Shanyue doesn't know what's going on

Chapter 5
In just a split second, Ye Ling disappeared in the deep pool. Everything happened so suddenly, if it wasn't for the ripples on the water surface, Xiang Yuan would almost have thought it was an illusion of her being absent-minded in the afternoon.The instant instinctive reaction made Xiang Yuan rush to the edge of the pool, and was about to jump into the pool to save others, but a second before she acted, a picture flashed in front of her eyes, Xiang Yi, swollen by water, was floating on the surface of the water , a small face was swollen and deformed, glowing a lifeless gray-purple.

Xiang Yuan shook imperceptibly.Why is this world so strange? There are countless people like her mother, like Xiang Yi, like many poor and lowly anonymous people who are clearly so difficult, and still hope to struggle to survive; but this girl named Ye Ling, She is young, well-dressed, and obviously has a good life. She has a better life than many people, but she voluntarily begged to die.It's kind of ironic.

Xiang Yuan's affection for Ye Ling when she met her by chance disappeared immediately. She hated people who belittled her own life, even those who used death as a bargaining chip. Such people are cowardly, cowardly, and incompetent, and they are not worthy of sympathy.She thought, since this girl named Ye Ling wanted to die so much, why should I obstruct her, it would be better to help her.She stared blankly at the ripples on the water surface getting weaker and weaker, until she heard the sound of slipping and rolling from the hillside not far behind her. Soon, her trousers were scratched several times, and her calves were covered with bloodstains from sharp branches. Zou Yun ran to her side panting.

"Sister Xiang Yuan, just now... that person just now..." Zou Yun obviously saw the scene of Ye Ling falling into the water on the hillside. He usually climbs mountains and trees as nimbly as a monkey. Will stumble and roll down, he rushed to Xiang Yuan's side anxiously, but was startled by the flash of ruthlessness and indifference on Xiang Yuan's face.

Zou Yun was eager to save people, and he was so anxious that he couldn't think of words. Seeing that there was no one else around, he gritted his teeth and plunged into the water dragging his injured leg.Just after swimming a few meters, the severe pain in the wound made Zou Yun unable to use any more strength. Seeing the girl's white figure passing by not far away, he desperately wanted to get closer to her, but he inadvertently choked on a big mouthful of water. His mind went blank for a while, as if a pair of invisible hands on the soles of his feet pulled him towards the center of the pool.

Although the Wild Duck Pool is not big, it is surprisingly deep. Even in midsummer, the pool water is refreshingly cool. It is said that there are several places in the center of the pool.It is precisely because of this that when Xiang Yi fell into the water, many villagers helped rescue him, but even the body could not be salvaged in time.This pool of water drowns people every few years, and the children have been warned not to swim here... Zou Yun panicked and struggled a bit, but his hands and feet were even more disobedient, especially the injured leg. It seemed that he had lost consciousness, and his consciousness was gradually blurring. In despair, he suddenly felt someone pushing him to the shore. Dragging the girl to the shore, he quickly got up and helped Xiang Yuan on the shore, and the two of them worked together to drag the unconscious girl out of the pool.

Xiang Yuan was so tired that she asked, "Zou Yun, are you okay?" Seeing him coughing and shaking his head, she turned her attention to Ye Ling who was lying flat on the ground.Ye Ling's face was even paler, and the ups and downs of his chest were also indistinct.

"Sister Xiang Yuan, what should I do? She won't die, right?" Zou Yun was still a child after all, and his voice was so frightened that he could cry.

Xiang Yuan pointed in the direction of the farmland slanting above the water pool, and said anxiously to Zou Yun, "Hurry up and bring Uncle Li's cattle here."

Zou Yun understood immediately, but couldn't pay attention to the injury on his leg, so he turned his head and ran in the direction pointed by Xiang Yuan.

While Zou Yun brought Uncle Li's cattle, a large number of villagers and tourists who heard the news followed behind him.Among them, some experienced people put Ye Ling's body on the back of the bull, let her lie face down on the back of the bull, and then whipped the bull to run forward.

