Crossing Over to Yamada Love

Mo Lan knew that Mo Ju had harmed her, but she had no other choice at the moment. No matter how many ideas she had, she was stuck in the middle of the river with nothing on either side, and there was nothing she could do to change her fate of falling into the water. However, having Mo Ju with her made her feel a little better, so she clung tightly to Mo Ju's clothes and pulled her into the river with her.

The river water was so cold; that was Mo Lan's only feeling at that moment.

This river is deep in the mountains. Because of the cold winters, it usually freezes over and doesn't thaw until May of the following year. Even in summer, the river water is still icy cold, let alone in the current weather, which is even more bone-chillingly cold.

Because Mo Lan was small, she couldn't stand up immediately after falling. She pulled Mo Ju into the water, and the two of them fell into the water. It looked like the river was about to drown them.

"Lanlan!" Mo Changhe shouted and jumped into the water towards the two of them.

Upon seeing the two fall in, Cheng Xiao and Liu Hu shouted at the same time and jumped into the river, heading towards them.

The river wasn't very deep; the middle section only reached about waist-deep in Mo Changhe. The icy water splashed onto their bodies, and they all shivered at the same time. But at that moment, they didn't care about the cold; they were only concerned about Mo Lan's comfort.

Mo Lan, who had fallen into the water, tried to stand up, but Mo Ju, for some unknown reason, pulled her forcefully. Mo Lan was unable to stand; she couldn't swim. In her struggle, she swallowed several mouthfuls of river water. The icy water made Mo Lan feel like she was suffocating.

Mo Ju couldn't stand up either, and like Mo Lan, she swallowed several mouthfuls of river water. But she kept pulling on Mo Lan, preventing her from getting up.

"Lanlan. Lanlan." Mo Changhe rushed to the middle of the river and pulled his daughter up. Mo Lan knew that her father had come to save her. She felt relieved, let go of Mo Ju's clothes, and held her father tightly with both hands.

Just as Mo Changhe picked up his daughter, Cheng Xiao and Liu Hu arrived. Seeing Mo Lan, whose clothes and hair were dripping wet, their faces were as pale as Mo Changhe's.

When Mo Ju arrived, she knew that she could no longer deal with Mo Lan. She let go of Mo Lan's hand, grabbed Mo Changhe, and tried to follow him out, but the river was too deep and almost submerged her head. She felt powerless.

Seeing that Mo Changhe was completely ignoring her, she swung her arms again, turned around, and grabbed Cheng Xiao.

"Cheng Xiao, save me!" Mo Ju grabbed Cheng Xiao tightly, threw herself against him, and fainted after weakly saying these words.

Cheng Xiao was anxious to comfort Mo Lan, but since she had fainted on him, he couldn't just push her into the river and leave her there.

"Liu Hu, can you help me? I can't handle her by myself." He called out to Liu Hu helplessly, as it was really difficult for him to handle the black chrysanthemum by himself.

Liu Hu was also anxious about Mo Lan's condition, but being a kind person, he couldn't just stand by and watch her die, so he had no choice but to work with Cheng Xiao to get Mo Ju ashore as well.

"Lanlan, are you alright? How are you? Don't scare your dad." Mo Changhe carried his daughter ashore and asked anxiously.

"Father, I'm fine." Mo Lan hadn't fainted. Although she was freezing cold and her teeth were chattering, she still gave Mo Changhe a smile.

Cheng Xiao and Liu Hu also saw this smile, and the three of them, along with Mo Changhe, almost shed tears. At this moment, Mo Lan was like a small flower swaying in the wind, so pitiful.

Seeing his daughter trembling uncontrollably, Mo Changhe hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped it around her, tightly enveloping her. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Don't be afraid, little girl, Daddy's here! Daddy will take you home right now."

Mo Lan clung tightly to her father, absorbing his warmth. Seeing that he was about to carry her back, she quickly rallied and said, "Grandpa is still over there... Call... Grandpa back so we can go together, and take Tazi too... I can... I can... hold on."

"Dad, Dad, come back quickly! Lanlan has fallen into the water! Let's go back!" Mo Changhe shouted twice towards the opposite bank, then looked at his daughter who was trembling as she spoke and said anxiously, "We don't need the pagoda anymore! As long as you're alright, who cares about the pagoda!"

"Father, take... take Ta Zi with you, otherwise... no... this trip will have been for nothing." Mo Lan knew her father was worried about her, but she knew her own body. She was probably fine, but she would definitely catch a chill. She could go back, lie on the heated kang, and drink some ginger soup to get rid of the cold. As for Mo Ju who fainted, only she knew whether she was really unconscious or not.

Mo Ju lay on the ground, feeling ice-cold all over, struggling to stop herself from shivering. She was afraid they would discover she was faking her faint. Why did Cheng Xiao just leave her there after putting her down? Shouldn't he be holding her close to keep her warm? No! She had to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, she slowly opened her eyes and weakly said, "Cold, so cold! Where am I? Am I dead?"

Cheng Xiao glanced at her, feeling a bit angry. It was all her fault! If it weren't for her, Lanlan wouldn't have fallen into the water. Looking at Mo Lan's weak appearance, he felt terrible and wished he could take her place. But despite his anger, he couldn't bring himself to lash out at Mo Ju for her pitiful look.

"It's alright now. Liu Hu and I rescued you. Are you alright?" Cheng Xiao asked her.

