From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket Chapter 15: A Frightening Scene

Jiang Xin composed herself, extracting herself from the emotions of resistance.

She collected all her bad emotions and put them away.

Standing on the opposite bank of Longxi Village, she looked in the direction of the village.

She thought for a mont, and took out two packs of peach crisps and a piece of pork belly, about two jin in weight, from her space.

After all, when she left ho today, Fu Yu’s parents knew about it.

If she went back later, and they asked why she was in town for so long.

If she had sothing in her hands, she could make an excuse to placate them.

She would just say that because she received money from ho, she went to town to buy so food.

Even if they were unhappy about her late return, they wouldn’t say much.

Jiang Xin planned to give Fu Yu’s parents so peach crisps when she got ho as compensation for the lodging these days.

As for why there were so many foods a hundred tis better than peach crisps in her space, yet she took out only the most ordinary peach crisps.

It’s simply because nowadays, in the Departnt Store, the most common things are peach crisps.

If she took out sothing else unusual and fresh, she wouldn’t be able to explain it.

Jiang Xin glanced at the peach crisps in her hand and suddenly felt that just carrying these few items seed a bit stingy.

So, she took out a bag of apples from her space.

She planned to give them along with the peach crisps to Fu Yu’s parents when she got back.

The quantity of these items was not small and could last Fu Yu’s parents for a while.

After preparing the items, Jiang Xin carried the peach crisps and apples, ready to cross the bridge.

Unexpectedly, as she was about to reach the bridge, she vaguely sensed a dark shadow not far away.

Because it was too dark, even with Jiang Xin’s good eyesight, she couldn’t clearly see what it was.

A hint of caution rose in her heart.

Jiang Xin stared at the dark shadow, silently putting away the items in her hand back into her space.

Then, she quickly took out a sharp knife for self-defense from her space.

In a strange environnt, one tends to beco very cautious.

Especially in this pitch-darkness, Jiang Xin couldn’t distinguish if the figure was friend or foe.

For her safety, she chose to be cautious.

Jiang Xin thought, if it turned out to be so wild beast, she would slay it swiftly and, if edible, store it in her space.

Her space was like a natural freezer.

Any ingredient put inside would not spoil, even after eight hundred years.

If it was a person, she would beat them half to death, to teach them that scaring people in the dark cos with consequences!

Before she could take action.

The dark shadow not far away suddenly plunged into the river with a splash.

Jiang Xin’s mind went blank for a mont before realizing.

It was neither a fierce beast nor an ambush.

Clearly, soone frustrated decided to jump into the river.

Without further ado, Jiang Xin casually tossed aside the knife originally ant for self-defense.

And prepared to go forward and save the person.

It was so distance from the village.

If she went to call for help now.

By the ti soone ca, the person who just jumped might already be gone.

Jiang Xin knew how to swim, so in such a critical mont, while ensuring her own safety.

She decided to rescue the person herself.

Luckily, she wasn’t too panicked.

After all, she had seen many big scenes in her previous life.

At this mont, her mindset remained relatively calm.

This person purposely chose a ti when it was dark to jump into the river.

Eighty percent, with a determination to die.

Hoping for self-rescue after jumping into the river was zero.

So, Jiang Xin swiftly.

Plunged into the small river.

The river wasn’t very deep, at most about 1.8 ters deep.

So once Jiang Xin jumped in, she easily grabbed the person wanting to end it all by jumping into the river.

Jiang Xin crudely grabbed the collar of the person.

Judging by the physique, it seed like a young man.

One couldn’t understand why, at such a young age, he would seek death.

The person obviously did not want to be rescued.

When Jiang Xin grabbed the collar, the man struggled violently.

"Don’t save , let die, let die!"

His voice was terribly hoarse, clearly indicating he had been through sothing.

Jiang Xin found it sowhat strenuous to haul the man up.

She feared that if she ran out of strength, she wouldn’t save anyone, and might end up in trouble herself.

The man didn’t cooperate with her rescue.

This struggle was depleting her strength.

Jiang Xin thought for a mont, deciding to persuade him:

"Brother, whatever the issue, don’t think about it too much."

"Life is long, and there’s no problem that can’t be solved."

"Sotis you think there’s a mountain ahead; perhaps one day that mountain will collapse on its own."

"Only by living can there be hope! Aren’t there people in this world you care about?"

Jiang Xin earnestly persuaded, hoping that after hearing her words, the person would cooperate.

Even though it was June, with relatively high temperatures.

But the river water was dirty, slly, and cold; she really didn’t want to stay in it any longer.

Sure enough, maybe her words had so effect, the man’s struggle visibly weakened after listening to her.

Seeing this, Jiang Xin seized the opportunity to grab his hands and dragged him ashore.

The man hadn’t struggled long in the river, so he was not in serious trouble, his consciousness remained clear.

After being rescued by Jiang Xin, he just lay motionless on the ground.

Leaving people puzzled.

Jiang Xin initially wanted to leave, but seeing the man’s state, she beca worried.

She feared that after she left, the man would attempt to jump again.

In the dead of night, a life matters after all.

Jiang Xin thought for a mont, then decided to sit beside the man to talk, considering it as a kind of guidance.

At first, the man ignored Jiang Xin entirely, for every ten sentences she said, he didn’t reply once.

Later, after Jiang Xin talked for a while, perhaps annoyed by her chatter, he finally started responding.

Though each reply was brief.

After a round of conversation.

Jiang Xin finally learned about the man’s family situation.

An elderly parent, a young child, and a father who died early, leaving the mother to raise him alone.

Earlier this year, his elderly mother was diagnosed with a serious illness, emptying the family savings for treatnt.
