Chapter 9: A Chance Encounter by the Lake
In the early morning, the chirping of birds woke Wang Zhi. Wang Zhen stood up, stretched comfortably, and took a hard breath of fresh air.
The mud on his face and body had already condensed into mud, sticking to his body and making Wang Zhi very uncomfortable. Wang Zhen packed his luggage and wanted to find a mountain stream or river to take a bath and wash his body well.
The king went around the battlements and came to a hillside with a lake underneath. Asking for the lake to get the lake, Wang Zhen was overjoyed, took his luggage and slid down the hill through a mountain road to the lake. Then Wang Zhen found a sandy place that was convenient for going to the lake, took off his clothes and hid in the grass next to the sandy land with his luggage.
Wang Zhen originally planned to swim naked, but after thinking about it, there was a mountain road by the lake, indicating that there were often pedestrians here, and it was inappropriate to swim naked in broad daylight, so he went down to the lake in his pants.
At first, he felt that the lake was cold, and Wang Zhen kept shivering, and after the activity was opened, his body felt very comfortable. After washing the mud off his body, Wang Zhen swam back and forth for a quarter of an hour, lying on his back on the lake and looking at the sky, feeling the vastness of the sky, and thinking about some of his own problems. He had set himself a goal to marry Miss Xie, he didn't want this goal to become a fantasy, but how to achieve it, he had no clue at the moment. Wang Zhen couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he plunged into the lake and held his breath to think.
At the same time, there was a girl in white on the other side of the mountain road who rode her horse early in the morning, and when she arrived at the sandy land, she let the horse graze, and she enjoyed the scenery by the lake, throwing a sand stone into the lake from time to time.
When she was relaxing and defenseless, the girl saw half of her body suddenly appear on the surface of the lake, and her hair was scattered. The girl thought it was a water monster, screamed, fainted in fright, and fell to the sand.
Wang Zhen was also stunned, he had just floated out of the bottom of the lake to breathe when he heard a scream, and following the sound, a girl in white fell on her back. Wang Zhen was at a loss for a while, but it was important to save people, so he swam back to the shore with his hands and feet and went ashore to save people.
The girl woke up faintly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a naked man with a disheveled hair leaning down in the middle of pinching her own person, and immediately screamed loudly in horror, while crossing her hands to protect her chest.
The girl's scream was so loud that the king's eardrum hurt. Wang Zhen hurriedly stood up, and while gesturing to show that he had no intention of offending the girl, he hurriedly took a few steps back.
The girl calmed down, knowing that he was rescuing herself, and her face flushed slightly with embarrassment, so she asked the king: "You, why did you suddenly emerge from the lake?" I thought it was a water monster. ”
Wang Zhen deliberately said with a displeased face: "Have you ever seen such a handsome water monster?" ”
The girl was amused by him and scolded with a smile: "Stinky and shameless!" Hey, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
Wang asked: "I am thinking at the bottom of the lake. ”
The girl felt very strange and surprised, and looked at Wang Zhen with wide eyes, "How can anyone think about problems at the bottom of the lake?" ”
Wang Zhen pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Yes! I! ”
The girl smiled and asked, "How long have you been at the bottom of the lake?" I didn't even see you when I came. ”
Wang asked: "About a cup of tea." ”
The girl was surprised: "So long? ”
Wang Zhi said: "I often run mountain roads to practice qi, so my lung capacity is a bit large. ”
The girl groaned, and the two fell into a brief silence.
Wang asked: "Your body is too weak, right?" It can scare the hell out of you. ”
The girl said stiffly: "If I see you going down to the lake, you will definitely not be able to scare me." The cloak was scattered, I thought it was a water monster. Monster! Do you understand? ”
Wang Zhi said: "I see that your clothes are of good quality, and you are so weak that you can't help but be windy, you must be the child of a big family, right?" ”
The girl immediately crossed her hands to protect her chest, and asked Wang Zhen in horror: "You, you touched it just now, touched ...... it."
Wang Zhen thought it was funny in his heart, and thought that this girl was very interesting, so he said to her funny: "I am a sweetheart, so I will not have any bad thoughts about you, an ugly bastard." ”
The girl immediately said angrily: "You are the ugly monster, your whole family is ugly." ”
Wang Zhen smiled without saying a word, walked to the grass, picked up the clothes and luggage hidden here, turned around and smiled and said to the girl, "I'll go to the woods in front to change clothes!" Don't peek! ”
The girl was so angry that her face turned red and she said loudly: "Who wants to see it! You pervert! ”
Wang Zhen changed his clothes, straightened his hair, and found that there were wild fruits on the tree, only to remember that he had not eaten breakfast yet, and he was very hungry after swimming, so he climbed to the tree to pick wild fruits to eat.
At this moment, Wang Zhen suddenly heard a frightened and rapid cry for help: "Help ......!" ”
The voice stopped abruptly, but Wang Zhen heard that the voice was from the girl just now, and the voice was also coming from the direction of the sand by the lake.
Wang Zhen immediately jumped off the tree and threw away the fruit in his hand, took out the dagger from his luggage, and chased after him to take a look. The girl's horse was still grazing on the edge of the lake, but the girl herself was gone.
Wang Zhen leaned down on the sand to look for traces of the fight, identified the direction in the messy footprints, pulled the horse over and flew on the horse, and chased after the horse.
After chasing for about a mile, Wang Zhen saw one or two carriages in front of him, so he stepped up his horse and approached. The road was a mountain road, and the road was narrow, which was not suitable for horse-drawn carriages, so the carriages in front of it were moving very slowly.
Seeing that someone was catching up behind, the people in the carriage knew that they could not outrun the pursuers behind them on the mountain road, so they stopped the carriage and stood behind the carriage with their blades in hand and waited for the king to come.
Wang Zhen looked closely at the horse from a distance, and there were two people on the other side: a scholar dressed as a scholar and holding a long sword; The other wore a waistcoat and was open and held two judge's pens. Wang Zhen didn't move on the horse, and looked at the two from a distance.
The two men glanced at each other, and together they rushed towards the king with their blades. When they were near, he reined in his horse's head and ran back. Seeing that they had driven away Wang Qian, the two sneered and walked back to the carriage to continue their journey.
Who knew that Wang Zhen saw them get into the carriage and chase after them, so the two had to get out of the carriage and prepare to fight. However, Wang Zhen just can't come, and the two can't catch up with the horse.
There was a stalemate like this for a while, and the scholar-like man said to the man in the vest: "Brother Tai, you drive the carriage first, and I will break it off." Wait until I kill this coward, and then I will catch up with him on horseback. ”
The man in the vest said hello and returned to the carriage and drove away.
The scholar stood in the center of the mountain road with his sword in his hand, and said loudly to the king: "The people are gone, don't you come to chase them?" ”
Wang Zhen urged the horse to approach, flew off the horse, drew a dagger and faced the scholar.
The scholar sneered: "Boy, don't you run away this time?" ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "I've thought about it, it's all death anyway, it's better to fight." ”
The scholar sneered: "Good! I'm going to make your death less painful. ”
The scholar stabbed Wang Zhen in the heart with his sword, and Wang Zhen raised his dagger to resist. Who knew that the scholar's sword stab was a false move, and the sword body swung a sword flower and wrapped it around Wang Zhi's arm. Wang Zhen took two steps back in shock, raised his right hand and saw that his sleeve had been cut.
The scholar said appreciatively: "Your kid's escape is really good." I thought I had just done away with your right hand. ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”
