211 Boiling Tang River Tide
Cheng Xueyan stood up suddenly, the cloisonnΓ© enamel tea cup was poured on the case, and the tea poured straight onto the apricot blossom satin flat-toed embroidered shoes, but she didn't notice it at all.
But after only standing for a while, he slowly sat down again, straightened the tea cup, and didn't look at Bitong.
Bi Tong was in a hurry, and her speech was no longer serious: "The third son's life is at stake, and the girl is still sitting so steadily?" β
His fingertips trembled, but he didn't do anything: "You will say this to coax me." β
"How can I have time to coax the girl? Today, the tide of the Boiling Tang River is rising, and many people are going to make the tide, just to catch the dzi mussels, and the third prince also went to ......"

"Is he crazy? Short of silver? β
The carriage was galloping, but Cheng Xueyan was still too slow.
"Why is there a lack of silver? Did the girl forget that giving the purple dzi to her beloved could lead to the marriage of three lives and three lives? β
It's just a legend, you idiot!
Cheng Xueyan bit her lip, but suddenly smiled, who said that this purple dzi must have been given to her?
Although I thought so, I still couldn't help but open the curtain and look out again and again......

The embankment of the Boiling Tang River was already crowded with people, and the cheers mixed with the roar of the tide were deafening.
The tide of the Boiling Tang River rises day by day, but only the tide before the Buddha Bathing Festival is the most majestic, and the priceless dzi mussels only come to the imperial capital from the legendary Tianhai with this tide. So on this day, the tide masters from all over the country gathered here, some wanted to make a fortune from the dzi mussels, and more wanted to compete with other masters and show their style. Although it is said that the dzi mussel has infinite charm, but there are very few people who can get it every time, and more often than not, they get nothing, but every time the tide ends, the heroes will be happy. Therefore, it is well deserved to say that the dzi mussel is related to marriage. It's just that the legend has been passed down for so long, but few people have actually seen it, so the story about the dzi mussel has become more and more magical.
Bi Tong said that Gu Haoxuan has excellent water quality, and he is a famous tide maker in Dijing, and he can hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour. may be because he has no distractions, so he has won one after another, attracting the favor of countless women. Later, Gu Taiwei was worried that his son would be buried underwater, so he locked him in a small black room at this time of year and sent someone to guard him strictly......
The master and servant hurriedly rushed to the embankment, but those mortal bodies seemed to have made a solid soup that water could not splash into, no matter how hard they tried and how they shouted, they couldn't shake it, everyone commented on this year's event with great interest, guessing which one would win the championship, Cheng Xueyan picked up the name "Gu Haoxuan" at a certain moment, her heart trembled, and she squeezed in harder, but it was still in vain, but she was pushed around.
Suddenly, as if thunder roared, the whole ground shook. Listening carefully, it turned out that the gongs and drums were all around, and the voices were shouting, but for a while, the sound of the tide rising was changed.
Cheng Xueyan didn't know why, she lost her mind slightly, but she heard Bitong tremble and said: "They went into the water......"
Her feet were soft and she almost fell, but Bitong hurriedly held her.
I couldn't see anything, I saw the excited backs moving around in front of me, and I only heard hoarse voices cheering or cursing. Surrounded by a turbid atmosphere, mixed with the increasingly thick smell of water, it was suffocating.
Bi Tong wanted to help her go to the side to rest: "The girl will go to the pavilion over there to rest first, don't huddle with these rough people, be careful, when the tide will ebb, you will naturally know the result......"
Cheng Xueyan stubbornly guarded.
Bitong had no choice, so she had to change her trick: "Although the pavilion is far away, the location is high, and it is better to see it clearly than here......"
This really deceived the girl and took two steps in that direction, but at this moment, suddenly the crowd burst into a few exclamations and retreated again and again. But it was too late, and even through the dense crowd, you could still see a huge wave of the city wall sweeping into the air and smashing all over the sky.
The shout turned into a shout in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a scream: "Someone has fallen into the water......"
The impregnable crowd scattered in a blink of an eye, countless people fell in the process of fleeing for their lives, and were trampled by those who ran around, and then the huge waves hit again, and people screamed and were dragged into the river by the hideous claws.
Fortunately, they are far away from the crowd, so they can run to the high place relatively smoothly. Cheng Xueyan couldn't help but look back. I saw the white waves raging and roaring, and I couldn't see the flag of the so-called tide boat, let alone a person.
If that's the case on the shore, then ......
Suddenly, he shook off Bitong's hand and ran straight to the embankment.
Bi Tong was startled, and chased after her before she had time to react, but she saw a snow-white figure floating towards the girl like a cloud......
Droplets splashed and mud splattered. As she was running, she suddenly felt someone grab her arm and pull her back. She didn't even look at the man, she just struggled to run forward. The manpower was very strong, and she did not show weakness, and she couldn't hold on to each other on the spot, and when she saw the waves crashing on the shore again and splashing a few feet, she finally became anxious, and opened her mouth to bite the arm fiercely......
