Chapter 167: Severe Reprimand
After leaning half of her body into the hole, Zhang Qing grabbed the hole with one hand and stretched out the other hand, wanting to take the child over.
It's just that the child refused to cooperate, trying his best to avoid Zhang Qing, a stranger.
"Good baby. Zhang Qing whispered softly to soothe, without shelter, the torrential rain drenched her in an instant, and the rain flowed down her face, blurring her vision.
She tried her best to soften her voice: "Baby, come up with your sister first, you come up, and your mother can come up, okay?"
"Sister, there is sugar candy here, you come up, will my sister give you candy to eat?"
Perhaps it was because sugar was particularly attractive to children, and the little guy was not so resistant to Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing saw the right time, reached out and grabbed him, and with the other arm, he carried him out of the manhole.
"Thank you, thank you......" The child's mother cried and thanked her below.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll pull you up. ”
"No, no, you can't pull me," the woman hurriedly stopped, "Please help me take care of the baby first, don't pull me, I, I'll wait for someone to save ...... You can help me see if there are any other adults around......"
"There's no one around. Zhang Qing wiped the rain on her face, perhaps because this corner is relatively remote, coupled with the heavy rain, the pedestrians on the road are busy hiding from the rain, and no one noticed the abnormality here.
"Uh......h What then......" The woman began to cry again.
"Auntie, how much do you weigh?"
"What, what?" Zhang Qing's question made the woman stunned.
"I said how much do you weigh?" Zhang Qing raised her voice and shouted.
"More than ninety pounds ......" The woman didn't understand what Zhang Qing was asking for, but she still replied.
Zhang Qing held the child in her arms and tried her best to help him block some wind and rain, and said loudly: "I have a lot of strength, I can carry two hundred catties of things, don't worry, I will definitely be able to pull you up." ”
"I know you're kind......" The woman refused to believe it, yes, a teenage girl can carry two hundred pounds, and no one dares to believe it.
"Auntie, you believe me. ”
Zhang Qing put the child aside, told him not to move, leaned down, and prepared to pull the woman up.
"What nonsense!" suddenly came a scolding in his ears, and in the next moment, his body was pulled up vigorously.
Zhang Qing saw the person clearly, and was surprised and delighted: "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"
"Such a dangerous thing, can you think more before you do it!" Zhou Xiqin had a thin anger on his face.
Zhang Qing had never seen him angry, and looked at him in surprise.
"You stand back, I'll come. Now is not the time to say more, Zhou Xiqin lowered his body, grabbed the woman's hand, and pulled it out.
Seeing this, Zhang Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Finally, the woman was pulled up, her strength had already been exhausted, and she almost collapsed on the ground, but she first held the child in her arms.
Several people were embarrassed at this time, and their bodies were drenched in the torrential rain, especially the woman, who had been soaking in the sewage for most of the day, trembling all over.
"I have to go home and change my clothes, or I'm going to catch a cold." The rainstorm came and went quickly, and it was already much smaller at this time, Zhang Qing wiped the rain on her face and looked at the woman: "Where do you live?" ”
The woman was grateful: "It's in the neighborhood in front." ”
She was exhausted and had almost no strength to hold the child, but the child was not allowed to be held by anyone except her, so Zhang Qing supported her beside her and helped her hold the child with one hand.
Turning the corner and walking 200 meters, they arrived at the woman's community, where she lived on the first floor, and before they arrived, a man saw them, and as soon as he saw the woman's appearance, he immediately rushed over, took the child first, and then shouted to the woman: "Where did you go with the child?
The woman muttered for a moment and did not speak, and the man was already extremely angry: "Why can't you do anything all day long? What is the use of asking you! Look at the child, what has become of this?"
Zhang Qing looked at it coldly from the side, although he said that other people's family affairs should not be interfered with, but when this man saw his wife in a mess, he didn't care a word but just reprimanded? Seeing the woman's submissive appearance, Zhang Qing couldn't help but speak:
"Sir, your wife accidentally fell into the sewer and soaked in it for most of the day, so you better let her go home first and change into clean clothes. ”
The man glanced at Zhang Qing and Zhou Xiqin, paused on Zhang Qing's face for a while, and then scolded his wife: "What a waste!
After saying that, he hugged the child and turned around and went home.
Zhang Qing was slightly stunned, and the woman was in tears, bowing to Zhang Qing and Zhou Xiqin again and again, apologizing and thanking her.
After saying goodbye to the woman, Zhang Qing looked depressed and did not speak for a while.
"Look, the rain has stopped. Zhou Xiqin said.
Zhang Qing said "um".
"Not happy?"
Zhang Qing took a deep breath and nodded: "Look at that man's attitude towards his wife, shouldn't husband and wife be equal? How can he treat his wife like this? Without any care and respect, such a man might as well not be." ”
Zhou Xiqin shook his head, his eyes were slightly deep: "Don't worry about other people's affairs first, look at your wet body, go back and change your clothes quickly." ”
"Well, you too," Zhang Qing looked at Zhou Xiqin, his clothes were also wet, and his hair was messy in front of his forehead, but his eyes were deep and clear, the bridge of his nose was high, and his knife-like side face made him a little more evil, Zhang Qing hurriedly retracted his gaze, swept the discomfort in his heart, and asked, "Why did you appear here?"
"I happened to pass by when I came back from going out on an errand, and I heard you say that you were going to Grandpa Yu's, so I thought I would stop by to pick you up. ”
Speaking of this, his voice deepened, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Qing with a bit of reproach: "How dare you go to save people alone? Do you not think about the consequences before doing things? What if you fall down by yourself and there is no one around, what will you do?"
Zhang Qing stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "How could it be? Don't you know? My strength is very strong!"
Zhou Xiqin paused, turned around and walked in front of Zhang Qing, and looked at her fixedly.
"What, what's wrong?" Zhang Qing was defenseless for a while, almost bumped into his head, looked up at him suspiciously, but saw him with a serious face, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know that being a man is the most taboo and arrogant! There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, things in the world are ever-changing, never overestimate yourself! How do you know that you will not fall into a situation of no return because of your self-confidence?"
Zhang Qing looked at him in a daze, and for some reason, he actually heard two points of pain from his tone.
"Scaring you?" Zhou Xiqin's emotions were slightly out of control because he remembered what had happened for a while, and when he saw Zhang Qing looking at him stunned, he couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in his heart.
It's because I'm too harsh on her, and she's just trying to save people.
"I'm fine. Zhang Qing said softly, but looking at Zhou Xiqin's eyes, there seemed to be something surging in them, and Zhang Qing felt a little sad in her heart.
"I remember what you said, and it won't be like this in the future. Zhang Qing grabbed his arm.
