Chapter 41: Falling into the River
Yuan Bao and a few children went to buy fifteen Qiaoguo, and the remaining five Song Ying sold after a while, and she returned home early.
"Mother, I'll go to the river to wash clothes." Song Ying put the mallet on the basin, picked up the basin and said to Wang Caihua.
"Be careful." Wang Caihua and Song Wang were busy building a house every day, and they had saved two large pots of clothes at home, and they didn't have time to wash them.
"Mother, don't worry." In her previous life, Song Ying could swim, but if she fell into the river, she would be fine.
Song Ying came to the river and understood why her mother didn't worry about her, the river was very wide and the water was very turbulent not long after the rain.
Because it was afternoon, and there was not a single person washing clothes by the river, Song Ying carefully came to a big rock, pulled up his trouser legs, put his clothes in the water, and then took out a piece of white mud on the river beach, and beat it with a mallet.
After washing his clothes for a while, Song Ying stood on the stone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stepped on the river that washed up the stone from time to time.
The stone was very slippery, and Song Ying slipped under his feet several times, but he only stepped under the stone and stood still.
Song Ying stood on the stone again, but suddenly felt something behind her, and stabbed hard, she opened her arms to keep her balance, but her feet were too slippery, and "Poof" fell headfirst into the river.
Although Song Ying can swim, in her previous life, she swam in the swimming pool and never swam in the river.
"Ahem", Song Ying poked her head out and coughed, wanting to swim back to the river, but her legs couldn't move, as if they were entangled in aquatic plants.
The more she moved, the tighter the water and weeds on Song Ying's feet entangled her, and she drank several sips of water, unable to even speak.
"Song Ying, someone is coming, call for help!" The bamboo bucket called out to Song Ying anxiously, and only Song Ying and the rice bucket could hear it, and others could not hear it.
Song Ying wanted to call for help, but she had no strength, she couldn't even poke her head out of the water, she opened her mouth, and the river water poured into her mouth. She paddled hard, and only a few bubbles popped up on the surface.
"Song Ying, hurry up, otherwise that person will leave!" The bamboo bucket encouraged Song Ying, if it continues like this, Song Ying will die!
Thinking of his father, Song Ying stretched his neck hard and shouted with all his strength: "Help!" ”
On the edge of the river, Zhou Runqi turned his head sharply to look at the turbulent river, he seemed to hear someone's shouting just now, but there was nothing on the river, Zhou Runqi carried the hoe and continued to walk home.
"Song Ying, shout again, he's leaving!" The bamboo bucket is even more anxious.
Song Ying fluttered in despair, but he sank deeper and deeper into the water......
"Squeak!"
The rice bucket suddenly jumped onto Zhou Runqi's shoulder, pointing to the middle of the river, Zhou Runqi turned his head and saw that it was the Monkey God, and the Monkey God jumped hard.
"Monkey God-sama, is there someone in the river?!" Zhou Runqi asked.
The rice bucket nodded vigorously.
Zhou Runqi jumped into the river without saying a word, and a fierce man plunged in, and sure enough, he saw the girl who was entangled in the aquatic weeds, he swam over quickly, untied the aquatic weeds on the girl's feet, and dragged her to the shore, only then did he see that it was Song Ying.
"Song Ying!" Zhou Runqi shouted loudly.
Song Ying coughed up a large mouthful of water, sat up slowly, and coughed a few more times before he felt that he could catch his breath.
"Uncle?" Song Ying Guan Zhou Runqi called "uncle".
Zhou Runqi saw that Song Ying was soaking wet, she couldn't go home like this, and she would be talked about if she was seen.
"Ah Ma, can you get up and walk?" Zhou Runqi twisted his head.
"Squeak!" The rice bucket jumped onto Song Ying's back.
Song Ying was completely fine, no more discomfort at all, she stood up, "Uncle, I can go." ”
"You come with me." Zhou Runqi took the lead.
Song Ying followed him and came to a haystack, Zhou Runqi said: "Ah Ying, you go in first, let the Monkey God go home and get you clothes, and then go home when you change your clothes." How did you fall into the river? ”
"Slippery feet." Song Ying wasn't sure that someone had stabbed him into the river with a stick, so he didn't tell Zhou Runqi.
Zhou Qunqi brought Song Ying's washed clothes and basins and put them on the edge of the haystack, and left.
The wet clothes were attached to her body, and they were blown by the wind, Song Ying sneezed, she rubbed her arms, took off her clothes, the bamboo bucket flashed green, and flew out of the pocket of her clothes, and the clothes on Song Ying's body and hands were immediately completely dry.
"Bamboo bucket, you still have this ability." Song Ying screamed and put his clothes on again.
"I'm not called a bamboo bucket!" The bamboo bucket flew back into the pocket of Song's clothes in protest.
Song Ying went to dig out her pocket, but she heard the chaotic footsteps outside, and she still came towards the haystack, so she hurriedly lowered her head and buttoned it.
Outside the haystack, Liu Ermei rushed to the front, holding a broom in her hand, "Everyone, hurry up, the one who broke the shoes is in this haystack!" ”
"Mother, our village has always had the best atmosphere, this shameless one, she must be caught today!" Song Ying's reputation was about to be discredited, and Wang Yinsuo's face turned red with excitement.
Who called Song Ying to complain, it was not enough to hook up with the big people in Kyoto, and she also hooked up with Zhou Runqi, she would never allow it.
Zhou Runqi can only be her alone, and as long as the others are mothers, they can't get close to Zhou Runqi!
Just now, Wang Yinsuo hid in the grass by the river and pushed Song Ying into the river with a stick, but she didn't expect that Zhou Runqi would appear and jump down to save Song Ying.
At that time, when Zhou Runqi walked to the shore with Song Ying in his arms, Wang Yinsuo was crazy with jealousy, and almost rushed out to throw Song Ying back into the river, but she endured it until this time.
"That's right, whoever spoils the atmosphere of our village, let's kill him a shameless thing! Get out of the way, I'll get in and see! A woman with a big waist and a round waist, named Liu Bafeng, spat twice on her hand, lowered her head and got into the haystack.
"Song Ying?! What are you doing here? Liu Bafeng saw that the person in the haystack was Song Ying, and shouted, didn't he say that someone broke his shoes here?
Wang Yinsuo carefully moved to the side of the haystack, took out something from his pocket and threw it away, and then pointed and shouted: "It is Song Ying who stole people, and there is a man's gown!" ”
