Chapter 41 (1/2)

Guo Xiang first walked around the living area. The whole living area is quite large. There is a four storey building, which should be the cadre's house as Li Chun said.

Gu Zhennan lives in two rows of single rooms, most of which are for married but not enough leaders or ordinary workers.

Two rows of bungalows are collective dormitories for single ordinary workers.

There is also a large open space behind the building, which has planted a lot of vegetables. It seems that some families have cultivated them themselves. If they grow vegetables, they don't have to buy them. As long as they buy meat and vegetables, they can save a little money.

The canteen is located between the single bungalow and the building, and the bathhouse is also there, which is obviously more convenient for cadres.

The oil well is still far away and can't be seen.

Li Chun said it would take an hour by car.

Yes, the living area can't be too close to the oil area, which will cause pollution.

Guo Xiang walked out along the vegetable field. After a long walk, he actually saw a lake.

The lake is clear and there is a large reed marsh by the lake.

During the summer vacation, several children were playing by the lake, splashing and laughing. They were all tanned and had a lot of fun.

The scorching sun hung high, and the reed marsh was covered with green leaves. As soon as the wind blew, the green waves surged, and several egrets soared up.

Guo Xiang approached the reed marsh and smelled the fragrance of the reed. The breeze brushed his face and the air was fresh. He was really relaxed and happy.

Suddenly Guo Xiang found several wild duck eggs in the reeds. He was happy and was about to pick them up. Suddenly there came a scream, ”help, come on, brother Xiaopeng fell into the water!”

”Brother Xiaopeng...”

”Help...” the cry has sobbed.

Fall into the water? Aren't they just playing in the water? Is that... Deep water?

Guo Xiang jumped in his heart and hurried out.

Only a few children of five or six years old were crying on the shore. A boy of seven or eight years old was fluttering about ten meters away from the shore and was about to sink.

Guo Xiang ran quickly, jumped into the lake, rowed quickly and swam quickly.

He hugged the child. The child was confused. He got a life-saving straw and hugged Guo Xiang with both hands.

Guo Xiang's hands were too big for him to row. He shouted, ”children, children, relax. My sister has come to save you. You have been saved. Don't be afraid...”

The child opened his eyes and saw that he had come out of the water. A good-looking sister hugged him and cried at once.

Guo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he should have just choked a few salivas and scared. He was fine.

”Come on, relax, let go of my sister's hand, and my sister will take you back. Don't be afraid!” Guo Xiang said softly.

”Well, well...” the child sobbed and nodded, hugging Guo Xiang's neck with one hand and letting go of her arm with the other.

Guo Xiang picked up the child, rowed with one hand and slowly swam to the shore.

”Brother Xiaopeng, are you okay?”

”Brother Xiaopeng, are you okay?”

”Brother Xiaopeng...”

Several children gathered around, their eyes still red.

Xiaopeng wiped his tears and shook his head. ”I'm fine. Don't worry. I can't die!”

”I was scared to death just now!” A little girl with two pigtails patted her chest and said in a charming voice.

”If brother Xiaopeng drowns, my mother will kill me!” Said the other boy.

”Bah, you drowned!” Xiaopeng spat.

”Can't we come back to the lake in the future? I still want to play. ” A child said anxiously.

Guo Xiang couldn't laugh or cry. Several bear children just had an accident. Did the scar forget to hurt?

”Why are you playing here by yourself? And no adult with him? ” Asked Guo Xiang.

”My parents won't let us play. They say it's dangerous, but I just learned to swim. I want to try. Who knows...” Xiaopeng's voice gradually weakened.
