Chapter 61: Life-saving Gourd
Wen Hengyin also sensed something was wrong and followed the deer in pursuit.
During the busy farming season, there are not many people in the village. People either go to the fields to harvest wheat, or they cook at home and send it to the fields.
Youyou ran very fast with four hooves, and soon saw a woman in front of her holding Xiaojie and Xiaowu in her arms.
Xiaojie Dawu was obviously unhappy, struggling and crying.
“Stop!” Yingbao shouted, slapping Yoyo hard, urging it to go faster.
The woman looked back, immediately dropped Xiao Wu, who was the most difficult to deal with, and ran away holding Xiaojie in her arms.
Ying Bao rushed to Xiao Wu, glanced back, saw Wen Hengyin following him from a distance, and immediately shouted: "Wen Hengyin, please take care of my brother!"
Speaking, he urged the deer to chase the woman.
Wen Hengyin probably understood what was going on. He ran to Xiao Wu, picked up the crying little Douding, and looked at the direction where Ying Bao disappeared. He knew that he could not catch up, so he turned around and ran back.
Sigh, he was just feeding Ahua. He didn't want to encounter bad guys stealing the child, so he had to find an adult quickly to rescue Yingbao and her brother.
He held Xiao Wu in his arms and ran all the way, panting heavily from exhaustion. Suddenly he saw a villager coming, and immediately shouted: "Auntie! Someone is stealing a child. Go to Jiang's house and call someone to save them!"
The person who came was Wang Ke's daughter-in-law. She was about to deliver food to the fields. When she heard this, she immediately ran to Jiang's house and shouted: "Come quickly! Someone has stolen the child!"
…
Yingbao chased her all the way to the Chuanhe River, and was about to catch up. Suddenly, the woman turned her head and smiled coldly, and threw the child out of her hand with all her strength.
“Xiaojie!”
Ying Bao's eyes were about to burst, and he had no time to fight with the woman, so he chased Xiaojie downstream in the water.
Because it had just rained recently, the current in the river was relatively fast, so Xiaojie was carried far away in a short time.
Yingbao urged Youyou to chase downstream, watching Xiaojie's red coat floating in the water, her mind was buzzing, but her heart was sober.
no! You must rush to stop Xiaojie in front of the current. If you continue to chase him like this, a wave will make him sink to the bottom of the river.
Yingbao slapped Yoyo hard to make her run faster. When he was ahead of Xiaojie, he jumped off the deer's back and ran quickly to the river. Regardless of the gap in the river bank, he jumped in.
At the moment of falling into the water, Yingbao released a gourd vine with two large gourds attached to it.
After entering through the water, I subconsciously held my breath, and my small body was pulled out of the water by the gourd vines.
She grabbed the gourd vine with one hand, wrapped it around her body, and swam towards Xiaojie with all her strength.
She knew how to light a dog paddle in her last life, but she didn't forget it now. She stopped in front of Xiaojie and finally caught him.
Yingbao hugged Xiaojie and rested his head and face on the thin waist of the gourd.
I wanted to put Xiaojie on the thin waist of the gourd and let him ride on it, but the big gourd would roll in the water and couldn't carry people at all.
And she could not control the erratic gourd, and could only watch herself and her brother drift downstream.
It’s over, she and her brother can’t get ashore.
Looking back, I vaguely saw Youyou running after them, non-stop.
Yingbao in the river was holding her younger brother and being carried by the gourd, drifting further and further away, and soon she couldn't see Yoyo's figure anymore.
Xiaojie in his arms was breathing calmly and his chest was rising and falling. Even if he closed his eyes tightly and didn't open them, he didn't know if he was asleep.
Ying Bao was slightly relieved. She held him with one hand and held the gourd tightly with the other to prevent herself and her brother from sinking into the water.
I don’t know how long it has been floating, but the water surface has become wider and the current has become much gentler.
After taking a breath, Ying Bao kicked her legs hard and swam towards the shore.
