"Ah!" With a scream, Lin Xi fell into the water, her vision blurred, and a large amount of river water was poured into her mouth, ears and mouth.
There was silence all around. She was stunned and forgot her movements. She didn't realize what happened. Her body sank in the water for a moment, and her survival instinct drove her to slide upward desperately.
Fortunately, she knew how to swim, and she quickly emerged from the water, gasping for air.
Unfortunately, the river was fast and she was carried down by the river.
A few aunts were talking and laughing at first, but they were startled by the sound of splashing into the water. They turned their heads and looked around, and screamed: "Oh, it's terrible, someone fell into the water."
"It's the girl from the Lin family!"
“Come over and have a look”
"What are you looking at? Help someone quickly"
Several aunts dropped their things and ran in her direction, shouting for help as they ran: "Hurry, someone has fallen into the water, someone has fallen into the water."
Lin Xi was washed along the river for a while, spinning in circles in the water. She was frightened and panicked. Fortunately, she regained her consciousness and could only try her best to stabilize her body, and then seize the opportunity to grab everything around her. .
She first grabbed a handful of water plants by the river, but unfortunately the current was too strong to support her body, and the grass was also dragged away.
Before the aunts could catch up with her, they were stopped by an old godly woman holding a bamboo stick.
"Which of you dares to go?"
"Mrs. Liu, you are crazy, what are you doing?"
The aunts saw Lin Xi being swept further and further away from the river. They were so anxious that they tried to run forward, but Mrs. Liu pushed her back with her bamboo pole.
"Poor Liu, are you crazy?" the aunts yelled angrily: "Did you push it? Do you know you are killing people?"
Mrs. Liu said "poof": "I want that little bitch to die. She harmed my grandson, and I want her to pay for it with her life. Whoever dares to save you, I want whoever looks good today!"
After saying that, he waved his bamboo pole like crazy and drove away the aunts.
The aunts were anxious and exclaimed: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, Madam Liu is crazy, she's going to kill someone."
The scene was chaotic. Fortunately, other villagers working in the fields across the river bank saw that someone was already running in the direction where Lin Xi rushed away.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu was really cruel and not letting them rescue people, Aunt Yao turned around and ran towards the Lin family yard, shouting as she ran:
"Lin Yan Lin Yan, your sister was pushed into the river by Mrs. Liu. Come out quickly and go to the village chief."
Before Lin Yan had time to hear the sound, Gu Huaipan, who was sitting on a wicker chair reading a book, had already heard it, stood up from the chair and walked out quickly.
He ran out the door and looked in the direction of the river on the flat slope. He saw a black spot in the river being washed away by the current. He didn't care much about it and shouted in a deep voice to the no one around him, "Gu San!" "
Point by point, it has flown downward.
Auntie was trying to climb up when a gust of wind suddenly passed by her eyes, and she saw a white figure flying past.
I was stunned for a moment, didn't see clearly, and continued to climb up while shouting.
Lin Yan had already heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door and ran out. Lin Yu was so frightened that she started crying. Lin Yan ignored her and ran down the slope without her.
Even a young and strong farmer could not move faster than the fast river water, so he was unable to catch up with the speed at which Lin Xi was swept down. Lin Xi drifted further and further away.
After floating for a long time, Lin Xi finally grabbed a small willow tree hanging in the river, holding on tightly and trying to lean towards the river.
She tried to climb up, but her body was exhausted. There was no point of strength on the river and the bank was high. She couldn't climb up and was almost washed away again.
The little willow tree has slowly emerged from the soil due to several struggles.
If it is washed out for another five or six hundred meters, it will be a dark pool.
All the water in this river collects here and then enters the dark pool. There is no way here.
Above is a small mountain connected to a large mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain is an underground river. If you are washed into it, you will definitely die.
Therefore, the villagers respect and fear this river, because if they fall into this river and are unable to be rescued in time, they will die without a complete body.
Several people had died in the village before, and even the bodies could not be found. The elders in the village warned their children that they were never allowed to play by the river, let alone go into the river. If they were found, they would be taken to the ancestral hall and beaten for three days. Three nights.
Even adult villagers rarely go down to the river unless they are watering crops.
Seeing that the little willow tree was about to break away from the river bank, Lin Xi turned pale and felt extremely desperate. She tried to calm herself down and looked for the last glimmer of hope with trembling lips.
Just as she and the willow tree were washed away again, and she closed her eyes in despair, a force grabbed her clothes and lifted her up from the river.
