Blade of Wind

When I went to the construction site the next day, I was still just doing errands with Liu Shenghe.

Until it was lunch time, I went to the kitchen to bring back his lunch and set it up, bowed and saluted, and was about to leave to find Li Guang to eat cornbread when he stopped me.

I looked back at him: "What else do you want, sir?"

Sheng He washed his hands and said, "Stay and eat with me."

"Eh?" I was a little surprised, blinked blankly, didn't quite understand his intentions, so I coughed lightly and said, "Isn't this very good? It's already a favor for the adults to let me do these easy jobs It's..."

He slowly wiped his hands with a dry cloth, frowned slightly, and interrupted me, "I have something to ask you. Sit down."

...It's really strange, when can't I ask if I have something to ask?

Although I still don't quite understand it, but after he said that, I obediently sat down at the table and waited for him to speak.

But he sat beside him for a long time without making a sound, as if he hadn't figured out where to ask, he sighed after a long time, and asked directly: "Who are you?"

"Eh?" I was taken aback again, "My lord, this is..."

Sheng He raised a hand and interrupted me again, then raised his eyes to look at me, "You are not an ordinary person, are you?"

I laughed, "My lord, are you joking? I'm not an ordinary person, can I still be a fairy?"

"There is no need to go around in circles. There is no one else here. Who are you and what do you want to do here? Just tell me." Sheng He said this, although his tone was not strict, but there seemed to be something in his eyes. This kind of power makes people have nothing to hide.

I couldn't think of any good excuse for a while, so I just shut up.

Sheng He continued: "The workers recruited on this construction site are all from nearby villages. I have checked the household registration, and there is no one named 'Luo Yan'."

I grinned, it turned out that not only the impostor was exposed, but also the entire identity was exposed.

Sheng He looked at me with deeper eyes. "You are not from around here, nor are you the daughter of an ordinary family."

I was a little scared by him, so I forced a laugh, and asked stupidly: "Why do you have such doubts?"

"You don't seem like someone who does rough work. But the girls who are raised in the deep boudoir are not as flexible as you, and your hands..." Sheng He's eyes fell on my hands, "These cocoons are definitely not for housework or Grinded by farm work. You——are a martial artist."

He made a conclusion, so I didn't bother to deny it, so I grinned and said, "Your Excellency has good eyes. But so what? Haven't Your Excellency ever seen a woman practicing martial arts?"

"Although there are few women who practice martial arts, it's not that there are no girls." Sheng He shook his head and said, "But it's a bit intriguing for a girl who has practiced martial arts to deliberately come here to join the folks who practiced martial arts. You did it yesterday. Did you peek at the ledger? Who are you? What do you want to do?"

I didn't answer, but just smiled again and said, "Since your lord thinks I'm so suspicious, what do you plan to do with me?"

Sheng He frowned again, but before he could speak, he heard a loud noise outside, followed by exclamations from everyone.

"A landslide!"

"Someone fell into the water!"

"Someone is coming soon."

Sheng He's face changed, and he didn't care about interrogating me again, he pushed the stool and got up and ran out.

Naturally, I quickly followed and ran out.

The landslide was a small section of the embankment that had just been repaired today. The scope was not large, and it was not serious. When we ran over, the situation was basically under control.

Because it happened to be eating time, there were not many people on the embankment, only a few people were slightly injured, and three or four people fell into the water.Although it is no longer the flood season, the current in the river is still very fast. When we arrived at the landslide site, there were no people on the river.I don't know whether it sank to the bottom or was washed away by the river.

A lower-level official came to report the loss and the aftermath, saying that people had been arranged to rescue those who fell into the water, and a boat was also sent downstream to search and rescue along the river.

Sheng He nodded, and after confirming a few details, he took the two of them into a boat.

I followed suit and jumped on it. He looked back at me, didn't say much, and only told the boatman to start the boat and sail downstream.

Not long after, I saw the boat ahead.

Sheng He asked the boatman to lean over, and stood at the bow of the boat and shouted loudly, asking about the situation.

They have rescued two and are searching for a third.

Sheng He immediately asked our boat to join the search team, and asked everyone to keep their eyes open and pay attention to the river.The two boats searched downstream along the river, one on the left and the other on the right.

After about ten minutes, the people on the boat over there called out first, and waved us to come over.I turned my head, and sure enough I saw someone struggling up and down on the river over there.

The boat over there is relatively close, and someone has already entered the water.