"I'm not dead? That's great! Is Lanlan alright? She fell into the water, and I tried to pull her out, but I fell in too. Is she okay? Thank you for saving me." Mo Ju thanked her, blushing. Then she shivered and said, "It's so cold!"

"Lanlan is lucky and will definitely be alright. My clothes are all wet, so I can't give them to you. Just bear with it." Cheng Xiao frowned, looked at the shivering Mo Ju, then at his own clothes, and ultimately did not take off his clothes to give to her.

"What happened? What happened? Lan'er, are you alright?" Mo Quan rushed over when he heard the shouts. He didn't even have time to pick up the pagoda he had already picked up. When he saw his granddaughter's condition, he quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around her.

"Let's go back and talk about it, Dad. Let's hurry back. Lanlan said she wants to bring the pagoda with her, otherwise we'll have come all this way for nothing." Seeing that his father had arrived, Mo Changhe quickly picked up his daughter and headed down the mountain.

"Why bring any more pagodas? Really..." Mo Quan had no mind to bring pagodas at the moment, but since his granddaughter and son asked him to, he still carried a bag of pagodas and ran down the mountain behind his son. As for Mo Ju, he didn't even see her.

“Let’s go too.” Liu Hu picked up two baskets full of pagodas and ran down the mountain.

"Cheng Xiao, I... I can't walk anymore, don't leave me behind." Mo Ju saw Cheng Xiao carrying a basket and about to run down the mountain, so she quickly hugged Cheng Xiao's leg.

"Get up quickly, I'll help you. If you don't stay close, they'll all go back, and I won't be able to get you home. Or, I'll go to your house and call someone to come and pick you up." Cheng Xiao looked at the little girl clinging to his legs with a helpless expression.

"No, I can keep up." Mo Ju gritted her teeth, stood up from the ground, gently took Cheng Xiao's arm, and the two of them hurried down the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Mo Changhe had already loaded the car, and Mo Lan, wrapped up tightly, lay down in the car.

"Grandpa Quan, wait! There's still us!" Cheng Xiao called out hurriedly. He wanted to see Mo Lan and know if she was alright before he could feel at ease.

The two ran to the car. Mo Ju looked at Mo Lan in the car and smiled, "Lan Lan, it's good that you're alright!" Then she fainted.

Everyone frowned as they looked at Mo Ju, who had fainted in the car. They couldn't just leave her there. Mo Quan moved Mo Ju a little to help her lie down. Then, he, Mo Changhe, Cheng Xiao, and Liu Hu pushed the cart home.

"Second son's wife, quickly heat up the kang (heated brick bed) and make a bowl of ginger soup." Mo Quan shouted loudly as soon as he entered the backyard, while Mo Changhe carried his daughter directly into the house.

"What happened? What's wrong with Lan'er?" Qiu was tidying up the vegetables in the yard when she saw her husband rushing in with their daughter in his arms, and she panicked.

"Hurry up and heat the kang (heated brick bed), Lanlan has fallen into the water." Mo Changhe answered her urgently, put Mo Lan on the kang, and covered her with a large quilt.

"How did Lan'er fall into the water? Lan'er, are you alright? Don't scare your mother." Looking at her daughter's pale face, Qiu panicked and held her tightly, forgetting all about heating the kang (a heated brick bed) and making ginger soup.

"I'll go heat the kang (heated brick bed)." Liu looked at Mo Lan with concern and hurried off to heat the kang. Everyone had to stay calm and not panic.

"Changhe, you and your father go out first. Lanlan needs to change out of her wet clothes. Also, Cheng Xiao and Liu Hu, I see they're wet too, you should make arrangements for them as well." Looking at her granddaughter's appearance, Wang felt sad, but even though she was sad, someone had to make arrangements.

"Okay, I'll go right now. There's another one in the car; I'll take her back first." Seeing his mother and wife taking care of their daughter, Mo Changhe felt somewhat relieved. He asked his father to arrange for Cheng Xiao and Liu Hu to go, while he went to take Mo Ju back from the car. He couldn't let her stay in the car forever, nor could he leave her at his own home.

Leaving aside the scene of Mo Changhe sending Mo Ju back, let's talk about Mo Lan. At this moment, she felt a splitting headache. With the help of her grandmother and mother, she changed into clean clothes and wrapped herself in a thick quilt, but she still felt cold, as if she were in an ice cellar and couldn't warm up.

She wanted to sleep; she was so tired and sleepy. She didn't want to open her eyes.

"Lan'er, don't sleep yet. The ginger soup will be ready soon. If you don't get rid of the cold, you'll develop health problems later." Wang Shi looked at her somewhat drowsy granddaughter and called her softly.

"Okay, I won't sleep." Mo Lan forced herself to stay awake, waiting for the ginger soup. She knew she had caught a chill, and not expelling the cold would easily lead to a long-term illness.

"The ginger soup is here. Come on, Lanlan, drink it while it's hot." Liu put a rag down on the bowl and brought over the ginger soup.

"Sister-in-law, let me feed Lan'er." Qiu Shi, with red eyes, took the ginger soup, blew on it twice, and gave it to Mo Lan to drink.

It was so hot! Mo Lan felt her tongue was burning, but it was best to drink it while it was hot. She endured the heat and drank it down sip by sip. As the hot ginger soup went down, a warm feeling rose from her stomach, and Mo Lan finally felt warm.
