80 Someone Fell into the Water
There were two wells in the village. One was at the east of the village, and the other was in the middle of the village. The one at the east of the village was not far from Old Liu’s house.
Goudan did not stop. “Sister Ah Yu, are you mistaken? That well is very high. How could anyone fall down?”
[I saw it.]
Meatball’s perception range was about half a mile, but if there were some restrictions. It was very difficult for it to sense anything.
If it had to sense those blocked places, Meatball would have to consume even more energy. It did not want to waste it.
Its usual state was enough for it to take care of the little cub.
The well was only 40 to 50 steps away from them, and Meatball happened to sense it.
[Kid, go over quickly. Humans are very fragile. If they fall into the water, they’ll die soon.]
Seeing that Big Brother Goudan did not listen to her, Little Ah Yu struggled to get down.
Goudan was afraid of her falling, so he could only carry her to the well.
“Sister Ah Yu, when you go back, don’t say that I brought you to the well to play. Otherwise, I’ll be beaten to death by Grandpa!”
Previously, there were also children in their village who fell in and unfortunately drowned. From then on, the adults in the village did not allow the children to play by the well, and they even raised the well.
Beside him, Xing Hua said, “Let’s just watch from afar. Don’t get too close.”
She was a little afraid because some of her friends had fallen down and died there. The adults also liked to scare them with ghost stories about the well.
What if a Water Ghost jumped out and captured them?
“Big Brother Goudan, hurry, hurry!” Little Ah Yu was anxious.
It was so uncomfortable to fall into the water. She could not breathe, could not speak, could not even shout for her mother. She only felt light and could not hold on to anything.
[Kid…] Meatball’s heart ached a little. Although the kid no longer had any memories of the past, she still had certain relevant impressions from time to time.
Before the spatial pocket was completely activated, the kid had been pushed into the pool. If not for someone passing by and seeing it, she would have died.
It was also at that time that she stopped growing and became prone to illness.
The only thing was that she did not remember it anymore.
After 40 to 50 steps, Goudan finally arrived.
The well was even taller than Ah Yu and there was a huge rock on it.
But now, the huge rock has been moved away.
Goudan nimbly jumped up and leaned over the well to look in.
“Ahhh, there’s really someone inside!!!” Gou Sheng exclaimed when he saw the person in the well.
“There’s really someone?!”
“What should we do? The well is too deep. We don’t dare to go down.”
The children were anxious and did not know what to do.
[Let the adults do it.]
Little Ah Yu was actually the calmest. She immediately said, “Big Brother Goudan, we need to call the adults over.”
She even slid down from behind Goudan and grabbed Sister Xing Hua, who wanted to save the person. She hugged her with her small hands. “Sister Xing Hua, we’re children. We can’t go. We’ll fall!”
Goudan hurriedly shouted, “Goutou, quick, shout for help!”
Goudan’s voice was the loudest. He immediately shouted, “Help! Someone help! Someone has fallen into the well!”
“Someone fell into the well!”
“Save him!”
Coincidentally, a young man carrying a bucket of feces heard it and immediately ran over.
He saw a few children surrounding the well. As he ran, he shouted, “Aren’t you Old Liu’s children? Who fell in? Didn’t I say not to play by the well!”
He moved quickly. There was a rope and bucket specially used to carry water by the well, and a water pole. He held the water pole in his hand and wanted to use it to save the person.
He jumped onto the well and saw that it was actually a woman inside.
She had already fallen into the well for some time. Her hair was scattered on the water, and she did not struggle.
Whose daughter is this?
Could she have drowned already?!
He couldn’t care less. He immediately threw away the water pole and climbed in along the edge of the well.
The children were still shouting, and the timid Xing Hua and Li Hua were already crying in fear. Little Ah Yu held one sister in each hand.
“Sister Xing Hua, don’t cry. Sister Li Hua, don’t cry. Ah Yu is here. Ah Yu will accompany you.”
Gousheng took the time to turn around and saw this scene. He felt that something was wrong.
The other villagers further away also heard the commotion and ran over.
“Which child fell into the well?” A villager shouted from afar.
Goutou replied, “I don’t know. Brother Chun Sheng went to pull her up!”
Chun Sheng was the young man who jumped into the well at the beginning. After he jumped in, he realized that he had no way of dragging the person out.
Fortunately, the other villagers came. Everyone scrambled around and finally carried her out.
“Aiya, isn’t this the daughter of Old Wu’s family?” Someone recognized the person who fell into the well.
“That’s right. She only came back a few days ago. I heard that she was divorced by her husband’s family. Could she have taken it too hard?”
“This child is really stupid. No matter how difficult it is, she has to keep her life!”
There were also a few bachelors who were a little dissatisfied. “If she can’t live alone anymore, she could have come to us. We can still live together. Why does she have to jump into a well?”
“That’s right. How can we drink this water after she jumped into the well? She’d better not be dead!”
The last time that a child drowned in the well, everyone did not dare to drink the water in this well for months.
Although everyone said that, they still remembered to try to save the girl.
An old woman pulled a few banana leaves from the side and covered the girl who had fallen into the water. A few robust women carried her to the doctor in the village.
However, whether she could be saved was another matter.
Little Ah Yu stuck her head out and wanted to follow.
[She’s not dead. She’s still alive. Don’t waste the myriad spirit water.] Meatball hurriedly said.
Little Ah Yu stopped looking.
She did not really want to give out the water, but if that aunt was about to die, she would still give it to her.
If a person died, there would be nothing left.
But there would always be more water.
“Ah Yu! Ah Yu!” Madam Liu’s panicked voice came from outside.
Wang Chuanman also pushed through the crowd. His face was pale and his head was covered in sweat. He looked left and right. “Ah Yu, where’s our Ah Yu?”
Little Ah Yu, who was protected in the middle by her siblings, waved her hand and bounced her legs, trying her best to let her father and mother see her head. “Father, Mother, here. Ah Yu is here!”
Liu Shi finally saw Ah Yu. She rushed over and hugged her, her entire body trembling.
“Ah Yu, you scared me to death!”
Liu Shi was in the house at the time when the shouting started. Just as she was about to take out the silver and return it to the Qin family, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. She saw many people running towards the shouts.
Her second brother, who was outside, only heard something about Old Liu’s child falling into the well.
The Liu family was terrified and ran over. Liu Shi was actually the fastest.
Wang Chuanman was two steps behind her.
The person who fell into the water was saved, and the children were brought back to the Liu family.
Old Liu frowned tightly and paced around the central room. He was as angry as an old bull with a snorting nose. “What are you doing by the well? Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed to go by the well? How dare you bring your sister over! None of you are allowed to eat today. Kneel outside!”
“We’re not going to the well. It’s Ah Yu. ah Yu wanted us to go to the well,” Goudan said.
Liu Shi’s eyes were still red. Just as she was about to lower her head to ask Little Ah Yu, she heard Xing Hua say, “Sister Ah Yu asked us to go over and save the person. She saw someone fall into the well.”
