Today was the same.
A few five to six year old children walked towards the center of the Wan Li Lake with the wooden pieces. The surface of the lake was very slippery, so the children had to walk carefully. It didn't matter if they slipped, but if the ice got their newly made clothes wet and dirty, they would inevitably be scolded by their mothers. Therefore, they all walked very slowly.
With great difficulty, they walked to the center of the Wan Li Lake. The children put down the wooden pieces in their hands and sat on the wooden pieces. One person pushed them from the back, pushing them from the center of the lake to the outside. They felt that they were playing very happily. A little girl wearing a flowery robe carried the wooden pieces and walked to the back. She probably wanted to go further, but she suddenly stopped.
"Ah Chun, why are you standing there?" An older boy saw his sister standing in front of him in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
"Big brother," The little girl called Ah Chun pointed to the front, "That ice sculpture is so strange."
….
There were exquisite restaurants in the south of the city, and naturally, there were also some ordinary shops. Most of the owners of these shops had some savings and could be considered slightly wealthy, but they could not afford to rent the shops of big restaurants. But even so, because of the unique location and environment of the south of the city, the ordinary shops were still quite lively.
Usually, the shopkeepers or proprietors of the shops were busy with their own things. When they weren't busy, they would always like to sit together and chat and drink tea. And today, it was probably a little early, so there weren't many customers. The shopkeepers of the neighboring shops gathered in front of the door to talk.
Just as they were talking, the weather was getting colder and colder. They saw a few children running over at the same time, all of them panting. These children were the children of the hawkers in this area, and they usually played together. The female shopkeeper who sold rouge took a closer look and suddenly frowned. She said angrily, "Dong'zi, did you bring Ah Chun to the Wan Li Lake again? I made a new cotton-padded jacket for Ah Chun yesterday, and now it's all wet. Are you itching for a beating? "
As he spoke, he saw that the other shopkeepers were also teaching their children a lesson. This was because the group of children were all in a mess. Their clothes were torn and wet, and their bodies were in a mess. Some even lost a shoe. It was as if they had rushed back from somewhere.
Just as he wanted to say a few more words, the boy named Dong Zi cried out with a 'wa' sound and said, "Wan Li Lake … Wan Li Lake, there's someone …"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first. A middle-aged man in linen clothes said, "Oh no, could it be that some kid fell into the water?"
There were cases of children drowning while playing in the water at Wan Li Lake all year round. There were fewer cases in winter, but it was not impossible. There was once a child who fell into the water and died while playing on the ice surface when the ice cracked and the child fell into the water. As soon as he said that, everyone's expression changed. The female shopkeeper who sold rouge was a warm-hearted person. She anxiously stomped her feet and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and take a look. We are all neighbors. Who's child fell into the water? Let's go and take a look!"
When everyone heard it, they all agreed and followed the female shopkeeper to the surface of the Wan Li Lake.
When they reached the Wan Li Lake, they were shocked. One could see that in winter, other than the children who would come, the cold and cheerless Wan Li Lake was already surrounded by a lot of people. Most of the people were actually walking towards the centre of the lake.
"This … Could it be that one fell into the water." The female shopkeeper muttered.
If there was any accident, some people would go up to help and some would just watch the bustle, but it was not to the extent that so many people would walk towards the centre of the lake. Especially among the people who were walking towards the centre of the lake, there were actually many rich and powerful children dressed in luxurious clothing. This was somewhat unusual. It was not that the rich and powerful were not good, but in this world, one should sweep the snow in front of one's own door and not care about the frost on other people's roof. It was common for the rich and powerful children to be indifferent to the common people's matters. But now … When were there so many warm-hearted people in the Ding capital?
