Just when Ruan Tang thought he was about to take a break, he suddenly felt a tightness around his waist. As he was sinking into the water, an arm wrapped around him and lifted him out of the water.
She had already fallen into a daze, but now she suddenly woke up.
In shock, he immediately kicked his legs back and used his hands to break off the arm on his waist.
Unexpectedly, the person behind her was flexible and extremely strong, and she was soon dragged to the side.
"Who are you? Let me go!"
"Shut up and be good if you don't want to die."
The voice of the person behind him sounded, and it turned out to be a female voice.
Her nervous heart suddenly relaxed.
She wanted to say something else, but the woman shouted towards the lake not far away: "Come here quickly."
After the woman said this, the sound of paddling came from the lake, and a small boat with a lantern hanging on it rowed over.
After the boat approached them, the woman's hand tightened around her waist and with a forceful upward movement, Ruan Tang was thrown onto the boat.
It was the first time Ruan Tang saw a woman with such strength.
Although she is thin, she still weighs more than 90 pounds. If she wants to lift it with one hand, a man may not be able to do it.
She had to admire this woman.
But she soon stopped thinking about it, because as soon as she left the water, the wind blowing from the lake pierced her bones, causing her to shiver.
She crossed her arms and sat up, but a cloak was draped over her head and face, wrapping her whole body.
She fiddled with it for a while, then exposed her head and wrapped her whole body, and then she felt a little warmer.
And she also raised her eyes to look at the person who threw the cloak to her.
The night was dark, and the person was standing with a lantern on her back. Ruan Tang couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, and could only tell based on her tall and strong figure that she was a man.
Ruan Tang subconsciously moved his body, trying to get further away from him.
And the woman who had just entered the water to rescue her also climbed onto the boat.
Seeing Ruan Tang sitting there motionless, he couldn't help but said: "Girl, hurry in, what are you doing sitting here? Do you want to freeze to death?"
"Brother, it's true. The girl is shivering from the cold, and you don't know how to let people in."
The woman was bold and forthright, and her words were filled with complaints about the man.
The man just smiled and said nothing.
But the woman walked directly to Ruan Tang, helped her up, and then pulled her into the cabin.
After Ruan Tang sat in the cabin, he suddenly remembered that Chu Mu was still soaking in the water.
I don’t know whether I am dead or alive now.
"Can you help me save someone else?"
"Who? Is she also a delicate girl like you?" the woman joked.
She and her brother came to Beijing to find her cousin. When passing by this lake, they saw the boat in the center of the lake on fire. They didn't care about anything else and rowed a boat on the shore and headed here.
But not long after paddling out, I saw people splashing in the water.
The woman jumped without thinking, and the man couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, the person who was rescued was a woman. If it were a man, wouldn't she be getting married here?
After all, the people in Shangjing City are no better than those in the northwest, and the folk customs here are strict.
"No, it's a man. He was injured. I tied him to the wooden board. I don't know how he is now? Can you go over and have a look?"
"Why not?" the woman said as she shouted to the man outside, "Brother, go save people."
The man didn't speak, but he had already sailed towards the burning ship.
But before they got there, they saw several ships coming from the other side, rushing ahead of them and seeming to rescue someone from the water onto the ship.
"Girl, your friend seems to have been rescued. Do you still want to go over?" the man outside asked.
Ruan Tang stood up hurriedly, walked out of the cabin again, and looked towards the ship.
By the light of the burning fire, we did see a few small boats, but not long after, those small boats sailed towards the other shore.
Now that someone saved him, she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
But she also wanted to make sure whether it was the people from Prince Ning's Mansion who came to save him, or the group of men in black tonight?
"Can you please send me to the shore over there, please?" Ruan Tang pointed in the direction of those small boats.
"Of course you can."
Ruan Tang returned to the cabin and had time to look at the woman who rescued her.
Her complexion was slightly dark, but her facial features were delicate and pretty, and her round eyes were extremely smart and exotic.
But her pretty appearance couldn't hide the heroic spirit exuding from her body.
She likes girls like this who are straightforward and not tiring to get along with.
The woman looked at her unblinkingly, and then couldn't help sighing: "The girl is so beautiful, even more beautiful than my mother."
Her mother was from Suzhou. She was gentle and affectionate by nature, and her appearance was also charming.
But the woman in front of her was more beautiful than her mother, so pretty and delicate that she, a woman, couldn't help but fall in love with her when she saw her.
Ruan Tang blushed with embarrassment as she stared at her and praised him.
"My name is Tana, that's my brother Mog, what's your name?"
"My name is Ruan Tang."
"Ruan Tang?" Tana suddenly stood up excitedly when she heard these two words.
"You are Ruan Tang from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and your mother's name is Wen Zhinian?"
Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment. The original owner's mother seemed to have this name.
She nodded to Tana hesitantly, "Well, do you know my mother?"
However, when Tana saw her nodding, she rushed over and hugged her.
"Sister, I finally found you. We are Wen Zhixin's children, your aunt's children. You are my cousin, and that is your cousin."
Ruan Tang did not find these two people in the memory of the original owner, and was a little confused for a moment.
Tana was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so after letting her go, she quickly took out a portrait from the bag beside her.
Then spread it out in front of her.
In the portrait, there is a mother and daughter, Wen Zhinian and Ruan Tang when they were children.
Tana was still afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she took out another longevity lock.
"This is my mother's. My mother said that my eldest aunt also has one. They are twins. When they were born, my grandfather specially asked craftsmen to make them. There is a word for 'read' and a word for 'heart' on them."
Ruan Tang is wearing a longevity lock around his neck at the moment.
It was left by the original owner and she always wore it.
She took out the longevity lock hanging from her neck and put it together with Tana's.
The workmanship and style are indeed the same, and the word 'read' and the word 'heart' are indeed engraved on them.
"A few years ago, after my mother received the news that my grandfather's family was being slaughtered, she almost fainted from crying. Then she heard that you were still alive, so she came here to look for you, but she didn't find you at that time."
"Later I heard that you were gone, and my mother was sad for a long time when she went back. But some time ago, my mother arranged for the spy here to report that you had returned home, so my brother and I came to look for you. Unexpectedly, it was so What a coincidence, I saw you as soon as I arrived in Beijing."
Tana said, unable to hold back the tears.
Although Ruan Tang did not find them in the memory of the original owner, he was moved by her sincerity.
And now they are his saviors.
She didn't doubt what they said.
Moreover, the girl in front of her is pure and pure, and does not look like a bad person. If they are really her cousin, then she can be considered to have relatives in this world.
