C16 Go to Hell
Thinking of this, Lee Qingzi suddenly had an evil thought. He crept up behind Zhang Chunxiao and pushed her into the pond while she was unprepared.
Zhang Chunxiao had been looking at the lime in the pond when she suddenly felt a powerful force on her back before she could see it clearly. She didn't have time to react before she was pushed into the pond.
"Go to hell!" The last thing Zhang Chunxiao remembered after entering the pond was Lee Qingzi's cold and malicious voice. He raised his head and watched Zhang Chunxiao bury herself in the lime pond. She flicked away the lime stuck to her body in disgust and walked away without looking back.
Luckily, Zhang Chunxiao was pushed into the lime pool. Only then did she completely understand that there was only quicklime inside. She did avoid the misfortune of being burned to death, but staying here wasn't easy either. The lime pond was deeper than she had expected, almost reaching her waist. The lime inside was also very sticky, like a sticky and dense barrier that froze her in the middle. She could barely move.
Zhang Chunxiao's mouth and nose were almost blocked by the quicksand and she almost suffocated in this pool. Luckily she found her balance in time to stand up, otherwise she might really die in the pool.
But now, with her own strength, it was difficult for her to climb out. She thought of many ways, and even though she used all her strength, she was still unable to climb out of the lime pool. On the contrary, she was out of breath after not moving for a few times. Her hands and feet were sore and soft. She could only lean against the side of the pool to rest.
Damn it, she had to put weight loss on the agenda. With such a huge body, not only was it not warm, it was also extremely heavy. Every two steps he took would result in him gasping for breath.
She was thinking about how she was going to get out when she heard someone ask hesitantly, "Do you need any help?"
Who could be here in this wilderness where there was no one around? She looked up to see an eight foot tall man standing at the edge of the pool, looking down at her from above. His face was cold, but his eyes weren't unfriendly. Instead, he was asking her politely and worriedly.
This man... Zhang Chunxiao searched through her memories for a long time, but could not find any information about him. The person in front of him was just an ordinary country bumpkin. He was dressed in a brown sackcloth and had a pair of feet that were about to emerge from his new straw sandals. There was still mud on them, so he must have just returned from the fields. He was a burly man, and the muscles in his chest and arms showed that he was a man of immense strength. His face was not particularly handsome, but somehow it looked pretty good, and he wanted to make people look at it a little more.
Seeing that she did not react for a long time, the man frowned his thick and thick eyebrows. There were two thin lines on his forehead, as if he had carved a knife into his forehead over time. "So, do you need help or not?"
"Yes, yes." Zhang Chunxiao looked as if she had awoken from a dream as she giggled at the man. The man's frown deepened. He looked at the situation she was in and extended his hand towards her.
Zhang Chunxiao immediately grabbed the hand. She could feel that the moment she touched the hand, she was suddenly gripped tightly. Then the hand seemed to inject a force into her, pulling her out of the lime pool without any hesitation or pause.
The veins on that person's hand bulged, appearing very conspicuous on his entire arm. She heaved a sigh of relief. The lower half of her body was completely white with a thick layer of powder hanging from it.
She found a piece of wood and hung up the powder that she had scraped off her body. Then, she threw it into the bamboo basket behind her back. There was certainly not enough lime, and she turned away, trying to dig out more of it.
"What are you doing? Do you still want to fall? I won't pull you a second time. " That person couldn't help but ask in confusion when he saw her stick out her body as if she was going to fish for something.
This girl was too heavy. He had used all his strength to pull her up just now. He knew he had to pull her up once, or it would be even more troublesome if he lost his strength and her grip on the plaster tightened.
However, this girl didn't want to learn her lesson, and instead wanted to dig deeper into the quagmire. If she were to fall down again, he wouldn't have the strength to pull her out.
"I need some lime, so there's nothing I can do." Zhang Chunxiao spoke without turning her head to look at his expression.
If she had, she would have regretted answering him. The man was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have realized something. A rare smile appeared on his face as he said to the man, "You're in danger like this. What if you fall down again?"
"I wasn't that stupid myself, so I fell. "Don't worry, I can do it. Thank you for what you did just now. I'll repay you another day." Zhang Chunxiao didn't seem to realize what she had said. She just focused on reaching for the lime in the pool.
"Let me do it. As much as you need, I'll help you." That person walked up to Zhang Chunxiao and took off the bamboo basket on her back. Before Zhang Chunxiao could stop him, he had already grabbed a piece and put it into the bamboo basket.
She looked at the man, and the anger rose in her heart. In her previous life, the thing that she hated the most was being looked down upon by others and being seen as being inferior to a man. She had grinded her teeth and tempered herself for such a long time. She had endured so many hardships, it was as if she had been quenched after seven to eight hundred rounds of forging. Her strength and perseverance were praised unanimously by everyone in the organization.
But now, not only did she have to be brilliant and resourceful, she had also become a person who knew almost nothing, requiring others to lend a helping hand in order to achieve her goals. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became and the more stubborn she became.
"It's done!" She glanced at the bamboo basket. In just a moment, she had already filled most of the basket. she shouted. That person seemed to be frightened by her reaction and quickly retracted his hand, wiping away the white stuff on his finger. At the same time, he seemed to not dare to believe that she would do such a thing.
She stepped forward and snatched the bamboo basket away from him, then carried it on her back as she quickly left.
"Why are you being so fierce? I helped you out of good intentions, how can you be so angry? " Zhang Chunxiao had only taken a few steps when she heard his slightly smiling voice sound out behind her. It sounded like he was complaining in grievance, but the mockery in his words was too obvious.
Zhang Chunxiao only felt as if she had been humiliated. She didn't care what he said at all as she walked quickly into the forest.
Although this person was quite capable, Zhang Chunxiao somehow didn't like him.
