Chapter 627: The Story Within the Story Falling into the Water

The sound of falling into the water attracted the attention of people working nearby.

Some people gathered around in twos and threes to join in the fun, but they didn't seem to understand the situation.

Zhao Sheng walked to the bridge and looked down. The ripples in the river and the struggling clothes made him feel inexplicably strange.

During the dry season in winter, the water in the ditch is freezing cold, but it is definitely not deep enough to cover an adult's head.

The deepest part when standing up should only reach the neck or chest.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the bone-chilling river water made all the onlookers retreat.

"Who fell into the ditch? He didn't even struggle. Is he dead?"

"It seems like he is an educated youth. Why would he jump into the river when it's so cold instead of working?"

"Who among you will go down to the water to rescue them? If it's too late, they may be too late to be saved."

"Why should I save you? I can't swim."

"Don't look at me. I can't do that either."

…

The number of people on the river bank increased from two or three to seven or eight, but no one was willing to go into the river to rescue the person.

After all, no one wants to get into trouble. If someone catches a cold, the family will lose productivity and have to spend money on medicine.

If he hugs a grown girl, he will be in big trouble if he is accused of being a hooligan.

Zhao Liren knew that Lin Yiyi, who was at the educated youth point, got married because she lost her innocent reputation after she fell into the water and was rescued by the Black Demon.

So basically I keep an eye on the movements in the village ditch every day.

She didn't know what Lin Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing talked about by the river, but she saw with her own eyes that Lin Yiyi jumped into the river by herself.

Zhao Sheng also appeared at the riverside like in his previous life, but did not rescue people immediately.

When she saw Zhao Sheng about to put down his backpack and go into the river, Zhao Liren no longer hid aside to watch the fun, but rushed over to stop him.

"Brother, you're back? Go back quickly and don't mind your own business.

She didn't even stand up in such a shallow river, it was obvious that she was determined to die."

"If you save her, she will lose her innocent reputation. Saving her will just lead to her own death."

…

Zhao Sheng had an indifferent expression and looked at his younger sister coldly. He was a little surprised that she called him by that name and his attention immediately turned to her.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Liren pretended to be relaxed, "I was just out for a stroll and happened to see what happened by the river. The person who committed suicide by jumping into the river seemed to be Lin Zhiqing.

I guess he was just too upset about Yang Zhiqing's matter, and it was the end of the year so he wanted to have less trouble. "

"You'd better not get involved in the affairs of the educated youth center."

Zhao Sheng was just soft-hearted at first, and after being advised a few words, he felt that there was no need to meddle in other people's business.

If the person rescued is dead, it would cause trouble and we would have to pay money and waste our efforts.

He looked around and saw someone going to the river bank and holding out a pole for people in the river to grab, but the figure in the ditch was no longer moving.

…

The fountain downstairs of the comprehensive building of a certain university in Shanghai.

The person who fell into the fountain was seen by the aunt who was sweeping the area and started shouting.

"Ouch, someone come and help me, there's an electric leak in the fountain, someone is getting shocked."

The old lady's roar startled many onlookers.

They are at the age of passion, and everyone responds to the call. People are rushing to find brooms and sticks. In just a few minutes, they have pulled up the people in the fountain pool.

Someone accidentally stepped into the pool and found nothing unusual, "Oh, it seems there is no leakage."

"No matter if there is a power leak or not, send him to the infirmary first."

…

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Yiyi saw the face of a masked school doctor approaching.

"woke up?"

"You can leave after the drip. You are so young and your health is so poor. Don't stay up late."

"..."

Lin Yiyi was still a little dazed. She stared blankly at the IV bottle, her eyes following the tube to the back of her hand.

She has hypoglycemia again.

I shouldn’t have stayed up late reading novels yesterday. I didn’t have dinner or breakfast.

After the school doctor left, Lin Yiyi was the only one left in the infirmary.

I don’t know who sent her here. If no one helped, who knows what would have happened.

