Chapter 59 I'll Blindfold You and Help You Change
With a loud splash, a huge splash appeared on the water surface. Sang Zhixia jumped into the freezing water and grabbed the figure that was sinking to the bottom of the water.
The water is too deep and too cold.
She held her breath and struggled to pull the rope that was wrapped around Aunt Xu's waist and was tied with stones. She held the person who had fainted from choking on the water in her hands and kicked the water hard towards the shore.
The ice water that kept choking her throat stung her lungs, but she was holding the life in her hands and didn't care about anything else.
Xu Mingyang was like a little beast that had lost its soul. He looked at the two figures floating up and down in the water and ran towards them desperately: "Mom! Sister-in-law!"
"Go back and stand!"
Sang Zhixia spat out the river water that had choked him, resisted the heaviness of falling, used up the last bit of his strength to step on the gravel under the riverbank, gritted his teeth and pulled the unusually heavy person onto the riverbank.
“Cough cough cough…”
The clothes soaked in cold water brought countless chills that penetrated deep into the bones and flesh. The cold wind blew and Sang Zhixia began to shiver uncontrollably.
She endured the chattering of her teeth, picked up her jacket and wrapped it around the weak-feeling Second Aunt Xu. She staggered to her feet and said to Xu Mingyang, "Son, give me a hand."
Second Aunt Xu was already covered in blood, and after being soaked in cold water with the determination to die, if she wasn't brought back quickly, someone might actually die!
Xu Mingyang rolled and crawled over to help, but he was too young and frightened, so his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't use any strength.
Sang Zhixia tried several times but failed to carry the person on his back. He made up his mind and simply tied the person to his back with his dripping belt.
She hunched her waist and held Xu Mingyang's shaking hand: "Let's go home."
When I chased it out, I just ran, so it wasn't that difficult.
But the way back was too difficult.
The snow was deep and the road was slippery, not to mention that there was a heavy and cold person on my back that made me feel ominous.
Sang Zhixia suppressed the dizziness that was coming over her, panting and squeezing Xu Mingyang's hand: "Mingyang, go back and find your eldest brother for help, go quickly."
If Xu Yu didn't come soon, she really couldn't bear it anymore.
Xu Mingyang was so scared that he burst into tears. He rolled on the ground for a few rounds, then stood up using his hands and feet and said, "Okay... okay..."
"I'm going to find my eldest brother... Sister-in-law, you and mother wait for me... I'm going to find my eldest brother now..."
The little kid fell every three steps he took, and rolled and crawled all the way, but he managed to roll out a relatively clean path in the snow.
Sang Zhixia didn't dare to count on his efficiency. He smiled bitterly, tried to stand up straight, grabbed the wooden stick he had picked up, stuck it into the ground, and began to move forward step by step.
at the same time.
Xu Yu came out of the village chief's house, his face as gloomy as water and his feet moving quickly. "Aunt San, did you see clearly which direction they were going?"
Aunt Xu wiped the snow off her head and face and smiled bitterly: "I didn't have a chance to see it clearly..."
Xu Minghui's face turned pale and he was speechless.
Third Aunt Xu struggled for a moment and said bitterly, "But I think your Second Aunt is acting strangely. If we go too late, something might happen. Hurry up..."
“Big Brother!”
"Brother, go and save my sister-in-law and my mother!"
Xu Mingyang, who was running frantically, fell to the snow in the distance without feeling any pain, crying desperately at the blurry figure: "Brother, please go quickly..."
"Go and save them..."
"Zhizhi..."
Xu Yu rushed out without thinking, and Xu Minghui followed closely behind him, his figure quickly disappearing into the wind and snow.
Aunt Xu ran over and grabbed Xu Mingyang, whose face was bruised and purple, and said anxiously, "Mingyang, what happened to your mother and your sister-in-law? Why are they..."
"Mother...Mother jumped into the river..."
"What did you say?!"
