Rebirth Delay

"It's not good! Help!" A child yelled and rushed into the backyard of Sun Xiu's house. Just as Sun Xiu was startled by Xiaohu's movement and came to the backyard, he heard the child's panic-stricken cry, "A child fell into the ice hole !"

Sun Xiu felt a sudden cold sweat on his body, strode up to meet him, and grabbed the child, "Hong Fei, who fell into the ice hole?"

"There are two children, one doesn't know, doesn't know each other!" Hong Fei was startled, and said in a panic, "Xu Ze also fell in! Brother Shi Yan went to save someone!"

Tang Jing walked to the door, and upon hearing this sentence, her legs gave way and she almost fell down.This group of children often play together, how could they not know each other?Except for the rare one at home, it is rare to go back to Anxi once!When Jiejie got here, he had no other playmates except Xu Ze, and Xu Ze fell in, who else could be with him besides Jiejie? !

Sun Xiu hurriedly supported her, and shouted into the courtyard, "Old Tang! Old Tang!"

Tang Anmin rushed out of the door. Sun Xiu held Tang Anmin with one hand and Tang Jing with the other, and followed Hong Fei who was running back, "A child fell into a hole in the ice, one of them was Ozawa, and I don't know if the other is Ozawa. Jay, go check it out!"

Tang Anmin's face darkened, he shook off Sun Xiu's hand and ran to the front yard. "You two go first, I'll take the rope! Call some people!"

The footsteps of the mother and daughter were a little flustered, and their faces were pale.On the road, acquaintances greeted each other without even thinking about responding. Apart from the idea of ​​seeing the children as soon as possible and confirming their safety, there was no other voice heard.

Against the wind, Hong Fei crossed his legs and ran quickly. While running, he looked back at Sun Xiu and Tang Jing, who were supporting each other and trying to keep up, with an anxious and helpless expression, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" Cold wind, coughing while covering his throat, but the speed under his feet did not slow down.

The journey was not far, but the anxious mother and daughter felt as if they had walked for several 10 minutes.

They rushed up to Xiaohedui in one breath, but the scene in front of them made the two of them fly out of their wits.

Her grandson, her son, only had half of his head floating in the hole in the ice that was as thick as a person!The little face they were familiar with was already blue from the cold, and the eyes were frighteningly white!

"Jiejie!" Pushing aside the children in front of them, Sun Xiu and Tang Jing rushed down towards Xiaohedui together!

"Don't move!" Shi Yan yelled, and hit the two of them hard with a wooden stick with a thick wrist in his hand.

The two couldn't help but looked at Shi Yan together, but the threatening coldness and warning in those eyes were as sharp and dangerous as a blade!

"Jiejie!" The child was about to drown!freeze to death!The two women were not afraid of Shi Yan's gaze, they waved away the wooden sticks, and were about to rush towards the ice!No one can stop them from saving their children!

Shi Yan pushed the wooden stick, and the force collided with the force of the two women. Sun Xiu and Tang Jing both fell back and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Tang Jing was hysterical.

Shi Yan didn't care about him.He stepped on the ice with one foot, but his center of gravity fell on the other foot, otherwise the force just now would have been enough to crack the ice.

"Can't go down!" Sun Hongyan looked at Tang Jing and rushed in again, hugging her waist, "The ice will crack, and Xu Ze will fall into the ice hole!"

A child like Sun Hongyan couldn't compare to the strength of an adult. She failed to hold Tang Jing, but was dragged down by Tang Jing a few steps.

At this moment, a big hand that came in suddenly grabbed Tang Jing's wrist and threw her back!

Tang Jing's body turned back involuntarily, and then she met a pair of deep eyes, it was her father Tang Anmin!

"You see clearly!" Tang Anmin roared, "The ice can't support your weight, the first thing you go down is to kill Xiaojie, and the second one is Ozawa!"

There was a thunderbolt in Tang Jing's ear, and sparks seemed to explode in her eyes.She rubbed her eyes vigorously, trying to maintain her composure, and looked towards the river.

