One afternoon during the summer vacation, the weather was hot and he was doing his homework at home.

Huang Anhua went somewhere to have some fun and came back.

As soon as he stuck his head into the house, he was caught by his father.

"Anhua, where have you been hanging out again? How much of your summer homework have you done? School will start soon."

When his father saw Huang Anhua who had just returned from playing outside, he became furious.

"Why can't you just do your homework at home like your cousin?"

Huang Anhua ignored his father and went straight to the kitchen, scooped a bucket of water, and started drinking it.

Seeing that Huang Anhua ignored him, his father became even angrier and stepped forward and kicked him.

"You little idiot, you are so capable. I am talking to you, but you pretend you didn't hear me?"

Huang Anhua puffed out his cheeks and rolled his eyes at his father.

"Boy, you're still rolling your eyes, I'm going to teach you a lesson today.

If you hang out outside all day and don't study hard, will you end up like your father, working in the fields with your back to the sky and your face to the earth to make a living?"

As one can imagine, Huang Anhua was beaten severely by his father again.

"Go ahead and kill me. Just kill me and let Huang Ansheng be your son."

Huang Anhua cried and screamed, and was slapped several times by his father.

Huang Ansheng, who had just finished his homework, heard it clearly.

He wanted to go out to next door to persuade his uncle, as no one else was at home.

He was afraid that Huang Anhua would anger his father and get beaten up.

As he walked to the door, he saw Huang Anhua's face was swollen like a big meat bun.

She ran past him crying. His uncle must have been very angry too, so he didn't chase after her.

Huang Ansheng turned around and followed him all the way to the river, where Huang Anhua stopped.

"Anhua, wait for me, why are you running so fast?"

Huang Ansheng ran to Huang Anhua panting and said.

"Why are you following me?"

Huang Anhua looked at Huang Ansheng and cried.

"You, why do you always talk back to your dad? You're asking for a beating again."

"It's all because of you. Why are your grades so good?"

Huang Anhua looked resentful.

"It's not that I don't want to study, but I just can't concentrate. When I see those questions, my mind starts to buzz."

"I taught you what you didn't know, but you always ran out to play. Of course your dad was mad at you."

Huang Anhua said.

"But I just don't want to do my homework. It's so annoying."

Huang Anhua sat down on the ground, and Huang Ansheng sat down with him.

The scenery by the river is pleasant, and it is even more beautiful in summer. Standing by the river and looking into the distance, you can only vaguely see the village on the opposite side.

The green rice fields are filled with fragrance, and farmhouses with red bricks and gray tiles are dotted among them.

Just like the small flowers in the oasis, it is so beautiful!

But Huang Anhua was in a very upset mood at this time. He picked up small pieces of soil on the ground and threw them into the river with all his strength.

Huang Ansheng sat with Huang Anhua by the river for a long time, and suddenly it started to rain lightly.

In the lotus forest not far away, the lotus leaves swayed in the breeze, gently returning the rain water they had held at night to the river.

Some of the lotus flowers shyly revealed their little heads, some had already opened their smiling faces, and some were already nurturing life.

The flowers and leaves are already floating on the lake, and some have grown into lotus pods waiting for people to pick them.

In fact, in the afternoon, there were many people picking lotus pods or water chestnuts in the river.

But they were in no mood to care about these things. The sun was setting and people had already returned home with their full loads.

"It's raining and it's getting late, let's go back!" said Huang Ansheng.

"I don't want to go back. I don't want to see him. He might beat me again. Let's pick lotus pods and swim. I've been in the sun all afternoon. I'm dying of heat."

Huang Anhua had stopped crying long ago.

"It's too late. It will be dark soon. Let's come back tomorrow!"

Huang Ansheng was a little scared because people often drowned in this river, and the adults warned them not to go to the river at night.

"Then you go back first, I'll go swimming alone." Huang Anhua said.

"Okay then, we'll just swim for a while and we'll be back before dark."

Huang Ansheng decided to stay and accompany him.

Because they were afraid of being beaten and scolded by the adults, they saw that there was no one by the river, so they took off all their clothes and went into the water.

When we get ashore and put on dry clothes, we won’t be discovered by adults.

So the two of them first swam to the lotus forest, picked a few lotus pods and brought them ashore.

Because there were too many people picking fruits, the two lost interest after searching for a while.

The rain had stopped by then, and Huang Anhua swam towards deep water.

"Anhua, don't swim in deep water. It's too dangerous."

Huang Ansheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I want to dive in and have fun, but it's not fun if the water is too shallow."

Huang Anhua was still swimming forward.

"Wait for me! Don't swim too far."

Huang Ansheng chased after Huang Anhua while shouting.

Suddenly Huang Anhua dived down and disappeared on the water.

"Anhua, Anhua." Huang Ansheng stuck his head out and shouted loudly.

"I'm here, haha!"

Huang Anhua's voice floated over from a distance.

"Be careful!"

Huang Ansheng shouted again, fearing that he was in danger.

"I know."

As the sound disappeared, Huang Anhua disappeared on the water again.

In this way, Huang Anhua dived underwater again and again.

After a while, Huang Ansheng, who was floating on the water, did not see Huang Anhua come out of the water for a long time.

"Anhua, where are you?"

Huang Ansheng shouted nervously, but his voice was drowned out by the sparkling river surface, and Huang Anhua never responded to him.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the river, creating a golden glow.

Huang Ansheng called out again and again and kept searching on the river, but he never found any trace of Huang Anhua.

He panicked and felt something was wrong, so he swam to the place where he last saw Huang Anhua.

He dived underwater again and again, searching for Huang Anhua in the water.

He went down many times but couldn't find it. He was exhausted.

He used all his strength and stabbed again.

This time, when he was groping in the water, his hand suddenly touched something soft. Thinking it was Huang Anhua, he pulled it up with all his strength, but he couldn't move it.

So he touched the thing with his hand, and it seemed to be a person, but the person was very small, like a little rag doll, and it was obvious that it was not Huang Anhua.

He was frightened and quickly dropped what he was holding and swam upstream as if to escape.

He felt something grabbing his foot, and he panicked and tried hard to break free.

Just as he was about to lose his strength, the thing that had grabbed his feet suddenly released him.

He quickly struggled to float to the surface and swam quickly to the shore.

Still in shock, he dragged his tired body to the place where the clothes were kept. Looking at Huang Anhua's clothes, he trembled with fear.

What to do? What to do? Anwar is still in the water. Where did he go?

"Anhua, Anhua! Come out, I can't find you."

He cried loudly towards the river.

He wanted to go into the water again to find Huang Anhua, but after taking a few steps, he retreated.

Because he was already exhausted at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out if he went into the water again. Thinking about the mysterious force pulling him, he dared not do it anymore.

How to do?How to do?

If the adults knew that Anhua came to the river to play with him, his father and grandfather would not let him go.

He was terrified and didn't know what to do.

He put on his clothes in a panic and looked at Huang Anhua's clothes. A voice in his ear said to him:

"Hide those clothes, and they won't blame you if they can't find them."

"Who, who?"

Huang Ansheng's hair stood on end when he heard the voice.

But he couldn't control his thoughts. He involuntarily hugged Huang Ansheng's clothes and ran hard. As he ran, he fell to the ground.

"Hide the clothes in this tube."

Another voice sounded in my ears.

He looked down at his feet and saw a cement pipe buried underground that was used to carry water.

Following the guidance of the voice, he really stuffed Huang Ansheng's clothes into the cement pipe.
