Chapter 635
Sanwang got into the water without warming up. Suddenly, he felt a throbbing pain in his calf and realised that his leg was cramped. He was so frightened that he quickly kicked his legs and swam to the shore. As a result, the pain became even more excruciating as he suddenly curled up and sank into the water.
Xingfu gloated, “Haha, he has cramps. It’s over for him!”
After waiting for a while, Sanwang sank into the water and there was still no movement— not even bubbles were coming out. The children on the shore were suddenly frightened.
Xiaowang was so frightened that he cried. He saw a long stick in the haystack next to him, so he ran to drag one and wanted to use the stick to pull his Third Brother up.
Dawei was also scared and hurriedly said, “Run quickly, we don’t know anything.”
He was the first to move as he picked up his own basket and ran away with Xingfu following closely behind him. The other children were not very big, so when they saw the two running away, they were so frightened that they ran as well, as if they had nothing to do with the matter if they made sure they escaped.
At this time, Xiaowang dragged the long stick down the water. Just when he ran to the river embankment and was about to go down, the group of children happened to run towards him.
Amidst the chaos, someone pushed him and Xiaowang fell down with the stick.
There were nothing but wheat fields near this river. The members of the commune were planting crops for the spring, so there were no adults around them. Therefore, no one was around to help them.
