Chapter 236: Undercurrent in the Lake
The group drove for three hours, both people and horses were tired and panicked, and there happened to be a lake in front of them, so Lu Zheng asked the prince to rest here before continuing the journey.
Xiao Zhi glanced at Tao Tao, who was sleeping soundly with the three little tiger cubs, and nodded in response, if he didn't go out of the carriage to breathe, he would be angry to death by the scene in the carriage.
So the group stopped in front of the lake, and Wu Mo consciously took his wolf to drink water and let the wind go, so as not to be an eyesore in front of the prince, so as not to be angry.
Li Xing took his daughter to the lake to wash her face, and she didn't dare to let her daughter touch the prince's moldy head at this time.
The others are even more knowledgeable, anyway, no one dares to stay in front of the prince, for fear of being caught by the prince preaching or something.
The feeling of the carriage stopping was still obvious, and Tao Tao woke up from his sleep not long after, rubbing his eyes with one hand and probing out with the curtain with the other.
"Why did you stop?"
"Are you willing to wake up?" Xiao Zhi's tone was not good.
Lu Zheng swallowed back what he was going to explain, but fortunately he hadn't had time to speak, otherwise he would have been glared at by the prince at this time.
"I didn't let you sleep, you didn't sleep yourself, why don't you look at me now?" Tao Tao couldn't cry or laugh, jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards Xiao Zhi.
She really didn't know what this man was up to, and she didn't ignore him.
The tiger cub followed Tao Tao after getting out of the carriage, and ran to the lake to drink water as soon as he slipped away, and ran around the whole lake when he was done.
They don't run far, as if they know that their master is here and can't run around.
Xiao Zhi: "......"
It seems that he is unreasonable, these three tiger cubs are deliberate, right?!
"Okay, don't stink your face, let's go over and wash your face and sober it up." Tao Tao couldn't help but reach out and grab Xiao Zhi and pull him to the lake.
The lake looks quite clear, and it is in the wild, so the water quality should be clean.
Xiao Zhi symbolically struggled, but did not struggle, and his feet obviously kept up with Tao Tao's speed very sincerely, but he still said stiffly: "Don't pull this king, this king will go by himself!" ”
But when Tao Tao let go of his hand and didn't pull it, he was not happy anymore, Tao Tao immediately understood that this person was purely hard-mouthed, in fact, he wished that she would pull him.
"A duplicitous man is easy to have no daughter-in-law." Tao Tao looked at Xiao Zhi teasingly, and grabbed Xiao Zhi's hand again.
Xiao Zhi sneered coldly, "Who said that this king is duplicitous?" This king does not! ”
"Yes, yes, you don't, the lake is here, wash your face." Tao Tao smiled, let go of his hand, and washed his face first, driving away the remaining sleepy insects.
When she finished washing her face, she raised her eyes and saw that Xiao Zhi hadn't moved, and she was suddenly a little surprised, "What?" Ah Zhi, if you don't do it, are you waiting for me to wash you? ”
"If you want to, it's not impossible, as long as you're not afraid of losing face in front of Lu Zheng and them." After that, Tao Tao was going to wash Xiao Zhi's face with his own hands.
The corners of Xiao Zhi's lips twitched, and he raised his hand to stop him, "No need, this king will come by himself." ”
He's not a child, and Tao Tao really coaxes him as a child now?
"Okay, you can do it yourself." Tao Tao withdrew her hand according to her words, and looked at Xiao Zhi's movements, there was a lot of Xiao Zhi's posture that she was about to do it again.
Xiao Zhi had no choice but to pick up the lake water and wash his face, and the water splashed on his face, which made his feverish brain sober up a lot, and he couldn't help blushing when he remembered his naivety just now.
The person who was jealous of the three little tiger cubs just now was definitely not him!
"Ahem, the water in this lake is so clean, I think the fish in it should be very clean."
"Lu Zheng, go into the water to catch fish!"
"Yes!" What can Lu Zheng do? Of course, I can only do what I am told and take a few people into the water to catch fish.
Originally, there was nothing wrong, but as Lu Zheng and the others continued to go to the center of the lake, something suddenly felt wrong on the lake.
Tao Tao squinted slightly, wondering if he had seen it wrong, he pulled Xiao Zhi to his side, raised his hand and pointed to the center of the lake for Xiao Zhi to see, "Is there a whirlpool in the center of the lake?" ”
"It shouldn't be, Lu Zheng They are moving underwater, there will definitely be fluctuations in the lake, what are you worried about?" Xiao Zhi took a closer look and felt that it was not a whirlpool, so he couldn't help but look back at Tao Tao with amusement.
"This lake was calm just now, and it's not a stream or the sea, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a thing as an undercurrent."
"I understand the reason, but I still feel that something is wrong when I look at the whirlpool in the center of the lake, let's let Lu Zheng and them come back first, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." Tao Tao clenched Xiao's hand.
In case of emergency, Lu Zheng and the guards who went into the water together were dangerous, and they might not survive.
The power of nature, they cannot but be feared.
Xiao Zhi saw that Tao Tao was really worried, so he agreed: "Okay, listen to you." ”
"Lu Zheng, bring someone back! Don't go any further to the center of the lake! ”
"Huh?" At that time, Lu Zheng was chasing a big fish, and he didn't have time to react when he heard the words, and the whole person followed the big fish into the center of the lake.
The next moment, a huge suction force came from under his feet, and Lu Zheng was caught off guard by the suction pull and stumbled, and the whole person sank into the water.
The guards who were in the water together noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to rescue, but they were dragged away one by one, not only did they not save Lu Zheng, but they also took themselves.
Obviously, it was too late for Xiao Zhi to speak out.
They watched Lu Zheng and the others disappear in the center of the lake, and there was no way to remedy it, they were on the shore, and they were too far away.
What's more, the undercurrent in the water is complicated, and its domineering will not give them a chance to react and save people, so in just a few blinks of an eye, Lu Zheng and the others who were originally in the center of the lake disappeared completely.
Tao Tao looked at Xiao Zhi with an ugly face, "That's what you said, isn't it?" ”
“…… I didn't expect that there was really an undercurrent in such a small lake! Xiao Zhi's face was not much better than Tao Tao's, and he immediately stepped into the lake.
Tao Tao hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiao Zhi and glared at him, "What are you doing?!" ”
"Ben Wang went to the center of the lake to have a look." Xiao Zhi couldn't let Lu Zheng and the others disappear like this, this was not his way of doing things.
Tao Taoden was laughed angrily, "The center of the lake just dragged Lu Zheng and a few people away, you have to go over and take a look now, what's the matter?" Do you think that the lake center will not attack you if it recognizes you as a father?! ”
Knowing the danger, you have to go down without doing anything!
"Do you think you've had enough? If so, then you might as well not let me save you in the first place! ”
"This king didn't mean that, it's just that Lu Zheng and they just disappeared in the center of the lake, how do you know what's going on if you don't go to see it?" Xiao Zhi understood Tao Tao's worries, but he couldn't help but go to this lake.
