She turned to the right and came to the moat, which was almost to the outskirts, and there was no one in sight, and even the noise of the street market could only be faintly heard.

Dou Lianyi walked to the river and squatted down, held the lotus lantern in his hand, closed his eyes and made a wish.

Then she opened her eyes and leaned forward slightly unsuspectingly, trying to put the lotus lantern into the water.

However, at this moment, she keenly sensed that someone was approaching behind her, and then a gust of palm wind struck!

Dou Lianyi wanted to avoid the side, but his legs and feet were numb, and he could only weakly fall straight into the moat along the palm wind!

Oh no, she doesn't know anything about water!

Dou Lianyi secretly complained in his heart, and in the next second, there was a "poof", and the whole person had fallen into the water.

"Help, help!"

The surface of the moat seemed to be calm, but in fact, there were whirlpools one after another in the water, and Dou Lianyi didn't even have time to see who pushed him into the water, so he was wrapped in the current and sank.

Just as she closed her eyes in despair and wanted to give up, a figure swam nimbly and silently in the water in the distance.

The man took Dou Lianyi in his arms, kicked the water with his legs, and swam forward, until he came to the hole under the stone bridge.

Under the cover of the shadow under the stone bridge, the man leaned out of the water with Dou Ripple in his arms and quickly went ashore.

After there was no trace of the water surface in front of him, Lu Shangxuan walked out from behind the tree with an expressionless face.

He stared at the lotus lantern floating over the moat, and said lightly: "Lianniang, don't hate me if you are a ghost, who let you block the way of me and Zhi'er in an ignorant way." ”

After saying that, Lu Shangxuan turned around and left without any nostalgia.

At this time, in the bridge hole, Dou Lianyi fell into a coma because too much river water was poured into it for a while.

The person who rescued her was not in a hurry to wake her up, but got up and lit a pile of firewood, and looked at the ripples of the sinus through the light of the fire.

After a long time, Dou Lianyi was suddenly choked awake, she pounded her chest, desperately coughed up the water in her lungs, her face was pale, and she looked very embarrassed.

After finally relieving himself, Dou Lianyi took a deep breath and felt that he had come back to life.

"Are you alright?"

However, in the next second, a sudden voice almost scared her half life away.

"Who is it?"

Dou Lianyi was shocked to realize that there was a bonfire burning in front of him, and in the shadow of the firelight was still sitting a person whose face could not be seen clearly.

I don't know if it's friend or foe, so she moved back as soon as she boarded, trying to distance herself from the other party.

The man leaned out so that Dou Lianyi could see himself clearly, and then said gently, "Girl, do you remember me?" ”

Dou Lianyi first saw the mask on the other party's face, and then his eyes fell on the moon-white robe that was still dripping on his body.

Isn't this the son who had a relationship with him at the Lantern Festival?

"It's you! How did you end up here? ”

Although he recognized the other party, Dou Lianyi was still vigilant.

After all, she didn't see who pushed her down the river.

In the face of Dou Lianyi's suspicions, the masked boy did not have any displeasure, but calmly explained: "I originally just wanted to come to the river to put a lotus lantern, but I found that someone sneakily hid behind a tree and pushed you into the water when you were not paying attention. ”

"But there are almost no people here, so why did you go here alone, Childe?"

Dou Lianyi actually believed a little bit in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"There are too many people in contact with on weekdays, and sometimes I just want to be clean and pure."

He said lightly, and the eyes that looked at Dou Lianyi were still so bright and sincere.

"So, it was Childe who saved me at that time."

Dou Lianyi also remembered what happened in the water at this time, and her eyes gradually became clearer.

The second she passed out, she seemed to have a firm grasp of something in her hand, thinking of this, Dou Lianyi subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the collar of the masked man.

The garment, which I knew was worth a lot at first glance, had become crumpled, and at first glance it was pulled out with a lot of effort.

Dou Lianyi suddenly felt embarrassed, she cleared her throat, got up and bent down to thank the other party: "I don't know what Gongzi is called and where he lives, I will personally come to the door another day to thank Gongzi for saving his life tonight." ”

"The girl can call me Qin Mu," Qin Mu also stood up, gave Dou Lianyi a weak hand, and said politely: "It's just a gesture, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will help, the girl doesn't need to be so polite." ”

Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes and smiled, but secretly put this life-saving grace in his heart.

She changed the topic, gestured to the clothes on Qin Mu's body, and asked: "This dress on Qin Gongzi's body should be a silk from the West Sea, I heard that the water droplets will slide off quickly, and the output is small, the value is expensive, the only drawback is that it is easy to wrinkle." ”

"The girl has seen it?"

Qin Mu was also a little surprised by Dou Lianyi's eyes, he nodded, and then asked curiously, "Could it be that the girl is also a businessman?" ”

This "also" made Dou Lianyi's eyebrows smile slightly, and she came to a conclusion a little slyly: "It turns out that Gongzi Qin is a businessman, so I don't know where the mansion is, so it's inconvenient for me to visit?" ”

"Girl, you are really ......" Qin Mu smiled helplessly halfway through his words, and said, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can come to the 'Wind and Snow Pavilion' to sit." ”

Fengxue Pavilion, this name is quite unique, Dou Lianyi thought to himself.

I don't know if it's because of Qin Mu's gentle and elegant attitude, which makes it easy for people to let go of their defenses, Dou Lianyi sat by the bonfire, and actually chatted with him without saying a word.

Speaking of later, Dou Lianyi felt more and more sincerely admired the erudition of this Qin Gongzi.

"It's almost time for me to go back," Dou Lianyi seemed to hear the sound of a rooster crowing in the distance, she stood up suddenly, and said a little anxiously: "Qin Gongzi, I'll visit another day, and I'll go first if I have something to do today." ”

"Okay."

Qin Mu nodded and stood up as well, but in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't go out with Dou Lianyi.

Because Dou Lianyi did not return overnight, the county king's mansion was in turmoil at this time, and almost all the guards were sent out to find Dou Lianyi's traces.

Old Madam Lu sat in the room anxiously waiting for news, and the corners of her mouth grew fire bubbles.

But when she caught a glimpse of the undisguised smile in Lu Shangxuan's eyes beside her, she suddenly felt bad in her heart.

After she ordered everyone in the house to go out, she smashed her crutches on the ground and reprimanded in a low voice: "Rebel, do you know how much impact the disappearance of the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion will have!" Are you trying to kill everyone in the county palace? ”
