Chapter 23: Ice Picking
Because it is adjacent to the lake, the water source is abundant, and the climate is more suitable, so the plum blossoms here are more colorful than elsewhere, and for two women who like plum blossoms very much, this place has naturally become a must-visit.
They came to the plum orchard by the lake, where the plum blossoms were not only bright but also lush, with branches and leaves of plum trees connected together, and in some places so lush that they obscured the blue sky.
There are also some branches stretched out, all the way to the lake, like a graceful dancer, on the surface of the lake, the flowers and branches are spread, extremely gorgeous.
Unconsciously, the sun has risen in the sky, the dazzling sunlight makes people's eyes hurt, Wanqing only felt dizzy, but because he was in a bad state in the morning, he thought that he didn't sleep well last night, so he didn't care too much.
Cheng Ning'er naturally looked at it, she walked quickly to Wanqing's side, and asked with concern, "Sister Wanqing, what's wrong?" Any discomfort? ”
Shuang'er has always been alert, and when she heard it, she immediately greeted her, helped Wanqing and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Her voice was slightly crying, because Wanqing's face was actually amazingly white, and a pair of originally charming eyes became empty and confused at some point.
Hearing Shuang'er's voice trembling slightly, she knew that she must be nervous, but Wanqing smiled faintly, took Shuang'er's hand and said: "You girl, you just like to be surprised, I don't have anything to do, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." ”
"Really?" Shuang'er asked suspiciously, Wanqing's personality she knows the Tao, she has always been competitive, and now that Cheng Ning'er is present, it will be rude to leave the guests, and she will never do this.
Cheng Ning'er looked at Wanqing's pale face, and also showed that she was very worried, so she said: "Sister doesn't have to worry about sister, if you are really unwell, go back to the room to rest quickly!" ”
Wanqing rubbed her dizzy forehead, but it was much clearer, presumably she was no longer sad, so she smiled and replied: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine, maybe the sunshine is too strong, but after a cool breeze just now, I'm much better." ”
"Oh, that's good." Hearing her say this, Cheng Ning'er seemed to be much more relieved, and exhaled a long sigh of relief, with a hint of distress in her eyes.
"Sister, don't have a worried expression, Wanqing is really fine." Seeing that Cheng Ning'er didn't seem to be happy, she thought that she was still worried about herself, so she was relieved a few more words.
Although there is no expression on his face, the corners of his mouth finally have a good-looking curvature, but no matter how you look at it, Cheng Ning'er's smile is actually very far-fetched.
When Wanqing saw it, she knew it in her heart, but she didn't want to always dwell on this matter, so she thought about changing the topic, "Sister, look, how beautiful the plum blossoms are by the lake." As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Ning'er closer to the lake.
"My sister is very right." Cheng Ning'er catered to her, and immediately, a trace of green light quickly flashed in her eyes, "If you can pick a few back and put them in a vase to watch, there will definitely be a different flavor." ”
"Oh? My sister also thinks the same? Wanqing listened to it and smiled happily, she had this intention but didn't dare to do it, after all, this is Feng Qiuyin's mansion, but she didn't dare to make a mistake as a lady, because she didn't dare to mess with Feng Qiuyin's character.
But now with Cheng Ning'er's support, it's different, after all, Feng Qiuyin still loves Ning'er deeply, she knows the truth, just pick a few flowers, he won't blame Ning'er.
Thinking of this, she happily walked towards the lake.
But this move really frightened Shuang'er, although the lake has frozen in winter, but whether it is frozen is not known, tonight Qing is going to the lake to pick flowers, then it is okay, for a while, she can't care about anything else, suddenly pulled back Wanqing, and said hurriedly: "Miss, don't do it, the ice on the lake has not frozen." ”
Who knows, Wanqing didn't think so, and said with a gentle smile: "You girl, when did you become such a mother-in-law, don't worry, this lake is very cold, yesterday, I saw the general practicing swords on this lake." Wanqing said for sure, yesterday she did see Feng Qiuyin practicing swords here, as if chic, she couldn't help but think of the ice and snow world in the 21st century, so nostalgic, but she didn't know that Feng Qiuyin was a person who practiced martial arts, as light as a swallow, and the speed was so fast.
"But ......" Shuang'er was still a little uneasy, and it could be seen that Wanqing insisted that it was not good to say anything more.
Cheng Ning'er didn't seem worried, but she said to Shuang'er with a calm face: "You can rest assured, since the generals have been here before, it is natural to come and have nothing to do, you must know that the general's weight is much heavier than your young lady." ”
"Having said that, but ......" Shuang'er was still chattering, but the next second, he let out an amazing scream, only to see that there was no figure of Wanqing around him, and then looked at the lake, Wanqing was already standing on the surface of the lake, and a small hand that was slightly red from the cold was trying to reach the plum blossom that was blooming very brightly.
Cheng Ning'er was anxiously commanding on the shore, and the voice in her mouth was indeed louder than one, "Wanqing, be careful, point to the left, no, and then ...... to the right."
Shuang'er was actually frightened, her mouth was open but she couldn't make a sound, her heart was pounding, as loud as a drum, but she could hear it clearly.
"Hey, Shuang'er, why are you here alone?" At this moment, Hongmei hurriedly came, but she didn't see Wanqing, she was very sympathetic in her heart, this girl, wouldn't she also be disgusted by Mrs. and deliberately dumped off, right?
"Sister Hongmei, you're here!" Seeing Hongmei, Shuang'er seemed to see a life-saving straw, and pounced on it, crying: "Sister Hongmei, you should think of a way, Miss insists on picking plum blossoms, Shuang'er really can't persuade her!" ”
When Hongmei heard this, she didn't feel inappropriate at first, but when she saw the figure on the lake, her whole heart suddenly hung up.
Strode forward to the shore and shouted, "Madame, what are you doing there, the lake is dangerous, come up quickly!" ”
Hearing Hongmei's call, Wanqing just smiled slightly, beckoned casually, and replied equally loudly: "It's soon, I'm about to pick it soon." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw her suddenly pick up again, and finally picked the plum blossom, but I didn't want a dizziness to strike, so that she almost fell, Hongmei jumped for life, wanted to pull her, but after all, it was a step too late, but the lake was cracked, only to hear a "click", and Wanqing fell into the ice cave.
"Madame......" Hongmei exclaimed, wanting to fall into the water to rescue, but saw a white Xinchang flashing and falling into the water, Shuang'er and Cheng Ning'er on the shore shouted for help, and soon attracted many subordinates.
They skillfully tied the rope and brought the ladder, and before they could go to the rescue, two people soon floated on top of the ice cave, and Hongmei recognized that the person was Feng Qiuyin.
She was quick-eyed, grabbed Wanqing's hand with one hand, grabbed the rope thrown by everyone with the other, and with the help of everyone, pulled the two of them to the shore.
