《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 3: Saving A Person

"That's right. Look at her. It's really scary that she's still alive, but it will be even more frightening if she dies and becomes a ghost!"
"Keep your voice down, don't let others hear you."
Lin Xiaoye heard a lot more of these "good" words on her way, but she didn't have to deal with them now. It's important to find some valuable things first. Otherwise, she won't be able to survive. So what if they were gossiping about her?
"Somebody help! Someone fell into the water."
A shout came from not too far away just as she was still thinking.
Suddenly, a lot of people ran to the river. Everyone was in a hurry, which made Lin Xiaoye nervous.
She heard the people beside her talking.
"Hey, someone seems to have fallen into the river. Let's go and have a look."
"Yeah. Isn't that Old Hu's son? He's still young, but might be dying."
"Let's take a look!"
“……”
As she listened to the people around her talking, the situation became more and more serious.
Lin Xiaoye stretched her neck to look at the front and saw the crowd of people standing there. She didn't know what was going on inside.
Lin Xiaoye didn't like to join in the fun, especially with her current situation. It's best not to go to such crowded places, so she wouldn't run into all sorts of trouble.
However, the benevolence of a doctor was engraved deep in her bones and it forced her to walk step by step towards the crowd.
Before she could get close, she heard a cry, "Son! You, don't...don't scare your Mother!"
She saw a woman holding a wet child in her arms, crying until her voice trembled.
"Old Hu's wife is really pitiful. How did this child fall into the river?"
"Quickly find a doctor and see if he can be saved."
At this moment, a man came out from the crowd with a basket on his back. He shook his head and sighed.

"He's been in the water for too long."
The woman immediately sobbed, "My son! Why do you have such a bitter life? My son…"
Lin Xiaoye looked at the doctor. It was a middle-aged uncle.
Is the child really hopeless?
She shot a glance at the child and her heart tightened as she immediately rushed over.
"Put the child down and lay him flat on the ground."
Everyone was stunned when Lin Xiaoye suddenly rushed out.
Old Hu's wife pointed a finger at her.
"Scram! Isn't this all your fault? When you jumped into the river two days ago and came back to life. You must have brought all the demons and ghosts into the river and now you have harmed my son…"
"If you don't want your son to die, then do as I say!" Lin Xiaoye quickly put the child on the ground.
Hearing this, Old Hu's wife heart was also at a loss.
"My son can still be saved?"
"Try it and you'll know."
Lin Xiaoye put her hands on the child's chest and pressed down several times. Just as she was about to do artificial respiration, she suddenly remembered that this was ancient times.
"Come here and blow into his mouth."
Old Hu's wife was taken aback for a moment, completely ignorant of what Lin Xiaoye was talking about. However, seeing her actions just now, the woman still did as she said.
Lin Xiaoye gave the child chest compressions while Old Hu's wife gave him artificial respiration. After a good while, the child finally woke up.
"Cough, cough, Mother…"
"Aiya, you woke up. My son woke up!"
Old Hu's wife held the child in her arms, kissed and hugged him before crying again.
Immediately, everyone looked at Xiaoye in surprise.
"When did Old Huo's wife become so powerful? She actually knows medical skills?"
"That's right, Old Huo's wife, where did you learn this skill? Just now, the doctor said that there's no hope. How can you bring the child back to life?" One of the aunts in the crowd asked.

Lin Xiaoye was stunned.
Damn it, I almost forgot that the original owner knew nothing.
She immediately grinned: "This isn't really a skill, it's just something I accidentally saw others do in the past. I just tried it. Wasn't it Hu Sister-in-Law, who saved the child?
Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised.
"Oh, Old Huo's wife. Why are you different today?"
"That's right, she knows medical skills and can even speak so well. Could it be that jumping into the water made her head clear?"
Immediately, everyone laughed.
"Humph, what ability can an ugly monster who has committed evil things have?"
A bitter voice came from the crowd.
This woman was the doctor's wife from before. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest and a basket on her back. Her phoenix-like eyes glanced sideways at Lin Xiaoye filled with ridicule and disdain.
Lin Xiaoye was stunned.
An ugly monster who committed evil things?
She's not that much any better, okay?
First of all, she had just arrived and didn't have a clear understanding of the situation. However, Lin Xiaoye didn't plan to argue with her. The things the original owner left for her were probably more than enough for her to digest for a while. Moreover, she needed to hurry up and find something to make money.
"Aunt is right. Even I, an ugly monster, can only do some things to save the drowned child. I can't do anything else."
After speaking, Lin Xiaoye immediately grinned and turned to leave. However, she didn't know that Huo Li had witnessed this scene.
However, Doctor Sun's wife was angered to death by her words.
Doctor Sun's wife immediately clenched her hands into fists. She squinted at Lin Xiaoye and gritted her teeth.
"Isn't she just a shrew? She's still pretending to be upright? Bitch!"
"Alright, let's go back." Doctor Sun stepped forward and persuaded her.
"Why are you not going home and what are you still standing here for? You can't even save a child yet you still call yourself a doctor. Go back and feed the pigs!"
Lin Xiaoye carried the basin all the way to the river. When the aunts, who were washing clothes by the river saw her go over, they immediately looked at each other and headed off to the side.
All of a sudden, there was no one in a large area around Lin Xiaoye.
On the other hand, she was quite open-minded. Her place was so wide that it save her a lot of effort washing her clothes.
Speaking of which, the original owner had indeed left her with a lot of trouble. With her past personality, she might have a lot of enemies in the village.
It seemed that she had to figure out how to stay in the village.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Lin Xiaoye's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, fish. There's fish!"
She immediately took off her socks and shoes before going down to the river.
However, she didn't expect that the surrounding women would all immediately point fingers at her. At first, Lin Xiaoye didn't pay much attention to it and she just focused on the fish, until the voices grew louder and louder.
"This is truly disobeying the rules of a woman. She actually walked barefooted on the river."
"That's right. Why do you think Old Huo would fall for such an ugly monster?"
"Isn't that making trouble without earning money?"
"She still wants to curry favor with Old Lai's son? She must be dreaming!"
Hearing these words, Lin Xiaoye was stunned.
Old Lai's son? The man the original owner had always liked?
A voice came from not too far away, pulling Lin Xiaoye away from her thoughts.
"Lin Xiaoye, why are you still here? Didn't you say that you would get me some pheasant meat?"

Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out!
