Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

The Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan wrote an essay titled "Notes on the Small Stone Pool".

The prose describes the Little Rock Pond like this: The bottom is made entirely of rocks, and near the shore, the rocks roll up from the bottom to form shoals, islands, reefs, and rocks…

The pond in Xiaoshitan Village is exactly the same as the pond described by Liu Zongyuan.

The pond is about several hundred square meters in size. The water is emerald green and when the breeze blows, countless ripples are created.

Such a beautiful scenery made this group of people from the city particularly excited.

They took off their clothes and jumped into the pool like dumplings, starting to play.

After Lu Juemin learned swimming skills through the system, he and Jia Dongxu established the rules for the swimming competition.

Very simple.

Enter the water at the same spot, then swim to the other side and back again.

Whoever reaches the starting point first wins.

There are no special requirements for swimming style or anything like that.

"Lu Juemin, wait for your death!"

Jia Dongxu took off his clothes aggressively and prepared to enter the water.

"Oh."

Lu Juemin responded perfunctorily and took off his clothes.

Following Zhou Hu's order, he and Jia Dongxu jumped into the water at the same time.

When the other workers saw that the fight between the two had begun, they immediately stopped playing in the water.

I concentrated on watching their game.

What you learn from books is always superficial. One must practice it personally to truly understand it, so Lu Juemin was a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

Swim very slowly.

And Jia Dongxu is indeed a capable person.

He has left Lu Juemin far behind.

But after Lu Juemin adapted a little, his speed increased.

Swimming is a sport.

It's not just about knowing how to use the movements better.

Physical strength cannot be bad either.

Lu Juemin's body has had its attributes enhanced by the system, so his physical strength is definitely not bad.

With strong physical support, Lu Juemin swam faster and faster.

In contrast, Jia Dongxu’s swimming skills are indeed good, but he has been spoiled by Jia Zhang since he was a child.

So slowly, his speed slowed down.

One step forward and one step back.

Lu Juemin has caught up with Jia Dongxu and even surpassed him.

Seeing this, other workers discussed:

"It's over! Jia Dongxu looks like he's going to lose!"

"No way, Jia Dongxu and I went to Beihai Park together, and he swam quite fast. Why can't he beat Lu Juemin?"

"Lu Juemin is really good! He learned locksmithing skills quickly and well, and he is also a great swimmer. He is really a hidden talent!"

"..."

When Zhou Hu saw this scene, his face turned red.

For him, losing money doesn't matter.

But he failed to defeat Lu Juemin.

He is really uncomfortable!

Just when the swimming competition between Lu Juemin and Jia Dongxu was in full swing, several figures appeared beside the pool.

It turned out that there were several women holding wooden basins filled with clothes.

It looked like they were planning to wash clothes in this pond.

This group of women includes both old and young.

The old man didn't react much when he saw these dozen shirtless young men.

But after seeing this, the young girls all lowered their heads unconsciously.

This era was still a relatively feudal era.

Unmarried little girls are naturally shy to see such scenes.

And Qin Huairu was among them.

Originally, she kept her head down like other girls.

However, he saw Lu Juemin out of the corner of his eye.

Looking at Lu Juemin's figure in the water, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After seeing it, she even muttered in her heart: "What a great figure..."

now.

The swimming competition between Lu Juemin and Jia Dongxu has entered the final sprint stage.

Jia Dongxu looked at Lu Juemin in front of him, and he stepped on the accelerator to catch up.

He didn't want to lose again! Especially to Lu Juemin.

But the reality is... no matter how hard he tried to catch up, he was still more than two body lengths away from Lu Juemin.

"Jia Dongxu, why are you so useless? Try harder!"

He roared inwardly, using up all the remaining strength in his body.

He wants to catch up! He wants to catch up!

But the consequence of doing so was that he became weak.

After losing his strength, his body sank uncontrollably.

But it's okay.

The place where he became exhausted was not far from the shore, and his co-workers on the shore discovered his condition.

"Oh no! Jia Dongxu is exhausted! Go save him!"

With the concerted efforts of other workers, they successfully rescued Jia Dongxu who was drowning.

But Jia Dongxu has fallen into a coma at this moment, and his condition is very bad.

The women who were washing clothes also gathered around.

Looking at the unconscious Jia Dongxu, he showed a look of fear.

Lu Juemin has also come ashore at this moment.

He originally wanted to ignore it.

But considering that this happened during the competition with me, if Jia Dongxu died, it would be bad to hold myself jointly liable.

So he used his first aid skills to provide first aid to Jia Dongxu.

Qin Huairu stood in the crowd.

Looking at Lu Juemin giving first aid to Jia Dongxu, his heart was beating like a deer.

"He is handsome and kind-hearted. How can there be such a perfect man..."

After Lu Juemin's first aid, Jia Dongxu woke up, but perhaps because he had taken in too much water, his consciousness was still hazy.

So Lu Juemin said to Zhou Hu, "Zhou Hu, take Jia Dongxu to the village clinic for further treatment!"

"it is good!"

Human life is at stake, so Zhou Hu did not dare to be careless and quickly carried Jia Dongxu on his back and ran towards the village.

But after running a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Where is the health center?"

"I...I'll take you there!"

Qin Huairu stood out from the crowd.

Lu Juemin had just "showed" himself like this, so she also wanted to "show" herself.

Under Qin Huairu's leadership, Zhou Hu successfully sent Jia Dongxu to the village clinic.

The village clinic has limited facilities.

The local doctor could only do some simple examinations on Jia Dongxu.

After the examination, he said that the first aid was timely and Jia Dongxu would not be seriously injured and should be fine after a rest.

After hearing the news, Qin Huairu felt relieved and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Jia Dongxu reached out and grabbed her arm, and asked in a vague voice: "Girl... is it you... is it you who saved me..."

"what?"

Qin Huairu was so scared that she quickly broke free from Jia Dongxu's arms and explained, "Comrade, I didn't save you...it was...your co-worker who saved you..."

After explaining, Qin Huairu ran away in a panic.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu's back and was lost in thought for a moment...
