Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 271 Falling into the water

The place where Song Chunxiao fell was closest to the shore, so he was the first to jump to the shore. Looking at his brothers in the water and the bad woman, Song Chunxiao glared at Zhou Daya hatefully, but still found a thin branch nearby and handed it to Song Chunming who was closest to him.

When Song Chunming came up, Li Gensheng also swam to the shore. He stood in the water, pointed at Zhou Daya who was getting farther and farther away from the shore and asked the other two.

"What should she do?"

Song Chunming said coldly: "Let her wait, we will go find the adults."

Li Gensheng thought that it was this person who made them fall into the river just now, and he was feeling angry, so he agreed with Song Chunming's words.

Song Chunming was quick on his feet, so he ran home to get help. Li Gensheng and Song Chunxiao stayed by the river, looking for something that could save people.

Li Gensheng found a longer branch, and they walked to the shallow water and tried their best to pass the branch to Zhou Daya.

Zhou Daya was already exhausted at this time. Facing the branch in front of her, she reached out and grabbed it without hesitation. Almost at the moment she grabbed it, Li Gensheng and Song Chunxiao were almost dragged into the river again by her strength.

Zhou Daya looked at the two children who seemed unable to hold her back. Her previous attempt to harm them failed, and now she had another idea. She wanted to drag both children into the river. Since she couldn't live, these two little beasts had to die with her!

With the idea of dying together, Zhou Daya was still pulling hard at the branch in the water. Li Gensheng and Song Chunxiao initially thought that she was being swept away by the river, but Li Gensheng quickly realized that this woman seemed to want to pull them into the water with her.

At this moment, he felt a chill on his back and was hesitating whether to let go or not. At this moment, Song Chunming, who had gone back to get help, finally came back with his men.

"Here, Dad, they're here!"

It was getting dark and the men lit torches. Song Chunming didn't find anyone at the place where he first fell into the water. After walking for a while, he saw Li Gensheng who was almost in the middle of the river. Song Chunxiao was holding Li Gensheng's belt tightly and refused to let go. He was afraid that if he let go, Li Gensheng would be dragged under.

Only when she saw the adults had arrived did Song Chunxiao burst into tears.

"Dad, brother, I'm scared!"

"Dad is here, don't be afraid!" Song Dazhuang's heart tightened when he heard his youngest son crying. Song Dahao beside him also looked anxious. The adults who followed saw that Li Gensheng was still holding on to the branch, so they quickly jumped into the river and took the branch from his hand. Some of them swam towards Zhou Daya in the water.

Li Gensheng and Song Chunxiao were carried back to the shore by their father. Song Chunxiao was still crying, while Li Gensheng's face was pale and his body was a little weak from pulling Zhou Daya for a long time.

Song Dahe checked him carefully from head to toe and found that he was cold all over and his hands and feet were still trembling slightly. He quickly took off his coat and put it on him.

The clothes with body temperature covered his body, dispelling a trace of chill, and then an even warmer embrace wrapped him up. Li Gensheng lay on Song Dahao's broad shoulders, and his clumsy coaxing voice was still in his ears.

"Okay, stop crying. Everything is fine now. Let's go home."

Song Chunxiao was still sobbing in Song Daha's arms, and Song Chunming was comforting him. Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue stood on the shore and watched Zhou Daya being dragged ashore. After soaking in the water for so long, Zhou Daya choked on a lot of water, but she was still conscious.

The two men frowned as they looked at the person who was coughing on the ground. They both felt that the other person looked familiar. They looked at each other and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

"you know?"

"She looks familiar. Let me confirm it." Song Chunlin walked forward and stood in front of Zhou Daya. He found that her body immediately became stiff and her head was lowered even lower. This reaction further confirmed his thoughts.

Here, Song Dazhuang and Song Dahao were about to leave with their three children, but Gu Fengyue stopped them.

"Wait a minute, uncle, let's first listen to what Chunming and the others have to say about why they all fell into the water when they were just watching the waterwheel."

Everyone reacted at this time. Song Chunming only said that they fell into the water when they were watching the waterwheel, but he did not say how they fell into the water. Moreover, three people fell into the water together. Even the woman on the ground was obviously not from this village. How could she fall into the water with them?

