Chapter Forty-Six: Waves Again
After a while, they came to the Canglang River, when the sky was slightly bright, and the scenery was distinguishable. Ah Xing's eyes were sharp, and he excitedly pointed to a group of fish floating on the surface of the river not far away, and pinched his throat and shouted: "Young master, look, there is a group of fish there!"
Rong Chengjin looked at Ah Xing's fingers, and saw a group of very fat fish floating on the water, one next to the other, there were more than a dozen, his heart was happy, and he couldn't wait to stride over, scooped the fish deep in the water, and slowly moved closer to the group of fish. When Rong Chengjin lifted the fish scoop, it was empty, and not a single fish was caught.
Ah Xing couldn't help but complain: "Oh, young master, you are too anxious! Be gentle, approach slowly, don't be too impatient when you lift up, don't move too much, otherwise the fish will be scared away as soon as they are frightened!"
Rong Chengjin said angrily: "What are you talking about? It's the first time for me to catch a fish like this, and I'm not a god, so I can learn it all at once!
Ah Xing listened, so he had to give up, looked around, and saw a group of fish floating on the surface of the water not far away, and hurriedly said: "There's there, there's there! Young master, you should be gentle this time, approach slowly, don't be too anxious!"
Rong Chengjin said: "I know!" His eyes were staring at the group of fish, approaching gently, for fear of accidentally making a little noise to startle the fish away, scooping the fish into the water, quietly moving closer, identifying the direction, and slowly lifting up, when the fish found it, it had been put into the net, and struggled for a while to finally get rid of the fishing net, and was brought up by Rong Chengjin.
Rong Chengjin couldn't help but shout excitedly: "I've caught one! I've caught one!"
Ah Xing also smiled happily, couldn't close his mouth, hurriedly put his hand into the net, grabbed the fish head tightly with both hands, and carefully took it out and put it into the fish basket. The two walked forward lightly, and found another group of fish not far away, Rong Chengjin was familiar with the road and concocted it in the same way, and after a while, he caught five or six more.
Unconsciously, the east has been white, and the objects in front of the eyes are gradually becoming clearer.
Rong Chengjin caught the addiction, and stared at the river with his eyes tightly as he walked, carefully observing the stillness and movement in the river, for fear of missing a group of fish.
Suddenly, someone gently patted her shoulder a few times, and I saw Xing'er pointing to something in the grass not far in front of her and said, "Young Master, what do you think is that?"
Rong Chengjin looked at Ah Xing's finger, and saw a cloud of clothes faintly exposed in the grass, as if a person was lying there, half of it was still soaked in water.
Rong Chengjin was full of curiosity and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look!"
As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked over there, and Ah Xing followed closely behind him, trembling, and his heart was uneasy. Rong Chengjin pushed aside the grass and saw a woman about fifteen or sixteen years old lying on the riverside, with a moth head and eyebrows, a cherry mouth and a yao nose, very glamorous. Rong Chengjin couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered: "Good Peugeot maid, why are you lying here?"
Ah Xing was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly grabbed it, and dissuaded: "Young master, don't touch .......it! Let's go! I'm ....... When I was a child, I heard my father say to me, 'There are ghosts in the river, and sometimes they will hide in the form of human beings and hide by the water's edge, trick people into coming over, and then they will ....... It grabs you, drags you into the water and drowns you to find a substitute, and then it can be reincarnated as a human. 'This woman may be a ghost, don't touch her.......!' Let's go, get out of here, go home early, the old lady is about to wake up!"
Rong Chengjin spat and scolded: "Nonsense, in broad daylight, the chickens have crowed several times, where did the ghost come from? I think you are a ghost, you are a coward, such a beautiful woman, how can a ghost become? Ghosts all have long fangs, bloody mouths, protruding eyes, and ten pointed and long fingers! Have you ever seen such a beautiful ghost? This woman may be a maid who was abused by her master and ran away from home; or else, she accidentally walked in the river at night. Fortunately, God willing, we saw it. My mother often taught us to 'help others for pleasure, and help those who are suffering more!' β
Ah Xing didn't dare to defend when he heard this, but he grabbed Rong Chengjin's shirt tightly with his hand, refused to let go, and squinted and peeked at it with fear.
