Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 200 Hao Dongmei fell into the water, Zheng Peipei cried

Li Xiuzhu just looked at the riverside and jumped down.

There was nothing around to pull the little girl to the shore.

Li Xiuzhu gritted his teeth as soon as he got into the water.

This is the water of the Songhua River in winter. Even if it is sunny today, it is still below freezing.

Li Xiuzhu slowed down and then swam toward the little girl.

However, the little girl was washed a little far away. The only good news is that the little girl just couldn't swim to the shore and could swim. If nothing else, she could at least float.

After swimming for more than ten minutes, Li Xiuzhu grabbed the little girl, but unexpectedly he was hugged by the little girl.

The little girl, who was still floating on the river without taking a few sips of water, immediately sank. She drank several sips of water, but she hugged her tighter and tighter.

Li Xiuzhu had no choice but to flip through the space and immediately pull out the lifeboat on the ship that was about to run away.

"Okay, it's okay. You take a rest and I'll get the boat to the shore."

Although Li Xiuzhu's tone was not good, Hao Dongmei was not angry, but felt relieved.

Hearing this, Hao Dongmei opened her eyes, glanced at Li Xiuzhu, and shook her head.

This kind of thing seems to happen every year, and there are also many people who won't get pregnant.

Li Xiuzhu quickly gathered a pile of grass, thought for a while, and took out another woolen coat.

If he gives the little girl a windbreaker, it won't make her think he did it on purpose, right?
And this is not my family, what if I was sold back?
After thinking about it, Li Xiuzhu still didn't take out his clothes and said, "I see there is a small house not far ahead. Let's go over there and warm up by the fire first."

Of course, you can faintly see other people's homes on the other side of the Songhua River, but it's a bit far away.

"Then, I'll go out and wait for my brother."

As a traditional girl, her expression changed when she thought that she would no longer be a mother.

The little girl who trembled after hearing this was startled, and then she remembered the gossip of her neighbors.

The little girl's teeth were chattering from the cold at this time, and she could only nod reluctantly.

I forgot to get a cover for the little girl.

"But I can tell you that if you stay cold for a long time, you will not only suffer from hypothermia and death, but it will even freeze your body functions."

Just say it was picked up outside, so that’s not a big problem.

Hao Dongmei was startled when she heard this, then turned to look at Li Xiuzhu, only to hear Li Xiuzhu say: "Put on your clothes, do you want to turn into a popsicle when you go out like this?"

After breathing in the fresh air, the little girl relaxed her grip.

"If you can't see it, just go out and wait."

Li Xiuzhu took the little girl quickly to the cabin a few hundred meters away.

But she couldn't do it if she was asked to take off her clothes, especially in front of a stranger.

The little girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, not big, but very delicate.

The cold wind blew in, making it even colder. The little girl couldn't help but get closer to Li Xiuzhu.

After Li Xiuzhu lit the fire, he thought for a moment and took off his clothes. As soon as he took off the first piece, he heard a scream from the little girl.

Li Xiuzhu finished speaking angrily and continued to take off his clothes.

Li Xiuzhu frowned and said, "Little girl, I have to take off my clothes to warm up, right? I can't wear wet clothes, right? You don't want to get better, I still want to live a few more years."

She regretted coming out and not changing her clothes.

As soon as she left the house, the biting cold wind blew on her face like a knife. Within two seconds, the coldness hit her and her expression changed.

The lifeboat was rowing down the river, and at this speed it was probably impossible to return in a short time.

"You stay here for a while, and I'll see if there's anything I can use."

The ground was withered and yellow, and the stalks of mugwort were almost meters high. At a glance, apart from the grass and the Songhua River not far away, no one could see any houses.

"Take you girls for example, you won't be able to have children if you get frozen."

Li Xiuzhu pressed the paddle board and followed the impact of the current to the shore.

When he turned around, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at the pale little girl who was hugging him and shivering, and his face changed slightly.