Song Chunxiao recovered by then. He pointed at Zhou Daya lying on the ground and complained to the adults around him, "It's all because of her, this bad woman. My brothers and I were standing on the shore watching the waterwheel, and she came over and said she had never seen such a big waterwheel, and wanted to join in the fun. As a result, when she got close to us, she pushed us overboard. Woohoo, dad, she is a bad person, arrest her quickly."

Hearing Song Chunxiao's crying, Zhou Daya, who had been pretending to be a quail, subconsciously retorted: "You are talking nonsense, you little bastard. I was standing on the shore watching you three children. There was no adult around. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came over to kindly remind you. But you said that I pushed you over. I almost lost my life trying to save you. How dare you make up such a story about me? You are really ungrateful, bah!"

After hearing what the woman said, Song Chunlin reacted slowly. The other party was actually Zhou Daya. However, the Zhou family's village was not in this direction, and the Zhou family was very far away from here. Besides, Zhou Daya would not be so kind as to save Song Chunxiao and the others. It was obvious that this woman was lying.

But people around did not all think so. Some even thought that the child fell into the water because he was playing and lied that he was pushed into the water because he was afraid of being beaten. There were many different opinions at the time.

Seeing that some people did not believe him, Song Chunxiao became so anxious that he was about to cry again. Song Chunming and Li Gensheng also stood up and pointed out that it was Zhou Daya who pushed them into the water.

"Everyone, the person on the ground is obviously not from our village. I saw her wandering around the waterwheel during the day. Imagine if you had seen the waterwheel during the day, why did you come here again when it was getting dark? Also, you kept saying that you almost died saving us, but until I brought the adults here, my brother and his men were still holding you with branches, and they almost got swept away by the river again because of holding you. If you say you are repaying kindness with enmity, then you are not right."

Song Chunming's explanation in a few words was very clear and logical. Although he did not mention Zhou Daya by name and said that it was Zhou Daya who pushed them down, every word he said raised the doubts in everyone's mind.

"That's right. She can't swim at all. If the two children hadn't held her tightly, she would have drowned. How can this be called repaying kindness with enmity?"

"The Song family kid probably didn't lie. It's ok for her to be a stranger just to watch the fun, but she still hasn't left at this hour. There's probably something fishy going on."

Zhou Daya's heart was in a mess as she listened to everyone's discussions. She felt that she must insist that this matter had nothing to do with her, otherwise the Song family would never let her go.

At this time, not only Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue recognized Zhou Daya, but Song Dazhuang and Song Dahao also began to wonder, why did this girl's voice sound familiar?

Song Dazhuang took a few steps forward with his son in his arms and said to Zhou Daya on the ground in a deep voice: "Who are you and what do you want to do in our village?"

Zhou Daya lowered her head and didn't dare to look Song Dazhuang in the eye. When everyone saw her guilty look, they began to believe what the three children said a little more.

"This...sister-in-law? Tell me, whose relative are you? Why are you not going home so late at night? What do you want to do in our village?"

"Why aren't you talking? You were crying loudly just now, why are you silent now?"

"Hey, don't be too guilty, is it possible that what Song Chunxiao just said was true?"

"Oh my god, they didn't let any of the kids go. Take her to the authorities!"

"No!" When Zhou Daya heard that she was going to be arrested and taken to see the officials, she became panicked and kept shouting that she was innocent.

"I am innocent. I didn't push them. These little bastards are lying. These little beasts are trying to frame me!"

Song Chunlin felt uncomfortable when he heard her calling her a little beast, so he stepped forward and kicked the person over.

"Try to curse me again? Zhou Daya, do you really think I won't expose you?"

"Who?"

"Zhou Daya, it's you. I was wondering why this voice sounded so familiar. It's you again! Last time you came to our house on New Year's Day and caused bad luck, we didn't bother with you. But you came again today. Why are you as disgusting as a troublemaker?"

Song Dazhuang was so angry that he didn't want to stay any longer, and said directly to Gu Fengyue: "Take her to the authorities, and we will end this relationship. I will talk to Ning Ge'er."

After saying this, Song Dazhuang left angrily with his son in his arms. Seeing this, Song Dahe also took Li Gensheng away. The rest of the villagers wanted to stay and watch the fun.

Zhou Daya on the ground yelled at the top of her lungs: "I didn't, you can't arrest me, I didn't push them!"

