On the other side, Haoyue Country, Qingxi Town

Early in the morning, Song Lin went out to work. Shen Xu sat at the desk and read for a while. Then Aunt Zhang came in with a broom and a rag, and started to clean the house.

Aunt Zhang was sweeping the floor when she said in a bad mood, "Grandpa, lift your legs."

Although Song Lin had told Aunt Zhang in person that she should just do her job well, Aunt Zhang couldn't stand Chen Xu. As soon as Song Lin left, she would find all kinds of reasons to order her around and annoy her with her sarcasm.

"Oh, this world is so unfair. Some people are just lucky. They are sold as maids and can only eat and not serve others~"

Shen Xu ignored her and continued reading. Feeling that she was a bit noisy, he simply closed the book and walked out of the yard.

She stood at the gate for a while, and heard Aunt Zhang still chattering in the house, so she simply walked out.

When Aunt Zhang saw that the person was gone, she chased after him in panic.

She walked a few steps and didn't see anyone, so she tried to convince herself again, "There's no point keeping this kind of ancestor at home. It's better to let her run away on her own so that she won't be a burden to Young Master Song."

She snorted, went back to the yard and closed the gate.

Shen Xu walked aimlessly on the street. She wanted to find her family and repay the money she owed Song Lin. But she was terrified, afraid that she was sold by her family because she didn't know how to do anything.

She didn't dare to go door to door and ask, nor did she dare to pull people aside and ask if they knew her.

I could only stand on the side of the road without any plan and at a loss, watching people coming and going passing by me, trying to find the one I might have seen among those unfamiliar faces.

But the passers-by on the road are all strangers. In this vast world, it is so difficult to find a familiar face and use it to restore your memory and find your way home.

Shen Xu watched the people coming and going without saying a word. She stood at the intersection for a whole day, but found nothing. She squatted on the ground, touched her empty stomach, and felt a little depressed.

At this time, the voices on the street suddenly became noisy, and the vendors who were originally setting up stalls and chatting abandoned their stalls and ran to the small bridge to watch.

Everyone was whispering to each other, "Something happened, what happened?"

"Look, look, someone has jumped into the river."

Shen Xu stood numbly by the roadside, not daring to stand in the crowd to watch. Suddenly, a woman's hoarse scream came from the crowd: "Yan'er!"

The sharp voice seemed to break through all the noise, penetrate her eardrums and pierce into her mind.

Shen Xu seemed to be hit by something. She covered her head with one hand and supported the ground with the other hand. She knelt on the ground panting, and her vision began to blur.

"Yan...who is it..."

A gentle voice seemed to ring from my ear, "A Xu... come quickly..."

Shen Xu felt her eyes go dark, and a starry sky seemed to appear before her eyes. Under the starry sky, the blurry face called her softly in a gentle voice: "Come quickly..."

"Yan..." She felt extremely chest tightness and splitting headache, and knelt on the ground gasping for breath.

At this time, everyone was gathered at the bridge watching someone jump into the river, and no one noticed her abnormality.

Shen Xu covered his chest and said weakly: "Yan...Brother..."

"Come quickly..." The voice in my memory was extremely gentle, "Come quickly..."

The woman on the bridge grabbed people, knelt down and cried, begging everyone, "Someone come and save my Yan'er!"

“Save…” Chen Xu looked up at the hazy crowd and walked towards them with unsteady steps: “Go…save…Yan…”

She pushed through the crowd like a madman and saw people struggling in the water. She stepped over the railing without hesitation and jumped into the water.

The crowd was in an uproar. "Look, that idiot from Constable Song's house has jumped down."

"Oh my, go report it to the police!"

"Yan... I'm here to save you..." Shen Xu quickly swam to the middle of the river. Regardless of his headache, he paddled hard, took the man's arms and swam towards the river bank.

The people by the river quickly found a bamboo pole for her to hold on to, and the neighbors worked together to pull the two up.

When the people were carried up, the girl who jumped into the river had turned blue in the face, her eyes rolled back to her head, and she was no longer breathing.

"Oh, Yan, my poor Yan! If you die, how can I live?" The woman rushed over and started wailing.

Shen Xu's head was buzzing, and the sound of Yan'er echoed in her mind. She covered her head in pain, and suddenly stepped forward to push away the woman who was lying on the girl. She pressed hard on the girl's chest, muttering: "Yan...can't die...must save him...can't let him die..."

She knelt on the ground and pressed for a while, then cupped the girl's cheeks, leaned over and blew into her mouth, then blew for a while and pressed her chest hard.

A huge crowd gathered around and suddenly cried out in surprise. The women covered their hands with their handkerchiefs and kept complaining, "Oh my! How can you be so shameless in broad daylight? You must be a fool..."

Not long after, the town's constables arrived and several of them drove away the onlookers, saying, "The government is investigating a case. Everyone, disperse."

Song Lin pushed through the crowd and walked over, only to see the girl, who was soaked all over, kneeling on the ground, lowering her head and kissing the girl on the ground.

Fine water droplets hung on her long eyelashes, and her fair face was like a hibiscus flower emerging from the water. Through her wet clothes, one could vaguely see her beautiful collarbone and the elusive spring scenery.

He frowned, immediately took off his coat and covered her with it, "Why did you come out?"

Everyone started talking to Song Lin in a low voice, and talked about the fact that he couldn't find a wife.

"Go home quickly and let the government handle this."

And Shen Xu seemed to be unconscious, repeatedly pressing the girl's chest and leaning over to kiss her lips.

"Look at this idiot, doing such a thing in the street, people died, it's so immoral!" Everyone pointed at her, and the woman rushed over crying and tearing her apart, scratching Shen Xu's face, leaving two red marks.

Song Lin quickly grabbed the woman's arm and dragged her aside.

"Damn it! My daughter is dead. The police are beating people." The woman cried loudly.

At this moment, the girl who had already lost her voice suddenly curled up, choked on a mouthful of water, and began to breathe heavily.

"She's saved, she's saved..." Another cry of surprise rang out from the crowd, "Hey! She really can be saved by just a kiss and a touch of breasts..."

Shen Xu wiped the water off his face, looked up at Song Lin standing in front of him, and smiled faintly, "Captain Song, I saved him."

Song Lin almost forgot to breathe. That was the first time he saw this girl, with a bright and clear smile that came from her soul.

"I seem to remember something. I must have an older brother. His name is—"

"Brother Yan."
