Chapter 9: Seeing the Light of Day Again

Zhao Mingding jumped on the high platform, like a cannonball, crossed the beach and fell straight into the water, but the posture was not elegant enough, so he heard the sound of "plopping", the water splashed, and the whole person was like a heavy stone, sinking straight to the bottom of the water. Zhao Mingding stroked his legs and kicked his legs, and was about to surface, when he felt that his body was pulled and rotated by an invisible hand, and he couldn't escape, and then he realized that he had encountered an undercurrent vortex again, and he gave up the useless struggle, as if he was caught in the vortex at the beginning, he began to relax all over his body, adjust his breathing, and keep the dantian, at the moment when he was inhaled into the center of the whirlpool, his eyes were slightly closed, the tip of his tongue lightly touched the palate, his teeth were gently bitten, he held his breath, and he carried out the fetal breath work, allowing his body to rotate rapidly with the undercurrent. It's like a spinning top spinning at high speed, but I don't know when and where it will surface this time, and what kind of opportunities it will have.

Zhao Mingding's whole body relaxed, his eyes were slightly closed, he held on to one, only to feel that his body was like a high-speed spinning top, rotating with the undercurrent, like riding a roller coaster, high and low, left and right, and I don't know how long it took, the speed of the flowing water finally slowed down and gradually became gentle, with an exclamation in his ears, a pair of slender hands reached over, lifted him from the water, opened his eyes, and met Zhao Mingding's eyes with a pair of surprised apricot eyes full of tears, and the goose egg-shaped face pet was blown red by the cold river breeze to add more beauty, it was the girl who sold radishes that he helped, who rowed a small boat alone to rescue herself from the river.

"Take off your wet clothes!" As soon as Wei Jiumei saw Zhao Mingding open her eyes, knowing that her life was worry-free, her face was swept away, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, stretched out her hands to help him undress, Zhao Mingding was excited, hurriedly sat up, and said, "Don't don't, I'll come by myself!" ”

While Zhao Mingding was undressing, Wei Jiumei handed over towels and cotton blankets from the cabin, as well as a set of men's cotton clothes and pants and underwear.

"My name is Zhao Mingding, may I ask what is your name, sister?" Zhao Mingding asked, and at the same time wrapped his body in a cotton blanket, took off all the wet clothes and pants on his body, dried his body with a dry towel, and prepared to change into the clothes and pants given by Wei Jiumei.

"My name is Wei Jiumei, a native of Luojia Village, Wanhe Township. Thank you Brother Zhao for saving your life! Wei Jiumei said, knelt down in the narrow cabin, and kowtowed three times to Zhao Mingding.

"Hey, don't do that!" Zhao Mingding said, stretched out his hands to help her, the cotton blanket in his hand immediately slid down, and he hurriedly lifted the cotton blanket that had fallen half, so as not to expose his whole body, but after such a toss, the boat shook violently, Zhao Mingding held the cotton blanket with both hands, his feet were unstable, and he staggered forward, Wei Jiumei saw it, and stretched out his hands to catch him, but Zhao Mingding's body was too heavy, and the boat shook badly, and the two finally fell together, in order not to press Wei Jiumei, Zhao Mingding hurriedly stretched out his hands to support the bottom of the warehouse, the cotton blanket slipped down, and the eight-pack abs were finally displayed, and they were unobstructed. Wei Jiumei said "ah", hurriedly closed her eyes, and her face turned red.

"I'm sorry!" Zhao Mingding hurriedly got up, picked up his clothes and pants and changed them neatly while apologizing, and saw the boat spinning in the river, so he hurriedly rowed his double paddle. Wei Jiumei opened her eyes when she heard the sound of double strokes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't dare to glance at Zhao Mingding.

"Brother Jiuding, I have some scones here, do you want to eat some?" Wei Jiumei took out a few Wanhe scones from a cloth bag in the cabin and handed them to Zhao Mingding, Zhao Mingding was hungry, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it, handed over the pulp to Wei Jiumei, and sat in the cabin and devoured it, and solved a scone in three or two bites, until the four scones fell into the stomach, then he clapped his hands with satisfaction, and scooped a few handfuls of water from the river to clear his mouth.

Seeing that Zhao Mingding was full, Wei Jiumei leaned over and took out a pair of cotton shoes, a pair of socks and a cotton hat from the cloth bag and handed them to Zhao Mingding: "Put them on quickly, the river is windy and cold!" ”

"How do you get dressed from head to toe inside and out?" Zhao Mingding's cotton hat was buttoned to his head, and he asked while wearing socks.

