Chapter 143 Falling into the Water

Lin Jiahuan heard someone talking.

The man shouted: "I'm going to fail the exam, I'm going to fail the exam." The voice was sharp and harsh, and she couldn't help but cover her ears, but the voice still got into her ears.

Lin Jiahuan was extremely scared. There was something blocking her heart, and she couldn't shout or breathe.

There was another gentle voice outside the window: "Come on, come out. When you come out, you will forget about the exam and the things that make you sad."

That voice made her racing heart feel a little calmer. Lin Jiahuan was seduced by the voice and couldn't help but turn around and look at Lin Jiale.

Lin Jiale was sleeping on another bed, and his breathing was still as even as ever.

I envy her so much, she is my mother’s happiest daughter.

Lin Jiahuan shed tears. If I fail the exam, my mother's love for me will all disappear. She was afraid again.

She must follow that voice, forget about exams, and stop being afraid.

Lin Jiahuan got out of bed, wore barefoot cloth slippers, and quietly went out.

She didn't know where she was going, so she followed the guidance of the illusory, gentle voice and walked through a branch of Fishbone Alley towards the canal.

Gu Huai followed from a distance, not daring to disturb her, and curious about what she wanted to do when she wandered out in the middle of the night.

In fact, in high school, Gu Huai also had a classmate who was acting abnormally because he was too stressed about his studies. He saw with his own eyes the scars on the boy's wrists.

Although Gu Huai was not good at words, he could feel the pain of these scars.

At this time, he was following Lin Jiahuan like this, and suddenly he had the same feeling as when he saw the scars of his classmates. The pain was the same.

Lin Jiahuan in front had already walked out of the alley, crossed an ancient bridge, and got off the other side of the bridge. The bridge was very high, and after a few steps across the bridge, Lin Jiahuan was no longer visible.

Gu Huai was nervous and didn't care about exposing his traces. He ran up the bridge in three steps and two steps at a time.

But he saw that Lin Jiahuan had already walked under the bridge and walked along the bridge pier to the river pier. The pier is where residents usually wash clothes and wash rice. It is level with the water surface of the canal. Now that it is the flood season, the water level of the canal is slightly higher than usual, and several stone steps are submerged.

As he watched, Lin Jiahuan walked into the water -

"Lin Jiahuan!" Gu Huai shouted and rushed off the bridge.

Lin Jiahuan was startled, turned around and looked back, only to see a figure rushing towards her. Before she could react, the figure passed by her and fell directly into the water.

This sudden scene instantly woke up Lin Jiahuan.

All the examinations and sounds disappeared in an instant, and she only saw a person flopping on the river.

"Ah, who are you and what are you doing?" she exclaimed, looking around for something to rescue her.

In fact, Gu Huai was not far away.

He saw Lin Jiahuan walking into the water, the water even covered her shoes, and Gu Huai wanted to rush down and grab her. However, he was not good at sports by nature, and he was completely different from his fighting hero brother and ballet goddess sister. In a hurry, he ran down the steps, but unfortunately, his foot missed...

So instead of being able to catch Lin Jiahuan, he tilted his body and fell into the water.

Poor Gu Huai couldn't swim, so he opened his mouth in panic and called for help, but before he could make a sound, the river water ruthlessly poured into his mouth, choking him and making him confused and unable to make a sound.

While fluttering, he touched a board and clung to it as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

There seemed to be power on the board, dragging him forward.

The river water hit his face, and his vision was blurred. In the darkness, he vaguely heard Lin Jiahuan shouting: "Catch it, catch it."

In fact, it only took a few seconds, but to Gu Huai's feeling, it seemed like a long time had passed.

He kicked forward along the wooden board and finally climbed to the steps on the river bank. Holding on to the steps, he finally felt that he had touched the earth again.

Want to cry.

He sat down on the steps with difficulty, half of his body still immersed in the water, wiped his face fiercely, and found that his glasses were gone.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the distance from the Gate of Hell to the shore. In fact, it was only half a meter.

So embarrassing.

When Gu Huai saw clearly the wooden board Lin Jiahuan was holding, he felt even more embarrassed.

It was a washboard, probably left on the pier by some grandmother. The washboard was just a little longer. Lin Jiahuan raised a hand from the shore and fished him out.

"Brother Xiao Huai?" Lin Jiahuan recognized him and exclaimed.

"Jia Huan, are you okay?" He still didn't forget his duty. He was here to prevent Lin Jiahuan from falling into trouble, even though he himself also fell into trouble.

Lin Jiahuan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a chill on his legs. When I looked down, I saw that I was in the water below my knees, and my cloth slippers were gone.

Only then did he remember that he had been lured here by that voice.

Lin Jiahuan shook his head in confusion, and the voice did not come again. Sometimes, she suspected that it was an illusion, but most of the time the voice was too real, so real that she felt that there were really so many people accompanying her and extraditing her.

But at this moment, the sounds disappeared. There was only the cold moonlight, the cold river water, and two people who fell into the water on the dock.

"I'm fine." She panicked and stepped back a few steps, completely out of the water of the canal, as if this could prove that she had never had anything to do with the river.

