Chapter 138 Falling into the Water
The comrades next door were unhappy watching from a distance, so they came up to discuss with Lin Beibei and the others and asked them to let them use the ice cave for a while, after all, they also contributed.
Lin Beibei and the others would definitely not be happy about this. Food is so precious right now and these are all meat. How could they just give them away?
Several people started arguing.
The comrade next door kept on holding on.
Lin Beibei was not afraid of any of them. After this period of training, her tongue became more and more skillful. She was like a fish in water in quarrels and could naturally argue with reason.
As the argument went on, a female comrade from the next village became angry and pushed Lin Wenxi, who was standing with his back to Xia Zhizhi.
The ice was very slippery. Lin Wenxi wasn't very smart to begin with, so he didn't know how to dodge. With a whoosh, he slid into the ice hole next to him. With a splash, water splashed up half a meter high.
If a person this heavy fell into a puddle, he would sink several meters due to gravity and disappear in an instant.
The others were startled. Lin Beibei, Lin Yuanyuan, and Lin Junfei no longer cared about the quarrel. They dropped the fishing line in their hands, lay down at the edge of the hole, and reached into the puddle to catch fish. As they caught fish, they shouted in panic, "Aunt, Aunt!"
Seeing the man fall in, four unfamiliar young men nearby were so scared that they ran away.
The remaining young man was stunned for a moment, then ran to the edge of the pit and stretched out his hands to scoop up the fish together with the children.
The ice layer alone was nearly one meter thick. They could just reach the water surface by reaching their hands down, but Lin Wenxi sank directly under. There was nothing they could catch.
Lin Yuanyuan was so scared that she started to cry. She cried out heartbreakingly, “Aunt, aunt, please come up quickly, wow…wuwuwuwuwuwuwu…”
Her father is Lin Wenxi's eldest brother, and this is her aunt. She drowned the first time she was brought out. How can she explain to her grandfather when she returns?
What if her grandfather thought that she disliked the old aunt and mistakenly thought that she was a vicious child and deliberately drowned the old aunt?
The three children were so scared that they cried and screamed.
Before they could cry for too long, Lin Wenxi floated up again due to inertia, and his head hit the ice layer next to him with a bang.
The man next to her had longer arms, and he quickly grabbed Lin Wenxi's hair and pulled her head out of the water. Then he grabbed her collar and tried to pull Lin Wenxi up with gritted teeth.
It was winter now, and he went into the water wearing a thick cotton jacket. He and his clothes must have weighed several hundred kilograms, and the ice was nearly a meter thick. How could he possibly pull the person up? It was good enough that he could pull Lin Wenxi and not let her get washed away by the water.
"Aunt!"
"Aunt, you scared me to death!"
"Wow wow wow!"
The three kids hurriedly pulled Lin Wenxi's arm out and pulled her arm to help.
During this time, Xia Zhizhi also walked to the edge of the ice cave. She took Lin Wenxi's hand and then arranged the three children.
"Yuanyuan, go find your grandfather."
"Beibei, go find the captain and bring the mule here."
"Junjiang went to find the Korean educated youth."
"Run away and come back quickly."
When the three children saw their acquaintances, they became more confident and obediently ran to call the adults.
Xia Zhizhi said to the man, "The cotton jacket is too heavy, we can't pull it up. Hold her arm and don't let go. I will take the jacket off for her."
The gay man nodded.
Xia Zhizhi reached out to unbutton Lin Wenxi's clothes, and Lin Wenxi cooperated very well.
Xia Zhizhi threw her wet cotton shirt aside, and then she and the male comrade each grabbed one arm and tried to pull Lin Wenxi up. In fact, she could have pulled the person up by herself, but looking at Lin Wenxi's burning eyes, she decided to put on a show.
Lin Wenxi knew that he had to lean back, first using his left knee to support the bottom edge of the ice layer, then using his right foot to push the ice layer, and the whole person came out of the cave lightly.
The movements were so agile and powerful that Xia Zhizhi dared to say that even the two unlucky male protagonists would not be able to do the same if they were trapped in the trap.
As soon as she came up, Lin Wenxi took off her shoes and cotton pants. Xia Zhizhi spread out the towel blanket to cover her. Seeing this, the male comrade quickly turned around.
Without being told, Lin Wenxi was completely naked in less than thirty seconds.
Xia Zhizhi hurried forward and wrapped her up in a towel blanket several times. Fortunately, the towel blanket was big enough, and after wrapping her up several times, it was able to keep out some of the cold.
But at this temperature, no matter how thick the towel blanket was, it could not save a person who had just crawled out of an ice hole. Lin Wenxi was wrapped like a caterpillar, trying to curl up into a ball to maintain his body temperature, but he still couldn't help shivering.
Xia Zhizhi squatted down and put her arms around her to shield her from the wind. Seeing this, Lin Wenxi rubbed her head against Xia Zhizhi's neck.
Xia Zhizhi ruthlessly backed away and warned her: "Your hair is so wet, if you rub it against me again, I will not care about you."
Lin Wenxi paused and had to stop his little movements.
Captain, they arrived very quickly.
The conditions in their brigade were pretty good, and some well-off families could afford an extra cotton-padded jacket.
When going out fishing this time, the team leader searched the village and brought two or three extra jackets. This was in case a member of the cooperative fell into the river while working by it. He wanted to have someone to help him in case of emergency. And now it is put to use.
Lin Wenxi put on her jacket, but unfortunately she didn't have any extra pants, so she was still wrapped in the towel blanket. Her father carried her to the mule.
She was shivering on the mule, knowing that it would be cold after falling into the puddle. The captain brought the dog along, as the dog was warm, so he asked Lin Wenxi to hug the dog to keep it warm. The dog was afraid of heights, so it shivered on the mule with her.
Han Youran poured a jar of brown sugar ginger tea and handed it to Lin Wenxi. Lin Wenxi drank the warm sugar water in one gulp and felt as if he was alive again.
Arriving at the straw shed, Lin Wenxi quickly squatted beside the brazier to warm himself by the fire. The villagers added a few pieces of firewood and straw to make the fire burn vigorously.
Lin Guorong put the remaining two shirts on Lin Wenxi and made her drink two pots of hot water. When her hair was half dry, her face, which had been frozen pale and purple, began to become a little rosy.
Han Youran touched Lin Wenxi's head and confirmed, "She has a fever."
It's normal to have a fever after spending so much time in the ice pit.
Lin Wenxi was in a daze, and she leaned on Han Youran's hand. Afraid that she would fall asleep and fall into the brazier, Han Youran simply reached out and hugged her.
Lin Wenxi fell into Han Youran's arms.
Soon, Xia Zhizhi noticed that Han Youran's expression froze.
Xia Zhizhi glanced down and saw Lin Wenxi's hand on Han Youran's chest, squeezing it twice.
Seeing that she was dizzy from the burning, Han Youran resisted the urge to push her into the brazier. He took a deep breath and took Lin Wenxi's hand away.
Lin Wenxi took advantage of the situation and pinched Han Youran's hand and touched it twice.
Thinking that this child had a bad brain since childhood and was now in a state of confusion, Han Youran gritted his teeth and endured it.
