The cold lake water made Chen Guangrui so flustered that he even forgot to call for help.
Because he had drowned once when he was a child, the feeling of helplessness and fear made him very scared. A small ditch could take his life, let alone a big river or lake?
The boundless water made Chen Guangrui not know what to do.
He suddenly remembered the dream he had had. In the dream, a god-like figure wearing a mask once told him that Liu Hong would push him into the water and drown him.
Her wife was taken over by Liu Hong, and even her unborn child had to recognize the thief as his father.
When he thought of this, Chen Guangrui felt extremely grateful to the god with the mask on his face, and even admired him so much that he prostrated himself before him. All the words he said came true one by one.
This is really terrible.
He cannot die, he has to live, for his wife, for his unborn child, for his old mother, he must live, he must live!
Even though he was afraid of water, he still wanted to find a way to survive!
Hey, that’s strange, why doesn’t he sink in the water?
Didn't he even feel suffocated? There was even a force that seemed to lift him up, allowing his feet to tread water and his whole body not to sink. His head even floated above the water, and he could vaguely see his wife constantly shouting at the water.
There is also Liu Hong holding a knife and grinning in the moonlight.
"No, there are quite a lot of people on the boat this time. Why is there no one to check on the big commotion? Could it be that all these people are fast asleep?"
Chen Guangrui remembered the wine and fish that Liu Hong had sent him in the evening. Could this be the problem?
Chen Guangrui slowly approached the boat, feeling the joy of being able to swim in the water. He was actually quite good at swimming?
Even after he secretly climbed onto the wooden boat, Liu Hong was so proud of himself that he did not realize that Chen Guangrui was not dead. He thought that Chen Guangrui would definitely die in the rushing water.
"Don't cry, don't call for help, or I'll kill you and make you and your husband a pair of drowned ghosts!"
Liu Hong threatened Miss Yin. The gleaming knife and the still surface of the lake made Miss Yin feel so miserable that she wished she could jump down and go with her husband.
If they were going to die, they would die together. But just as she was about to jump, she felt her stomach move. This reminded her that she was pregnant with the official's child. If she jumped, the child would surely die.
My husband died so tragically. He was the only child in the Chen family. If I die too, the Chen family will lose everything.
If I survive, at least the Chen family will have one offspring, but it's so hard to survive!
Miss Yin was very sad, but she didn't dare to cry anymore. She was just wondering why the housekeeper and the guards didn't come and why she didn't hear any noise?
"Just be obedient. Your guards and housekeeper, haha, have all been dealt with. If you listen to me, I can still keep a few of them. If you don't, I will kill them all and throw their bodies into the lake..."
Liu Hong was very brave. He tied Miss Yin with a rope, touched her tearful face with his hand, turned around and prepared to kill the guards who had been knocked unconscious by him.
Only by killing them can we eliminate future troubles.
He brought Miss Yin with him when he took office. As long as he could control Miss Yin, he would get a beautiful woman for free and become an official. No one would know about this.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong felt more and more excited. He walked into Butler Shen's room with a knife in his hand and stabbed the bedside fiercely, but he didn't expect the lights to come on suddenly.
When he turned around, he saw Chen Guangrui, who was covered in water. He was so shocked that the knife in his hand loosened and he shouted.
"Ghost, you are a water ghost, ghost!"
Liu Hong personally pushed Chen Guangrui into the lake. The current in this section was very fast. Even a good swimmer would have difficulty escaping death after falling into the water, let alone Chen Guangrui who could not lift anything with his hands or shoulders.
So what he saw at this moment was a ghost, a water ghost!
Liu Hong, who was already scared out of his wits, kicked the ambushing Butler Shen to the ground. After Chen Guangrui got on board, he used cold water to wake Butler Shen up, and also rescued the other two guards who were knocked unconscious.
These people stopped Liu Hong together, and they also found Miss Yin tied up by Liu Hong in the cabin.
Miss Yin, with red and swollen eyes, shouted when she saw Chen Guangrui, who was soaked in water.
"My husband, I will die with you!"
The man was so excited that he fainted.
By the time Chen Guangrui finished dealing with matters on the boat and saw Miss Yin again, it was already daybreak.
Steward Shen on the other side took Chen Guangrui's name card and went ashore to report to the authorities. This case alarmed many people at once. After careful interrogation by the authorities, they discovered that Liu Hong was a habitual offender.
He had killed people and dumped their bodies in the lake more than once. If Chen Guangrui had not been a good swimmer and had not escaped with his life this time and saved everyone, no one on the boat would have escaped.
It is estimated that they were all killed by Liu Hong while they were unconscious and their bodies were thrown into the river.
Such a major case also involved officials of the current dynasty and attracted much attention. Liu Hong was sentenced to immediate execution. Chen Guangrui wrote a letter back to report to his father-in-law, and although Miss Yin was frightened.
Fortunately, the fetus was fine, and the group took a government ship to take up their posts under the arrangement of the government.
When he arrived at the place where he took office, the first thing Chen Guangrui did was to quickly set up a tablet for the Tiandi Pawnshop, and then offer sacrifices to it every day. That was not all, he also proposed that the baby in his wife's belly be born.
At most you can keep them by your side for a few years, and then send them to a designated temple to become monks.
Miss Yin was originally unwilling to agree, but Chen Guangrui told her that the last time she survived in the lake, she was enlightened by the Bodhisattva of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth, who said that her son had a connection with Buddha and must become a monk.
Not only that, he also told his wife that after the child was born, she should bring him to burn incense at the tablet every day. In the future, whenever she met people from the Pawnshop, she should agree to any requests they made, as a way of repaying them for saving their family's lives.
Miss Yin has always believed that her husband is her heaven.
Now that Chen Guangrui had escaped death and was brought up with the Bodhisattva, she naturally did what he said and did everything according to her husband's request. However, she was a little worried. What if she gave birth to a girl, how would she become a monk?
Seeing that Chen Guangrui had escaped death, seeing his careful instructions to his wife, and seeing the tablet being worshipped, Zhang Fan nodded secretly.
Chen Guangrui still has a conscience, so it was worth it for me to help him.
After this thought flashed through Zhang Fan's mind, he suddenly found that there seemed to be changes on his face. The mask he had been wearing disappeared, and a mist began to surround his body, making him look very strange!
