Her parents took her to her grandmother's house for dinner. She didn't want to be dragged and compared with several children from relatives. She thought it was fake, so she sneaked out.
Zhou Jiaojiao kept walking. When she was tired, she found that everything around her was unfamiliar to her. She was breathing heavily on the mountain. The wind was blowing, and the grass behind her swayed towards her. She turned around in place. He fell back and lay on the grass.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Jiaojiao opened her eyes and shook her head, and saw three people beside the reservoir at the bottom of the mountain. They were two boys and one girl, all about the same age as herself.
The girl between the two boys was wearing a white dress and a pair of small leather shoes. Her long hair was hanging down at her waist, and she was holding a long-eared rabbit in her hand, like a princess.
Zhou Jiaojiao had never seen such a beautiful girl, she was prettier than the flowers on the mountain. She put her hands on her cheeks and looked at the three people curiously, what was their relationship and where did they go to school.
I don't know what happened, the three people had an argument. Zhou Jiaojiao was far apart and couldn't hear anything. Her curiosity was even bigger, so big that she couldn't help but go down the mountain. I want to hear other people's secrets.
The three were shoving each other, and one of the boys stumbled and fell into the water.
Zhou Jiao covered her mouth in fright, and the exclamation didn't come out. She got closer, and the thorny branches swept her face and arms, which hurt a little.
The boy in the water was crying loudly, and the two on the shore were panicked and at a loss.
Another boy jumped hurriedly by the water, and the other boy didn't stay. He bumped the girl next to him into the water. He was startled and rushed to pull her, but instead of being pulled up, he was dragged down.
Zhou Jiaojiao saw a tall and handsome young man passing by not far away. When he saw the three struggling in the water, he ran over immediately, put down his painting bag and jumped down to save people without hesitation.
The three were rescued ashore one after another. The boy didn't know if it was because of cramps in his feet or exhaustion. He couldn't swim and couldn't get up in the water.
Zhou Jiaojiao was already very close, she could clearly hear the smaller and smaller thumping sound in the water, mixed with the boy's cry for help, as well as the three people's choking coughs, and vague voices.
The boy with small eyes coughed and his face flushed, and he suddenly widened his eyes, "Damn, why hasn't the man in the water come up yet? No, he is sinking, who of you will go down and drag him up?"
The girl looked down to check the white skirt on her body, and found that it was dirty, and the ears of the long-eared rabbit were dirty. Her face was very bad, "I won't go, there is a lot of garbage floating in the water, and it's dirty."
The other boy shook his wet hair and didn't say a word, just coughed.
Zhou Jiaojiao saw that the boy with small eyes took off his shirt, shirtless, and was about to go into the water to save someone. She looked at the boy in the water again, and the other side seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and there was hope in her eyes.
But the boy with small eyes shrank back when he put one foot into the water. He quickly put on his shirt and shoes, and stayed far away from the water. He said that there are water monkeys in the water. Life is gone.
Zhou Jiaojiao saw that the boy's face was ashen, and the hope in her eyes disappeared. She bit the back of her hand to prevent herself from crying.
The boy with small eyes dared not look at the people in the water, he said with a trembling voice, "Forget it, he jumped down by himself, it has nothing to do with us, and besides, if someone is rescued, what's wrong? What if you extort us for a sum? My parents will hack me to death."
"It's true, my mother told me, don't mind your own business outside, just take care of yourself."
The girl was very concerned about her appearance. She checked her skirt and went to straighten her long hair and face, saying something disgusting.
The other boy glanced at the person in the water, and he could no longer see his head. His face was pale, "I can't deal with that anymore, let's go quickly, someone will come over later."
The three of them ran away without looking back.
Zhou Jiaojiao came out of the bushes, she stayed on the shore, motionless.
When the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before, Zhou Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that she could swim, she squatted down and cried.
Out of fear, Zhou Jiaojiao didn't dare to wait any longer, so she stumbled back to her grandmother's house, and didn't dare to tell others.
She could save the young man, but because she was afraid, she kept hiding behind her. After she came out, she was only on the shore, forgetting what to do and missing the opportunity to save people.
A few days later, when Zhou Jiaojiao heard about the reservoir from her parents, she knew that the police had found the three people.
But all three lied, they said they went
