Scholar Li En followed Zha Tiankuo to escape from the reeds, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was indeed in a boat, but Zha Tiankuo turned into a woman in white, and the reeds behind him were on fire, and he couldn't help but worry about Zha Tiankuo.

As the boat sailed down the river and into the river, Li En looked at the woman in white who was in the same boat and asked, "Who is the girl?" How can you be here alone, is this ship yours? ”

The woman in white turned her head and said resentfully: "Chu Lang, what's wrong with you, I'm Shui Xiuxiu!" ”

Li En was startled, only to see that this woman had long hair covering her face, wearing a white long coat and trousers, and her bare hands did not have a trace of blood, I don't know if she is a human or a ghost? He hurriedly retreated, and the boat quickly sailed out of the reeds, and the woman whispered: "Chu Lang, don't be afraid, we fled outside, they can't find us." ”

The fire in the reeds behind him was getting bigger and bigger, and the firelight reflected the night sky red, Li En hurriedly turned around and shouted Zha Tiankuo's name, but as soon as he screamed, he was covered by a pair of miserable white hands, this woman who called herself Shui Xiuxiu covered his mouth, Li En was even more panicked and wanted to break free, the other party's long hair slid through his ears, itchy.

Shui Xiuxiu whispered in his ear: "Chu Lang, don't shout, otherwise you will attract my father and them." ”

The boat entered a wide river channel and continued to drift downstream, Li En broke free of the woman's hand with great force, and asked, "The girl recognized the wrong person, and her name was Li En." ”

Shui Xiuxiu let go of her hand, lifted the long hair that covered her face, revealing a face whiter than paper, her eyes were bloodshot, and there were blood stains flowing from the corners of her eyes, and she muttered to herself: "Chu Lang, don't be afraid, we are safe now, my father and they won't chase after me!" ”

Li Endeng was frightened and fainted, and Shui Xiuxiu continued to drive the boat down the river.

On the other side of the reed, Zha Tiankuo was also shouting Li En's name, but there was a fire behind him, he couldn't help but get anxious, and he was about to go back to find someone, but he also knew that once the reed was burning, coupled with the blowing of the night wind, it was difficult to extinguish the fire, so he hurriedly took out his pair of hooks and quickly cut down the unignited reeds, while continuing to shout Li En's name loudly.

Seeing this, the owner of the Ouyang boat hurriedly stopped the boat and ordered the boatman to fetch water to extinguish the fire, Zhan Kaijiao jumped into the reeds with Xue Tao's old talisman, followed the cut reeds, found Zha Tiankuo, and asked Li En's whereabouts.

After learning of the situation, the four of them put out the fire while looking for someone, but the fire in front of them was already burning their eyebrows, so Lao Fu said: "Let's quickly wet our clothes, the fire is so big, we will be engulfed by the fire if we don't get it right." ”

The four of them jumped into the mud and made themselves into mud figures, but many small boats also came, and a large group of natives joined them in putting out the fire.

The wild ducks that roost in the reeds flew into the sky with fire all over their bodies, but they still fell.

These natives held sickles in their hands, desperately cutting the reeds that had not yet ignited, Lao Fu and Zhan Kaijiao grabbed Xue Tao and Zha Tiankuo, the manpower was no longer able to control the fire, they retreated to a safe place, and sat down on the reeds in a decadent manner.

Lao Fu sighed and said, "Li Gongzi Fu has a great life, and he will definitely be able to escape death!" ”

Zha Tiankuo said full of self-reproach: "It's all my fault that I just ran for my life and lost Li Gongzi, if something really happened to him, how can we explain to Senior Gao and Mr. Gu?" ”

Zhan Kaijiao comforted him and said: "Maybe this is all fate, we have done our best!" ”

Xue Tao asked, "Why did Elder Shui bring Gongzi Li to this reed swing and then set it on fire?" Could it be that this is the Shui family's way of summoning spirits? ”

Cha Tian hurriedly corrected: "I used the concealment technique to lurk in the small boat of the Shui family, Li Gongzi was picked up by a canopy boat, I desperately swam to keep up with the canopy boat, but found that Li Gongzi was thrown from the awning boat, and thought that Li Gongzi escaped by himself, so I took him to hide in the reeds, but I still lost him in the reeds. ”

Xue Tao said affirmatively: "It must have been set on fire by the Shui family, the purpose is to burn Li Gongzi here!" ”

Zha Tiankuo asked, "Boss, what should we do next?" ”

Zhan Kaijiao said to Lao Fu: "Our brothers will go to visit the Shui family after dawn, and then ask them for someone, you and Ouyang Shipowner take the third child to Luoyang, and report this matter to the senior and Mr. Gu, no matter how powerful Elder Shui is in the rivers and lakes, he can't disregard people's lives!" ”

When Li En woke up, it was almost dawn, and he was still in shock, only to see the woman in white sitting beside him, continuing to rock the boat, and it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't tell where this was at all.

When Shui Xiuxiu saw him wake up, she said, "Chu Lang, you woke up, you said you were going to take me to the capital, let's go to the capital now, okay?" ”

Li En tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath and said, "Girl, you must have recognized the wrong person, I am Li En Li Gongzi, not surnamed Chu, nor your Chu Lang!" ”

Shui Xiuxiu said, "Chu Lang, don't you know me?" I'm Shui Xiuxiu! Then he sang in a low voice: "Ten miles of green leaves out of the blue bay, a piece of reed flowers flying in the blue sky." Only the wild geese come and go, and only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals. ”

Li En seemed to understand that this woman was Elder Shui's granddaughter, and she regarded herself as her lover who had fallen into the water and died, but didn't she already suffer from soul loss? How do you haunt the reeds alone?

Shui Xiuxiu saw that he was silent, so he said: "Chu Lang, you remember me, can you take me to the capital?" ”

Li En hurriedly explained: "No, girl, you recognize the wrong person, I am not your Chu Lang!" ”

Shui Xiuxiu thought that she had heard something wrong or said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "No, Chu Lang, you don't want to go to the capital, then let's go to a place where no one knows about it for the rest of our lives, okay?" ”

By the faint light of the lantern, Li En saw two lines of tears flowing from the corners of this woman's eyes, so he stopped talking, he hesitated to tell this weak woman the news that Chu Lang had drowned?

The light of the lantern flickered and went out.

Shui Xiuxiu suddenly threw herself into Li En's arms and sobbed in a low voice.

"Why does God deliberately embarrass two lovers?" Li En asked: "No, it's not God who is embarrassing the two of them, but the Shui family is embarrassing their granddaughter." ”

Countless black shadows flew from behind them, Li En was too frightened to breathe, countless river lamps floated towards them, and after the crows flew over, Shui Xiuxiu raised her head, pulled her long hair, and said: "Chu Lang, you see these river lanterns, they are all released by people in order to remember their deceased relatives and friends, and each lamp represents a person's soul." ”

However, these river lanterns continued to sink in the current, and Li En was still worried about his companion Zha Tiankuo, so he said: "Water girl, my friend is still in the reeds, we can't leave him, I want to go back to him." ”

Shui Xiuxiu said: "No, I don't want to go back!" Saying that, he went crazy and tore at his hair and clothes, and Li En hurriedly tried to stop her, but the other party became infinitely strong, pushed himself down, and then grabbed his face with both hands, and a lightning bolt slid by, illuminating a bloodstained face.

Li En's eyes widened, and the water girl let out a terrible scream.
