Chapter 1085: Chapter 347: Zhenzhen Falls into the Water, Rescue_2

A piercing, heartrending pain shot through him, and Zhenzhen instinctively opened his mouth in agony, only to have the icy water engulf him as it rushed into his mouth and nostrils. He belatedly realized that he had been knocked into the ice pit that they had just used to rescue someone.

Enduring the intense pain, Zhenzhen tried to stretch out his still-strong left hand to grab the edge of the ice, but a sudden undercurrent struck and swept him away from the ice pit...

When Mo Yan arrived at the frozen river with Mao Tuan, led by Yun Zhao, she saw several children lying on the ice, crying inconsolably, screaming their brother’s name.

She instinctively searched for that familiar small figure, but among the dozens of sobbing children, she couldn’t find her brother anywhere.

Yun Zhao couldn’t accept this reality. His eyes bloodshot, he rushed forward, grabbed Danzi, who had swollen eyes from crying on the ice, and roared fiercely, "Where’s Zhenzhen, where’s my brother? Tell me, where is he?"

Danzi pointed towards the bottomless ice pit, gasping between sobs, "Mo Zhen, Mo Zhen is inside, Wang Cai knocked him in... It’s my fault, I should have looked after him, sob, Mo Zhen, please come back, sob—"

The most unbearable truth lying before him, Yun Zhao released Danzi and staggered back two steps, his eyes filled with despair as he stared at the ice pit less than a yard wide before plunging into it without a second thought.

"Mao Tuan, stop him!" A woman’s voice rang out, surprisingly calm.

Mao Tuan obeyed his master’s command like a bolt of lightning, dragging Yun Zhao, who was about to dive into the pit after Zhenzhen, to Mo Yan’s feet. Without waiting for Mo Yan’s next command, Mao Tuan let out a resounding tiger’s roar towards Liu Yang Village, and then darted in front of the ice pit, plunging into it with a swift dive.

Dozens of children were stunned by the scene, first in disbelief, then their eyes ignited with hopeful light, watching the ice hole with heightened emotion, silently praying that their little friend would return safely.

Mo Yan had no time to console the crying Yun Zhao; she picked up a stone the size of a small millstone from the rocky shore and started smashing the ice in the deep pool, breaking through the nearly foot-thick ice in just a couple of strikes, forming a vast hole.

Before a second hole was made, a series of roars came from the direction of Liu Yang Village, and soon, several beasts even larger than the tiger that had previously dived into the deep pool appeared in everyone’s field of view.

Apart from Red Python hibernating in the Space, Little Flower, Dabai, Golden Beast, and Black Cloud Leopard had all been summoned by Mao Tuan’s roar. They looked at Mo Yan, who continued to smash the ice, their human-like eyes reflecting deep concern. Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, they selected the closest hole and without hesitation, dove down.

Hearing the commotion behind her, Mo Yan did not turn around, but her movements grew even faster. To the children, her actions seemed strange, but when adults arrived with hoes and picks and started smashing the ice too, they understood that making so many holes was to help the rescuing beasts surface more easily.

The villagers who were helping to break the ice didn’t know yet that the child who had previously fallen had been rescued, and that the one who had really disappeared was Zhenzhen, who had been trying to save others.

Only when the earlier child was discovered by his weeping parents did the villagers realize who had fallen into the pit. They looked at Mo Yan, who was expressionlessly breaking the ice, shocked and afraid to imagine the grief and despair hidden beneath her calm exterior.

With the villagers’ united efforts, many large and small holes were rapidly smashed open over the deep pool. These holes were enough for the rescuing beasts to surface at the fastest speed.

By now, Mo Qingze and Xin Er, having heard the news, hurried to the scene. Surveying their surroundings and not seeing their son (younger brother), dread began to creep into the hearts of father and daughter.

But compared to their son (younger brother) falling into the ice pit, they would rather believe he had gone home to find them. Mo Qingze approached Yun Zhao, who was breaking the ice, his eyes hiding a panic he himself hadn’t recognized, "Zhaozhao, where’s your brother? Has he gone home?"

Seeing his discomposure, Yun Zhao shook his head in agony, his face etched with deep regret, "Stepfather, Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen has fallen down—"

Mo Qingze looked blankly at his stepson, as if he hadn’t heard clearly, "What did you say? Repeat it!"
