Xu Xingchen's thoughts didn't last long because she had other things to do.
I haven’t watered the vegetables today!
She opened the door and was about to go to the backyard to take a look when she saw Jun Haoyue standing in the yard, his brows furrowed, as if he was worried about something. Seeing her come out, he immediately came forward and said seriously, "I think I said something wrong just now. I was wrong."
He was actually thinking about how to apologize! Xu Xingchen felt helpless.
This was indeed the Jun Haoyue he knew.
"You are indeed wrong. You must accept your punishment. I will punish you by having you help me water the plants. Hurry up and fetch some water from the river." As she said this, she thrust the phone's barrel directly at Jun Haoyue. Jun Haoyue naturally did not refuse, nodded, and was about to leave.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the distance: "Help, help!"
As soon as I heard this sound, I knew something was wrong.
The two of them hurriedly ran towards the direction where the sound came from. They saw Aunt Zhang by the river, tears welling up in her eyes due to anxiety, and her son Erhu was sinking in the water, apparently drowning.
"Please save my son!"
When Aunt Zhang saw the two of them, she rushed over as if she saw hope.
Jun Haoyue didn't say much, kicked off his shoes and jumped into the river, and soon rescued the person.
But it was too late.
Erhu had been in the water for too long, his face was ashen and he was no longer breathing. "Move aside, let me try!"
Xu Xingchen pushed away the crowd gathered by the river and rushed to Erhu.
She laid the person flat on the ground, used first aid methods to splash out the water, and then began cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"What are you doing! Don't touch him!"
Aunt Zhang had just seen Erhu die, and she had fainted, only just now regaining consciousness. She had never seen anyone use the same first aid method as Xu Xingchen, so she naturally thought it was unreliable. She rushed over, pushed Xu Xingchen away, and hugged her child tightly, "Don't touch him!"
Obviously, Aunt Zhang was so shocked that she couldn't think rationally anymore.
Xu Xingchen couldn't reason with her, so the stalemate continued.
"Aunt Zhang, my cousin knows medicine."
At this time, Jun Haoyue stood up and said seriously, "Her medical skills are no worse than Doctor Lu's. If you let her save the patient, there might be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, your child will really be gone."
The last sentence was like a silver needle piercing Aunt Zhang's heart, and she was stunned.
Seeing this, other villagers rushed forward to hold her back and said, "Xingchen, hurry up and save her."
"It will be too late if we don't save him now!"
Xu Xingchen gave the villagers a grateful look and began to provide first aid. She tried every possible method, but unfortunately, the child did not survive.
Xu Xingchen sighed deeply and withdrew his hand helplessly.
Aunt Zhang's eyes turned red when she saw this scene. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she broke free from the villagers' hands.
"How is my child?"
Xu Xingchen said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I couldn't save him." Erhu's body was weak to begin with, and he had been soaking in the water for so long today. Even if he was pulled to the modern era, he might not be saved with those advanced equipment. She really tried her best.
She was really sad to see a life disappear.
Aunt Zhang was in even greater pain. As the child's mother, she was unwilling to face the facts and picked up the child.
"Erhu, you'll be fine... Mom will take you to see a doctor!"
She took the child to Lu Heng's residence, but found that he had gone out and had not returned.
Aunt Zhang took the child to the town's medical clinic instead. She went to several clinics and saw almost all the doctors, but they all shook their heads and said, "The child is gone. Go back and prepare for the funeral."
Aunt Zhang held the cold corpse and cried loudly in the clinic.
…
Of course people couldn't feel at ease when such a big thing happened in the village.
When Aunt Zhang went to town, they waited for news at the village entrance. During this period, many people started chatting.
"How could a child fall into the water?"
"Yeah, I remember Erhu wasn't the naughty kid who loved playing in the water. He was a very well-behaved child. How could he... Oh, how pitiful! Aunt Zhang Er only had this one child, and he was sickly since childhood. It took a lot of effort to raise him to this day. Now that he's gone, how will she live in the future? I'm really worried that she'll be devastated."
As the crowd was talking, an aunt suddenly said, "I think I saw it."
When everyone looked at her: "What did you see?"
"How did Erhu fall down? I went to the fields today and saw Erhu and Dongdong playing together by the river. Dongdong pushed him several times, and he lost his balance..."
"I didn't, I didn't push him, he fell down by himself!" Dongdong cried and defended himself.
But he was so young and his voice was so soft that the adults almost ignored his words.
People's discussions became louder and louder.
At this time, someone shouted, "Aunt Zhang is back." Everyone looked towards the road and saw Aunt Zhang walking back woodenly, holding a corpse.
No one dared to speak and the air was silent.
It wasn't until they reached the banyan tree that someone whispered, "Aunt Zhang, Erhu was pushed down by Dongdong..."
Aunt Zhang suddenly raised her head.
She had lost her only child and was already in a state of extreme grief and anger, like a powder keg. Those words she whispered were the perfect fuse. She gently placed the body on the ground, then rushed over and tried to strangle Dongdong: "You killed my child. I want you to be buried with Erhu!"