Gu Huaibang flew into the river, stepped on the river bank and took a few steps on the water. He used Qinggong to pull the person ashore. His body couldn't help but staggered a few steps, and he frowned and gasped while covering his chest.
Lin Xi touched the ground with a confused look on her face. She walked around on the edge of death, thinking she was dead.
After a long pause, she finally saw that the person pulling her up was none other than Gu Huaiban.
Before he could say thank you, Lin Yan's anxious shouting came from the distance: "Sister, sister, be careful!"
Seeing Lin Xi being fished out, Mrs. Liu was furious and rushed over like crazy holding a long bamboo pole, intending to pull the person into the water again.
Several aunts behind him exclaimed: "Mrs. Liu is really crazy, crazy." But they no longer dared to step forward. Only Lin Yan was still trying to run forward.
Just as the bamboo pole fell on Lin Xi's head, Mrs. Liu was kicked down: "Seeking death!"
Only a scream was heard, and Mrs. Liu flew into the river with a "Peng!"
Everyone on the shore was frightened, and Lin Xi was so frightened by this scene that she forgot to react.
"Gu San, don't let her die." While everyone was stunned, Gu Huaibang calmed down and ordered Gu San.
If he died like this, it would be a big trouble for them. If he wanted to die, he would have to live a clear path.
Gu San got his master's order and before the old witch was sucked into the dark room, he flew up, picked up the man and threw him aside. The old witch was so frightened that she fainted.
There were a few people gathered around the shore, and the discussion continued. Soon, the village chief was also invited over by other villagers.
After pushing aside the crowd, Lin Xi was seen paralyzed on the ground in a miserable state with a pale face and a trembling face. Not far away, Mrs. Liu had lost consciousness, and the bamboo pole was floating in circles on the surface of the dark pool.
"What's going on? What's going on?" the village chief on crutches asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Lin Yan ran to Lin Xi, hugged his sister, and couldn't hold back the tears any longer. He was so scared that he was afraid that if he slowed down, he would never see his sister again.
Everyone around was shocked, but a few villagers walked over and quietly said to the village chief: "I don't know why Mrs. Liu is so crazy. She rushed out and pushed the Lin family girl into the river."
The fat aunt also moved up and said loudly to the village chief: "That Mrs. Liu was waving a long pole to beat us and refused to let us save people. She kept saying that she wanted to kill the Lin family girl. I don't know what grudge they had, but she was so crazy that she wanted to kill us. kill"
Seeing this scene, the village chief quickly squatted down to check Mrs. Liu's breath. When she saw that Mrs. Liu was still breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was secretly shocked that no one was killed.
Now that Mrs. Liu has fainted, she can only ask Lin Xi what happened? So he stepped forward and planned to ask the Lin family girl.
Before he could get closer, Gu Huaiban stood in front of him, and a white brocade dress fell on Lin Xi's head.
The old village chief took a look and saw that this was not the noble man who bought Chen Xiucai's yard a few days ago. He also helped him go to the county government to get the house and land deeds.
At that time, a young boy followed him. Although the master did not speak a word from beginning to end, his extraordinary appearance was unforgettable.
"Master, can you please give me a step and let me ask Lin Yatou?"
Gu Huaiban coughed a few times with a pale face. He was eager to save people and used his inner strength. Now his breath was very unstable. He waved to Gu San, who had taken off his black smock, and asked him to come over and support him.
His lungs were about to be coughed up. Just when everyone thought that the noble young master who appeared out of nowhere was going to lose his breath from coughing, Gu Huaiban stopped after coughing and asked weakly: "Liu San Are they this woman’s family?”
Someone replied: "Liu San is the only grandson of Mrs. Liu."
"That's right," Gu Huaibang said after a while, "Liu San secretly crawled into my yard to steal things in the middle of the night the day before yesterday."
"Ahem~ I was discovered by my little guard. I tied him up and threw him into the county government office and locked him up. There were guards around me. Mrs. Liu probably didn't dare to come to me, so she took out her grievances on my cousin. But she dared You're so cruel, I didn't expect this, cough cough cough~"
After coughing a few words, I felt pity for this frail and weak appearance. Even the village chief couldn't help but lower his voice and said softly: "This is actually happening!"
Speaking of it, Mrs. Liu was related by marriage to his wife, so the villagers did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face on weekdays.
They also knew a thing or two about Liu San's behavior, but since he was not a direct relative of their family, he didn't bother to care.
But now that people are about to die, he can't just sit back and ignore it, otherwise it will cause trouble in the county government, and he will not be able to become the village chief.
The villagers immediately whispered, and a few who had also been harmed by Liu San jumped out immediately.
