On an October day, the temperature difference between day and night on the Loess Plateau is very large. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it is not very cold during the day, in the middle of the night, the temperature drops suddenly.

Although Dongmei and Fan Wei's mother, the two were tightly crowded together, they were still shivering from the cold.

And Tao Tao, Fan Wei, and Pi Dong on the other side of the river, were even more frozen and couldn't sit still.

They wore their daytime clothes, where to resist the cold of the night, they all hid in place, hoping that the water would fall quickly so that they could cross the river, and followed their mother back to the house and got into the warm bed.

At this time, for several children, the warm quilt is their dream paradise.

Even for Taotao, hunger can be endured, and drowsiness can be endured, but this cold is really unbearable, because it is too unbearable.

When the chickens in the chicken pen in the distance began to crow, the river finally began to fall.

Dongmei patted Fan Wei's mother, who was already asleep, next to her, leaning on herself, and said, "Sister-in-law Fan, wake up, the children have already begun to cross the river." “

After Fan Wei's mother woke up, she looked at the river and said to the children who were crossing the river, "Can you come over, no, wait a while." “

The children were already freezing and couldn't wait to swim over.

When the water reached their butts, the trio began to cross.

However, compared to the turbulent river before, the current river water is much slower.

Even if you wade through a meter of water, there is no problem at all.

Dongmei watched several children cross the river, and she was very anxious.

She squatted down, pulled up her trouser legs, and said to Fan Wei's mother, "Sister-in-law Fan, you wait here for a while, and I'll go down and pull the three children up." “

Fan Wei's mother saw that Dongmei was about to go into the water, she also pulled up her trouser legs and said, "Let's go, let's go forward hand in hand, it's safer." “

After getting into the water, Dongmei and Fan Wei's mother, holding hands, walked forward, and prayed silently in their hearts: "I hope the river will not rise instantly, otherwise, the children and adults will really be finished." “

Fan Wei's mother was even more nervous and raised her heart to her throat, she raised her head from time to time and looked upstream, afraid that the water would come down.

October is the flood season for the river, and there are frequent floods, without warning, pouring down from the upper reaches.

The local folks know this, so they usually don't cross the river easily in October.

Even if they cross the river, they will choose to cross the river at noon, when the sun is the reddest and the sight is the best.

Once discovered, the upstream flood will come down, at least there will be time to react.

However, due to the negligence of Dongmei, Fan Wei's mother, and Pi Dong's mother, several children did not know that the seemingly calm Yanhe River in front of them was actually surging.

Seeing that Dongmei and Fan Wei's mother are about to walk together with their three children.

However, the river under his feet was inexplicably turbulent, and there was a tendency to rise.

Fan Wei's mother was startled, took a flashlight, and said according to the upstream along the river: "My God, shouldn't the flood upstream come down." “

Hearing this, Dongmei saw that the river under her feet was surging undercurrent, and the river water, which was clear just now, began to become turbid.

Dongmei turned to Fan Wei's mother and said, "It's not good, maybe upstream, there is really a flood coming down, let's hurry up and pull the child ashore." “

Fan Wei's mother was nervous, and suddenly her mind went blank, she said: "Which shore are you on, the opposite shore, or the shore where we came?"

Dongmei couldn't care so much, she was the first to rush over, grabbed Taotao and Pi Dong's hands and said, "The flood is coming soon, let's cross the river quickly." “

At this time, Fan Wei's mother also grabbed Fan Wei's hand.

A group of three children and two adults walked towards the shore with difficulty in the turbulent and growing river.

Although the adults know that once the flood comes, they will definitely die.

But the children didn't know how dangerous flooding could be.

They looked at the water, which was still not high, and did not feel afraid.

Pi Dong looked at Tao Tao and Fan Wei enviously and said: "The mothers of the two of you have come to look for you, why didn't my mother come, hey, my mother really doesn't love me at all, she only loves my brother and my two sisters." “

Tao Tao comforted Pi Dong and said, "Don't feel bad, maybe your mother is on her way here." “

Fan Wei also comforted Pi Dong and said: "In the world, where are there parents who don't love their children, don't think too much, Pi Dong, let's cross the river quickly." “

With the efforts of Dongmei and Fan Wei's mother, three children and two adults finally went ashore before the flood came down.

The children were much more excited about the people who were out of danger, they talked and laughed, and they were not afraid of the dangerous behavior just now.

Dongmei and Fan Wei's mother sat on the ground like wilted balloons.

Dongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Just now, it was really too dangerous, if we slow down a little longer, the flood coming from behind us will definitely wash us away." “

Fan Wei's mother twisted the water on her trouser leg and said, "Yes, it's like life hanging by a thread." “

Hearing her mother sigh like this, several children really didn't think so, Taotao even said: "Mom, you are really cowardly, what is there to be afraid of when the flood comes, it's a big deal for us to swim over." “

Hearing Taotao's simple and naïve and irresponsible words, Dongmei's stomach was full of anger, and she said, "Taotao, do you have a long brain?"

Tao Tao wondered: "I have a long brain, what's wrong?"

Dongmei said: "When the flood comes down, it is a matter of an instant, water and fire are ruthless, haven't you heard of it?"

Fan Wei also said beside him: "Auntie, it's not that serious, right?"

Fan Wei's mother picked up Dongmei's words and said: "In the past, when you were young, every time there was a big flood in this Yanhe River, there was nothing floating in it, any cows, sheep, wood, grain, and even drowned people. “

Hearing this, Tao Tao and Fan Wei actually laughed and said, "Is it so terrible?"

Hearing that Taotao treated the danger as a child's play, Dongmei suddenly became angry, she stood up violently, and kicked Taotao directly to the ground with a kick according to Taotao's stomach, she said: "Taotao, I don't think I will beat you today, it's really not good, you are almost fourteen years old, why can't you grow up?"

Fan Wei's mother saw that Dongmei was teaching Taotao a lesson, and her anger also came up, so she simply stood up and grabbed Fan Wei, just a few slaps, and Fan Wei's eyes were full of stars.

Fan Wei said, "Mom, why are you beating me?"

Fan Wei's mother beat Fan Wei and said, "Why, just because I am your mother." “

Tao Tao was even more embarrassed, and before he could stand up, Dong Meike went up, grabbed Tao Tao's clothes, and punched and kicked him.

Taotao's height is already one meter five or six, at first glance, it is not much lower than Dongmei, if it really fights, Dongmei is not necessarily Taotao's opponent.

But in today's fight, Dongmei has a bottom in her heart, a child is a child after all, although she has grown taller, her strength is weak after all, and she is not at the same level as herself at all.

Dongmei scolded angrily: "Taotao, your father works in the mountains, if you have any accidents, you let me give your father, how can I pay for it?"

Fan Wei's mother said: "Fan Wei, when you were a child, I pulled you up with a handful of and urine, if you die like this, do you think you are right to pull your parents who grew up?"

Seeing Taotao's mother and Fan Wei's mother, who were beating their children, Pi Dong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but gasp.

Pi Dong, who was sad and sad because his mother didn't come just now, suddenly felt that he was very lucky and very lucky.

He said in his heart, thanks to his mother who didn't come, otherwise, his fate would definitely be even more miserable than Tao Tao and Fan Wei.
