Chapter 18 Falling into the Water

However, Yuan Xiao only cared about asking for help from Gu Lanting in front of her, but forgot to pay attention to her feet. In a hurry, she missed a step and fell into the river with a splash.

The cold river water immediately poured into her mouth and nose, and the memory of jumping into the river to commit suicide before her rebirth came back to her. It was as if the fear from the abyss attacked her, making her hands and feet stiff, and she forgot to struggle for a while.

Gu Lanting subdued Liu Yang at the first moment and was about to jump into the river to save her.

Liu Yang shouted, "Gu Public Security! If you jump in and have skin-to-skin contact with her, you will have to marry this girl! This girl is too ugly, how can she be worthy of you! If it weren't for the 50 yuan gift from my dad, I wouldn't want to marry this girl!"

Gu Lanting's eyes were heavy, and he hesitated.

Yuan Xiao, who was still struggling in the water, felt cold in her heart. No one knew better than her how much Gu Lanting wanted to leave her behind.

She gulped down a few sips of water, "I... I don't want... you to save me!"

If you don't want to save me, I still look down on you! Who is not a little baby!

"Single guy, use the energy water, I... can't hold on any longer!"

"Ding! The energy water has been used successfully! Host, please take a rest and don't get too excited!"

Hey your sister!

Yuan Xiao held her breath and stopped struggling.

She remembered reading on the Internet before that if you stop struggling, you will slowly float up, at least you won't drown.

There is also an element of gambling in this, even the same method will show different results for different people.

However, facts have proved that Yuan Xiao made the right bet.

After she stopped struggling, her body relaxed, and she began to sink gradually, and then she felt a slight buoyancy pulling her up.

Yuan Xiao didn't even dare to breathe too hard, and slowly paddled with her hands, getting closer to the shore little by little.

Until Yuan Xiao successfully reached the shore, Gu Lanting stretched out his arms, trying to pull her up.

Yuan Xiao didn't even look at him, she just climbed up the shore.

She picked up the baskets and vegetables that fell on the shore one by one, hugged them to her chest, walked to Liu Yang with a cold expression, and kicked him hard in the lower body!

"Ah——"

Liu Yang screamed miserably, almost fainting from the pain.

Yuan Xiao shook the water off her hair, "This hooligan will be handed over to Public Security Gu."

Her voice was flat, without any resentment towards him for not saving her, but it was a little colder than usual.

Gu Lanting made a sound from the depths of his throat, "Yeah."

He looked at her back as she left resolutely. She was obviously shivering with cold, but even her back was full of stubbornness.

He gritted his teeth, his jaw clenched tightly, a complex look appeared in his deep eyes, and his heart seemed to be blocked by a stream of anger, unable to go up or down. , no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any strength!

He punched his chest with a big fist, lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Yang with a cold expression, "Come with me to the Public Security Bureau."

Liu Yang met his cold eyes and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with cold despair in his heart.

Yuan Xiao couldn't care what would happen to Liu Yang.

She returned home with the things in her arms, and Wang Yazhi saw from a distance that she was soaked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

There were people working next to the house, and Yuan Xiao couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he went in and asked Wang Yazhi to boil water for her to take a bath.

Yuan Xiao was in trouble, and Wang Yazhi was in no mood to invite the workers to dinner, so she gave them their wages and let them go home first.

After Yuan Xiao cleaned himself up, he told Wang Yazhi what had just happened.

Wang Yazhi couldn't help but curse: "I must kill this bastard!"

As she said that, she was about to rush out to settle the score with someone.

Yuan Xiao hesitated for a long time before he stopped, "Mom, I'm fine now! Liu Yang has been taken back to the Public Security Bureau by Gu Gongan. He is guilty of hooliganism, which is not a light crime."

Wang Yazhi's chest heaved and she was panting heavily, obviously very angry.

Yuan Xiao took out a wad of money from the wet clothes and put it in front of her, "Mom, this is the money I earned from selling rose cakes today."

Wang Yazhi widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Does anyone really buy that expensive stuff?"

Yuan Xiao told her the price, and she felt it was unreliable. One yuan a bag, only someone crazy would buy it.

What's the matter, are there so many crazy people?

The mother and daughter counted the money, there were exactly 35 yuan and 60 cents here, and there were also various bills.

"Oh my goodness, Mom never thought that she could make so much money in her life!" Wang Yazhi couldn't help but sigh.

She had been working like a slave in Old Yuan's house for so many years, and she only had ten yuan by scraping together money!

At this rate, they can really buy a house in the county!

Yuan Xiao gave her thirty yuan to keep, and she could take the rest of the change. He also gave her a stack of bills to keep.

"Mom, this is still not enough. We will have more money in the future!"

Wang Yazhi put the money away with a smile, like a money-grubber.

"By the way, Liangzi just came and said that the bathtub is ready and will be delivered later."

Wang Yazhi originally thought that building a bathroom and a bathtub was a waste of money, but now she is confident. Yuan Xiao had suffered too much in the past, so she can make whatever she wants.

Yuan Xiao got up to cook, and Wang Yazhi suddenly thought of something, looked embarrassed, and followed him out.

"Xiaoxiao, when you fell into the water, did the police rescue you?"

Although it is no longer the old society, the country people are conservative. If this news gets out, there will still be many people who will gossip.

Yuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, but his hands did not stop. The good mood when he was counting the money just now faded a little.

She smiled, "No, he just helped me."

Wang Yazhi didn't know how critical the situation was at that time, and she just thought that Yuan Xiao just wet his clothes.

Hearing that Gu Gongan didn't go down, she was slightly relieved.

It didn't matter what people said about her, but Yuan Xiao was an innocent girl and couldn't let people point fingers at her for no reason.

Yuan Xiao was cooking absent-mindedly, and her mind was in a mess, all because of Gu Lanting's cold eyes.

He really didn't give any chance to people he was not interested in.

If she hadn't said that she didn't need his rescue, would he have jumped down?

Yuan Xiao quickly put this question behind her, and only hoped that she would not have any intersection with Gu Lanting in the future.

"Single dog, is there any way to detect Cheng Feng's system mission?"

Yuan Xiao didn't know if she was overthinking, she felt that Liu Yang's matter was inseparable from Cheng Feng.

Single dog:...

"Sorry host, the scope of the system mission cannot be detected by this system."

Yuan Xiao cursed secretly, and with all due respect to you, you are really worse than a pile of shit.

She felt a little frustrated, this was really too passive. There are thieves who work for a thousand days, but there is no one who guards against thieves for a thousand days.

She treated the dough in her hand as Cheng Feng and Gu Lanting, and punched it again and again, but still felt unsatisfied.

"But..." Single Dog suddenly spoke up, "Host, the system has a divine eye monitor for you to buy, but it's a little expensive for your current situation."

"Monitor? Didn't you say the mall hasn't opened yet?"

Single Dog said, "This belongs to this system, and this system has to make some extra money."
