"What did you say?" Lin Zhilan's face turned pale, and she pushed Du Hongmei away and ran outside.

Lin Zijun and Ye Congshan quickly followed.

Du Hongmei stopped him, "You're not selling the medicine anymore?"

Lin Zijun waved his hand impatiently: "I'm not selling anymore, you don't believe me anyway. We have things to do, you guys should leave now."

He turned and ran away after saying that, leaving the mother and daughter looking at each other in bewilderment.

-

Lin Zhilan has been quite busy these past few days. Linlin has been painting with Wang Rou, and Jiang Chengzhou hasn't come to the hospital with her.

Suddenly finding himself unsupervised, Jiang Chengzhou felt a little out of sorts.

After wandering around outside for half a day, I realized that none of the games I used to play were very interesting anymore.

He thought for a moment, then turned around and went to find Yan Yuan.

Grandpa Yan Yuan had gone out to sea. When Jiang Chengzhou arrived, he was carrying a bucket and tongs, preparing to go beachcombing.

Jiang Chengzhou had never been to the sea before, and his eyes immediately lit up with curiosity. He begged Yan Yuan to take him with him.

Children who grow up by the sea all know how to go beachcombing. Yan Yuan was still a child, so he agreed without much thought.

The two children walked towards the beach together.

The beach after the tide receded exposed large areas of wet rocks and shallow pits.

At first, Jiang Chengzhou simply followed behind Yan Yuan, picking up small seashells that were pushed ashore by the waves.

Yan Yuan squatted by the rocks, intently prying open oysters, glancing in his direction every now and then.

Just as he bent down and pried open the oysters, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Chengzhou walking a few steps toward the waves.

Not far away, a palm-sized, colorful conch shell was gently rolling with the receding tide.

"Jiang Chengzhou, don't go over there!" Yan Yuan shouted hurriedly.

But Jiang Chengzhou was already attracted by the conch shell and was about to reach it, so he bent down to scoop it up.

Just then, a tidal wave surged towards us.

It's low tide now, so the waves aren't big.

But for a seven-year-old child, that was enough to knock him down.

Just as Jiang Chengzhou picked up the conch, his foot slipped, and he fell into the knee-deep seawater with a "plop".

Before I could even get up, another wave surged in.

Jiang Chengzhou only felt fear at this moment, but his body had already been swept into the waves.

The salty seawater filled his mouth and nose, and Jiang Chengzhou frantically tried to move his arms and legs, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Am I going to die...?

Jiang Chengzhou was saddened; he was dead, and his aunt and sister would surely cry.

Uncle... I wonder if he'll cry.

Jiang Chengzhou closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.

The next second, a pair of hands grabbed him!

It's Yan Yuan!

He plunged the pliers deep into the sand and desperately pulled on Jiang Chengzhou with his hands.

The waves relentlessly pounded on the two children, causing them pain. Yan Yuan grabbed Jiang Chengzhou's hand and, with the force of the waves, pushed them forward, helping them climb onto a nearby rock.

The waves were still crashing, but this time they failed to sweep the two children away.

Adults who were out gathering seafood nearby noticed the commotion and immediately ran over, pulling the two soaking wet people back.

Since Grandpa Yan Yuan wasn't home, the kind-hearted fishermen simply took the two of them to the family compound. They were soaking wet, with their hair sticking to their foreheads, looking quite disheveled.

Lin Zhilan ran over.

Her face was deathly pale, and her hair was disheveled by the wind; she no longer cared about her appearance.

When she saw Jiang Chengzhou standing there perfectly fine, her legs went weak and she almost lost her balance.

She didn't even dare to think about what might happen to Jiang Chengzhou...

"Auntie..." Jiang Chengzhou called out timidly.

"Don't speak!" Lin Zhilan's voice trembled as she pushed open the courtyard gate. "Come in!"

Jiang Chengzhou's eyes widened. He had never seen his aunt so fierce before, and he immediately dared not speak, obediently going inside.

There were still quite a few onlookers around. Yan Yuan stood there awkwardly, his toes digging into his wet shoes, wanting nothing more than to leave and go home as soon as possible.

Lin Zhilan turned her gaze to him, "And you, come in too!"

Yan Yuan clutched the soaked hem of his clothes, lowered his head, and slowly moved into the courtyard.

Xiao Linlin, who was being held by Wang Rou, sensed that something was wrong, struggled to get down, and hugged her mother's leg, wanting a hug.

Lin Zhilan did not hug her.

She is still weak all over and can't lift the child at all.

Leading her daughter inside, Lin Zhilan closed the gate behind her.

She first squatted down and carefully checked the two children from head to toe. Only after confirming that they were not injured did she feel a little relieved.

First, find two clean sets of clothes in Jiang Chengzhou's room and have the two children change into them.

Then they began interrogating: "Tell me, what exactly happened today?"

Jiang Chengzhou was good at reading people. Seeing his aunt's fierce expression, he didn't dare to be frivolous and carefully explained the whole story.

After saying that, he glanced up at his aunt and whispered, "Yan Yuan fell into the sea to save me."

Yan Yuan didn't dare to look up. "Auntie, I shouldn't have taken Jiang Chengzhou to go beachcombing... I'm sorry, please hit me."

Thinking of how her two children had almost been swept away by the waves, Lin Zhilan's face, which had just regained some color, turned pale instantly.

Fear, relief, and anger intertwined. Lin Zhilan raised her hand and slapped Jiang Chengzhou hard on the buttocks.

"Didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to go to the beach when the adults aren't around? You just won't listen, will you?!"

To teach the child a lesson, she didn't hold back, and Jiang Chengzhou cried out in pain.

Yan Yuan was feeling embarrassed when Lin Zhilan gave him a smack on the bottom. "And you! How old are you? Jiang Chengzhou is in danger, you should go and call an adult, how could you go and save him by yourself! What if something happens to both of you?!"

Yan Yuan was beaten.

But he felt much better.

After Lin Zhilan finished, she couldn't help but hug the two children to her arms, tears streaming down her face. "You scared me to death!"

Jiang Chengzhou and Yan Yuan rested their heads on Lin Zhilan's shoulders, feeling her trembling body, and immediately became obedient and dared not move.

After Jiang Chengzhou came to the island with his uncle, he was very happy every day.

His friends envied him because he had money, could eat whatever he wanted, and no one cared if he made a mistake.

But sometimes, when Jiang Chengzhou sees other children causing trouble and being beaten by their mothers, he feels a little envious.

My aunt cried.

My aunt is angry.

His aunt must really like him.

Thinking of this, and recalling the fear of being swept up by the waves, Jiang Chengzhou hugged his aunt's shoulders and burst into tears.

Yan Yuan also thought of his mother, and large tears fell one by one.

Little Linlin didn't understand what was wrong with everyone. Seeing her mother and brothers crying, she was so scared that she clung to her mother's back and sobbed softly.

The sound of crying came from the courtyard, and the onlookers outside had not yet dispersed.

"Did they get beaten up?"

"He deserves a beating; that kid Jiang Chengzhou is too naughty!"

"Dr. Lin came over. I thought he was being obedient because someone was keeping an eye on him, but it's only been a few days and he's already gotten into a big mess."

"I wonder when Commander Su will be back. It's not easy to manage Dr. Lin, who is only an aunt."

"That Yan Yuan, I don't think he lives in the family compound. Is his grandfather a fishmonger?"

"yes……"
