Call me female hero!

  The next day, Gu Xiang indeed found that the three-flower cat at home was gone. She pretended not to notice.

  She got up relatively early, and her grandfather went to town and hasn't come back yet.

  Grandma asked if he was hungry, and there was porridge in the pot. Then she served Gu Xiang a small bowl of porridge.

  Grandma said: "Eat something first to fill your stomach, and Grandpa will bring you breakfast soon."

  Gu Xiang thought it was pretty good eating porridge with pickled vegetables, and the pickled vegetables at her grandmother's house seemed to be stir-fried with lard, which smelled particularly fragrant.

  She finished a bowl of porridge without much effort.

  Not long after, Grandpa came back and brought a box of steamed buns for Gu Xiang, as well as a bag of hot sugar-roasted chestnuts.

  The steamed buns were a little bigger than yesterday's small steamer baskets. Gu Xiang ate six in one breath.

  Then ate half a bag of chestnuts.

  Gu Xiang: …… == Don't ask me why I can eat so much, there's a black hole in my stomach that leads to another dimension.

  After breakfast, Grandpa and Grandma went to the fields, and Gu Xiang played in the small orchard behind the back door.

  Later Xiao Hei Pang arrived and blocked her way with his hands on his hips.

  "What's wrong with you?" Gu Xiang said irritably.

  Xiao Hei Pang said in an unpleasant tone: "Where's your cat?"

  "Gu Xiang rolled her eyes: 'What does our cat have to do with you?'"

  Xiao Hei Pang probably felt that he was bullied by Gu Xiang yesterday and lost face, so he came to find fault today.

  Gu Xiang completely ignored him.

  "Gu Xiang, what are you being fierce about?!" Little Hei Pang pushed her and Gu Xiang fell on her butt.

  If it were the old Qianxiang, she would have cried a long time ago. She wore a light blue skirt today and now her butt is covered in mud.

  Gu Xiang picked up a nearby stick and gave Xiao Hei's buttocks two whacks.

  Xiao Hei Pao covered his buttocks and jumped up, Gu Xiang was chasing behind him.

  He ran while shouting: "Gu Xiang, if you hit me again, I'll tell your mom! Ah, stop hitting, stop hitting!"

  Gu Xiang panted behind: "You tell my mom, I'll tell your dad!"

  Xiao Hei Pang is fat, but after all, he is a child who grew up in the countryside. The physical strength of the two people is vastly different.

  Gu Xiang chased for a while and couldn't run anymore, she was also exhausted. Not to mention that there was still a tree branch in her hand.

  Then he saw Xiao Hei Pao stumble and fall, his body tilted to one side, rolling down the slope into a small lake.

  That lake was always close to Grandma's house back door, but Gu Xiang had never known its depth and hurriedly ran over to take a look.

  The lake was not deep, but it wasn't shallow either. Gu Xiang could see Xiao Hei Pao struggling in the water, exposing his forehead, his body shaking back and forth, shouting "Save me!"

  There was nothing by the lake that could reach him, so Gu Xiang ran back home. Her grandparents were not at home, and she went to knock on the doors of the two neighboring houses, but no one answered.

  At this time, most adults were either in the fields or had gone out to work.

  Gu Xiang hurriedly turned around in circles, then suddenly caught sight of a thatched toilet.

  She suddenly thought of that big sister who fell into the toilet pit and was rescued by a scoop.

  Gu Xiang went in and took a look, and indeed there was a 2-3 meter long dung shovel leaning against the wall root next to the latrine.

  Luckily, when she rushed to the lake with a scoop, Xiao Hei was still struggling.

  Gu Xiang walked a little further in, the lake water soaking up to her waist, just enough distance for her to hand over the scoop.

  "Hold on tight!" She didn't know if Xiao Hei could hear her or not, but Gu Xiang shouted several times.

  Xiao Hei finally reacted and grabbed the other end of the dung shovel.

  Although there is not much difference in their body shape, Xiao Hei is sturdy and Gu Xiang is just a pseudo-stout.

  She had no strength in her hands and her feet were slipping, but she still gritted her teeth and tried to pull Little Hei Pang towards the shore.

  At this critical moment, there's no time to think twice!

  Fortunately, after walking for a while, the lake water was no longer so deep, from the top of Xiao Hei's head to only his mouth position.

  That's it, she can breathe now. Gu Xiang let out a sigh of relief.

  But he just choked on a lot of water and might have pulmonary edema.

