Chapter 98 The Boy in the Water
Xu Sichen decided early on that he would never compromise himself just to hide his strength.
Kayaks before, after the reunion, and now roller skates.
As long as the secrets of space are not involved, everything can be done as you feel comfortable.
"Xu girl, you're really smart. You know how to use roller skates." Fang Tiexiong panted heavily and said, "My daughter has a pair too. I would have brought one with me earlier."
"Come on, with your big feet, you can wear your daughter's skates, what a joke." The tall and thin Su Hongliang sneered.
"Hahaha, and even if we give it to him, he won't be able to do it. Just look how many times he fell along the way." Wen Guoan, who was wearing glasses, joined in laughing at Fang Tiexiong.
The few of them seemed to be chatting and laughing, and they always had a good relationship.
Qian Wenbin saw the curiosity on Xu Sichen's face and said with a smile, "We are from the same lab, so we have a good relationship."
Xu Sichen understood.
No wonder Qian Wenbin dared to confront the property management.
The four families together have quite a large population.
"But to be honest, looking at Miss Xu's appearance, I am also envious. I wonder if she can still find ice skates now." Guo Jianhua couldn't help but express his envy.
"It's pretty bad. The materials on the surface of the water have probably been emptied out long ago. As for what's underwater? If there was still water accumulation, maybe we could think of a way to get out of the water and try, but it's freezing cold now, so forget it." Su Hongliang sighed.
"Not necessarily!" Xu Sichen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. Several people immediately quieted down and looked at her seriously.
Especially Qian Wenbin and others, they didn't treat Xu Sichen as a child at all.
After all, a child guarding a treasure cannot resist the covetousness of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Xu Sichen: "Before, there were strong winds and heavy rain, and not many people dared to go out to collect supplies. Later, the rain stopped, but it was too short. Even if they were searched, most of the supplies were mainly food."
"That makes sense. Miss Xu is really smart." Fang Tiexiong said excitedly, "Old Qian, why don't we go now? Maybe we can find some thick clothes and quilts."
When the other people present heard this, they also became interested.
Before Qian Wenbin could make a decision, several people suggested not to go with them to look for firewood for the time being.
"The elderly and children at home are still cuddling in bed, so I want to go find some supplies first."
"Me too. I'll join you guys next time."
They were all people from other buildings, so Qian Wenbin didn't feel unhappy and let them go directly.
In the end, the only people left were those from Building No. 5 and Guo Jianhua and three others from Building No. 1. Everyone else had left.
"Let's go collect some things that can be used to burn for warmth." Qian Wenbin said and looked at Xu Sichen to ask for her opinion.
Xu Sichen nodded.
Although she doesn't need it, she still pretends to have one in order to hide her space.
From a priority perspective, firewood can not only keep you warm, but also allow you to cook something hot.
But before they had gone far, they suddenly heard a shrill cry not far away.
"Ahhh, Xiaohui, Xiaohui, Daddy is here to save you!"
"Help, help me, someone please come and save me!"
Everyone stopped and turned to look.
"It's Yu Anfu! They're the family I told you about. Xiaohui is his son." Tung Chee-hwa said solemnly, "Old Qian, you two go first. I'll go over and take a look."
Qian Wenbin said, "Let's go together. Since we heard it, we can't just stand by and watch without helping."
Xu Sichen slipped away before Qian Wenbin asked for her opinion.
The speed was so fast that everyone behind was dumbfounded.
It also made them more determined to find a pair of skates.
Soon, Xu Sichen saw the source of the crying.
There was a man kneeling there, bending over and hitting the ground hard with the iron rod in his hand.
I don't know how long he chiseled, but he only made a shallow hole in the ice.
But he kept moving, his eyes fixed on the ice below, and a pathetic cry for help came from his throat.
Hearing someone approaching, he immediately cried for help: "Please help me! Help me save my son..."
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Sichen. His forehead was bleeding, but he didn't feel any pain.
Xu Sichen didn't say anything, but took out an engineer shovel from his bag and dug it directly into the shallow pit he had dug.
The man quickly crawled over and continued to chisel the ice with the iron rod in his hand, murmuring unconsciously: "Thank you, thank you! My son is down there, he is down there!"
Xu Sichen's expression froze. He glanced at the kayak that had suffocated beside the man. Without thinking, he knew what had happened.
What happened last night is still vivid in my mind.
She rescued many people, but many more sank into the water.
A sudden severe cold snap froze the lives of countless people.
When Tung Chee-hwa and his men arrived, they wanted to ask what they were digging for. After hearing the words "He is down there, my son is down there", they quickly understood what was going on and their hair stood on end.
"Old Yu, I, I'll help you!" Tung Chee-hwa hurriedly took out an axe from his bag and followed Xu Sichen and the others to chisel the ice pit, which had become much deeper.
Qian Wenbin and others also followed suit without saying a word.
At this moment, they all felt a sense of suffocation in their hearts, unable to breathe or release the pressure.
I could only use all my strength to dig the ice pit.
Yu Anfu kowtowed to them while crying, and continued to murmur: "Son, Daddy will bring you out soon, very soon."
There is strength in numbers, and soon the shape of a hand appeared faintly under the turbid ice.
Seeing this, everyone stopped and let Yu Anfu kneel on the ground, stretching out a pair of gloves with holes in them, and slowly scraping away the ice below bit by bit.
Even if blood is drawn, the process will not stop.
Seeing this, several middle-aged men couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Only Xu Sichen watched quietly, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.
She has seen too many things like this in her past and present lives.
Soon, the ice was scraped away, revealing a hand.
It was a purple-black hand, twisted and struggling upwards.
"My, my son!" Yu Anfu crawled a little closer, his hands shaking, he hugged the hand tightly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Layer after layer of ice froze onto his face.
"Thank you, thank you, but can you please help me dig the baby out again?" Yu Anfu burst into tears, a trace of bright red leaked from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed to feel nothing and just looked at them pleadingly.
His sadness infected everyone present. Without him saying a word, everyone spontaneously began to dig down along the hand.
Everyone dug very carefully for fear of damaging the child's body.
In the wind and snow, they seemed not to feel the cold. Bit by bit, they finally dug out the body of a young boy.
