Chapter 269: The Man Who Fell into the Water
"The river on the shore is quite gentle, but I don't know the depth. Xia Zhi glanced back, and the two accompanying servants were still standing far away next to the carriage, and they didn't look like they would launch a surprise attack for the time being, so they were relieved and put the paper boat with Zhao Yushan.
Light the candle and put it on the paper boat, Xia Solstice gently put it on the river, push it out, the paper boat slowly floats towards the center of the river, and then flows down the water. The two paper boats flickered one after the other, flickering and drifting away, carrying hopes and blessings down the river, conveying thoughts and expectations.
Mrs. Zhao is still slowly burning paper money, babbling about something, and it looks like it will not end for a while. Zhao Yushan squatted by the river, looking at the river in a daze. The summer solstice is accompanied by the attention to the surrounding environment, and the mood may be much more complicated than that of everyone present.
Zhao Yushan suddenly spoke,
Xia Zhi explained, although he had never experienced such feelings in person, but comforting and explaining was originally to speak to the person in front of him, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Zhao Yushan gushed endlessly.
originally thought she was just a pampered rich lady with no heart and lungs, but under the innocent and lively appearance, she actually thought about nothing less. Xia Zhi listened quietly by the side, occasionally saying a few words in response. In fact, Zhao Yushan just wanted to find someone who could say such things to talk to. After saying all the words, she can better let go and continue her heartlessness.
Xia Zhi felt that this was very good, and if he kept suppressing it, he might collapse one day.
Mrs. Zhao shouted.
Zhao Yushan stood up and ran up the stairs.
Could this be to transfer Zhao Yushan away and act better? Xia Zhi's nerves immediately tensed, to run or not to run? But in her current position, unless she throws herself into the river, there is no other way to run. The two little guys on the shore happened to look over here, and Xia Zhi subconsciously leaned under the shadow of the tree next to him, deceiving himself and wanting to hide his figure. Stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the river water, the river water at night is even colder, if the whole body is soaked in it, it is estimated that it can be frozen!
Wait, what strange touch was on your hand just now? After the summer solstice, I felt a little aftertaste, like the feeling of being entangled. Can seaweed algae still be cultivated by this riverside? The more I resisted, the more I wanted to see it, and Xia Zhi was defeated by this rebellious mentality, squinting his eyes and looking into the river.
At night, the river is not real, and it is covered by the shade of trees, and it becomes more and more black. But upon closer inspection, you can see a darker mass of objects, the edges of which are fluttering like seaweed.
Xia Zhi swallowed his saliva, and reached out to fish it out with courage, and sure enough, it was still the touch just now, and this time it was finally recognized, this is human hair is correct. In other words, under this shadow, there may be a dead man who has been soaked for an unknown amount of time!
Xia Zhi's legs were weak in fright, and he subconsciously retracted his hand. As a result, a miserable white palm suddenly stretched out from the river and directly grabbed Xia Zhi's wrist. The weight of strength is not at all something that Xia Solstice can break free.
Then an even whiter bloodless face appeared in front of him, with wet hair sticking to his cheeks, which was very terrifying. I saw that the man seemed to have spent a lot of effort to squeeze out two words, and then fainted weakly, and his body slowly began to decline.
Xia Zhi's screams were still choked in his throat, and the first time he was glad that this was not a dead person. However, the force on his wrist gradually decreased, and the man soaked back in the river again, and it probably didn't take long for this to be a veritable dead man. The summer solstice shadow aggravated, and he grabbed the man's arm with his backhand and pulled him to the shore with all his might.
With great effort, he dragged the man's upper body out of the water, and first probed his nose and breathed faintly. The pulse is weak, the body is shiny, and if you leave it alone, it is estimated that there is only a dead end. Brushing away the hair on his face and checking whether there is a foreign body in his mouth blocking his breathing, Xia Zhi looked at this person's face, inexplicably familiar.
Zhao Yushan, who turned back, saw Xia Zhi fiddling with a person who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and screamed in fright, and the paper money in his hand fell to the ground.
Mrs. Zhao asked nervously.
Xia Zhi made a silent gesture at Zhao Yushan, who nodded stunnedly, and then reluctantly replied,
Mrs. Zhao admonished, as if she had put her mind at ease.
Zhao Yushan picked up the paper money, sprinkled it indiscriminately into the river, and then squatted down next to the summer solstice to cover her.
Summer solstice short answer.
Zhao Yushan patted his chest, looking frightened,
The summer solstice flickered, involving the two elders, and it was not necessarily a good thing to be an official person.
Zhao Yushan asked uneasily.
The two worked together to drag the unidentified man who had fallen into the water to shore and let him lie flat on the stairs. There are not many people on the riverside, and even the fishing boats on the river are swinging far away, and no one will find out about his existence for a while and a half, so it is safe for the time being.
Mrs. Zhao seems to have burned the paper money and intends to go this way.
Zhao Yushan spoke, and the two hurriedly walked up the stairs, joined the Zhao family, packed up their things and left together. “
