Chapter 157: Reflection in the Water

The sky is getting brighter.

The water vapor along the river has also weakened.

Today was a rare cloudy day.

The visibility has changed from four or five meters before to more than ten meters, and farther away, it still looks like a scorching figure, not very real.

Cao Jun meditated on the riverbank for an hour, his short hair and sleeves covered with dewdrops, and he was wet.

The riverbank is still as quiet.

During this period, an old farmer passed by with a bicycle pushing a cart of fruits and vegetables.

The old farmer didn't expect to meet Cao Jun on the embankment.

He looked at what Cao Jun was wearing.

Long robe with short hair, very weird, not like a scholar, and carrying a big gun in his hand, thinking that he was a foreigner who practiced martial arts, he kindly reminded: "This little brother, I don't think you are like a local, it is a good thing to work hard in the morning, but when you are alone, you must not be near the water's edge, otherwise no matter how good your martial arts are, it will be useless." ”

The old man pushed the cart and left after speaking, and when Cao Jun reacted, the person had already fallen into the fog.

"Don't go near the water's edge?"

"Could it be that there are monsters in this water too?"

Cao Jun pinched the big gun, but there was a sense of excitement in his heart.

He is now particularly sensitive to monsters.

One monster is equal to a few hundred positive qi points.

It's best to have a demon, the more the merrier, don't be a big demon.

The people of Qinghe County live and work in peace and contentment, live a prosperous and healthy life, and they are not like those chaotic places in the north, and they can't raise big demons.

As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil supports the other side, and all things need a suitable environment such as the right time and place to become fine.

In this Qinghe County, there is no soil for the survival of the big demon at all.

So far, a back mountain has been discovered.

The old man's kindness reminded Cao Jun, and he then turned on the Qi Hope Technique, stood on the river embankment and looked at it from a high level, only to see that the Qinghe River was like a white cloth.

To the north to the south, follow the trend.

The surface of the river was shrouded in a white mist.

The fog is too big, and even if there is a demonic aura, it is difficult to distinguish it for a while.

Cao Jun carried a big gun, with outstanding martial arts, and he didn't believe in evil in his heart.

The old man reminded him not to go near the water's edge, but he went to the water's edge to see...... Let's see if there are any monsters in the bottom of this water.

The embankment was only three or four meters high, and along one side of the river, an unknown aquatic weed grew like kudzu, and the flowers were purple and like lentils.

Cao Jun looked at it for a while, but he couldn't tell what it was, but it was a local souvenir.

He found a place where the ground was a little slower, and the man stood on the ground, his neck stretched out to look into the water.

The not-so-clear water immediately showed a reflection.

But it is not the reflection of Cao Jun with a spear.

Looks like a long-haired woman.

Such a weird side made Cao Jun's whole person blow up.

He was startled, and when he looked into the water again, the reflection disappeared again.

He rubbed his eyes, just as if he were dazzled.

Then I remembered the old man's warning.

Could it be that there is really something in this water?

Suspiciously, he stirred the spear in the water, bringing up nothing but a burst of mud and grass and broken leaves.

A shadow flashed in Cao Jun's heart.

He now lives by the riverbank, and if there is any fame in the water, sooner or later it will be discovered, and he is not in a hurry, and after thinking about it, he shrinks back again.

When Cao Jun retracted, the reflection in the water reappeared.

But it was a woman dressed like a local.

The woman looked at Cao Jun, blinked, a smile flashed across her face, and then disappeared.

Cao Jun returned to the river embankment and continued to meditate, but it was difficult for him to calm down.

Just when he was unsettled, another figure appeared in the thick fog, but this time it was a local young woman, Cao Jun just glanced at it, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

The young woman, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand and a towel wrapped around her head, ran towards Cao Jun in a panic, shouting as she ran, "Oh no, my son has fallen into the water." ”

Cao Jun was startled, and stood up with a spear, "Where is it, take me over quickly." ”

Saving lives matters.

It's a race against time.

The place where Cao Jun lived in his later generations was also a small waterside town, and he could swim since he was a child, and his water quality was not bad.

He knew that the surface of the river seemed to be calm, but below the surface of the river was turbulent and the water was turbulent, and if he was a little late, the child might be washed more than ten meters downstream.

Even if a salvage team is dispatched, it can only pick up a cold corpse.

The young woman didn't talk much, she twisted her waist directly, turned around and trotted ahead to lead the way.

Cao Jun hurriedly followed with an iron spear.

After a while, they came to a small ferry in front of them.

This ferry is very common along the river, and except for the occasional small boat, it is mostly used by nearby residents to wash vegetables, rice, and laundry.

However, this ferry port looks like it has been abandoned for a while.

The steps were covered with a layer of black moss.

Densely adsorbed on the steps, like the face of a terminally ill old man.

Saving lives is like fighting fire.

Cao Jun didn't think about it that much.

The young woman jumped to the small steps of the ferry, pointed to the right with her hand, and replied silently, "This is where I fell." ”

Cao Jun also followed closely to the lowest step.

The waves rolled in and soon wet his shoes.

He put the iron spear aside, and tucked the hem of his robe into his belt, and was about to plunge into the water to save people, but after searching the water with his eyes open for a while, where could he see the slightest figure?

If a child falls into the river for a short time, he will struggle constantly.

It should still be able to surface occasionally, and some clothing and arms can be seen somewhat.

Just when Cao Jun was puzzled, the young woman behind him stopped crying, but kept urging in a sharp voice: "You are jumping!" My son is in the water. ”

Cao Jun turned around and asked, "Is that what fell into the water here?" ”

But there was no one behind him.

At this moment, a flat boat appeared on the river, and on the flat boat stood a big man with a bamboo pole, wielding a bamboo pole to warn Cao Jun desperately.

It's a pity that there is a gap of twenty or thirty meters between the two, and the river is windy, Cao Jun can only hear someone shouting him, but he doesn't know what he is shouting.

At this moment, it is at the critical juncture of saving people, where does Cao Jun dare to think too much.

He was about to jump into the water.

In any case, this is a big thing to save people, even if you can't see people on the river, you have to go down to the river to fish.

Unexpectedly, the voice of the young woman behind him appeared again.

"Jump, jump down and save a life......"

Cao Jun looked back and saw the young woman kicking behind him, the bamboo basket in her hand was thrown somewhere, and the scarf on her head was spread out, revealing long black hair.

It's just that the young woman's face is indescribably weird.

There is a hint of fierceness in greed.

Staring at Cao Jun's eyes, there was an indescribable urgency, as if he was looking at a prey that was about to enter the trap.

Cao Jun has experienced several worlds, and he can be regarded as an old driver.

Out of an abundance of caution, he withdrew his arms and retracted his steps.

As for the figure of the child in the water, Cao Jun no longer counts on it, and it is estimated that it has already been cold.

At this moment, at most, it is to collect corpses.

If it is to retrieve corpses, then there is no hurry.

I still have some doubts, and I want to ask this young woman.

If you don't ask clearly, jumping like this, like a blind man touching an elephant, is also a waste of effort.

But the young woman couldn't wait at all.

When she saw that Cao Jun was not moving, and the man on the flat boat on the river was getting closer and closer, she suddenly lost her patience, opened her teeth and danced like claws, and desperately pounced on Cao Jun.

Cao Jun stretched out his hand to hold the young woman, but he didn't think that his hand was empty, and suddenly his feet slipped, and he fell into the water with a pop.
