Chapter 74: Threat

A vicious light flashed in Tang Mingxiu's eyes.

She looked around, making sure no one was paying attention here, and quietly approached Qin Huiyin and reached out her hand to her.

When her palm was only a palm away from Qin Huiyin, and she only needed to push hard to fall into the water, Tang Yichen's clear voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"

Tang Mingxiu was startled and turned back suddenly, only to see Tang Yichen standing not far away with two fish in his hands.

Qin Huiyin noticed when he said this and looked over in confusion. When she saw Tang Mingxiu's outstretched arm, her eyes sank.

She stood up, picked up the backpack beside her and walked towards Tang Yichen.

Tang Mingxiu saw her coming and moved away guiltily. She took a few steps to the side and suddenly stepped on moss, slipped and fell into the water.

With a splash, she fell into the water.

"Ah... Help..." Tang Mingxiu flapped his hands on the water. "Help, I can't swim... Help..."

Tang Yichen looked at this scene and frowned, "Go and see if there are any other people nearby."

"Brother, you don't want to jump into the water to save him, do you?" Qin Huiyin said, "There are differences between men and women. If you jump into the water to save her, it will be hard to explain."

The most important thing is that this woman has bad intentions. Whether she just had a tryst with the man in the mountains or she wanted to plot against her, it means that being involved with this person will leave a stain on herself.

If she had seen it right, this woman wanted to push her into the water. Although she didn't know how she found out that she knew about it, she did something wrong but didn't look for the reason in herself, but got rid of the person who knew about it. Even if this woman drowned in the river, it was her own fault.

but……

There were two of them standing here, and if they let her drown in the river, they would probably be in even bigger trouble.

never mind.

Qin Huiyin put down the backpack and said to Tang Yichen, "Brother, why don't you go look for other people nearby? It would be best to find someone from her family and ask them to come and clean up the mess."

Qin Huiyin jumped into the water.

If one of them had to go into the water to save someone, she would be the best choice. First, there was a difference between men and women, and if Tang Yichen touched this woman, he would not be able to get away. Second, Tang Yichen's injury had not healed yet, and if he got infected while saving someone, it would be very dangerous in ancient times when medical care was not well developed.

Tang Mingxiu struggled for a long time, but she had no strength left and sank. She vaguely heard someone jumping down, and her hope was rekindled. When the person hugged her shoulders, she threw herself over.

She thought it was Tang Yichen.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Huiyin.

Suddenly, the evil thoughts in her mind sprouted again.

She deliberately hugged Qin Huiyin tightly, causing Qin Huiyin to lose strength quickly.

Qin Huiyin noticed her intention and did not indulge her. She simply held her head and pushed her into the water again.

"Gurgle gurgle..." Tang Mingxiu struggled, "Help..."

"You'd better behave yourself..." Qin Huiyin said coldly, "My brother went to find someone. I believe someone will arrive soon. They saw me saving people. If you die in the water, it's your bad luck at best. Even others can't save you by jumping into the water. Also, I'm not interested in your shit. If you cause trouble to me again because of those disgusting things, I will tell everyone about you fooling around with men in the mountains."

"You...you are talking nonsense, I didn't..."

"There's no bullshit, you know."

"Don't tell anyone... I won't dare to do it again..."

"If someone asks you how you fell into the water..."

"I fell into the water accidentally." Tang Mingxiu said weakly, "I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

"You're so brave and yet you dare to imitate others and kill people." Qin Huiyin said sarcastically.

Tang Jiang went to repair the dam, and Tang Mingkui worked as an apprentice in the town, leaving only two women, Wang and Tang Mingxiu, at home.

When Tang Yichen found Wang, she was standing under a tree at the entrance of the village with the gossipers in the village, talking about the Zhang and Li families. Tang Yichen vaguely heard his name, and they stopped talking when he approached.

"Aunt Wang, Tang Mingxiu fell into the water."

"What?" Wang's eyes widened. "How could she fall into the water? If she fell into the water, why didn't you save her first? What's the point of running here to tell me? You are a grown man, can't you even pull a woman out?"

Wang ran towards the river while scolding Tang Yichen, and she was still nagging him: "If anything happens to my daughter, it's your fault. You hurt my daughter, and I will never forgive you."

When the others heard that Tang Mingxiu had fallen into the water, they put the pumpkin seeds in their pockets and followed Wang to the river.

When they hurried over, they saw Qin Huiyin and Tang Mingxiu sitting on the rocks, breathing heavily. Tang Mingxiu was a 15-year-old girl after all, and her clothes were sticking to her body, exposing her figure.

Wang screamed, "You little bastard, how could you fall into the water for no reason? Did someone do it on purpose?"

Tang Yichen knew he should avoid her, so he stayed far away. Wang suddenly said something so unreasonable, obviously wanting to throw dirty water on Qin Huiyin. He was about to rush over regardless, but heard Tang Mingxiu say pitifully: "No, I slipped when I was passing by and accidentally fell down."

"Did you really fall down accidentally?"

"Really. Qin Huiyin saved me when she passed by."

Tang Yichen recalled the scene just now. Tang Mingxiu deliberately approached Qin Huiyin, as if she wanted to push her into the water, and then she stopped because of his appearance. Something must have happened between the woman and Qin Huiyin.

Tang Yichen grabbed the fat boy next to him, took out a penny, and asked him to call Li Taohua over: "Tell Aunt Li that Yinyin fell into the water. She is fine, but her clothes are soaked. She needs to bring some clothes over."

The little fat boy took the penny and ran away happily.

Tang Yichen was worried about leaving Qin Huiyin here alone, so he had to stay here to guard her. It would be fine if Wang didn't play tricks, he would just stay here to guard her from a distance. If she dared to play tricks, he would not sit idly by.

Li Taohua came over quickly.

"My daughter, my precious Yinyin..." Li Taohua took her own clothes and wrapped them around Qin Huiyin, wrapping her tightly.

She rubbed her hands and said distressedly: "Why did you go into the water? If someone falls into the water, what does it have to do with you?"

"Li Taohua, what do you mean?" Wang stared at Li Taohua and cursed, "Did my daughter fall into the water and she just stood there and watched? If anything happened to my daughter, she would be the murderer."

"You're crazy." Li Taohua rolled her eyes. "It's broad daylight now, and there are so many people working in the village. If you shout loudly, people will come to help. Why let my daughter suffer this? But my daughter has a kind heart. She was worried that your daughter wouldn't survive long enough for others to come and save her, so she risked her life and went into the water. You should be grateful and thank my daughter. Forget it, you'd better stay away from my daughter. Nothing good will happen if you meet her."
