The dog days of summer in Northeast China are extremely hot and humid!
The rolling heat waves seemed to be gushing out from deep underground, sweeping across every inch of land and air wantonly, baking the earth scorchingly.
People walking outside felt as if they were thrown into a huge steamer, with the heat pouring in from all around them, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
So people chose to stay indoors or hide in the shade, fanning themselves vigorously with fans in their hands.
But what makes people depressed is that the weak wind can't dispel the suffocating heat.
The whole world seemed to be shrouded in this heat, and even time seemed to slow down.
But this scorching heat can't affect the children's playing at all.
At this time, the children from Mengjiagou, including Meng Fei, Meng Long, Meng Lei, Qiu Bo and Erluzi, were hiding in a shady place playing marbles.
"Hey! Brother Long! You are cheating! Your dizzy dizzy is bounced out! It's not thrown!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Ask them if they saw it! This is a new way of playing! I just figured it out this morning!!"
At this moment, an inopportune voice was heard.
"I saw it. Brother Long just threw the ball."
The person who spoke was Meng Fei.
Meng Long took a deep breath in anger, but when he thought of the scene in the past when Meng Fei chased Meng Lei all over the village, he swallowed his anger back.
At this time, Qiubo touched his sweaty forehead and complained.
"Oh my... Why is it so hot today? I'm almost melting! There's no place to cool down!"
One stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone complained.
At this moment, Meng Fei seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey! Let's go swim in the river! If we're lucky, we can catch some willow roots or something! We can roast them and eat them later!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Meng Fei's proposal.
"Sure! Let's go! Let's go now!"
"Oh, at the critical moment, it still has to be Meng Fei! He has so many ideas!"
"That's right! It was Meng Fei who came up with the idea of setting off firecrackers in the bathroom last time!!"
When Qiu Bo, who was standing by, heard this, his face instantly turned green. He felt his stomach churning violently. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and squatted on the ground vomiting loudly.
When the children saw the filth on the ground, they hid far away from it as if they had seen the god of plague and ran towards the river.
Only Meng Fei remained where he was, gently patting Qiubo's back.
After a while, Qiubo stopped vomiting and his eyes were red.
"Are you feeling better?" Meng Fei asked with concern.
Qiubo took a few deep breaths with trembling hands, and then he felt much better.
"Much better... much better... come on, let's go to the river."
After saying that, Meng Fei supported Qiubo and walked towards the river.
When we arrived at the river, all the children had already taken off their clothes and went into the water.
They were floating naked in the river.
Almost all the children in Mengjiagou can swim, and without exception, they all know how to swim in the most classic way.
Dog paddle!
The dog paddle and breaststroke are similar in nature, both of which are imitated from the swimming styles of animals.
But compared with breaststroke, the dog paddle does seem a bit less elegant.
After a while of struggling in the water, everyone stirred up the water and started to catch fish.
Even though Qiubo is the fattest, he is the best swimmer among the group of kids.
Qiubo dived into the water and soon a pool of mud emerged from the bottom of the water.
10 seconds.
20 seconds.
40 seconds.
One minute!
Finally, after about a minute and a half, everyone saw that Qiubo had not come up yet, and the excited expressions on their faces began to turn into nervousness.
Meng Long: "Is Qiubo drowned?"
Meng Lei: "I heard from my third grandmother the story of a water ghost looking for a substitute. Qiu Bo can't be captured by a water ghost!"
Erluzi: "Oh my god! What are you still standing there for? Run! The water ghosts will catch us soon!!!"
Hearing this, several people rolled and crawled back to the shore using their hands and feet.
Everyone climbed back to the shore in horror and looked into the river with lingering fear. They saw that Meng Fei did not come ashore, but was looking around on the water with a serious look in his eyes.
Suddenly! Meng Fei seemed to have discovered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he dived into the water.
Everyone on the shore looked towards the water nervously.
Ten seconds later, Meng Fei's head popped out of the water, holding the unconscious Qiu Bo in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Fei swam towards the shore, dragging the heavy Qiu Bo.
But Qiubo weighed twice as much as Meng Fei, and swimming was extremely difficult for him.
At this time, the second donkey on the shore saw this and hurriedly picked up a branch and stretched it towards Meng Fei.
Meng Fei grabbed a branch and dragged Qiubo back to the shore safely.
At this time Qiubo's face was extremely pale and bloodless.
Meng Fei didn't dare to delay and directly put his palms together and pressed hard on Qiu Bo's chest.
As Meng Fei continued to press, streams of water slowly flowed out from the corners of Qiubo's mouth. He pressed for a long time, but Qiubo still showed no signs of waking up.
Seeing this, Meng Fei made up his mind, pinched Qiubo's upper and lower jaws with both hands, took a deep breath, and was about to give Qiubo artificial respiration.
Seeing their mouths getting closer and closer, everyone around them widened their eyes.
