Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

After several new educated youths arrived at Qingshan Brigade, the brigade became lively again for a while.

In Yan Zhihua's words, there were a lot of troubles, making him restless. Every three days there was a small problem, and every five days a big one, and he had even turned ten more hairs white from worry.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, something terrible has happened!"

Yan Cunzhong banged on the door and shouted into it.

"My brother Cunli is back!"

"Second Uncle, are you home?"

Soon, the door opened, and a faint smile appeared on Yan Zhihua's wrinkled face. "Cunli is back?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Cunzhi shook his head again and hurriedly said, "No, no, something's happened to Brother Cunli, you have to go see him!"

Yan Zhihua's expression turned serious, and he had a bad feeling.

There is a winding river at the foot of Qingshan Brigade. It is about ten meters wide and not deep. People often wade across the river instead of taking the detour or crossing the bridge.

There is a stream that flows down from the top of the mountain in the village. People usually wash their clothes nearby and don't go to the river.

This morning, just as dawn was breaking, Yan Cunli arrived in the county from the army by train, carrying a package as he walked toward Qingshan Brigade.

As we approached the bridge, I spotted people arguing by the riverbank, about a hundred meters away from it.

The argument escalated into a physical altercation in just a few dozen seconds, and Yan Cunli immediately frowned.

With the recent heavy rains, the river level has risen, and falling in is no laughing matter.

He quickly got off the bridge and ran towards it.

Wu Tongxue got up early this morning to go for a walk. Staying at home all the time made her feel unwell, so she went out in the morning to get some fresh air and relieve her depression.

The mountain was difficult to climb, so we decided to walk along the river.

I could hear a quarrel from afar, and I heard words like "man," "thirsty," and "shameless," so I suspected it was a relationship dispute.

Just as he was about to avoid it, he saw someone running towards him from a distance.

Why are you in such a hurry?

"what!"

"Plop——"

In the few seconds that he looked away, a splash came from the river.

Someone fell into the water!

Wu Tongxue quickly walked over and caught another person who was about to jump into the river.

Oh, it's that big, clumsy guy who ran so fast just now.

Yan Cunli was momentarily stunned by that face when he turned around, but there was something more important at hand. He tried to brush away the hand that was grabbing his sleeve, saying, "Let go, I'm going to save people!"

Wu Tongxue glanced at him, twitched the corner of her mouth, didn't let go, and turned to look at the other protagonist of the argument.

Niu Xiaotao looked flustered and uneasy, and lowered her head, saying, "Auntie."

Wu Tongxue did not reprimand her, but said gently, "Xiao Tao, go and pull her up."

"Okay, okay..." With an even louder "splash" than before, the strong and robust Niu Xiaotao jumped directly into the river and strode over to rescue the person.

The woman who fell into the river was thin and seemed unable to swim. She kept thrashing about in the water, choking and shouting for help.

Niu Xiaotao walked over; the water level only reached her waist.

With a swift movement, he grabbed the person's arms and pulled them toward the shore in a very ungentle manner.

Yan Cunli stood there, feeling somewhat awkward.

Wu Tongxue released her grip on his sleeve and smiled, "Thank you, but it's still more convenient for a woman."

"Are you a soldier?"

"You reacted quickly and bravely, rushing to save people immediately."

Yan Cunli touched his nose, his resolute face practically radiating the light of justice, exuding righteousness. But when he met those bright, stunning eyes, he felt inexplicably shy.

"It was my oversight; thankfully you stopped me." Seeing a number of people walking this way from afar, Yan Cunli felt even more guilty for his carelessness. There were clearly other people around, and other plans, so why was he so impulsive, almost ruining the reputation of that female comrade?

Niu Xiaotao almost brute forcefully dragged the person ashore, ignoring the person who had collapsed to the ground, keeping her head down and her fingers tightly clenched.

