Chapter 130 Danger
Chapter 130 Danger
"Ow—"
Song Tian wanted to run away in pain, but his uncle Song grabbed him by the collar and started hitting him with bamboo strips.
"Will you tell me where you went?"
"Grandma! Grandma!" Song Tian struggled and tried desperately to run to Li. "I know I was wrong. It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Li was very distressed, but she did not step forward to stop him. Instead, she said, "If it hurts, just tell me. Where did you go to play?"
This fact was so abnormal that they would feel uneasy if they didn't ask about it.
The usual savior did not come to his rescue at this time. Song Tian was completely panicked and burst into tears. "Dad, stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
"If you know you're wrong, just say it!" Li was angry and distressed.
Song Tian still refused to speak and just cried.
Uncle Song swung his bamboo stick more frequently. "If you don't tell me today, I'll beat you to death, you short-lived kid!"
"Grandma! Mom..."
Song Tian cried and shouted until his voice gradually became hoarse, but Uncle Song still didn't stop beating him with bamboo strips.
Seeing this, he finally compromised: "I said! I said, Dad, please stop hitting me, I said it's not enough!"
Uncle Song stopped and glared at him, shouting, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"By the river, we're playing by the river."
Uncle Song raised the bamboo strips and said, "You're lying again, aren't you? The river is so far away. It's only a few steps away. You should be able to crawl back even if you have to!"
"No, it's really by the river."
Li was shocked when she heard this and asked anxiously, "What were you doing by the river? Did you fall into the river?"
When she asked the last question, her heart was in her throat.
Song Tian nodded and then shook his head.
Li was so anxious, "You're nodding and shaking your head, did you fall in or not?"
Song Tian wiped his tears and cried, "It wasn't me, it was Erzhu. He was almost washed away by the current."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Uncle Song asked hurriedly, "Where is Erzhu now?"
"He went back to his house."
Everyone's concerns finally settled down, and Second Uncle Song scolded, "When you speak next time, pick out the important things and say them all in one breath, don't say half of them.
Tell me, what happened? How did Erzhu almost get washed away? Tell me from the beginning!"
Song Tian sobbed and told everything that happened today: "Today I went to change the position of the cow. I thought there was more grass by the river and I could feed it water, so I decided to lead the cow to the river.
When we got to the river, we decided that since it was hot, we should go for some floating…”
Hearing this, Yang slapped Song Tian on the back with her backhand: "You immortal master, what did I tell you? I told you again and again not to go near the water, but you are so brave that you dare to go floating on the water!
If someday a drowned ghost pulls you down to be his substitute, your child will be at peace!"
Li reached out to stop Yang: "Wait until he finishes speaking."
Yang retreated a little according to Li's strength and said sternly, "Keep talking!"
Song Tian wiped away his tears again and continued, “Everything was fine at first, but then it started to rain, and we wanted to come back quickly to harvest the wheat, so we swam to the shore quickly.
Hu Wa and I went ashore, and Er Zhu suddenly had a cramp in his calf, and then he was washed away to the depression by the current. "
The Wachaung was the deepest part of their river, just next to where Song Ying and her friends were washing clothes.
There was a severe drought one year and the water level in the river dropped, exposing many places, but the depression was still bottomless.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat even though they knew Luo Erzhu was fine in the end.
At Luo Erzhu's house next door, there were slapping sounds and Zhou's scolding. "Fairy boss, there are so many places to go but you insist on going to the river. I'm going to beat you to death, you fairy boss!"
Luo Erzhu was also crying and shouting, "Song Tian, you are disloyal. You said you would not tell me!"
Song Tian felt a little ashamed and aggrieved. He didn't want to say anything, but his father's beating was really painful, and his grandmother, who had always protected them, felt that she had to beat him up to teach him a lesson.
If he doesn't say anything, his father will probably beat him to death.
Uncle Song glanced at the next room and saw that Zhou had stopped talking. He knew that she was waiting for the sequel, so he glared at Song Tian and shouted, "Why don't you continue talking while I pour you some tea?"
Song Tian quickly continued: “Hu Wa and I were terrified and quickly looked for sticks, but they were too short to reach.
Later, the river became faster and Erzhu was washed to another place, so Hu Wa and I chased him all the way.
When we chased him to Sanqing Village, the water flow finally slowed down a bit, so we tried to go into the river to save him, but we couldn't catch up with him once we got in.
Finally, we found a clothesline that no one else had collected, and after a long time of trying, we finally managed to throw it to Erzhu, and then we pulled him up. ”
Everyone was frightened after hearing this. If Luo Erzhu had been a little less lucky, he would have died in the river.
Terrified, Second Uncle Song raised a bamboo stick and hit Song Tian with it a few times. "You are a fairy, and I always make trouble when I play tricks on you. If anything happens to Erzhu today, I'll see how you're going to explain it to your Aunt Zhou and the others!"
Zhou from next door rushed to the corner of the courtyard wall, broke off a peach branch from the peach tree that stretched towards the Song family, and started beating Luo Erzhu.
In an instant, the cries of Song Tian and Luo Erzhu rose one after another, each one louder than the last.
After a while, Tian Hu's ghostly howling could be heard again from the other side of the village, also accompanied by accusations against Song Tian.
Obviously, after the Tian family found out that the Song and Luo families beat their children at the same time, they asked the reasons and began to teach Tian Hu a lesson.
Soon, the news spread throughout the village. During dinner, almost every family in the village gave their children instructions:
Don't get close to the water, and don't go floating! It's best not to play with Song Tian and the other two, lest you be led astray.
Song Tian was also inevitably warned, "If you go to the waterside again, I'll break your legs!"
Song Tian knelt on the ground and said quickly: "I promise, I will never go there again!"
Uncle Song then said fiercely: "Get up and eat!"
Song Tian rubbed his sore and numb legs, staggered to his feet, walked into the main room, sat down at the table, and carefully picked up the bowl of rice.
Song Ying drank a mouthful of porridge and said, "Since you like water so much, you can come with me to wash clothes in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li knocked heavily on her bowl, "Eating can't fill your mouth?
What nonsense are you talking about? He got beaten so much today, and you still encouraged him to go to the water. Are you thinking he's lucky that he didn't drown?"
Song Ying curled her lips and said, "He's afraid of drowning when he goes to the river, but I'm not afraid when I go to the river? I can't even float, so I won't even get a bubble if I fall into the river."
Li hesitated for a moment, "You are older than him! Besides, you can't float, so you won't go into the river."
"I went to the river to wash clothes when I was six years old, and you didn't worry that I would fall into the river and drown. He went to the river when he was nine this year, and you were all very worried."
Li slammed the chopsticks onto the table. "If you don't want to eat tonight, go to the yard and kneel down in front of me!"
Song Ying rolled her eyes. Here she goes again.
She didn't say anything else, picked up the bowl and started to drink the porridge.
The Li family and the others would never admit that they were biased, so there was no need to starve themselves just to argue.
