Lanke Chess Edge

Over the years, in the section of the Chunmu River on the edge of Chunhui Mansion, there has been a rumor widely spread in the ears of people who live by the water that if someone falls into the water and is in critical condition, they are very likely to be rescued by the River God of Chunmu.

Unlike many people who just heard a story, the man on this boat was named Li Jinlai. He knew that many of these rumors were likely to be true. He had already found three people who had fallen into the water to verify.

One is a drunk man who fell into the water from a flower boat, the other is a rice-washing woman who accidentally fell into the water, and the other is a child from a village outside the city who went to the riverside with his friends to play with homemade lanterns.

None of these three people can swim, or because of some reasons, they can swim but cannot swim. They are all sure that they were choked and uncomfortable after falling into the water. side to survive.

Among them, the child who fell into the water was the most bizarre. According to the child, when they went out of the village to play on the river beach outside the village and set up homemade lanterns, they saw a very delicate lantern on the river, which looked like wooden patterns. Although the candles on the carved ones have been extinguished, compared with the thatched paper lanterns made by children playing around, they are simply phoenixes and crows.

The children immediately tried their best to get the lantern far away on the river, and the lantern kept floating along the river, and the children kept chasing it. Finally, they reached a section of the river where the water surface was very high from the shore, and the lantern stopped at a certain place. On the water-saving grass, the children want to pick it up there.

As a result, a child stepped on the raised pebbles on the wall of the shore, held his partner's hand and leaned down to fish. When he grabbed the lantern, he felt a pulling force, which directly caused him to fall into the water, and the children on the bank were almost taken down.

Then the child felt that the feet were entangled by water plants, and the entanglement was deep. He was able to swim, but he choked a lot of saliva, but when he opened his eyes under the water, he saw a terrifying figure with long hair and swollen body. The terrified child was only scratching in panic.

At this time, there was a blue light approaching underwater, and then there was a vibration at the bottom of the water. The child felt his ankles were lifted and something seemed to be sitting under his buttocks. He surfaced directly and was sent to the shore. Pulled by his friends, he rolled and crawled ashore.

The children's villagers, especially the elderly, firmly believed that what the children encountered should be Shui Gong, that is, the water ghost, and that the blue light must have been rescued by the river god Chunmu, thanks to the respect of the children's parents on weekdays. Jiang Shen.

Afterwards, the three of them also believed that it was Chunmu Jiangshen who saved them, or they or their parents led them together, and took tributes to Jiangshen Temple to thank them for their kindness.

Of course, Li Jinlai didn't just ask these three people, but also asked more people who fell into the river. Many of them were rescued by luck or boatmen who knew how to swim. I don't know how many people fall into the water on the Chunmu River every year. After all, those who really claimed to be saved by Jiang Shen were only a small part.

The three of them have the same caliber, that is, they all saw the blue light under the water in a daze, and all three of them were when there were few people, or at least there was no one around who had the ability to help. in the presence of humans.

However, the man was almost certain that it was not Chunmu River God who saved these people, or at least not the river god himself, but a river god fish.

Last autumn, Li Jin came to visit some relatives for a wedding banquet at the rich family Wei's family in Anda County, Qinglu Prefecture. He saw a carp woodcarving in the ancestral hall. After careful questioning, he realized that it was not a carp, but a herring. But it didn't say why it was enshrined.

Later, at the wine table, an elder who was close to the Wei family told him a story, saying that their second master encountered a strange incident more than ten or twenty years ago. He was rescued by Shenyu, and then he met a fairy in the mist on the way to play.

The elders didn't say much about the details of meeting the immortal, or they may not be clear, but the matter of Shenyu saving people was clearly explained, and after that, it is said that because of the immortal's advice, the Wei family enshrined this statue in the ancestral hall Herring statue.

Li Jinlai knew very well that the Wei family in Anda County had been doing well in the past few years, and it could be regarded as a lot of money. After hearing this, he felt that the Wei family's prosperity must have something to do with it.

It just so happened that Li Jinlai heard about the rescue of those who fell into the water on the Chunmu River a few times in Chunhuifu City by chance, so he paid attention to it for a while, and spent a certain amount of time inquiring about it. What I heard was true, and my mind became more and more active.

Li Jinlai knew that a very powerful sorcerer lived in Chunhui Mansion. It is said that even the dignitaries in the capital need to respect this sorcerer. Li Jinlai had asked that sorcerer for the method of wealth and honor before, but the sorcerer said that he was a person who cultivated immortality, no May help him.

