Soon, Xu Ning dragged the person who fell into the water onto the shore.
"I checked and found that the person is still alive, but he passed out. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Xu Ning put the person on the beach, rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and couldn't help but shudder.
A few little ones couldn't suppress their curiosity and ran over to join in the fun. Before they even got close, Xiaotuanzi covered his mouth and screamed: "Sister Nian Yun, it's Sister Nian Yun!"
Yang looked at the pale young woman, confused, "Sister Nianyun... the county magistrate's daughter? But wasn't the county magistrate's daughter burned to death?"
Xiaotuanzi puffed up his cheeks and said arrogantly: "I said she was not dead, and you still didn't believe it. Do you believe it now?"
Mrs. Yang was amazed, don't tell me, the little guy's words are quite effective.
"Your fourth uncle has been sad for several days because of the county magistrate's daughter. He would be very happy to know that she is still alive."
Yang smiled and rubbed her head, "It's more important to save people. Let's come back and pry the oysters later. Now, how about we take Miss Yuan home first?"
"Okay, Second Aunt is here to watch Sister Nianyun, I'll carry the basket!" Xiaotuanzi said happily and ran towards the reef area.
Yang, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed her back and said, "Little monkey spirit, I know you are dishonest. Stand still while my second aunt goes to get the basket."
Xiaotuanzi lowered his head and answered sadly: "Okay..."
She originally thought she could take this opportunity to smash two oysters to satisfy her cravings, but it turned out that she had overthought it.
My second aunt's skills are almost as good as those of my grandmother.
Xu Ning carried Yuan Nianyun on his back, and Yang carried today's harvest. Several small hands walked between the two, and the abalone hunting team returned to Xingfu Village in a grand manner.
Before entering the house, Mrs. Yang told Xu Ning: "Ning Ning, when you get home later, you will boil hot water for Miss Yuan to wash her clothes. I will go to the dock to call my fourth brother and ask for a doctor. If I encounter any trouble, I will let the child go."
Let’s go out and ask the village chief for help.”
Xu Ning nodded in agreement. He wanted to move his aching arms, but unexpectedly, his body swayed and woke up the unconscious person behind him.
Yuan Nianyun opened his eyes and saw a foggy scene in front of him. Everything fell into a blur of light and shadow in his eyes.
My brain was also groggy, as if I had been filled with water, diluting the memories of this period of time.
In the impression, she had a quarrel with her father to save Xiaotuanzi from the Shu family. After the quarrel, she covered her head and fell asleep. When she woke up, her home was gone.
Her father was imprisoned for taking bribes and bending the law for personal gain. All the family property was confiscated. As a family member, she was also implicated and was imprisoned together with her mother and servants.
She couldn't remember what happened next.
She only remembered that her mother wanted to bribe the jailer to send her away, but she was unwilling. Her mother held her and cried until her eyes almost went blind. She also cried for a long time.
Then, she took a nap, and when she woke up, she found that she was out of prison, and her mother in prison was a charred corpse.
After hearing the news, she was devastated and wanted to die with her mother, but she couldn't help her wet nurse's pleading and gave up the idea of death.
But her family is dead, and she has no will to live.
Two days ago, the wet nurse took her on a boat to Qizhou and said that the scenery there was very good and that a change of scenery would make her mood better.
Unexpectedly, the boat capsized halfway and she fell into the ocean. Life or death was determined by God.
The moment before she fell into coma, she was still thinking: Just die, and you will be completely freed if you die.
It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. Those who wanted to live did not survive, but those who wanted to die were saved.
Yuan Nianyun breathed out with difficulty, lowered his head, and met a pair of eyes as bright as the sun.
The light in her eyes was intense and hot, domineeringly melting the ice in her heart.
She was stunned for a moment. The little girl in front of her looked familiar... Was she rescued by the Shu family?
In a daze, a pair of soft little hands held her fingers, and Xiao Tuanzi's soft voice sounded in her ears: "Sister Nianyun, are you awake? I knew you wouldn't die!"
Grandpa Fairy said that good people will be rewarded with good things, and you are a good person, so you will definitely be rewarded with good things!"
Hearing the familiar voice of "Sister Nianyun", Yuan Nianyun suddenly woke up. The person who saved her was really a little girl from the Shu family. The world is really small.
While lamenting that fate has played a trick on people, there was also a sense of loss in my heart.
Yuan Nianyun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, "Who am I a good person?"
Can a prisoner who was originally going to be exiled be considered a good person?
Xiaotuanzi corrected her seriously: "Of course, forget it. Without Sister Nianyun's help, we might not be able to open a restaurant now!"
"That's right. I always hear my fourth brother talking about you, saying that you are good-looking, kind-hearted, and the best girl in the world. It's true after seeing you today."
Yang held her cold palm with a warm smile on his face, "Girl, you must be freezing after staying outside for so long, right? You lie down on the bed for a while, and my sister-in-law will find you some clean clothes."
Ningning, send people to my house, Qingsong, don’t just watch the fun here, pick up the firewood in the yard and bring it to the kitchen. Later I will boil a pot of hot water for Miss Yuan and steam two eggs."
The family was busy in full swing. Yuan Nianyun didn't say a word during the whole process, his expression was dull, and he didn't make any unnecessary movements.
First, I was not in the mood, and second, I really had no energy after being hungry for two days.
Unaware of the situation, Xu Ning went to the kitchen to ask Yang about Yuan Nianyun's situation. Yesterday, she was still crying. Today, the withered person became a close sister again, and ran over to comfort Yuan Nianyun enthusiastically.
"Miss Yuan, do you feel that you are about to die?"
Yuan Nianyun didn't expect anyone to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment.
Xu Ning held her hand, sat in front of the bed and said to herself: "I understand how you feel, because I have been through this too.
I was only eight years old when my mother passed away. I was not very old, but I understood everything I should know. My sister-in-law was mean and would always kick me out if she didn’t give me food. At that time, I was thinking, there is no one in this world.
If people love me, why should I still be alive? I might as well die.
That day I finished my work and left the house. I was about to jump into the sea and drown myself. The uncle selling steamed buns stopped me halfway. He said that he had a few unwashed dishes at home and asked me to clean them for him.
I eat buns.
Later, while eating the hot steamed buns, I suddenly didn’t want to die anymore.
I want to work hard to live, live a life like myself, eat delicious meat buns, wear beautiful new clothes, and cover myself with soft cotton quilts... As long as I work hard enough, there will definitely be such a day.
Miss Yuan, do you want to work hard and give yourself another chance?"
Yuan Nianyun felt the temperature on her fingertips. It was fake that she wasn't moved, but...
"Our situation is different. My father has done many wrong things and is a sinner. I am also a sinner. I don't deserve to live."
Xu Ning smiled softly, "Miss Yuan, I am a rough person and can't speak the truth, so I will ask you a question.
When you die, will the sins you carry disappear? Will the suffering your father brought to the people disappear?"