(ps: No one can reject Pei Nanwei, right?)
Li Xiuzhu didn't say anything when he heard this. He walked aside and lit a fire. There was some firewood in the wooden house. Although it wouldn't last long, two hours should be enough.

He grabbed the rope of the lifeboat and immediately climbed onto the boat.

There is no one there, and you can tell from the size that this is a temporary wooden house for a hunter or fisherman.

Li Xiuzhu went out and looked around.

"Thank you brother, no need."

Li Xiuzhu returned to the house and said, "Please change these clothes, and I will light a fire for you first."

"Wait a moment……"

This time Hao Dongmei didn't refuse and put on a windbreaker that reached her feet and left the house.

There should have been some food here, so that the trapped people and those who came to fish could have something to eat, but now the food bags here are empty.

But the little girl's stubbornness still made her stand gritted her teeth. Suddenly, her mind became dizzy and the world began to spin.

Someone left a clothes rack in the house. As soon as Li Xiuzhu finished taking off his clothes, he heard a sound outside the house.

Li Xiuzhu's expression changed, and he could sense that the little girl had fainted.

He hurried out and bared his teeth again the moment he opened the door.

Fortunately, he has a strong physique, so it was just a temporary discomfort.

Quickly carrying the little girl back to the house, Li Xiuzhu looked at the little girl whose face was slightly red, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I did this to save you. It's only your fault for being disobedient."

After Li Xiuzhu muttered to himself, he took off the little girl's clothes, and then put on a woolen coat of the same style for the little girl to put on.

Li Xiuzhu then held the little girl and sat not far from the fire.

This is hypothermia. Direct exposure to an open fire may cause other problems. She can only use insulation and a temperature close to the human body to awaken her own body functions.

Li Xiuzhu also fed the other person a piece of chocolate, but since the little girl was unconscious, he had to melt it and feed it to the other person's mouth.

The book says that the most common causes of hypothermia are alcoholism, hypoglycemia and anorexia.

It is impossible before and after. Even if this little girl is not caused by hypoglycemia, the sugar should be good for the other party.

Time passed and Li Xiuzhu frowned, only to find that it was starting to get dark outside.

Now, Zheng Peipei shouldn't be running around, right?

Li Xiuzhu looked at the girl in his arms speechlessly, and was rarely entangled.

At this moment, the little girl arched her head in Li Xiuzhu's arms.

Suddenly, the little girl was startled, as if she realized her situation, and opened her eyes.

The next second, he met Li Xiuzhu's eyes that were as bright as the stars.

Li Xiuzhu was also stunned. This little girl's eyes were full of love.

It's the kind of lingering lingering feeling that seems to be filled with fog, and can't be sorted out without being cut.

The next second, the little girl felt something was wrong.

I was shocked and just about to get up, I felt weak.

Li Xiuzhu said quickly: "Don't move, you are unstable. I did this to save you."

Hao Dongmei's face turned slightly red, she said softly "Hmm" and became quiet.

Li Xiuzhu is a little strange, what's going on? Before and now, they looked like two different people. Why did they suddenly become submissive and quiet?

But this is not the time to think about that.

Li Xiuzhu took out another piece of chocolate and said, "You have just begun to recover and are very weak. You should eat this piece of chocolate first."

The little girl noticed the meaning in Li Xiuzhu's words and also noticed the sweetness in his mouth.

"Have I eaten one before?"

"Yeah, I was worried that you might have hypoglycemia, so I fed you a piece of chocolate."

Hao Dongmei was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Brother, how did you feed me?"

She came completely unconscious.

But after asking, they both fell silent at the same time. Li Xiuzhu was embarrassed to say that Hao Dongmei saw the dark brown residue on Li Xiuzhu's lips.

Time passed minute by minute, and the silence was terrifying. At this moment, the fire was extinguished.

Although the room temperature in the wooden house cooled down, Hao Dongmei didn't feel too cold.

