Chapter 222 Fish it up
Sanmao quickly swam to Xiaocao'er, grabbed her arm and pulled her to her side. Xiaocao'er felt someone was saving her and hugged Sanmao tightly. Sanmao swam with her to the shore with great effort and finally pushed her ashore.
Xiao Cao coughed and spit out some water. San Mao panted and looked at Xiao Cao who was safe and sound. A big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. "Sister, how do you feel?"
"Third brother, I'm fine." Xiao Cao'er said softly.
On the other side, Qiangzi anxiously took off his coat quickly and covered Xiaocao'er's petite body with it gently and neatly, and shouted anxiously: "Brother Sanmao, hurry up! Hurry and take sister Xiaocao'er home!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to take Sister Xiaocao back home quickly and change her into clean and warm clothes!" The person next to him also echoed.
Sanmao frowned, looked at Xiaocao'er suspiciously, and said in disbelief: "Sister, didn't you say you can swim? I saw that you didn't look like you were acting in the river just now." As he spoke, he reached out and gently touched Xiaocao'er's wet hair.
At this time, Xiao Cao'er was shivering, and said in a weak but firm voice: "I... I'm fine, just a little cold. I can swim, but the water in the river is so cold, jumping in all at once is the normal behavior of falling into the water, okay?" Although she tried her best to appear strong, her pale face and trembling lips betrayed her true physical feelings at the moment.
At this moment, there was a noise in the distance. It turned out to be the villagers who rushed over after hearing the news that someone fell into the water. They all looked nervous and concerned as they ran towards this side.
Yang Dashan was also in the crowd. He took big steps and hurried over to the front. He asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is Xiaocao okay?"
Xiao Cao'er's voice trembled slightly as he said, "Dad, I just saw a lot of fish swimming in the river, and I wanted to catch a few. But the rocks by the river were too slippery, and I lost my balance and fell into the water. But don't worry, Dad, I'm really fine. It's just that the water is too cold, and I'm shivering with cold."
Sanmao, who was standing by, quickly reminded him, "Dad, let's take our sister home and change into clean clothes. If we delay any longer, our sister will definitely catch a cold!"
After hearing this, several other people also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's important to bring the child home first! Don't let the child catch a cold and get sick! Nothing is more important than the grass."
Yang Dashan anxiously picked up the wet and shivering Xiaocao and rushed home as fast as the wind. Qiangzi and several other younger but faster children rushed back to Yang Dashan's home like a whirlwind.
As soon as he entered the house, Qiangzi didn't even have time to catch his breath, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Oh no! Xiaocao'er fell into the water!" This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, and instantly plunged the entire Yang family into chaos.
When Old Lady Yang, who was busy in the house, heard the bad news, she felt black in front of her eyes and her chest seemed to be pressed by a huge rock. She couldn't breathe and her body shook a few times before she fell straight back. Fortunately, Xiaoxing and others who were quick-witted and quick-handed reached out to support her in time, thus avoiding an accident.
At this time, Li was completely panicked. She stood there blankly, her face pale, her lips trembling constantly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Qiangzi quickly came to his senses and began to direct everyone to work together. Some children quickly ran to the kitchen, lit the stove and boiled water; some surrounded Old Lady Yang, pinching her philtrum and rubbing her chest, trying to wake her up as soon as possible; some children held Li's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Auntie, Uncle Dashan has brought Xiaocao back, she will be fine."
For a moment, the Yang family yard was bustling with people, everyone was busy, but everyone's heart was closely concerned about Xiaocao'er's safety.
Not long after, Yang Dashan came back carefully holding Xiao Cao'er. When Li saw them, she immediately showed anxiety on her face and said quickly, "Hurry, hurry, take her to her room! I'll bring in some hot water."
"Mother, please help Xiaocaoer change into clean clothes first, and let Sanmao get some hot water." Yang Dashan said as he gently put Xiaocaoer on the bed.
"Yes, change clothes. You need to change Xiaocao'er's wet clothes first." Li responded, then walked to the bed and started changing Xiaocao'er's clothes.
At this moment, the unconscious old lady Yang slowly opened her eyes and murmured, "What happened to my little grass?"
Sanmao, who was standing nearby, hurried forward to support Old Lady Yang and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry too much! My sister was conscious when we fished her out, and Dad has already taken her back to the house. I'll go get some water to warm up my sister so she can soak for a while, and then I'll ask Xiaoxing and the others to ask a doctor to come over and take a look, just in case!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we must ask a doctor to take a good look! My Xiaocao'er is a precious girl!" Old Mrs. Yang said as she struggled to get up and go into the house to see Xiaocao'er.
