"I heard it was that family's child."
"That family? Oh, it looks like I've been punished again, karma."
Xia's face suddenly turned pale as she listened. "Min'er? No, no."
Seeing her sister-in-law running towards the peaceful pond, Shen Heng hurried to follow. Did little Xie Min fall into the water? What was he doing at the pond at this hour? A strange premonition flashed through her mind.
Ping'an Pond was over 200 meters away from the Xie family, and even further away from them at the moment. When the two of them arrived breathlessly, they were surrounded by quite a few people, all talking about something.
"Found it, found it."
"This child is very lucky."
Xia pushed through the crowd and nearly fainted when she saw the people in the pond: "Ajian, Min'er, he, he..."
Chen Heng saw Xie Jian struggling to pull little Xie Min, who was unknown whether he was dead or alive, ashore. No one around him came to help him, and no one gave him a hand.
Although the sun was shining brightly, the fifteen-year-old boy was still frozen to the point of having a blue face and dark purple lips. He dragged little Xie Min onto the stone slabs of the pier, pressing hard on little Xie Min's chest with his trembling hands, his eyes filled with fear, terror and helplessness.
Xia sat limply on the ground, her eyes fixed on her son's pale and blue face.
Chen Heng didn't know how to react. She knew CPR, and Xie Jian was no worse than her. When she was studying first aid in college, her instructor had said that Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, had used CPR to save many people and even proposed different resuscitation methods. It wouldn't matter if she tried again.
There were many discussions in my ears
"It seems that this child is no longer happy."
"Yeah, it's been a while."
"Once you fall into the pond, you can't see or touch anyone. Xie Jian was lucky to be rescued. What a pity."
"This is retribution, kid. Grandpa killed someone, and look at his descendants. None of them came to fruition. So, people should never do bad things."
Chen Heng looked at the people around her with a cold expression. They were pointing fingers and asking, "Why didn't anyone save a five-year-old child who fell into the water?" "Don't they have any compassion?"
Is it because the grandfather of the Xie family is a murderer that everyone is so indifferent? Do they think Xie Min deserves it, is it retribution?
At this moment, little Xie Min, who looked like he was about to die, suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of water.
"Min'er, Min'er." Xia stood up, but her feet went soft again. She almost crawled over, and the next moment she hugged her son tightly and burst into tears.
Chen Heng ran over and touched little Xie Min's face. Seeing that he looked frightened, she said, "Sister-in-law, Min'er is cold. Let's go home quickly."
Xia nodded.
Chen Heng picked up her little nephew. The five-year-old boy was very weak in his wet clothes, but she still gritted her teeth and picked him up. Looking at Xie Jian, his whole body was still trembling.
"I don't have any." Xie Jian motioned them to go first.
Chen Heng ran home with the child in her arms. As soon as she got home, she quickly took off Xie Min's wet clothes and put him in the quilt. She then took out a dry towel to wipe his head. Seeing that the child was shivering without saying a word, she simply took off her own clothes and got into the quilt to hug him so that he would warm up quickly.
"I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore."
When Xia rushed into the room, she saw her sister-in-law lying in bed holding her son. She fell powerlessly on the doorstep again. After a while, she went into the kitchen and started to light a fire and boil water. Looking at her trembling hands when she lit the fire, she burst into tears again.
After entering the house, Xie Jian heard his sister-in-law crying in the kitchen, and then heard Shen Heng's comforting voice coming from the living room. He thought of the panic he had just felt when he couldn't find anyone in the pond. If he hadn't appeared at the pond in time, if he hadn't saved Min'er...