"Aren't you cold?" Wei Jiu Mei asked while paddling hard, "Where have you been hiding these days, and you haven't shown up until today?" I've had a hard time looking for you. ”

"What do you say? Few days? Zhao Mingding thought he had heard it wrong, stared at Wei Jiumei and asked, "You have been looking for me for several days?" ”

"yes, it's the third day since you got caught up in the vortex." Wei Jiumei said, "I rowed a small boat every day from Zhushandu to Ji'an Bridge, and then from Ji'an Bridge to Zhushandu, looking back and forth carefully. I thought...... I thought that in this life and this life, I would never see you again......" Wei Jiumei said as she cried, and laughed again after a while, "Fortunately...... Thankfully, you're blessed with a great life, and I've finally been able to see you again. ”

"Fate should not be extinguished, everything is luck!" Zhao Mingding smiled, "After I was swept into the whirlpool, I woke up in a cave and only found an exit to come out of the cave today." It's a whirlpool when you go in, and it's a whirlpool when you come out, all under the water, but the exact location is not clear. If I hadn't met you, I might still be floating in the water. It's been hard work for you to come and go on this cold river in the past few days to find me. Thank you! ”

"Thank you!" Wei Jiumei's eyes turned red and said, "Everything started because of me." If you hadn't come to my rescue, I would have been killed! You are my savior! ”

"What a silly girl!" Zhao Mingding smiled slightly and said, "Your kung fu is good, who did you learn from?" ”

"I learned it from my father when I was a child." Wei Jiumei said, her eyes were red, and she choked up, "It's a pity that my father was killed by a squib in order to save people when he was repairing the reservoir." ”

"Lao Tzu is a hero!" Zhao Mingding said with a smile, "Seeing that you were ten with one that day, that kind of anger that you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, maybe only Mu Guiying can compare with you." Whoever is your husband is afraid that there will be no good life. ”

"You're bad, I'll ignore you!" Wei Jiumei pursed her lips angrily and rowed hard, but before a minute had passed, she asked curiously, "You look familiar, just like that person, yes, Qiao Feng!" It's so much like that! ”

"Qiao Feng, the thirteenth generation leader of the Xia Beggars Gang, meet Wei Nuxia!" Zhao Mingding hugged the roll with both hands and saluted, which made Wei Jiumei "giggle" and laugh non-stop......

Since he had been missing for three days, Zhao Mingding was afraid that his grandparents would be worried, so he took Wei Jiumei home first, and then accompanied her to return the boat, and thanked the boatman who borrowed the boat by the way. When he got home, Zhao Mingding was surprised to find that his grandparents didn't seem to be worried about their safety at home, and they surrounded Wei Jiumei to ask for warmth, especially grandma, who was reluctant to put down when she held her hand, and gave Wei Jiumei a silver bracelet on her hand, put it on her left hand, and repeatedly advised: "Come and play often when you have time!" ”

When grandma was circling around Wei Jiumei, grandpa pulled Zhao Mingding into the room and showed him a note written by He Caishan's father: Because of the spiral, because of the vortex, the wind and clouds will meet, and the hidden dragon will soar.

He Caishan's father's nickname is He Banxian, understands feng shui, is good at fortune-telling and divination, and his skills come from family traditions, and he has to take He Caishan out to sell fortune-telling during the winter and summer vacations every year.

"Hidden Dragon Tengyuan, isn't that Feihuang Tengda?" Zhao Mingding thought, in the reluctant farewell of his grandmother, he and Wei Jiumei walked out of the house.

Zhao Mingding bought a cigarette and two bottles of wine, thanked the boatman who lent the boat to Wei Jiumei, returned the boat, and planned to send Wei Jiumei to her door and go back.

Luojia Village is a big village at the foot of the mountain, there are about more than 300 households, most of the villagers are surnamed Luo, and the surname Wei is a miscellaneous surname in this village, Wei Jiumei's parents died early, only two uncles and uncles, plus they are only seven people, and they are weak in the village, so they have no right to speak in the village, and they somehow found out Wei Jiumei's home address, relying on the person who knows the manager of Luojia Village, it is estimated that they want to come over to understand the situation, so as to extort money.

There is a thousand-year-old camphor tree at the entrance of Luojia Village, the trunk of which can only be hugged by about five people, and its cover is like an umbrella.

"You're not dead yet?" The moment the Flying King saw Zhao Mingding, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed, "You kid is really fateful!" With a wave of his hand, he said to his hand, "Go, take the meat and cook it, slaughter another dog, and add dinner tonight!" ”

"You're not dead, how can I die?" Zhao Mingding laughed and said, "Put down the tobacco, alcohol and meat, kowtow to me three more times, and I'll let you leave safely." ”

"Toad yawns, what a big breath!" The Flying King didn't laugh angrily, "Your subordinates are defeated, and they are here to die?" ”

Zhao Mingding smiled slightly and said, "I don't know where the two bags on your forehead came from?" ”

Zhao Mingding had two big bags on the forehead of the Flying King, and the swelling and pain had not subsided, and he was ashamed of the Flying King. ”

"Are you going to fight with me alone, or are the five of you rushing up and relying on more to win?" Zhao Mingding smiled faintly and said quietly.

"You and I are alone, and we want people to help each other, and we are not heroes!" The Flying King was still furious, and he wanted to knock Zhao Mingding to the ground immediately, and step on one foot again, so that he would never be able to turn over.

"I'm afraid you'll lose and cheat!" Zhao Mingding shook his head, expressing disbelief.

"The neighbors here can testify that those who cheat are not heroes!" The villagers around the Flying Dynasty arched their hands. The camphor tree at the entrance of the village is covered like an umbrella, stretches out to be half an acre of land, the ground at the bottom of the tree is flat, it is usually the place where the villagers practice martial arts, I heard that someone is dueling under the tree, and has already heard the wind and moved around a circle, but there is no noise and shouting that they will start the war quickly.
