Chapter 52: The lame ugly boy
The rain was pouring down and the wind was blowing.
The sky and the earth are white, and bewitching lightning zigzags through the air from time to time; The thunder and the storm were deafening.
At the moment when Han Xu and Ji Ling were swept away by the flood, the classmates were so frightened that they stood on the edge of the flood in the torrential rain, looking at the tumbling and roaring like demonic turbid waves, the faces of these ivory tower children were full of helplessness, panic and despair.
"It's all your fault, what kind of photos did Ji Ling take in such a heavy rain!"
Li Mo yelled at the crying Lin Ya in the rain, when they arrived, Han Xu had already swam to the river, otherwise he could have helped, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything now, and his heart was also full of anger towards this group of students who would not save them when they saw death, but the way of the world is like this, there are not many people who are righteous and brave, there are many people who fall into the well, and cold-eyed bystanders are all over the mountains!
Li Mo turned his head to Tian Zhuangzhuang and said, "Lao Tian, let's go down the river to find Han Xu!" โ
"Are you crazy?" Tian Zhuangzhuang grabbed Li Mo, who had a fever in his head, this usually giggling boy had calmness and wisdom beyond his age on his face, and when everyone was panicking, he had already taken out his mobile phone to call the police.
"Don't stand here in the rain, let's all go back." Tian Zhuangzhuang shouted to the panicked classmates: "The road is slippery in the rain, and the boys take care of the girls on the road." โ
"You're afraid of death! Han Xu was swept away by the flood, didn't he care? Li Mo shook off Tian Zhuangzhuang's hand and roared angrily: "Tian Zhuangzhuang, I treat you as a brother for!" If you don't go, I'll look for it alone! โ
"Smack"!
Tian Zhuangzhuang slapped Li Mo, who had lost his mind, and shouted with a cold face: "Have you ever clamped the door panel in your brain!" It's really stupid, just our group of scum to find people alone, the water is urgent and the road is dangerous and we don't know the road, and if people don't find us, we may be swept away by the flood! โ
"You're so afraid of death!"
Li Mo was furious, grabbed Tian Zhuangzhuang's collar and opened his mouth to spray, but suddenly felt a burst of weakness, in fact, he knew in his heart that such a big wind and waves, the boulders along the river were abrupt, Han Xu and Ji Ling would be killed if they were not drowned, and the chances of survival were already very slim.
"Then what should I do now...... Li Mo squatted in the mud puddle, pulled his hair and said with red eyes: "With such a big storm, the police will definitely not be able to come back for a while!" โ
Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Li Mo, who was covered in mud and water, and was inexplicably moved in his heart.
He knew that Li Mo was a person with a fiery and impatient personality, clear grievances, and very brotherly feelings, when Han Xu humiliated him, he immediately fought back, and later after the incident of military training and punishment, the two resolved the conflict and became very good friends.
Tian Zhuangzhuang exhaled, he couldn't panic at this time, turned his head and said loudly to the classmates who were standing: "There can't be any more things now, you all go back, and wait for the police to come." Li Mo, you go to Xiling Village to contact the local villagers and fishermen, and ask them to come and save people. โ
Li Mo raised his head: "What about you?" โ
Tian Zhuangzhuang squinted at the rolling and roaring turbid waves: "I'm here waiting for you to bring someone over." โ

In the afternoon, CUHK Library.
CUHK's library is well-known in the educational circles of the entire Chinese Empire, with the largest collection, the largest collection of rare books, and the strongest learning atmosphere.
Rows of shelves lined with books, like guards waiting to be reviewed, students walked through them, searching for the books they wanted according to the classified index, literature and fiction were the most popular, the most genres, and the most students came to borrow them.
The most unpopular category is 'religion and other', and almost no one comes to it. Therefore, this category is naturally placed in the last row of the corner of the picture hall, because the library hall is too large, and there are too few people in the back row, and this is almost an independent kingdom.
There is a special boy in the independent kingdom.
He is said to be special because his appearance is so weird.
He is short, only about 1.6 meters tall, with sunken eye sockets, a sallow complexion like a sick ghost, not very old, but his body is always rickety, and his chin is too prominent, which makes people feel that he is like a primitive man who has not fully evolved, his left foot is lame, and he scurries forward when he walks, and a spring seems to be installed under his foot.
The lame boy walked down the aisle with a copy of "Mingxin Baojian" in his hand, when he saw a broken skin on the bookshelf, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to get it with his feet, but he was too short to take it off, so he took two steps back and jumped to grab the "Book of the Gods", but he didn't expect his body to hit the bookshelf, swaying, the entire bookshelf and he fell, and the ancient books were scattered all over the ground.
