The young child struggled in the water, and his cries alarmed the people around him.
A young woman holding a bamboo pole, with an anxious look on her face, tried to hand it over in panic.
But the child not only failed to grab the object during his struggle, but was instead washed towards the center of the river by the current.
Many people exclaimed.
The woman almost jumped into the river, but was stopped by an old servant.
Li Bai and Meng Haoran stopped talking and looked out the window.
Seeing that the child was getting farther and farther away from the shore, a man who was moving goods at the dock suddenly took off his clothes and dived into the water.
Suddenly there were cheers from the crowd.
Meng Haoran also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The riverside is not short of heroes who are familiar with water. Now the kid can be saved."
Li Bai frowned slightly.
He clearly saw a ship sailing towards the shore not far away.
The ship was moving quite fast and its trajectory was curved.
He had extraordinary eyesight and could see that the ship was likely to collide with the two of them.
The three-story ship was nearly ten meters above the water, like a huge monster.
If a man is hit by it, no matter how good a swimmer he is, he will probably meet with an accident, and there is no chance of survival for a child.
The side of the ship was empty, as if it was an empty ship that had been docked somewhere else.
Li Bai's worries soon became a reality.
Just as the man swam to the side of the child and grabbed him from behind, the ship had already sailed behind him.
Many people on the river bank saw this scene and shouted towards the boat and the man.
However, the ship was empty.
The sailors and crew members were all in the cabin and could not hear the shouting outside at all.
Instead, the man felt that he was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.
He looked back blankly and saw a huge ship only ten meters away from him!
The ship moves forward, accelerating the surrounding water.
He held the child in one hand and paddled quickly in the water with the other hand, but the shadows around him not only did not disappear, but gradually swallowed him whole.
The fast-flowing water made it extremely difficult for him to swim.
The woman on the shore had collapsed to the ground.
Many people couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.
Even Meng Haoran couldn't bear it and looked away.
But just as he turned his head, he suddenly saw Li Bai standing up.
"Mr. Meng, I'll be back soon."
As Li Bai said this, he jumped out of the window and jumped down.
Meng Haoran stood up suddenly.
They were on the third floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, which, including the steps below, was more than ten meters high.
However, when he saw Li Bai land lightly on the ground and reach the shore after a few jumps, he widened his eyes in shock.
Even the notorious thief "Flying on the Grass" might not be able to perform such superb martial arts, right?
And this was just the beginning of the shock.
When he saw Li Bai leap more than ten meters away, raise his hand to aim at the building ship a hundred meters away, and wave his arm to make the building ship tilt and deviate from its trajectory, he almost thought he was dreaming.
Li Bai raised his hand and pointed, and the man and the child flew to his side one after another. He pinched their waists without hesitation.
“Hiss, it hurts!”
Meng Haoran grimaced, even more shocked.
It wasn’t a dream!
He was in a trance when he suddenly saw Li Bai smiling at him, and then he actually flew up.
A moment later, Li Bai jumped over the window, landed gracefully, sat in front of Meng Haoran, picked up the warm wine in the cup and drank it all.
Meng Haoran was still staring blankly out the window.
"Mr. Meng!"
Meng Haoran came back to his senses when he heard Li Bai calling him.
He turned his head and stared at Li Bai, his lips trembling, and remained silent for a long time.
Li Bai is flying!
Just now he saw Li Bai flying! Although this good friend has the reputation of being a banished immortal, that is just the praise given to him by ordinary people!
Meng Haoran felt his lips were very dry.
"Mr. Meng, have a drink!"
Faced with the wine handed to him by Li Bai, he just took it mechanically, then choked and started coughing violently.
This actually made him wake up completely.
"Brother Li, what you said before, is it true?" He finally remembered the Space-Time Tavern that Li Bai had been talking about earlier.
At first he thought that was just an excuse for Li Bai to escape reality, but now he thought that it was obviously his own fault.
Li Bai did not nod, but asked in surprise: "Mr. Meng, do you think I am lying to you?"
Meng Haoran was not embarrassed, he just smiled bitterly and said: "If I didn't see you flying in the air with my own eyes, how could anyone believe such an incredible thing!"
"That's right." Li Bai nodded slightly when he thought of the shock he felt when he first entered the tavern.
But he quickly thought of what Meng Haoran said about "flying", shook his head and laughed: "That's not flying!"
Meng Haoran looked at him in confusion.
Li Bai stretched out his hand, and immediately a spider silk flew out from his wrist and stuck to Meng Haoran's wine glass.
He exerted a little force and pulled the wine glass into his palm.
"I can't fly, so I use this!" said Li Bai.
Meng Haoran was surprised and asked, "What kind of hidden weapon is this?"
"It's not a hidden weapon, it's spider silk," Li Bai said, "Remember the Spider-Man I told you about?"
"You mean the barbarian who can fly between buildings hundreds of meters high? Are there cars on the ground that can run without being pulled by mules or horses?" Meng Haoran asked.
"Yes." Li Bai nodded.
"Will the future really be like that?" Meng Haoran looked longingly.
Li Bai smiled: "That is not the future, but the reality that is happening in other worlds!"
Meng Haoran fell silent.
He felt that the amount of information was too much and he needed to digest it carefully.
Seeing someone approaching from a distance, Li Bai winked at Meng Haoran and said, "Mr. Meng, let's talk somewhere else."
After saying this, he leaped out of the window and flew away on the spider silk.
On this day, the legend of flying fairies appeared in the Yellow Crane Tower!
…
About an hour later, the two met in a small teahouse in Jiangxia.
After so long, Meng Haoran's mentality has returned to normal.
At least that's what it seems on the surface.
But his curiosity about the tavern never diminished.
After listening to Li Bai's narration of the wonders of the tavern again, Meng Haoran was amazed.
"Or I can take Mr. Meng with me." Li Bai invited him after looking at his reaction.
"Let's talk about it when you come back." Meng Haoran refused.
He didn't want to interrupt Li Bai's plan because of his curiosity.
What's more, Li Bai said that the time and space currency must be exchanged for gold and other treasures. He planned to save some money and go there after being well prepared.
"Is it true what you said about the world about to fall into chaos?" Meng Haoran said solemnly.
Li Bai nodded, looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid this prosperity can only last for twenty years."
"Can you explain it in detail?" Meng Haoran was really curious.
Li Bai then talked about the Anshi Rebellion, and how Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong controlled the government.
Meng Haoran slammed the table when he heard this: "Such treacherous officials and evil thieves should be killed by everyone!"
Li Bai shook his head and said, "If the emperor was not incompetent and favored treacherous ministers, it would not have come to this!"
He immediately stood up and said, "So before I leave, I will go to Chang'an and advise Li Longji in person!"
I am on good terms with Qin Shi Huang, so what does a mere Li Longji mean to me? Meng Haoran said worriedly, "I'm afraid he may not be willing to see you."
Li Bai smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, you don't know that what I like and am best at is not spider silk, but the three-foot green peak in my hand!"
He drew his sword and laughed, "I have been sharpening my sword for ten years, but I have never tried it. Today I will show it to you, if anyone has any complaints!"