Of course, this was mainly due to Li Xiuzhu's presence. Li Xiuzhu was immune to cold and heat, and could adapt quickly to any sudden changes as long as they were not sudden changes.

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "It's getting very late now. Do you want to go home? If you do, you may have to walk for a while."

Hao Dongmei shook her head and said softly: "It can freeze to death in the Northeast at night."

"It's dangerous to stay out there for too long."

"Brother, are you cold? Do you want to put on some clothes first?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said: "I'm not cold, but if you are cold, you can put it on first."

Hao Dongmei was silent again. Just when Li Xiuzhu was about to say something, Hao Dongmei said: "It's just a little warm, so let's forget it. I'll put it on when I get cold later."

Hao Dongmei continued: "Brother, why don't you find a flat place to sit? Why are you sitting on the broom handle?"

Li Xiuzhu was shocked when he heard this, and his expression changed in the next second.

The two were silent again for a while, but at some point, a "guck" sound sounded. Li Xiuzhu took out a ham sausage and said, "A ham sausage with chocolate should last you all night."

"Brother, aren't you hungry?"

"I just ate before I rescued you, so I'm not too hungry."

In the darkness, Hao Dongmei finished her meal in a hurry. She was silent again and asked softly: "Brother, what is your name and where do you live?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "My name is Li Xiuzhu. I'm from the capital. I'm here to take someone to the capital."

Hao Dongmei was startled by the short answer, and then seemed a little disappointed.

Li Xiuzhu said, "You can come to my house when you have time. My house is at No. 95 Nanluogu Lane."

Hearing this, Hao Dongmei raised her head and asked, "I don't have the money even if I want to, and my parents may not let me go."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "You can go if you want, and you can write to me when you have time."

"???Why? Can I really go to the capital?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Five years at most."

Hao Dongmei's little head nodded in the darkness, and she seemed to feel much better.

"My name is Hao Dongmei, brother, will you remember me, right?"

"Well, I will definitely remember you."

Li Xiuzhu and Hao Dongmei talked a lot that night, and Hao Dongmei didn't know when she fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

It's daybreak, and although the sun hasn't shone into the cabin yet, the cabin is getting brighter.

Li Xiuzhu glanced at the sleeping little girl and woke her up softly.

"Dongmei, Dongmei wake up."

Hao Dongmei opened her hazy eyes and looked at Li Xiuzhu, and was immediately struck by the beauty.

"Its daybreak."

Only then did Hao Dongmei realize that it was dawn and quickly got up.

The woolen coat slipped off, and both of them were startled, but Li Xiuzhu reacted first and said quickly: "Let's change clothes first." After that, the two people changed clothes in a hurry.

"go home."

"Ah."

Hao Dongmei's tone was a little disappointed, not a little happy.

After Li Xiuzhu waited for Hao Dongmei to put on her own clothes, she put the woolen coat on the ground on Hao Dongmei.

"This dress is given to you."

"Brother, when are you leaving?"

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Just these two days, tomorrow night."

Hao Dongmei wanted to say I'll see you off, but she still didn't say it. Whether it's cold or not is one thing, it's not safe outside.

She definitely wouldn't be able to get out.

Seemingly sensing Hao Dongmei's embarrassment, Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Write to me when you have time."

"Well, I will definitely write to my brother often."

Li Xiuzhu took Hao Dongmei back to the other side in the lifeboat and personally sent the little girl home.

The little girl also spent the whole night looking for her at home. She was so worried that everyone had dark circles under their eyes and couldn't sleep.

The moment they saw Hao Dongmei and Li Xiuzhu, Hao Dongmei's parents thought that Li Xiuzhu had done something to Hao Dongmei, and immediately grabbed Li Xiuzhu fiercely.

"Tell me, what did you do to our Dongmei?"

Hao Dongmei hurriedly took her father's hand and said, "Dad, you misunderstood, my brother saved me."

Hao Dongmei's words made Hao's father startled, and he subconsciously let go of Li Xiuzhu, feeling a little at a loss.

