Chapter 1 Frozen to death in the river
In the first few days of spring, there was still a thin layer of ice floating on the river at the entrance of the village. The villagers who were working in the fields around Soy Milk tried their best to avoid it, so as not to accidentally fall down and freeze to death if not drowned.
At this moment, a bright red figure rolled down from the cracks in the trees at the other end of the river, and plunged into the piercing river water.
With a "plop", a big hole was smashed out of the thin ice on the ice surface, and the person who fell didn't even spit out a bubble, and kept sinking.
The villagers were stunned for a while, and hurriedly picked up the man who fell into the river with the things in their hands, some with hoes, and some with dung scoops. Anyway, they all rushed into the river, trying to rescue the man.
When Lin Huiru was conscious, the only feeling she felt was the cold, the kind of cold that pierced deeply into every cell of her through the skin, making her unable to cry out, and it seemed that she had difficulty breathing again when she opened her mouth, like I drank a big mouthful of iced water, and it froze from my mouth to my heart.
Give her one more chance, she wouldn't go on that casual trip even if she died, and she didn't want to try again because of the feeling of being suffocated by Xue Huo! If it weren't for how beautiful the ice and snow world described in the book is, and how proud it is to conquer a snow mountain, how could she make fun of her own life?
She still has to go to school! Lin Huiru struggled to open her eyes, but was so frightened by the oncoming cold that she almost sank again. what happened? Didn't she encounter an avalanche? How could it appear in a river?
In an instant, some images flashed through my mind like a movie playing at double speed. Lin Huiru tried her best to recall and found that this was a woman's experience. At the age of thirteen, she was forced to marry someone she didn't like, and on the second day after she got married, she wore her newlywed clothes and planned to go find her former lover. As a result, when he was copying the path up the mountain, he was pushed from behind by a mysterious person and rolled into the river.
The picture is gone here, Lin Hui is in a fog, I don't know why there are these pictures.
But she didn't dare to think too much. Before her strength was exhausted, Lin Huiru grabbed a piece of wood dangling in front of her and swam vigorously upwards.
It was not until she finally breathed fresh air that Lin Huiru discovered the biggest problem.
The people standing on the bank were all uniformly dressed, most of them were wearing old brown cotton-padded clothes, their faces were red and chapped, and they kept poking into the water with agricultural tools in their hands, and they didn't know what they were poking.
"Oh, come up, come up! That talented lady from the Xu family is coming up." An aunt shouted at the others, while still complacent, saying that her pole was different, and she rescued people with just a poke.
Lin Huiru was completely confused. These people called her...a scholar lady? Lady? Isn't this name too old? Could it be?
She looked down and saw a flower embroidered on her chest, and her whole body was also bright red, which looked the same as what she wore when she got married. But she... doesn't have a boyfriend yet!
When Lin Huiru panicked, the aunt had already extended a helping hand and pulled Lin Hui, who was soaked all over, ashore.
"You were just newly married yesterday, why did you jump into the river today?" the aunt said in an angry tone, hating iron for steel.
Who doesn't know that the kid from the Xu family will definitely have a future? Is it wrong to marry him? This girl really doesn't know what to do.
"I... accidentally slipped, I didn't jump into the river." Lin Huiru's heart was pounding, and she finally sorted out her thoughts a little bit.
Lin Huiru, no, she is no longer "Lin Huiru", but another "Lin Huiru" with a completely different fate. This Lin Huiru has a domineering and stubborn personality, not to mention selfishness, loves vanity, and is invincible in the world with one mouth. Otherwise, why did she run away in anger yesterday when she just entered the new house?
Lin Huiru lowered her head in despair. She is definitely dead in modern times, buried in the avalanche. But the soul is in the body of a woman who just fell into the water. Do you want to live this life for her?
The aunt touched Lin Huiru's head, and said softly, "Go back quickly, what happened on the second day of the wedding, do you still want to be famous?"
After finishing speaking, she pushed Lin Huiru on the road to the village, surrounded by people watching Finally, they all went their separate ways.
No one noticed, a pair of embroidered shoes stomped on the spot in the woods across the river, and then disappeared quickly.
Lin Huiru's explanation was considered timely, and everyone believed that she stepped on the air and fell into the river. Otherwise, the whole village would probably know that a newly married daughter-in-law of the Xu family committed suicide by jumping into the river yesterday.
Just after the new year, there are strings of red peppers hanging under the eaves of each house, and there are a few skewers of bacon. Lin Huiru walked back relying on memory, and really arrived at a house where the happy words were not removed at the door.
Unmelted snow was still hanging on the roof of the thatched house, and a pot of water was gurgling on the stove at the head of the house, and the white smoke refused to rise.
Lin Huiru walked into one of the rooms without anyone in Jingdong. The room was close to the west and was very dark, so it was even more deserted. She found a half-worn cotton padded coat from the cabinet and put it on. When she was about to take out the wet wedding dress to wash, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside arbitrarily.
A woman in her mid-twenties came in, wearing a flowered jacket and holding an iron kettle filled with hot water in her hand, she didn't look like a country girl at all.
Lin Huiru immediately knew that this woman should be called sister-in-law, but after hesitating for a long time, she didn't call out.
But Liu Xiulan couldn't hold back, and pointed at Lin Huiru's nose and scolded: "You evil! Do you want to go to the town to chase your lover? You just passed the door yesterday, and you dare to run away today. I think you are the one who doesn't treat me like this!" Sister-in-law sees it, right?"
Lin Huiru twirled the white smoke vaguely and shook her head.
"I don't, I don't remember anything." Lin Huiru simply pretended to have amnesia, anyway, she did have a bump on the back of her head.
Liu Xiulan definitely didn't believe it, she sneered and went up to pick up the drenched wedding dress.
"You still say no, you are wearing a wedding dress to find your lover, you are trampling our Xu family's face under your feet! I also spent five taels of silver as a dowry gift for Zi Qiao, and came back with a white-eyed wolf!" Lin
Huiru I really admired it. She said that a simple matter was extremely serious, so Lin Huiru simply argued with her, "
Sister-in-law, I did fall into the water just now, and the aunt who rescued me can prove it. As for what you said... I don't remember anything about my lover."
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, so what if she just doesn't admit that this body is going out to meet her lover? No matter how angry Liu Xiulan is, she can only hold it in. Anyway, she has evidence, which can prove that she has indeed fallen into the water. Amnesia is not a diagnosis. In this age, it is impossible to diagnose it. Why don't you say what she says?
Lin Huiru was about to applaud herself, and just about to continue talking, a girl who was wearing shoes embroidered with orchids and a jacket, but not at all bloated, walked in from outside.
About fourteen years old.
"Xiaoru, why are you so slow? Didn't you beg me to take you to the town?"
