Chapter 3: Saving Lives
As Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang fell into the water, the calm of the lake was broken in an instant, and even the birds perched on the weeping willows by the lake were so frightened that they flew into the air and dropped a few feathers.
Ji Chongyi obviously didn't know how to water, and shouted as he struggled with the undulations of the water: "Help...... Help ......"
Jiang seemed to stare closely at the two people struggling in the water, and pushed Ah Man: "Act according to the previous plan!" ”
Ah Man woke up like a dream, quickly untied the burden and took out a small gong hidden inside, stuffed the burden to Jiang Ru, turned around and ran.
Jiang didn't seem to dare to delay, carried the burden and ran to the thatched umbrella pavilion not far away, took out the water bladder and opened the plug to splash it on the umbrella cover, and then retreated, ignited the fire fold and threw it on the umbrella cover, the thatch soaked in vegetable oil was immediately ignited, and soon the entire thatched umbrella pavilion was engulfed by the tongue of fire.
There are seven or eight such thatched umbrella pavilions by the lake, all of which were built by fishermen near the lake who thought the summer sun was too roasting.
When Jiang seemed to light the second thatched umbrella pavilion, the gong sounded, accompanied by a panicked shout: "Go water, go water-"
Soon the houses not far from the lake were lit up one after another, and men, women, and children ran out with objects containing water.
At this time, people are particularly afraid of walking water, and often people shout that the water is gone, and they will rush out to fight the fire.
Seeing that things were developing as expected, Jiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and even threw the burden in his hand into the fire.
She didn't dare to light too many thatched umbrella pavilions, otherwise it would be a sin to really start a fire.
The sound of struggle in the water gradually weakened, and Jiang seemed to clench his fists and looked there.
After she came back from rebirth, she had thought that she would come here quietly on this night, just wait for Ji Chongyi to jump into the lake and take a bamboo pole and wait, as long as he came out, she would poke it with a bamboo pole to fulfill his wish to be martyred with his sweetheart.
In this way, these two people can turn into butterflies, and she doesn't have to marry and be widowed and then suffer those misfortunes.
But after thinking about it seriously, I still gave up.
Ji Chongyi just didn't like her, but he didn't sin to death, and more importantly, if he died like this, she would have to bear Kefu's reputation.
Reliving a life, although Jiang seems to have seen the false name, it does not mean that he is willing to pay the price for other people's stupid behavior.
So not only can Ji Chongyi not die, but Qiao Niang also has to be saved.
These two people are alive, and she has a reason to withdraw from her relatives openly.
Looking at the two of them rising and falling in the water, Jiang seemed to be nervous.
She is not worried about Ji Chongyi, since Ji Chongyi did not die in the previous life, this time it should still be fine, but Qiao Niang is different.
In the previous life, Qiao Niang's corpse was not fished out.
"It's on fire, it's the lake on fire!" Not far away, shouts could be heard, and the crowd rushed in this direction.
Jiang's tense mind was relieved.
As long as these people rushed over, they could find the two people who had fallen into the water, and she would be able to escape with her whole body.
But at this moment, a strong wind blew, which soon blew onto the surface of the lake, bringing up a stream of air.
Through the bright moonlight, Jiang seemed to clearly see a whirlpool between Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang, and then Qiao Niang sank and never floated again.
Jiang seemed to be nervous, and quickly took off his coat after running to the big stone, revealing a silver-gray tights.
It was a water back sewn from fish skin, shining silver in the moonlight, showing more and more the slender waist of the girl.
The girl quietly entered the water like a mermaid and swam to the sinking position of Qiao Niang.
On an early summer night, the lake was a little cold, caressing the girl's exposed soft skin, which made her shiver.
Jiang seemed to sink into the water, changed his breath halfway and sank again, and he could barely see Qiao Niang floating in the water.
She swam over quickly, reached out and grabbed Qiao Niang's ankle, dragging her towards the lake.
Jiang seems to be only fifteen years old, although the water is good, but the strength is insufficient, and the soaked Qiao Niang seems to weigh a thousand pounds to her.
She bit her lip so hard that she didn't even notice the bleeding from her lower lip, and when she finally reached the lake, she was almost out of strength.
Those who came to fight the fire had already rushed to the lake to fetch water to put out the fire, and Ah Man, who was hiding in the crowd, pinched his throat and shouted: "Look, there are people in the lake!" ”
When everyone heard the reputation, they changed color one after another: "It's not good, someone has fallen into the water!" ”
Soon, people who are proficient in water jumped into the lake one after another to save people.
Jiang seemed to push the unconscious Qiao Niang to the shore, quietly dived into the water and swam to the side, and vaguely heard an exclamation from behind him: "There is another one here!" ”
It didn't take long for Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang to be rescued.
These people who live by the lake have naughty children who carry adults to bathe in the lake, and sometimes there are drowning, and they have their own set of methods on how to rescue the drowning people.
Jiang seemed to swim to the lake from the other side and quietly went ashore, hid behind a tree and watched, and saw the two of them kneeling on the ground to rescue Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang.
Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang quickly spit out a few mouthfuls of water and opened their eyes.
People are rescued, but people hesitate.
This man and woman don't know where they came from, so they can't just take them home.
Ah Man, who had already been advised by Jiang Ru, hid behind people, and shouted in a thick voice: "Hey, this young man is the third son of the Anguo Mansion, let's send people to ask for money!" ”
Ah Man is tall and wears men's clothes, and now people's attention is on Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang, and no one pays much attention to her, but thinks that it is a young man from whose family.
"Is it really the third son of the Anguo Mansion?" When people heard that there was a reward to be asked for, they couldn't help but feel spirited.
Although he didn't expect anything in return when he saved people, who would push it out if he could get a reward?
"I'm not the third son of the Anguo Mansion!" Ji Chongyi spent the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and it took a while to recover his strength, and his face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard people say this.
Kiss the mouth and fall into the lake, shame!
People hesitated again: "Is it really?" ”
The organic spirit man glanced at Ji Chongyi carefully: "This son is wearing good materials, even if he is not the son of Anguo Mansion, he is also from a rich and noble family." ”
Those who were anxious shouted: "It's not easy to know if it's the son of the Anguo Mansion, let's send someone to the Anguo Mansion to ask." ”
Relying on the courage of the people, a few people soon responded, and went to the Anguo Mansion with the proposed person to listen to the news.
The Anguo Mansion had already become a mess at this time, and there were several groups of people sent out to find Ji Chongyi, and when they heard that the third prince had drowned in Moyu Lake, the Duchess of Anguo immediately fainted.
Ji Chongyi's eldest brother, Ji Chongli, ordered the person who came to report the news to lead the way, and led the family straight to Mowei Lake.
Naturally, this movement could not be concealed from the neighbors, and the various prefectures that lived in the same square sent people to inquire about the situation.
Those subordinates are also clever, knowing that the people who asked the Anguo Mansion directly couldn't speak, so they quietly followed behind to the shore of Moyu Lake, casually pulled the people standing by the lake to watch the excitement, and then saw Ji Chongyi, who was wet, and the woman next to him, how could there be anything that he didn't understand.
Oh my God, the third son of the Anguo Mansion actually fell in love with a girl!
