All night

The crescent moon was like eyebrows, and the light from wind lanterns and pine oil torches washed away the cold moonlight. Lu Qingchi and Lu Changying stood by the riverside, watching people slowly sink the huge pine cabinet in poor condition into the river.This specially diverted river is not deep, but it is enough to submerge the cabinet to the top.

Lu Qingchi nodded his chin, and said calmly: "The Black Ice Snake is a half-dead thing, you and I can't perceive whether he is inside or not, but he is seriously injured, and it is difficult for a human form to stay underwater for long. It will take the shape of a snake."

Lu Changying said without changing his expression, "I think he's gone."

Lu Qing asked, "What are you betting on?" Although he still had a smile on his face, his words were somewhat cold after all.

The wooden cabinet submerged in the river quietly bubbled up a few times, and then there was no sound.

Lu Changying raised her hand and touched Bai Jiying perched on his shoulder, and said, "You can bet on anything?" He turned to look at Lu Qingchi, smiling meaningfully, "I remember when we first met, you had a A white epiphyllum."

Lu Qingchi didn't expect him to mention this, a face that was already amazingly beautiful suddenly became more eye-catching like snow and dawn, and smiled: "You still remember."

Lu Changying said: "I remember that epiphyllum is called 'Jade Bowl of Broken Snow'. At that time, you said that since it was the first time we met, you just took this thing as a meeting gift."

Lu Qingchi smiled and said: "You still have the face to say it. After I said it, you turned around and ran out, and then came in again, telling me that this is the second time we met, and there is no need to send a gift. I was stunned for a while. After a while, the epiphyllum will wither, and I can't even give it away." The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he became, and scolded, "How can there be such a shameless person like you in the world?"

Lu Changying said: "Flowers and plants, what do you mean? Since I was willing to see you that day, I naturally didn't covet these things."

Lu Qingchi said with a smile: "What about now, do you want it?"

Bai Feng'er let out a cry, and Lu Changying said, "Just take it. You're probably going to lose too."

It has been a while since the cabinet went down, even if the snake demon is very powerful and can bear it, it will not be able to last for so long.Bai Feng'er kept staring at the water surface with wide alert eagle eyes, but did not notice any green snake coming out of the water.Sure enough, the snake demon was gone.

Lu Qingchi didn't feel depressed when he lost, he just regretted deliberately: "Oh, I forgot that there was another person inside, I don't know who it is, I'm afraid he died for no reason."

Lu Changying stretched out her finger, let Bai Feng'er peck and play, and said: "Since that man was locked up with the snake gall, he must know the secret of our living body harvesting gall. If he knows too much, he won't be wronged if he dies." He paused for a while , asked, "Do you still want to fish up that cabinet to find snake gall?"

Lu Qingchi stared at him quietly, and after a long time seemed a little disappointed, but also a little excited and said: "No need, anyway, the green snake bile we got before is enough, and there are still dead bodies in the cabinet, it's ugly Hurry up, I don't want to look at it." His brows stretched, revealing a hint of joy, and continued: "Forget it, it's over here, since you miss the jade bowl of broken snow so much, I will go with you to the greenhouse. Jade bowl Suixue is different from other epiphyllums, it blooms in the early morning, wouldn't it be a good thing for us to have a drink and wait for it to bloom?"

Lu Changying smiled and said, "Of course it won't be a problem when it opens, but you have to remember to give me one. Don't think that having a drink and pretending to look at it for a while is a good deal."

Lu Qing took a white look at him, and said: "Give it away, what is this little thing worth, so nervous."

With the young master's words, the flower room was naturally arranged very quickly.

When it was close to Mao, the swollen white buds of the jade bowl of broken snow made a slight cracking sound, and a crack opened.

Lu Qingchi accidentally threw the wine glass, and the crystal shattered, but he didn't care, and said, "Changying."

Lu Changying responded.

Lu Qing looked at him jokingly: "I'm curious, you are really not in a hurry."

Lu Changying smiled and said, "Is there anything you want me to do urgently?"

Lu Qingchi stared at him quietly for a long time, then smiled: "It's nothing, maybe I made a mistake."

Lu Changying watched the jade bowl of broken snow slowly unfold the white and tender petals, and sighed: "The old man has a big birthday recently, and you have to preside over it inside and out. There are too many things, and it is reasonable to make mistakes."

Lu Qingchi smiled and said, "I hope I made a mistake, otherwise you will be the only one who regrets it."

