Chapter 523: Luoshui Ruthless Man Saves Himself

When Cui Xi fell into the water, Yang Xiankang jumped in without a second thought. In fact, he was not as good at swimming as Cui Xi. After all, when Yang Xianguang and Yang Xianlian fell into the water, Yang Xuanzhi required everyone in the Yang family to learn how to swim. He was reluctant to let his daughter soak in the water, so he required the maids around her to learn and be proficient.

Cui Xi learned very quickly and even became very proficient in it. Even when she fell into the water in such a dangerous situation, she was still able to react quickly and constantly adjust her posture and breathing to reduce the risk of injury from the impact of the water flow. She also observed the surrounding situation as quickly as possible and saved herself quickly.

She saw Yang Xianlian being swept into the whirlpool and struggling desperately. Out of obedience to her master, she still wanted to reach out and pull her out. But at this moment, the Yang family's carriage crashed towards them.

Especially in turbulent water, the Yang family carriage becomes extremely large and has great power. If you are hit by it or swept away by it, you will definitely die.

At the last moment, Cui Xi held her breath and sank to the bottom of Luoshui River. The edge of the carriage just slipped over her head. There was a woman hanging on the shaft of the carriage. She pulled her to her side. It was at this time that Yang Xiankang also swam over and helped her lift the woman out of the water.

Only then did they see clearly that this was He Jiunian's mother, Yanniang Yannan.

Fortunately, Yan Niang was just frightened and drank a lot of water, so she was still conscious.

The three of them didn't care about much, and pulled each other to swim towards the shore. But the current was too fast, so they had to give up and let their bodies move forward in the direction of the current.

Yang Xiankang tried to get as close to Cuixi as possible and shouted to her, "There is a wide area of ​​water further ahead where the current is not so fast. We should try to hold on until we get there and find a place to go ashore. We must hold on a little longer!"

“Okay!” Cui Xi held his hand, and the two of them held onto Yan Niang. Finally, they were safe and sound and slowly stopped in the wide water area. They found a small sandy area that had been washed out, climbed up, and took a short rest.

They also closely observed the situation in the water, trying to see if Yang Xianlian was still there.

But in this situation, the odds are stacked against you.

If Cui Xi and Yang Xiankang hadn't reacted quickly, they would have sunk to the bottom of the water long ago.

The small sandy area where the three of them were located was in the middle of the entire water area, and there were a lot of withered aquatic plants around it. This was why the people who were looking for them did not find them in time.

They waited until dawn, and the three of them couldn't stand the cold anymore.

Yang Xiankang suggested swimming to the other side to see the situation.

But Cui Xi disagreed. She said that she would at least wait until the weather got warmer before making any plans.

"Third sister will be so worried." Yang Xiankang was also very anxious.

"But we haven't found the five girls yet." Cui Xi was still observing the conditions on the water.

"Is it useful to look for her? She might as well be dead!" Yang Xiankang's face was full of anger. He already knew the meaning of what Yang Xianlian said, and all that was left in his heart was hatred. "What if she dragged my third sister into the water? Then I don't want to live anymore!"

"Erlang Jun, don't say that. It's not like that now..." Cui Xi knew that it was meaningless for her to persuade him like this, because that was the fact. "At least, the girl is fine now, and we are still alive." "Then I'm angry!" Yang Xiankang chopped the sand hard with his feet. "I'm really angry!"

"Yeah, I'm angry too." Cui Xi calmed down a lot. She and Yan Niang dried each other's hair, combed their hair into buns, and tidied up their wet dresses. "Second Master, now... the Fifth Girl should also be... we won't look for her. We... don't need to rush back."

"What?" For a moment, Yang Xiankang didn't understand Cui Xi's meaning.

Cui Xi pursed her lips and said, "The girl has always wanted to leave Luoyang, but she could never find a chance. Lan Xiang also reported her whereabouts before, so she had to return to the palace. I thought that now that I have come out, I should explore the way first and make plans for the girl's coming out."

"This... Is the third sister thinking about something again?" No one knows the third sister better than the second brother. Yang Xiankang still understands this sister who has too many thoughts.

"The girl wants to kill Sima Yue." Cui Xi answered with certainty.

"How can we kill him? He has an army of 200,000. My brother and I can't see him or get close to him. Besides, Sima Yue didn't rush to Luoyang to help this time. It was obviously intentional..."

"Yes, he did it on purpose, so we must kill him." Cui Xi had been with Yang Xianlian for too long and knew what she was thinking. "Although I don't know how the girl is going to do it, if she gets the chance, she will definitely kill him in one go."

"Then what can we do? There are only three of us." Yang Xiankang glanced at Yan Niang, who was pale and exhausted.

"Manager Zhang and Sister Daxi have already found a way to get close to Sima Yue, so they must be by his side. So, let's take this opportunity to hide by Sima Yue's side... Hey, who is that? Could it be Fellow Daoist Xu?" Because it was dawn, when Cui Xi was talking to Yang Xiankang, she actually saw Xu Henian standing on a wooden board and controlling the water forward, and he actually had the aura of an immortal.

The three of them couldn't help but look at Xu Henian with their eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

Yang Xiankang stood up and waved towards him vigorously: "Here! Brother Dao, we are here!"

"Use my tinderbox." After catching her breath, Yanniang took out an oilcloth bag from her bosom with great effort. Inside was a tinderbox that had not been soaked. Cuixi moved very quickly, pulling up weeds and tying them into a large bundle. After lighting the tinderbox, she asked Yang Xiankang to wave it vigorously.

The weeds in the early morning were stained with the moisture of the Luo River. There was no open flame, only thick white smoke.

However, it was this thick smoke that caught Xu Henian's attention. He adjusted his posture and actually arrived at their small sandy land as if flying from the water.

When four people meet, they naturally greet each other and exchange information.

Xu Henian mentioned that Qin Chaoge and Zhang Liangchu fell into the water together on the Yang family's carriage, and everyone was silent again. Cui Xi thought for a while before saying, "I saw the carriage, but there should be no one on it. The mistress's coffin was not in it either."

"The water is flowing too fast and I can't see clearly. I'll look along the river later." Except for the hem of his Taoist robe and his shoes being wet, Xu Henian was in good condition overall.

"It's like this... forget it." Yang Xiankang looked downstream. That small lake connected to the big lake, which meant that no matter what it was, as long as it passed through this area, it would flow to a wider area. It would be extremely difficult to find it again. And the four of them couldn't afford to lose any one more person.
