Ye Zhen and Murong Ke came to the river. The boat was ready. Fortunately, it did not rain again today. Otherwise, it would be impossible to enter the mountain.
"Yao Yao, you'd better wait here. If the emperor is in the village, I will bring him back." Murong Ke whispered.
"This is the last hope, right?" Ye Zhen looked at Murong Ke and asked.
Murong Ke said, "Not necessarily, maybe General Ye has found him."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "I know, this is the last hope. I'm going to find him in person. Take me with you."
"Good." Murong Ke nodded gently and motioned Hong Ying to help Ye Zhen board the boat.
It was not far from the village Lin Zhiran mentioned, but it was a bit difficult to walk through the mountain stream. Although Lin Zhiran had been here several times, she still needed to be careful to find the way. When the boat entered the mountain stream, everything around it became dark. There were mountains and forests on the left and right, and towering trees blocked the sun. If it were not for Lin Zhiran leading the way, they would not have been able to get in.
"It's so hidden, no wonder we can't find the way." Murong Ke whispered.
The closer they got to the fishing village, Ye Zhen felt inexplicable panic in her heart. She couldn't tell why.
"Niang, there is a big lake ahead. There is a fishing village called Hua Family Village. All the fishermen in it are surnamed Hua." Lin Zhiran said.
They didn't know how long they walked, but when it was almost noon, they finally got out of the mountain stream. The lake in front of them surprised them. What a beautiful place! The lake was like a mirror, surrounded by mountains and forests. Not far away, there were orderly layers of houses. Fishing nets were still drying on the beach by the lake. This place was like a paradise.
"Who are you?" There were two or three women on the shore who were drying fishing nets. When they saw Ye Zhen and the others, they looked nervous. One of the older women mustered up the courage to stand up and ask.
"Aunt Xiu, I'm Xiao Ran. Have you forgotten me?" Lin Zhiran waved vigorously and called out to the woman with a smile.
The woman named Aunt Xiu looked at Lin Zhiran carefully and remembered that she was the little girl who came to Hua Family Village two years ago. She immediately laughed. "Xiao Ran, you … what are you doing in Hua Family Village?"
"Xiu Gu, our master accidentally fell into the river. I wonder if you have seen a man on the shore?" Lin Zhiran looked back at Ye Zhen and asked.
"Oh, so you know them …" Xiu Gu said, "Two people were washed here by the river the night before yesterday. One was taken away and the other is at Ning's house."
Lin Zhiran looked at Ye Zhen in surprise, "Niang niang, it's really here."
Murong Ke's expression was somewhat heavy. He didn't forget that Xiu Gu had said that two people had been rushed here, and one of them had already been taken away.
"What if … the person being rescued here is Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen asked him in a low voice.
"The person who was taken away should be Lu Lingzhi." Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Let's go take a look first."
Lin Zhiran said to Xiu Gu, "Xiu Gu, can you take us there?"
"Come up first. Ning girl's house is just ahead. It's not very far," Aunt Xiu said.
…
…
When Mo Rongzhan was grabbed by Lu Lingzhi's hand and fell off the cliff together, he quickly pulled out the sword in his hand from Lu Lingzhi's body. In order to slow down the speed of the fall, he wanted to stab the sword into the rock.
"Since it's a gamble, let's be fair." Lu Lingzhi realized what he was doing. He showed a crazy smile and kicked the rock with all his strength, falling into the river with Mo Rongzhan.
Lu Lingzhi was quickly swept away by the waves. When Mo Rongzhan fell off the cliff, his forehead hit the rock. His eyes were a little black. He didn't know where a broken piece of wood came from. He hugged it and soon lost consciousness.
In the darkness, Mo Rongzhan looked around. He wanted to see everything in front of him, but he couldn't see anything.
He only heard a woman's voice calling him.
"Ah Zhan …"
"Where are you?"
Who is it? Who is calling his name?
The voice was so familiar. He tried hard to remember, and the voice in his mind increased.
"Yao Yao, I won't hurt you again."
"I'm sorry, Yao Yao …"
"Yao Yao …"
Yao Yao … Who is his Yao Yao? Mo Rongzhan's consciousness blurred. Before he could remember who was calling him, he fell back into the darkness.
Hua Village, lakeside.
"Granny Hua, is he going to wake up soon?" A 15 or 16 year old girl stood beside the bed. Her clear eyes looked at the unconscious man. She tilted her head and asked Granny Hua who was brewing medicine.
Granny Hua had a head full of white hair. She frowned and looked at the man. "Looks like he's going to die soon. With such heavy injuries, and drifting in the river for so long, this is all I can do."
"I wonder who he is. His clothes look very luxurious." The little girl asked curiously.
"Who cares who he is. When he breathes his last, get someone to carry him away." Granny Hua frowned and said. "Don't keep randomly saving people by the lakeside. What if he's a bad person? Your mother saved a bad person but was killed. Don't tell me you want to learn from your mother? "
"Didn't my mother die of illness?" The little girl asked curiously.
This little girl was called Zhao Ning. She was a fisherwoman from Hua Village. She grew up here and had never been to other places. This man was saved by her.
Granny Hua paused for a moment. "She fell sick because of someone."
"I won't be like my mother." Zhao Ning said in a low voice. "My mother fell sick because of my father. According to granny, my father is a bad person."
"Where did your father come from? Don't mention this person again. " Granny Hua said with a cold face. She placed a bowl of medicine on the table. "Feed him this. If he doesn't wake up by tonight, he's probably dead."
Zhao Ning whispered. "If I don't have a father, how can my surname be Zhao?" Sensing Granny Hua's stare, she immediately nodded. "If he breathes his last, I'll definitely get someone to bury him."
Granny Hua looked at the man. "I'm afraid this man fell down from the mountain. He lost so much blood. If he wants to live, he'll need a deity to appear."
"Granny … He's not dead yet." Zhao Ning said in a low voice.
"You still look like your mother in everything." Granny Hua said snappily. Even their looks were exactly the same. Hua Village was full of beauties. But no one was as beautiful as Zhao Ning and her mother. Especially that pair of eyes. They seemed to be able to speak. They were as clear as spring water. They also had a heart of crystal. Whenever she saw someone injured, she would soften her heart and bring them home. That year, Hua Xian Er shouldn't have brought that man home.
She didn't know how the man lying here was. If he really woke up and saw Zhao Ning's looks, it would be hard for him not to be tempted.
