The two children who had just stepped onto the shore were a little scared, and one of them even had weak legs and almost knelt down. Su Qingluan subconsciously stood up to pick up the child. In just a short moment, she noticed in her peripheral vision that what worried her had finally happened.
The cracks on the ice are more obvious, and there are four children on the ice closer to the center of the river who have not climbed to the shore! And the sharp and harsh "help" voice just now was none other than Chen Jiabao, the most arrogant kid from before.
At this moment, he didn't look as arrogant and domineering as before at all, and any arrogant expression he had had disappeared. He looked pitiful, with a small face pale with fright.
Su Qingluan soon saw why he was frightened like this - one of those tiny cracks on the ice ran right under Chen Jiabao's body!
As mentioned before, unlike the open and slow-flowing waters where Su Qingluan chose to ice fish, the narrowing of the river in this area is destined to make the water flow under the ice surface more rapid and difficult to freeze.
Even if the river is frozen, faster water flow can cause the ice to thin. What's more, the vortices caused by the twisted turns will hinder the further formation of the ice layer, so even in the same river, with the same external temperature, in different waters, the thickness of the ice surface will vary significantly.
However, not only was the ice layer in this area thinner, but because there were more than a dozen children playing on the ice just now, the pressure on the ice surface was much greater than that of Su Qingluan and the others. Now the ice layer is gradually developing cracks. Not surprising at all!
Even if the other children were not so unlucky and were lying just above the crack, they were more or less aware that the crack was getting worse. One of them was so frightened that he started crying and said "Auntie and Auntie" in his mouth as he tried to stand up. Run to the shore.
Su Qingluan couldn't believe it. In such a dangerous situation, many adults would easily collapse, let alone children. What's more, children are very easily affected by their friends. If one cries, the other will panic when they hear it, causing even greater panic.
They must not let them panic first, otherwise the situation that could have been saved will become more and more dangerous!
With a shiver in her heart, Su Qingluan quickly took a deep breath and shouted with all her strength: "Don't get up! Everyone stay down!"
After all, Su Qingluan's soul is an adult, and after a period of experience as "Shopkeeper Su", without her even noticing, Su Qingluan's majesty and momentum have become completely different from those of ordinary people. The little girl is different.
What's more, those children who wanted to cry were completely panicked. When they heard Su Qingluan's sharp scolding, they immediately fell back in fear and did not dare to move.
Su Qingluan saw that they were all quiet after all, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: If those children suddenly ran in panic, not to mention that the fragile ice surface could withstand such pressure, and the children were in a hurry It is easy to fall on the ice and cause additional damage.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan suddenly looked at Chen Jiabao - the other children were either fast or slow, whether they were calmer or dragging their noses and shedding tears, they were all able to move slowly towards the shore.
Only Chen Jiabao, from the moment he shouted "Help" to now, has been lying on the spot without moving at all!
Su Qingluan walked sideways to the position directly in front of Chen Jiabao, continued to lie down and shouted loudly: "Everyone is doing a good job, as long as you crawl over to the shore, you will be safe! Chen Jiabao, you too! You are not Are you a boy? Weren't you still looking so arrogant just now? Show some boyish courage!"
"I...I don't dare!" Chen Jiabao's voice was trembling, revealing obvious fear, "I feel the ice below is moving!"
"Of course the ice moves, it floats on the water!" Su Qingluan explained patiently, "But do you want to lie there forever? No one can step on the ice now, you can only lean on it little by little. Climb over here yourself!"
"I feel like if I move, the ice will crack - ah!" As Chen Jiabao let out another high-pitched scream, several other children on the ice were frightened.
Some people were so frightened that they almost slipped and fell flat on the ice, and some were so frightened that they cried.
Su Qingluan also trembled in her heart, stood up suddenly and looked at Chen Jiabao's position - she didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the place where the ice cracked seemed...
It seems to be sparkling in the sun!
This discovery made the hairs on her back stand up - she had to move faster!
"Come on, everyone, hurry up! Come on!" Su Qingluan shouted to everyone very anxiously. While dragging another child from the ice to the shore, she also prayed in her heart. , I hope I was just too anxious and dazzled at that moment.
However, we are often afraid that something will come, and Morpheus's Law will arrive late. The most irrefutable evidence is that Chen Jiabao cried: "Help me! The water is so cold! The water is coming out of the cracks in the ice! I dare not move!"
not good!
Su Qingluan's heart trembled: If the river water overflows from the gap and wets Chen Jiabao's clothes, then even if he has not fallen into the ice cave now, as long as the ice water soaks his clothes, he will gradually become hypothermia.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the village, but there was still no sound there - if Tian Xing'er had moved reinforcements, then she could at least see people from a distance.
But now there is nothing there.
Su Qingluan complained in her heart: Aren't there usually a few people passing by? Why can't I see anyone when I need help?
At this time, the remaining children had arrived at the shore one after another. Su Qingluan raised his head and looked at Chen Jiabao: "You try to lie down! Do you want to freeze to death?"
Su Qingluan originally didn't want to say this last sentence to a seven or eight-year-old child, but the situation was so critical that she had no choice but to try any coercion or inducement.
Perhaps the words "Do you want to freeze to death" were too threatening, so Chen Jiabao finally began to move his somewhat stiff body.
After a while, you can see that the child has tried very hard, but with little success. He cried: "I don't know why, it's too slippery, I can't get up! I can't get up!"
Su Qingluan stood up and looked at the broken ice layer under Chen Jiabao's body, and immediately understood what was going on: because water kept coming up from the gap, and Chen Jiabao wanted to move forward, the ice near the crack A layer of river water was wiped off the ice surface.
This "water film" makes the surface of that small area very smooth, and moving forward in front of the ice requires a large increase in friction.
However, Chen Jiabao's situation, let alone increasing the friction, actually greatly reduced the friction. To make matters worse, because he obviously didn't have any waterproof clothing on him, the water underneath quickly wet his clothes, making him gradually freeze and his movements became more and more sluggish.
Every time he stayed like this for a while, the child might freeze to death. Su Qingluan thought: What should I do?