But this time Li Jinlai visited the mage again with "sincerity", told him about Shenyu, and begged again, the mage let go, and for the sake of "sincerity", he gave him a spell, and carefully Instructed some things.

So Li Jinlai, who was good at swimming, designed the scene on the river at night by himself, in order to hope that the god fish would come to save him.

...

"Help...Is there anyone to save someone? Someone fell into the water...!"

The woman's screams were carried far away on the quiet Chunmu River at night, and the man in the water was also thrashing hard. In fact, the man was thrashing with all his strength, and even drank several sips of water.

Although it's spring now, the weather is still very cold, and people don't wear thin clothes. This man didn't expect that his hands and feet would be so bound when he entered the water with his clothes on, as if he had been thrown into the water.

The water in the river was also very cold, and with the surging waves of the river in spring under the evening wind, the man who was originally a fair swimmer had already drank several sips of water, his whole body was so cold that he was already trembling when he spoke.

"Quick, hurry up and keep shouting, hurry up..."

"Okay, come quickly, come quickly, help me...!"

The woman shouted with all her strength, and even in the distance, there was a boat with lanterns hanging on its bow, turning its bow and heading in this direction, but it seemed that it was still far away.

"Clatter... clatter clatter..."

The man was so cold that his hands and feet were stiff and he was paddling hard, his clothes were as heavy as iron.

"Cough cough cough... vomit..."

He drank several sips of water in a row, but after such a short time, the man's mental and physical strength were a little bit overwhelmed.

"No, I can't... I have to go up, I, I have to go up!"

The man paddled the water vigorously, swam close to the painting boat beside him, and then stretched out his hand to grab the side of the boat, but his physical strength no longer allowed him to jump a certain height in the water, and the side of the painting boat was not very low, so he couldn't catch the side of the boat. You can touch Guanghua's side and bottom of the boat.

"Xiaoyu, hurry up, give me a hand!"

The man in the water was in a hurry, his head was already ups and downs in the water, he kept waving his hands and wanted to get on the boat, scurrying in the water again and again consumed more of his precious energy.

"Huh? Grab my hand, grab it!"

The woman on the boat also became anxious. She could see that something was wrong with the man, but she was afraid of the water. She shrank by the side of the boat and stretched out one hand, while the other hand was firmly holding on to the side of the boat. Their hands touched Arrived a few times, but slipped away.

"Use the boat pole, use the boat pole!"

The man was in a panic, and the woman became more and more panicked. She grabbed the bamboo pole on one side, moved it for a while, and passed it in the right direction. Let go of the paddle.

The man who just got up from the water fell into the water again with a "plop", and choked up several saliva, his physical strength was even close to freezing point.

I want to hold the bamboo pole but the buoyancy is not enough.

"Hurry up, throw some, throw some tables, stools and chairs down, I, I'm about to die..."

The man is really panicking now, but his physical strength can't even utter a complete sentence.

The woman on the boat was more panicked than the man under the boat. Hearing this clearly, she hurried back to the cabin of the painting boat, looked around to find a stool, and moved it up.

Hastily ran outside to the side of the boat, the man's slapping in the water was much lower than before, but seeing the woman coming out with a wooden stool, he gave birth to some hope. At this moment, there is no magic fish in his mind. That wooden bench was the lifesaver.

"Quick, throw it to me..."

So the woman hurriedly threw the wooden stool into the water, but...

With a sound of "dong", the wooden stool hit Li Jinlai's forehead, his eyes turned white, and he sank straight into the water.

"Ah—Mr. Li! Mr. Li——come and help me——"

The woman on the boat screamed in fright, and the sound was several grades higher than before.

The moment Li Jinlai was hit by the stool, the thought in his mind was 'my life is over! '

But not long after he sank into the water, a cyan light and shadow swam past him, and then slowly lifted him to the surface of the water.

The man had already passed out, and the women on the boat obviously couldn't afford to pull such a man whose clothes were filled with water, so there was a "bang", and the man was thrown directly onto the boat amidst the explosion of water.

"Young Master Li, Young Master Li!"

The woman looked at the gradually subdued ripples in the water, and ran to the man in panic, pushed him and patted him.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Li Jinlai spat out a few mouthfuls of water, obviously he was not awake yet, but curled up instinctively trembling.

Ji Yuan, Bai Qi and the old turtle in the water were all looking in that direction, watching the big herring swimming back after saving people.

"Hehe, it's just a farce."

Ji Yuan said something lightly.
