Chapter 329: No Drowning

her every step."Well, you're right to do that. It's only been a short time since the apocalypse began, and many people haven't quite grasped what's happening yet. Once they realize the current syste...What's the situation now

"Someone plotted for the original owner to fall into the water, and then the village's son is saving you in the water!"

The stone mill was immediately online, and he still remembered the task arranged by Director Cen.

With a flicker of her rippling eyes, she read the original's memory just now, and then she immediately said:

"Grindstone, figure out a way to dry my clothes, or else I'm coming over there and those idle gossips will have plenty of fodder."

"Great!"

Ripples walked over there, and from afar, she saw more and more people gathering, each with a gossipy and excited expression on their faces.

She also followed the crowd towards that direction, and squeezed to the back of the people crowding the bank. She then deliberately asked a woman with a braid beside her:

"What's wrong"

"Someone fell into the river!"

"Who is it So unlucky"

Ripples pretended to be curious and asked, as if remembering something, with a puzzled expression:

Just now I was the only one washing clothes by the river, I didn't see anyone else!

"Wu Zhiqing, you were by the river just now, how come..."

"I just had a stomachache, so I went to the restroom."

R ripples lowered her voice slightly, a touch of embarrassment in her tone.

"You young intellectuals are so pretentious, even when you **, you make it sound so eloquent."

A girl with pigtails said with a smile.

Ripple blushed slightly, embarrassed. At this moment, a shout came from the front:

"It's been so long since that person went down, how come they haven't been pulled up yet Didn't they sink to the riverbed"

"Everyone scatter and follow the river downstream to look for Wu Zhiqing. Don't get swept away by the current."

"Everyone, lend a hand! If anything happens to the educated youths in our Hongqi Commune, we'll all be punished."

Someone mumbled in a bad mood, I don't know who.

Then the ripples met the braid girl's gaze. She pointed to herself and tentatively asked:

"Are they looking for me!"

The girl with braids was also surprised and immediately shouted:

"Wu Zhiqing is here! Right here!"

The girl's voice, sharp and bright, instantly drew everyone's attention. Immediately, all those gathered by the riverbank turned to face her and the ripples swirling around her.

"Wu Zhiqing, didn't you fall into the river"

Someone asked with suspicion.

"Liàn Yī was also a face full of bewilderment, directly asked:"

"I'm standing right here, aren't I Who said I fell into the river"

"Pan Zhiqing said she saw you fall into the river."

Someone immediately said.

With a beautiful frown, Lian Yi asked directly:

Where is Pan Nuannuan

Then everyone realized, someone had gone to report that Lian Yi, who was supposed to be at the river, wasn't there.

"Hurry! Bring the plug in here. The river water is getting cold as autumn approaches! Don't get chilled."

Someone immediately spoke up.

Someone immediately shouted to Quanzi, who was still searching in the river, telling him to come up because they had found someone.

At this time, several young intellectuals also squeezed into the crowd. After seeing him unharmed, with a look of inexplicable ripples on his face, they also said in surprise:

"Wu Tongxue, are you alright!"

“I'm fine, I was just washing clothes by the river. Then I had to go, so I went into the woods for a moment. When I came back, I saw a crowd of people gathered here, saying I had fallen into the river and Brother Chuan was rescuing me! They said it was Pan Nuannuan who saw me fall in. What does that mean Where is she”

Liàn Yī said with displeasure.

Now everyone was a little puzzled. Looking at Wu Zhiqing in front of them, he didn't seem like someone who had fallen into the river at all.

At this moment, Zhao Shuanzi also climbed ashore. Looking at Wu Lianyi, who was dressed in a complete set of army green uniform and unharmed, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

But being caught off guard by the ripples, she raised her voice and asked:

Who among you saw Pan Nuannuan How come she speaks nonsense and deceives everyone

We just heard you fell into the river and rushed over, didn't notice her.

A young woman with a short, bob haircut frowned.

"Yes! She ran into the yard and said you fell into the river, so she told us to come quickly!"

The middle-aged old intellectual at the head frowned and spoke.

"You kids, can you just joke about anything This Songflower River is deep! Don't even talk about people falling in, even those who try to save them are in danger. There are a lot of undercurrents in that river."

A wizened old man said with displeasure.

"Grandpa, I'm innocent! I didn't fall into the river!"

Ripple's voice choked with emotion, her eyes welling up.

Everyone else chimed in as well.

"Well, it's not Wu Zhiqing's fault. Why don't you ask Pan Zhiqing to get to the bottom of this"

At this time, Pan Nuannuan excitedly pulled Captain Zhao Fendou to the riverbank. Seeing a circle of people gathered there, she immediately excitedly squeezed in and shouted:

"Did the ripples save me Luckily, I ran into Zhuanzi Brother, who knows how to swim, halfway through."

Entering the crowd, Pan Nuannuan saw Wu Lianyi glaring at her. For a moment, she felt a pang of unease, then immediately exclaimed with surprise:

"Ripples, are you alright!"

"I'm doing great! And I didn't fall into the river either. You're making things up and tricking Zhao Gege into jumping into the river, what's your motive"

"How is that possible I clearly..."

Pan Nuannuan blurted out, only to immediately realize her mistake and quickly changed her words:

“I clearly saw you fall into the water! There was only you by the river at that time!”

A dangerous glint flashed in Ripples' eyes. It seems the original owner falling into the water wasn't an accident; Pan Nuannuan is the most suspect.

"It's true I was washing clothes alone, but I went to the restroom halfway through. When I came back, I heard people saying you were shouting that I had fallen into the river and alarmed everyone."

The ripples are closing in step by step.

But I clearly saw someone in army green.

"There were plenty of people wearing military green clothes, but everyone at the educated youth point was practically dressed head to toe in it! If I really fell into the river, would even my hair stay dry"

Pan Nuan warmed was a little speechless when asked, because Wu Lianyi across from her was completely dry, not like someone who had just fallen into the river at all.

"Well then, perhaps I was mistaken!"

"You might not be mistaken, but the one who fell in might not be me."

After the ripples forced Pan Nuannuan to admit that she was wrong, she immediately followed the other person's words.

That's possible too!

The middle-aged educated youth looked around at this moment, finding that all the educated youths in the point were present. He finally let out a sigh of relief; at least none of the educated youths in their point had met with misfortune.

"Captain Zhao, maybe we should try to find someone If someone really fell in the water, we can't just ignore it."

Captain Zhao, with a pipe clenched between his teeth, also noticed that all the people at the educated youth point were villagers. It was likely they were locals.

Everyone, go home and check on your families. If anyone is missing, let me know as soon as possible.

Only then did the crowd disperse, and Ripples found herself with half her clothes washed. She picked up the basin and cudgel and walked back with the young women who had come from the countryside.

Pan Nuannuan intentionally created distance between herself and the educated youths. Then, she winked at Zhao Zhuanzi, who noticed her signal but silently shook his head.

Liàn Yī intentionally brushed against the ponytail girl beside her, gesturing for her to look at the previous eyebrow-raising argument between Pān Nuǎn Nuǎn and Zhào Shuǎn Zǐ. The other girl looked as if she had suddenly understood.eceive fresh food every day and a hot soup to drink. We are very grateful for this."Ripple smiled and said."That's great! This is the hottest month of summer, not ideal for traveling. You can stay her...
