Over the years, in the section of the Chunmu River on the edge of Chunhui Mansion, there has been a rumor in the ears of people begging for a living by the water, saying that if someone falls into the water and is in a critical situation, it is very likely that they will meet the god of the Chunmu River to rescue.

Unlike many people who just listen to a story, the man on this boat is named Li Jinlai, but he knows that many of these rumors are likely to be true, and he has found three former people who have fallen into the water for verification.

One is a drunk man who fell into the water from a flower boat, the other is a woman who accidentally falls into the water, and the other is a child from a village outside the city who went to the river with his friends to play with homemade lanterns.

These three people can't swim or can't swim because of some reason, and they must have choked on the water after falling into the water at that time, but at the moment of crisis, there was a faint blue light flowing in the water, and they were sent to the shore to survive.

According to the child, when they went out of the village to play on the river beach outside the village, and when they put homemade lanterns, they saw a very delicate lantern on the river, which looked like it was carved out of wood patterns, and the candles on it had been extinguished.

The children immediately tried their best to get the lanterns on the river a little farther away, and the lanterns floated along the river, and the children kept chasing, and finally came to a section of the river where the water surface was very high offshore, and the lanterns stopped on a piece of water and grass, and the children wanted to pick them up here.

As a result, a child stepped on the raised boulder on the shore wall stall, took his partner's hand to lean down to fish, and felt a pull when he grabbed the lantern, which directly caused him to fall into the water, and the little friends on the shore were almost taken down.

Then the child felt that his feet were entangled in aquatic plants, and they were still very deep, and he would have been able to water, and choked a lot of saliva, but when he opened his eyes under the water, he saw a terrible figure with long hair and puffy body, and the frightened child panicked and only had the strength to paddle.

At this time, there was a blue light approaching underwater, and then the bottom of the water vibrate, and the child felt that his ankle was sent and something seemed to be sitting under his buttocks, and he surfaced directly to the surface, and was sent to the shore.

The people in the child's village, especially the elderly, firmly believe that several children should be the water lord they met, that is, the water ghost, and that green light must be saved by the river god of Chunmu Jiang, thanks to the child's parents who respect the river god on weekdays.

After that, the three of them also thought that it was the spring Mu Jiang God who saved them, or they or their parents led them together, and took the tribute to the Jiang God Shrine to thank them.

Of course, Li Jinlai didn't just ask these three people, but also asked more people who fell into the water in the river, many of them were rescued by luck or by boatmen who knew how to water, I don't know how many people fall into the water on the Chunmu River every year, and only a small part of them really claimed to have been saved by the river god after all.

There is a consensus among the three of them, that is, they all saw the underwater blue light in a daze, and all three of them were when there were few people, or at least when there were no people around who could help them.

It's just that the man is almost certain that it is not the Chunmu River God who saved these people, or at least not the Jiang God himself, but a river god fish.

Last autumn, Li Jin came to the family of the wealthy family of Anda County, Qinglu Prefecture, where he had a wedding banquet, and saw that their family had a carp wood carving in the ancestral hall, and after careful questioning, he realized that it was not a carp, but a herring, but he did not say why it was enshrined.

Later, at the wine table, an elder of the Wei family who was close to him told him a story, saying that the second master of their family encountered a strange incident ten or twenty years ago, and was rescued by a divine fish in the Chunmu River after being drunk, and then met the immortal in the fog on the way to play.

The elders didn't say much about the details of the immortals, and it may not be clear, but the matter of the divine fish saving people is still clearly stated, and after that, it is said that because of the guidance of the immortals, the Wei family enshrined this herring fish statue in the ancestral hall.

Li Jinlai knew very well that the Wei family in Anda County had been smooth sailing all these years, and it could be regarded as a lot of money, and after he heard about it, he felt that the Wei family's development must have something to do with it.

It just so happened that Li Jinlai had heard a few times about the rescue of people who had fallen into the water on the Chunmu River in Chunhui Mansion City, and he paid attention to it for a while, and after spending a certain amount of thought and inquiry, he became more and more sure that what the Wei family heard was true, and his mind became more and more lively.

Li Jinlai knew that a very powerful mage had settled in Chunhui Mansion, and it was said that even the dignitaries and nobles in the capital needed to respect this mage for a few points, Li Jinlai had gone to the mage to ask for a rich and noble method before, but the mage said that he was a person who practiced immortals, and it was impossible to help him.