After our boat sailed past, Sheng He also jumped into the water to save people.

After the man was rescued, he spat out two mouthfuls of water, and before he could speak, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the center of the river in front of him.

I followed his hand to look over, and my heart couldn't help but sink.

For some unknown reason, the river was turbulent, and a huge whirlpool was formed in the middle of the river. In the muddy river, there was a hand stretched out on the water, and the river was rushing towards the whirlpool.

Sheng He's face also became quite ugly, and he turned his head and urged the boatman to drive the boat over.

The boatman looked distressed: "My lord, it's too late. That kind of vortex, our kind of boat will sink if it passes by."

Sheng He frowned, and simply walked to the side of the boat and was about to jump down.

"grown ups!"

The boatman screamed and ran over to drag him, and I quickly reached out and grabbed his arm to pull him back, shouting: "You don't want to die?"

The waves on the river rolled, and Sheng He roared amidst the sound of the water: "I can't just ignore death."

"It's up to you to save it!" I yelled back unceremoniously, throwing him to the boatman who ran over, jumped off the boat and plunged into the water, struggling to swim to the man who fell into the water.

This kind of vortex is sure to kill most people if they get involved in it, but I can probably give it a try.

I pushed the strength of my whole body to the extreme, like an arrow leaving the string, I rushed towards the man who fell into the water, barely grabbed his hand before he was sucked into the whirlpool, and pulled him to the surface to take a breath.But this breath has not finished, my whole body has been dragged down by a huge force.

--Oops!

Surrounded by the howling water, I couldn't help being swirled by the current, and quickly hugged the person who fell into the water with one hand, trying to turn the direction and swim back while kicking on the water hard.

It seems that I can vaguely hear the people on the boat over there shouting loudly, but I can't hear anything clearly amidst the sound of the water. I can only grit my teeth and try my best to wrestle with the whirlpool.

Although it will not be involved for a while, it is not so easy to get out, and it is stalemate for a while.

I was a little anxious in my heart, my strength must be using a little bit less, which is incomparable with the power of nature, not to mention that I have a person with me.If there is no other help, it is only a matter of time before being dragged into the whirlpool.

I had no idea how long I could last.

Also, I have no idea how long this person in my arms will last.He didn't seem to have moved since I grabbed him, and I didn't have time to determine whether he was alive or dead in this state.

Just like what Sheng He said at the time, I couldn't do anything about it, I just jumped off before I could think about anything.Only then did I start to get scared.

If he's dead, what's the point of me jumping down here?

Wouldn't it be even more meaningless if I took another life for this kind of thing?

So, while trying to swim back, I grabbed the people around me and prayed secretly, no matter what, you must live for me!

Just when I started to feel tired, I suddenly felt the neckline tighten, and the pressure on my body suddenly relaxed.

——My whole being was lifted into the air.

Of course, there will be no second person who can do this kind of thing.

I couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, raised my head, and smiled, "Ah, Qinglong, you came just in time."

The god general with light blue long hair looked ashen, pursed his lips and threw me on the boat of Shenghe, and disappeared without saying a word.

It was really thrown from mid-air, and I only had time to change a position in the air to protect the rescued person in my arms, and then fell heavily on the deck, gritting my teeth in pain.

Sheng He and two boatmen immediately came up to me and asked me how I was and if I was okay.

I reached out and rubbed my back that hurt from the fall, and shook my head, "I'm fine, let's take a look at this person first."

Needless to say, someone had already taken the person in my hand to rescue him, and only then did I realize that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old child.I couldn't help being startled, how could there be children here?It's not on the construction site, is it?Could it be washed down from upstream?

Before I could ask these questions, Sheng He frowned and asked, "You...what's going on? That was...what?"

I looked back at him, and didn't know where to start to explain for a while, so I simply waved my hand and said, "Have everyone been rescued? Then let's go ashore first."

Although Sheng He still looked puzzled, he didn't insist on asking here, and ordered the boatmen to dock.

There was an accident here, and Sheng He went down to the river to rescue people himself, and other officials on the construction site were naturally alarmed.

A circle of people surrounded the shore, including those who came out of the palace.

After Sheng He landed on the bank, he walked towards those people first, no matter how reluctant he was, he was the actual person in charge here, and he should always explain to the higher-ups when something happened.

But before he could speak, the leading official over there changed his expression, pushed him aside, rushed to me, knelt down and worshiped me.

"Lord!"