"Second brother, here you go."
At this time, a white hand handed the "Book of Divine Spirits" to the lame boy: "I heard that this ancient book is also called the Immortal Ascension Technique, which was written by the god Jiuxiazi, and it contains all the folk spells, second brother, do you have any new research?" โ
"I just want to study what kind of god Jiuxiazi is." The lame boy of the wolf bรจi was helped to his feet by a teenager.
The boy's cheeks were white and delicate, his hair was pure white, and the broken diamond in his left ear shone in the light.
Wang Xijue.
The lame boy and Wang Xijue stood together, forming a more stark contrast, one was a thick needle and thick thread rag shirt, and the other was a fine needle and fine thread brocade robe, just like Andy Lau and Guo Degang stood together, there was a world of difference, but Wang Xijue was very respectful to the short boy.
Because, the lame boy is the second young master of the Gusu Wang family - Wang Xuanba!
"Second brother, you already know about the theft of Caesar's kiss." Wang Xijue said: "Now all the clues point to our righteous brother Gao Bo, Gao Bo is missing, I suspect that the eldest brother ......"
"What is Caesar's Kiss? Heavy or? Wang Xuanba interrupted Wang Xijue's words.
"Of course it does, it cost me 1.5 billion." Wang Xijue said: "With so much money in vain, I don't know how to deal with my father." โ
"You took Caesar's kiss to give it to Ji Ling, it's worth giving such a valuable thing to someone you like, but you ignored a basic thing." Wang Xijue's bland eyes looked at Wang Xijue: "Are you sure that the eldest lady of the Qingchuan Ji family likes you?" โ
"Of course! If I need to question this, I would be a failure. Wang Xijue's words were full of confidence.
Wang Xuanba looked at Wang Xijue deeply, shook his head and said: "If you are sure, the 1.5 billion necklace and the fifteen necklace are the same for Ji Ling, so you are not sure, so you took Caesar's kiss to please Ji Ling." โ
Wang Xijue was silent, speechless.
His second brother was born with a disability and was terminally ill, but God closed one door and opened another door for him, giving him a mind full of great wisdom.
Wang Xuanba has read all the strange books in the world, there are 3,000 Tibetan Buddhist scriptures in his belly, and the Gusu royal family can quickly rise to become the top three wealthy giants in the hunter world.
"Xijue, you were wrong in the first place."
Wang Xuanba walked to the window with his hands in his hand and looked at the torrential rain outside the window: "You like flowers, now that the rain is heavy, flowers are being destroyed by the heavy rain, so she doesn't need you to prune the branches and leaves for her to become more beautiful, and she needs you to move her indoors to take care of her." โ
Wang Xuanba paused: "Qingchuan Ji family is rich, not worse than our Wang family, Ji Ling doesn't need Caesar's kiss, God's kiss, what she needs is your sincere dedication and careful care......"
"Ahem......"
Wang Xuanba suddenly coughed violently, his yellow and shriveled cheeks flushed, and after a long time, he put down the handkerchief covering his mouth, and said slowly: "Don't do those useless efforts, look for Caesar's kiss after it is stolen, don't doubt the eldest brother, because he is your eldest brother." There is still a month left before Ji Ling's coming-of-age ceremony, you should seize the opportunity, treat Ji Ling well, and don't delay the plan. โ
"Hmm." Wang Xijue nodded, and saw a ball of blood on the white handkerchief in Wang Xuanba's hand, and his always cold face showed a trace of concern: "Second brother, it has been raining heavily these days, damp and cold, you have to pay attention to your body." โ
"It's okay, I can't die for the time being." There was a smile on the corner of Wang Xuanba's chapped mouth, with a desolate taste of seeing through life and death that did not fit his age.
At this time, a man in a suit hurriedly walked over: "Second young master, third young master, out, something is wrong." โ
Wang Xijue tilted his head: "Say." โ
The man in the suit hurriedly said: "Today, the eldest lady of the Qingchuan Ji family, Ji Ling, and her classmates went to Xiling to play, and twenty minutes ago, Miss Ji Ling was swept away by the flood at the Dragon Girl Cliff. โ
"What?" Wang Xijue's eyes narrowed.
The man in the suit said in a panic: "Also, there is also a middle school student named Han Xu who was swept away with Miss Ji Ling." โ
Wang Xijue's five fingers were closed, and his face became extremely cold.
Wang Xuanba turned a page of "The Book of the Gods" and said lightly: "Now is the time for you to give and care for yourself sincerely." โ
