In a room not far away, a man's noisy voice suddenly came: "Zhao ...... Zhao Xiang'e, Lao Tzu has been waiting for her here for half an hour, how can she ...... Why haven't you come yet? ”

This voice turned out to be Ning Zhiheng! And it sounds like a big tongue, apparently drunk.

I don't know what others said, but I heard Ning Zhiheng's loud scolding again: "You don't have long eyes!" Think Lao Tzu is easy to deceive, don't you? What kind of guests are entertained? I've already decided on her, what, do you think Lao Tzu is so foolish? ”

I don't know what others said to Ning Zhiheng, in short, Ning Zhiheng suddenly rushed out of a wing room in the backyard of Wan Yanfang, and said with a big tongue: "I want to see what kind of distinguished guests she is entertaining today?" ”

Although this is the backyard of Wan Yanfang, it is not separated by a wall, but only a few small houses.

Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu followed the sound, and saw a staggering figure rushing out of one side room, rushing into another side room, and shouting: "Is Zhao Xiang'e here?" Is Zhao Xiang'e here? And there was a person who looked like a little guy in the back hurriedly ran in, but he said that he couldn't stop Ning Zhiheng, who had drunk too much.

When he boarded, the voice of the man next to him scolding Ning Zhiheng was heard, and after Ning Zhiheng withdrew from the house, he actually rushed to another room even harder, saying that he wanted to find Zhao Xiang'e.

Ning Xia Qing only glanced at it and frowned: "How can he make trouble like this?" Hurry up and go to Ah Zheng to find him, Ah Zheng should be socializing with Dong Zizhen now, you ask Ah Zheng to come over and help hold Ning Zhiheng down first, otherwise let Ning Zhiheng continue to make trouble like this, it will have to be a big deal! ”

Cuiyu hesitated a little: "Girl, let's leave it alone, it's none of our business......"

"Of course I don't want to care about him." Ning Xia Qing said a little anxiously: "But the shopkeeper of the Hefeng Pavilion knows that my surname is Ning, and naturally he also knows that I and Ning Zhiheng are relatives, and I have had a holiday with Ning Zhiheng before, what if this matter is said to be that I framed Ning Zhiheng in the future?" Who told me to see it, if I don't care, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell in the future. ”

Cuiyu pursed her lips, but sighed and said, "The girl will wait for me for a while, and I will be back immediately." Then he ran to the front of the restaurant.

Ning Xia Qing saw that Ning Zhiheng didn't stop after making trouble in one room again, and he actually rushed to the next room, it seems that if he didn't find Zhao Xiang'e today, Ning Zhiheng would not give up.

Ning Ningqing was so angry that he secretly scolded Ning Zhiheng in his heart, and at the same time looked ahead, only to see that Cuiyu had not come back.

Suddenly, the frightened voice of the little girl came from the backyard of a certain wing room in Wanyanfang: "Don't fight! Don't fight! Alas, don't fight, don't fight, don't get angry, if you fight again, you'll die! ”

Ning Ningqing was in a hurry, only to hear a chaotic smashing sound not far away, Ning Ningqing couldn't help but take two steps forward, and heard the little guy suddenly cry out in more horror: "Dead!" Express Officer! O Bulletin! ”

Dead? Ning Ningqing's heart shook suddenly, and he couldn't help but take more than a dozen steps forward, but Cuiyu hadn't come back yet, Ningxia Qing was anxious, but he didn't dare to rush over to check the situation, so he had to poke his head into the noisy place to see what was going on.

Suddenly, she stepped on an extremely smooth stone, her body was crooked, she lost her balance all of a sudden, and she actually fell into Wanhe Lake!

Her consciousness was instantly overwhelmed by the surging water! There was only a blank space left in my heart.

She suddenly had only one thought - she wanted to live! She's going ashore! She kept struggling in the water, her arms flapping the water around her in a panic, the water halo swinging around and around, her hands clutching wildly, as if she was about to grasp something, but only splashed a splash!