It was almost 11 o'clock when the infusion was finished, and it was too late to go to class. Thinking that there was only one class in the afternoon, Lin Yiyi went straight back to the dormitory to change her dirty clothes after leaving the infirmary.

The fountain hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long, and cement spots got all over her.

After changing clothes, Lin Yiyi went to the cafeteria to eat. Thinking about asking Xiaobai to wake her up last night, she only said that the facial mask was given to her for free.

Even if you buy it on Pinxixi, it’s a waste.

She opened her phone and browsed some audio app for a while, and all she saw were promotions for fantasy dramas. After dinner, she returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and began to think about falling into the pool just now.

The water in the fountain pool was not even calf-deep, so how could she have felt like she was sinking?

…

The winter wind was a bit cold, and the riverside was crowded with people.

By the time the educated youth arrived, the tragedy had already happened.

Lin Zhiqing, lying on the ground, had a gray and lifeless face, with a pool of dark water beneath him.

Yang Jingfeng didn't expect that Lin Yiyi was really looking for death. She was chasing after him and annoying him yesterday, but today they were separated by heaven and earth.

He had clearly rejected her, why was she so stupid?

The hibiscus flowers that were so pretty yesterday are now withered and fallen.

Liu Wenbo stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He clenched his hanging hands again and again, and finally took off his coat and covered Lin Yiyi's face with it.

I want her to go quietly and gracefully.

Wang Rulan, who was hiding in the crowd, had a pale face. She never expected that Lin Yiyi was so stupid. She jumped as soon as she was told to, and didn't even know to call for help after jumping. She died in the river so stupidly.

The river is not deep, I just need to stand up...

She was going to die, but she couldn't blame anyone else and it had nothing to do with her.

When the village chief Zhao Tieniu came back from a meeting in town, he heard that something had happened in the village. He pushed his bicycle to the river and almost suffocated.

The end of the year is approaching, how could this happen?

How is he going to explain to his superiors the death of an educated youth?

After half a day of investigation and questioning, the matter was quickly resolved. Lin Zhiqing committed suicide by jumping into the river because of love.

A few wooden boards were put together and the body was buried in the back mountain that day.

Many villagers sighed and expressed their pity that he was so handsome, but he did not cherish his life and was gone just like that.

Some people also scolded her for being stubborn and a useless person.

The dead are the greatest, but the people who say this are actually only a minority.

Most villagers blamed the educated youth for causing too much trouble and resulting in deaths, and for not being rated as an advanced production team and having to receive less money and food.

The most people cursed the male educated youth Yang Jingfeng, saying that he did not help a man in need and was cruel and vicious.

Knowing that Lin Zhiqing jumped into the river out of anger for him, he should have calmed her down first, whether he liked her or not. If he had given her some time and given her more guidance, the incident would have been resolved.

The death of the female educated youth cast a gloomy shadow over the winter of 1974, and also added a layer of sorrow to the bustling Zhaojiatun.

.....

Zhao Sheng will only stay at home for a few days this time. After Huang Youming collects the herbs, he will have to take advantage of the time before the New Year to make another trip to the south.

Without Lin Yiyi, Zhao Liren was sure that this world had overlapped with the book she was reading.

Will the plot develop according to the original book in the future?

It will not become unrecognizable like in the previous life.

The weather was getting colder day by day. Zhao Liren wanted to take the initiative to get close to the Black Demon God every day, but every time she met his eyes that could see through everything, she couldn't help but step back.

I finally mustered up the courage to ask him what he wanted to eat for lunch.

The other person ignored her and just turned and left.

A few days later, Zhao Sheng left the village early in the morning, went to the town to confirm the herbal medicine with Huang Youming, and then returned to Ze County Iron and Steel Plant.

Considering that it would be inconvenient to go to Jinji Town after the snow next month, Zhao Sheng would have to travel to Jinji Town for half a month to get raw materials before making a long journey to the south.

His days were as peaceful as before.

However, trouble broke out in Zhaojiatun again.