Xiang Yuan walked outside the crowd to catch his breath. On an October day, the wind blew over his drenched body, making it unbelievably cold.Not long after, she heard cheers of joy from the villagers, and knew that Ye Ling had vomited the water in his abdomen, and she must have saved his life.Luckily for her, Xiang Yuan said the last thing, but her heart felt light. She couldn't tell if it was for the saving of a life, or for the redemption obtained by a strange thought that flashed in the depths of her heart.

She wrung the water from her clothes. Thankfully, the money in her pocket was still there even though it was wet. If she didn't go home and change her clothes, what were she waiting for?She walked in the direction of her home, and heard footsteps chasing after her from a distance.

"Sister Xiang Yuan..."

She knew it was the little guy Zou Yun.She turned her head and pointed at Zou Yun's feet, "Go to the village health center to disinfect your wounds, your trouser legs are torn like this, your aunt will scold you again."

When Xiang Yuan returned home, seeing her like this, Xiang Yao wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he went to boil water without saying a word.After Xiang Yuan took a hot bath and changed clothes, she found out that the villagers had actually carried Ye Ling, who was still weak, to her home.It turned out that after Ye Ling was rescued, although there were many tourists onlookers, none of them recognized the girl who fell into the water inexplicably. I don't know whether it was because she was overly frightened or hadn't recovered. After Ye Ling woke up, she remained expressionless and said nothing. The only way is to send her to the health center. After the barefoot doctor said nothing happened, they had to carry her to Xiangyuan's house.One is Xiang Yuan who rescued her, and the other is the two girls of Xiang's family, which are much more convenient to take care of.

On this day, all the vacant rooms in Xiang's house had already been occupied by tourists. Xiang Yuan had no choice but to vacate his own room and squeeze in with Xiang Yao at night.Together with the other two women in the village, Xiang Yao changed Ye Ling into Xiang Yuan's clean clothes, and Ye Ling has been in a semi-coma ever since.

I was in a hurry all afternoon, and after getting everything settled, it was already the end of the day.Xiang Yuan carefully hung the large and small banknotes wet in the water to dry in the kitchen, and sat on the threshold of the house leaning against the door frame.It has been so long since she has been out of the water, she still feels a bit cold after adding some clothes, her head is heavy, her throat is scorched by fire, and she wants Xiang Yao to pour a glass of water, but the dead girl didn't know where to go where it goes.She has long been used to taking care of herself, and now that she looks like this, she knows that she may have caught a cold.She has always been in good health, and it is rare to have a headache or fever. Today, she just soaked in the water for a while, and she became like this. Could it be that the girl in the city infected her with her coquettishness?Thinking of this, Xiang Yuan laughed to himself, and felt his head hurt even more when he moved the corner of his mouth.She thought, after a while, go back to sleep and get up early tomorrow.

This time she didn't get what she wanted, and as soon as her consciousness became confused, she heard the voice of Uncle Li, the village chief, calling in her ear, "Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan, the girl's family is here, hey, guess who it is..."

Xiang Yuan didn't really hear what Second Uncle Li said behind him. Her eyes passed over Second Uncle Li and landed on a blurry figure behind him.

That person really looks like him, but how could it be him?However, the voice was distinct and familiar, "Xiang Yuan, why are you sitting here?"

Xiang Yuan, why are you sitting here?

He used to get up every morning to go to school, and she always waited on the grain rick near his house.When he said this, he always smiled. Xiang Yuan was here, of course, waiting for her.

Xiang Yuan smiled, his crooked eyes narrowed into crescent moons again.

Ye Qianze, why are you late again, making me wait so long.

But his expression shouldn't be anxious.

With a jolt, Xiang Yuan's mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and he stood up abruptly with the strength he didn't know where, and he saw the person in front of him clearly, but his confusion deepened.

"Qianze? Why are you?"

He hurriedly stepped across the threshold from her side, "Xiang Yuan, we'll talk later."

With a thought in mind, Xiang Yuan hurriedly followed Ye Qianze to the inner room.

Ye Ling was lying on the bed and had already woken up.Ye Qianze walked to the bed in a few steps, without saying a word, just looked down at her.

Ye Ling actually smiled, that kind of pure happiness is like a child who got candy.

It was she who spoke first, an abrupt sentence without reason, "What do you want to say to me?"

Ye Qianze remained silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for her, "When you come out to play, you have to tell the family. Also, don't play in the water if you are not good at water, your parents will worry."

