[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

"Your Highness, it's not far ahead." Chen Shen pointed to the trickling river in the distance.

The group of them came here by boat, but there was no way, the problem of the Yellow River bursting its embankment has not been resolved yet, many places nearby have been flooded, and the bodies of chickens, ducks and geese floated on the river from time to time.

There is also a strong smell in the river water, which smells like the smell of rats rotting for many days, more like the smell of cesspit, so bad that people want to cut their noses off.

"Ouch—" Bai Yongxiu covered his nose with a handkerchief, and leaned against the edge of the boat, vomiting continuously.

The others were not much better, they all vomited so much that they almost spit out bile, their faces were as pale as ghosts.

Tuhenglu and Jia Huan were relatively young, and they could barely bear it, but their complexions were not good-looking, and the smell was really bad.

"Adults, why don't you rest in the cabin." Tu Henglu persuaded, the management of the Yellow River's embankment depends on these people, if they fall ill, it will take a long time to manage the Yellow River's embankment up.

"I, Xiaguan..." Bai Yongxiu was about to decline politely, but he couldn't help the nausea churning in his stomach, and leaned against the side of the boat and vomited again.

"Okay, I know that your lords are worried about the people, but this matter is not something that can be resolved in a short while, why not go to the cabin to rest for a while, and then come out when you get there." Tu Heng Lu lightly He patted Bai Yongxiu on the back, and persuaded him with nice words.

After some persuasion, these ministers entered the cabin to rest.

Jia Huan couldn't help smiling, he and Tu Henglu looked at each other, both of them were smiling.

Of course, on board, besides Chen Shen's people, there were also many guards brought by Tu Henglu from the capital.

Moreover, in order to prevent Chen Shen from going crazy, Tu Henglu also specially mobilized more people to accompany him. After all, Chen Shen can even do things like arson, and there is anything he can't do.

Chen Shen scanned his surroundings and frowned slightly.

Things got a little trickier.

Beijing.

Xujia Lane, inside a house.

Ma Daopo lit three sticks of incense in front of the statue, and a greedy look flashed in her obscure eyes. After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Ma Daopo murmured that she had already counted the time, and today is the time to do it. opportunity.

After chanting the incantation, Ma Daopo picked up a piece of yellow talisman paper, lit it with a candle, and discarded it on the plate placed on the god's table. The ashes floated on the water, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Ma Daopo raised her index finger and middle finger with one hand, grabbed the puppet wrapped in hair on the table with the other, threw the puppet into the water, and pressed it firmly. At the same time, she began to chant the spell again.

Seeing that he was about to reach the place, Chen Shen squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth secretly, and quickly made a gesture with his hand, canceling the plan!

He was not fully sure that he could kill Tuhenglu under such heavy guards, so he could only wait for the next opportunity.

Tuhenglu didn't seem to realize that his life was lucky to be saved at that moment just now.

He was talking to Jia Huan, their voices were neither high nor low, as if they were talking about the affairs of the capital.

A gust of wind blew over, and the sail shook.

The boat seemed to hit something, and everyone couldn't help shaking.

Jia Huan's feet slipped, and his hands were tightly gripping the side of the boat. For some reason, it seemed as if he had caught something slippery in his hands, and his body almost leaned forward, halfway out.

Tuhenglu subconsciously reached out to grab him.

boom.

The boat rocked again.

Everyone was shocked, but they heard the sound of falling into the water twice.

Chen Shen opened his mouth wide open, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then looked at his subordinates.

But seeing his subordinates also looked at a loss.

This, what's going on?

Chen Shen was both surprised and delighted. For him, it was undoubtedly the best thing that happened now. All this happened under the eyes of everyone. Everyone can prove that His Highness the Sixteenth and Mr. Jia accidentally fell into love. Water, accident, what a beautiful word!

This meant that even if they died, they would have nothing to do with Chen Shen.

"Hurry up and save people!" Chen Shen secretly rejoiced, with a frightened expression on his face, and shouted.

Everyone just woke up from a dream and jumped into the river one after another.

In the cabin, Bai Yongxiu and the others felt their hearts tremble when they heard the sound outside.

Bai Yongxiu didn't care about his tired body at this time, and quickly ran out of the cabin.

"What happened?" Bai Yongxiu grabbed Chen Shen's sleeve and asked worriedly.

Chen Shen looked at him, paused, and then said, "Both His Highness and Lord Jia fell into the water."

Bai Yongxiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his nostrils buzzed, as if he wanted to take a breath to support his body that almost fainted, "I fell into the water..."

Chen Shen nodded heavily.

Bai Yongxiu ran towards the side of the boat like crazy, if it wasn't for the guards blocking him, he might still want to jump into the river.

At this time, the river was gurgling, and there were no people in sight.

The moment Jia Huan fell into the river, the first thought in his mind was that Chen Shen was really brave, but in the next second, he vetoed this idea, because this matter, after careful consideration, was really pure accident.

However, when he was struggling in the water, he had no time or energy to think about it.

He could swim, and if he was alone, it wouldn't be a big problem if he got to the shore.

But Tuhenglu can't.

"Good, heavy!" Jia Huan dragged Tuhenglu, only to feel as if he was dragging an elephant to swim in the water, his face was bulging and flushed, not only was he suffocating, but it was also smelly.

