I never thought that because of a righteous and courageous act, I became a "hooligan" in the eyes of the whole village.
That day, I was walking on the ridge when I suddenly heard a young woman's cry for help.
"Help, help!"
I looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw a woman in the river struggling to call for help.
My heart tightened, and I pulled my legs and ran to the river.
I rushed to the river, and then I saw that the person in the water was Xiaocui, the village flower of our village.
I saw Xiaocui struggling in the water, and she was about to sink.
I gritted my teeth, didn't bother to take off my clothes, and plunged into the river.
A biting chill instantly enveloped my body, and the rushing water pushed me.
I struggled to keep my eyes open and concentrate on finding Cui's figure.
Finally, a few meters underwater, I saw the corners of her clothes floating slightly.
The situation was too critical for me to think about it, so I swam to her.
The river seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every inch I moved forward, I had to put in a huge effort.
The water kept pounding against my body, knocking me over several times.
Finally, my hand touched Cui's clothes.
I grabbed her and pulled her towards me, but the rushing water seemed to rob me, and Cui's body slipped out of my hands again and again.
Her clothes were entangled in weeds, and I tore her clothes apart in a fit of urgency.
With all my strength, I hugged Xiaocui tightly in my arms, wrapped one hand around her waist, and paddled desperately to the shore with the other.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, maybe half a century, and I finally felt the soles of my feet touch the riverbed.
With the last of my strength, I waded through the waist-deep river and carried Xiaocui to the shore.
I also climbed ashore and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
I turned my head to look at Cui, who was still unconscious, her face as pale as paper.
I scrambled to my feet, laid her flat on the ground, and was about to give her artificial respiration when I heard the shouts of the villagers behind me.
They came from a distance, only to see the unclothed Xiaocui and the embarrassed me, and they all showed expressions of surprise and disdain.
Someone even asked loudly: "Ah Mu, what did you do to Xiaocui?!"
I stammered and tried to explain, but I found that I didn't know how to speak.
Only then did I realize how easy it would be to misunderstand the series of actions just now.
I trembled and stretched out my hand, trying to put my coat on Xiao Cui, but I was pushed away fiercely.
At this moment, Xiao Cui woke up slowly, looked at me in confusion, looked around again, and her face instantly turned pale.
She struggled to sit up, wrapped herself tightly in her clothes, tears welling up in her eyes.
I looked at her at a loss, and I just felt extremely aggrieved.
I was obviously trying to save her, why did things turn out like this?
After I rescued Xiaocui, I was eager to explain what had happened to the villagers, but they didn't give me a chance to speak.
Questioning poured in on me, and some even threatened to tie me up and take me to the police station.
I was speechless for a moment, and looked blankly at Xiaocui, hoping that she would help me explain, but she just buried her head in sobs, ignoring my situation.
When I saw Xiaocui, I could only let the villagers escort me back to the village.
Walking down the road with my head down, I felt humiliated and helpless like never before.
I kept asking myself in my mind: What did I do wrong? Why should you be treated like this?
A few days later, the village party secretary came to me and said that Xiaocui's parents heard the gossip in the village and found him to tell him how to solve the matter.
The village chief said that he could let me marry Xiaocui as a wife to "be responsible for Xiaocui's reputation", and this time he came to discuss with me and see my opinion.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the news.
I repeatedly explained that I was innocent, but the branch secretary didn't listen at all, and just said coldly: "This is for the good of Xiaocui." Do you want her to be poked in the back without a name?"
I was speechless, knowing that I couldn't escape this marriage, and my only wish was that Xiaocui could understand my distress.
On the wedding night, I looked at Xiao Cui, who was like a puppet around me, and my heart was like a knife.
I mustered up the courage to explain to her what had happened, but Cui didn't want to talk to me at all, so she just turned her back and wept silently.
I sighed and left the room in silence.
After sitting alone in the courtyard all night, I thought to myself: Is it true that my kindness cannot be understood by her? Is this how our marriage begins and ends like this?
As the days passed, Xiaocui and I were strangers, and there were constant rumors in the village.
I was so disheartened that I even thought about leaving, but I couldn't bear to think of Xiaocui's situation.
In this way, Xiaocui and I lived in embarrassment and contradictions, until one day, an incident happened that made us have to face each other and our hearts......
On that day, I went to the mountains and forests outside the village to chop firewood as usual.
Just as I was working hard, a snake suddenly burst out of the grass and bit me hard. My eyes went black with pain, and I staggered and fell to the ground.