After struggling for a long time, when Yingbao was exhausted, he finally floated to the shallows. Yingbao ate a handful of Wudingzhi and regained some strength. Yingbao dragged her younger brother to the shore.
The two big gourds were also entangled in the weeds on the shore and did not float down.
He turned his brother over and controlled the water. He took off his wet clothes and took out a piece of his own thick clothes from the cave to wrap his brother.
After that, I fed him some Wuding Zhiye, and then I lay flat on the ground, looking up at the blue sky, my eyes distracted.
I don’t know how long she had been lying there, but Youyou ran over and kept touching her with her mouth to get her up.
But she couldn't move, couldn't even lift her hands.
At this time, someone was running towards this side.
Ying Bao glanced at it but didn't see who it was.
“Bao’er!” Jiang Sanlang ran over like crazy. When he saw the two children lying silently on the river beach, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.
"Baoer! Xiaojie!" Jiang Sanlang knelt down on the gravel, picked up Yingbao, and then picked up his son Xiaojie. He held them tightly in his arms, and his tears couldn't stop falling.
The man in his thirties was choked with sobs and could not speak. His son was still warm to the touch and his chest was heaving, which made him feel a little relieved.
Try the girl's breathing again, and there is air flow across her fingers, and the other half of her heart also falls to the ground.
But he couldn't control his ups and downs, so he burst into tears, crying at the top of his lungs.
A few more villagers came over. Seeing Jiang Sanlang like this, they thought the two children were gone. They were so sorry that they didn't even notice the two strange big gourds not far away.
At this time, Jiang Erlang also ran over and took out his little nephew from the arms of his crying third brother. He found that the little nephew was still alive, so he quickly squeezed him and squeezed water.
Xiaojie was awakened by the pressure, opened his eyes and started crying.
“Oh, this child is crying. It’s okay. It’s okay.” Everyone was pleasantly surprised: “God bless you.”
Ying Bao also regained his composure, raised his finger and pointed at the villagers who were about to move, "You guys, don't move! That gourd is mine."
Several villagers had already seen the gourd on the shore and were about to go over to check it out. When they heard this, they laughed and said, "We didn't move, we just want to help you drag it up. Hey, what kind of gourd is this? It's so big."
“It must have been this gourd that saved the child. Ouch, the little fairy boy really had a different reaction and even summoned such a magical gourd.”
Yingbao:…
Can she say that these people are too smart?
It was so scary that even her bottom was shaken off.
Next, the villagers carried two big gourds, Jiang Sanlang held his little girl, and Jiang Erlang held his nephew, and quickly returned to the village.
At this time, a large group of people gathered in front of Jiang Sanlang's house. The woman who stole the child had her hands tied behind her back and was kneeling on the ground.
Mrs. Jiang Liu slapped her hard in the mouth, pulled her hair and shook her back and forth, crying and cursing: "You are a murderer, my child provoked you and you want to hurt him? If they have any good intentions, I will beat you to death." Beast…”
The kneeling woman's face was bruised and swollen, and her mouth was bleeding. She sneered at the Jiang family: "Why should my son be dragged to death, while yours should live well? If Jiang Sanlang hadn't been so ruthless, my donkey son How can I send it to the barracks?"
“Fart!” Jiang Dalang scolded angrily: “Your donkey will be drafted into the army even if he is at home. It is my Jiang family’s fault that you are mentally ill.”
Chief Chen and Chen Sanyou also came. They pushed aside the crowd and came to the woman, gritting their teeth and angrily yelling:
“You vicious woman! We, Mrs. Chen, have all been embarrassed by you!”
The patriarch turned to Chen Sanyou and said:
“Send her back to Li Zheng, and she will be sentenced as she pleases. Any one of you can call her family over. We, the Chen family, cannot afford such a vicious woman.
Where is Chen Ergou? Call him here, and if he is an accomplice, send him to the court together. If he doesn't know, let him write a letter of divorce and divorce this ignorant and stupid woman first! "