The river was already stinky from a distance, and now in this river, it was even more stinky beyond anyone's imagination.

Jia Huan glanced at the Tuhenglu hanging tightly on his body. Tuhenglu was not as lucky as him when he fell. He just happened to hit a stone. At this time, his eyes were hazy and his face was pale. Huan dragged him, and I am afraid that he had already flowed away with the river.

The speed of this river is not slow, they were pushed out a long distance almost as soon as they fell into the river, and then a wave hit them, sending them even further away.

Jia Huan gritted his teeth and struggled hard.

However, the direction to the river was completely opposite to the direction of the river, and as a result of his struggle, his physical strength was rapidly draining.

Suddenly, a wave came from nowhere and knocked him unconscious.

The night was getting darker.

In the governor's yamen, the lights are brightly lit.

Everyone looked pale and nervous, and Bai Yongxiu paced back and forth in the room restlessly. His hasty pace clearly told everyone that he was uneasy in his heart at this moment, but at this moment, no one asked him to stop, because everyone The same tension and apprehension.

Although His Highness fell into the water, it had nothing to do with them, but they were the ministers who accompanied His Highness. If something like this happened, they would be implicated even if they had no responsibility. You must know that His Highness Sixteen is one of the most favored sons of the Holy One.

Bai Yongxiu wanted to slap himself a few times at this time, but it was just seasickness and nausea, and the patience passed. If he was there at that time, maybe this kind of thing would not have happened.

"Bang bang bang", there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Bai Yongxiu and the others immediately looked up.

Chen Shen straightened up from the chair, and asked the yamen servant sent out to search, "Have you found Your Highness?"

The yamen servant shook his head with a pale face, "I haven't found it yet."

Bai Yongxiu staggered, his face was frighteningly white, his lips trembled, he suddenly cheered up, and shouted: "Send the order, let those people take turns to search tonight, and be sure to find His Highness."

The yamen servant glanced at Chen Shen, saw him nodding, and responded crisply: "Yes!"

That night, almost everyone could not sleep well, and until the early morning of the next day, there was still no good news.

Qingshi Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the gurgling water brought the mountain the daily necessary water and nourished the people on the mountain. Of course, some people are willing to call them bandits.

In troubled times, as long as there are mountains, there must be bandits, and it is the same here.

On this day, a few young people on the mountain still went down to check the situation, and carried water up the mountain.

Today is destined to be a particularly lucky day, because they not only caught a few pheasants and rabbits from the traps, but also found two people at the foot of the mountain.

The two people who are either rich or noble at first glance, their silk clothes, jade pendants around their waists, and their faces are all telling these young men one thing - they have caught a big fat sheep!

Well, these two big fat sheep came to the door by themselves.

But this does not affect the joyful mood of these young men who think they have made meritorious service.

These young men quickly brought the two men to the cottage.

Everyone in the Qingshishan cottage knew this in less than a quarter of an hour.

Even Aunt Nine's grandson who was born less than a month ago in the kitchen was carried into the hall to watch the two big fat sheep.

"Boss, look, these two people have tender skin and tender flesh, and they look like rich kids. We can't do those things, so we might as well borrow them to make a fortune."

"Yes, Boss, there are not many wild animals on this mountain, and you may not be able to catch a few to fill your stomach all day, so why not take this opportunity to make a fortune."

……

Jia Huan was woken up by a voice that almost never stopped.

His eyelids trembled, and hearing such words just after waking up was too exciting for him.

There is no doubt that they just came out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again.

Jia Huan didn't open his eyes, but kept them closed, pretending to be dizzy.

He faintly felt that his hands and feet were tied, and it seemed that there was something behind him.

A finger moved gently in his palm.

Well, correct me, it's not a thing, it's a person, and, most likely, it's a heron.

Jia Huan heaved a sigh of relief. If it was Tuhenglu, then he could rest assured. Since Tuhenglu could move, it meant he was still alive, which was better than anything else.

No matter what the reason was, Jia Huan didn't want to see anything happen to Tuhenglu.

"Okay, don't make any noise, send these two people to the firewood room first, Ninth Aunt, please apply some medicine to this person and bandage him." A man with a hoarse voice said.

That person seemed to be the boss among these people. As soon as he heard this person's voice, everyone fell silent immediately, and no one dared to object.

Aunt Jiu responded.

Jia Huan and Tu Henglu felt that someone came forward to lift them up and headed in a certain direction.

After the Ninth Aunt applied some herbal medicine to Tuhenglu's wound, she closed the door and left.

The place that should be the firewood room has a damp smell. Jia Huan slowly opened his eyes after confirming that no one was around. He lowered his head and looked at his hands and feet. Sure enough, All tied up with rope.

"How are you?" Tuhenglu's voice behind him was very weak, if it weren't for the silence in the room at this time, Jia Huan could hardly hear him.

"I'm fine, how is Master Sixteen?" Jia Huan asked in a low voice.

Tuhenglu's condition is not very good. After running in the water for so long, he has already lost a lot of blood and is exhausted, but he still insisted and said, "It's okay, it's just a small wound."

Jia Huan was silent, and did not say the "lie" of Chuan Tuhenglu, but closed his mouth considerately, letting Tuhenglu rest.