Mother Hao quickly asked: "Dongmei, what's going on?"

Hao Dongmei then explained: "I was doing laundry yesterday and the clothes fell into the river. I wanted to reach for them, but I got dizzy and fell in."

"Then Brother Li jumped down and saved me."

"But we were washed a little far away, and our clothes were wet, so we had no choice but to find a wooden house to dry our clothes first."

"It was dark at that time and we couldn't see the road. We had no choice but to wait until dawn before coming back."

Looking at her daughter, Mother Hao keenly felt that her daughter still had a lot to say, but she was relieved to see that her daughter was back safely and that there was nothing wrong with her walk just now.

Before Hao's mother could speak, Hao's father hurriedly said, "Brother, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

"You sit in the room while your mother boils a kettle of water and makes the tea I gave you."

"I'm going to buy some meat."

Li Xiuzhu then spoke and said quickly: "No, please stop being busy. I haven't been back for a day and I don't have time to eat this meal."

Hearing this, Father Hao and Mother Hao were stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Also, they must be anxious about each other's parents.

At this time, Hao Dongmei hurriedly asked: "Brother Li, which guest house are you staying in? Can I go find you?"

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I live in the Red Star No. 2 Guest House."

Hao Dongmei hurriedly waved her hand, fearing that Li Xiuzhu would not be able to see it if it was too late.

"Brother Li, I will go find you."

Seeing her daughter's reluctant look, Hao's mother was even more sure that her daughter was hiding something.

Not to mention Hao's mother, even Hao's father noticed it.

After Li Xiuzhu left, Hao's father just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hao's mother say: "Old Hao, go buy some meat."

Father Hao glanced at his wife and daughter, and immediately understood what his wife meant. He nodded and said, "Yes, my girl survived the catastrophe, so she deserves to celebrate."

"Then you go back to the house first, I'll buy some meat, and tell them not to look for it."

Jin Yueji, also known as Hao's mother, said to Hao Dongmei: "Dongmei, come in with me."

Hao Dongmei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she became a little uneasy.

After entering the house, Hao Dongmei felt a little uneasy when she looked at her mother's scrutinizing eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Jin Yueji then asked: "Did anything happen between you and that brother Li?"

Hao Dongmei blinked when she heard this, as if she didn't understand her mother's words, but Jin Yueji frowned and said before Hao Dongmei could speak, "Don't pretend to be stupid, you have loved reading novels since you were a child, so you know a lot. "

Hao Dongmei blushed and said, "Mom, Brother Li and I have nothing to do."

"It's really nothing? Then tell me everything that happened between you in detail."

Hao Dongmei sighed and just said it.

Hao Dongmei said in an evasive manner, but Jin Yueji was not easy to fool, and she got the key points several times.

"You said you didn't come back because you fainted?"

"..."

"So you woke up with wet clothes on?"

"..."

"Really? Are you stupid for being a mother? If you were wearing wet clothes, you would at least have a fever when you come back."

"..."

"Hyperthermia? Did he feed you chocolate? I remember you were in a coma at the time. How did you eat it?"

"..."

"So your clothes are baked. I guess there is absolutely no change of clothes in the house. A quilt should be enough."

"..."

Hao Dongmei was about to cry. She really didn't want to say anything, and she didn't want her mother to know this.

Obviously it's just a rough summary.

"Dongmei, Mom has one last question for you, are you asleep?"

Hao Dongmei was startled when she heard this. She didn't know whether to answer that she was asleep or not.

But thinking of waking up in Li Xiuzhu's arms, Hao Dongmei blushed and nodded.

Jin Yueji was startled when she heard this, and asked doubtfully: "But when you came back, mom saw that you were walking well and you didn't bleed?"

Hao Dongmei asked doubtfully: "Why should I bleed? I'm not injured."

Jin Yueji understood that her daughter's sleep was not the same thing as what she wanted.

Jin Yueji grabbed her daughter and said, "Come in with me. Mom will check your body."

