Chapter 50: The River Festival

said that he stayed in Jijiang Fucheng for two days, but Rujiuleng, who was addicted to medicine, was directly extended to seven days.

When she had rested enough and eased up, the group set off to leave Jijiang.

The weather is crisp in autumn, and the greenery on both sides of the road is gradually replaced by yellow.

After the Changhuan River passes the Jijiang River, the basin becomes extremely turbulent and turbulent, and the vast and boundless water surface is no longer clear and turbid.

After passing through a small town to resupply, he did not stop there to rest, but continued south.

In a flash, August has passed and it is mid-September.

"Knock knock knock - tom."

Xiaozhi, who was looking at the books in the carriage and was sleepy, listened to the earth-shattering gongs and drums, and his spirit trembled.

Seeing that the young lady was still sleeping and was not awakened, she did not hesitate to open the curtain and look out.

On the simple pier by the river, although the clothes worn by the people are strange, they look inexplicably solemn.

The man at the front wore a hat tied with unknown feathers, a hat of the same style, and a few long feathers hanging down backwards.

People hold white strips of cotton yarn in both hands, with some kind of totem painted on them, which rotate and dance to the rising and falling beat of the drum.

It was not only Xiaozhi who was attracted, but also Su Mi Suliang, who was sitting on the wheel, also looked at it intently, the speed of the carriage was the slowest in history, and he didn't move much after a long time.

"If you want to see it, just stop and take a good look, and then you will leave after reading it, and you won't miss this time."

"Thank you, young master."

After receiving the young lady's approval, Sumi thanked him loudly, and boldly stopped the carriage against the side of the road.

The sound of the gongs and drums had stopped at this time, and the people, led by the leader of the group, fell to their knees and bowed down to the river with their hearts in front of the river.

"They're worshipping the river god, aren't they?"

"I still need to say it, I can see it a long time ago."

I don't know what's going on these days, Xiaozhi and Su Liang are all kinds of quarrels whenever they have the opportunity, and it is also the young lady who is kind enough to make these two guys fly more and more.

Su Mi stood between the two, "Okay, don't make any noise, if you don't want to see it, let's leave." ”

"For the sake of my brother Xiaomi's face, I'm a good man and doesn't fight with women." Su Liang grimaced at Xiao Zhi.

"Hmph, I also don't care about you in front of Brother Su." The twigs forked their waists and twisted their heads full of tsundere.

"You two don't think it's fun enough, and you want to make it lively for others to see."

Rujiu, who had just gotten out of the carriage and was about to breathe in the fresh air, saw the two of them who were becoming more and more naïve and opened their mouths angrily, and won with a single blow.

Only looking intently at the lively Sumi, she suddenly exclaimed, "What are they trying to do?" ”

I saw that the crowd dispersed after the kneeling and prostration, leaving a large open space in the middle.

In the open space are two half-human-high cages made of bamboo strips.

The leader said something, and two children, a boy and a girl, looked like they were no more than ten years old.

The slightly older girl hugged the boy next to her tightly, and the two of them were crying desperately for something in a half-kneeling and half-hugging position.

Most of the people around him were numb, and a few women and children couldn't bear to bury their heads and keep wiping their tears, but they didn't dare to really help.

When a few strong men came out of the crowd, they separated the two children very rudely, and one of them put them into a bamboo cage.

"This, young master?" "Young Master!"

Rujiu shook his head, in the crowd, their parents and relatives did not do anything, what can outsiders say?

She could have helped this time, but what if they were gone? There is no second time? What then?

If you don't save people, you only need to save half of it and don't care, you give hope and are in despair again, and how lacking in virtue is to be possessed for the justice at that moment.

"Young Master, you can help them, saving one life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, these are two lives, young master!"

"Yes, young master."

Seeing the current situation, the three of Sumi couldn't help but plead.

They have all experienced the hardships of life or the kind of people, but they still retain the innocence and goodness of their hearts in such situations.

Although Rujiu was very pleased, he still didn't say yes directly, "It's a good thing to have kindness, but it's a pity that you don't have a brain." ”

The thumb and index finger are together, and two silver needles are thrown out of the fingertips, and the strength of the internal force can make it faster and fly farther.

"Poof—"

The two bamboo cages containing the children were thrown by the strong men and smashed into the river in the distance.

Then the onlookers tied the white yarn to the wooden railing of the pier, bowed their heads together and slowly withdrew and walked away.

"Let's go."

Rujiu turned around, but he didn't hear the footsteps they followed, and when he saw them bowing their heads and looking sad, "If you want to save people, hurry up." ”

"Huh?"

The three who raised their heads couldn't believe their ears until they saw the same look on the other two before they were sure they had heard correctly.

"Quick, hurry up and keep up with the young master."

……

I walked down the water for a while, calculating the distance and the speed of sinking.

Rujiu stopped and looked at Su Mi and Su Liang, "You know how to swim?" ”

The two nodded at the same time, this is also a life-saving skill, and the old beggar taught them at the beginning.

The eyes motioned for Xiaozhi to take Fang Cai off the carriage, and unwrapped the cloth in his hand and handed it to them.

"Tie this head to your body, and when you find someone, pull the strip of cloth on your body, and I will pull you up again."

"Hmm."

Su Mi Su Liang quickly took off his coat, tied the cloth around his waist and tied a dead knot, and after trying to drag it without any problem, he went into the water to salvage the bamboo cage.

Standing on the shore, Rujiu wrapped one hand around the other end of the cloth. The feet were firmly nailed to the spot without moving, and they watched the movement of the river with full attention.

"It's moved, it's both moved, miss!"

"I see, you stand farther away."

The left and right hands and waist exert force at the same time, and a steady stream of internal force is infused into the arms, such as pulling the cloth strip up for a long time.

"Poof—"

"Twigs help!"

"Oh, oh, good."

Finally, even people with bamboo cages were brought to the shore, and several people opened the cages one after another and dragged out the motionless two people inside.

Rujiu shook off his trembling hands, took a few steps forward and squatted down, and took out the silver needle from the closed acupoint of the sister and brother.

"Miss, why are the two of them still not responding?"

Although piercing the acupuncture point makes people enter a state of suspended animation, it is not true that they will not drown in the water, after all, they have been in the water for so long.

He pulled off his sleeves and took out a few silver needles again, roasted them with a fire fold, and then began to give first aid.

Half a cup of tea, when the last needle was pricked, I saw that the two people who closed their eyes reacted at the same time.

"Ahem~" "Grope-"

"That's it."

Yang Xiaolian and Yang Xiaowang woke up in a daze, remembering the scene when they were about to be thrown into the river, their eyes first rose with horror and despair, and then they were stunned when they saw the person standing in front of her.

was hugged tightly by the little brother next to him, and completely recovered from his crying, and finally made sure that their sister and brother were saved!

"Thank you, thank you for saving our brother and sister, thank you benefactors! Thanks..."

Before she finished speaking, she was already choked, and Yang Xiaolian had to pull her younger brother to kowtow to the few people standing and thank her.

"Hey, don't knock us!"

"Yes, yes, don't knock us, it's my young master who saved you."

"Thank you, Childe, thank you Father."
