Chapter 2: Saving My Brother
The old house was not far from her home, but at this moment it seemed like a world away to her.
Xiaoxu, sister is here to save you!
Don't move, don't get into trouble!
Oh, God! Please protect Xiaoxu from any harm!
In her previous life, on July 28th, she was waiting at home for the admission letter.
Xiaoxu suddenly disappeared. When he was found, he was lying unconscious in the yard of the old house with a large pool of blood under his body. He had fallen from a fruit tree.
No one knew how he fell down at that time. He was only 6 years old. He couldn't be saved after this fall!
If he died, his mother would not be able to survive! He jumped into the well while she was not paying attention!
Dad died in a coal mine collapse the year Xiaoxu was born!
She became an orphan, a helpless person.
The culprit behind all this was actually Li Ke, her best friend.
How ironic!
In order to go to college, I directly killed my younger brother and indirectly killed my mother!
She would never allow this to happen again!
no way!
She ran while gritting her teeth!
It must have rained continuously in the past few days, and the ground is very slippery. It is easy to slip when running. My clothes are so dirty after running all the way here!
She kept running through the wheat field and the pepper field! She was almost there! She saw Xiaoxu standing on the tree, reaching for an apple!
"Xiao Xu, don't...ah——"
She was about to yell at her brother not to move, but her feet suddenly loosened, she stumbled, and fell straight down!
ah-----
"What's going on?"
She covered her painful head and looked up:
Oh my god!
Before him was a four-foot square pit, two feet deep. Because of the rain, the pit was flooded with muddy water half a man high.
Even climbing at this moment would take some effort.
Mom hasn't brought anyone here yet! If we wait any longer, Xiaoxu might be in danger.
It seems that the only way is to climb up. Only by climbing up will Xiaoxu have a chance of survival.
She wiped her face and tried to climb up, but when she lifted her foot, the sole of her shoe seemed to be sucked in and could not be pulled out.
After just one step, he fell into the pit and couldn't move.
What you fear will come true.
She grabbed the edge of the wet mud pit, used all her strength to lift her foot up, and finally pulled one foot out of the shoe.
"It's okay, it's okay!" She breathed a sigh of relief!
She quickly dug a few small holes halfway up the mud pit, high and low, and put her feet in. She climbed up using her hands to support herself through the holes, pulling her other foot out as well.
"Great!" She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped on the small hole, climbed out of the pit, and ran forward desperately.
Her shoes were still stuck in the pit, and she couldn't run fast barefoot on the slippery road. Every three steps forward, her feet slipped, and she stumbled to the tree.
Looking up, Xiaoxu was still standing on the tree.
"call--"
Fortunately, fortunately! There is still time!
"Xiao Xu, just stand there and don't move! My sister is coming!"
"Sister, apple!" Xiaoxu pointed to a red apple on a branch nearby and showed it to her!
"Don't move! I'll be right up, don't move, do you hear me?" She looked down at her feet while comforting her brother.
My feet are already covered in mud and water, so I probably won’t be able to climb up like this.
But when she looked up, she saw that the branch Xiaoxu was standing on was only as thick as her arm, and it was a bit difficult to bear the weight of a child. At this moment, the branch began to sway slightly.
Forget it, never mind, let’s go up first.
"Xiao Xu, don't move! I'll be up soon!" she shouted at the tree.
"Sister, I can almost reach the apple."
"Don't, don't..."
"ah--"
Before she could finish, Xiaoxu suddenly screamed!
"What's wrong?" She looked up quickly, her eyes filled with fear.
"don't want--"
With a scream, she instinctively reached out to catch it...
…………
…………
“Ah—sister…”
…………
"Crack—" the branches made a sound!
Xiaoxu grabbed a branch at the moment he fell.
Now, his whole body was hanging in the air. Because of fear, his legs kicked wildly, and the branch was bent into a bow due to the weight.
"Don't move!" She choked, she was so scared that she couldn't breathe. She let the tears blur her eyes, and her first action was to crawl!
She wrung out her clothes, wiped her feet, and climbed up the tree in three or two steps. She squatted on the triangular tree hole closest to her brother and stretched out her hands to reach.
Xiaoxu also tried to get closer to her.
She leaned forward and her hand finally reached Xiaoxu's waist.
He grabbed the branch again, hugged his brother's waist, pulled it back suddenly, and carried him over!
The brother and sister squatted in the tree hole, gasping for breath in fear.
She glanced at her brother beside her, took a few breaths in shock, then picked him up and slowly climbed down from the tree to the ground.
At this moment, she thought of crying - it seemed like a meeting from another world, and the joy of regaining what had been lost!
At this moment, there is only this kind of emotion left, and only this kind of reaction!
finally……
Rescued!
She couldn't stop crying, her whole body was shaking, she couldn't even stand up, her legs were so weak that she sat down on the ground!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaoxu patted her back and asked her softly.
She lowered her head and shook it!
Xiaoxu's voice made her cry even more. All the grievances and pains she had suffered in her previous life were released at this moment!
My brother was saved, and my mother was saved too!
Finally she doesn't have to be alone anymore!
In this life, I can finally live a good life!
When her mother came over with a few people from next door, she had already taken Xiaoxu back!
"Oh, who the hell opened the canal and created such a big mud puddle on the road? Isn't this a waste of people's money?" a neighbor complained.
Tian Xin noticed that he was also covered in mud, so she asked, "Uncle, did you fall down too?"
"Yeah, he ran too fast and caught me off guard. Look what happened..."
"It was fine yesterday. I don't know who did this!"
"It's Sister Li Ke!" Xiaoxu said.
"Who?" the neighbor asked in surprise. "Who are you talking about? Li Ke?"
"Well, she brought me here and asked me to pick apples from the tree for my sister!" Xiao Xu pointed to the mud pit: "That's where I saw her digging!"
really!
Tian Xin sneered, and a layer of coldness appeared in her eyes.
"Xiao Xu, come here and tell your sister everything you know!"
She squatted down, hugged Xiaoxu, and asked the neighbors to listen: "Besides this, what else did Sister Li Ke do? Tell us everything you saw!"
"Boom—"
The sky is covered with dark clouds, and it looks like it’s going to rain again!
She looked up, then turned around and looked at the mud pit, the tree, and the roof of the old house that was about to collapse!
Now that I'm back, some accounts need to be settled!