Hao Dongmei was confused and didn't understand what her mother meant.

But after the examination, Hao Dongmei looked at her mother with shame and anger.

"Mom, you're going too far."

Jin Yueji nodded without any dissatisfaction.

"Mom went too far. Mom apologized to you."

"The young man has a good character."

"But it's not good after all."

"Mom has a question for you. Tell me the truth."

Hao Dongmei didn't want to pay attention to her. It was the first time in her life that her mother had gone too far.

Actually... actually..., she was embarrassed to think about it, let alone say it.

However, her mother's next words broke her guard.

"Do you want to be your brother Li's wife?"

"..."

Seeing her daughter's silence, Mother Hao continued: "As long as you want, Mom will support you."

"If you don't want to, just forget everything about yesterday and don't talk to anyone."

"If anyone asks, just say that you met your aunt yesterday and took you back to grandma's house to see grandma."

"You left a note, but the note was blown off the table by the wind."

"Our family says this to the outside world, otherwise you won't be able to get married in the future."

Hearing this, Hao Dongmei felt a little confused. She thought about it and asked, "Mom, brother Li is leaving tomorrow. Can I go and see him before he leaves? Or you can let me see him off."

"Can I answer your question later?"

Jin Yueji shook her head and said, "If you want to, you have to figure it out today. Otherwise, if he leaves, Mom will decide where to go."

"Okay, Mom is going out first. Think about it carefully and give me the answer early tomorrow morning."

After a while, Father Hao came back. Looking at Jin Yueji in the living room, he hurriedly came over and asked in a low voice: "How is your question?"

Mother Hao glanced at the room and said, "Your daughter is in love, nothing else happened. The young man has a good character."

Father Hao nodded when he heard this and said, "It's a pity that it's this year, otherwise I would have to repay him well."

"What happened these days? The reward cannot be vague. I still have a pair of gold bracelets. You can buy ten pounds of red sausage later."

Hearing this, Father Hao's mouth twitched, not because he felt sorry for the gold bracelet, but for the red sausage.

"No, red sausage requires a meat ticket. Where can I get ten pounds of it?"

"Then I don't care. Isn't your daughter's life worth ten pounds of red sausage and two gold bracelets?"

"Even if you borrow it, you have to lend it back to me."

"I'll give you one day, Xiao Li will leave tomorrow."

Father Hao glanced at the eight taels of pork belly in his hand and thought that he would have known better and would not have bought it.

But his wife has spoken, what can he do, and she is right, isn't his daughter worth ten pounds of red sausage?

"Okay, then you can cook and get your daughter an iron pot to stew. I'll borrow some meat tickets."

As a high-ranking official, it was not difficult for him to borrow ten pounds of meat coupons.

When Li Xiuzhu returned to the guest house, Zheng Peipei looked over as soon as the door opened. The moment he saw it was Li Xiuzhu, he burst into tears and burst into laughter, and flew into Li Xiuzhu's arms.

"Brother, I thought you didn't want me to leave by myself."

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he knew he was in the wrong, but he still smiled helplessly and said, "I will definitely do what I promised you, and a bag as big as mine is still here."

Hearing this, Zheng Peipei stuck out her tongue mischievously and said with a pear-shaped smile: "Yes, if you don't come back, I will eat them all for you to see if you feel bad."

Li Xiuzhu wiped the little girl's tears distressedly and said, "Eat when you're hungry, don't skimp on it. There's no shortage of food at home."

Hearing this, Zheng Peipei responded, and then asked: "Brother, what did you do yesterday?"

Li Xiuzhu didn't hide anything and said, "On the way back, I saw a girl about your age falling into the water, so I rescued her."

"But something unexpected happened and we were delayed until dark. We couldn't get back in time, so we couldn't come back."

"Are you anxious to wait?"

Zheng Peipei was already worried after hearing this. She quickly looked at Li Xiuzhu and was relieved when she saw that everything was fine.

"Brother, just be okay."
