Chapter Thirty-Nine: Into the River with Murderous Intent
The closer the water of the Li River is to the shore, the more stable the river surface becomes, but experienced fishermen dare not be careless. Only the old fishermen who have dealt with the river all their lives know that the water on the shore is shallow, and the bottom of the river is strange and rocky, but there will be more undercurrents, and it looks calm on the surface, but the danger inside, I don't know how many raw melon eggs in charge of the new boat have lost their lives, so the old fisherman slowed down and carefully avoided the many turbulences that may be eaten by choosing people underwater.
Su Qinghuang sat on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, the crescent white robe on his body hunting under the river breeze, sitting still, the shaking of the tip of the boat could not move his body in the slightest.
The previous obsession in my heart, after meeting Qin Rushi, seemed to have finally disappeared and returned to silence. But Su Qinghuang suddenly thought of the key point of something, and slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"What a forgetful pig brain, who actually forgot to ask about Reiki. Su Qinghuang thought about it, originally thinking about asking why Qin Ruyi's zhengyin could speed up the cultivation of his aura, but under Qin Ru's initial teasing, he actually forgot about it for a while, and it seemed that he had to talk about it next time he had the fate to see him.
Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a panicked voice from the old fisherman, which directly interrupted Su Qinghuang's thoughts.
"It's not good, Master Su, the bottom of the boat is out of the water. The old man shouted at Su Qinghuang while scooping water out with a broken bucket, although he found it early, the water in the boat was obviously faster, and in the blink of an eye, the waterline had risen, looking at this posture, the sinking of the fishing boat was a foregone conclusion.
Fortunately, although there was a distance from the shore, Su Qinghuang estimated that with the two dog planers in his previous life memory, coupled with the water nature of the old man, it was enough for the two of them to stumble back to the shore. It's just for the boat, these fishermen have always been cautious, how can they not check in advance, there must be something strange in this.
The old man reluctantly glanced at the old guy who had been with him for decades, the bottom of the boat was neatly cut, it was obvious that it was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose, but the old man was also decisive, turned around and jumped from the boat, and then shouted at Su Qinghuang in the river: "Master Su, you also jump off quickly, if the boat sinks and pulls out of the underwater whirlpool, I am afraid it will not be so easy to get out." ”
Su Qinghuang knew the stakes, and immediately no longer hesitated, and also jumped into the water, and the two swam towards the shore together, don't look at the old man's age, he swam without ambiguity, took off the coarse cloth shirt on his body, his face was a little darker, but his body was white, and he was like a white fish swimming in the river waves for a while, but it was a few points faster than Su Qinghuang. Su Qinghuang's spiritual energy, which fell behind, was lucky in the stars and rose to catch up.
"Hehe, Brother Li, don't worry, Uncle Bai was born as a water bandit, and he didn't know how many people were killed on the river, this time Su Qinghuang would never be able to escape unless he gave birth to wings. "The right string of the Bai family's merchant ship, Bai Yuansheng sat by the string for a long time, looked at the black dots in the river in the distance, and said gloomily.
Li Fengyan nodded approvingly: "Yes, he is worthy of being the grandson of Old Man Bai, and he is so decisive in doing things." Speaking of which, our Li family recently has a batch of goods to go out of Qingjun by waterway, and if you think about it, your Bai family's wharf is enough to take on this task. ”
"Thank you, Brother Li, don't worry, we will make this trip a success, and there will be no mistakes. Bai Yuansheng slapped his chest and made up his mind to stand in the same boat with the Li family.
"Next, you and I just need to slowly appreciate how Su Qinghuang drowned in the river, but unfortunately, such a grand event, there is no wine, it is really a big pity. ”
Bai Yuansheng licked his face like a dog's leg and hurriedly said, "How can it, there is a ready-made chilled grape wine on the boat, specially prepared for Brother Li, I'll go get it." As he spoke, Bai Yuansheng bent over and got into the cabin, completely unaware of what kind of cold eyes Li Fengyan had behind him, and pinched one of the pawns in the chess pieces when he was playing chess before, and with a slight force, the chess pieces turned into powder.
The pawn who crosses the river wants to move forward with an indomitable momentum, until he dies, and he cannot turn back in his life, especially in order to devour the other party's old handsome, give up a pawn and benefit the whole, what is this small loss.
Su Qinghuang Wu swam with great effort, even though the posture was ugly and the efficiency was quite low, and there was not much physical strength left, but fortunately, it was close to the shore. It's just that suddenly a cold meaning emerged from Su Qinghuang's heart, this is an extremely dangerous sign, and before Su Qinghuang came back to his senses, there was a great pulling force under his feet, dragging him to the deepest part of the river bottom.
"Is it an undercurrent?" This was Su Qinghuang's last thought on the river, and then the whole person was dragged into the river, the water entered the nose, and the whole heart and lungs were choked like fire, but it also made him see clearly, what was under his feet.
It was not an undercurrent, but a black shadow, grabbing Su Qinghuang's left foot, with so much strength that Su Qinghuang, who had no focus in the water, could not compete at all, and could only fall deeper and deeper.
The beauty of aura is not only to strengthen the muscles and bones, but also to prolong Su Qinghuang's internal breath, so Su Qinghuang has been struggling in the river for a while, and he has not died of suffocation.
