Just as Ling Huanwu was at a loss for how to answer, Lin Xiaoqin came to find her with her brother and triplets.
"Hey, you bourgeoisie, what are you doing? What's there to talk about with that scumbag? Come out here, I have some good news for you!"
Lin Xiaoqin and several children peeked out from the doorway. She glared at Zhou Jiuzhen impatiently, then waved for Ling Huanwu to come out.
Ling Huanwu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly took the opportunity to slip away.
She pinched Lin Xiaoqin's puffed-up cheek, finding it quite amusing. "You were calling him Brother Zhen just a few days ago, and now you're a scumbag?"
When she first arrived on the island a few months ago, this girl still had stars in her eyes when she saw Zhou Jiuzhen.
Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, this girl developed a strong disdain for Zhou Jiuzhen, calling him a scumbag.
This girl stood up for Zhou Jiuzhen because he insisted on breaking up with her after Zhou Jiuzhen suffered a head injury.
Lin Xiaoqin pouted and continued to complain, "He's a scumbag to begin with! You're so good to him, and he still treats you like that!"
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, and her face immediately lit up with excitement as she told her about Song Yaoyao being arrested and detained again.
This time, she slandered others in front of important figures. I'm afraid she'll have to give birth in prison and won't be able to get out for three to five years.
It was also said that Commander Huo was swift and decisive, immediately interrogating Zhou Shuyao and verifying through handwriting comparison that he was not a spy.
Zhou Shuyao has now been released.
Ling Huanwu had already learned about these things while she was in the army.
Because she had heard Song Yaoyao's wailing and screaming the whole time she was being taken away, constantly crying out, "Impossible! Impossible! Those people were clearly dead, how could they come back to life? Ling Huanwu is the murderer, she is the murderer!"
Her voice was filled with terror, and she seemed to be going mad.
Ling Huanwu was also filled with lingering fear. The entire pot of white rice had been eaten, leaving no evidence whatsoever. Fortunately, the villagers were unharmed after drinking the spiritual spring water; otherwise, she would have spent the rest of her life filled with guilt.
Just then, the triplets and Lin Xiaoqin's younger brother skipped over and took her hand, "Auntie, the tide is out now, let's go to the beach to collect seashells and conches!"
The four children pulled her towards the beach.
Lin Xiaoqin followed, carrying the bucket of water, calling out, "Wait for me..."
Inside the house, Zhou Jiuzhen was puzzled as to why the little girl had been rolling her eyes at him. Watching the group leave, he followed them to the beach.
The sun was setting at that moment.
In late autumn, the intertidal zone is dyed a deep purplish-red.
The receding tide glistens on the mudflats, and a sea breeze sweeps through the Suaeda salsa bushes, lifting the seeds hidden among the purplish-red leaves into the air.
Four children were running and playing on the beach.
The tiny white downy hairs covering the brown seeds in the Suaeda salsa bushes look like millions of burning sparks in the setting sun.
A sea breeze blew by, and countless sparks flew across the sky, enveloping the woman in her beige dress in a sea of sparks.
It flickered past her rolled-up trouser legs, her bright eyes and brows, and her flowing hair.
Ling Huanwu looked at the innocent smiles on the children's faces as they picked up seashells on the beach not far away, and couldn't help but be infected by them, slowly curving her lips into a carefree smile.
Zhou Jiuzhen stood there dumbfounded, watching the woman standing on the mudflats where crimson and orange hues intertwined, surrounded by a sky full of flying "sparks".
The seeds shone brightly in the wind, and when they touched her hair, they looked like tiny diamonds; when they fell into her eyes, they became a flowing galaxy.
Her smile was bright and pure.
She seemed to see the Suaeda salsa seeds flying all around her and reached out to catch them.
I couldn't help but hold these seeds in my hands and slowly spin them on this romantic and beautiful beach.
As the tide rises, the Suaeda salsa var. salsa ripples with a purple mist in the water, and the seeds dancing around it transform the entire beach at dusk into a fiery romance.
Zhou Jiuzhen stroked his wildly beating heart, his eyes unable to leave the woman for even a moment...
Inside the detention center.
Zhou Shuyao and Song Yaoyao, who was heavily pregnant, brushed past each other in front of the iron gate.
Zhou Shuyao was released, while Song Yaoyao was put back in.
Suddenly, Song Yaoyao, who had been lifeless, turned around and knelt down in front of him with a "thump," grabbing his trouser leg and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Shuyao, we've been husband and wife for a while, please find a way to save me. I don't want my children to be born knowing that their mother has been to prison. They are still your three children!"
At that moment, Zhou Shuyao was momentarily moved, but did not immediately pull up his trouser leg and leave.
He remembered his triplets from his previous life.
Finally, he decided to forgive her for accusing him of being a spy, and left the detention center hastily after saying, "I'll find a way."
Zhou Shuyao didn't know if Ling Huanwu had also been reborn, but during the few days he was imprisoned, he recalled the bits and pieces of their life together in their previous life.
Although it was ordinary, it was full of happiness.
But in order to get a thrill and to test Ling Huanwu's reaction, he chose to betray her.
In his previous life, he had regretted it to the core.
No one knows what happened in the months following the news of her death.
He sits in the large villa every day, even without her, setting out bowls and chopsticks at the table where she usually sits, and serving her meat.
Lying on the empty bed beside me, I pretended she was still lying there and chatted with her enthusiastically.
He lived in guilt and despair day and night.
In the end, no one knew that he died a painful and remorseful death.
So, in this life, he was imprisoned, and the thought that he might never see his wife again filled him with regret. He didn't tell her everything about his rebirth.
All he wanted to do now was rush back and tell Ling Huanwu that she was his wife from a past life.
He wants to take advantage of Zhou Jiuzhen's amnesia to correct everything and win her back at any cost!
＊
The last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon.
Standing on a high place, Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin cupped their lips and called out, "Children, it's time to eat!"
After collecting the seashells, the children said goodbye to Lin Xiaoqin and Ling Huanwu and went home together.
Ling Huanwu was carrying a few seashells she had collected from the bucket, intending to go back.
Just then, large numbers of whitish dead fish suddenly appeared on the mudflats after the tide receded.
Ling Huanwu was allergic to fish and dared not go near them.
But considering that this place and the fish farm are in the same sea area, I wonder if these dead fish will affect the growth of clams in the fish farm.
After much internal struggle.
She still chose to turn around and leave.
An elderly person in the village once said that this was a sign of "the Dragon King of the Sea being angry".
She quickly turned back and walked towards the shore, but did not notice that the seawater was mysteriously receding into the distance.
She was unaware that this unusual "false low tide" was actually a precursor to a tsunami triggered by an undersea earthquake.
On his way back to his unit, Zhou Jiuzhen heard the village's loudspeaker intermittently broadcasting a marine warning, and at that moment, the first abnormal wave had already surged up.
Ling Huanwu belatedly realized that there were waves chasing her from behind, and in a panic, she climbed onto the reef in the middle of the sea.
Sitting on the rocks, the tide carrying dead fish slapped against her mud-covered trouser legs.
Looking around at the rising tide, her heart sank to the icy depths, filled with despair and terror...
