The shout startled Su Qing and Cheng Beilin, and they hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Oh, that's where those kids are fishing." Cheng Beilin suddenly became nervous: "Could a child have fallen into the ice hole?"

"Go and have a look."

Su Qing didn't say anything and pulled Cheng Beilin towards the direction of the shouting.

In order not to disturb the children's fishing, Su Qing chose a place that was a little far away from the children. When the two arrived, they saw the children gathered around a patch of reeds, trying to save people in panic and shouting loudly. Two girls were so scared that they burst into tears.

Su Qing looked over and couldn't help but frowned. Logically speaking, even if one was ice fishing in a puddle, one could at most make a hole in the ice a dozen centimeters in size. One reason was because the ice was too thick, and the other was to prevent people from falling into the hole. After all, a hole in the ice a dozen centimeters in size would not cause a child to fall in even if he accidentally stepped on it.

However, there was such a big ice hole behind the reeds. At this time, there was no sound of anyone struggling on the water surface of the ice hole. Only a few children were trying in vain to put wooden sticks under the ice hole, trying to let the people who fell into the water grab the sticks and climb out. However, it was useless. No one grabbed the sticks.

"Who fell in?" Su Qing asked as she took off her cotton jacket and handed it to Cheng Beilin. She planned to go into the water to save people herself.

"No, not from our village, it's Little Blackie from the neighboring Luhua Village." A child saw Su Qing coming, and perhaps because he saw an adult, he couldn't hold back and started crying: "He walked here, and the ice suddenly collapsed, and he fell down."

"Okay, I understand." Su Qing nodded. Just as she was about to jump into the water, Cheng Beilin grabbed her and said, "Are you crazy? The water is so cold. You will freeze to death if you go in."

Cheng Beilin was worried about Su Qing. The water that the big black fish splashed on her face was icy cold, not to mention jumping into the water, which would be absolutely unbearable.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, don't worry." Su Qing knew that Cheng Beilin was worried about her, so she quickly comforted him.

After saying that, Su Qing dived into the water.

As soon as she entered the water, Su Qing immediately mobilized the green mist to circulate around her. Suddenly, the biting cold disappeared. Su Qing swam around in the water, looking for the child who fell into the water.

Soon, Su Qing found a figure floating in the water. Seeing the motionless figure, Su Qing's heart sank. She swam over and grabbed the child's wrist. The other party did not move, and Su Qing sighed inwardly.

However, Su Qing pulled the child's wrist but failed to move it. She then realized that the child's ankle seemed to be entangled by water plants. She immediately pulled the water plants around the child's ankles away and swam to the surface with the child.

"Yeah, I've been rescued."

When Su Qing lifted the child to the surface of the water, not only Zhao Youcai came, but also several uncles and aunts came over after hearing the noise. They all worked together to pull the child out of the water, and then pulled Su Qing up as well.

"Put it on quickly." Cheng Beilin hurriedly stepped forward and put the cotton jacket on Su Qing. She touched her hands and felt that they were cold. She said worriedly, "You must have caught a cold. You should drink some ginger and sugar water when you get home."

Aunt Cuihua also came. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the ice water off Su Qing's face. "Oh, why are you so fierce? The water is so cold. What if your leg cramps? You are going to scare someone to death."

"I'm fine, don't worry." Su Qing comforted Cheng Beilin and Aunt Cuihua, then looked at the child who was rescued.

At this time, several people were surrounding the child named Xiao Heizi and giving him first aid. Su Qing stepped forward, touched the side of the child's neck, and secretly injected a green mist over him.

However, it was of no use.

The child was already dead, and Su Qing could not sense any sign of life in him.

Although Su Qing's wood-based ability can cure diseases, it cannot save lives. Even if there is still a glimmer of hope, Su Qing can guarantee to save the person. However, this child is already beyond saving. Su Qing sighed softly and stood up.

However, several adults refused to give up and were still trying to save the child.

"Do you think this child can be saved?" Cheng Beilin came to Su Qing and asked in a low voice.

Su Qing shook her head gently.

Cheng Beilin suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked with pity at the little boy lying on the ground with his eyes closed and purple and black lips. The little boy looked to be only eight or nine years old. She sighed softly, it was such a pity.

"How did you kids dig such a big hole in the ice?" Zhao Youcai recognized that the child was from another village, but now he died in Lihua Village. His brows were furrowed.

"We didn't dig it." The children said hurriedly. Then, as they talked, everyone understood that these children came to the puddle to ice fish, and then Xiao Heizi was playing with another boy. When they walked to this place, the ice suddenly broke, and then Xiao Heizi fell in.

"Oh, who chiseled such a big hole in the ice?" Someone asked curiously. Even if one wanted to go ice fishing, no one would chisel such a big hole. What's more, this hole was behind a patch of reeds, which was obviously not a suitable place for ice fishing.

It was obvious that the hole in the ice was not frozen solid, and as a result, it was stepped on by the little black boy, and the ice cracked all of a sudden.

"Who knows? This is too immoral. What a pity for this child." Everyone sighed. Who could have thought that in this cold winter, someone would chisel such a big hole in the ice. Isn't this harming people?

"Oh my Heizi." At this time, a shrill female voice came from a distance. It turned out that someone had already gone to Luhua Village to inform Heizi's family. When they learned that the child had fallen into an ice hole, Heizi's family hurried over.

Seeing her child lying on the ice, motionless, Heizi's mother could no longer hold back and threw herself on the child, "Heizi, wake up, my son, wake up, look at me."

However, no matter how Heizi's mother shook Heizi, Heizi didn't move at all.

"Heizi's mother, the child is no longer alive. You should just accept our grief and let it go." Someone advised.

"No, my Heizi, my son." Heizi's mother gave birth to five daughters before she had this precious baby. Now she saw her only son was gone, how could she bear it: "God damn it, who killed my son, I will fight him to the death!"

As she spoke, Heizi's mother stared fiercely at the children who were playing with Heizi with her red eyes.

The boy who had been playing with Heizi before was afraid that Heizi's mother would be angry with him, so he pointed at Cheng Beilin and said, "It was her. She pulled Sister Su Qing and didn't let her go to save Heizi."
