Chapter 37: Scheming

"In broad daylight, you dare to kill people with a knife, and there is no royal law in your eyes?"

In the midst of a loud shout, the person who walked in front of Li Xi was a thin man.

The clothes on his body were tattered, a black kudzu cloth shirt, a pair of trousers underneath, wrinkled, and several holes, the clothes were so torn that they were completely gone, and the clothes he was wearing were actually a pair of straw sandals.

Li Xi got up from the ground in shock, only to find that the person who spoke was only up to his shoulder, I really don't know where he got such a heroic and rough voice.

At this time, the surrounding crowd saw that the killer was repulsed, and finally began to gradually regain their composure, only to look at it from a distance, not to go away, but not to lean over.

Committing murder in broad daylight, everyone was angry when they saw it, but if they dared to save people, even in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, where the style of rangers prevailed, they couldn't find a single one out of ten.

Looking at the three killers who were spitting blood over there, and then looking at the thin man in front of him who was so thin that people wondered if he was only seventy or eighty pounds, Li Xi took a few breaths and began to come back to his senses.

He clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, sir, for coming to the rescue." ”

The man didn't bother to turn his face at all, waved his hand, but didn't answer, just looked at the three people over there intently, and said provocatively: "What, don't accept it?" Let's fight again! ”

Hearing this, Li Xi said anxiously: "Sir, they committed murder in broad daylight, and I asked Mr. to capture them and send them to the official mansion, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." ”

Who would have thought that the person was about to step forward and listen to Li Xi's words, but he was stunned and turned his head, "Why should I listen to you?" ”

Li Xi was stunned.

At this moment, the three killers saw that something was wrong, it seemed that the man who suddenly killed had a lot of kung fu at hand, even if the three of them worked together, they might not be able to please him, and if they couldn't hit it, the matter had already fallen, so they simply looked at each other, and then turned around and ran.

The crowd hula-la-la-dodged the road, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to dodge being hit by the three murderers.

So, while Li Xi was stunned, the three of them calmly fled.

Seeing the three of them running away, Li Xi didn't have time to take care of the dirt on his body, just looked at the thin man in surprise.

Without waiting for him to speak, the man saw that the other party was scared away by himself, so he turned around and walked over, picked up his broken bowl with a gap, and didn't even look at Li Xi, so he turned around and walked away.

Although this person acted strangely and actually sat back and watched the murderer escape, after all, he saved his life, and after coming back to his senses, Li Xi wanted to catch up and thank him, but he had just taken a step when he heard the sound of fluttering in the water again.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Ah, I'm afraid that person in the water can't swim!" ”

When Li Xi heard this, he didn't care about chasing the man, and hurriedly walked to the Qujiang Pond, seeing that Lianlian was fluttering in the water, picking up with both hands, but the water had already been drowned, leaving only a pair of double duck buns still dangling on the water, occasionally grabbing out of the water to take a breath, but before he could speak, he was silent again.

Fortunately, in the previous life, Li Xi could swim.

He didn't care about his clothes, so a fierce man plunged into the Qujiang Pond and swam towards the lotus lotus.

It was the end of autumn, the weather was getting cooler, it was the autumn breeze and the leaves of Weishui were full of Chang'an, although it was noon, but the water in the Qujiang Pond was still cold and biting, Li Xi struggled to swim to Lianlian's side, reached over with one hand to hold up her slender waist, but gave her a pull, and the whole person was like an octopus and struggled to wrap Li Xi, and for a while Li Xi couldn't move.

I had heard before that there were often cases where rescuers were trapped to death by drowning people, but I had only heard of it, and at this time I felt that Lianlian was such a little girl, and at this time she was holding herself firmly with her hands and feet, and her strength was surprisingly great, and Li Xi couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.

He also knows that for drowning people, on the one hand, the desire to survive in their hearts is extremely strong, as long as anything that can be grabbed appears next to them, they will immediately catch it, which has nothing to do with anything else, it is purely a survival instinct.

Two, although Lianlian has not been in the water for a long time at this time, she has obviously eaten a lot of water, plus the water in this pool is cold, even after she came in, she felt cold and piercing, and she faintly felt like cramping, not to mention that she had been soaking in the water for a while, and at this time, her muscles were already spasms.

At this time, her hands and feet were tightly clasped on Li Xi's body, even if Li Xi tried her best to break one of her arms, she couldn't break it at all, and even the more she wanted to break it, the tighter she hugged it.