Aunt Xu San grabbed Xu Mingyang and walked towards the house in fear. Xu Yu fell many times and got up again and again. After repeating this countless times, he finally rolled to a place where Sang Zhixia could see him.
The wind and snow that caught my eye at that moment seemed to be cut apart by wind blades.
Behind the layers of snowflakes, in the indistinguishable wind and snow, the only thing that comes into view is a black that is so thick that it cannot be wiped away.
Sang Zhixia was in a trance and even thought that what she saw was an unreal illusion.
She narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively, "Xu Yu?"
Xu Yu rolled twice, tearing through the wind and snow and rushed forward: "Zhizhi!"
"Mother...sister-in-law..."
Xu Minghui, who was a little slower, slipped and fell at Sang Zhixia's feet. Sang Zhixia saw the two brothers falling to the ground in a strange posture and gasped for breath.
"Finally, someone has arrived..."
Her body swayed, causing Xu Yu to quickly reach out to help. Xu Minghui, with his trembling hands, tested Second Aunt Xu's nose and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I'll carry my mother on my back. Hurry and carry my sister-in-law and hurry home!"
"quick!"
Xu Yu used both hands to tear off the belt that Sang Zhixia had used to tie the two of them, took off his clothes and wrapped Sang Zhixia tightly.
What hits your nose is warmth mixed with the biting wind and snow.
Sang Zhixia's eyes were blocked by the pitch-black scene in front of her clothes. She could only shiver while maintaining a hazy state of consciousness in the darkness.
Xu Yu subconsciously hugged her tighter, his voice hoarse as if he had swallowed a piece of iron: "Don't be afraid, we'll go home now."
Xu Wenxiu, who was guarding the door, saw the man coming back and was so anxious that he shed tears: "God bless you... He is finally back..."
"Yu'er, Xia Xia..."
"She caught a cold while diving into the water to save someone. I'll take her inside to change her clothes. Mom, please help check on Second Aunt. Zhizhi said she's seriously injured."
After Xu Yu finished speaking, he strode into the west shed holding Sang Zhixia. Aunt Xu San quickly brought a red-hot charcoal brazier.
"Quickly bring the charcoal brazier into the house and set it aside. I'll bring you another one!"
The coldness in the west shed seemed to have improved a lot with the warmth of the charcoal basin, but Sang Zhixia's teeth were still chattering as she was wrapped in a quilt by Xu Yu.
It's too cold.
It's really cold.
Her hands were frozen into chicken claws!
She tried to grab her clothes tremblingly, but after trying a few times, she felt a big hand with bulging veins on her wrist.
Xu Yu's eyes were red as he said, "You can't do this. Let me help you change."
After Sang Zhixia has recovered from shivering, it’s time to dry the wet clothes.
Sang Zhixia was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. Her tongue suddenly became tied: "But...but..."
"I'll change it for you while I'm blindfolded."
Xu Yu took off the black hairband on his head and tied it in front of his eyes, blocking all his vision, then grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand which was cold to the bone.
"Zhizhi, let me help you."
With vision blocked, the sense of touch became particularly vivid. Every place where the rough fingertips slid over gave rise to large goose bumps.
Like sparks that set the prairie on fire, bits of sparks fell down, and everywhere was scorching hot.
Xu Yu mistakenly thought that she was very cold, so he speeded up his movements as much as possible, but Sang Zhixia, who had her clothes stripped off, shivered even more violently.
She was shaking uncontrollably like a sieve sifting through chaff. Where Xu Yu couldn't see, her face turned red as if bleeding, and her whole body was terribly stiff.
Xu Yu tore off the water-soaked quilt and threw it on the ground. He grabbed his own quilt and covered Sang Zhixia with it, then hugged the still trembling person tightly through the quilt.
He leaned close to Sang Zhixia's ear and said in a deeper tone than ever before: "Sang Zhixia."
"You shouldn't have risked your life by jumping into the water to save someone."
