Chapter 386 The Grievances of the Three Rivers and Four Seas
As soon as I relaxed, a bone-chilling cold immediately swept over my entire body.
Xu Yiyi was soaked to the bone. Her thin, coarse cloth clothes clung tightly to her skin, and seawater mixed with the mud on her body dripped down, making her look utterly disheveled.
His clothes and cuffs were still stained with glaring dark red bloodstains, which he had come across while rescuing the person.
The morning sea breeze carried a biting chill, scraping her body inch by inch like a knife.
"Ah!"
She couldn't help but sneeze, and her exposed skin instantly broke out in a dense layer of goosebumps, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.
His arms hung limply at his sides, feeling sore and cold from exhaustion.
Just as they passed the ancestral hall, the man behind them followed.
He muttered curses under his breath, but Xu Yiyi perked up to listen.
That is, I heard him constantly cursing the woman.
After reaching the intersection, the two parted ways.
She hadn't gone far when she was stopped by several older women.
"Hey! It's Yi-Yi!!"
The aunt was sitting in the yard processing the fish when she saw Xu Yiyi and immediately ran out.
"Yi-yi! Wait for me!"
An older woman rushed out and eagerly grabbed her cold hand.
"Yi-yi! What method did you use just now? How can you pull someone back from the brink of death by touching their chest a few times and blowing a few breaths into their mouth? Can you teach your auntie!"
Xu Yiyi was so cold that her mind was almost unable to function.
She hadn't even had time to react to what her aunt was saying.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Another uncle came over, his face full of surprise.
"This method is truly miraculous. If we were unlucky enough to encounter something like this again that day, we might still have a glimmer of hope."
……
"That means if you hadn't been there just now, Brother Pinghai might have..."
Another uncle patted his chest, still shaken, as he spoke.
The uncles and aunties kept talking, and Xu Yiyi finally realized that they were curious about the method of saving people.
"Yi-yi, don't worry, we won't let you teach us for free. As long as you're willing to teach us, we'll pay you..."
The aunt who initially stopped her sounded a bit anxious, thinking that Xu Yiyi was unwilling.
"Yes, yes, we won't let you teach us for nothing, we'll pay you."
Uncle immediately echoed.
Xu Yi forced a smile, "Teaching, teaching... that's no problem, but could you let me catch my breath first? I need to go back and change my clothes, I'm freezing right now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people standing around him realized what was happening.
"Ah—right, right, hurry back and take a hot shower and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
The aunt quickly let go of her hand. Seeing that she looked weak and listless, she bent down and tried to carry her back.
"It's alright, it's alright. I can walk back and rest now. I'll definitely teach you properly."
Xu Yi waved her hand, refusing the aunt's kindness, and strode away.
When she dragged her cold and tired body back to her doorstep, she subconsciously slowed her pace.
His eyes were filled with doubt, and he was unusually quiet.
At this time of day, the children in the house would usually be running around and making a ruckus in the yard like sparrows whose nests have been disturbed, creating a lively scene like a small market.
But at this moment, the courtyard gate was ajar, and it was quiet inside, with only the faint sound of distant waves.
She pushed open the door and went inside.
The courtyard was empty.
A quick glance revealed two small figures sitting side by side on the threshold of the main house.
Both children had their heads drooping, their little mouths pouting so high they could almost hang the oil cans.
Sanchuan rested his chin on his hands, and Sihai followed suit, cupping his round face with his chubby little hands.
The two brothers looked like two wilted cabbages that had been hit by frost, radiating unhappiness.
Upon hearing the door open, Sanchuan and Sihai simultaneously looked up.
When they saw it was the eldest sister, their eyes lit up instantly.
Soon, that little bit of light was obscured by the feeling of grievance.
Xu Yiyi asked in confusion, "What are you two doing sitting here? Have you had breakfast?"
These words were like a sudden burst of an airbag filled with grievances.
Sanchuan suddenly stood up, his face flushed with anger, and loudly accused them.
"How dare you say that! We agreed to go beachcombing together! You're not being fair, sister! You broke your promise!"
Sihai also stood up, stomped his little feet, and imitated others in his childish voice.
"That's right, it's so dishonest! They ran away without us! They said they were going to call us."
