Xiaowang chuckled happily at the way he bared his teeth and asked, “Is it cold?”
Sanwang patted his chest and imitated Yang Zirong’s posture, “Your Third Brother is a man from the stormy seas and the strongest blizzards. How can something be cold?”
At this time, several boys also came over after picking their vegetables. Seeing that Sanwang actually dared to put his feet into the river, one child laughed and said, “You really are not afraid of the cold.”
Although Sanwang’s teeth chattered due to the cold, he said firmly, “The water is hot and it’s not cold at all.”
He deliberately kicked the water with his feet.
Langtou dragged himself over along with a stream of snot coming out of his nose and took a breath, “I dare too.”
He also took off his shoes and ran down, putting his feet in the water, “Ouch, it’s so hot!” He was shivering from the cold as his snot became a steady stream.
In addition, some of the boys were brave and some were not. Even if they put their hands in and it’s practically freezing their fingers to death, they still insisted that it’s not cold, going as far as to exclaim from the apparent ‘heat’.
At this time, the second son of Zhao Guilian’s family, Xingfu, ran over and sneered, “No matter how powerful your feet are, I bet none of you dare to go swimming!”
Someone said to him, “Xingfu, do you dare?”
Xingfu said proudly, “Of course I dare to— I did it a few days ago,” As he said that, he glanced at Sanwang with disdain.
Another person who came with him, who was named Dawei, smiled and said, “I saw it with my own eyes. He went into the water and swam in a circle,” Then, he glanced at Sanwang and curled his lips, “I don’t think any of you here would dare to try something like that!”
Several children lowered their heads. Although they wanted to show off, they also knew that the water was freezing to the point that even their feet could not stand it. Who else would dare to swim in the water at a time ?
That person would be a fool!
Xingfu scoffed, “They definitely don’t dare to. Even that bastard Dawang doesn’t dare since all he does is just bully people without any real ability.”
Sanwang got angry when he heard what they said, but he remembered that his parents were most definitely going to whip the hell out of him if they found out that he went in the water in such cold weather.
Moreover, his feet were still soaking in there. It was very cold, which made him eager to leave the water.
However, Xingfu actually dared to scold his Eldest Brother. Sanwang immediately exploded and said angrily, “You are the bastard! Who said my Eldest Brother doesn’t dare to do it? My father even swam in the army during winter!”
“Tsk, what a liar,” Xingfu and Dawei disagreed. Swimming during the winter? Only an idiot would dare to even enter the waters in winter. Who would dare to freeze to death?
Xingfu naturally didn’t believe it, “We haven’t seen your father do it, so you can lie as you please. In the end, we know that Dawang doesn’t dare to do it. After all, we haven’t seen him go into the water in winter.”
Xingfu was a few months younger than Dawang, but technically, they were the same age. They had many fights when they were younger and Xingfu never won once. After turning 10, Dawang turned to dominating older children and was too lazy to play with him. Even at the present time, Dawang was already farming the fields with adults, but Xingfu still remained at home with the other children.
