deadly mantra

Chapter 745: Whose family does the girl who drowned in the river belong to?

The night of the Ghost Festival.

People gathered together towards the long street, and the lights illuminated most of Feilong City.

The mage stood on the high sacrificial platform, grabbed a handful of powder, and threw it into the burning furnace.

There was a sound of "coaxing--".

Blue flames burst into the night sky.

The smell of smoke and fire permeated the entire city.

The air is pale and turbid, just like the human heart at this moment.

Ji Fanyin stood at the intersection with an empty basket, kicking the ground out of boredom. The sad atmosphere around her did not affect her mood at all.

A quarter of an hour ago, she and Shui Qingchen finished worshiping here on the path, and saw many people squatting on the river bank, setting off river lanterns to pray for the deceased.

She had never done anything like this before and found it novel. Shui Qingchen asked passers-by and then went to the street to buy river lanterns.

The night was chilly, Ji Fanyin took a long breath of cold air, turned around and walked towards the river.

On the long river, dense lamps swayed along the current.

Among the many river lanterns, Ji Fanyin spotted a very special one at a glance.

The candle was in the shape of a lotus, and the small candle lit in the heart flickered in the night wind.

The candlelight reflected on the sparkling river surface also caught Ji Fanyin's eyes.

She poked her head and moved a few steps toward the river, trying to see clearly which deceased person's name was written on the lamp and what wishes the living person had expected.

At this time, there was a commotion among the crowd at the lakeside.

Rapid footsteps, accompanied by panicked roars:
"Step aside--"

"Get out of the way!"

"Ahhhh! We're going to hit you! We're going to hit you! Get away!"

The throat-piercing screams came closer and closer.

Ji Fanyin finally pulled his attention away from the river lantern. With a bad feeling in his heart, he turned back suspiciously.Almost at the same time, a strong force hit her shoulder and back.

Ji Fanyin was startled, soared into the air and threw herself towards the river.

The surroundings were so chaotic that the frightened people only focused on protecting their sacrificial items. For a while, no one noticed that someone had "thrown into the river".

Including the initiator-Feng Xiaoyao.

With a haggard face, like a wild horse that had lost control, he rushed back to the road from the river, shouting continuously:

"careful!"

"Ah, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Ahhhhhh...get out of the way!"

"I can not stand it any more……"

"Ugh - it's too fast..."

"I'm going to faint..."

When Shui Qingchen came back from buying a river lantern, he saw someone charging towards him from a distance.

At first, he didn't recognize Feng Xiaoyao immediately because Feng Xiaoyao's messy hair covered her face, her clothes were torn and torn, and she smelled like she hadn't taken a shower.How could this be Brother Feng who never had to make do with food, clothing, shelter and transportation?

As they got closer, Shui Qingchen recognized the voice, and was slightly shaken by Feng Xiaoyao's too thin cheeks.

The thought that flashed through my mind was: What did Brother Feng go through during this period of separation?Didn't Xiaoyin send someone to protect her?Why do you protect people like this?
Getting closer, Shui Qingchen's eyes darkened, and he finally noticed something strange about Feng Xiaoyao. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed Feng Xiaoyao's shoulders, and touched several key points with the sword finger of his right hand, stopping Feng Xiaoyao's "involuntary expression." running around.

"Brother Feng, can you still hold on?" Shui Qingchen asked with concern.

"It's okay..." Seeing an acquaintance, Feng Xiaoyao relaxed completely and leaned dizzily on Shui Qingchen's body, breathing heavily.

Shui Qingchen helped Feng Xiaoyao into the pavilion on the roadside. After he calmed down for a while, he asked:
"Brother Feng, who have you offended?"

Feng Xiaoyao was stunned:
"Who? Me? Who did I offend?"