Resisting the excruciating pain, I dragged my heavy steps in the direction of home.
Blood oozed from the wound and ran down my leg, blurring my vision. Finally, on the way not far from home, I couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.
In a trance, I felt someone pick me up. In my chaotic consciousness, I heard Cui's voice.
She called my name anxiously, her tone full of concern. I wanted to respond, but I couldn't make a sound.
When I woke up again, I was already in my own bed. Xiaocui was standing by the bed, her face haggard, and when she saw me open her eyes, she rushed over and hugged me, crying silently.
Only then did I realize that it was Xiaocui who was taking care of me all these days.
From decoction to dressing change, from feeding to companionship, she takes care of everything in every detail.
A warm current welled up in my heart. I thought that Xiaocui hated me, but I didn't expect that she would have such affection for me.
I plucked up the courage to explain to Xiaocui again how I rescued her. This time, she didn't hide anymore, but listened to me quietly.
After listening, she burst into tears, saying that she had always understood that I was innocent, but she cared too much about the eyes of others and didn't dare to face her sincerity.
I hugged Emerald tightly, feeling her tremble in my arms. At that moment, the estrangement in our hearts came to naught, and some were just attachments and attachments to each other.
After experiencing the test of life and death, my relationship with Xiaocui became deeper and deeper.
This turmoil has made us see each other's hearts clearly and understand the value of mutual trust and reliance.
Just when my relationship with Xiaocui gradually stabilized, another accident happened in the village.
The wife of the village party secretary took her youngest son Ah Fu to wash clothes by the river, and Ah Fu fell into the water without paying attention.
But the mother of the village party secretary couldn't swim, so she threw down the clothes in her hand and anxiously called for help.
But it was noon, and there weren't many people in the village.
Ah Mu happened to come down from the mountain with Xiaocui to collect medicine and saw this scene.
Ah Mu immediately ran to the river, and jumped into the river without saying a word.
The wife of the village secretary on the shore was still crying loudly, and I sped up my swim.
When his hand touched Ah Fu's body, he immediately held him in his arms.
When he was about to reach the shore, he pushed Ah Fu to the shore.
I gasped for breath when the village party secretary also arrived with a group of people.
The wife of the village party secretary immediately checked on Ah Fu's situation, but fortunately she only choked on a little water, and it was fine.
Xiaocui hurriedly helped me up from the ground, and the village party secretary took my hand and said excitedly.
"Ah Mu, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise I really can't imagine what the consequences will be."
The villagers next to me also praised me, and people realized that they had misunderstood me.
"Ah Mu is righteous and brave, he is a good boy, we blame him!"
The villagers talked about it word by word, and they all agreed with the words of the village party secretary.
Someone proposed to report my deeds to the township, calling on everyone to learn from us.
Xiaocui and I glanced at each other, and we both read the surprise and emotion in each other's eyes.
It turns out that when the hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves.
As long as you stick to justice, you will eventually get good results.
A few months after the story took place, Tsui's life and I changed dramatically.
The township reported our deeds to the county, and the county leaders praised our righteous deeds and specially allocated funds to help us repair our houses and improve our living conditions.
The villagers also reached out to us, some helped us plough the fields, some helped us feed the livestock, and everyone cared about us as if they were relatives.
One evening, Xiaocui and I sat in the courtyard of our house to cool off.
Xiao Cui's belly has risen slightly, and I know that it is pregnant with the crystallization of our love.
I gently stroked Cui's belly, a happy smile on my face.
"Ah Mu, you say, will our children be as brave and kind as you?" Xiao Cui took my hand and asked softly.
"Silly girl, of course he will be as beautiful and intelligent as you." I shaved Cui's nose indulgently.
"However, no matter what he looks like in the future, we must be his strongest backing and let him bravely face life's challenges."
"Well, I believe that with a father like you and the love of our villagers, our children will be able to grow up healthy and happy." Xiao Cui smiled and snuggled in my arms.
I smiled and nodded, looking beyond the courtyard wall and into the fields in the distance.
The setting sun gilds the earth with a layer of gold, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene.
I know that Xiaocui and I have gone through the hardest part of our lives.
From now on, we will work together to build our dreams and embrace a new life.
Although it has not been smooth sailing along the way, it is precisely because we have always adhered to kindness and integrity that we have won the favor of God and the respect of the world.
This is the best look of love, I think, it not only makes people brave, but also makes people learn to be open and tolerant.