But this time, Li Jinlai visited the mage with "sincerity", told him about the divine fish, and begged again, the mage relented, and for the sake of "sincerity", he gave him a charm, and also told him some things carefully.

So Li Jinlai, who could swim, designed a scene on the river this night, in order to hope that the fish would come to save him.

......

"Help...... Somebody's coming to the rescue? Somebody's overboard......!"

The woman's screams spread far away in the quiet Chunmu River at night, and the man in the water was also fluttering very hard, in fact, the man was indeed flapping with enough strength, and even drank several sips of water.

Although it was the beginning of spring, the weather was still very cold, and the people were not thinly dressed, and the man did not expect that he would be so restrained when he entered the water with his clothes on, as if he had been hit by an iron block.

The river water is also very cold, and the men who are still watery have already drunk several sips of water, and their bodies are so frozen that they are already shivering when they speak.

"Quick, keep shouting, hurry ......"

"Okay, come on, come on, come and help......!"

The woman shouted with all her strength, and even in the distance there was a boat with lanterns that turned its bow and headed in this direction, but it seemed far away.

"Whoa...... Bang ......"

The man's hands and feet were stiff from the cold, and he paddled hard, and his clothes were as heavy as iron.

"Ahem, ahem...... ...... vomit"

He drank several sips of water in a row, but after such a while, the man's mental and physical strength were a little unbearable.

"No, no...... I've got to go up, I've got to go up!"

The man paddled hard and swam close to the painting boat next to him before he stretched out his hand to grab the side of the boat, but his physical strength no longer allowed him to jump to a certain height in the water, and the side of the painting boat was not very low, he couldn't catch the side of the boat, and could only touch the bottom of the side of the boat.

"Xiaoyu, hurry, pull me quickly!"

The man in the water was in a hurry, his head was already sinking and floating in the water, and he kept waving his hand to get on the boat, but he spent more of his precious physical strength by moving in the water again and again.

"Huh, grab my hand, hold it!"

The woman on the boat also began to get anxious, she could see that the man was wrong, but she was very afraid of the water, she shrank by the side of the boat and stretched out one hand, and the other hand was holding the side of the boat, and the hands of the two touched a few times, but they both slipped away.

"With a pole, with a pole!"

The man was in a hurry, and the woman became more and more panicked, grabbed the bamboo pole on the side, moved it for a while before handing it over, but was almost dragged into the water by the man who consciously grabbed the life-saving straw, and was so frightened that he quickly let go of the oars.

The man who had just gotten up from the water fell into the water again, and choked on several mouthfuls of water, and his physical strength was close to freezing.

I want to hold on to the bamboo pole, but the buoyancy is not enough.

"Quick, throw some, throw some tables, stools and chairs down, I, I'm dying......"

The man was really panicked now, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence with his physical strength.

The woman on the boat was more panicked than the man under the boat, and when she heard this, she hurriedly ran back to the cabin of the painting boat, looked left and right to find a stool and moved it.

Hurriedly ran to the side of the boat outside, the man's strength in the water was much lower than just now, but when he saw the woman coming out with a wooden bench, he gave birth to some hope.

"Quick, throw it to me......"

The woman hurriedly threw the wooden stool into the water, but it was only ......

"Knock ......", the wooden bench hit Li Jinlai's forehead, his eyes were white, and he sank straight into the water.

"Ah———— Li Gongzi! Li Gongzi———— come and help someone————"

The woman on the boat screamed in fright, several notches higher than just now.

The moment Li Jinlai was hit by a stool, the thought in his heart was 'My life is over!'

But not long after he sank into the water, a cyan light and shadow swam under him, and then slowly lifted him to the surface.

The man had already passed out, and the woman on the boat obviously couldn't pull such a man whose clothes were filled with water, so she "slammed ......", and in the splash, the man was thrown directly onto the painting boat.

"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi!"

The woman looked at the ripples on the water that were gradually subsiding, and ran to the man in a panic to push him and pat him.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Li Jinlai spat out a few mouthfuls of water, and the person obviously hadn't woken up yet, but instinctively curled up.

Ji Yuan, Bai Qi, and the old turtle in the water all looked in the direction over there, watching the big blue fish under the water swim back after saving people.

"Hehe, it's a farce. ”

Ji Yuan said lightly.