"It's okay." Gu Huai also crawled out of the river and walked to Lin Jiahuan. He was very ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, I fell. Did I scare you?" "

No, no." The Lin family said Huan said quickly.

"Thank you, Jia Huan. Without you, I would have fed the water ghost tonight."

Lin Jiahuan whispered awkwardly: "Without me, Brother Xiao Huai wouldn't have fallen into the water tonight."

What is she? Smart. Everyone knows that the eldest grandson of the Gu family, Wen Quxing, has descended to earth, has no ears to hear what is going on outside the window, and only reads the books of sages. Have you ever seen him come and go at night?

It's very likely that Gu Qia told him something.

"Did Brother Xiao Huai follow me out?" Lin Jiahuan asked.

"Yeah." Gu Huai subconsciously wanted to adjust his glasses, but he held them empty. The glasses are like water ghosts.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Lin Jiahuan whispered.

"I happened to be reading in the evening, and I saw you going out when I was upstairs. I knew you had your graduation exam tomorrow, so I felt strange when you went out, so I followed you."

Gu Huai said embarrassedly: "I watched you go into the river. , I'm afraid something will happen."

Lin Jiahuan sat on the steps, holding his trouser legs with his hands, and sighed deeply: "Thank you, Brother Huai, can I tell you the truth? If you didn't come, something might really happen to me."

"Really? I thought I was wrong."

Lin Jiahuan shook his head: "You were not wrong. You heard Brother Xiao Qia say that, so you would be worried when you see me going out in the middle of the night."

Gu Huai wouldn't either . Lie and nod silently.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, although Xiao Qia told me about your situation, I promise, I won't discriminate against you."

Lin Jiahuan looked at him deeply: "Xiao Huai Brother, your grades are so good, how did you survive the night before the exam? "

To be honest, Gu Huai can't do this question.

He just loves to study and has endless fun in doing the questions. He will be excited when he thinks about going to the exam room the next day.

Boil, does not exist.

But facing Lin Jiahuan, who was overwhelmed by pressure, no matter how eloquent he was, Gu Huai knew that there were some things he couldn't say.

"I just thought, let's take the exam soon. I'll be relieved after the exam. Then... we can prepare for the next exam."

Lin Jiahuan was stunned for two seconds. This was a reply she had never expected.

It's not even experience at all.

"Aren't you afraid of failing the exam?" Lin Jiahuan asked timidly, as if this question would blaspheme the "Wenquxing" in front of him.

Gu Huai shook his head: "I never thought about it. I have always been number one in the school. The top 20 in our school can go to Beijing. Why should I worry about failing the exam?"

He is the god of No. 1 Middle School in the city, even if a few years have passed. , teachers today will still talk about him as a role model to their students.

Lin Jiahuan was suddenly struck.

She murmured: "Someone told me that I would fail in the exam. This person knows everything."

Gu Huai thought for a while, and from his experience, this should be Lin Jiahuan's hallucination.

If you are a mature adult, you may be able to realize that you are hallucinating. Although Lin Jiahuan in front of you is the height of an adult, his face still looks like a child.

She shouldn't be able to tell the difference between reality and illusion.

They may even rationalize the irrational things in their hallucinations through their own imagination.

Gu Huai asked: "Which junior high school are you in, Jiahuan?"

"Experimental junior high school."

"What a coincidence, me too!" He sounded excited, as if he had finally found a common topic.

Lin Jiahuan said, "I know. You were always number one in the school when you were in junior high school."

Gu Huai ignored this and asked, "What's your rank in the mock test?"

Lin Jiahuan said, "Second in the first mock test, second in the second mock test. First."

"All grades?"

"Yeah."

Gu Huai smiled, his tone relaxed, "Then what are you afraid of?"

"But..."

" Even if you fail the test, 50 points is enough. Based on my understanding of the experiment, you can still be in the top 50, right?"

"Yeah." Lin Jiahuan was somewhat impressed. Even though he graduated so many years ago, Gu Huai still knows the experimental junior high school very well.

"That is to say, you can get into the city's No. 1 Middle School if you fail in the exam. But if you fall into the water today, you won't be able to get in."

Lin Jiahuan was suddenly convinced by him.

I feel that my previous worries were indeed unnecessary. So what if I fail the exam? As long as I sit in the examination room and finish writing the examination papers, I will be accepted into the No. 1 Middle School.

But if people don’t go to the exam room and fill up the exam paper, then there will definitely be no chance.

"Brother Xiao Huai. In fact, there is some truth. My parents also said it, but I always feel that they are trying to comfort me. I believe what you said."

Gu Huai said: "Don't think too much, it's like this now... ...Ah...ah!"

He sneezed violently. Only then did he feel cold all over his body, and all his wet clothes stuck to his body.

Lin Jiahuan also came back to his senses: "Oh, brother Xiao Huai, you are all wet. Don't catch a cold. Go home quickly."

"Then you go home too."

The two of them left as soon as they said it, and stood up from the steps. Hurry back to Fishbone Lane.

This speed must be more than ten times faster than when we arrived.

Walking to the alley, Gu Huai said: "You go in first, I won't worry until you go back."