Lu Changying took a sip of wine, looked at her hands, and said, "I can't think of anything that will make me regret it."

Lu Qing looked at him with a smile, feeling bored seeing himself all the time, Fang said: "...Forget it, it seems that I will lose another bet with myself, not just one flower, but this jade bowl of broken snow , it's all yours."

When the wine reaches the intoxicating place, the broken snow in the jade bowl has already opened.Lu Qing was a little sleepy, and was served by the maid to wash and change clothes. Lu Changying simply told her which clothes to wear today, and where to go to do business immediately after taking a nap. Lu Qingchi left the greenhouse until the two of them were no longer seen. Lu Changying got out of the sheath with the snow in her arms, and her fingers, which were usually extremely stable, trembled slightly.

Nearly three hours have passed since the cabinet entered the water.

When the cabinet entered the water, he had already wrapped it with sandstone soil so that it would not be permeable, but the air in the cabinet was only enough for one person to breathe for less than an hour.

The riverside was extremely quiet, so quiet that he could hear his sudden rapid breathing.In the inn where the sound-isolation method has been applied, no one will hear any noise outside their room, and they must still be asleep now.The crescent moon has gradually faded, and the east has a white belly. With trembling fingers, Lu Changying pushed away the sand and gravel covering the cabinet, and put her hand on the cabinet doorknob with a heart that had never been afraid of anyone. Suddenly it jumped violently, almost jumping out of his chest, which made him panic and dare not open the already damaged wooden door.

He didn't even dare to admit it, he was afraid that after opening it, he would see Xin Wan's body.

He could feel that the person in the cabinet had no spiritual power and was just a mortal, so naturally Lu Qingchi could feel it too.Qingchi had no other basis, he could only use this method to test him, but he didn't need to test him, because he had a strange feeling, which made him have no doubt from the bottom of his heart that there was that person inside through a wooden board.

Knowing that there was no longer any delay, he pressed his chest, gritted his teeth, and opened the cabinet door.

Immediately, all the water from the outside poured into the cabinet. Xin Wan leaned against the wall of the wooden cabinet in a strange posture, her right hand was bleeding, and she was holding something up. Standing there forcibly without the shackles of the plank.

Lu Changying didn't care about other things, and carried him out of the wooden cabinet, floated to the surface of the water, and patted his face lightly.

Xin Wan coughed, opened her confused eyes and glanced at him, seemed to be smiling, and kept that strange movement, her almost rigid right hand finally released slowly, and a bamboo tube fell down.

Lu Changying was quick-witted and knew the key at a glance. After the air in the wooden cabinet was exhausted, Xin Wan forcefully pierced the bottom of the bamboo tube with her hands, sticking it out of the water for breathing.The top of the wooden cabinet was not far from the water surface, and this method could have lasted for a long time, but just now, this small river diverted from the clear sea, along with the sea water, had high tide.

Indeed, he had only to be a moment late to be too late.

Lu Changying couldn't help being startled, but he still couldn't help laughing when he opened his mouth: "You are so lucky, today is the new moon... Biqinghai is the day when the tide is at its lowest every month when it is high tide. If you survive a catastrophe, there will be a future. "

Xin Wan also smiled weakly at him, her dark pupils were already dilated and unable to focus, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but couldn't come out.For nearly three hours, he was unable to speak due to the thin air and almost suffocating feeling, but he insisted not to faint, and just quietly and desperately fixed his eyes, hoping to see Lu Changying more.

Lu Changying smiled and said, "You really lasted long enough, and you never gave up even when the tide was high."

Xin Wan couldn't make a sound, looked at him with out-of-focus eyes, and said word by word: "I know, you will definitely come."

Lu Changying was slightly taken aback, and there was a severe pain in his head, which made his eyes blurred for a moment. She shook her head to gather herself, and coaxed with a smile, "Okay, I'm here, don't worry."

Xin Wancheng lifted his left hand, his fingers could not be loosened due to the long-term clenching, Lu Changying held it lightly, and gently opened his fingers, in the blue and white palm, An Jing A dark green snake gall lay quietly.

It was Xin Wan who stubbornly kept it after she knew what he had done. She was about to lose her life, but she still wanted to take what was given to him.

Seeing that he had taken the snake gall away, Xin Wan finally relaxed, and mouthed: "It's a pity that I lost five taels of silver for wine..." He let out a long breath, and finally passed out completely.
