Seeing that the rescuers were nowhere to be found, Lu Xu thought it was bad and jumped in without thinking.

The surface of the river was calm but the water was turbulent inside, which might have something to do with the water ghost.

Seeing that the water ghost was holding the rescuer's feet, Lu Xu got angry and swam over there.

On the shore, a group of people were collectively panicking.

"What should we do? Will Brother Xu be okay?"

"Pfft, don't talk nonsense, Brother Xu will definitely be okay!"

"What should we do? Are there any rescuers?"

The trainees were generally young, and they were worried when they encountered such a thing for the first time.

The person in charge of the scenic area was the same, he was so worried that his head felt bigger.

"Hurry up, Old Xu, get out!"

The rescuers must not get into trouble, and Lu Xu must not get into trouble either.

No one dared to take this responsibility, and the person in charge even thought that Lu Xu was impulsive, and if anything really happened, it would only cause trouble for the rescue.

Xu Haoming was extremely anxious, fearing that something would really happen to Lu Xu.

Thinking that he was a good swimmer, Xu Haoming prepared to take off his shirt and rush in. But before he could move, someone grabbed his arm.

"Don't go!"

These words were said with great conviction, and the voice sounded familiar.

Xu Haoming turned around in surprise, and when he saw that the person who pulled him was Ji Xiunian, he felt a little surprised: "Brother Nian?"

In his opinion, Ji Xiunian's relationship with Lu Xu was better than theirs. Logically, Ji Xiunian should be more anxious than him.

But now, Ji Xiunian not only didn't think about saving Lu Xu, but also didn't want anyone else to go into the water. Xu Haoming was a little confused, and even wondered for a moment if they were just fake brothers.

"Believe me, Lu Xu will be fine."

Xu Haoming originally wanted to say that you are not underwater and you are not Lu Xu, so how can you be sure that nothing will happen. But when he looked up and met Ji Xiunian's eyes, he was stunned -

Ji Xiunian's tone of voice was very firm, and his eyes also revealed absolute trust.

He looked at himself, as if he was looking into his heart along his line of sight. At that moment, Xu Haoming suddenly believed his words a little, and began to feel that Lu Xu would be fine.

"Don't go into the water yet, Lu Xu will bring people up soon." Ji Xiunian stood by the river and stopped the trainees and scenic area staff who tried to go down to look for people.

No one wanted Lu Xu to get into trouble. Seeing that Ji Xiunian was so determined to oppose going into the water, some people inevitably wanted to ask him why he was so sure that Lu Xu was fine.

But when facing these questions, Ji Xiunian was not in a hurry to explain.

His aura was strong, and even if he just stood there, it was like a wall in the air, giving people a sense of oppression that they dared not oppose.

Just when the person in charge of the scenic area was struggling over whether to send someone down, the water surface suddenly became turbulent again.

Everyone looked over there and saw the rescuer's head above the water. It seemed that he had fainted, and no one knew what the specific situation was.

Soon, Lu Xu also stuck his head out and dragged the man to the shore: "It's okay, he will wake up after a rest."

Lu Xu said this lightly, and everyone felt a little confused when they heard it -

to see if this person is okay, don't they have to check his vital signs first?

In such a short time, Lu Xu should not have had time to observe the rescuers, how do you know that he is okay?

Everyone was full of doubts and wanted to ask Lu Xu, but they didn't expect that he not only did not go ashore, but went back to the river.

Xu Haoming wanted to call Lu Xu, but when he saw the person floating in the river, he suddenly understood what Lu Xu wanted to do: "Oh my God, Brother Xu, are you going to drag the body up?"

As if to prove his guess, Lu Xu really went to the body.

Under the river, the water ghost trembled as she watched Lu Xu, fearing that this man would beat her to death.

In fact, she had only been a ghost for a short time. Although she did not know Lu Xu, she inexplicably felt that this young man was very scary.

The water ghost's name was Li Zhenrong, and she was fifty years old this year.

She had suffered a lot in the first half of her life because she married the wrong person, and she thought that her husband was unreliable and she could just raise the children.

