The cold and icy lake water stimulated the two people soaking in the lake. Ruan He didn't have the energy to think too much, so he used all his strength to row towards the lake. Holding his breath, he finally reached the lake.

In the early morning, the originally quiet mountain forest and lake heard a lot of noise for the third time. This time it was the sound of water flowing out.

"Whoa..."

Ruan He forcibly grabbed Tong Guixiang's arm, and the two of them leaned against the lake. The sound of long-term breathing kept coming. It was the two of them who had been suffocating at the bottom of the lake for a long time and finally relaxed their breathing.

The two of them finally regained their composure, and then they climbed up to the lake shore together in silence, lying down beside the quiet forest to rest.

For Ruan He, who was already average in nature, the desperate effort to drag the person ashore was extremely exhausting, so she collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, motionless, and panting from exhaustion.

At this time, the usual silence returned to the mountain forest and lakeside. Apart from the calls of forest birds in the early morning, the only sound left was the tired breathing of the two people.

After a moment, Tong Guixiang suddenly looked at Ruan He who was lying on his side with calm eyes, and in a hoarse voice that had taken several mouthfuls of lake water, she asked solemnly and seriously.

"Why do you want to save me?"

This hoarse and weak speech was not a question or a complaint, it was just a simple question.

Tong Guixiang couldn't understand what the person in front of her was doing to save her life. For Ruan He and the Mu family, it was not worth it.

They are definitely enemies.

"It's not important." Ruan He was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes. He kept rubbing his eyes that had soaked in the lake water with his hands to relieve the discomfort in his eyes. When he heard this question, he was almost too tired to answer, He just responded calmly.

Not getting any answer, Tong Guixiang closed her eyes in a deep voice. She got up silently, her eyes returned to their original dimness, and she dragged her steps tiredly and stiffly, as if she was planning to do something. .

Afraid that this man would jump into the lake again and seek death, Ruan He bit his lip helplessly and frowned in annoyance. Unable to suppress the annoyance in his heart, he shouted angrily: "You want to die again." !? I jumped into the water to save you and almost drowned together. Do you deserve to die!? You don’t deserve to die now! If you want to die now, you have to take my life! Come on, come on, come on, I carry a dagger with me, and I'll wipe your neck to make your death easier!"

The anger accumulated in her heart suddenly vented, and Ruan He felt much better all over. As she spoke, she actually took out a dagger from her sleeve.

"Clang!" The scabbard of the dagger fell on the forest floor with a crisp sound. The dagger blade glowed with cold light. Ruan He held the handle of the knife and pulled it unceremoniously a few times. In an instant, a tall plant in front of him was cut off.

Being yelled at by Ruan He indiscriminately, Tong Guixiang was stunned for a moment, and stood stiffly on the spot, motionless. Her normally mean mouth could not utter a single word of rebuttal.

Before Tong Guixiang could say a word in response, Ruan He sneered inexplicably and asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Why are you seeking death? Because your husband gave you a letter of divorce, because the adulterer also stayed away from you? Or? Because you will have no fixed place to live in the future, will it be difficult for you to continue living in the exile village?" She was not afraid of irritating Tong Guixiang and spoke slowly, every word was almost like the dagger in Ruan He's hand, fiercely Digging into the deepest pain in my heart.

"Why don't you speak? Say it!" Ruan He licked his dry lips, the strange anger in his mouth never stopped for a moment. He watched Tong Guixiang's expression change slightly, and then asked: "Why don't you tell me why? Seeking death?"

She knew very well that in this situation, gentle words could not stop a person who wanted to die, and harsh words could completely stimulate Tong Guixiang.

"I..." Tong Guixiang, who was usually very sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, would have a slow and stuttering day. Tong Guixiang stumbled and repeated it several times, but she couldn't explain the reason.

But in fact, she knew in her heart that every word Ruan He said was a reason for her to seek death.

After hesitating for a long time, Tong Guixiang squatted down suddenly, covered her face tightly with her hands, tears flowed from between her fingers, and she burst into desperate tears almost instantly. The sound comes.

"I shouldn't have made so many mistakes. There's no turning back now... There's no turning back. I have nothing!"

"So you can only seek death?" Ruan He sneered again and asked unceremoniously.

Before Tong Guixiang could respond, she cursed again like a barrage of words. Naturally, her words were far from gentle. They were not questioning, but just scolding Tong Guixiang for being weak, incompetent and pathetic for seeking death!
"What's the use of jumping into the lake? You can't undo any consequences. You have to bear the consequences of the wrong things you did. When you did these things, you couldn't have thought about the consequences, but you still did it, so just I can accept the ending of having nothing now. I saved you because of my own sympathy and soft-heartedness. It has nothing to do with you, do you understand?"

There was deathly silence all around, and Tong Guixiang could only hear Ruan He's words in her ears. She was silent for a long time, squatting quietly on the ground, letting tears flow all over her hands, and she did not utter a word in rebuttal.

Ruan He didn't know if her righteous words could make Tong Guixiang wake up. After talking to herself for a long time, seeing that Tong Guixiang was silent, she cleared her throat helplessly and urged her. He asked: "I can't be the only one talking... Come on, say something. Do you still want to die? Come on, talk. If you want to die, I can lend you my knife to avoid harming Hao Duanduan." A large lake.”

While speaking, she handed over her sharp long dagger in a serious manner, waiting for Tong Guixiang's reaction.

After waiting for a long time, a calm, hoarse, choked female voice sounded.

"no need."

Tong Guixiang stood up slowly, and her originally dull eyes seemed to have regained some light. Her eyes were filled with calmness and gratitude. She looked at Ruan He steadily for a long time, and then silently He whispered a sentence that he had not said for decades.

"Thank you……"

After being scolded by Ruan He, Tong Guixiang had come to her senses. After returning to the grocery store, she silently packed up her bags and left the exile village. No one knew where she went. (End of chapter)
