you are within five miles of me

Recently, a new square was built near Grandpa's house, with a fountain, and at night, the water is illuminated by colorful lights.Seven-year-old Zhou Yang yearned for it for a long time. The water in the fountain was deep, and his grandparents kept him away. He wanted to play with Brother Jiang, but Brother Jiang also said it was not safe.

Taking advantage of the noon siesta, Zhou Yang, who was sleeping among his grandparents, slipped out of bed quietly, left the yard without anyone noticing, and ran towards the square alone.At noon, the fountain was not open, and the water patterns in the pool were rippling and sparkling. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel that the pool is very shallow.

Eight-year-old Jiang Yanzhe didn't know why he couldn't sleep at noon that day. The two pieces of chocolate in his pocket made a rustling sound when he bumped them over and over again. He simply got up and wanted to find Brother Zhou Yang to give him the chocolate.

As soon as he put on his pants, he saw Zhou Yang's small figure flash past from the window, running fast and fast, Jiang Yanzhe put on his shoes and hurried out of the house.

Zhou Yang came to the fountain and wanted to reach out to play with the water in the pool, but his arms were too short to reach.At that time, the awareness of safety precautions was not in place, the water in the fountain pool was deep, and the surrounding railings were low, so accidents were prone to happen.Seven years old is just a naughty age, Zhou Yang climbed over the railing two or three times, stood on the narrow platform and squatted down, but when he squatted down, his body lost his center of gravity, and a huge splash of water was splashed on his face.

The water looked shallow because it was clear, but it was actually one meter deep. Seven-year-old Zhou Yang was malnourished, thin and small, just over one meter tall, and disappeared when he fell.He couldn't use his feet, and he would slip when he tried to stand up, so he had to hold on to the railing tightly with both hands to prevent himself from falling into the middle of the deeper water.

When Jiang Yanzhe caught up, Zhou Yang had already fallen. He could only see the water in the pool continuously splashing, and he could vaguely see a black head floating up and down.At noon, the sun was scorching, everyone was taking a lunch break, no one would pass by in the square without any shade around, only Jiang Yanzhe ran over anxiously and shouted: "Yangyang, Yangyang..."

Zhou Yang heard a familiar voice calling him in the water, and subconsciously wanted to say yes, but when he opened his mouth, a big mouthful of water was poured in, and the more he wanted to call for help, the more he poured, Zhou Yang felt scared, cold The water choked him to the point of suffocation.

Jiang Yanzhe ran close to him and found that the surface of the water was much calmer. Zhou Yang's hands that were gripping the railing with great strength gradually relaxed, and he was not struggling so violently.

Jiang Yanzhe was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly climbed over the railing to stabilize himself, firmly grasped the low railing with one hand, and stretched his other hand to grab Zhou Yang's collar who was floating on the water. He reached it, the second time he stepped on his right foot, put all his weight on his left foot, and leaned out half of his body, it was enough to reach it, but one hand couldn't bear the force, he was insane, and he couldn't use any more force Zhou Yang's bubbles are gone!Jiang Yanzhe gripped the railing so hard that his fingertips turned white, and finally stimulated the potential of human beings in one go. Zhou Yang was finally dragged to the side near the railing.

Zhou Yang was sobered up by the movement. He felt that someone was pulling him from above. Out of the instinct to survive, he grabbed that hand and used his strength to grab the railing and struggled to stand up. He looked like a pale little water ghost.

Jiang Yanzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, his clothes on the back and front were soaked, not water, but sweat.He turned over quickly by himself first, and then held Zhou Yang's armpit and used all his strength to pull him over. He didn't dare to relax a bit, for fear that Zhou Yang would slip into the pool again if he was not careful.

Zhou Yang leaned limply in Jiang Yanzhe's arms, Jiang Yanzhe patted his face anxiously and shouted: "Yangyang, don't sleep, wake up!"

Zhou Yang opened his eyelids in a daze, and said intermittently: "It's Jiang, is it Brother Jiang?" Is it time to go to bed at night, has the button of Father Sun been turned off by someone, why did it suddenly become dark, Zhou Yang couldn't see anything clearly, thinking wildly.At that time, Zhou Yang was obviously shivering from the cold, but he still felt that Jiang Yanzhe's arms were so warm.

Zhou Yang's grandfather didn't hug Zhou Yang when he turned over, so he quickly got up to look for him, but there was no sign of him inside or outside the house, so he hurriedly woke up his grandmother to go out, and when they arrived, they saw eight-year-old Jiang Yanzhe holding seven-year-old Zhou Yang over the railing. It was almost unbelievable, even though Jiang Yanzhe developed much better than ordinary children at that time, he was a full head taller than Zhou Yang.

Grandpa hurriedly came over and embraced Zhou Yang with one hand, and touched Jiang Yanzhe's head with the other, "Good boy, Grandpa doesn't even know how to thank you."

In fact, when Jiang Yanzhe saw his grandfather approaching, tears welled up in his eyes, and when his grandpa's big hand touched his head, he finally burst into tears uncontrollably.It seemed that he was the one who fell into the water, and all the fear, terror and uneasiness burst out in an instant, and it was only then that people realized that the calm rescuer just now was only an eight-year-old child.

Grandma embraced Jiang Yanzhe affectionately and felt sad. If there was no such child, wouldn't Yang Yang... Just thinking about it made her afraid for a while, "Good boy, it's okay, let's go to the hospital first."

Fortunately, there was nothing serious about Zhou Yang, he just choked on a few sips of water and made his stomach swollen, so he needed a gastric lavage.Zhou Yang went to wash his stomach and Jiang Yanzhe was bandaging his fingers, because the grandmother found that the child's fingers on one hand were all torn, which was caused by excessive force when he grasped the railing.Grandma blew for him distressedly, "Azhe, stop crying, does it still hurt?"

Jiang Yanzhe cried until he stuttered, "Grandma, grandma, I don't feel pain, I'm just afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to play with Yangyang again!"

Grandma carefully held his hand to comfort him: "Silly boy, what happened, Yang Yang just choked on a few sips of water, and you will see him soon."

Jiang Yanzhe suddenly raised his tear-stained face and asked with red and swollen eyes: "Really?"

Grandpa came over and answered this question for grandma: "Of course, our Ah Zhe can go see Yangyang now."

Jiang Yanzhe laughed through tears.

Zhou Yang, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw that Jiang Yanzhe pushed the door in, and instantly became excited, "I knew it was Brother Jiang who saved me, and Brother Jiang is Yang Yang's great hero!"

Embarrassed, Jiang Yanzhe lowered his head and rubbed his crying face with the back of his hand, took out the two pieces of chocolate from his pocket, "I'll eat it for you."

Zhou Yang took the completely melted chocolate and took it apart laboriously. As soon as he took a bite of the sticky chocolate, he frowned and said in distaste: "It's so disgusting, I don't like chocolate."

Zhou Yang licked it all over his mouth, and a bit of black chocolate stuck to his nose like a little tabby cat. Jiang Yanzhe was amused by his appearance, "If you don't like it, my brother won't buy you chocolate in the future."

Zhou Yang, who didn't like chocolate, found out later that he had already liked Jiang Yanzhe when he was seven years old, and he fell in love with Jiang Yanzhe later.