However, the dispute on Ning Zhiheng's side attracted everyone's attention, even though the vicinity where she fell into the water was not empty, but no one noticed that she fell into the dark lake at night!

Wanhe Lake is built by diverting water, and there is a culvert at the bottom of the water to communicate with the Meigong River, so the water flow is not gentle under the calm lake surface, and Ningxia Qing was quickly swept away by the current, and rolled to the center of the lake dozens of zhang away from the falling water!

The sinking body made her feel the cold message of death, and she was already branched, as if there was a Yama imp tightly strangling her neck, constantly exerting force, making it even more difficult for her to breathe!

She fluttered as hard as she could, but the movement was like a fish leaping onto the surface, and no one noticed her!

Ning Xia Qing floated in the cold water, and her soaked clothes were as heavy as stones, and they fell her down.

She only felt that she was losing consciousness more and more, and in the midst of great unwillingness, her heart hurt as if it were torn, and those few words kept echoing in her mind—

"What a wife of the Tan family who said nothing about it, now she hasn't ended up like this! It's so heartening to see you dying...... Thank you for saving the family business for your grandfather, when you die, I will enjoy your hard work! ”

"Ten years ago, my sister was withdrawn from the Shen family, my sister's father died suddenly, and your family's old and weak women and children were excluded and oppressed by the Ning family's relatives, these are all arranged by the master...... Do you really think you're a smart person? Actually, the master is just using you, but I pity you for treating the master as a benefactor, taking care of the master for so many years, and giving away the Ning family's mulberry garden......"

Du Qiutong's hypocritical smile, that cold and cruel, bloodthirsty and crazy eyes kept shaking in front of her eyes!

Reality was violently washed away by memories, she could hardly tell what was a nightmare and what was reality, she only felt that she was still the stupid woman who was deceived by Tan Wenshi and her family was ruined, her hand waved weakly at the end, she didn't know whether she was trying to survive, or just unwilling desperate struggle.

At this moment, someone suddenly held her waist up!

She thought that the water was rushing at her, but the man's strength was extremely strong, and he firmly held her up in her arms, and the two of them were like a flat boat in the wild stream, blown away and constantly floating.

She suddenly cried, cried fiercely, only felt hatred and sourness, hugged the other party tightly, and beat the other party's chest weakly like crazy: "Why...... Why...... Why lie to me, and why...... I ......"

"Be sober!" Suddenly, the man's serious shouts reached her ears, and suddenly she woke up from her nightmares, and she opened her eyes, and through the tears, she saw the wet, excessively undulating face.

The undercurrent hit the two of them again and again, the two of them were like a reed grass falling on the water, being washed back and forth by the current, Ning Ningqing was already stupid, he didn't know what to do at all, just kept floating in the water, breathing hard.

Ah Zheng was here, she knew, and then she fell asleep.

On the night of August 14, the moonlight shone like silver everywhere, except for the depths of the trees, which turned black in the moonlight.

The grass around them was as loud as falling rain, and the falling warbler showed off its throat tactfully.

She coughed a few times, and finally woke up, and found herself in a thicket of trees and grass.

Saved, it seems.

She shuddered suddenly, only to feel an inexplicable warmth in front of her, she looked over, and saw a cluster of fire jumping in front of her, the fire gave her warmth, a warmth wrapped around her like a river, swimming beside her, gradually dispelling the chill after falling into the water.

After Ningxia Qing recovered a little, Ah Zheng took Ningxia Qing back along a remote path. It turned out that when they were in the water just now, the two of them were swept far away by the turbulent undercurrent, and when Ah happened to not be easy to pull the fainting Ningxia Qing to the shore, the two were already far away from the Hefeng Pavilion.

Ning Xia Qing was actually not a big deal, in fact, she didn't even choke on two mouthfuls of water, but she was entangled by that terrifying, enough to destroy people's nightmares, and her emotions were too fluctuating for a while. Ningxia Qing walked slowly side by side with Ah Zheng, without saying a word, until Ah Zheng led her to a slightly broken courtyard wall.

