Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 78 Killing!

Lu Xinyan was startled, and quickly ran to the water pavilion, but Xiao He was nowhere to be seen.

She leaned over the railing and saw two frightened little hands shaking desperately in the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The flash of familiar pink made Lu Xinyi climb up the railing and jump into the water without hesitation.

Xiaohe can't swim!

Before jumping off, she shouted, "Qingtong, grab that maidservant in purple! I'll save her!"

If she read correctly, it was clearly a maid in purple who picked up Xiao He and threw her into the water.

"Hurry up, someone! Someone fell into the water again!"

"It's not falling into the water, it's jumping, it should be to save people!"

"Is the person who dived into the water the wife of the prince of the Marquis of Guangping?"

"I don't see it too clearly, but it seems to be from the clothes."

"Yes, Miss!" Qing Tong, who also saw this scene, quickly grabbed a suspicious purple-clothed maid, and knocked her unconscious with a palm, triggering another round of screams.

Qingtong also can't swim.

"Ah! Murder!"

The ladies who were admiring the scenery in the waterside pavilion quickly ran away.

These screams attracted the servants from the nearby Hou Mansion.

"Ladies, what happened?"

"A maid fell into the water, her master..."

"What should I do?" The mother-in-law who asked the question was panicked and didn't finish listening. "This lake is three meters deep, and it would be terrible to fall in. What should I do?"

"In order to prevent people from falling, the railing is specially raised to 1.5 meters high. How could it fall?" Another nun wondered, "Isn't it because someone couldn't think about it and jumped on purpose?"

"Don't worry about it so much, go and ask the old lady and madam, and send a few young men who know water." The woman in front said anxiously.

"You're right. If something goes wrong, we can't please the Hou Mansion." Although the nanny behind said this, she thought in her heart that the lake was so deep that few servants in the mansion dared to enter the water. It is not allowed to go into the water, they are all tied around the waist with a rope, and the two people on the shore pull the rope, and if something goes wrong, they immediately pull the person up.

But in the rush right now, when everything is ready, I'm afraid people will be completely chilled.

Thank goodness, just a maid.

The two didn't finish their conversation, so they didn't know that Lu Xinyan had already jumped down to save someone.

This is the time of autumn tigers. The weather is hot, and the surface of the lake is extremely hot due to the sunlight, but the deep place where the sun does not shine is extremely cold.

Lu Xinyan paddled vigorously through the water like a fish.

The lake water kept pouring into the ears, the eardrums were swollen and painful, and the wide-open eyes were painful in the water, but the pink figure could not be seen within the range of the line of sight.

The air in the lungs is continuously reduced, and because of the scarcity of air, it is as uncomfortable as fire.

She didn't dare to come up to take a breath, the best rescue time was only 3 minutes, maybe in that moment, she could find that silly girl who told her not long ago that she wanted to stay with her for the rest of her life.

The temperature of the water around the eyes suddenly became higher, and Lu Xinyan's eyes became more swollen and uncomfortable.

The air was finally exhausted, and if she didn't take another breath, she would be in danger.

Lu Xinyan floated into the water, took a quick deep breath, and dived into the water again.

At this time, there was a sharp pain like a spasm in the right foot.

I got cramps.

It is a miracle to enter the water too quickly, without warming up, and swim too hard without cramps.

The body kept sinking, Lu Xinyan massaged her right foot in the water, trying to relieve it, but it didn't help.

When the air in her lungs became less and less, she closed her eyes and gave up struggling, allowing her body to relax, sinking slowly, and then floating upwards.

that silly girl~
Warm liquid slipped from the corner of the eye...

"Why is there no movement from Mrs. Gong Shao? Could it be that something happened?" A bold young lady couldn't help asking after hiding by the railing to watch.

"The water is so deep..."

"This Young Madam Gong is also stupid. It's just a lowly maid who fell into the water. Why do you want to jump down to save others? This is all right, even my own life is on the line."

Hearing these gossips, Qingtong, who was already anxious, couldn't help shouting for help: "Who can swim? Please help save people!"

Her voice was a bit shrill because of its high pitch, and the ladies not far away looked at her pitifully, "I heard that the lake is so deep that even the servants in the mansion who can swim dare not enter the water easily."

"You should be sad and obedient, I'm afraid your master..."

Qingtong knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowed three times, her forehead was already bleeding, "I beg you! I beg you!"

There was no mourning, no crying, just repeating that sentence.

The sound of the forehead hitting the ground was as heavy as a lightning strike, and it made people feel sour after hearing it.

A young lady couldn't bear it and said: "Don't knock it down, it will disfigure you if you keep knocking down."

"It's not that we don't want to help, but we are all young ladies, how can we swim?"

"It's a heartfelt maid, what a pity..."

After Qingtong kowtowed dozens of times, no one paid any attention except for the discussion.

She stood up in despair and walked to the railing.

"Hey, don't be too hard on yourself!" A lady noticed her intention and screamed trying to stop her.

Qingtong ignored it.

Usually, I always feel that Xiao He is too noisy and clingy, and she only treats Lu Xinyan because of her teacher's request, thinking that she will leave after the task is completed, and there is no real affection for her.

But at this critical moment of life and death, Qingtong realized that the little things she had spent with her over the past month had penetrated deep into her bones.

She climbed up the railing without hesitation, and when she was about to jump down, she suddenly felt severe pain in her knees, and she fell to the ground.

Then there was a clear voice, "Wait here carefully, don't make trouble for your lady."

thump.

It was the sound of entering water.

Someone went down to rescue Miss and Xiao He, Qingtong unknowingly burst into tears.

thump.

There was another sound of entering water.

"The one who got into the water earlier was Xiao Shizi, right?"

"Ah! The eldest prince also jumped down to save someone!"
