Chapter 7: Overboard
was ridiculed, Song Yimei wanted to get angry but remembered her mother's words, she didn't dare to tear her face with Su Rui, her expression eased, and she put on a soft and weak look, "I was scared by the price you said just now, where can we buy such expensive clothes for our peasant children." ”
"If you really like this dress, your parents love you so much, and they are usually reluctant to let you work, can you not buy it for you?" After knowing that she wouldn't spend money to buy it, Su Rui didn't bother to talk to her anymore, and directly blocked her with her own words.
Sister Song forced out a smile, "Then I'll go home and ask." ”
Five bucks! That's all the family's rice and flour money for a month, and no matter how much the Song family loves their daughter, they won't use so much money to buy her clothes.
After saying that, he walked away.
Seeing Su Rui coming, Aunt Wang beckoned to her happily, "Rui, I found that the deeper the water, the bigger the shrimp in the ditch, last night I threw the straw basket into the deep water over there, you see that all of them are like the fingers of the little mother." ”
Su Rui pinched one, and it was really half as big as before, so that it could be sold for a good price.
Seeing that Aunt Wang was picking shrimp and there was a straw basket in the water, Su Rui walked over, "Auntie, I'll collect this." ”
"You slow down, the stones are slippery over there..."Before he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation, and Su Rui had accidentally slipped down.
This is a waterhole under a waterfall, the stones are high and slippery, and the waterhole is even deeper.
Su Rui struggled a few times, because she couldn't swim, the more she moved, the more she sank, and the large movement drove the wound on her back that had just scabbed.
The pain kept her awake, awake to the boundless fear that came her way.
Could it be that her life is destined to end in the water?
Aunt Wang couldn't swim, so she could only desperately call for help on the shore, and when she saw Su Rui sinking all the time, her heart also rose to her throat.
At this time, only the sound of water was heard, and a man in a military uniform swam towards Su Rui.
He dragged her up with a vigorous posture, and Su Ruixiang grabbed a life-saving straw, hugging the man's neck and breathing air quickly.
She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, allowing herself to relax as much as possible and not struggle.
Because of Su Rui's quietness, the man carried her back very easily, and the body in his arms didn't know whether it was because of the buoyancy of the water or because it was originally thin, as if it had no weight, so he quietly rested on his chest, letting him feel her trembling gently.
His heart softened suddenly, and his voice softened unconsciously, "Don't be afraid. ”
The slightly familiar voice made Su Rui visibly reassured, and she opened her eyes closed with fear and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life again." ”
Hearing Su Rui's words, it reminded him of the scene on the mountain, and he felt the same soft body in his arms, his face turned slightly red, and he stopped speaking.
Aunt Wang ran anxiously, "Oh, this military master, why are you bleeding!" "When I got closer, I saw that there was blood oozing from the man's shoulder.
Su Rui looked down and saw that the blood in his shoulder was seeping more and more, but there was no expression of pain, and she felt extremely guilty.
"This lady, my name is Lu Feng." Lu Feng frowned, he heard the title of the military master extremely harshly, "This is an old injury, it is not in the way." ”
It was precisely because he was wounded in the field some time ago that he went home to recuperate.
The two went ashore, Lu Feng carried her to the big rock and put her down, stared at her tightly and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable, or you feel out of breath?" ”
Su Rui choked a few mouthfuls of water, but she didn't drown, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, but you have a lot of bleeding in your shoulder, go to the clinic and take a look!" ”
Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't care about his own injury, his face turned serious with concern, and said to Su Rui: "If you can't swim, don't go to the water's edge." ”
This kind of fatal accident happened one after another, and there was nothing helpless about this girl.
"Rui, your back is bleeding too!" Aunt Wang said nervously: "You two just go to the clinic to have a look!" ”
Lu Feng knew that both of them were injured and the wounds were ruptured, so there was no need to go to the clinic.
"It's okay to re-take the medicine, but it's you..."Lu Feng turned around and turned his back to her, "Hurry up and go home and change into wet clothes." ”
Su Rui looked down and saw herself soaking wet, her lower body was nothing, the white shirt on her upper body and the small vest inside were directly transparent, and two points on her chest were faintly visible.
She hugged her chest in surprise, "Then I'll go back first, and thank you another day!" ”
After speaking, he trotted all the way back to Du's house.
I can't sell shrimp today, Aunt Wang thanked Lu Feng again and again, and then packed up her things and went back.
Lu Feng stared at the direction in which Su Rui disappeared and sighed slightly.
………
Since the last quarrel, Su Rui has not spoken to the Du family, although Liu Fengxian still scolds and chatters on weekdays, but she does not dare to provoke Su Rui at the beginning of the month when Su's mother has not sent money.
Therefore, these days have been indulged in her messing around.
At this time, I saw that the person came back wet, and I didn't ask her what happened, and the door slammed back into her room.
Su Rui changed the wound medicine with difficulty in front of the small mirror in the house, and just put on her clothes, but she didn't expect Song Yumei, who had gone and returned, to find it again.
"Xiaorui, where did you just go, why are you wet?" Song Qimei was really distressed about the wet clothes and pants that were thrown on the ground.
Su Rui replied to her perfunctorily: "I fell into the river." ”
"Ahh Song Qimei pretended to be worried and said, "Are you okay?" ”
When she returned home before, she learned from her mother about asking for clothes, Zhang Lan's eyes rolled, and she gave her daughter an idea, asking her to rent the clothes for Su Rui for five cents, as long as the clothes are in hand, do you still use them for her?
When Su Rui comes to ask for it, they have given money, who can say clearly whether it is to rent or sell?
Song Qimei ran to find Su Rui again, knowing that Su Rui would go to Xiaohe to go around when she went out, but she didn't expect Su Rui to see it, only to see a soaking wet man standing there stunned, the man was dressed in a military uniform, and his cold appearance and temperament made Song Qimei obsessed.
It wasn't until the person walked away that Song Yimei came back to her senses.
Su Rui combed her hair to herself, the hair of this body was very long, almost waist-length, but the hair was thin and soft, and once knotted, it was difficult to manage.
Song Qimei stared at her coldly, "Xiaorui, I just went to the river to look for you, and I saw a man who was also covered in water." ”
Su Rui glanced up at her, "He saved me." ”
"Did you ask his name? Where do you live? I think he's a soldier, isn't it the one who saved you last time? ”
I heard before that the man who rescued Su Rui from the mountain is also a soldier, isn't it the same person?
I thought back to the recent rumors in the village that Su Rui had fallen on herself when she went up the mountain to have a tryst with someone, and the object of the tryst was the man who sent her to the clinic!
Of course, Song Qimei knew the truth, but when she thought that such an excellent man was involved with Su Rui, she was inexplicably jealous in her heart.
Su Rui cleaned up and said, "It's that soldier, his name is Lu Feng, but I forgot to ask where I live." ”
"Xiaorui, we are friends, of course I believe what you say." Song Qimei paused, "But you also know that there have been a lot of rumors in the village that have a bad reputation recently, just like last time, someone else obviously saved you, but your aunt made a fuss, not to mention your reputation, and also made others bear the notoriety, so Xiaorui, if this person really saved you, you'd better not get involved with others anymore." ”