She asked pitifully, "Where is this?" ”

"A small door in Wan Yan Fang." Ah Zheng whispered, "You wait for me here, I'll go and steal a piece of clothes for you that you can change." ”

Only then did Ning Xia Qing notice that he was already soaking wet, and although he had just been roasted, the wetness was still obvious, so he must not be able to see anyone......

"Wait......" she grabbed Ah Zheng and said pitifully, "I...... I'm a little scared ......."

There was no one around, and she had just been frightened, and she really didn't want to be here alone......

Ah Zheng looked around, obviously worried, but he was very embarrassed, after all, he couldn't sneak in with Ning Ningqing. Ningxia Qing is not as athletic as him, relatively speaking, it is relatively easy to be discovered, and once it is found that a girl's family in Ningxia Qing appears in Wanyanfang, Ningxia Qing will not be able to tell.

Ning Xia Qing thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Can you find Zhao Xiang'e?" Why don't we go directly to Zhao Xiang'e and ask her to help us. ”

Ah Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I remember I just heard that she will accompany Qi Kaifeng in the wing room next to Wanhe Lake tonight, if we want to find her, we have to go back to Wanhe Lake." ”

"I know she's ...... over Wanhe Lake" Ning Xia Qinggang couldn't help but be stunned after saying this, the incident of falling into the water scared her, she almost forgot that there seemed to be a murder next to Wanhe Lake just now!

She became anxious again and asked Ah Zheng to take her back to Wanhe Lake as soon as possible.

After they were washed away by the current, Ah Zheng struggled to go ashore next to a remote bush, and after a simple fire there, seeing that Ning Ningqing's appearance at the moment was really not suitable for appearing in front of everyone, Ah Zheng took her from the forest path to the vicinity of Wanyanfang, and if she wanted to return to Wanhe Lake at this moment, she had to pass through a small alley.

This alley used to be very prosperous, and there were shops on both sides.

Until a few years ago, all the land on one side was bought and left by the expanding Wan Yan Fang, which built a high courtyard wall. Later, the other side was bought by another expanding Qinglou, and a high courtyard wall was also built. Since then, there have been no shops on the alley.

These two green buildings seem to be competing, secretly poking and poking to compare whose courtyard wall is higher, first Wan Yanfang repaired the courtyard wall of three zhang, the other party was not convinced, it was repaired three and a half zhang, Wan Yanfang was naturally not to be outdone, so it was repaired to four zhang high, a few days later, the convenience and started to repair to five zhang, so back and forth, no one obeyed anyone.

But the other party's business was much worse than Wan Yanfang, and when comparing the walls of the seminary, he sprinkled a lot of useless silver, and he couldn't turn around for a while, so the other party's boss had to exchange the land. The new merchants are much more honest and have never touched the wall at all.

As a result, the alley is tightly enclosed by two walls on the left and right, making the alley extremely dark, and because there are courtyard walls on both sides and no shops, it is even darker and gloomy at night. As a result, few people walk around here.

Ah Zheng took Ning Xia Qing to this alley, although this alley is gloomy, but Ning Ningqing is not afraid at all, after all, there are two people in this alley at the moment, and there are no others, so naturally there is no need to be afraid, and she follows Ah Zheng closely, and she has a bottom in her heart.

As she walked, she asked Ah Zheng softly, "How the hell do you know that I am in the water?" Does Jade know I fell in? ”

Ah Zheng replied: "When Cuiyu went to call me, I had just settled the carriage and was about to go upstairs, and after meeting Cuiyu, I went directly to you, and Cuiyu went upstairs to find the shopkeeper Dong." I don't think it's hard to find you, but Jade shouldn't know about you falling into the water yet, and she must be in a hurry to find us now. ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help frowning, there were too many things happening tonight, she had to find Cuiyu quickly, and she didn't know what was going on with the murder case over there, and she was so embarrassed now, it was really an uneasy night......
