For a moment, Cheng Da Tao's back felt cold. He was finished. He actually met a real member of Huajinglou. Now he was really finished... ap.
He subconsciously retreated, but the young man next to him kicked him lightly and kicked him into the lake again.
With a "plop", half of his body sank into the water again, scaring him so much that he screamed in pain.
But when he thought that the two people above were from the real Huajinglou, Cheng Datao didn't even dare to scream.
At this moment, he wished those two people thought he was dead. At least this way, he still had a glimmer of hope...
At the bow of the ship.
Jing Chun finally turned around. He glanced at the corpses on the ground indifferently: "There are so many people who died of poisoning. It seems that the one who came here just now is quite capable."
"Master, do you want to catch up and find out?"
"That's not necessary. Check the background of these people. They dare to do anything in the name of Huajinglou. I would like to see who is behind them."
"yes."
"..."
On the other side, Liu Shengsheng had been walking along the river for a long time. She was looking around all the way, trying to find Yizhou or Yichen, but she couldn't even see anyone after walking for a long time.
She even wondered if she was looking in the wrong direction, or had the two of them actually sunk to the bottom of the lake?
impossible……
She clearly saw Yichen floating in this direction. Logically speaking, Yizhou should also be looking for it...
Just when Liu Shengsheng was upset, an old man's cry for help suddenly came to his ears.
"Help, gulu gulu, help..."
Someone fell into the water!
Liu Shengsheng ran quickly following the sound, and soon saw an old woman struggling in the river. There was no one around, and she was the only one who could save her!
So Liu Shengsheng jumped into the river without thinking much and fished the old woman out.
Fortunately, it was fished out in time, and the old woman was fine except for a few coughs.
But she still looked at Liu Shengsheng with great gratitude, "Thank you, girl, for saving my life! Thank you so much, girl!"
Liu Shengsheng stood aside and wrung the water from her clothes, "You're welcome. How could you fall into the river in this cold weather?"
The old woman sat on the ground panting and wringing out her clothes.
"This is the only river near here that is cleaner. I thought that if I washed my clothes by the river, I would be able to clean them. But I never thought that the river was so fierce today that it washed away all my clothes. I just I wanted to fish it out, but I never thought I would fall in..."
Liu Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, "Have you been here all this time?"
"I've been here for about half an hour."
"Then did you see two people floating down?"
The old woman shook her head blankly, "No, but my sweet grandson is playing upstream. If someone really fell into the river, he should be able to see it, and I don't know where he went. I shouted just now I didn’t even call him over for a long time…”
As she spoke, she sneezed.
Liu Shengsheng said: "Old lady, your clothes are all wet. You'd better go back and change quickly."
But the old woman stood up and took her hand, "Girl, will you come with me? It's such a cold day and you will be wet all over, you will definitely catch a cold..."
"No, I'm looking for someone."
"This river is so big. If someone really falls in, how can it be said that they can be found again? We have been standing here for a long time and we haven't seen anyone floating down. Otherwise, the person you are looking for would have been there long ago. Just climbed onto the shore somewhere, or..."
Having said this, the old woman couldn't help but lower her eyes, her eyes full of sympathy.
"Girl, why don't you come with me and change your clothes? My home is not far from here..."
Liu Shengsheng was a little confused, but she was indeed shivering from the cold at this moment.
Seeing this, the old woman continued, "Go ahead, go ahead. Once you have changed your clothes, I will ask my grandson to look for you together. There is strength in numbers."
He didn’t even wait for Liu to finish speaking.
Shengsheng agreed and took her away in stride.
Liu Shengsheng was still confused in the end, but she was indeed shivering from the cold...
Forget it, it's been such a long time anyway, it's not a short while away. If it continues to freeze, I'm afraid I'll get sick before I can find them.
After following the old woman for a while, they walked through the forest and soon saw a broad avenue with a small courtyard built alone on the side of the road.
At a glance, there are only three or five houses next to the spacious road. Each house has its own small courtyard. It seems that this place can be regarded as a small village...
I followed the old lady back home. As soon as I entered, I saw wisps of smoke. Apparently someone was lighting a fire.
Then the old woman patted her thigh and said, "Hey, I was just wondering why my good grandson didn't come to save me. When did he come back?"
After saying that, she staggered into the kitchen.
Liu Shengsheng followed her leisurely. Not wanting to take a few steps, she saw two familiar clothes...
Looking at the clothes hanging in the yard, Liu Shengsheng quickly ran over and took a look. They were really the clothes of Yizhou and Yichen.
Their clothes are here, so are they here too?
Thinking of this, Liu Shengsheng quickly ran into the house to check.
Unexpectedly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Grandma, why are you so wet?"
Liu Shengsheng froze and stood at the door for a long time without daring to go in.
Is it an auditory hallucination?
Why did he seem to hear Nan Bangning's voice?
Then I heard the old woman laughing and saying, "I accidentally fell into the river. Fortunately, a girl saved me. You kid, you didn't even say a word when you came back. I called you for a long time..."
"I'm sorry, grandma, I didn't mean to do it. I saw the two elder brothers fell into the water, and I went to save them..."
It was obviously such a familiar voice, but the tone of speaking was so unfamiliar.
Liu Shengsheng couldn't help but wonder if she heard it wrong?
She exhaled, she must have heard wrongly.
Nan Bangning should have died under the cliff long ago, how could he appear here?
This person's voice simply sounds like Nan Bangning...
Thinking about it, Liu Shengsheng stepped in.
But as soon as she entered, she was completely stunned.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, the face that he had hated for a long time appeared before her eyes at this moment.
Nan Bangning, he is not dead!
When he faked his death and escaped, he inquired about the whereabouts of Nan Banning. Everyone said that he fell off a high cliff and could not still be alive, but now, he appears here!
It turned out that he was hiding in such a deep mountain and old forest. No wonder no one could find him...
Liu Shengsheng subconsciously wanted to attack him, but the old woman suddenly took her hand.
"Girl, what do you think of this dress? This is the dress from when I was young. I haven't worn it for many years, and it has been kept at the bottom of the box. I have a round figure, and the clothes I wear now must be too big for you, so I wear this. I give you old clothes, but don’t worry, although these clothes are old, they are not shabby.”
The old woman said with a smile, while looking at Nan Banning and said: "By the way, girl, this is my good grandson. He said that he just saved two teenagers. I wonder if there is anyone you are looking for. You can tell me later." After you change your clothes, I'll ask him to take you over to have a look."
Liu Shengsheng stood quietly, her hands already pinched into her flesh, and she stared at Nan Wanning.
"I didn't expect you to hide here."
