Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Someone Seeks Death
When she fell into the water, the original owner jumped in after her mother was drowned in the pond. She was lucky to float all the way here; it’s uncertain if the original owner’s mother was as fortunate.
Thinking about it, Gu Nian couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
If the original owner hadn’t died, Gu Nian wouldn’t have had the chance to come here. At that time, the original owner’s mother was put in a cage with stones tied to it, making any chance of survival almost impossible.
While she was thinking this, Gu Nian looked up and suddenly saw someone walking into the water.
At first, she thought they were going into the river to catch fish or collect snails.
But as the figure walked further and deeper into the water until half their body was submerged, she began to panic.
"Hey, don’t go any further, the water is deep ahead..." Gu Nian shouted, hurriedly chasing after.
However, the figure ahead seemed not to hear, continuing to walk deeper into the water.
"Hey, you, come back!"
Gu Nian shouted several times, and seeing that the person was not responding, she realized they were truly trying to end their life.
In a life-threatening situation like this, she didn’t dare to delay. It was too late to call for help, and in this emergency, she forgot about her own smaller body, stepping into the water in a rush to chase after them.
Fortunately, she had learned to swim in her past life, which came in handy at this moment.
After a bit of splashing, Gu Nian finally swam over to catch up with the person, carefully keeping them floating in front of her.
However, upon seeing who it was, she was truly shocked, "Pandi? How could it be you?"
Lin Pandi’s eyes were red and swollen, and her sun-darkened little face was noticeably swollen, with a few slap marks still visible.
Seeing Gu Nian catching up, her emotions collapsed even further. Sniffling, she looked at Gu Nian, "It’s you. The water in the Great West River is very deep. You’re still young, go back to the shore, and don’t come to play here again."
"What about you? If you know the water is deep, what are you doing?" Gu Nian asked her.
Lin Pandi looked down to hide her face, her usually gentle demeanor now tinged with cold indifference, "Mind your own business. Whatever I want to do has nothing to do with you."
With that, Lin Pandi ignored her and continued to walk forward step by step.
Gu Nian couldn’t persuade her, so she had to hold onto her waist, "Pandi, it’s better to live miserably than die. Let’s go up and resolve this first, alright?"
"It’s not resolvable, let go!" Lin Pandi became suddenly agitated, prying Gu Nian’s hands off.
Caught off guard, Gu Nian was thrown into the water, swallowing several mouthfuls and struggling to stabilize her breath.
Lin Pandi was intent on dying, but seeing Gu Nian struggling for air, she quickly pulled her back up out of the water.
"Pandi, please help me back to the shore, I can’t reach the bottom!" Gu Nian pitifully pleaded.
Lin Pandi was almost brought to tears by her, having finally steeled herself to end her own life.
But now, she couldn’t even die.
She could mercilessly abandon Gu Nian, dragging her down to die together and meet King Yama.
But she had no grievance with Gu Nian, and her own brother had wronged her recently; she truly couldn’t bring herself to act against her conscience.
Under Gu Nian’s pitiful pleading, Lin Pandi had no choice but to think of taking her to the shore first, then finding a way to die herself, carrying her while crying and walking towards the shore.
