Chapter: 142 A ray of hope

“Are you serious?” Zhou Rongrong’s eyes were shining with an imperceptible light.

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have come back to inform you before entering the house.

It’s estimated that the two people will be here soon. No matter what others say, just say that you are the daughter of your second uncle.” Zhou Weinan solemnly instructed Zhou Rongrong.

Zhou Rongrong sat there, stroking her belly gently.

“We will go to the city to deal with him tomorrow.” Zhou Weinan’s eyes fell on Zhou Rongrong’s belly.

Zhou Rongrong also focused on her belly, “No, I will take care of it.”

Zhou Rongrong looked at Zhou Weinan’s smile with a hint of cruelty.

After the New Year, the weather began to gradually warm up, and the small roads in the village gradually became lively.

People came to visit and chat, and took advantage of the midday sun to hug the branches broken by the snow at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Weiwan put down his pen and closed his notebook, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, feeling a little tired.

He got a cup of spiritual spring water from the space and drank it. The remaining two drops were directly applied to his eyes and he felt much more comfortable. Xiao Mi was sleeping soundly on Lin Weiwan’s legs.

“Xiao Wan, let’s go to the river to wash clothes.” Wang Qiaoyun’s voice came from the door.

Lin Weiwan looked around and found that there was nothing to wash, so she quickly pulled down the bed sheet that was now pressing on him.

“I’m here, wait for me.” He took out a coat that he used for cooking yesterday and threw it into the wooden basin, and took out the soap.

Wang Qiaoyun’s wooden basin contained the clothes that had accumulated over the past few days.

The water level of the Dongsheng River is not high in winter, so it is just right to dig a hole to wash clothes.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to go back and forth to fetch water from the well to wash. When the two of them walked to the river, there were already two people washing clothes. Wang Qiaoyun pulled Lin Weiwan upstream.

As soon as Wang Qiaoyun squatted down and turned a few times, she found that her soap was missing.

Winter coats are relatively dirty, and they must not be washed clean without soap.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Weiwan found a stone equipment to smash a hole in the thin ice on the riverside, and found that Wang Qiaoyun was looking for something.

“I remember I put the soap in the basin, how come it’s gone.”

Wang Qiaoyun shook out two dirty clothes and a bed sheet, but didn’t find any trace of the soap.

“Okay, stop looking, use mine.” Lin Weiwan handed his soap to Wang Qiaoyun.

“No, it must have fallen somewhere. You wash it first, I’ll go back and look for it, and I’ll be back soon.”

Wang Qiaoyun said and went back along the way she came.

Lin Weiwan broke the ice and brought the basin over, preparing to rinse the bed sheet and wait for Wang Qiaoyun on the shore.

Thinking that they had reached the river, Lin Weiwan watched a crucian carp take a breath and run away by the ice hole, and his heart moved.

She made two sticky rice balls in the space and simmered them with spiritual spring water.

She found a sturdy dry branch nearby and stuck the sticky rice balls on the branch, and tied the four corners of the bed sheet to the branch.

In this way, the water and fish can be collected at the same time, as long as the consciousness covers the range of the bed sheet.

Everything was ready. Lin Weiwan dipped the bed sheet into the water and leaned against the branch to lie horizontally on the ice.

The power of the spiritual spring water was very strong. One after another, fish swam into the bed sheet frantically.

Lin Weiwan touched the wooden stick with one hand, and his consciousness began to wrap the water and fish in the bed sheet, directly into the fish pond in the space.

“Crack…” Anyone who has been on the ice knows that kind of sound, the sound of ice breaking when stepping on the broken ice.

Lin Weiwan quickly straightened up and put away the branch at the same time.

“You’re back so soon.” Before he turned around, he felt a strong force coming from his back. The whole person fell headfirst towards the location of the ice hole.

Lin Weiwan lost her balance and was shocked. She subconsciously looked back and her body also turned sideways. She dared to see Zhou Rongrong standing behind him.

As luck would have it, Lin Weiwan’s arm just grabbed Zhou Rongrong’s retracted left hand. The two of them smashed into the ice hole at the same time.

With Zhou Rongrong’s exclamation, “Lin Weiwan, what are you doing?” The two of them smashed into the river at the same time.

The cold river water instantly engulfed the two people. The two people were heavy and were swept downstream by the turbulent water.

“Hurry up, someone fell into the water, hurry up.”

The two people downstream had already noticed that the two people upstream suddenly fell into the water, and hurriedly ran to the village and shouted.

Wang Qiaoyun found her soap on the ground in the outer room. She didn’t know where it fell. Before she reached the river, she saw two aunts running back while shouting.

“Who fell into the river?” Wang Qiaoyun stopped one of them.

“That beautiful Lin Zhiqing and that…”

Wang Qiaoyun didn’t finish listening, only to hear that Lin Weiwan threw away the soap in her hand and ran to the river. And it was downstream.

Ye Jibai heard that there was a commotion outside and ran to the river without wearing a coat. Many villagers had already run to the river.

Zhou Rongrong held Lin Weiwan tightly underwater and didn’t let go.

Lin Weiwan realized at the moment when she and Zhou Rongrong entered the water that Zhou Rongrong deliberately let him pull her.

However, Zhou Rongrong did not expect that the ice surface could not bear the weight of the two people, because the gap opened was even larger and they fell into the river together.

After chopping Zhou Rongrong unconscious with her backhand, Lin Weiwan really wanted to let Zhou Rongrong drown. Thinking that she was indeed holding Zhou Rongrong when she fell into the water, she was afraid that if Zhou Rongrong really died, it would definitely be her fault.

She could only hold Zhou Rongrong’s hair with one hand and swim desperately towards the shore with the other hand.

It was difficult for people to tell the direction under the frozen water. She could not even take a breath. Lin Weiwan swam out of the space several times. Anyone would be dead if this happened.

Wang Qiaoyun stood on the downstream side of the river and smashed the ice with things crazily. Her hands were worn out before she smashed two ice holes.

Lin Weiwan finally found the direction of the shore with his consciousness released, and swam towards the shallow water on the shore.

Wang Qiaoyun saw Lin Weiwan swimming towards the shore through the ice and ran towards that position crazily, and quickly held a stone and started to smash the ice on the shore.

Ye Jibai, Hu Xiaopang, and Shen Minghua ran over and saw Wang Qiaoyun, with blood on her hands, smashing the ice to expand the size of the hole.

Ye Jibai saw the hole expanding and jumped down, followed by Wang Qiaoyun, whose hands were covered in blood.

Hu Xiaopang tried to grab Wang Qiaoyun subconsciously but failed. He could only watch Wang Qiaoyun go into the water and swim towards Lin Weiwan.

Hu Xiaopang and Shen Minghua, who couldn’t swim, continued to expand the hole. At this time, many people had gathered on the shore.

Seeing the black shadow in front of him, Lin Weiwan took a closer look and found that it was Ye Jibai.

Ye Jibai grabbed Lin Weiwan with one hand and pulled Zhou Rongrong’s arm while swimming forward with the other hand. He didn’t care about Zhou Rongrong and didn’t want to touch her.

If Lin Weiwan couldn’t hold her, it would be her fate. He just needed to hold his wife.

Wang Qiaoyun came over and could only hold Zhou Rongrong with one hand and whip Lin Weiwan with the other to save some energy.