But in such entanglement, Su Qinghuang knew that he was going to die. This thing in the water is obviously a person, but because the light in the river is dim, he can't see the person's eyebrows clearly, even if his eyes are black.
couldn't sit still, seeing that no matter how much he kicked and kicked, he couldn't get rid of it, Su Qinghuang didn't continue to do this useless work, but let his sinking speed accelerate, his hands turned into fists, and smashed into the person's shoulder blades, with a muffled sound, the collision was as solid as a golden stone, and the weakness of the river unloaded Su Qinghuang's two points of strength. Because the person didn't do anything under this punch, Su Qinghuang had a terrible pain in his hand.
What kind of protective treasure should this person be wearing, Su Qinghuang thought, his movements were violent, and he already felt that his breath was insufficient at this time, and if he continued to delay like this, he would really drown in the river. That person's strength should be inferior to his own, otherwise he wouldn't have been fighting back, just dragging himself into Jiang Xin, but I don't know what method he used, the breath of his body is longer than that of himself who has cultivated aura.
That's right, Bai Sanxi, a disciple of the Bai family, because his father and Old Man Bai are cousins, so they are related to each other, and Bai Yuansheng calls Uncle Bai for face on weekdays. It's just that Bai Sanxi knows in his heart that he just has a little water-based ability, and he doesn't have that blessing in this life, even if he steps into the threshold of the avenue with half a foot, so he supports Bai Yuansheng on weekdays and waits, and occasionally gets a reward of dozens of taels of silver, but he is also at ease.
He couldn't intervene in the Bai family's business, and he didn't care about it, so he simply spent all his energy on how to please the future head of the Bai family. Strange goods can live, but whenever Bai Yuansheng has any use for him, as long as he opens his mouth, Bai Sanxi would rather carry his head and complete the matter.
On the flat ground, give Bai Sanxi three more dares, he also thinks that he doesn't have the courage to shoot at a person who is almost in the three realms of quenching, but in the water, Bai Sanxi was born as a water ghost when he was young, and the Bai family was far from being as generous as it is now. As for the people on the boat, they all destroyed their corpses and threw them into the river to feed the fish and turtles.
As long as he doesn't know the nature of water, let alone quenching the three realms, it is useless to quench the five realms. Because Su Qinghuang is a fierce tiger on land, when he gets to the water, he has to bow his head to an inconspicuous little loach, and because of the sharp request for a thing, he won Bai Yuansheng's favor, and rewarded him with a treasure armor in the Bai family's treasury.
"Ahem". Su Qinghuang coughed out a breath and struggled hard, but he still couldn't escape, that person was like the worst dog skin plaster, fighting to get a lot of punches and kicks from him, and he was still stubbornly entangled, and there was a danger that the fish would die and the net would be broken.
With this long breath, Su Qinghuang almost held it to the extreme, his qi and blood surged, and even the killer starfall could not be activated in the water.
"Is it really heaven that wants to kill me?" Time passed, Su Qinghuang's consciousness became thinner and thinner, and the range of struggle began to weaken, Bai Sanxi saw that the opportunity was coming, and he made a thousand pounds of falling ability, and the sinking speed accelerated sharply, until the two of them fell to the bottom of the river together, feeling that Su Qinghuang had half lost consciousness, Bai Sanxi laughed, this kid has a lot of strength in his hands, although his shoulder blades are broken, but he can do this, and he can get a big reward when he goes back. Thinking of this, he swam towards the river without looking back. At this time, Bai Sanxi also reached the limit, and if he didn't go out again, he couldn't say that he would be buried in the belly of the fish with Su Qinghuang.
Su Qinghuang no longer had the strength to return to the river, spit out the last breath in his chest, and watched a little black shadow above rise rapidly towards the river, and at the end, he still didn't know who that person was, and he could only be a fool when he died.
"Really, unwilling?" Su Qinghuang's vision was blurred, as if he saw Santuchuan in front of him, the memory fragments of his past life and present life wandered in his mind, cumin, Xiao Yun, Wu Muxin, Qin Ruyi, changed one stubble after another, until finally, Su Qinghuang's eyes were slightly closed, and a little bubble rose from his side.
In the courtyard of the Su family, Wu Muxin looked at Xiao Cumin with a scrutinizing gaze.
Xiao Cumin, who was standing aggrieved on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a crying voice: "Girl, it was Xiao Cumin who was wrong, you dissipated your anger, Xiao Cumin should have come back with the young master at that time, no, no, Xiao Cun should not go out with the young master." ”
Wu Mu's eyes were unfocused, and he said with a cold expression: "It's okay, since our Young Master Su likes to go to that kind of fireworks place, then there is no need to come back, Xiao Yun, tell the doorman Uncle Li to lock the door tightly, and after this moment, no one is allowed to enter or exit?"
"Got it. Xiao Yun'er stuck out her tongue, feeling sorry for the young master in her heart, but she still lowered her head and went to the gate to pass the word.
"Girl. Let's have a cup of tea to quench the fire. Xiao Cumin obediently handed over a fragrant tea, the mist curled, Wu Mu took it absentmindedly, but he suddenly panicked, and was accidentally burned by the teacup.
"Bang. In the small courtyard, there was a crisp sound of cracking.
Xiao Cumin hurriedly stepped forward and said distressedly: "Girl, it's okay, is it hot, I'll go to the back and ask Grandpa Wen and them to come over." ”
Wu Muxin just shook her head, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and a sharp pain in her heart for no reason suddenly came, making her almost unable to breathe, just brushing on the table, holding her heart in her slender hands, like Xizi, but her face was even paler.