Rong Chengjin leaned over and tested the woman's snort with his hand, and saw that she was still breathing, and her breath was like a gossamer, extremely weak. I couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and turned to Ah Xing and said, "She's still alive! Xing'er, hurry! I'll take the fish basket, you carry her, let's hurry home and ask the doctor to help her heal!"
Ah Xing was startled when he heard this, hurriedly took a few steps back, and shook his hands wildly: "No, no, no....... Young master, I won't do it, I'm afraid! If she grows a pair of sharp and long fangs from behind when I carry her, and bites my neck silently and sucks my blood, then I will die......! I'm not coming!Young master, don't let me carry it!"
Rong Chengjin spat and scolded: "Phew, coward!" He sent the fish scoop in his hand forward, and said, "You take it, I'll come!" Ah Xing wanted to say something, but he didn't dare, so he held back. Reach out and take the fish scoop.
Rong Chengjin pulled the woman up, put it on her shoulders, dragged her away, and rushed home with arrows.
Ah Xing followed behind, holding the fish basket in his left hand and the fish scoop in his right hand, and staggered home....... I can't run anymore!" After a while, the two ran back home, and it was already dawn.
Rong Chengjin kicked the door open and rushed in, shouting: "Dad, mother!, come onββ! Dadββ, mother - come onββ!"
Rong Zhiwu and Liu had just gotten up, still freshening up, when they suddenly heard Rong Chengjin shouting, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to Rong Chengjin's room, asking: "What's wrong! What's wrong?ββ and when they saw the woman lying on Rong Chengjin's bed, they couldn't help but be stunned!
The two of them glanced at each other, both of them were surprised, and they invariably looked at Rong Chengjin.
At this moment, Ah Xing had rushed in.
Rong Zhiwu calmed his mind and asked, "Xing'er, what's going on?"
Ah Xing hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Back to the master, this woman was rescued when the young master and I went to the Canglang River to catch fish this morning." β
Rong Zhiwu was surprised: "Catch fish?"
Ah Xing didn't dare to hide it, so he had to tell everything about the cause and effect.
Rong Zhiwu exploded his chest when he heard this, pulled down his face, and pointed at Rong Chengjin and Ah Xing with trembling hands: "You two little beasts, don't sleep well, go to catch some fish in the middle of the night! If you don't study hard, you're just doing these trivial things of kicking dead toads and killing monkeys! Look at me if I don't clean up the two of you well today!"
shouted: "Kneel down for me!"
The two didn't dare to resist, so they had to "plop" and kneel on the ground.
Seeing that he couldn't bear it, Liu Shi stepped forward and pulled the two up, and said: "Okay, okay, let's get up! The two children are still young, what can they know! Whose children don't have a naughty spirit, just teach them slowly, just scare them into doing something! Let's take a look at this girl's injuries first!" After speaking, he turned around, looked at Rong Chengjin and said: "You two little naughty ghosts are really good, you can catch such a big mermaid back when you catch fish in the river, it seems that your marriage doesn't have to worry about your mother!"
When Rong Chengjin and Ah Xing heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, and suddenly saw Rong Zhiwu staring at him with a full face and horizontal eyebrows, and hurriedly held back, secretly happy in his heart.
Rong Zhiwu instructed: "Madam, you and Xiaoming find a set of clean clothes for this girl to change into." Later, I will ask Ah Xing to go to West Street to invite Dr. Chen to treat this girl! Xiang'er, you and I come out! Rong Chengjin was scared, looked at Liu with his eyes, and begged softly: "Mother-"
Liu Shi smiled slightly and said, "Go out, it's okay! You save people's lives, your father won't blame you!" Although this is for Rong Chengjin, it is actually about Rong Zhiwu.
Rong Chengjin was helpless, so he had to lower his head and follow Rong Zhiwu out, and Ah Xing ran to ask for a doctor as soon as he slipped away.
Rong Zhiwu stared at Rong Chengjin angrily, just about to speak. But he saw the housekeeper Yan Zhong rushing over with his feet like flying, and said: "Master, there are two brocade guards in the dart game, saying that they are from King Chen's mansion, and they want you to go over and discuss something!"
Rong Zhiwu was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to Rong Chengjin and said: "Xiang'er, you can't go anywhere today, let me stay at home honestly and read the Tao Te Ching to memorization, and I'll come back in the evening to investigate!