He lightly avoided Ye Ling's gaze, but turned his head to meet Xiang Yuan's eyes.

"Thank you. Xiang Yuan." At this moment, there was a genuine smile on his face, "Thank you for saving my sister."

Xiang Yuan also smiled.My heart is filled with indescribable sadness.It turned out that Ye Ling was his younger sister, presumably the child that Uncle Ye had with his new wife after returning to the city.There is nothing wrong with Qian Ze's gratitude. The problem lies in Xiang Yuan's heart. She never thought that when old friends meet again, his first gesture to her is to thank her.

Gratitude is polite and courteous, it is external and alienated, so the closest people do not say thank you.Ye Qianze's gratitude came from her Xiang Yuan - such an outsider accidentally rescued his relatives.Intimacy stands now!But Ye Qianze in Xiang Yuan's memory is only related to her and inseparable. When he was 14 years old, on the day before he followed his father back to the city, Xiang Yuan stood on the top of the hill behind the village, watching Ye Qianze at the entrance of the village standing near the old locust tree, hesitantly refusing to leave.His eyes searched hard among the folks who saw him off, but he couldn't see the girl who was with him day and night.Who can forget that once they were young sitting side by side on the edge of the stream under the clear light of the mountain moon, he said, "Xiang Yuan, we will never separate." Xiang Yuan didn't speak at that time, but he couldn't be more certain in his heart , They are so good, who can separate them, even if one day he leaves, she will definitely fly back to him in time.She didn't see him off, but she was afraid of the tearful eyes of parting. It was necessary to leave, so what's the point of seeing him off.Ye Qianze disappeared from Xiang Yuan's sight step by step and turned his head three times. It has been four years since he went there. On the day of reunion, he smiled and said thank you for his relatives.

Xiang Yuan felt his head hurt even more.Think too much, Xiang Yuan, you are not like this usually.Her lips moved, but she said with a smile: "Thank me for what? Just treat it as Solomon's vase to fulfill your first wish."

Ye Qianze smiled knowingly, the hint that only they could understand made the domineering barrier brought about by four years a lot less.Xiang Yuan seemed to have just seen the closest partner he grew up with.He looked around, thought for a while, and said, "I want to see Ah Yun first."

"Go, how long has it been since you guys? He should be at home now, so I won't accompany you. Come back to me if you need anything." Xiang Yuan has been standing still, even Xiang Yao didn't see her She is sick, she never likes others to see her weak and powerless.But at this time, she suddenly wanted Ye Qianze to ask, Xiang Yuan, are you feeling well?

She knew that she was demanding of him, he hadn't come back for almost four years, and there were still many things waiting for him, how could he be aware of everything?Aunt Zou's family, that is, his mother, was stubborn. After divorcing and remarrying with Uncle Ye, she cut off contact there.Xiang Yuan also heard from people that Uncle Ye married another wife after returning to the city. The Ye family has lived a good life in the past few years. They sent money to their aunt several times in the name of Qian Ze, and she returned all of them. Qian Ze said She refused to come back to see her. She seemed to have lost contact with everyone named Ye, so that after she passed away last year, the Zou family didn't know how to report a letter to her eldest son over there.It was not long ago that I got to know the news after wandering over there.So Xiang Yuan had a vague premonition that he would come back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and it was because of Ye Ling.That guy Lao Hu just said in the morning that there was a sign of "the old man will return".

"I'll go there first, Ye Ling——my sister, please take care of me." He said.

Xiang Yuan thought of Ye Ling's strangeness by the pool, why his half-sister went back to the place where he grew up alone, and asked why she jumped into the deep pool without saying a word, and why it made people feel unspeakable when they met. different.Xiang Yuan was skeptical, but on second thought, Ye Ling was fine for the time being, and Zou Yun was also Ye Qianze's younger brother, so it wouldn't be too late for him to talk about it after he met Zou Yun.

Ye Qianze went there for a long time, and Xiang Yuan fell asleep on Xiang Yao's bed. When he woke up, it was already late at night, and Xiang Yao was ordered by her to guard Ye Ling. When he went back to the room to get the sheets, Xiang Yao accidentally said He said, "The person lying in your room didn't move at all. For some reason, the pillow was wet."
