Chapter 164 I am just me
Mrs. Yang counted the coppers in the cabin, and from time to time he made two happy hecks.

The corners of Grandpa Zou's mouth were also raised, thinking that he would be able to share a lot of copper coins this night, and he was in a good mood. Seeing people standing there on both sides of the strait, he raised his voice and said, "Do you want to hire a boat?"

Seeing this, Huo Xi smiled.

The river wind was blowing with water vapor, she closed her eyes and sniffed hard, her nose was full of watery smell, but it was not unpleasant.Open your eyes again, the lights on both sides of the strait are bright, and the lanterns are fluttering with the wind.

"Mother, how many times have you counted, but you still haven't figured it out yet?"

"I understand the counting, but who is not happy counting copper coins?"

Yang also grabbed a handful of copper plates, picked them up high, and then loosened the gap a little, the copper plates fell down along the gaps in the palms and hit the copper plates.That crisp crashing sound is delightful to listen to.

"It's delightful to hear. If it wasn't for rowing, I'd like to count too."

Grandpa Zou smiled while rocking the boat, is there anyone who is not happy to count coppers?He felt delicious just by smelling it.

Huo Xi shook his head with a smile, and turned his gaze to the river again.

After picking up and dropping off several guests, she has an understanding of the capital's waterways.The capital’s waterways are criss-crossed and extend in all directions. Many ordinary people like to hire boats when they travel.

This road carries passengers and sells goods at the same time, and the business is very good.

The boat turns into an alley, the river narrows, and the pavilions and water houses on both sides are close in front of you. You can reach the window sash by standing up straight and raising your hand.

Huo Xi looked at the pavilions and water houses on both sides of the river, and saw the faint candlelight inside. She stood up, put her hands around her mouth, and was just about to shout, when suddenly there was a plop in front of her, and something flew out of a window.

Before it was too late to see clearly, the thing had already submerged into the water, and the water splashed, creating several layers of waves.

Huo Xi was still in a daze, but Yang had already got out of the cabin: "Someone fell into the water! Hurry up, row over!"

It's people!Huo Xi regained consciousness and looked at the water ahead.

Uncle Zou's men quickly rowed towards the waves.

Huo Xi stared blankly at the place where the water was rippling, did he throw the water or was it pushed by someone?Why didn't it come up?
Looking up at the window sill, I saw that two windows were open, and the lights inside were bright, but no one came to check.

Just thinking about it, the boat has rowed to the place where it fell into the water, and the person who fell into the water also floated up.

"Quick, quick!" Yang greeted.

Huo Xi panicked: "Mother, what should I do?"

"Give the pole to Mother!" Yang clapped the side of the boat and ordered Huo Xi urgently.

Huo Xi hurriedly went to draw a long pole.The long pole is used to deliver goods to customers, to help boats turn around and dock, and to catch fish when lowering the net.Each boat has one or two.

Yang grabbed the side of the boat and stretched out a hand to reach into the river, trying to grab the man's clothes, but unfortunately he couldn't.The whole person lay down on the board of the boat again, and reached into the river with both hands.

Huo Xi hurriedly used a bamboo pole to help hook, stirred the clothes of the woman who fell into the water, and pulled them towards the boat.

The man was facing down, and his appearance and age could not be seen clearly.A head of black hair spread out in the water, and the clothes on his body also spread out in the water, revealing two white and tender legs, which were very thin.

It should be a young woman, Huo Xi thought.

"Xi'er, come and help mother!"

Huo Xi hurriedly shook off the thoughts in his head, put down the bamboo pole, and reached out to help.The mother and daughter worked together to get the man aboard.

"Are you still alive?" Grandpa Zou asked anxiously at the stern of the boat.

"I don't know yet." Huo Xi replied.

After a while, he shouldn't die, right?As soon as she jumped into the river, they rowed the boat over and fished her, so she should still be alive.

"Mother, quickly help her control the water." Seeing Yang Shi feeling the pulse on her neck, Huo Xi hurriedly urged her.

When Yang heard this, she hurriedly controlled the water for the woman.

It is common for those who live in the water to fall into the water, and everyone has learned the ability to save themselves and others.

Without Huo Xi's instructions, Yang pressed her palms rhythmically on the woman's chest and abdomen, turned her over again, and pressed her knees against the other's abdomen, back and forth several times, seeing water flow out of the woman's mouth , Pushing her again, until there was no more water to spit out, then turned her over.

"Are you awake?" Seeing the woman slowly opened her eyes, Yang's voice was full of surprise.

"Why do you want to save me?" The woman closed her eyes again.

Uh……

This is his own death?
Yang couldn't bear it, and brushed the hair covering her face away with her hands.A young and delicate face was revealed.

Sighing, she said earnestly, "Girl, it's better to live than to die. After death, it's really all over and nothing is left. You're still so young, why bother to think about it."

Seeing the woman's eyes closed tightly, she didn't say a word.

Mrs. Yang sighed, and said again: "No matter how hard it is, I will get over it after a while. Before my family was hungry and had no food, and it was windy and rainy, and there was no place to shelter from the wind and rain. Now my family can You have enough food, and you have a deposit at home. You are the same, if there is any difficulty, you will get over it after a while."

Seeing the woman's beautiful face, Huo Xi glanced at the pavilions and water rooms on both sides, and then heard the faint laughter of men and women, and sighed.

It is said that the Qinhuai River is ten miles away, and the land of golden powder in the Six Dynasties. I don't know how many beauties have been imprisoned in this pavilion and water house.

He said to the woman who closed her eyes tightly and wanted to die: "If the sky has no eyes and the world is unfair, you can fight it. You are not afraid of death, but are you afraid of living?"

The woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Huo Xi.

Huo Xi also looked back at her.

Mrs. Yang also chimed in: "Yes, there is only one God, but there are so many people in the world, how can everyone be taken care of. God can't take care of you, so let's take care of ourselves. Look at the water of the Qinhuai River, we boats Going forward is going with the current, going back is going against the current, how can it always be smooth and smooth. The moon is full and waning."

Grandpa Zou also helped to persuade: "Yes, you are still so young, I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old. What a pity to die. I don't know if my parents and family members know, how sad it must be."

Huo Xi saw a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, and sighed secretly.

"You died once, from this moment on, you are just you, live for yourself. Wait until you really can't hold on, then dance."

"Xi'er!" Mrs. Yang went to pull Huo Xi, why did she persuade her to die.

The man looked at Huo Xi steadily.

Mrs. Yang was about to help Huo Xiyuan get back to what she said just now, when she heard a movement in front of her: "Where is the person? Oh, I can't really jump into the river, right?"

Huo Xi and the others all looked at the window sill, and saw several people looking over their heads.

"there!"

"You damn girl, you really want to die! Go, bring her back to me!" A beautifully dressed middle-aged woman ordered.

Huo Xi saw someone running away behind her.

"Shall we send you away?" Although there are some risks, but there are many waterways, the other party may not be able to catch up.

The woman shook her head and struggled to sit up: "Thank you very much. Don't implicate you."

"It's okay, we don't admit it. If you want to escape, we can send you a piece."

The woman shook her head, her eyes were firm: "Send me to the front steps."

"You..." Yang wanted to say more, but Huo Xi held her back.

The woman looked at Huo Xi: "You're right. I'm not even afraid of death. There's nothing to be afraid of living. From today on, I'm just me."

Huo Xi was stunned, watching the boat stop at the steps on the bank, watching her step ashore on the diving board, and watching her being twisted away by her arms.I feel depressed.
