At this moment, there was a sudden "splash" sound of someone falling into the water, coming from the embankment on the left side of the opposite bank of the bridge.
In the silent night, it seemed particularly loud.
Fan Zhiyi swallowed, closed his eyes, exhaled, and pretended not to hear.
At this time, in such a ghost place, how could someone fall into the river?
No, no, no, don't think too much, don't think too much. Maybe some animal fell into the water. People like to scare themselves at times like this, and they will be suspicious of the slightest movement. He shouldn't be so unlucky that he would run into a ghost that he had been hiding for several days without seeing.
Fan Zhiyi persuaded himself and quickened his pace to get down the bridge.
He had to hurry to Qian's house, complete the task quickly, and take off this ridiculous women's clothing.
But the splashing sound coming from the river was so urgent that it could not be ignored.
What if someone really fell into the river?
Fan Zhiyi took a few quick steps and then stopped. He gritted his teeth and finally gave up and ran towards the place where the sound came from as fast as he could.
There was no other way. He couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. What if it really happened... What if it really happened... How desperate would the person who fell into the water be if he never got rescued and had to watch his life slip away?
Beside the weeping willow tree, a figure could be vaguely seen. Without time to think, Fan Zhiyi shouted, "Don't look!"
But the figure remained indifferent and jumped into the lake without hesitation. Fan Zhiyi's outstretched hand did not even touch the other person's back, and the "plop" sound was heard again.
Fan Zhiyi had already reached the water's edge, and suddenly thought, since this person had just jumped in, what was the sound of him falling into the water just now?
He looked at the water surface, which was like a mirror, without any ripples. But gradually, the water began to boil and churn from the bottom, turning red, and a woman's face became faintly visible.
Fan Zhiyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to move backward, he saw a cold light reflected behind him in the water.
He immediately dodged to the side, fell to the ground and rolled a few times. When he looked back in horror, he saw someone standing behind him.
"Fan Zhiyi, go to hell, go to hell!"
He was kicked unexpectedly. The man used all his strength. Before Fan Zhiyi could feel the pain, his body fell into the water.
No, no, there is a ghost in the water, he will die!
It was a dark night, a lightless night. Fan Zhiyi vaguely felt that the person who wanted to kill him was familiar. It seemed to be Qin Shuan, but why was Qin Shuan here?
Fan Zhiyi had never expected that the person who fell into the water would be himself. Water poured into his body from all directions, making his body heavy.
Fan Zhiyi held his breath, clenched the talisman in his hand, and controlled his body to float, not allowing himself to think about where the female ghost in the lake was, or whether Qin Shuan was still waiting on the shore to kill him as soon as he came out of the water.
He only knew that if he stayed in the water any longer, he would die from lack of oxygen, and this time Bing Nandong, who was far away somewhere else, would not save him.
Perhaps it was because of his infinite potential for survival, all the scenes that had just happened appeared in Fan Zhiyi's mind, and each frame became extremely clear.
He remembered that there was a small embankment on the other side of the weeping willow tree, which was not easy to notice. He might be able to sneak ashore there and escape.
Fan Zhiyi deceived himself into thinking that his plan was perfect, and tried to survive. He swam to the shore, climbed onto the land using his hands and feet, gasping for breath.
Damn, when will he give up this damn empathy? Can't he be a little selfish and only care about himself? Damn it, damn it, what a pushover.
Fan Zhiyi quickly wiped off the water stains, and while cursing himself in his heart, he tried to see the surrounding environment clearly and see where the person who just wanted to kill him was.
But he couldn't see clearly, he could only feel his own strong heartbeat, and every beat made him tremble with fear, afraid of alarming something.
Where is Lu Changfu? Lu Changfu said that they were nearby. How come they didn't react to such a big noise? Could it be that Lu Changfu and Qin Shuan were in the same group? Qin Shuan showed up this time because he failed to kill him last time. He would really die.
Fan Zhiyi felt dizzy and his body was losing heat. He felt colder and colder, as if he was about to lose consciousness. He heard a voice in his head that didn't belong to him: "Kill him, kill him, kill him together!"
The shrill female voice filled with resentment occupied Fan Zhiyi's entire mind, making him feel that his body was out of control and did not belong to him.
He was shivering with cold and staggering, and wanted to draw his dagger but had no strength.
In order to make it easier to escape, Fan Zhiyi casually took off the women's robe that was in the way and dragged on the ground.
The voice in my head kept chattering: "He deserves to die, he deserves to die! How can people like him live? Why should I die!"
In a daze, Fan Zhiyi seemed to see a girl in a light red dress. The people around her couldn't see her face clearly, but the whispers, the open pointing and the secret cursing made him feel the same and wronged.
So the girl ran away crying, covering her face with her hands, and the fluttering corners of her clothes looked like a butterfly with broken wings.
Fan Zhiyi seems to be her, yes, he is her, her name is Yue Tang.
The girl ran across the street, crossed the stone bridge, ran across the lake, ran to Qian's house, and knocked on the door angrily and hurriedly.
The one who opened the door was Qian Hu, with a nonchalant and playful expression: "Hey, Miss Yue, how dare you go out and come here?"
"Qian Hu, why did you do this to me? Why did you say that?"
"What, what did I say?"
"You..." The girl's voice was thick with tears, and she was on the verge of collapse. "From childhood to adulthood, why did you always treat me like this? Why did you say that I and, and... Why did you say that you saw me and Master Wu and many others enter the inn room together and didn't come out in disheveled clothes until the next day? Why did you say that I was not serious and that I..."
"They say you're too unromantic and worse than those girls in brothels, right?" Qian Hu said this with a smile. In his eyes, these words were just ordinary words. "I heard this from others. Everyone is saying, why is Miss Yue angry? Besides, if Miss Yue is upright, she wouldn't be afraid of these things. It takes two to tango. How dare Miss Yue say she really didn't do these things?"
"I didn't! I didn't! Master Wu never did either! Qian Hu, you are despicable and shameless, how can you say that? Master Wu, he had to move out of here, and I was kicked out of the house by my father. In the past, we had minor quarrels, but how can you say that..."
"Oh, Miss Yue, you're here to complain to me. Actually, Miss Yue is now a fallen woman. Qian sees that you are so pitiful, so it's not impossible for him to show mercy and marry Miss Yue."