Gu Fengyue walked forward with an impatient look on his face and subdued the man. He called the secret guards and tied Zhou Daya up.

Even at this point, Zhou Daya was still swearing and cursing. When she saw that she was really tied up, she began to cry and complain about her miserable life.

"My life is so miserable! My poor son is only five months old, and his mother has been tortured into confessing by a group of bullies. Oh, heaven and earth..."

When the secret guard saw that his master looked unhappy, he immediately took out a towel and covered the man's mouth.

Zhou Daya's mouth was stuffed with a sweat towel full of sweat odor, and she was almost vomiting from the odor. The secret guard quickly covered her mouth, making her unable to make any sound.

Gu Fengyue said coldly: "Just send her to Jingzhao Prefecture, and say that she intends to murder the brother of the national archer, and let her and her good husband accompany her on the road."

When Zhou Daya heard that Gu Fengyue was going to kill her, she struggled even more violently. However, she was no match for those secret guards and was held down, unable to move. She could only be dragged away from the river bank by them.

Gu Fengyue walked up to Song Chunlin and asked him for credit: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the result?"

Song Chunlin didn't feel anything, he was just angry that this man kept challenging his family's bottom line.

"It would be too easy for her to die directly. Isn't there a way to banish her to a remote frontier? Just banish her three thousand miles away and she won't be able to come back forever."

Gu Fengyue thought, your punishment might as well be to let her die directly, but he didn't say anything on the surface. He just quietly asked the secret guards to make sure Zhou Daya didn't die easily. At least she had to suffer a little before dying.

Zhou Daya didn't know the tragic fate she was about to face. She felt a little regretful at this moment. She regretted that she couldn't kill those little beasts so that she wouldn't be lonely on her way to the underworld.

On the other side, Song Chunxiao and others returned to the Song family. The Song family took the child to wash and groom him out of pity. Song Chunxiao didn't cry much at this time, but his eyes were red and his eyelids were swollen, looking so pitiful.

Song Chunming looked fine, but he was a little tired from running back and forth. After soaking in the warm water, he felt a little drowsy.

Song Qin took her two sons out of the bathtub, dried them and changed them into clean clothes. Song Chunming was ten years old this year and felt a little embarrassed.

"Mom, I'll do it myself."

"Oh, well, Chunming is a big boy now, and he knows how to be shy."

"Third brother, you're shameless!" Song Chunxiao complained mercilessly. The two brothers immediately started fighting again. Seeing that they were in high spirits to fight, Song Qinshi felt relieved. She was really afraid that the two children would suffer from some psychological trauma or something. When the time comes, she will definitely skin Zhou Daya alive and tear out her tendons herself.

Song Chunming and Song Chunxiao had taken care of the situation, but Li Gensheng had a fever. Chen Yuer discovered this when she was getting clean clothes for her son. Li Gensheng was soaking in hot water with red cheeks. Chen Yuer touched him and found that he had a fever. She immediately called Song Daha over, pulled her son out of the water, dried his body, and stuffed him into a quilt without even putting on any clothes.

Song Dahe asked Chen Yuer to look after his son while he went to find medicine for the child. Chen Yuer thought he was going to see Doctor Wang and asked him to bring some money with him, but Song Dahe said no.

He went to the next room and found Song Chunlin to explain his purpose. Song Chunlin signaled him not to be anxious, then took people to a deserted place, found antipyretic medicine from the space, and poured him a cup of spiritual spring water.

"Give him some water first. If his fever doesn't subside in half an hour, give him another antipyretic pill. Remember, he can only take one pill."

Song Daha said he remembered it, and hurried back to his home with water and medicine. He first fed Li Gensheng a mouthful of spiritual spring water. After Li Gensheng drank the spiritual spring water, his complexion immediately became a little better.

"Wait half an hour for this medicine. If the child still has a fever after half an hour, give it to him."

Chen Yuer nodded repeatedly and did not ask where Song Dahao got such a small pill. She only had her son in her mind. Seeing her like this, Song Dahao didn't know how to persuade her, so he just stood up silently, came to the workshop, and got some food for the family of three.

Because the three children fell into the water, only Grandpa Song and Song Dazhuang were left to entertain the guests. Song Chunsheng and his wife were busy serving the guests, and even Gu Fengyue was drafted into the army.
