He was so agitated that he didn’t even take off his clothes before jumping into the pond water, swimming towards her.

Su Qingyue saw him and was just as overjoyed, “Third Brother, you’re not dead!”

“If my wife isn’t dead, I definitely wouldn’t be either.”

Three black lines appeared on her forehead.

But he was so excited that he wrapped his arms around her in the water, and lowered his head to kiss her tender cherry lips.

.Co

She nearly suffocated as the air she had just inhaled was completely squeezed out of her.

The two embraced and kissed, not swimming, gradually sinking into the water.

She pushed against him with all her might, but he was unmoved, so she simply twisted his waist hard through his clothes.

The clothes were thick, so he didn’t feel much pain.

Xiao Yuchuan knew he was holding his breath too long and swam back to the surface of the pool with her in tow.

“Are you trying to get yourself killed!” she glared at him, “Take a few breaths quickly, the pond water has frozen over; if we don’t break through soon it’ll be too late.”

Only then did he notice the awl and hammer in her hand, “Wife, you actually came to save me even when it’s frozen over, you really are the dumbest wife in the world!”

“Damn it!

I save you and you call me dumb,” she was both angry and amused, “Hold your breath; we need to dive.” She handed him the hammer and awl, “This time, you take the lead.”

He didn’t take them, grinning, “Wife, you go first.

Your husband hasn’t eaten anything and doesn’t have the strength to break the ice.”

She should have complained about him making her take the lead.

But with her keen intelligence, how could she not understand?

In fact, he was worried that he might not make it through the narrow crack, and if he did not, he would block her way.

If she were behind, the narrow space could prevent her from getting out.

He was worried that she actually came to die with him.

Sigh.

Third Brother, what should she say about him?

“Follow me.” She said the two words, took a deep breath, and dived into the water, swimming towards the cave on the cliff about two meters deep.

He followed, swimming behind her.

The icy water filled the narrow cave where it was so dark that you couldn’t see your fingers; water and ice mixed, sometimes entirely ice, and he listened from behind to the sound of her hammering the ice.

As soon as the ice broke, more water rushed in to continue the melt, and his heart ached for her foolishness.

It was pitch black ahead.

Su Qingyue had already made her way to the last meter of the narrow crack in the cave.

Because she had widened it, she swam out with ease.

The people who had been chipping away at the cliff outside were no longer there.

After she emerged, Xiao Yuchuan swam sideways through the opening.

Even though the crack had been widened, it was still not wide enough; his head got somewhat stuck, Su Qingyue reached out from the outside, grasping his shoulders and pulling him out while he too struggled to squeeze through the crack, slightly stuck at one point.

Su Qingyue picked up the awl and aimed it at the bit of rock wall, hammering forcefully a few times until the rock fell away, and Xiao Yuchuan finally freed himself from the crack.

The ‘three fist-sized distance’ Zhou Fuquan referred to was not yet chiseled through, indicating that the one-meter length of the narrow crack still had about a thirty-percent section remaining.

It didn’t refer to the horizontal distance wide enough to pass a head through.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

He embraced her and they immediately swam up towards the lake surface.

The moment both emerged at the water’s surface.

They were alive and had left the pool at the bottom of the cliff behind.

In their eyes was either the chill of the lake water or the mist of joyous tears.

Breathing in the cold air above the water, even though Xiao Yuchuan choked on it and his body numb from the cold water felt no sensation, he still felt his heart was vibrantly alive.

On the shore, five men huddled around a fire roasting the meat.

Only Xiao Yishan stood tall and robust, anxiously staring straight at the lake surface.
