“Ranran, why don’t you get up? Didn’t we say we’d go to the reservoir together?”

Mei Xiaoran was woken up by someone shaking hard.

The muddled head and burning sensation makes the body feel very uncomfortable, the weariness of the four limbs makes a person unwilling to wake up. Finally slowly opened the eyes and vaguely saw two figures.

“Big sluggard, still not waking up? Everyone’s already gone to the reservoir to play. If you still don’t want to get up, we’ll be leaving then! “

Mei Xiaoran was a little confused. She clearly remembered that she was hit by a car when she was off from work, where did this reservoir emerge from?

At this time, someone also pulled Mei Xiaoran to sit up, “Quickly get up!”

Mei Xiaoran can only struggle to open her eyes wide. What enters her eyes is the tile-roofed old house……The wardrobe, writing desk, mahogany cabinet and the new year picture that was hanging on the wall, isn’t this the house where she lived when she was a child?

This is too weird!

Could it be……this is the so-called rebirth?

Mei Xiaoran’s nerves tensed suddenly, she didn’t believe it!

She reached out and pinched herself fiercely, and the sharp pain made her sober.

It’s really a rebirth!

Maybe the god had pitied her, so gave her such one chance to do it over again? The probability of rebirth is lower than that of winning the first prize in the lottery. Such a low probability can even be encountered by her, it’s really strange.

The girl who pushed her was called Lu Xia, one of her best playmates when she was a child, the other girl was called Wang Ke, was her next door neighbour, and about the same age as her.

Suddenly seeing these two childhood playmates, Mei Xiaoran exclaimed excitedly, “Lu Xia, Wang Ke, it’s you guys!”

Lu Xia who was the older one couldn’t help frowning, “Quickly get up, Ouyang Ling has already gone to the reservoir to play, we had promised to go play together, you better hurry up.”

Ouyang Ling?

Mei Xiaoran couldn’t help but blurted out, “Didn’t Ouyang Ling die long ago?”

Lu Xia rolled her eyes unhappily. “Why do you curse people blatantly like this? When did Ouyang Ling die? She is actively running and bouncing around, living so well! “

Mei Xiaoran remembers very clearly, Ouyang Ling was a neighbor girl two years younger than her, very beautiful, but in the summer of 1978, she fell into the waste pond at the other side of the reservoir and drowned to death!

This incident had caused a great shock in her childhood, so she did not dare to get into the water to play in her adulthood, even if it was in the swimming pool.

Lu Xia mentioned the reservoir and Ouyang Ling this time, then this rebirth is going back to the year of 1978?

Mei Xiaoran quickly jumped out of bed and went to see the calendar hanging outside the hall. Printed on the calendar is the date of August 25, 1978.

This is bad!

Mei Xiaoran, who glanced once at the calendar, suddenly ran out like crazy.

Of course there is a reason for her to run so fast, it was on this afternoon that the ten years old Ouyang Ling fell into the waste pond at the other side of the reservoir……After being drag out of the water she was already on the verge of death, her mother went insane at that time, that sorrowfully miserable scene Mei Xiaoran will never forget in her entire lifetime!

If rushing with the fastest speed as possible to the reservoir right now, maybe there’s still a chance to save Ouyang Ling.

Mei Xiaoran ran forward with all her strength, ears filled with the sound of the wind, the scenery in front also turned into a blurred one, she was racing against the God of death!

Arriving rapidly at the reservoir in one breath, Mei Xiaoran in one glance saw Ouyang Ling who was standing on top of the embankment playing together with other childrens.

Ouyang Ling belongs to the kind of girl who is particularly dazzling in the crowd, with a fair and rosy skin, an exquisitely delicate and beautifully elegant body, simply as pretty as a doll.

Mei Xiaoran that had just walked onto the embankment and not even squeezed beside Ouyang Ling yet, then saw a pair of hands shoved towards Ouyang Ling’s back, suddenly Ouyang Ling involuntarily fell down towards the waste pond’s direction.

“This is bad!”

The thing that Mei Xiaoran was most worried about actually happened!

She can only quickly reach out her hand to grab Ouyang Ling’s arm, and Ouyang Ling that had just climbed up from the reservoir had water on her body, slippery like a loach, which made Mei Xiaoran grab an empty air……

Ouyang Ling’s voice changed because of fright: “Older sister Ranran please save me quickly!”

Fortunately, Mei Xiaoran moved fast enough, although she didn’t grab Ouyang Ling’s arm, but managed to grab her small hand in time.

However, Ouyang Ling had begun to slide down toward the direction of the waste pond, although Mei Xiaoran was two years older than her, she also had limited strength, being pulled by her like this, also fell down together with her.

Falling down into the waste pool, even if someone comes to the rescue, there is probably no chance of survival, it’s an industrial wastewater discharged from the nearby fertilizer plant, which undoubtedly contains poison!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xia and Wang Ke were both frightenedly screamed and tried to grab Mei Xiaoran, both of them used all their strength, but it only can slow down the falling rate of Mei Xiaoran and Ouyang Ling……after all, they were only girls, just how strong can they be?

The childrens that were on the dam also cried out in a panic, “Oh no, someone’s falling down!”

At this time all the children that were playing in the reservoir are the ones that come for summer vacation, the oldest ones are only in their early teens and the youngest ones are only five or six years old, expecting them to come to a rescue, just keep dreaming then.

Mei Xiaoran was also very frustrated, how come she didn’t cherish the chance of rebirth that God gave her, the life that was just regained a while ago will soon end again.

Although she was depressed, but soon after discovered the potential danger, If Lu Xia and Wang Ke did not let go of their hands, they would probably be dragged down together towards the waste pond, if this is the case, afraid the victims would not be only one person, but four!

She originally was different from these children, although she seems to be a child on the surface, but in fact, she is already forty, so she must find a way to protect these children.

The steep embankment was like a huge slide, right now they were sliding down from the top side of the slide,if there is no resistance, the speed will only get faster and faster, and the weight will become stronger and stronger.

Mei Xiaoran was extremely nervous, when she saw the crooked branch willow tree on the embankment, she suddenly had an idea!

“Lu Xia, quickly let someone bend that crooked branch over here.”

The crooked branch tree is less than one meter from Mei Xiaoran, if the thick branch is forcibly bent over, she can use the support force of the branch to pull herself up together with Ouyang Ling.

This time there were several children that helped to pull Lu Xia and Wang Ke, the other children vigorously tried to bend the crooked branch……

Nevertheless there’s more strength with more people, even though children are small, can’t hold up that many people, the crooked branch was quickly being bent over, delivered to Mei Xiaoran’s hand.

“Listen to my command, when I say one two three, you guys pull back the branch together!”

The children were very excited, at the beginning they were really scared, but under the command of Mei Xiaoran, they were able to help the two little friends with their own strength.

Noticing that it was getting closer and closer to the dam, though Mei Xiaoran kept holding Ouyang Ling’s right hand, gradually feeling numb, even if she exhausted all of her strength still couldn’t stop Ouyang Ling from sliding down, she already had no more energy.

Ouyang Ling also felt it, and cried nervously: “Older Sister Ranran, did you lose your strength? Can’t pull me anymore?”

Mei Xiaoran is full of remorse, just a while ago she was feeling happy that she had the wisdom of an adult, but now she feels lost because of this child body of hers, however capable she is, in the end was still a child, basically can’t hold on for too long.

Right at this moment, a clear and bright voice suddenly came: “Lingling don’t be afraid, brother is here!”

Immediately afterwards, a strong and powerful big hand tightly grabbed Mei Xiaoran.
