After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 115 Learning to Swim

The housekeeper was a little speechless when he heard her request, but he still nodded with a smile on his face, asked the shopkeeper to arrange a room for her, and immediately turned his head and left.

At this moment, he finally understood what the female shopkeeper of the embroidery shop meant when she said that this woman was difficult to control.To be honest, in his life, he has never seen such a woman who doesn't treat herself as an outsider and takes her demands so naturally.

The butler was very worried. When the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop heard that Gu Linger was leaving, he almost laughed and set off firecrackers.

Thank goodness, God has eyes, this aunt is gone.

Gu Linger's side changed places again, and Gu Jin's side also ushered in the rainy season.

It's really a small game in three days and a big game in five days. Although the water in the Yellow River didn't rise very much, the water level was getting higher and higher day by day.

Shen Jingcheng led people to run to the embankment by the river every day, and Gu Jin nervously put the water hyacinths prepared for everyone in a conspicuous place. At the same time, he also specially prepared a small gourd boat for Xiao Youping. He was planning to take Xiao Youping to escape one day when the momentum was not good.

Seeing her nervous look, Shen Jingcheng said worriedly: "Why don't you go back to Shenjia Village first while the river is not too big, and come back after the rainy season is over. Now the water in the river is so high that I don't sleep every day. Home, in case something happens, I may not be able to reach you in time."

Gu Jin also knew that what Shen Jingcheng said was the truth, but Shen Jingcheng was the magistrate of a county, and in the current situation, it was impossible for her to let him stay by her side and the child honestly, not to mention that she didn't know how to drink water. It's fine that she can't take care of her children and Axiu, and maybe she will become a burden to Shen Jingcheng.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Jin nodded, held Shen Jingcheng's hand tightly, and kept telling him: "You are here alone, you must protect yourself well. If the dam really breaks down, what happens to you? You have to save your own life first, you have to know that without you, my child and I will be left alone.”

Seeing that her face was pale, Shen Jingcheng reached out to hold her in his arms, and gently patted her on the back comfortingly.

"Don't worry, I'm good at swimming, I'll be fine if anyone has trouble."

"Then you have to be careful. After the child and I go back, you have to take those gourds with you, which can be regarded as a help." Of course Gu Jin knows that he is good at water, but water and fire are ruthless. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Jingcheng nodded heavily, expressing that he had listened to her words in his heart.

At this time, he didn't want to disturb her.

After a sleepless night, Gu Jin got up to pack his things with dark circles under his eyes. Since it was raining a lot these days and the road was difficult to walk, Shen Jingcheng sent Gu Jin and his wife and Gu Xiu across the Yellow River to the shops within the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture. , and then turned back to Yuhe County.

Gu Jin looked at the back of Shen Jingcheng riding away on horseback, and shouted loudly: "Be careful."

In the distance, Shen Jingcheng heard her shout, reined in the horse's reins, and also called back to her: "Remember, you should also pay attention to safety."

"Hey." Gu Jin agreed, and waved to him from a distance, signaling that he was fine.

Seeing this, Shen Jingcheng immediately smiled slightly, turned the horse's head and gave a 'snack', and then drove the horse straight to Yuhe County. His eyes were extremely sharp, as if there was a battlefield ahead.

And when Gu Jin turned around and set foot on the way back to Shenjia Village with the guy in the shop who escorted her and the child back to Shenjia Village, her eyes were also very firm.

She wants to learn to swim, she can't always rely on Shen Jingcheng for everything.Just like now, no matter how powerful Shen Jingcheng is, there will be times when she can't get away, if she learns to swim by herself, not to mention being able to protect the child in case of danger, at least she won't become a burden to Shen Jingcheng.

In this way, after Gu Jin returned to Shenjia Village, he asked Liu Da to find out if there were any women or women around who could swim. No matter who it was, he would give him two taels of silver if he could teach her how to swim.

Not to mention, because there is a river here, there are indeed women who can swim in the surrounding villages. Gu Jin finally chose a woman with the best water skills to teach him, and at the same time, he also dragged Gu Xiu along.

Floods are ruthless, if Gu Xiu wants to follow her to Yuhe County in the future, then she must learn to swim, otherwise, she will stay in Shenjia Village or Shenjiaao in the mountains, at least there will be no floods here, Gu Xiu Don't have to face those dangers either.

Gu Xiu refused to let her go to Yuhe County if she didn't learn to swim, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.

Fight hard, as long as she can't drown, she has to learn how to swim.

Shenjia Village is next to the river, but Gu Jin and Gu Xiu are women after all, and it's the busy season of farming, so the two of them don't want to go into the water in public, and finally they return to Shenjia'ao, where people sit in the creek halfway up the mountain. A big pit was dug at the side. Under the suggestion of the woman who taught them to swim, the pit was made from shallow to deep so that they could learn to swim.

A few days later, the puddle was dug, Gu Jin filled the puddle with water, and started learning to swim with Gu Xiu.

But to my surprise, although swimming was proposed by Gu Jin, it was Gu Xiu who learned to swim first, and Gu Jin almost sank involuntarily as soon as he entered the water due to the shadow cast by the flood in his previous life. It was a fear that she couldn't get rid of even if she tried hard.

The woman who taught swimming didn't expect Gu Jin to be afraid of water, so she could only watch her closely and slowly guide Gu Jin to learn how to hold her breath in the shallow water.

After such a long time, Gu Jin has also learned to hold his breath, maybe this is a puddle after all, and seeing that Gu Xiu has learned to dive in the water, and can swim around like a fish at will, let She felt safe in her heart.

Slowly, Gu Jin's calf became weak from the moment he entered the water, and he was able to walk freely. Then he started to learn to swim step by step.

Ever since he started learning to swim, Gu Jin didn't have so much time to look at Xiao Youping every day. The child seemed to have recognized him. Every time she came out of the water and came home, he barked at her and screamed, as if Accused her of neglecting him.

After overcoming his fear of water, Gu Jin learned to swim very quickly. He learned to dog-plan in a few days. Although sometimes he would sink to the bottom while swimming, it was getting better and better.

The busy days passed quickly, and after more than a month, Gu Jin also swam very well, and she also learned to float in the water without swimming, so that even if she was tired from swimming, she could still float in the water take a break.

After she had finished studying, at night when everyone in the village was asleep, she handed the child to Zhou Quan's wife to watch over, and then took Gu Xiu and the woman who taught swimming to the river down the mountain for a field swim.

The puddle is a puddle after all, and the environment of the real river is different from the puddle. Gu Jin did not dare to let Gu Xiu jump down like the woman who taught them how to swim, but slowly entered the water step by step. It wasn't until she got used to it that she started to learn how to dive. After a few nights, she and Gu Xiu were able to swim freely.

At the same time, the water in the river in Yuhe County was getting bigger and bigger, Shen Jingcheng was tense, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment, leading the yamen servants and the Lijia of each village to patrol the river bank.He also ordered everyone to immediately organize people to add soil to protect the dam as soon as they saw the low-lying dam, trying not to let the water flood up.
