Chapter 136 Safety is the most important
He whispered to Qin Mahua, not wanting the rest of the family to hear, "Mom, I actually know her difficulties. She refuses to marry because she's worried about bringing trouble to her in-laws. A doctor who might know her father's background was nearly killed and is still in a coma. Another time, she was nearly robbed, which might be related to her father's background. She won't marry anyone until she finds out about her father's background."
Qin Mahua's heart skipped a beat. Someone almost died. It seemed that things were not that simple. "Could it be that her father's parents' background..."
Before she could finish, Mu Chenze gestured for silence, "Mom, keep your voice down. Don't worry about Chu Xuan's family affairs. I know what to do. She's done a favor for our family, I can't just sit there and watch. Don't worry about me taking care of things. Right now, it doesn't matter whether I like her or not, and it doesn't matter whether we can be together. The most important thing is that we're both safe."
Having said that, Qin Mahua will not say anything more.
After this in-depth conversation, Qin Mahua became more certain that when dealing with Xiaoze and Xiaoxuan, they should just let things flow naturally and live peacefully.
More than twenty minutes later, Mu Chenze pulled a cart into Chu Xuan's yard.
As soon as he put down the cart, Chu Xuan walked forward and asked softly, "Can you tell me about the dream you just had? I once had a dream where someone pushed me into the sea. I wonder if it's the same."
Mu Chenze thought she was joking, "How is that possible? Who are you trying to fool? I won't tell you. Finish packing the grilled fish fillets as soon as possible, and you and Xiaofeng can rest early. I still have to go to the dock to check the market."
Chu Xuan said seriously, "I didn't lie to you. I dreamed that Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua tricked me into taking a boat to the county town to get money, and then pushed me into the sea."
"I didn't dream about why you were on the boat. I only dreamed that they pushed you into the sea. I searched for you on the sea for a long time, but couldn't find you. Although our dreams were a little different, there was one thing in common: Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua harmed you. You can't swim. When you go to the beach tomorrow, prepare an extra set of clothes. I'll come find you after I get back from the city. The temperature is pretty good this season, suitable for swimming lessons."
"Okay." Chu Xuan was deeply moved.
She was determined to learn how to swim because she had been pushed into the sea in her previous life.
Mu Chenze came to teach her how to swim just because of a dream.
Mu Chenze's concern for her has exceeded her imagination.
She felt that she owed Mu Chenze more and more.
I don’t know how to thank him or how to repay my debt.
The best way to pay off your debt is not to marry him.
Chu Feng squatted in the bedroom and did not come out until he heard the two of them start to carry the grilled fish fillets, then he ran out to help.
After a while, about 260 kilograms of grilled fish fillets were moved onto the cart.
There are still fifty kilograms left for Zhang Feifei. Tomorrow morning, Uncle Qi will come to take it away and put it on the bus.
After watching Mu Chenze leave, Chu Xuan and his sister went in to rest.
On the way home, Mu Chenze suddenly figured it out.
There would definitely not be any emotional connection between Chu Xuan and Wei Qiang, because Chu Xuan didn't want to implicate anyone...
The next morning, Chu Xuan said goodbye to Gao Meijuan and the others, and went out with his sea-hunting tools and a backpack.
There are clothes prepared in advance in the backpack.
Still taking the mountain road to the secret spot for catching seafood.
When we got there, the tide was out.
Chu Xuan followed the tide and saw a half-meter-long cutlassfish and a dozen thirty-centimeter-long horse mackerel. The fish were all dead, but when he checked their gills, they were all very fresh.
Happily put them all into the backpack.
Chu Xuan went to the tide pool to check, but there was nothing good there.
Just a few small fish and shellfish.
Just as he was hesitating whether to catch the small fish, Mu Chenze's sweet voice came, "You still plan to catch such a tiny fish? Let me teach you how to swim first, so hurry up."
Chu Xuan looked at the sea and it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.
"Mu Chenze, how about we pick a small river to practice swimming first? I'm afraid that a wave will come and hit me on the beach, but if I'm swept into the sea, my life will be..."
"Pfft, pfft, what depressing words are you talking about? The tide will be high soon, perfect for swimming. Besides, I'm here, so how can the waves sweep you away? Carry your things to the shore first, and leave your shoes over too."
"All right!"
Chu Xuan did as he was told.
Twenty minutes later, Chu Xuan stood in the sea, which was up to his waist.
To avoid accidents, Chu Xuan tied a long rope around his body.
The other end was tied to a tree trunk on the shore.
At Chu Xuan's insistence, Mu Chenze also tied a long rope to himself, but the other end was on Chu Xuan.
He demonstrated personally, "Chu Xuan, listen carefully. If you accidentally fall into the sea, you must remain calm and be careful not to extend your arms above the surface. Lie flat on your back, with only your mouth, nose, and face exposed. Relax, and you won't sink."
Mu Chenze floated on the sea, with only his mouth, nose and face exposed.
Even though Mu Chenze was as steady as lying on the bed, Chu Xuan still didn't dare to practice this kind of floating.
"Mu Chenze, I'm scared. I'll only dare to practice if you stand next to me. If I sink, please save me immediately."
Mu Chenze changed his swimming style, treading water with his feet, and his head emerged from the sea. "I'm right next to you! The life rope on you is not for decoration. And the water here is not deep, only up to your waist."
Chu Xuan showed a rare timid look. "No matter how deep the sea is, I'm afraid of just my mouth, nose, and face being exposed. You're too far away. Come closer."
I still remember vividly the feeling of suffocation caused by water entering my mouth and nose in my previous life.
Mu Chenze was helpless, "Half a meter is still far?"
"Of course it's far. You have to make sure I can reach you with just one arm."
"Look at you, you're such a coward. Don't say I'm taking advantage of you. I'll lend you my hand."
In fact, Chu Xuan took advantage of him.
Mu Chenze stretched out his hand, but it was not above the sea level.
Chu Xuan quickly held his hand.
Mu Chenze's hand was so tight that it hurt. "Can you be a little gentler? Don't hold my hand so hard. Forget it, I'll hold your wrist!"
"Sorry! I'm a little nervous."
Chu Xuan quickly let go of his hand and let Mu Chenze hold her wrist.
Mu Chenze said gently, "Believe me! You can definitely float, try it."
"good."
Chu Xuan followed his instructions and relaxed, leaving only his mouth, nose and face exposed above the sea.
She actually floated.
Mu Chenze encouraged, "Very good! If you are afraid of the waves hitting your face, you can cover your face with one hand to block it. Don't raise your elbow above the surface of the sea..."
Chu Xuan tried to do it, but still floated.
She didn't realize that Mu Chenze had let go of her wrist.
After floating for a while, he realized what was happening, stood up in a hurry, and drank a mouthful of sea water.
"Pfft..."
Really salty.
She didn't go after Mu Chenze. In fact, the sea water just reached her waist. As long as she stayed calm, she wouldn't choke.
Don’t blame Mu Chenze, blame yourself for being too timid.
As if she was unwilling to admit defeat, this time she grabbed Mu Chenze's wrist and practiced floating again.
When she successfully floated to the surface of the sea, she took the initiative to let go of Mu Chenze's wrist.
Keep practicing.
Before she knew it, the tide had risen, and when Chu Xuan stood up again, the sea water had already reached her shoulders.
Mu Chenze taught her how to tread water and took her to swim to the shore.
Suddenly, Chu Xuan's leg cramped. "It hurts... my leg cramps..."
