Chapter 231 The Cold Body



Wang Tianxiao struggled to drag Cao Shuang to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), but when he and Wang Tianyi tried to lift him, they found it was still very difficult.

People who are unaware of this feel as if their bodies have fallen apart, without any bones, and have no stable strength at all.

Therefore, it is very difficult to lift.

Everyone who has helped someone who is completely drunk knows this.

Right now, Cao Shuang is not only dead drunk, but he is also strong and slippery, making it really difficult to lift him up.

The two brothers were both strong, tall, and robust young men.

It took a lot of effort to drag and carry Cao Shuang to the entrance of the alley.

Surprisingly, they seemed to lack staying power.

However, there was nothing that could be done, because the surrounding water was saturated. So even though the rain had lessened considerably, the water level in the pit courtyard not only did not decrease, but continued to rise slowly.

Since they had already gone beyond the area of ​​the kang (heated brick bed), everyone on the kang was in danger.

The two then went to the second house, which they remembered was Cao Hong's house.

Just as he reached the door, ready to repeat the same mistake of kicking it down, he heard Cao Hong shouting from inside: "Mom and Dad, brother, please open the door for me, there's a flood!"

Wang Tianxiao was relieved; at least the guy was still awake.

The water level is only slightly higher than the kang (heated brick bed). If a person were standing on the kang, there shouldn't be any problem. If they could still be flooded, then the water would have submerged the entire entrance to the cave dwelling.

This situation is unlikely to occur anytime soon.

They're all grown men now, yet when problems arise, they don't know how to save themselves and still wait for their parents to rescue them.

He really does seem a bit like a mama's boy.

This is similar to his final actions in his previous life.

In his past life, this guy grew up and drained his mother dry. After getting married, he kicked his mother out of the house and even beat and scolded her.

An Geguaiqiaodan would often sit at the intersection crying in a mad manner, telling everyone that her child was unfilial and that she didn't care about him. At first, people felt a little sorry for her, but as time went on, they got annoyed.

She attributed her misfortune to not properly educating her children.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.

"Cao Hong, wait a minute, let's think of a way."

Wang Tianxiao shouted inside, signaling him not to panic.

Actually, the pressure inside and outside the water is about the same, so there is almost no difference in difficulty in breaking the door from the inside to the outside.

In fact, it's a bit simpler inside.

Judging from Cao Hong's spineless appearance, he was probably terrified and wouldn't even try to save himself.

Who's outside?

“I am your Grandfather Tianxiao.”

"Ah, Master Tianxiao, please open the door for me! I can't open it! Where did all this water come from?"

"It's been pouring rain all night, and you can still sleep? That's ridiculous," Wang Tianxiao was speechless at this family. Luckily, they came. If it weren't for them, judging from the situation, something really bad might have happened.

No wonder so many people died on this night in my past life.

It turns out that some people really do fall asleep and know nothing at all, sleeping like a log.

"Tianyi, you figure out a way to kick this door open. I'm going to check on Da Neng and his wife. I haven't heard any noise yet, and I don't know how they are doing."

"Okay, Second Brother, the little thief is awake. He should be fine standing on the kang. I estimate the water level won't rise too quickly afterward, and the sky is about to clear up."

Wang Tianyi looked up at the sky. Although there was still a light drizzle, it was no longer as heavy as before.

While the water level has not dropped immediately, it has not risen rapidly either.

Wang Tianxiao arrived at the entrance of Wang Daneng and his wife's cave dwelling, pounded on the door, and called out several times.

There was no answer.

It looked lifeless.

He was secretly worried, wondering if the couple had also fallen into a coma like Cao Shuang.

If that happens, the odds are probably against them.

Just now in Cao Shuang's room, I could clearly see that the water level was higher than the kang (heated brick bed).

Feeling anxious, he made much bigger movements.

Fortunately, Cao Daneng's house had an old, dilapidated door, which he quickly kicked apart.

But when he went inside, he found that there was no one in the cave.

This completely baffled him.

Where has everyone gone in the middle of the night?

Could it be at the tofu shop?

Making tofu isn't something that happens late at night, so if they were going to do it, they would have just gotten up now. They couldn't have been inside during the first half of the night.

Besides, even if he were making tofu, he couldn't just sleep like that.

We should be clear-headed.

At this moment, Cao Hong was also rescued by Wang Tianyi.

Where are your parents?

Wang Tianxiao asked Cao Hong.

Cao Hong, however, said he didn't know either.

It was there when I was sleeping, but in the middle of the night, it just disappeared.

Wang Tianxiao and Wang Tianyi looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone was completely baffled.

This family is even more outrageous than them.

"Quickly look around and see where they went. Could they have fainted somewhere?"

Wang Tianxiao hurriedly shouted.

"Eh."

The three then went off to search in different directions.

Because the water was too deep and it was pitch black.

Wang Tianxiao was particularly worried that Cao Hong might fall into the seepage pit in their house, so he instructed Cao Hong to feel his way along the wall. If Cao Hong fell into the seepage pit, then there would be no way to save him.

The Wang brothers are both from the north and can't swim.

The tires around my waist could only keep me from sinking, but rescuing people was out of the question.

After searching for another ten minutes or so, Cao Hong suddenly shouted, "Here, I found my father!"

"where?"

"This...this corner, the northwest corner."
