Chen Yalan was very touched by Fu Liu's praise.
When they came out, they found that there were many people releasing river lanterns by the river.
"Hey, Sister Chen, they are all releasing river lanterns. Should we release one too?" Fu Liu turned around and asked Chen Yalan beside him.
Although it was just a question, it was obvious that she also wanted to release a river lantern, so Chen Yalan nodded and said, "Okay, you can make a wish when you release a river lantern. Then we must release it."
After making up their minds, the two men went to a small stall and bought two lotus lanterns.
Then the two of them came to the river again. Just as they were about to put the river lanterns down, they heard a scream nearby.
"Someone jumped into the water, help!"
What? After hearing this, Chen Yalan's gaze began to scan the river surface, and soon she found that there was a place in the river that was churning.
Without thinking too much, she immediately took off her coat and jumped into the river.
Fu Liu, who was standing by, was stunned by the scene. She held Chen Yalan's coat in her arms. The lotus lantern had fallen to the ground, but she didn't care. Her eyes were fixed on the person on the river.
Fortunately, Chen Yalan was a good swimmer, so she brought the man up soon.
At this time, both of them were soaked in clothes. Chen Yalan had put a lot of effort into saving them and was now breathing heavily.
Then I heard a wailing voice beside me: "Why did you save me? Let me die. I don't want to live anyway."
It turned out to be the person Chen Yalan rescued. The woman's clothes were wet and her hair was messy. Not only did she not thank Chen Yalan for saving her life, but she wanted to commit suicide again.
As she said this, she struggled to go to the river again, but this time the crowd had already surrounded the two of them in a circle in order to watch the fun, so the woman had no way to get close to the river.
Seeing that there was no hope for her to commit suicide, the woman began to cry.
Seeing this woman abandoning herself like this, Fu Liu's anger immediately rose. Chen Yalan had gone to great lengths to save someone, putting them between life and death, but not only was this woman ungrateful, she was even trying to jump into the river again.
Furious, she couldn't control her temper and started cursing, "We came out of good intentions to save you, but you're trying to kill yourself. Fine, if you want to die, go ahead. Don't worry, we won't save you this time."
After saying this, she put Chen Yalan's coat on Chen Yalan and was about to help Chen Yalan leave.
At this moment, the crowd outside cried out in surprise: "The soldiers are coming, everyone, make way."
It turned out that when people learned that someone had jumped into the river, they were quick to run to the yamen and tell the news. At this time, the officers and soldiers sent by the yamen arrived.
"What happened? Where is the person who jumped into the river, and where is the person who saved him?" As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they asked loudly.
Ordinary people were in awe of the officers and soldiers, so they immediately made way for them, and this team of officers and soldiers came to Chen Yalan and the diving woman without any hindrance.
After seeing the person involved, the officers and soldiers asked the same question again.
"I am the one who saved the person. However, the person I saved is still thinking about committing suicide. Since I have rescued her now, I can't do anything about what happens next. I will take my leave first." Chen Yalan was also a little annoyed by the man's attitude, so when she saw the officers and soldiers coming, she acted like a hands-off boss and wanted to leave directly.
Now that they knew who the rescuer was, the officers and soldiers naturally treated her very well: "I see, you did a good deed, now it's time to go back and freshen up."
So Fu Liu supported Chen Yalan and was about to leave, but when they passed by one of the soldiers, the man looked at Chen Yalan twice.
"General Chen!" The soldier thought the man in front of him looked very kind, but after looking carefully he realized that this was General Chen who pacified Tubo, so he exclaimed.
It would have been fine if he hadn't shouted, because as soon as he did, the people around him immediately became excited.
"Is this General Chen the same General Chen who flattened Tubo?"
"I heard that General Chen is a powerful woman. Is she the one in front of me?"
"Is it really General Chen? We are so lucky today to be able to see General Chen's true appearance with our own eyes."
For a moment, the crowd was talking about it, and they all looked at Chen Yalan with some admiration. You know, for these people, those who can do things for them are naturally the objects of their admiration.
Although Chen Yalan was a woman, she led troops to fight, pacified Tubo, and defended the country and made great contributions, so the people naturally admired Chen Yalan to some extent.
They didn't expect that they were just out for fun today, but they were so lucky to meet General Chen, who was at the peak of his career.
So everyone was very happy.
The officers and soldiers did not expect that they would meet the famous General Chen when they just came out to manage some things.
The leading officer immediately ran over and checked with the officer who had mentioned General Chen. After confirming that he had not mistaken the person, he immediately gave Chen Yalan a flattering smile: "General Chen, I have long heard of your name. Today's incident is thanks to you. If you had not rescued this woman, I am afraid we would have a corpse in front of us right now. Yes, General Chen, this matter may require your cooperation. Why don't you stay with me at the government office for a few days?"
Look, when he first knew that Chen Yalan was the woman's savior, he just greeted Chen Yalan. Now that he knows that Chen Yalan is General Chen, that expression and that flattering look are really disgusting.
However, Chen Yalan also knew that now that his identity was exposed, he naturally had no way to return to the previous inn.
After all, she didn't want to be surrounded by people wherever she went, so she nodded to the leading officer and said, "It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about. But since you need me in this matter, I will naturally help you to the end. Wait for the two of us to pack up, and then we will follow you to the government office."
So, after Chen Yalan and her friend returned to the inn and changed their clothes, they packed up their belongings and went downstairs. At this time, the officers and soldiers were waiting downstairs. When they saw Chen Yalan coming down, they immediately went to greet her.
Chen Yalan did not hesitate and followed them to the government office.
Also following them was the woman who had found the dagger.
Chen Yalan was a little curious about the woman's desire to die.
So after they settled down in the government office, they had the woman brought back home.
"What's your name? Why are you so determined to commit suicide?" Chen Yalan asked directly after seeing the woman.
