Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180
Focused on rescuing people, Lin Yifan naturally didn’t know what was happening on the shore.
After performing artificial respiration more than ten times, he clasped his hands and kept compressing her chest.
After about seven or eight repetitions, Dong Jiu Feng finally coughed up some water.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the handsome Lin Yifan came into view.
"You’re awake?"
Having worked busily for quite a while, Lin Yifan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Dong Jiu Feng wake up.
"Something pulled me!"
Dong Jiu Feng suddenly recalled what had happened.
Frightened, she wrapped her arms around Lin Yifan’s arm.
Pressing her ample body tightly against his, she finally felt a trace of safety.
It turned out she was just standing by the village river washing a mop, not expecting that something seemed to pull at her feet.
Then she fell in, and no matter how she struggled, the force at her ankle desperately pulled her into the water.
"Maybe you slipped, the rain last night was heavy, and the river swelled and carried you down, but now it’s fine."
Feeling the full warmth on his arm, Lin Yifan comforted her.
He never mentioned anything about Water Monkeys.
"Why... why aren’t you... a fool anymore?"
Coming to the realization that the one who saved her was the village idiot, Dong Jiu Feng looked surprised at his clear eyes.
"I’m all better now."
Leaning against a rock, Lin Yifan said, panting heavily.
"You’re better now, Xizhu must be very happy... but it wouldn’t be so bad if I just died like this..."
Having experienced life and death, all her past grievances surged in her heart.
Jiufeng started to cry out loud.
"Sister-in-law, don’t be depressed. If Xizhu bullies you, tell me, and I’ll help you deal with him!"
Seeing her emotional collapse, Lin Yifan could only console her.
Xizhu was his childhood friend, so he could certainly speak to him about such matters.
"You can’t help with this, I might as well be dead!"
Feeling trapped in a whirlpool, a sense of desolation rose in her heart.
Jiufeng clenched her teeth and was about to jump into the river, fortunately, Lin Yifan quickly grasped her.
"Sister-in-law, no matter how big the issue, I can handle it. Please don’t think about doing anything drastic."
"I can’t have children... I’m just an infertile failure... Xizhu’s mother constantly says I’ve cut off their family line... Can you take care of that?"
Struggling, Jiufeng shouted loudly.
Bearing too many insults, she only wanted to end it all right now.
"I can, it’s on me!"
Tightly hugging the emotionally unstable Jiufeng, Lin Yifan gently rubbed her back with his right hand.
Although not dragged away by Water Monkeys, the evil energy had entered her body, triggering negative emotions.
Only by quickly removing it could she truly recover.
"Really... but Xizhu...!"
Jiufeng, with tearful eyes, looked at the handsome Lin Yifan.
Held in his embrace, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
The warmth spreading from his hand over her back slowly calmed her chaotic emotions.
An indescribable heartache made her cheeks turn crimson.
"Trust me, I swear by heaven, you’ll be holding a chubby boy next year, but it’s too cold here, we need to go back. I’ll tie you to me, hold on tight!"
Lin Yifan shivered.
Without shelter, cold winds whipped across the river’s surface.
If they stayed too long, they would certainly succumb to hypothermia, so they had to leave immediately.
"If it doesn’t work, let me go. Even if I die, I won’t blame you."
Looking at the undulating river surface, murky and yellow.
Dong Jiu Feng knew that just him swimming over was perilous.
Trying to swim back with her on his back was even more dangerous.
"Don’t worry, we haven’t done anything bad, the Dragon King won’t take us!"
Lin Yifan took off his shirt to tie her on his back.
Taking a deep breath, he jumped into the water.
Against the current, Lin Yifan kicked forcefully.
But the power of nature was much stronger than he had imagined.
At the same time, he felt several forces closing in under the surge.
Those damn Water Monkeys were back.
Lin Yifan gritted his teeth, his hands making quick seals.
"Heaven clear, earth bright, the five spirits listen, come!"
As a whisper echoed, a strange force surged from underwater.
But in the murky river water, no one saw what was beneath him.
Those peering forces immediately vanished without a trace.
The rain started to fall once again.