Li Xi tread hard to ensure that she would not sink below the water, and at the same time struggled to pull out a hand, desperately supporting her body, and at the same time shouted in her ear, "Lianlian, wake up, wake up!" ”

A palm slapped her back a few times, and when Lian Lian spit out a mouthful of water, Li Xi was already about to sink, still drinking, "Lian Lian, don't hold me so tightly, you wake up." ”

Spit out a mouthful of water, Lianlian's consciousness seemed to have recovered a little, and the strength on her arm was slightly relaxed, Li Xi closed her breath, her mouth and nose were not in the water, only the bun on her head was still floating on the water, and she swam to the water with Lianlian in her arms.

It is also strange to say that when Lianlian entered the water, it was Li Xi who threw her down, with Li Xi's strength, even if she was close to the shore, it was impossible to throw her too far, but at this time, Lianlian was drowning, but she was already three or four feet away from the shore.

At this time, even if there were people on the shore who wanted to save people, seeing that Li Xi had already saved people, they just stopped on the shore to watch, as for Gengxin and Miaomiao, they wanted to help, but both of them grew up in the north and were also landlubbers, but where did they dare to go into the water to help?

Finally, Li Xi finally swam to the shore, Geng Xin and Miaomiao grabbed Lianlian's hand and struggled to drag her ashore, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief, climbed the guardrail by the Qujiang Pond with his hands and feet, turned over and lay on the ground, he felt like he was about to die, his body was cold, his limbs were numb to the point that he almost lost consciousness, and he just gasped greedily.

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Lianlian and Miaomiao, the two girls hugged each other tightly, and they were trembling with each other, Lianlian even called the water to make her face white and purple, and her lips were a little black, seeing Li Xi lying on the ground, her eyes were full of gratitude, and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't speak.

At this time, it was Geng Xinwa who cried out.

He cried so much that he looked like he was loyal, "Son, I'm scared of the villain, the villain should be damned, I wanted to rush over to block the knife for you, but before the villain passed, the assassin had already retreat......ed."

Li Xi opened his eyes, panting weakly, and when he heard the words, he was angry and laughing, and couldn't help kicking him away.

"Fuck off, get a carriage!"

Everything, there is a price.

In the face of the sudden attack, Li Xi panicked, almost burst out with 200% agility, strength and speed, but when that tense moment passed, what he could feel, in addition to the cold sweat on his body, was the indescribable swelling and soreness of the muscles all over his body, plus in order to save Lianlian, he immediately jumped into the cold Qujiang Pond and fluttered for a long time, it can be said that for these two things, his spirit and spirit have been completely exhausted.

So much so that when he got into the carriage that Gengxin found and walked all the way home, although he could feel the slight swaying of the carriage and horses running over the street, Li Xi was so weak that he couldn't open his eyes.

When I got home, I had a high fever.

In a daze, I didn't know the night, I felt as if I was asleep, but I don't know when, it seemed to wake up, but I always felt tired and wanted to die, and I didn't bother to open my eyes at all.

Or rather, he no longer had the strength to open his eyes.

In the haze, some people were crying in their ears, and some people were talking softly in their ears, but the voice seemed to be there, but he couldn't hear what the other party said.

When I woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and it was almost late.

Li Xi just felt that he was extremely weak, and after barely opening his eyes, he saw a pair of double duck buns constantly swaying up and down in front of him, and he barely reached out to touch Miao Miao, who was dozing off.

Miao Miao woke up suddenly, and when she saw that Li Xi was awake, she was stunned for a moment, but she suddenly cried out.

"Childe, you can be regarded as awake, scared to death!"

Li Xi smiled, and after touching her, the arm seemed to have no strength to lift it again.

At this time, Miaomiao came back to her senses, wiped her tears, and began to be happy, and couldn't help shouting outside: "Come on, everyone, the prince is awake!" ”

In fact, there was no need for her to shout, hearing the cry just now, Li Yifeng had already hurried over, and at this time he opened the sickle curtain and walked in, Li Yifeng couldn't help but increase his forehead with his hand, "Son, you are finally awake." ”

Li Xi smiled at him, and then remembered Lianlian, she was drowning, and she had been in the water longer than herself, and she didn't know what was going on, so she asked, "Is Lianlian okay?" How's it going? ”

When Miao Miao heard this, the tears on her face didn't dry, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Yifeng said with a smile: "If you know that the first thing you said when you woke up was to ask about her safety, Miss Lianlian is afraid that I don't know what to be moved into!" ”

He also said: "Don't worry, Princess, Miss Lianlian just has a cold, although she also has a high fever, but the doctor has also seen it, and now she has taken a few medicines, and it is no longer in the way." ”

Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and then remembered that thrilling moment, and his face gradually began to be gloomy.

After a pause for a long time, just as Miaomiao went out to pour water for Li Xi, he looked at Li Yifeng, his eyes slowly exuded a fierce brilliance, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you find out, who did it?" ”
