minds: "No, the water there must not be frozen solid. If we fall in, we will only drown. It is too dangerous."
The remaining few did not speak. Although they wanted to give it a try, their reason told them not to do so.
"Hey, I thought you were a little brave, but I didn't expect you to be so brave. Go, go, you guys step aside and I'll play by myself." Wang Cai looked at several people with disdain and pushed them away in front of him. The child walked towards the deep water.
This move not only caught the eyes of several older children, but also other children nearby. They stopped playing and stared at Wang Cai closely, and saw Wang Cai carefully walking across the ice in the deep water. , laughed triumphantly at them, then walked back boldly, and even jumped on the ice, but nothing happened at all.
This scene was really exciting and touched the hearts of many children.
Wang Cai walked over in a swaggering manner and laughed at them: "It's not dangerous at all, you courageous bastards!"
The child who had refused to go turned red in the face and shouted angrily: "Didn't you just pass it once? What's the big deal? I'll go and show you now."
As he said that, he ran towards the ice that Wang Cai had just walked on. He jumped up **** the ice that was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, and fell down again. The force was obviously stronger than Wang Cai's. The same thing happened. nothing.
When the child came back, he immediately received a lot of admiring looks. The remaining older children no longer hesitated and rushed over for excitement. By the end, even five- and six-year-old children ran to play one after another.
As early as when the first eldest child ran off to take risks, Zhen'er and Yun Zhao, who were still on the shore, couldn't stay any longer and ran to the glacier one after another to dissuade the children, but no one was willing to listen to them.
Every time a child rushed over, the brothers' hearts were high, and they didn't feel relieved until the child returned to the shallow water safely. These children had all played with them. If something happened in front of them, they would be as sad as anyone else.
Seeing the children running over and back one by one, the atmosphere gradually became less tense. It was a competition to see who could jump higher. Some even suggested finding a deeper place to try.
However, the danger often lies in an inadvertent moment. When a frightened scream mixed with the sound of breaking ice and falling into the water reaches everyone's ears, everything is too late.
“Hurry up, don’t let go, we’ll rescue you right away!” Yun Zhao was the first to react and shouted to the child who fell into the water.
The moment the child fell into the water, he subconsciously grabbed the broken ice. However, the ice was so slippery that the little child could hardly hold on. He shouted "Help" while flopping in the water.
“Ah~ fell into the water, someone fell into the water—”
“Quick, hurry up and call for the master, hurry up and call for the master~”
…”
The children who were shocked by this scene woke up from a dream and screamed in fright. A few suppressed their fear and hurriedly ran ashore towards the village, crying and shouting "Help" as they ran, hoping that adults nearby could hear them and come to rescue them quickly.
The remaining timid children were frightened and cried. They looked helplessly at their struggling friends. They wanted to rush over to save them but didn't dare. They could only stand there and cry loudly.
"Brother Zhao, I'm lighter than you, I'll go." Seeing that the edge of the ice grabbed by the fallen child showed signs of breaking, and couldn't wait for the adults to come over, Yun Zhao felt anxious and was about to go over, but was stopped by Zhen Zhen The son held on.
“No, you are not as strong as me, so it would be more appropriate for me to rescue you.” Yun Zhao refused and signaled for his brother to let go.
Zhen'er shook his head and said stubbornly: "I am lighter than you, and it is unlikely that I will break the broken ice. My eldest sister once told me a story about a child who saved another child who fell into the ice water. I know what to do. How to save people, you let me go."
After saying that, without waiting for Yun Zhao to stop him, Zhen'er had already let go of his hand and walked quickly towards the child who fell into the water. When he reached the deep ice layer, he squatted down and carefully lay on the ice. He was almost unable to support himself. The child said: "Don't worry, I will come to save you right now. Don't let go."
The child who fell into the water was on the verge of despair. When he saw Zhen'er slowly crawling towards him, he seemed to see hope of survival. As expected, he obeyed and stopped struggling and clung to the edge of the ice with all his strength.
Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yun Zhao, who was about to imitate him and crawl over on the ice: "Brother Zhao, let them come here like you. Later you hold my feet and let them come again." They pull your feet so that one by one they can pull the person up."
Hearing this, Yun Zhao didn't dare to delay and quickly told the older children what Zhen'er meant.
Upon hearing this, the children wiped their tears with their sleeves and followed Yun Zhao's instructions and cautiously came forward.
By this time, Zhen'er had climbed to the ice break and successfully grabbed the hand of the child who had fallen into the water, which was as cold as ice...
When I was a child, there was a pond in the village that was very thick with disease, and many children were playing on it. As a result, the ice was thinner in the deep water, and some children fell in. Fortunately, there were adults on the shore watching at the time, and they quickly jumped in. He smashed the ice to save someone, but the child was safe and sound.
In the past, things like this often happened in rural areas. A child fell in and drowned. He waited until the ice melted before floating up. Alas~
