The river was so turbulent that it seemed to me that the old woman would be swallowed up or even swept away by the rushing river.

But what I didn't expect was that at the moment when I just stepped to the river, a figure suddenly emerged from the turbulent river.

That hideous and terrifying face, who else could there be but the old woman.

She hissed, struggling to move her body towards the shore, obviously the river was so fast, but it did not play a role in her, it seemed that the old woman was like a lump of iron ingots, firmly rooted in the river.

"Get out of the way!"

I rushed to the riverside with one arrow step, grabbed Liu Tingting's wrist and pulled it back.

As I thought, the old woman was coming out of the river little by little, and at first only a disgusting head was exposed, and gradually the parts below the neck were also exposed.

I pulled Liu Tingting behind me, facing most of the old woman who had even exposed the surface of the river, I put the dragon claw in front of me again, since I can't drown, then let me send her back to the west completely!

"Old man, I'm sorry!"

I shouted, and stepped into the rushing river.

I didn't want to die with her, and I didn't put my life at risk, but I stepped into the river because I didn't intend to let the old woman go ashore.

Jiang Shui will restrict her movements, so if I make a move, she won't be able to hide even if she wants to.

In the blink of an eye, the old woman's calves and knees were already out of the water, and they had moved to my eyes.

Without saying a word, I swung my dragon claw and grabbed the old woman straight at her, vowing to kill her in pieces.

However, at the moment when I swung out the dragon's claw, a sudden huge wave of river water suddenly rushed ashore, and a sharp wave slapped straight at me.

Caught off guard, I was knocked to the ground by the rushing waves, and when I got up from the ground again, I was slapped back to the riverbank.

Strange to say, I was photographed back to the river bank after the same strong waves, but the old woman still stood in place and did not move, as if the fast waves had no effect on her at all, and more like the old woman's feet had grown in the middle of the river.

Just when I was extremely surprised by this, suddenly the surface of the river, which was already rolling waves, suddenly set off a huge wave of three feet.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black and huge tentacle swept out of the river, directly wrapping the old woman around her waist.

Oh......!

A howl came from the old woman's mouth, as if she was venting her unwillingness.

Just after this howl, the old woman was dragged directly into the boiling river by the black tentacles......

For a long time, I stood by the river in a daze, and the clothes on my body had been wet again by the rapid waves just now, but I had no time to take care of it, a pair of eyes stared at the turbulent river, and the dragon claw in my hand was ready to attack at any time.

However, as time passed, the pitch-black tentacle never appeared again, and the terrifying old woman never missed her head again, and everything returned to its original appearance, as if the so-called tentacles and the old woman had never appeared.

I don't know how strange the tentacle that suddenly appeared, but one thing I know for sure is that the old woman has apparently become the food of the strange mouth, and it is impossible to return to the shore to cause trouble to the world.

"It seems that I am right, there is indeed a weirdness in this part of the watershed."

Listening to Liu Tingting's words, I nodded silently.

I walked back to Liu Tingting's side quickly, took her hand and ran back in the direction I came.

The reason why I left so eagerly, on the one hand, I was worried that the so-called weirdness would appear again, and it would be fine if it was easy to deal with, but if it was a fierce beast in the water, then Liu Tingting and I would only have the share of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

On the other hand, the old woman is solved, but there is a dying old man selling melons in the simple house, and they all say that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it is still necessary to save it, I can't watch such a kind-hearted old man die so miserably.

I took Liu Tingting's hand and ran all the way back, and when I rushed into the house, I found that the old man selling melons was obviously paralyzed in the corner and stopped moving.

"Old man!"

I shouted and rushed towards the old man selling melons, but I didn't expect that under my shouting, the old man selling melons slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing that the old man selling melons was still alive, I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and hurriedly turned my head to look at Liu Tingting, "Quick!" ”

In the past, whenever she encountered an injured person, Liu Tingting would be the first to rush forward to stop the bleeding and bandage him.

But now, she stood silently in place, motionless.

I wanted to open my mouth again to urge, but Liu Tingting shook her head helplessly, "It's too late, the blood in the old man's body has almost flowed, and there is not much time left." ”

After saying that, Liu Tingting's face became dark, her eyes were red, and she turned her head away.

I thought that the old man selling melons could continue to live, even if he could only lie down in the next few days, but as long as he was alive, it was enough.

But it backfired, everything was too late, and the old man who was already selling melons in his last years was already about to say goodbye to this bleak world forever.

"Young man...... No more effort...... Old man, I'm leaving......! ”

"My wife, is she already ......!"

I didn't answer, but nodded silently.

I thought that the old man selling melons would use his last strength to scold me, but he didn't, and he calmly said to me, "Alas...... Forget it, I'm going to die anyway...... It's time to be reunited with my wife down there, and my poor son, and we can finally be reunited as a family of ......! ”

………………

The old man selling melons is gone.

In accordance with his last wishes, I sent his body into the rushing river.

I didn't see the strange tentacles again, and the body of the old man selling melons was directly swept away by the rushing river.

"Let's go, aren't you going to find some kind of Lai people?" Liu Tingting reminded me.

I nodded silently.

This was the last message left to me by the old man who sold melons, and when he was dying, I inadvertently saw an umbrella on the side of the door, which was an oilcloth umbrella, which was somewhat similar to the one that Lai Aju was holding.

So I took a fluke and asked the dying old man who sold melons, asking him where this oilcloth umbrella came from, and if he knew where the Miao village of the Lai people was.

When I asked like that, a trace of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the old man who sold melons, and his spirit recovered a lot.

I knew it was just a flashback before I died.

The old man who sold melons told me that he was a member of the Lai tribe, because he broke the clan rules when he was young and intermarried with a Han person, so he was punished by the clan and let him guard the pass of the Lai tribe village.

I didn't expect this to be a lifetime!

As the gatekeeper of the Lai tribe, the old man who sold melons did not tell me directly about my ill-intentioned motives, but only told me that the entrance to the Lai tribe was in the iron coffin gorge, and he did not tell me the specific direction.

I think I should tell the old man about Lai Aju and the old grandmother, maybe only by listening to him can I completely let down my guard.

But my words have already reached my lips, but I was choked back alive, because the old man who sold melons was gone.

So at the moment, under Liu Tingting's reminder, the two of us could only walk towards one of the peaks in the Iron Coffin Gorge, hoping to get lucky and find the entrance to the Lai clan.

But after walking all day, I didn't even see what the entrance looked like.

The sky slowly darkened, and Liu Tingting and I were forced to return to the fenced courtyard.