The temperature was low in the morning, so Wu Tongxue was wearing an extra coat. She took it off and gave it to the person on the ground who was coughing and clutching their chest.

In her drowsy state, Wei Ruzhu smelled a warm and comforting fragrance, faint and delicate, and the fear in her heart suddenly dissipated.

With great effort, she raised her head and met a face as beautiful as a rose, with a gentle expression. She was like a fairy, and her eyes, which seemed to belong to only one person, made her feel dizzy, as if floating on a cloud.

He was shrouded in a thin, cool mist, his eyes lowered, and he gave her a reassuring smile that was more dazzling than any sunrise she had ever seen.

Human beings inherently possess a desire to plunder beauty and to possess things exclusively.

Wu Tongxue looked at her hand that was holding her with surprise.

Despite being a young girl who seemed to have been pampered at home, Wu Tongxue was very tolerant. After holding on for a few seconds, she let go of her hand on her own.

He seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you."

"It's alright, we'll take you to the clinic to get checked out." Wu Tongxue stood up, and as she turned her head, she saw Niu Xiaotao's dissatisfied look.

Niu Xiaotao's mother died early, and she was raised by her father alone. She even took her mother's surname. She was a very capable worker at home. Wu Tongxue had seen her working several times and found her to be a very diligent and good child.

Why should the clothes be given to Wei Ruzhu? Niu Xiaotao hated her and angrily swung her knife at Wei Ruzhu.

No one is that weak. This is just being dramatic and trying to gain sympathy.

Feeling indignant, she was startled when she unexpectedly met her aunt's gaze and hurriedly lowered her head.

Niu Xiaotao liked her aunt very much and was very gentle with her. Every time she talked to her aunt, she would be happy for several days.

Could it be that my aunt might dislike her?

The thought of this possibility made him lower his head even further, and his anxiety almost infected everyone present.

Wu Tongxue's brows twitched, but he didn't say anything. He didn't know the cause and effect. The most important thing was to take the person to the health center for a check-up, and both of them were given a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold.

"Can you walk?" he asked Wei Ruzhu.

Wei Ruzhu staggered to her feet, soaked to the bone and shivering with cold.

Her eyes were red as she looked at Wu Tongxue, looking pitiful.

Wu Tongxue didn't want to help her up, so she said, "Xiao Tao, you help her walk."

Wei Ruzhu turned her head slightly and met Niu Xiaotao's gaze, who looked displeased.

Niu Xiaotao was extremely reluctant, but she didn't refuse. She went over and grabbed her arm, saying, "Let's go."

Wei Ruzhu let out a soft breath, lowered her eyes, and was helped away by Niu Xiaotao.

"Hey, what's this?"

A group of aunties who had been walking in the distance approached, some out of curiosity and some out of concern, asking questions incessantly.

"Why did you fall into the river?"

"Wait, you are... who was it again? Oh, from Xinghua's family!"

"You actually came back!"

Yan Cunli was a well-known model youth in the brigade, and everyone was very interested in him. "Do your parents know about him?"

"Are you coming back for vacation? How long will you be on vacation?"

"When are you leaving? Come visit my second cousin's house later."

"It's been years, you've grown even more handsome. Do you have a girlfriend yet? Let me tell you, in our brigade..."

"Sister-in-law, they slipped and fell into the river while walking along the bank. I'll take them to the clinic first," Wu Tongxue explained simply before leaving with her entourage.

With Yan Cunli around, the aunties didn't have time to ask any more questions. They even urged him, "Hurry up and go, hurry up. Falling into the river is no joke. Go check on him right away."

Yan Cunli wanted to go with them, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he stopped in his tracks.

No, what was he going there for?

There were three women there; he would only get in the way if he followed them.

My gaze drifted vaguely to their backs through the crowd.

Niu Xiaotao calls her aunt...

Even though they're married, and he's still his elder, his behavior today was truly rude.

He sighed inwardly, and after a few seconds, he smiled and responded to everyone's questions.
