windy cold

Chapter 13

Lu Wanfeng jumped up, pushed aside the crowd and squeezed to the front, only to see that the poetic and picturesque boat changed its appearance, a few women dressed as maids knelt down on the side of the boat, and a figure fluttered in the water, it was the dusty The stunning Miss Meng Mei.

"Miss! Who will save my lady!"

The people on the shore looked at me and I looked at you, but they pushed each other and no one went into the water.

"You go, you go!"

"There are water ghosts at the bottom of this river! I don't dare to go down! You have to go yourself!"

"Who swore to marry Miss Meng's family into the house? Why didn't you save your future daughter-in-law when she fell into the river!"

"What's the point of marrying a daughter-in-law when my life is gone!"

……

"You're here to say that people have been rescued for a long time!" Lu Wanfeng couldn't bear to listen, put down the things in his hand, took off his shoes, and jumped into the river.

Growing up in the south of the Yangtze River, he was familiar with water, and he swam to the side of the painting boat within two strokes. Several maids were crying, and Meng Mei, who was still thumping just now, had disappeared.

He took a big breath, and dived into the water with the first plunge. The clear and calm Yanqing River looked turbid at this moment from the shore, and the sunlight outside was ruled by darkness before it penetrated too deep.

Reluctantly opening his eyes, he endured the unbearable discomfort in his eyes and continued to search. The visible area around him was very small. He took out the amethyst stone in his arms to illuminate it, and looked left and right, but there was no sign of Meng Mei.

Just as he was about to dive again, something suddenly bumped into his shoulder, and the amethyst fell out without warning, and fell straight to the bottom of the river.

"Well!"

He was eager to fish, but the stone fell quickly. Coincidentally, the falling stone illuminated the things along the way and helped him find someone.The comatose Meng Mei was stuck in a mass of darkness, motionless, her hands were still stretched upwards, and her whole body sank little by little, as if something was dragging her.

There was still enough air in his lungs, so he swam down quickly to pull Mengmei, trying to bring him to the surface of the water, but he always felt as if he was trying to pull out the rope while pulling, and he still stayed where he was after several pushes, and the deeper the water, the more people Feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, he soon felt short of breath, and if he couldn't float to the surface again, he might drown himself.

But it doesn't matter if it's not something Lu Wanfeng would do to leave a woman behind!

Biting his finger, he silently recited the immortal mantra and hit the black mist surrounding Meng Mei, feeling a slippery touch. In doubt, the resistance from underwater suddenly disappeared, and the huge water waves made his body sway from side to side, chest The little air left in the lungs was exhausted.

He felt his mind go blank, as if someone had grabbed his hand before losing consciousness.

……

"Idiot, why don't you come down and play together?"

"..."

"Oh, it's so cool and comfortable. It's so hot, why don't you play here and sleep here at night."

"..."

"Really not coming down? I said you kids from rich families don't play in water? How boring!"

"……me!"

"It's coming down now. There's nothing to be afraid of. The shore is shallow... Hey, don't you know how to swim? It's okay, I'll teach you! Come on, take off your clothes first..."

"Don't, don't take my clothes off!"

"We're all men, what's there to be ashamed of! Hold on to me, don't be afraid..."

"Cough cough! Cough cough..."

Lu Wanfeng coughed violently, his trachea and esophagus were stinging from the choking water, and even coughed up water from his nose. After struggling for a while, he finally recovered. He squinted his fiery eyes, and found a white figure in front of him.

"I...cough cough!" As soon as he uttered a sound, he couldn't stop coughing again, his chest was throbbing with pain, he put a pair of big hands on his chest, giving him air over and over again, the palms left a scorching temperature through his clothes, Gradually take away the discomfort.

After sitting up, he finally saw who the person next to him was, it was Qin Chuhan.

He was dumb: "Qin Daoist..."

Qin Chuhan interrupted: "Don't talk yet, you're choking on the water, don't hurt your throat."

What's going on, isn't he still dragging Miss Meng's family in the river?Then it seems to be out of breath...

He looked left and right, and it turned out that he was still by the Yanqing River, and there were many people around, chattering and talking, with very strange expressions. Seeing that he had woken up, the people dispersed one by one.

After soaking in the water on his clothes, he wrote on the ground with his fingers: "You saved me?"

Qin Chuhan replied, "Yes."

"Where's Miss Meng's?"

"They were rescued together, the Meng family had already carried him away just now."

It turned out to be the case.

The painted boats on the river left, and the market on the river bank resumed its bustle before the accident, but from time to time, some people secretly glanced at this place, with some curiosity.