Even if there is such chaos around him, even if there is a fishy smell all around, he still sees a fresh and dazzling snow white in front of him, but it is gradually spreading a little red, and it is still expanding...... I can still smell a faint sweet fragrance, which is an otherworldly breath that cannot be erased by the chaos of the world, refreshing and refreshing. But the moment she woke up, the force that was clenched suddenly disappeared, and the moment she raised her eyes, all that was left was countless fleeing figures......
The tide came and went fast, and in the blink of an eye, the tide had lost its arrogance, but it still roared unstoppably, slapping the waves on the shore and splashing a few feet high in a bluff.
Cheng Xueyan was only stunned for a moment, then pulled out her legs and ran to the shore, and at the same time, some people who were not afraid of death surrounded her one after another.
The tide gradually subsided, and the entire river surface was turbulent and tumbling like boiling water. A few small boats swung on the water like driftwood, and the flags faded like petals torn by a storm, and they were powerless to float.
The people who were swept into the water have come ashore one after another, or have been rescued by others, all in horror, lying or leaning on and gasping.
One by one, the tide makers swam out of the river.
Some people rushed forward, or asked for warmth, or inquired about the whereabouts of the rest, but they were exhausted one by one, and how could they have time to care about others? It is only said that this year's tide was extremely fierce and almost killed.
People all went ashore one after another, and those who knew each other counted the number of people, and they were glad that nothing was lost.
Cheng Xueyan's mood became more and more nervous, because after she looked over one by one, she didn't find Gu Haoxuan, and the more she searched carefully, the more flustered she became.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "There is another person on the river......
I looked over in a hurry, but I saw only a small dot, which floated twice and sank again.
I don't know who has a keen eye and a discerning eye, swept around, and suddenly found that an important person was missing, so he tore his neck and shouted: "It's Gu Sangongzi, Gu Sangongzi hasn't come up yet......"
While shouting, he jumped into the river.
In an instant, anyone who could move their legs and knew how to move the water jumped in like dumplings, you know, Gu Taiwei's third son is now the living dzi mussel in their minds.
A group of mermaids swam towards the place where the small black dot had disappeared, and they all lost their bodies and went underwater to look for them.
The people on the shore were sweating.
In previous years, this day was also incomparable, but it was not as fierce and critical as this year, as if it was an important mission to recall something. Seeing that no matter who knew how to water or not, they all went ashore unharmed, and only Gu Sangongzi disappeared. In the past, his water nature was the best among the people, and some people gave him the title of "King of Fish" in order to please him, but he deserved it. The third prince has been silent for three years in this tide, and suddenly made a comeback this year, and then caught up with this danger, will it be......
The discussion was popular, but at first it was still buzzing, and after a while, it was boiling, and finally a new legend was created.
Cheng Xueyan became more and more flustered, and her eyes only stared at the whirlpool on the water.
At this moment, the tide has receded, the water level has dropped, and the water surface is calm, but it is so calm that it is overwhelming.
Bi Tong held her hand and said vigorously, "It's okay, it's okay......"
Someone on the surface of the water showed his head, but he re-pierced.
The heart became colder, and there was a trance in front of her, as if the water suddenly turned into a huge curtain and pressed against her......
"Found it, found ......"
I don't know who shouted.
Bi Tong hurriedly shook her arm and said in a trembling voice, "Found it...... Girl, found ......."
When his mind turned, his heart suddenly rose with joy, and then he was blown away by the cold wind on the river.
Got it...... What was found?
A few black dots surfaced on the surface of the river, the one in front seemed to be carrying a heavy object, moving slowly, but it was struggling forward, and the few behind were actively chasing, intending to move the heavy object to their side.
After a while, it seemed like a fight.
Someone on the shore hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, everyone has a reward......"
The men swam towards the shore in an orderly manner.
The distance was still far away, and she couldn't see the appearance of the person who was half-floating on the water, and before she could see it clearly, the crowd suddenly surrounded her, squeezing Cheng Xueyan, whose legs were already stiff and numb, behind her, and the chaos smashed into her ears.
It's nothing more than how to carry out the rescue, each with a strange move, and go into battle in person, for fear that the reward will leak out of him.
After most of the busy work, everything suddenly quieted down.
Woke up?
No one answered, only the sound of the river.
Bi Tong also seemed to lose her breath, and the hand holding her was stiff and cold.
There was no order, but the crowd began to slowly disperse, so a drenched person pierced into the eye little by little.
He lay there quietly, mud and sand clinging to his lean body.
She didn't even know how she had moved to the man.
Just those two long eyebrows like unsheathed swords were enough to make her no longer have any luck.
But he looked like he was asleep, if you ignore the unheaving chest.
