Lin Yizhi looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, whose face was painted pale outside the yard, but even such thick white powder could not hide the cracks at the corners of his mouth.

"What's up?"

Lin Xiaoxiao stared at him closely, watching him become more and more radiant. He pinched the corner of his clothes tightly to make himself hold back.

"I have something Jiaojiao hides that I don't want anyone to know."

Lin Yizhi frowned, displeasure flashing in his eyes, "Since it is something my wife doesn't want others to know, why do you know it?"

"Believe it or not, anyone who sees this thing will be shocked. What do you think will happen if I show this thing to the county magistrate?"

He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who seemed to be confident of winning, and was a little skeptical: "Where is the thing?"

Lin Xiaoxiao just looked at him meaningfully and turned to leave. He turned around and greeted Zhao Yang who had just come out of the kitchen, then quickly opened the gate and followed him.

Lin Yizhi followed Lin Xiaoxiao to the pond beside the reeds. He had come here several times with Lin Yiyan to wash clothes. After Zhao Yang and the others came, they no longer came here to wash clothes.

He stopped five meters away from the shore and watched Lin Xiaoxiao squatting by the water. He picked up the hemp rope tied to the reed stalk and turned around. "Don't you want to come and take a look?"

If he didn't get closer, he wouldn't pull up the thing hidden in the water, so he had to take a few steps forward.

As Lin Xiaoxiao slowly pulled up the hemp rope, the things hidden in the water gradually surfaced.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a black boot. Although he could feel that the material of the boot was definitely not cloth, he did not think there was anything strange about it.

He was about to turn around and leave, but Lin Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"Are you sure you don't want to come over and take a closer look? Don't regret it later."

Seeing that the person still didn't look back, Lin Xiaoxiao left, "On July 29th, Jiaojiao brought back a lot of things, didn't she? But her bucket couldn't hold any more, so she had to hide these things, and unfortunately I saw them."

Lin Yizhi stopped and turned around to look at Lin Xiaoxiao who was looking very proud. He did bring back a lot of things when he made spicy snails that day.

"You said I followed her all the way, why are there so many more things in the bucket?"

Hearing this, his heart grew heavier and heavier. He stared at Lin Xiaoxiao for a long while with an obscure expression.

He walked over directly, "Where's the other one?"

Seeing that he believed it and someone walked up to him, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled strangely, "As for the other one, you will have to go to hell!"

Just as he was about to push Lin Yizhi into the water, he was pushed back before he could finish his words. He stared at Lin Yizhi, who had always been cowardly and allowed himself to be bullied, with a look of disbelief on his face.

He took the last chance to grab Lin Yizhi's sleeve and pushed him down hard. Due to the slippery ground and the impact, Lin Yizhi fell straight into the water.

At this time, Lin Jiaojiao's anxious shouts were heard from a distance. Lin Yizhi struggled desperately to break free from Lin Xiaoxiao, who was hugging him tightly and pulling him underwater.

Lin Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all. Maybe Lin Yizhi didn't know that he could swim. As long as Lin Yizhi died, Jiaojiao would be his. Originally, all of this belonged to him!

Lin Yizhi gradually lost his strength, watching the light on the water surface getting farther and farther away, but countless Lin Jiaojiao flashed through his mind, and he didn't want to be separated from her like this...

"Pfft."

...

Lin Jiaojiao looked at the head of the village in confusion. She didn't know any Lin Xiaoxiao. She then turned around and asked Lin's father and the others who came out after hearing the noise.

"Dad, big brother, have you seen Lin Xiaoxiao?"

Seeing that they all shook their heads, I told the village head. Seeing that the village head and the others all looked anxious and worried, I asked, "What happened?"

The village head had no choice but to tell the truth, "All of Lin San's family members are dead! But Lin Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be found. Chen Cheng's mother went to check and said that he died from eating poisonous mushrooms on the dining table. What a sin!"

Zhao Yang thought of the man who came to see Lin Yizhi earlier, and he asked anxiously, "Is he the man with white powder on his face?"

The person who had seen Lin Xiaoxiao walking this way before quickly responded, "Yes! It's him!"

Zhao Yang's face turned pale and he quickly ran to Lin Jiaojiao, "Boss! The second husband followed him!"

Lin Jiaojiao dropped the roasted chestnuts in her hand to the ground. Her heart trembled, "Where are they going?"

Everyone became anxious when they heard this, and Zhao Yang quickly pointed in a direction. Lin Yiyan knew at a glance that it was the direction of the reeds. Thinking of the bottomless pond, his limbs were cold and weak, but he forced himself to support his father who was about to faint.

"Jiao Jiao! Pond!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao didn't care about what was behind her and quickly ran towards the pond, shouting anxiously as she ran, hoping that this was just a false alarm and that nothing would happen to you!

Lin Shen had just come down from the back mountain. He took advantage of everyone's lunch break to pick chestnuts in the back mountain, planning to cook some and send them to Lin Yun tomorrow.

When passing by the reeds, he saw Lin Yizhi and Lin Xiaoxiao just turning into the corner and suddenly disappeared. He stared at the direction they disappeared in confusion.

His intuition was that something was wrong, but he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he stopped at the intersection and walked around the corner.

But when he saw them again, they had both fallen into the water. He quickly put down his backpack, ran over, and jumped directly into the water where they disappeared.

"Yizhi! Lin Yizhi!"

When Lin Jiaojiao ran to the intersection, she saw only a bamboo basket and chestnuts scattered on the ground, but no one was by the pond. Tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Yizhi... don't scare me..."

At this time, there was movement on the water surface. She hurried over and was about to jump in when two heads popped up. She saw that it was Lin Shen dragging the unconscious Lin Yizhi and swimming hard towards the shore.

She squatted down and desperately reached out to Lin Shen, "Lin Shen, over here!"

She held Lin Shen's hand and pulled him towards the shore desperately. After pulling him up, she let go of his hand, caught Lin Yizhi with both hands and pulled him up.

Looking at Lin Yizhi with his eyes closed, she calmed herself down, laid him flat and immediately performed chest compressions on him, then opened his airway and performed artificial respiration.

She repeated the operation, but the person still did not respond, and she began to lose her calm.

"Yizhi! Wake up! Wuwu... Please! Don't leave me..."

The head of the village also brought people to chase after them. When she heard Lin Jiaojiao's crying and Lin Shen dragging Lin Xiaoxiao ashore in the water, with their clothes sticking to their bodies, she hurriedly told the women behind them not to come over and asked them to go back and get blankets.

Lin Jiaojiao kept performing CPR on Lin Yizhi. Lin Shen sat beside her and looked at her face covered in tears and snot. He kissed Lin Yizhi on the mouth from time to time, but the person lying on the ground did not react at all. Lin Xiaoxiao, who was rescued by him later, was slowly waking up and coughing up water.

Obviously, he also hated the way Lin Yizhi and her were happy, but now seeing her heartbroken, his heart ached.

If only he hadn't hesitated.