"Thank you, Daoist, I have to go back to the inn and change my clothes." Lu Wanfeng stood up, breathing a little unevenly, Qin Chuhan put a hand in front of him, and he knew that he was asking himself to walk with his hands.

After a little thought struggle, he put his hand on it and expressed his thanks with a slight smile.

But at this moment, a completely different situation was in his mind, and he was yelling frantically: Why didn't he hold me by the waist, or simply hug me around the waist?What is the posture of the empress dowager!

Maintaining such a strange posture, the two returned to the inn. Before entering the door, Lu Wanfeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Daoist. I will stay here. You can send it here."

"...Sir, it's good to rest." Qin Chuhan nodded, turned and left.

Lu Wanfeng quickly closed the door, gasped for breath, and forgot about the attitude he had put on for a long time, thinking in a panic: Why is he here!What to do now, to run or not to run; after a while he thought, maybe he just happened to be here, might he be too sensitive?

There was a knock on the door.Before he came up, he asked Xiao Er to boil him bath water. Xiao Er was surprised to see that he was wet, so he hurriedly went to the back kitchen to order, and soon hot water was brought up.

Xiao Er peeked at him while storing water, and said falteringly: "Sir, are you okay?"

He shook his head, absent-mindedly said: "I choked on some water, it's nothing serious."

Xiaoer let out an "ah" and said in surprise, "I heard that Miss Meng's family fell into the water just now and was rescued by a scholar. Guest officer, could it be you?"

Lu Wanfeng's body was still wet, and he lacked interest: "It's just saving people, whoever he is."

Xiaoer understood: "The guest officer doesn't know. Our Yanqing River has been haunted by water ghosts this month, so the newcomers don't know. It's better if you don't go into the water. Nothing in the water will float."

"What you said, why do the boats on the water float so well?"

Xiao Er also didn't understand: "I only sink some living things, even the floating algae and willow branches. Some boatmen cast a net to fish them, but they didn't find anything. Everyone said that it was the water ghost looking for a dead ghost."

The water was full, Lu Wanfeng rewarded Xiaoer with a piece of silver, and after sending him away, he changed into his soaked clothes, leaned against the wooden barrel and sighed comfortably, the coolness brought from the bottom of the Yanqing River finally Being driven away, warmth permeated his whole body.

Closing his eyes, he began to recall the details of the Yanqing River.

There are water ghosts at the bottom of the river. This is what the onlookers said before they went into the water. At that time, he only thought about saving people, and he didn't think too much about it. The drowning person will indeed sink at the beginning, but when he went to pull it, it was very clear. He felt the resistance from the darkness below, so that he accidentally ran out of oxygen and couldn't pull people up.

The amethyst fell until it couldn't see the light, not to mention how far it fell and how deep the water was, but it couldn't be so close that the water plants entangled its feet.It was only a temporary reaction when he bit his finger. Assuming there was indeed a water ghost, the blood would be instantly diluted in the water and would not be effective at all. Moreover, the black mist was tactile, slippery and greasy.

Moreover, the amethyst stone was dropped because he was hit by something, so the person who hit him must not be a ghost, at least it was a living and solid person or animal.

Could it be a water monkey?

No, no, the water monkey is said to have hair all over its body, and he can feel the black shadow slippery. It feels more comfortable than human skin, it shouldn't be.It is also said that the water monkey is transformed from a drowned person, but the ghost itself does not have a body, so it is still a ghost no matter how it changes.

So is this a human or a ghost?

He let out a long breath, thinking that there are so many strange things in this river...

The heat was steaming, he felt drowsy in a daze, fell into a dream, felt a pair of big hands lingering on his chest, with some calluses, and the slight rubbing left hot marks, as if the pot had exploded, attracting every inch of his chest. Textures are clamoring for more.

"So hot……"

The scene suddenly changed sharply, and the hot palm suddenly turned into an extremely cold ice stone. He was caught off guard and was shocked by the ice.

The sudden movement of sitting up caused a splash of water in the bucket, splashing high, and droplets of water hit his chest, bringing a burst of coolness.

It turned out that the water was cold.

He even dreamed of Qin Chuhan's hand just now... He was still a little short of breath, his heart was beating fast, he got up and stepped out of the barrel, and casually put on a coat.

His face was very hot, and he felt that his face was very uncomfortable. Maybe he was stuffy after soaking for too long. He reached out to take off the mask, but when he just touched it, he felt something was wrong. When he touched it carefully, he couldn't help but Frightened.

The mask, deformed!
