"You finally woke up!" The young man's eyes lit up, and his smile looked like a pair of crescent moons. "Looking at the injuries on your body, I thought you would be in a coma for a day and a night!"
After seeing the young man, the big dog immediately came up to him and rubbed his body affectionately. The young man gently held its huge head. The big dog, which was so ferocious just now, was now like a docile little milk dog.
Chen Chang stared at the young man infatuatedly, who is this man?
Could it be that he saved me?
"Little brother, where is this?"
"Is this in a dream?"
"Am I still alive?" Chen Chang was so excited that he babbled nonsense.
The young man stood in front of the couch and said with a smile: "You are so strange. Of course you are alive. How can you be treated like this in the underworld?"
"We were boating in the river and happened to find you falling into the water, so we rescued you."
"In order to save you, all my clothes got wet!"
"What is your name, where are you from, and where are you going? What happened to you, and how did you end up drowning in the river?..."
The boy's questions were like a barrage of questions, leaving Chen Chang unable to answer for a while.
He asked anxiously: "Then... what about the girl who fell into the water with me? How is she?"
The moment before he lost consciousness, Chen Chang knew that Shui Ling'er was still holding on to him tightly. She seemed to be very afraid of water before jumping into the river. Without his help, how could she survive in this turbulent place?
Survive in the river?
Thinking of this, Chen Chang's heart was in his throat.
"Girl?" The boy was stunned.
Seeing his reaction, Chen Chang's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the Nine Nether Valley.
Yes, she was a weak woman who didn't know how to swim at all. She must have been buried in this big river. Now her body can't even be found.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad, my eyes turned red, and tears rolled in my eyes.
Chen Chang, Chen Chang, why wasn’t you the one who died? Why wasn’t you?
Regret, anger, grief, and various complex emotions gathered in his chest, instantly forcing the icy cold air in his chest to dissipate, only to be replaced by endless pain.
His body seemed to have been drained of energy, and he leaned limply on the couch.
Seeing his decadent appearance, the young man couldn't help but scornfully said: "Hey, look at you, how old are you? Do you have such a big reaction?"
Facing the boy's ridicule, Chen Chang had no reaction. He was still immersed in infinite regret, and his head kept hitting the wooden board behind him.
The young man frowned and curled his lips, saying, "What's the matter with you? We rescued you out of kindness, but what if you wrecked our boat? I don't think you are a rich man. How could you be as beautiful as a flower?"
Give us your little lady?"
Chen Chang's mind was like a mess, and only a few words of the young man's words fell into his ears. He suddenly stopped banging and looked at the young man blankly, his eyes seemed to be cannibalistic.
"What did you just say? What did you give me?" Chen Chang wanted to grab the young man's hand.
The young man was a child after all. Seeing his terrifying expression, he immediately took a few steps back.
The big black dog seemed to feel that its little master was threatened, and let out a low growl from deep in its throat. Its two bell-like eyes stared at the stranger on the couch, revealing its sharp canine teeth. As long as the little master gave an order,
, will immediately pounce on the guy who threatens the little master and tear him into pieces.
"I...I..." The boy's voice trembled. He wanted to turn around and run away, but suddenly he remembered what he said to his sister on the deck. He was now a man, and he still wanted to protect his mother and sister.
How can you be scared off by a half-drowned scholar?
His faith was electric, and he clenched his two small fists tightly, ready to fight back at any time: "What...are you going to do? I'm...not afraid of you, I also...have Hu Niu to help..."
The big dog roared tactfully, seemingly in response to the little master's courage.
Chen Chang didn't care about the big dog looking at it eagerly, and grabbed the young man's arm, using some force because of his excitement.
The young man grabbed his wrist and grimaced in pain, almost crying.
"What did you just say?"
"Of course...of course...I was just joking, just joking..."
The young man mistakenly thought that Chen Chang was angry because he wanted to give his wife to him.
"Let me ask you, where is she?"
"She...she...she is in my sister's cabin..."
"She's not dead?" Chen Chang was so excited that he held his hand harder.
"Oh, oh..." The young man's face turned green, "Who... said she was dead..."
"Then just now..." Chen Chang still refused to let go. Just then he asked him about Shui Ling'er's whereabouts. The young man was obviously stunned for a moment, giving him the feeling that he had never seen Shui Ling'er before or that Shui Ling'er was already in trouble.
p>
"Let go first, let go... Oh, oh..." The young man frowned, groaned in pain, and struggled a few times.
Chen Chang woke up from a dream, hurriedly let go of his hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. By the way, you mean that the girl who fell into the water with me is not dead, right? She is here
On this boat?"
"Of course he's not dead!" The young man first rolled his eyes at Chen Chang, then frowned and rubbed his red and swollen wrists, sucking in the cold air from time to time.
