The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 24 Weird
The guards were all busy setting up camp and feeding their mounts.

The injured were bandaging each other and applying medicine.

The guard who was filling a water bag with water by the river heard the sound of a person falling into the water and glanced into the river.

Seeing that it was Zhao Chong who fell into the water, he didn't take it to heart.

The weather was hot, and they had just fought with the men in black, so their bodies were more or less stained with blood. When they were done, they wanted to go down to the river and wash themselves like Zhao Chong did.

No one knew that Zhao Chong was dragged into the water, and Zhao Chong was not panicked at this moment.

The people who hid in the water and attacked him must be the men in black from before.

Zhao Chong was very calm. The moment he fell into the water, he had already pulled out his dagger and swung it out quickly.

The expected hit did not happen, Zhao Chong did not even frown.
He turned his hand and stabbed his ankle hard.

Once again, his attempt failed and Zhao Chong was stunned.

He quickly glanced around.

Why is there no one?
Just as Zhao Chong was feeling suspicious, something grabbed his ankles and pulled him under the water.

Zhao Chong struggled while swinging his dagger, slashing, stabbing, and stabbing...

Both legs kicked out fiercely at the same time.

However, neither the dagger nor his legs touched anything.

Zhao Chong's face was filled with astonishment.

He searched around quickly.

There were no people in the water, not even a single plant.

But the feeling of his ankle being dragged was still there.

The words of the Taoist nun suddenly rang in Zhao Chong's mind, "Guard Zhao, there is a cross pattern on your philtrum, which indicates drowning. You must break this calamity within three months, otherwise you will drown..."

This sticky touch... Zhao Chong shuddered.

Is he... haunted by a water ghost?
Guard Zhou, who was filling a water bag with water by the river, saw that Zhao Chong had not come out since he went into the water.

He frowned and asked, "Why hasn't Brother Zhao come up yet? Could he have drowned?"

Guard Xu wiped the water off his face and said disapprovingly, "Zhao Chong swims better than a fish, how could he drown?"

The older guard nearby also laughed and said, "That boy must have sunk down to catch fish."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and no one took it seriously.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a loud shout, "Help..."

The guard by the river heard the noise and turned back to see two arms waving in the water.

He laughed and cursed at He Zhong, "Zhao Chong, you are itching for trouble, you dare to tease us."

Guard Xu also shouted into the river, "Zhao Chong, since you still have the energy to do this, why don't you catch a few more fish for the brothers to eat."

Zhao Chong was angry and anxious at this moment.

He struggled for a long time under the water, but couldn't get rid of the restraints on his ankles. Seeing that he was about to drown, he bit his tongue with a breath and floated to the surface.

After finally shouting for help, he was dragged away again.

He was about to drown, but his good brothers were only thinking about eating fish.

Zhao Chong regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He thought his brother was unreliable.

I can only scream frantically in my heart: Fairy, come and save me...

Guard Zhou looked at the tumbling river water, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Brother Xu, why do I feel like Brother Zhao isn't teasing us? Does he really look like he's drowning?"

Guard Xu blurted out, "Impossible."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a familiar command from behind, "Zhao Chong is drowning, go and save him quickly."

The three guards turned around and saw Xiao Jin walking towards them quickly with a sullen face.

While they were still in confusion, someone had already jumped into the river and swam quickly towards Zhao Chong.

The guards around Xiao Jin were all trained. Although they were not as good at swimming as Zhao Chong, they were still fast enough and found him quickly.

But what no one expected was that although they caught Zhao Chong, they tried their best but couldn't pull him away.

The guard thought that Zhao Chong's feet were entangled by water plants or something, so he immediately sank into the water and wanted to use a dagger to help cut the water plants.

But what surprised the guard was that there was nothing on Zhao Chong's feet.

This time everyone was confused.

With the strength of the four of them, they could lift up not only Zhao Chong, but even a heavy carriage.

Seeing that Zhao Chong had fainted, no one had time to think about it.

Dragging, pulling, tugging, lifting...all kinds of methods were tried, but Zhao Chong was like being welded in water, unable to move at all.

It was such a weird scene that several guards got goosebumps.

I am at a loss.

Yang Feng swam over quickly and saw that Zhao Chong had fainted. He stepped forward to help without thinking.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched Zhao Chong's arm, Yang Feng felt a sudden heat in his arms.

Before he could react, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly came from the water.

The voice was so strange and eerie that the guards shuddered at the same time.

Everyone was very alert and looked around.

But the strange thing is.

There was no one else under the water except them.

Even though these guards were used to living on the edge of a knife, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Yang Feng remained calm and quickly pulled Zhao Chong toward the surface of the water.

When the guards saw that he actually dragged Zhao Chong, they were surprised and happy and hurried to help.

After finally floating to the surface, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could swim to the shore, they suddenly felt something sink in their hands and grabbed Zhao Chong, dragging him under the water.

Several guards were so scared that they cursed in their hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Chong was their colleague, they would have wanted to abandon him and run for their lives.

Several people worked together, but they were unable to drag Zhao Chong up. Yang Feng finally understood why the guards had not rescued him yet.

He immediately sank into the water to check.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

There was clearly nothing under the water, but they just couldn't drag Zhao Chong.

So weird.

Could it be that... I'm haunted by a water ghost?

The people on the shore didn't know what was going on. Seeing that the people in the water were not moving, they all looked confused.

Xiao Jin narrowed his dark eyes, glanced at the people in the water, took out the amulet and safety mirror given by Xie Lan, and handed them to Xu Zhou and the two guards standing beside him.

"Take it, go down and drag Zhao Chong up."

The two guards looked at the things in their hands, a little confused.

But seeing that the situation was urgent, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately went into the water with the talisman paper and the safety mirror.

The two guards quickly swam to Zhao Chong's side and wanted to help pull him out.

The guards who went into the water first to rescue people looked at each other, and instead of letting go, they held Zhao Chong even tighter without making a sound.

Xu Zhou's two guards saw that Zhao Chong's shoulders, arms and shoulders were all grabbed, leaving no room for attack.

The two men didn't think much about it and sank to the bottom of the water, intending to lift Zhao Chong's legs and push him up.

Yang Feng didn't talk much, but he thought quickly and had guessed that Zhao Chong was entangled by something dirty.

Seeing Xu Zhou and the others trying to push Zhao Chong's legs, he was secretly happy.

Back away immediately and quickly float to the surface.

Seeing that he had no idea where to start, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Chong's hair without hesitation.

Xu Zhou's two guards grabbed Zhao Chong's legs and were about to push him up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as their hands touched Zhao Chong, a sinister and terrifying scream suddenly came to their ears.

The two of them paused and looked around vigilantly.

Before they could see clearly.

Yang Feng's guards remained expressionless. When they noticed that the force holding Zhao Chong loosened, they immediately pulled him towards the shore.

It was so fast that it was like there was a ghost chasing after it...
