Small Town Rebirth: Starting From Birth

On the internet, people often commemorate their childhoods. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town who was one of them, found himself back 24 years ago, in the small town of his birth, after his ...

Chapter 234 Life is Precious

After a moment, the kind-hearted Master Chen patted the head of the little maid behind him, Shang Yunmiao, and said, "Let's go. Your master is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer. Let's leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, he prepared to turn the steering wheel and drive away.

Just then, the genuinely kind maidservant pulled back the feigningly kind Master Chen, saying, "How can you do this? Someone needs help!"

"Uh... well, I'm just worried they're bad guys and might hurt you."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao revealed her two small tiger teeth and smiled gently.

"It doesn't matter if he's a bad guy, because Chen Bing will protect me." The girl's expression was very sincere, and it was clear that she really trusted Chen Bing, to the point of blind worship.

Tell me, who could possibly trust a super cute 14 or 15-year-old girl next door so much?

Chen Bing was immediately filled with excitement, as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

Yes, I've been working out since I was a few years old, and that's how I got to this point! Now, while I might not be able to take on ten guys like Master Ye, teaching four or five malnourished young men a lesson is a piece of cake.

Besides, this is a school; there's no danger here. Even if there were, a few steps and a shout would bring the security guards and teachers over.

So, go ahead and watch the show! If there are any bad guys, just watch how I handle it. I'll leave a lasting impression on Xiao Shang, making her admire me even more.

After thinking it over, Chen Bing was eager to try. She put down the tram, took Xiao Shang's hand, and walked towards the direction where he was whispering "help".

As the two drew closer to the source of the sound, the surrounding environment grew increasingly eerie. The area was a small open space behind the school playground, enclosed by two tall walls. Wild grass and shrubs grew rampantly within it. Although winter was approaching, the weeds were merely withered and yellow, stubbornly standing on the dry earth.

Because of these weeds, Chen Bing and his girlfriend couldn't see what was actually inside the bushes.

To be on the safe side, Chen Bing turned on his phone's flashlight, scanned the surroundings, and after confirming it was safe, told Xiao Shang to stand there and wait while he went to scout out the situation.

Knowing that he would only be a burden if he followed, Xiao Shang nodded heavily and agreed.

"Be careful." Shang Yunmiao, who was beginning to regret coming here with Chen Bing, grabbed the other's clothes and looked at her with reluctance in her big eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll run away as soon as anything goes wrong." After giving Shang Yunmiao a gentle hug to reassure her, Chen Bing took a deep breath, shone her phone into the bushes, and called out loudly, "What's wrong? Does anyone need help?"

...

Back to Cai Shichen and his group, several tens of minutes ago, they waited and waited but no one replied. In their impatience, they tried to pull Cai Shichen away again.

As a result, before anyone could even get out, the wall started shaking even more violently, and more cracks appeared, giving off an impression that if anyone dared to pull it again, it would collapse right before their eyes.

Now, these people really didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. After all, it was a minor matter if the wall collapsed and killed or injured Cai Shichen; it would be much worse if they were hurt. They knew that if they continued to pull the other party, they would most likely be standing under the wall when it collapsed.

The saying goes, "A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall." Although these men could hardly be considered gentlemen, they still understood the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, driven by their biological nature. If they hadn't been unable to leave Cai Shichen there to die, they would have run away long ago.

With no other options at the moment, they could only shout loudly for help into the school, hoping to attract the attention of passersby.

What? You're asking why they didn't run back to school to ask the security guard for help? Please, if they did that, wouldn't they be walking into a trap, reporting to the school that they skipped class by sneaking through a hole and even putting their classmates in danger?

Therefore, it's safer to call for help from behind a wall, so the school won't know you've skipped class. Who knows, with a bit of luck, you might even run into a kind classmate who can rescue Cai Shichen without alerting the teachers.

The above idea is good, but the good thing is that Cai Shichen is doomed, having been betrayed by them. Once the teacher and security guard arrive to rescue Cai Shichen, they can escape, but Cai Shichen, the one being rescued, won't get away. A punishment or a demerit would be the least of his worries; he might even cause a major disturbance and be expelled, either openly or covertly.

But compared to life, those things are nothing.

Before shouting, the brothers outside the high wall decided to squat down and do some ideological work with Cai Shichen.

"Brother Chen, it's not that we brothers are disloyal or that we're going to betray you. It's just that when lives are at stake, no punishment matters."

After hearing this, the cowardly Cai Shichen could only accept his bad luck. He stuck his head out, remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing to their idea.

Seeing this, the brothers exchanged glances, said no more, stood up, and began to call for help into the school.

However, they didn't shout too loudly, because deep down they still hoped not to disturb the teacher.

It was under these circumstances that Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao arrived.

The people outside the wall were overjoyed to hear a response from inside, and from a very young voice. They excitedly told Chen Bing the whole story, from the beginning to the end.

After hearing the whole story, Chen Bing was speechless and immediately thought of calling the teacher over. But then she thought again, wasn't this the kind of fun she had been wanting to see? As a responsible entertainer, how could she stand idly by?

After replying with "I understand," he turned around and went back to find Xiao Shang, who looked nervous. As he led her toward the cave, he briefly explained the situation to her.

After hearing the whole story, Xiao Shang wasn't as speechless as Chen Bing, or perhaps she found it amusing. The little girl looked worried, seemingly quite concerned for the classmate who was stuck.

"Hey buddy, how did you get stuck? How are you now?" Since he couldn't see the face of the student who was stuck, Chen Bing could only talk to the other person's butt.

"It's alright, I won't die for now, but it'll be soon." Because the voice came from the mouth rather than the buttocks, and because there was a high wall between them, plus the person's voice was a bit hoarse, it sounded like he had been trapped here for quite a while, so Chen Bing didn't recognize that this person was Cai Shichen, whom she had just met.

Cai Shichen, who was separated from Chen Bing by a wall, was also exhausted, so he didn't even realize that the person who saved him was Chen Bing.