"Didn't I just say that it's in my sister's cabin."
Although the young man was in terrible pain, he knew that he should not have thought of lying to him just now. Seeing how much he cared about his wife, he suddenly thought of his sister. It would be a blessing if his brother-in-law could love and care for his sister like this scholar.
.
"Quick, take me to see her!" Chen Chang struggled to get down.
The young man said angrily: "Humph, for a grown man, you actually let a woman carry you to escape in the water. If it weren't for her, you would have drowned before we could rescue you on the boat.
”
"What did you say?" Chen Chang was stunned, holding his arms in the air, and fell off the couch. His forehead hit the ground, his eyes went dark, and he fainted immediately.
The young man jumped to his feet and said: "Hey, Huniu, you have to testify for me in front of my sister. It was this idiot who fell out of bed by himself. It has nothing to do with me..."
……
"Hey, wake up, wake up..."
"Xingchen, are you naughty again?"
"I didn't, it was him... Look at my arms... Oh, if you don't believe me, you can ask Hu Niu."
"Ouch..."
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Chang woke up faintly amid a burst of noise.
What caught my eye was the young man who had just come in. His face was a little red, as if he had just been scolded.
Next to the young man is another young Taoist priest. Only a profile of his face can be seen. He is wearing an ordinary gray and green Taoist robe, but he cannot hide his graceful and noble aura.
Both of them were facing Chen Chang from the side, so they didn't notice that he had woken up.
Chen Chang was a little puzzled. It was clearly a conversation between a young man and a woman, but there was no one else in the cabin except the three of them.
He couldn't help but glance at the young Taoist. There was a red sandalwood hook stuck in the Taoist bun, and his black hair was as if dyed with lacquer. The Taoist just tilted his head slightly.
His appearance is strange and handsome, his eyes are clear in black and white, and piercing. The whisk in his hand is made of white jade, and the hand holding the whisk handle is as white as the white jade handle.
Suddenly I heard the young Taoist say: "He was lying on the couch fine. If he hadn't been provoked by your words, how could he have fallen off the couch?"
"You have to have separate occasions to be naughty. What a mess!"
The voice is crisp, delicate and tender, almost like a woman's.
Chen Chang already knew that this young man was his savior. After hearing this, he hurriedly struggled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
The young Taoist and the boy turned around at the same time, looking at Chen Chang with surprised eyes. After the boy was slightly startled, he immediately jumped to the couch, pointed at Chen Chang in surprise and said to the young Taoist: "Sister, I'm just going to say
Is he okay!"
The young Taoist walked up to Chen Chang and said loudly: "Langjun finally woke up! Just now, it was my naughty brother who offended Langjun. I hope Langjun will forgive me!"
Chen Chang hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "How dare you, how dare you! I would also like to thank you for saving my life. I don't know how to call you by your name?"
The young Taoist said: "I don't dare to say my maiden name, so I just don't say it."
Chen Chang felt happy when he heard that she admitted that she was a woman disguised as a man, which showed her sincerity in treating her.
The young man named Xingchen looked at Chen Chang suspiciously, and asked with a straight face like a little adult: "Hey, I forgot to ask you just now, what is your name?"
Chen Chang saw that he was serious, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This boy and the young Taoist priest are brother and sister, but why is this woman wearing a Taoist robe? Is she really a Taoist monk?<
/p>
His thoughts were a bit strange, so he kept a secret and did not tell the whole truth.
He stood up and crossed his hands and saluted: "My dear Yang Qilang, I encountered bandits when I was going to Jiangling City. In order to avoid the bandits' pursuit, I ran away with my wife. Who knew that there was a big river blocking the road ahead, and the two of us couldn't bear to leave."
After being humiliated at the hands of bandits, they both jumped into the river. Thank you to the young lady and the young man for saving your life."
"Oh, by the way, I want to see my wife?"
As he spoke, he stood up.
The young man was kind-hearted and stepped forward to help him, but he said, "I'm warning you, don't vomit. When I first rescued you, you vomited all over my sister, causing her to have no choice but to vomit."
Go change clothes."
Only then did Chen Chang realize that the woman in front of him had changed her robe because of him, and he couldn't help but apologize again and again.
The woman waved her hands repeatedly: "When life and death are at stake, this little thing doesn't mean anything?"
The woman's original intention was to let him continue to lie down and rest, so she called Shui Ling'er over. Unexpectedly, Chen Chang was eager to see Shui Ling'er and walked out of the cabin regardless of the dissuasion.
Men and women were not close to each other, so the important task of supporting Chen Chang fell on Xingchen's shoulders. As he walked, the little guy muttered: "I said you are quite a big man, but you don't seem to know how to drink at all."
, and let a weak woman drag you swimming in the water. Isn’t it embarrassing? Is it embarrassing?”
