Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

As soon as the jeep stopped, Su Chen pushed open the car door and rushed out, taking off his shirt as he ran to the riverbank, and then plunged in.

"Dr. Su... Dr. Su, if you can't find me, hurry up and come up..."

"What do I do! What do I do..."

Looking anxiously at the river, but still no sign of Su Chen, Wu Changyou paced back and forth on the riverbank, but he was a complete landlubber and dared not go into the water.

Time was ticking away, and Wu Changyou's anxiety was growing.

"Dr. Su, please don't die! My happiness depends on you. If you die, I'll..."

Wow!

A head popped out of the water and then swam vigorously toward the riverbank.

"Dr. Su, I'm so glad you're alright! Quick! Grab a branch!"

Upon seeing Su Chen emerge from the water, Wu Changyou immediately shouted with delight and picked up a long branch from the ground.

"So, is she dead?"

Looking at the woman lying motionless on the ground, Wu Changyou asked worriedly.

Grasping the woman's wrist and sensing that she still had a faint pulse, Su Chen laid her body flat and then placed his fingers interlaced on her chest.

"So soft... Ugh... No, I mean, so good at saving people."

The soft touch on his fingertips stirred Su Chen's heart. He quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down and then began chest compressions.

One... two... three...

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

After pressing the pressure point more than a dozen times, the woman began to cough violently.

"Young lady, how are you feeling now? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Seeing that the woman had opened her eyes, Su Chen supported her back and helped her sit up straight.

Why did you save me?!

Why did you save me?!

The woman did not answer Su Chen's question about culture; she just kept muttering the same phrase to herself.

"Is Dr. Su a fool?!"

Looking at the woman who was in a daze, Wu Changyou leaned close to Su Chen's ear and whispered something.

Only then did Su Chen have time to carefully examine the woman he had rescued. She had a pale, thin face, a pair of bewildered and lifeless eyes, a pert nose, and a small mouth with slightly bluish lips.

His clothes, soaked by the river, clung tightly to his body, drawing Su Chen's gaze to the most prominent feature.

Holy crap! (Using a plant to represent an exclamation)

How did this woman grow up like this? No wonder she doesn't have much meat on her body. I thought she was starving. Turns out she concentrated all her nutrients in one place.

The phrases "great tolerance" and "a great uproar" involuntarily came to mind for Su Chen.

“That You Rong… no! Young lady, where do you live? Should we take you home, young lady…”

Why did you save me?!

Why did you save me?!

Ignoring Su Chen's question completely, the woman kept repeating the same sentence.

"Director Wu, what do you suggest we do now?"

Looking up at Wu Changyou standing beside him, Su Chen asked helplessly.

"Dr. Su, why don't we take her back to your village first? Judging from her condition, she must have suffered some kind of shock. If we don't take care of her, she'll definitely jump into the river and commit suicide again..."

Finally, having no other choice, Su Chen had to agree to Wu Changyou's suggestion and get the woman into the car.

The woman kept repeating that phrase throughout the journey.

"Sister Yaoyao, Sister Xiaolan, please come out for a moment."

The jeep stopped at the gate, and Su Chen called out to it.

Upon hearing the shouts, Bai Peiyao and Feng Lan hurriedly ran out from inside.

"What's wrong with you? Did you go fishing in the river?...Who is she?!"

But seeing Su Chen's soaking wet clothes, Feng Lan couldn't help but tease him. Before she could finish speaking, Su Chen suddenly appeared, revealing Lin Wanying, who was standing there in a daze inside the jeep, and she couldn't help but scream.

"Don't just stand there, Sister Xiaolan, quickly lend a hand and get her inside. We found her in the river on our way back. You and Sister Yaoyao go and change her into some clean clothes. I'll check her over in a bit."

Fearing the woman might go crazy along the way, Wu Changyou made Su Chen sit in the back and watch her. Leaving a hot-blooded young man to face the temptation of being wet, who knows how Su Chen survived the journey.

"Dr. Su, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to pick you up in half a month, and we'll go to the old regimental commander's place together."

Seeing that Su Chen had changed into clean clothes, Wu Changyou prepared to leave.

"No, Director Wu, we brought this woman here. You have to come with me to Village Chief Yang to explain the situation. It would be troublesome if someone accused me of abducting a woman."

You really did come up with the idea of ​​abducting women, but you should definitely explain the situation to avoid anyone using it as an excuse to cause trouble later.

And so Su Chen and Wu Changyou arrived at Yang Dazhuang's house.

"What? You rescued a woman? A woman who jumped into the river to commit suicide? You should have taken her to the police station. Well, since we're already here, let's leave her in the village for now and decide what to do after she sobers up tomorrow..."

After hearing the two men's stories, Yang Dazhuang immediately became furious, but ultimately he did not allow them to take the woman away.

“Brother…brother, come here. I’m asking you, did you really pick her up from the river? All I’ve heard her say for so long is that same sentence over and over again. Is there something wrong with her?”

As soon as Su Chen returned home after leaving Yang Dazhuang's house, Feng Lan pulled him aside and asked him in a low voice.

The woman had changed into a clean set of clothes. Because they were Bai Peiyao's clothes, they didn't fit her very well, especially the parts that were not meant to be restrained, which gave the impression that the clothes were about to burst at any moment.

What's wrong with me? I've lived with Bai Peiyao and Feng Lan for so long, and I've never lost my composure like this before. Could it be that I have Mengde syndrome, and I'm attracted to mature and charming women?

Shaking his head vigorously, Su Chen shifted his gaze elsewhere and then recounted the events in detail.

"So what should we do now? Do you have any way to bring her back to normal?"

A woman who wants to jump into the river to commit suicide must have suffered something unbearable. Feng Lan looked at Su Chen with an anxious expression.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen took out silver needles from his medicine box.

"Sister Yaoyao, Sister Xiaolan, you two, don't let her move around. I'll give her a couple of acupuncture needles and see if it works."

In fact, Bai Peiyao and Feng Lan didn't even need to lift a finger. At this moment, the woman was like a puppet, mechanically repeating that sentence.

Several silver needles were slowly inserted into the woman's head. After a moment, the woman closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep.

After waiting a few more minutes, Su Chen removed the silver needles from the woman's head one by one.

"Ah! I...you saved me, why did you save me? It would have been better if I had just died..."

After Su Chen removed the last silver needle, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, looked around, and let out a mournful sound as she became emotional.

“Sister, we don’t know what happened to you, but every hardship will pass. You might think that jumping off would end it all, but think about your family… and…”

“My family, my father doesn’t want us anymore, and my mother died a few days ago. I have no family left in this world.”

"Uh! Sister, I didn't mean to bring up your sad things, but have you thought about it? Who would be happiest if you died? It would definitely be those who bullied you. You're not even afraid of death, so why should you be afraid of them? The best way to retaliate against them is to become more outstanding and happier than them in the future..."

Bai Peiyao and Feng Lan took turns trying to calm the woman down.

After calming down, the woman briefly recounted her situation.

Lin Wanying is 23 years old this year. Her father was a high-ranking official in the Republic of China, and her mother was her fifth concubine. When she was a few years old, Northeast China was liberated, and her father fled by plane alone.

With the money her mother had saved, Lin Wanying lived a fairly good life in the early years. However, with the political movements in recent years, Lin Wanying's mother was also targeted and persecuted.

To protect her daughter, Lin Wanying's mother decisively chose to sever ties with her daughter and had a matchmaker find Lin Wanying a very poor husband.