Zhou Jie floated up and down, and was about to be covered by ice water, but a stick was firmly clamped on both sides of the ice hole.Every time Zhou Jie tried to raise his neck, his chin just hit the stick, allowing him to keep breathing.

And beside him, on the thin layer of ice, a small figure was lying there, trying to stretch out both hands, holding one end of the wooden stick.

Shi Yan and Tang Anmin looked at each other and nodded.

Xu Ze lay motionless on the ice, not because he was frozen, but because Shi Yan had heard the sound of the ice breaking under him long ago, and prevented him from getting up.It is estimated that if it moves a little more, that piece of ice will be completely broken.At that time, not only Zhou Jie will fall into the water, but also Xu Ze!

With a rope wrapped around their waists, Tang Anmin and Shi Yan both stood on the ice.

On the opposite side of the small river is a high embankment that is nearly at a right angle. If a person slides directly down, the momentum is likely to break the ice layer, so he can only choose to detour from this side to the other side.

Fortunately, within a few steps there were two thick, black pipes side by side. The ice layer under the pipes did not see sunlight, and was harder and stronger than other places. Tang Anming walked carefully and steadily from the ice to the other side.The ice on the side was thicker, so he walked to the other side and let go of his pace.

Time delay tentatively approached Xu Ze from the thinner ice layer on this side.

At this time, Xu Ze was still encouraging Zhou Jie to speak, telling him that Uncle Tang is here, and your grandfather is here to save you!Your mother is here to save you too, hold on!

The heavy clothes dragged Zhou Jie down a little bit, but he could feel a buzzing sound in his ears in his hazy consciousness. He struggled to breathe, and then there seemed to be a big rock under his feet, and his feet were frozen stiff , but the toes still borrowed a little bit of support.

Xu Ze's face was also pale from the cold, and the ice surface that was close at hand reflected a cold light on his face.

Shi Yan slammed his calf, concentrated all his strength on his arms, and dragged him back violently, throwing him on the ice on the shore.Immediately, a man came down hand in hand, carried Xu Ze up, and wrapped him in a thick cotton coat.

The ice cracked and shattered, and Shi Yan fell half of his body into the water with a bang, and soon the water covered his neck.

The stick was not supported by ice and floated on the water.Zhou Jie was completely submerged in the icy water, his whole head was submerged in the icy water.

Tang Jing held Sun Xiu's hand, and her nails dug into Sun Xiu's palm.Sun Xiu didn't realize it, and stared at the water surface dully.

The shocked crowd realized that Shi Yan was only wearing a close-fitting shirt, and the person on the shore with a rope tied around his waist quickly pulled Shi Yan to the surface of the water.

Shi Yan pounced suddenly, and the water surface splashed quite a bit.

Shi Yan and Tang Anmin dived into the icy water together, one grabbed Zhou Jie's arm, and the other grabbed Zhou Jie's neck.The men and women immediately exerted force, and the ice on the shore was almost smashed by the wooden sticks, and the rope tied around the waist of the two was stretched straight, as if it would break in a second.Shi Yan and Tang Anmin held Zhou Jie close to the shore by pulling force.

Finally climbed to the shore!

Sun Xiu and Tang Jing rushed over immediately and took off Zhou Jie's coat.Zhou Jie was already frozen like an ice cube at this time, and his breathing was very weak.

After Zhou Jie was wrapped in a thick coat, Tang Anmin picked him up and strode home, followed by Tang Jing.

Sun Xiu's eyes struggled between her grandson and Xu Ze, and finally chose to stay and take care of Xu Ze.

Shi Yan took off the autumn clothes with icy edges on them, put on a sweater, but buttoned the down jacket on Xu Ze.

Sun Xiu, who rushed over from Shi Yan, shook his head, "Ma'am, go and see Zhou Jie, he's not in good condition, we need to warm him up as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, the aunt will go back first." Sun Xiu nodded, and hurriedly followed Tang Anmin and Tang Jing in front of her.

