Chapter 117 Rescue
Sun Shan walked out of the house, took a few steps, and wanted to take a look at the He family ancestral hall.
That day, I was really shocked by such an ancient and quaint ancestral hall with carved dragons and painted buildings. In the past life, such a building would have been selected as a "cultural relic protection" area, and it is not surprising that Hejia Village has the title of a 5A scenic spot.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the ancestral hall. The second look was still shocking. There was a sound of reading from inside. Sun Shan wanted to go in and take a look, but he knew that the ancestral hall was forbidden to outsiders, so he had to watch from a distance.
When we arrived at the Feng Shui pond in front of the ancestral hall, we saw colorful koi swimming around. We could only sigh that the He family was really rich. Koi are expensive and difficult to raise.
Walk through the ancestral hall and come to the lotus pond. Although it does not have the magnificent lotus scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou, where "lotus leaves reach the sky and are endless and green", the blooming lotus flowers are also very beautiful.
After looking around for a while, I decided not to go to the dessert shop again, as I was afraid that my family would worry.
Walking along the bank of the lotus pond, Sun Shan suddenly saw a fat boy squatting on the bank of another lotus pond, stretching out his fat hands to pick lotus flowers.
The lotus flowers were very close to the shore, and Fatty stretched out his fat hands several times but couldn't pick them.
Sun Shan wanted to go over and stop them. After all, playing on the shore was quite dangerous.
Before he could get close, Fatty fell into the pool with a "splash". Sun Shan was stunned for a moment. As expected, "Murphy's Law" came into play. The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
Sun Shan kept wondering whether Fatty would fall down, but before he had time to think about it a few times, he fell down.
I quickly walked forward and ran to the shore, only to see Fatty struggling desperately in the water.
Cauldron!
Fatty can't swim!
Sun Shan couldn't swim in this life, but he knew it in his previous life. He didn't know if his swimming skills had declined! He then looked at his small body, and then at Fatty's fat body. Although they were all children, they would definitely not be able to save him if they went down to save him. They would only be dragged into the water by Fatty.
Sun Shan shouted desperately: "Help! Help!"
The lotus pond was empty, with no one in it.
This place is the closest to the ancestral hall, but it takes 10 minutes to run there, and it would be too late to run back and forth. It usually takes 5-10 minutes for a person to die from drowning. If he runs back and forth, Fatty will definitely die.
Sun Shan was shouting for help while thinking of a way out. Suddenly he saw several "floating rings" tied to the bank of the lotus pond. They were life buoys made of gourds tied together in circles.
Sun Shan quickly untied one, tied it to his body with a rope, took another one, ran over, and jumped into the lotus pond.
Since this was the shore, the lotus flowers grew sparsely, resulting in a large area of water, so that Fatty didn't even have a chance to pull the lotus leaf stems.
After Sun Shan jumped down, he did not sink due to the buoyancy of the gourd.
He quickly swam to Fatty and threw the gourd he brought to him, but Fatty struggled so hard that he didn't even notice the gourd.
Sun Shan waited until Fatty had no more strength to struggle, then swam quickly to the back, put his arms through Fatty's armpits, hugged him tightly, and tried his best to keep his head above the water.
I tried hard to get him to pull the gourd. Only when I saw him holding the gourd tightly did I breathe a sigh of relief.
Fatty looked ahead in confusion, then looked at the gourd floating on the water and Sun Shan beside him.
Sun Shan gasped for a long time before his breathing became smoother. This time he saw the fat boy's appearance clearly, and a word emerged in his mind: fat head and big ears.
This face matches this body.
Sun Shan said sternly: "Hold on to the gourd tightly. If you let go, you will drown."
The fat boy was obviously frightened. He looked at Sun Shan with his big eyes innocently, cringed timidly, and held on to the gourd tightly with both hands.
Sun Shan saw that the two people were floating in the water and were in trouble. He wanted to swim to the shore, but Fatty couldn't swim and didn't dare to move. He just held on to the gourd tightly.
Another sentence came: "I'm so tired, my hands can't hold on any longer."
Sun Shan immediately untied the rope tied to his body, tied it to Fatty's body, and told him not to move. Fatty also obeyed and stayed on the water without moving.
After being tied up, Sun Shan was completely exhausted. With his small body and little strength, he could no longer swim and had to cling to the gourd.
Sun Shan said weakly: "Hurry up and shout for help!" He could only rely on his voice to attract others.
Fatty also obeyed and yelled at the top of his voice: "Help! Grandpa, grandma, help! Dad, mom, sister, help!"
Fatty called all his relatives and friends at home.
Sun Shan didn't know anything else, but from what Fatty said, he knew that he had a lot of family members. He called out for a long time but never repeated the same name.
The fat boy was full of energy and shouted for a long time. He was full of strength. Sun Shan looked at him in admiration. What a healthy baby, with bursts of strength.
After shouting for a long time, even the healthiest baby lost his temper. Fatty lowered his head and said, "I'm so tired. I won't shout anymore. Oh, why doesn't anyone come to save us?"
Sun Shan looked at him speechlessly and asked rudely, "What did you do just now?"
The fat boy hesitated and refused to say anything.
Sun Shan said unhappily, "I know, you wanted to pick lotus flowers, and then you fell down."
Fatty looked at Sun Shan in surprise: "How did you know? Did you see me fall?"
Sun Shan hummed, "I wanted to run over and tell you not to pick the lotus flowers, but before I could get there, you fell into the pond. Next time, don't pick lotus flowers randomly and don't walk in the pond."
Fatty blushed and said shyly, "I saw that lotus flower is so beautiful, I want to pick it and give it to my grandma. Oh, she likes lotus flowers so much."
Then he smiled and said, "I like it too. The lotus is so beautiful."
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Because you picked lotus flowers for your grandmother and she fell into the pond and drowned, she must have died of guilt. Don't walk near water in the future, it's dangerous."
Fatty also listened to the advice and hummed. After a short rest, he started shouting again.
After shouting a few times, someone came this time.
A passerby in the distance heard the shouting and ran over quickly. Seeing two children in the lotus pond, he asked in surprise, "How did you get into the pond?"
When Fatty saw someone coming, he said in surprise, "Uncle, help us, please save us!"
The passerby was about to go down to the lotus pond to rescue the man, but then he stopped and said loudly, "Wait a minute, uncle can't swim, go call someone."
Sun Shan looked at the passing uncle's back weakly. He was really a kind uncle, but you can't swim, you should call for help immediately instead of chatting with us. Fortunately, he still had the strength to support himself.
Then a group of people came, they seemed to be students and teachers from the school.
He Shuhan, He Shusheng, and He Shuyao shouted in surprise: "Shanzi, why are you in the pool? Are you swimming in the pool just to have fun?"
The weather is hot, so it's normal for children to play in the water.
The three He brothers thought Shanzi went to the pond to swim to cool off.
Sun Shan didn't want to explain, he just hoped that someone could rescue him quickly, because his physical strength was really running out. If he didn't get ashore, he would probably sink to the bottom of the water and say goodbye to this world.