As a result, the children grew up, but life was not much better.

Two years ago, Li Zhenrong was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and the disease progressed faster than others. She had to take a lot of medicine every day and endure severe pain. Li Zhenrong just felt that she had lived enough in this life, and she happened to be sensitive and depressed during menopause, so she wanted to die.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to jump into the river, thinking that death would be the end of everything.

Originally, she thought that death would be the worst, but she didn't expect that there would be something more terrifying than death - that is, being trapped in the land of death and experiencing this feeling of despair all the time.

As her predecessor, the last water ghost even said sorry when he drowned her, but this did not stop him from dragging himself down.

Li Zhenrong never dreamed that she would become a water ghost after her death.

But no matter what, she didn't want to stay in such a ghost place for twenty years.

Seeing the rescuers coming down, Li Zhenrong dragged him without thinking.

Anyway, she had just learned how to be a qualified water ghost at the cost of her life not long ago, so she would not let go of the opportunity to get started so soon.

Everything was going well, but she never expected that Lu Xu would be killed in the middle.

When facing this young man, she not only lost all other thoughts, but also had a natural fear.

However, seeing that he was not cruel, Li Zhenrong could not help but ask him leisurely: "Sir, why can the one before me hurt me, but I can't hurt others? I have never done anything bad in my life, why is fate so cruel to me? It doesn't let me have a good life when I am alive, and it tortures me so much when I die..."

She was nagging there, and Lu Xu only heard the general idea.

When she was almost done, Lu Xu "replied" to him: "You have committed murder."

"Murder? I don't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I kill someone..." Li Zhenrong immediately defended himself, feeling that he was wronged and wronged.

Lu Xu rarely looked her in the eye and answered with a half-smile: "You killed yourself."

If murder is a crime, then suicide is also a crime to some extent.

Everything is destined, and Li Zhenrong naturally cannot find a substitute as he wishes here.

But after he leaves, whether the replacement time is short or long, it is all Li Zhenrong's own business.

"He came into the water for you. Even if he wants to hurt you, he can't be so cruel." Lu Xu didn't want to waste time with her here, so he just pulled her body out with one hand.

Li Zhenrong stared at Lu Xu's back in a daze, not knowing what to do or what to sigh for a moment.

No matter what the result is now, everything is her own choice.

No one can bear the consequences for her, Li Zhenrong can only hide in the water with complicated thoughts.

The people on the shore first checked the rescuers' vital signs, and found that they were indeed fine, so they were temporarily relieved.

When they came to their senses again, they saw Lu Xu dragging the body ashore, putting her in a body bag and thinking about finding a place to take a shower.

The people around were stunned when they saw Lu Xu. No one thought that Lu Xu not only saved the rescuers, but also dragged the body back.

When they came to their senses again, everyone unconsciously applauded Lu Xu.

He was wet all over and had just touched the body, so he didn't move much.

At this moment, Ji Xiunian suddenly took off his coat, walked up and put it on Lu Xu, with an intimate and natural attitude.

When passing by the person in charge of the scenic area, Lu Xu did not forget to whisper: "If you don't want anything to happen again, don't let anyone go into the river."

"Oh, okay." The scenic area has actually always banned people from going into the river, so who would have thought that there would be people who would take the initiative to jump into the river. It 's

just that Lu Xu said it, and he listened subconsciously.

I don't know why, Lu Xu looks young, but he gives people more pressure than the leaders above.

Just when he was thinking about it, his colleague suddenly said: "Oh my God, what is this?"

Looking along the colleague's line of sight, he saw a circle of bruises on the rescuer's ankle, which looked more like marks left by someone's hand.

What's even more creepy is that there are similar marks on the ankle of the female corpse, but they are a circle larger than those on the rescuer's ankle.

The marks on the female corpse's feet looked like a man's hand, while the rescuer's feet looked like they were held by a woman.

Everyone first looked at the marks on the rescuer's ankles, and then compared them with the female corpse's hands. Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine - this is really, very scary when you think about it.