  Gu Xiang didn't dare to linger and walked all the way to the shore, then used his hands and feet to climb up.

  Xiao Hei Pao struggled in the water for a while, and was already exhausted. After crawling on the shore several times, he still couldn't climb up, and it was Gu Xiang who pulled him onto the shore.

  They waited until they were panting on the shore, and then grandma came back.

  The back door was wide open. Seeing them like this, she let out a cry of surprise and quickly pulled them back into the house. She then called Xiaohēi's father at his workplace to report the situation.

  Gu Xiang's head was still a bit dizzy, let alone Xiao Hei Pao.

  The grandma had never encountered such a thing before, and she hastily handed them towels to wipe themselves with, and also asked them to drink hot water.

  Xiao Hei's father was also frightened and rushed back on his electric bike.

  He drove all the way to Gu Xiang's grandmother's house, and before the car had even stopped, he jumped out and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Hei Pang and slapped him in the face: "You little bastard, are you tired of living?! If something really happens to your dad, what will I do?!"

  The little black fat who was scared just now and lost his soul, burst into tears and cried loudly to hug his father.

  Xiao Hei's father's eyes also turned red as he hugged him and gently patted his back.

  Little Hei's mother passed away when he was very young due to illness, and the two of them relied on each other for survival.

  Gu Xiang's eyes also turned red, and when her grandmother saw it, she came over to hug her and asked if she was uncomfortable anywhere.

  Xiao Hei Pao cried and fell asleep. Gu Xiang was relatively calmer.

  The adults asked what was going on, and Gu Xiang explained that the two were playing around, Xiao Hei was running ahead, seemed to have twisted his foot, and fell into the water. She went to several houses but no one was there, so she used a scoop to pull him out.

  She spoke briefly and to the point, omitting the part where Xiao Hei pushed him and she chased after him to hit him.

  But the two adults still broke out in cold sweat.

  What if something happens and both kids are gone?

  Xiao Hei Pang's father said he would take Xiao Hei Pang to the hospital in town to have a look, and asked Gu Xiang if she wanted to go together.

  Grandma insisted on letting her go, Gu Xiang repeatedly emphasized that she had never drunk a single drop of water.

  Later, the adults returned one after another from the fields to eat, and my grandfather also came back. After hearing what had happened, he was also covered in cold sweat, blaming my grandmother for leaving Gu Xiang alone at home.

  Gu Xiang could only repeatedly assure him that she was fine.

  After lunch, Xiao Hei's dad came again and said that Xiao Hei had been checked out and was fine. He also expressed a lot of gratitude to Gu Xiang.

  It makes Gu Xiang feel embarrassed, but she also has a part of responsibility.

  In the afternoon, Gu's mother rushed over and insisted on taking away Gu Xiang.

  Gu Xiangcai stayed in the countryside until the second day and originally did not want to leave.

  But surprisingly, my grandparents also seemed to agree with Gu's mother's approach.

  Before leaving, Gu Xiang saw Wai Pi secretly handing her mother money, but she refused to accept it, and the two of them pushed each other back and forth.

  Gu Xiang directly pulled her mother away.

  On the way home, her mother asked her about what happened in the morning again, and Gu Xiang recounted it once more.

  This time it's even simpler, omitting the fact that I went into the water to pull people in, just saying that I was on the shore handing it over to Xiao Hei.

  "Your grandma said you and Hao Hao came out of the water together at that time," said Gu's mom with a hint of suspicion.

  Gu Xiang opened her eyes and lied: "No, I was just standing on the shore, the water only reached my calf. It was Chen Hao who couldn't climb up, and when I went to pull him, that's when I got wet. When Grandma came back, we were both already on the shore."

  Mother Gu then warned her with a hint of doubt that next time she encountered such a thing to be careful, and not to play by the water's edge again.

  Gu Xiang nodded repeatedly and sent her another ten "daren" (a term of endearment), but she still didn't dare. She was also scared this morning.

  Gu's mother was afraid she had a fever, so she took her down to a house where someone would be called.

  It's a saying from their side. When a child is scared, his soul will be incomplete. At this time, someone needs to shout his name repeatedly beside him to call back the lost soul.

  And at a critical moment, many times after being frightened and falling ill, going to the hospital for injections and drips didn't work, only calling out like this would make them better.

  Gu Xiang was often scared when she was a child, and her grandmother would also do this.

  But after Gu's mom and dad got divorced, they rarely came over to that side anymore.

