Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 590

Chapter 590: 167: Familiar feeling, taking Shangguan Dehui home (17 updates)_1

Shangguan Dehui hadn’t expected to meet a familiar face deep in these old mountains.

Even more unexpected was that it was Ni Cuihua, someone he had met twice before.

Ni Cuihua immediately put down her back basket, crouching on the ground. She gripped the wild grass near the edge of the trap tightly with one hand, and reached into the trap with the other, “Mr. Shangguan, quick, grab my hand. I’ll pull you up.”

Shangguan Dehui reached out and even stood on his tiptoes, but they fell short of a few centimetres.

He tried jumping, yet still couldn’t reach Ni Cuihua’s hand.

At this time, Ni Cuihua continued, “Mr. Shangguan, please wait a moment. I will go find a sturdier stick to help you.”

The long stick she had been using to part the wild grass was too thin to support the weight of an adult.

There were many large pine trees in the mountains, but few branches that could be used as sticks. Ni Cuihua also didn’t have an axe or similar tool at hand, making it impossible to cut a wooden stick.

Helplessly, Ni Cuihua could only move a large rock over, “Mr. Shangguan, please move aside. I will throw this rock down so you can step on it and grab my hand.”

Shangguan Dehui nodded, “Alright, thank you for your trouble.”

Ni Cuihua rolled the large rock down alongside the pit wall. This time, when Shangguan Dehui stepped on the rock, he was indeed able to easily grab Ni Cuihua’s hand.

Their hands gripped tightly.

Ni Cuihua’s hand was not like those of ordinary farm women. It wasn’t rough, nor did it have thick callouses. It was unusually soft in his grip, leaving Shangguan Dehui momentarily dazed.

The reason Ni Cuihua’s hands were so well-maintained was largely thanks to Ni Yang’s skin care products, along with the effects of a proper diet.

All those beauty and health foods she ate daily weren’t for nothing.

“Mr. Shangguan, hold on, I am going to pull you up.”

“Alright.” Shangguan Dehui clenched Ni Cuihua’s hand.

Shangguan Dehui was an adult male with a height of 1.85 meters. The trap was also wet and slippery due to the recent rain. Even with great strength, there was no way Ni Cuihua could pull him out at once.

At this moment, the wild grass that Ni Cuihua was clutching suddenly snapped!

“Bang!”

Shangguan Dehui didn’t have time to react, and Ni Cuihua was brought down by a sudden force.

Both of them fell to the ground.

To be precise, Shangguan Dehui fell onto the ground, and Ni Cuihua was on top of him.

They looked at each other like that, as if time stood still at that moment.

Although Ni Cuihua was already thirty-seven, there was no trace of the years on her face.

Her demeanor was composed and graceful.

Through the tumult, it seemed he saw a familiar sight long absent in her eyes.

Where had they met before?

Shangguan Dehui narrowed his eyes.

Ever since she left Dam Village, this was the first time Ni Cuihua had been this close to a man. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably. It took her some time to collect herself, to get off Shangguan Dehui and ask, “Mr. Shangguan, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, how about you?” Shangguan Dehui also collected himself at this moment.

“I’m okay too,” Ni Cuihua stood up, looking up at the ground, “Now what? How are we going to get back up?”

“Don’t rush. We’ll find a way.” Shangguan Dehui reassured her.

Just then, Shangguan Dehui found a length of vine. It must have been carried down unintentionally when Ni Cuihua fell.

The vine was about as thick as a little finger. Shangguan Dehui gave it a tug and found it to be sturdy.

“I’ll try climbing up first. If I make it, I’ll pull you up.” Shangguan Dehui looked at Ni Cuihua.

“Alright.” Ni Cuihua nodded.

Shangguan Dehui gripped the vine, gritting his teeth against the pain in his ankle, and managed to climb up in a few movements.

Ni Cuihua also quickly started climbing the vine.

“Comrade, give me your hand!” Shangguan Dehui reached out to Ni Cuihua.

Men are generally stronger than women. Shangguan Dehui easily pulled Ni Cuihua up.

“Oh my! We finally made it up!” Ni Cuihua let out a long breath of relief.

“Comrade, thank you so much for today.” Shangguan Dehui thanked Ni Cuihua.
