Scum Coercion

I quickly lowered my head to see if there were any anklets on the small stone bridge.

Unfortunately, not there.

Ziyuan, who was still lying on my back, showed an anxious expression of wanting to cry.

"What should I do? It seems that when I turned around just now, I loosened my hand and threw it into the river."

"What?"

I was dumbfounded, but when I regained my senses, I immediately turned my attention to the stream.

In the setting sun, the creek that reflects the orange-red sunlight like a flame flows quietly, because the sunlight is still a bit dazzling, I can't find anything in the water at all.

And the water flow can't be said to be fast, but it's not slow either.

No, I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, even if the anklet hasn't been washed downstream, it will disappear after a while. So I calmly directed Shion.

"Ziyuan, wait a minute, get to the side of the road first, and I'll help you find it."

"Yi? Ayu?"

Shion's eyes widened, and she called my name in a weak voice.

I really can't help it, seeing her cute expression, it seems that I can't give up looking for her, otherwise Ziyuan will cry.

I smiled at her.

"I'll go, but let me tell you first, don't blame me if you can't find it."

"Hmph, it's your fault."

Ziyuan's face was a little red, she turned her head away, and her attitude became a little strange again for some reason.

But think about it carefully, Ziyuan has always been like this, because she is very willful.

I smiled wryly, and first found a relatively flat stone by the roadside and put Ziyuan on it.

Zi Yuan, who was sitting on the rock, seemed to be in a trance. She clamped her knees, put her hands on the rock, and looked at me silently.

She always felt a little worried about this.

I put my hand on her smooth forehead.

"Ziyuan, are you alright?"

ah! ! !I, I, I'm fine! ! "

She suddenly came back to her senses, and let out an exaggerated cry like a frightened little animal. For a moment, I thought I hurt her, and I was so scared to death.

In short, I still let go of my heart.

"Then Ziyuan, just wait, I'm going."

阿宇

She showed a somewhat moved expression, and then whispered.

"Anyway, the water is very cold, don't be washed away

"Haha, am I made of paper? How could it be washed away?"

Looking at her serious expression, I couldn't help but laugh.

But her cheeks were still stained with an indescribable blush, which made me a little worried.Sure enough, I should quickly find the anklet and take her home. After all, my precious daughter was injured when I went out to play. I hope her parents will not blame me.

Following a path next to it, I walked to a platform near the stream.

This place is very close to the entrance of the village, so someone built such a place with cement to wash clothes. Of course, most people still fish here.

Taking off my shoes, I deftly put my feet into the river.

"Oh--!!"

Unlike the fiery summer, the temperature of the stream is always so cool, because it runs through the year, even in the cold winter, it will not freeze.

Stepping on the stone, I took a deep breath, lifted up my trouser legs, and tried to find out where the anklets were.

"Hey, Zhu Zeyu, what are you doing?"

At some point, Ji Xiaomei, who was still in a fierce quarrel with her brother before, walked onto the small bridge.

Completely abandoning her brother who was still paralyzed and lying on the side of the road, Ji Xiaomei squatted down, hugged the little bear in her arms, held her chin, slightly shaking her pink braids, and spoke to me like this.

"Zi Yuan lost her anklet, I'll help her find it."

I replied without raising my head, while continuing to look down.

And Xiaomei seemed to sigh slightly.

Then I heard a series of footsteps.

Xiaomei who walked to the concrete platform put the little bear aside.

"Zhu Zeyu, let me help you find it too."

She whispered to me softly.

And I straightened up, turning around in surprise.