  The old lady looked at Gu Xiang's wound and touched her hand, saying it was nothing serious.

  Then she gave Mrs. Gu a few yellow papers, and asked her to wrap them in a handkerchief and stuff them into Gu Xiang's chest. She also asked her to go to the three-forked road intersection to burn some yellow paper, then use a red thread to pull a needle around the house three times, calling out Gu Xiang's name as she walked.

  After the third time is over, put the needle in the water. If it can stand up, it means it's back.

  Gu's mother did everything she said, and didn't let out a long sigh of relief until the needle was standing upright.

  Gu Xiang's chest was stuffed with a handkerchief wrapped in yellow paper, and she slept until nightfall.

  Gu's mom saw she was awake and called her to get up for dinner.

  "If your grandmother were here, it wouldn't be so troublesome." said Mrs. Gu while serving her food.

  Gu Xiang thought for a moment and said: "I'll go see Grandma before school starts."

  Mom said firmly: "You stay at home and rest assured, you are not allowed to go anywhere before school starts!"

  The next day, Grandma and Grandpa called to ask about Gu Xiang's situation. Gu Xiang answered the phone and said everything was fine.

  Grandma asked again if anyone had called.

  Mom said she had called and didn't have a fever today either.

  They finally put their minds at ease.

  Gu's mother chatted with them on the phone for a while longer.

  Putting down the phone, Gu's mother told Gu Xiang that Grandpa and Grandma had decided to fill up the small lake outside the back door in these two days. Little Hei Pang's father also said he would help.

  It's clear that everyone was scared stiff.

  In the afternoon, Xiao Hei's father also called over and asked about Gu Xiang's situation.

  Gu Xiang said again that she was fine.

  Xiao Hei Pang's dad said: "Ya Ya wait, Hao Hao wants to talk to you." Then after a while still no one spoke, Gu Xiang heard Xiao Hei Pang's dad scolding on the phone: "Tuzi you're dawdling what are you doing!"

  Xiao Hei Pao picked up the phone and said "Hello".

  Gu Xiang responded with a "yes" and the room fell silent again.

  After a long silence, during which Gu Xiang thought the other party had fallen asleep, Xiao Hei finally muttered out a "thank you" and then hung up the phone and ran away.

  Gu Xiang returned the phone to her mother.

  Gu's mom and Xiao Hei's dad talked for a while before hanging up the phone.

  "Chen Hao's family said they want to thank us."

  Gu Xiang said: "This is really unnecessary, anyone would have done the same."

  "Besides, it's not necessarily so," said Gu's mother with a hint of pride. "Ordinary children would have been scared out of their wits by now. Who would have thought to go and rescue someone?"

  Gu Xiang felt that her mother was already treating her a bit like Sima Guang.

  Gu Xiang thought of the lake at her grandmother's house and asked: "Is the lake at your grandmother's house really going to be filled up? It's a pity."

  Mrs. Gu said without hesitation: "Of course it has to be filled up. If we're not careful and another child falls in, what are we going to do?"

  Kids in the countryside are running around like monkeys.

  Gu Xiang suddenly thought that it seemed like in her previous life, when she was in junior high school, the lake at her grandmother's house had also been filled up.

  She was puzzled for a long time and asked why, the adults said that the lake water is not clean and will make people sick.

  She regretted it for a long time, but before and after summer, as soon as the front and back doors were opened, the wind blowing over from the lake was cool.

  And in memory, that little black fatso, indeed hadn't been seen since after entering junior high school...

  She didn't go to her grandma's house after the last junior high school entrance exam, and she stayed at home watching TV for the whole summer vacation.

  So, is it said that Little Black Fatty was so useless in his past life?

  Later, Xiao Hei's father still had someone bring many things to Gu Xiang.

  An Oxford English dictionary, a Wangwang gift package, a box of Mengniu milk and a box of Oreo biscuits.

  The village branch secretary heard about this and said that he could help Gu Xiang get a certificate, letting her apply for something like "Municipal Three Good Students" at school. Maybe she'll even get extra points on the high school entrance exam.

  But what surprised Gu Xiang the most was a letter from Xiao Hei Pao.

  His handwriting was crooked and twisted, and there were only a few sentences on the letter. He spoke with a heroic tone, saying that from now on, as long as Gu Xiang had something to do, he would devote himself wholeheartedly and die without regret.

  The middle character of "gong" is still written incorrectly.

  Gu Xiang made me laugh.
