132 Sunken Pond
Li Wenhao nodded, even if he couldn't look down on Hua Ronghua anymore, he wouldn't borrow someone at this time, except for Gongxi Chu's face, it was not even the people under his own rule, if something really went wrong, it would be worth the loss!
Gong Xichu left in a hurry with the people, and Steward Li entered the house and asked his lord, "What to do with the two who are kneeling?" Is the board still playing? ”
Li Wenhao glanced at Aunt Wang, and waved his hand impatiently, "Let's take it first, and wait for a letter from Achu's side." ”
——
At this time, Hua Ronghua, who was speculated by everyone that something might happen to him, was about to go crazy.
It turned out that when Hua Ronghua came out of the county seat, he thought that he would go to the woods to let the horses have a good meal first.
After entering the city for nearly a day and a night, she only fed the horse some green vegetables, thinking of this Hua Ronghua It was difficult to hide the guilt in her heart, this horse was obviously given to herself, but she didn't know how to take care of it, except that the ride was taken care of by Mo Yan, and she forgot to prepare food for the horse when she entered the city twice.
It seems that when you go back, you should take the scriptures well, so that one day the horses will starve to death in your hands.
Because of the idea of letting the horse eat, Hua Ronghua did not keep walking along the official road, she picked a place where the grass was relatively fresh and tender, and went down the official road.
The jujube red horse finally ate the delicious grass, and he was more happy, but the more he ate, the farther away from the official road, Hua Ronghua broke the branch and put it on the ground to make a mark, afraid that he would get lost when he came back in a while. Her practice of believing in the reins of the horse was that the last person came to a waterhole and stopped.
"I said, where did you take me, stinky horse?" Hua Ronghua patted the horse's neck and said slightly annoyed.
The horse snorted, rubbed on Hua Ronghua's body affectionately, and then ran to the waterhole to drink water.
"Ugh." Hua Ronghua sighed, although she was a little timid in the open wilderness, but when she thought about it, she still had a jujube red horse to accompany her, and her kung fu during these days was not practiced in vain, and the lesson to Aunt Wang's sister and brother gave her a lot of confidence.
Thinking about it like this, my nervous heart relaxed, and I had the heart to look around.
This waterhole is very large, covering an area of about 200 square meters, standing on the edge of the pool, you can't see the bottom of the water, the water should be very deep, from the high place in the west there is a large stream of water flowing into the pool, and then a small stream of water from the east gap to form a small stream slowly flowed out.
There is a circle of aquatic plants growing around the waterhole, especially on my side, which is more abundant, and the opposite side is more sparse, and most of them are relatively short. There is a forest not far from here, but there is a small road on the opposite side, and standing on the stones, there are some houses in the distance, is this waterhole near the village?
Knowing that there were people nearby, Hua Ronghua was even more relieved, and the jujube red horse drank enough water and began to gnaw on the side again.
The bored Hua Ronghua found a stone in the shade of a tree to sit down and wait, and inadvertently suddenly caught a glimpse of a touch of red in the grass on the side.
Pushing aside the grass to find it, Hua Ronghua almost didn't jump, the strawberry turned out to be a wild strawberry! A few red particles, large and small, trembled behind the fat green leaves, causing her to drool. I couldn't wait to pick one and stuff it into my mouth, uh, it was so sour, it was so sour that it still had a hint of sweetness.
Although it is not pure sweet, it also has a different taste, and Hua Ronghua, who has never eaten fruit since he crossed over, is simply comparable to a peach.
I looked around and found that there were still a lot of wild strawberries under the trees not far away.
"Ah, get rich, get rich!" Hua Ronghua clenched his fists fiercely, he had already imagined how much money he would make by selling these strawberries, it was best to move the strawberries to the vicinity of the wooden house, and then there would be a ripe strawberry field next year, and then that would be the origin of his own road to prosperity!
"Ahem!" Hua Ronghua woke up from the dream of making a fortune, looked left and right carefully and found that there was no one else, so he went to the big purse he was carrying, took out a handkerchief to pick all the strawberries on the seedlings and wrapped them in the handkerchief.
It's just that the handkerchief was filled quickly, and in the end, Hua Ronghua ruthlessly moved the contents of the purse to the mezzanine, using the outside space as a tool for storing strawberries.
After the strawberries in the vicinity were picked, Hua Ronghua took off his coat and used it to hold the strawberry seedlings that had been dug up, but because he had no tools, he only used stones to dig up several seedlings.
"Oops, I'm exhausted." Hua Ronghua straightened his waist and patted the dirt on his body, only then did he find that he had walked into the forest for a while, and he was already far away from the jujube red horse, so he hurriedly ran back and sat on the stone and panted, feeling a little worried.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a high-pitched and invulnerable voice faintly from the opposite side of the waterhole, and it suddenly became noisy.
Hua Ronghua stood on the stone in surprise and watched, but his eyes widened.
I saw a crowd of villagers coming from the opposite side, men, women and children, old men in cotton robes, men with patches on linen clothes, and big girls and little daughters-in-law in simple clothes, all of them scolding at an object, and even some spitting and throwing stones there.