Shi Yan kept rubbing Xu Ze's hands and face with his hands, trying to provide him with a little heat as much as possible, trying to restore blood to that pale face.

"Brother?" Xu Ze yelled, with a disconsolate expression on his face.

Shi Yan knew that he was not only frozen, but also probably frightened.He simply carried him on his shoulder and rushed into their small courtyard.The children followed them, not daring to breathe, looking at Xu Ze with his head down, with a look of wanting to cry.

Stepping into the campus, when all the children walked into the house, Shi Yan closed the door behind him.

When I left, the fire was still burning, and the steam of hot water on the stove was rattling the lid of the pot.There was warmth in the room.

Shi Yan took off Xu Ze's coat and stuffed it directly into the quilt.I filled the hot water bottle, stuffed it into the quilt, and pressed a few cotton clothes into the quilt.

Seeing the red noses of the children in the quiet room, Shi Yan hastily poured water.The children didn't dislike it either, and took bowls and tea mugs to drink one by one, and quickly recovered their complexions.

Shi Yan barely suppressed the chaotic heartbeat, "Xu Ze is fine, and Zhou Jie will be fine too. Go home first, and remember not to go to the river again. It's too dangerous, okay?"

Hong Fei pursed his lips and muttered, "Obviously Zhou Jie insisted on going in the middle..."

"Okay." Shi Yan smiled at him, "Everyone go back and let mom cook some ginger soup, okay? During the Chinese New Year, don't get sick. If you catch a cold, you can't go out to play."

"Okay—" The children answered slowly, and then opened the door and went out one after another.

The footsteps faded away.

The room suddenly fell silent, except for the slight sizzling sound of burning coal balls in the stove.

Xu Ze didn't sleep all this time, lying quietly under the quilt, most of his face was covered by the quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes, staring at Shi Yan in bewilderment.

Shi Yan sat by the bed, buried his face in his hands, and never looked back.

For a long time, for a long time.

"Brother." Xu Ze called cautiously.

"Huh?" Shi Yan's voice came from the palm of his hand, muffled.

"Brother, are you angry?" Xu Ze looked aggrieved and scared.

"No." Time delay shook his head.

"Brother, look at me." Xu Ze stretched out his hand and tugged at Shi Yan's clothes.

Time delay did not move.

"Brother?" Xu Ze called out again, but this time the voice was weak, like a kitten meowing.

Time delay still hangs his head.

"Brother..." There was a trill in the child's tone.

When Shi Yan turned his head slowly, Xu Ze grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands, only showing his eyes.But in the eyes that were always lively and angry, looking at him with joy and attachment, tears trickled down.

And Shi Yan's eye sockets were also bloodshot and red.

He raised his hand as if to touch Xu Ze's face.But the hand was raised in the air, but it never fell.

The emotions in the elder brother's eyes were too complicated and deep.

Xu Ze tried his best to distinguish, but he couldn't see through anything except distress.But that's enough.Xu Ze stretched out his hand, and took Shi Yan's hand and landed on his face.Shi Yan's hands were a little rough, and the calluses rubbed against his cheeks, and it was hard and painful, but the familiar warmth made Xu Ze close his eyes comfortably.

Hot tears ran across his fingertips, Shi Yan retracted his hand slightly, but Xu Ze seemed to feel it, and held on tightly.

This seemed to be the first time Xu Ze was so tough.

"Ozawa..." Shi Yan's hand stroked Xu Ze's forehead, ears, cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, and finally landed on the corner of Xu Ze's eyes.

Xu Ze opened his eyes and looked at Shi Yan intently.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

"Xu Ze..." The tears in Shi Yan's eyes finally hit the quilt without any scruples, and he beat the bed board with his fists. Shi Yan pulled Xu Ze up like crazy, and hugged him tightly in his arms. There seemed to be a chained beast frantically trying to break free, "I will never lose you again! I will never watch you die in front of me again! Xu Ze! Xu Ze! Don't even die! want to leave me!"