Seeing the two rise and fall in the river water, the people on the shore all helped with all their might.
The village officials had already found dozens of ropes, connecting them together.
They tied branches to them and threw them vigorously into the distance.
When Lin Yifan finally grabbed the rope, everyone cheered.
Finally, as Lin Yifan was pulled ashore, Xu Fengxian ran up immediately and took off their clothes.
"Yifan, are you okay?"
Grabbing Lin Yifan, Xu Fengxian’s eyes were full of tears.
The feeling of losing and regaining, as she embraced him without care.
"I’m fine, you go find someone to carry Jiufeng home first, I’ll head home to check!"
Lin Yifan wiped the water from his face and said with a smile.
Awakening from a dream, the person he most wanted to see was his mother.
"Yeah, yeah, your mother has had a hard time these years..."
Xu Fengxian reluctantly let go.
But before she finished speaking, her ear was pinched by Lin Yifan.
"Whose mother?"
"Our... our mother, after you got into trouble, she suffered a lot, you were the first university student in the village, but you were expelled, that was a big blow for her."
Xu Fengxian, blushing, finally realized.
In her charming eyes, she whispered softly full of emotions.
"Expelled! On what grounds?"
Lin Yifan asked in surprise.
After all, even if it was a brave act, even if he was injured in the brain, he should be on suspension, how could he be expelled.
"The school said you were causing trouble while drunk, intending harm to a girl named Su, and injured a guy named Qian, if not for your head injury, they’d have pursued criminal charges!"
Xu Fengxian whispered.
"Nonsense, Su Man is my girlfriend, obviously Qian Jiahao drugged her, I got injured saving her, didn’t Su Man testify for me?"
Lin Yifan said with round eyes.
"I went to that as well, Su Man said it to our faces and the police, she said you were just ordinary classmates, that you harassed her, claiming the guy named Qian saved her and prevented any big issues."
Xu Fengxian hurriedly recounted what she knew.
"Su Man, you’re so cruel!!"
Upon hearing the story, Lin Yifan couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Without a doubt, the wealthy and powerful Qian Family was manipulating things.
He now hated not only Qian Jiahao, but also Su Man.
He risked his life to save her, and she not only failed to show gratitude, but also kicked him while he was down.
This woman truly had a heart of a serpent and scorpion.
"Enough, the righteous are not afraid of shadows, I’ve always believed you’re not that kind of person, first go home and let mom know you’re safe, I’ll gather some mushrooms up the mountain, and bring... our mom over for dinner."
Xu Fengxian blushed like a little girl.
But Lin Yifan noticed a faint pink aura from her forehead.
This was a sign of an impending romantic calamity.
"Your face is quite strange, something unpleasant might happen, from now on, just stay home and wait for me to come back!"
Lin Yifan furrowed his brows, saying seriously.
With medicine and divination sharing roots, his face reading had now reached its pinnacle.
"You’ve been acting silly for three years, do you think you can actually read faces? Fine, I’ll just wait at home for you to come back for dinner."
Xu Fengxian tiptoed up and lightly kissed his handsome face.
This kiss made the surrounding villagers even more frustrated.
"This kid, just took advantage of Jiufeng, now he’s intimately with a pretty widow in public, too much!"
"In these years, this kid has been frequently visiting Xu Fengxian’s house, I’ve known he had no good intentions!"
"I think he’s been pretending to be dumb, both my goddesses are gone now!"
Amidst the villagers’ discussions, a malicious gaze was fixed on the departing Xu Fengxian.
The venomous man clenched his fists and secretly followed.
Lin Yifan, in slippers, quickly walked towards his not-too-distant home.
His memories over the past three years were fragmented and fuzzy, making him eager to return.
Moreover, this time his strange encounter had also revealed the secret behind his father’s death, anxious to share it with his mother.
As he headed home, suddenly from the old house came sounds of cursing and things being smashed.
Turning the fence gate, he saw his white-haired mother kneeling on the ground.
Bowing repeatedly towards a few strong men.
They, arrogant with cigarettes in their mouths, with arms crossed, appeared smug.
"You old hag, if you don’t pay up today, I’ll tear down your doghouse!"