It was a big bamboo basket that was scolded and beaten, really big, as long as a person, motionless. I vaguely heard the villagers scolding the words "*", "slut" and "deserving of the pig cage".
Dipping pig cage? That's the pig cage! So inside the big bamboo basket was a man, a woman who was about to drown!
Hua Ronghua stood on the stone and stretched his neck to look at the other side, hesitating in his heart, these ordinary people are going to kill people in front of him! Although he saw Gongxi Chu kill people when he was taken away last time, the one who was killed was planning to commit murder and kill himself, and he was innocent of death; And now it is an innocent ordinary person who is going to be killed, even if there is a problem with his style, he will not be killed!
Especially when she thought that she was so mixed with Gongxi Chu, what if she was also soaked in a pig cage one day? So now I want to save the woman who is going to be drowned, and my thoughts are very strong, as if I have saved myself in this way.
But how to save it?
Ran over and told those villagers that killing people is illegal? But as far as Hua Ronghua knows, the clan rules and village rules did have this right to deal with the life and death of unchaste women in ancient times, and they fought against so many people by themselves? She knew that it was not Zhuge Liang who had no tongue and the ability to fight the Confucians.
The old man in the cotton robe on the opposite side had already begun to speak, and his voice came faintly, about 'Liu An's family can't keep the festival for her deceased husband, adultery with her cousin, and instigated her cousin to kill her mother-in-law, the crime is unforgivable, and she will sink into the pond to correct the village style. Something like that. The old man should have read a book, and at this moment he was shaking his head and saying something like a great power woman and a virtuous woman to reprimand those women in the village.
Hua Ronghua glared at the old man on the other side hatefully, and scolded, "Fart!" "It's a loss that the two places are far away, and the water and grass here are high, which hides the figure of her and the horse, and most of the attention of the people on the other side is focused on the pig cage, otherwise, I'm afraid that the old man is really annoyed.
Or rush over to knock down the villagers and rescue the woman who is about to sink in the pond? Hehe, although Hua Ronghua has a little confidence in her three-legged cat kung fu, but with dozens of enemies, she is really not so sure!
Why don't you go back to Zhuangzi and find someone to help or go to Yamen to report the case? But will the person who waits for a helper die?
Thinking about it, I don't think it's appropriate to go to Hua Ronghua, and now there is only one last way left, jump into the water and unlock the pig cage to save people!
Thinking of a good way, she began to take off her clothes, the upper body coat is used to wrap strawberry seedlings, only the underwear and bra are left, and she can't take them off anymore, and the lower body takes off the outer pants, and the remaining underwear and underwear, two days ago, the weather is hot and she plans to take off the underwear, thanks to not taking it off, or you have to wear a three-point style when you go into the water, in case you see yourself also up, directly sink.
Hua Ronghua pulled his hair back again, picked up a sharp stone from the ground, and quietly opened the aquatic weeds and sank into the water quietly.
As soon as she entered the water, she heard someone on the other side shouting 'sinking pond', and then with a pop, the bamboo cage was lifted and thrown into the pool.
Hua Ronghua took a deep breath and slowly dived.
Hua Ronghua didn't know how deep the waterhole was, but she knew that it was dark and swarthy at a glance, and it felt extremely scary, and by the sun's rays reflected overhead, she could barely see that the bamboo cage on the opposite side was sinking rapidly, and there were a large number of water bubbles constantly rising up.
Using the dog planer style he learned in swimming lessons, Hua Ronghua swam to the opposite side as fast as he could, and caught the bamboo cage before it sank to the bottom.
But Hua Ronghua overestimated her strength, not only did she not drag the bamboo cage away, but was pulled to the bottom of the pond and sank.
Hua Ronghua followed the reverse force but almost choked on the water, so she took the sharp stone to cut the knotted rope at the mouth of the bamboo cage, and finally cut the rope, she almost had to hold her breath, comforted herself in her heart, held on a little longer, held on a little longer, and used her last strength to drag the woman who was tied hand and foot to swim towards the opposite bank.
Hua Ronghua finally came out of the water before his lungs exploded, lying on the shore and gasping for a long time, looking at the woman he had saved with his life but he was motionless, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, could it be that after spending a long time, the person died?
Looking back, she could still see the backs of the people in the village, Hua Ronghua didn't dare to shout, hurriedly climbed ashore and dragged the person behind the aquatic weeds, and patted her face, "Hey, are you still alive?" ”
Hua Ronghua untied the fly ropes tied to her hands and feet, and called softly, but the person did not respond at all.
"Hey." Hua Ronghua carefully probed her snort, but her breathing was gone, and then she saw that her lower abdomen was slightly raised, thinking that she had poured a lot of water.
Hua Ronghua hurriedly turned the person over, put his knees on her stomach, and pushed her hands on her back from the bottom to the top, and after a while, the rescued woman spit out several mouthfuls of water.
Seeing that the little belly was flat, but the person didn't wake up, Hua Ronghua was a little anxious, and hurriedly used all the first aid knowledge he had learned, which was artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and finally heard the rescued woman cough and breathe.
"Oh my god, you're awake, you're going to exhaust me." Hua Ronghua saw that she finally opened her eyes, and finally put her mind at ease.
