Chapter 614 Falling into the Water
To get from the Delicacy Garden to the Medicinal Fragrance Garden, you have to cross several arch bridges.
It has to be said that Qinxiang Garden is truly picturesque and its location is also very discerning. Several rivers in Dezhou city pass through Qinxiang Garden, crisscrossing and sparkling in the sun. There are tourists boating on the river, playing musical instruments and singing, creating a scene of prosperity and peace.
"Big brother, I want to go over there and take a look. There are so many people over there. I wonder what they are looking at?"
Wan Quan looked up and saw two groups of people standing on the bridge not far away, one group of men and the other group of women. There was an obvious dividing line between the two groups, probably indicating the difference between men and women.
From time to time, the sound of people reciting poems and composing couplets could be heard on the bridge.
"They should be writing poetry. Neither of us can write poetry, so we'd better not join in the fun."
Wan Quan was not interested in these literati's stuff at all. He was only familiar with the art of war, which he had read because Wan Xingmo forced him to read it when they were fighting against the enemy at the border. It was also at that time that he learned quite a few characters, otherwise his cultural level would be worrying.
"Big brother, I can write poems. Let's go and have a look. Those sisters are so beautiful."
Fubao looked at the group of women standing on the bridge. All of them were dressed up beautifully. They were all young girls.
"Fubao, there is a difference between men and women, brother can't go."
"Okay, but we have to go to the Herbal Fragrance Garden, and we have to cross that bridge."
There was a cunning light in Fubao's eyes.
"Impossible? Qinxiang Garden is so big, how could there be only one road?"
"Because there is a river here. To cross the river, we need to build a bridge. Building a bridge costs much more than building a road. Why do people build so many bridges?"
Wanquan was a little surprised by what Fubao said, as if it was true, but he always felt that Fubao was fooling him.
"Brother, let's go quickly. It will be dark soon. I still need to visit other gardens."
Fubao hurriedly urged Wanquan.
Wanquan had no choice but to carry Fubao towards the arch bridge. The presence of the woman was just an excuse for Wanquan. In fact, he didn't want to meet those young masters.
These young masters were all scion of aristocratic families in the city, and many of them knew him. He would definitely be dragged away for drinks and social events whenever he passed by, and he would not be able to bring Fubao with him.
But as soon as the two stepped onto the bridge, they saw everyone on the bridge looking towards the river excitedly.
"Look, the flower boat is coming."
"Wow, this is definitely the most beautiful flower boat I have ever seen."
Wan Quan also turned his head to look at the river, and saw a large ship in the distance with a woman standing on the bow. The woman was not very clear as the distance was still quite far, but in the sunlight he could already see that it was a veritable flower boat, with flowers of various shapes all over the boat. There was an arch built with fresh flowers, and a crane standing on the arch.
Both sides of the river were also crowded with people, and everyone was attracted by the flower boat. At this time, a pleasant piano sound came from the flower boat, and the sound of the piano was melodious, like heavenly music.
Everyone was so enchanted that they couldn't help themselves, when suddenly a pink figure jumped from the arch bridge into the river.
"Oh, Miss, Miss! Our Miss has fallen into the water. Someone come and save her."
A maid stood on the bridge with an anxious look on her face, asking for help. However, it was spring and the weather was still chilly. Although the sun was shining today, the river water was still icy cold.
Besides, there is a river below with undercurrents. No one is willing to risk their life by jumping down.
Everyone on the shore looked worried, but they were pushing and shoving each other, and no one was willing to lend a hand to help.
"Big brother, someone has fallen into the water. I remember grandma told me that you grew up by the river when you were little. You must be a good swimmer, right? Go down and save them. Don't worry, with my medical skills, I will never let you and your sister get sick."
Fubao immediately struggled to get down.
"But--"
Wan Quan was a little hesitant. This was happening in public, and if he just jumped down, even if he rescued the woman, he would still be responsible for her. But he didn't want to get married so early.
"Brother, don't hesitate. That's a life. Can you just watch someone drown in front of you?"
"Miss! My Miss is missing!"
It was the maid's cry again. She was standing on the bridge, anxiously wanting to jump off the bridge to save someone, but was stopped by another maid.
"What are you doing? You'll die if you jump down, so why don't you find someone to save the young lady? There are many maids in this garden, go find someone quickly."
Another maid calmly pulled the maid who was about to jump off the bridge to look for someone.
Wanquan put Fubao on the ground. He looked down and saw that the river was flowing. The man should have been washed downstream.
The commotion here did not affect the tourists upstream, as they were all immersed in the flower boats. Only the people on the arch bridge were either watching the excitement or trying to find ways to save people.
Fubao pushed Wanquan hard from behind.
"Big brother, hurry up, hurry up."
Fubao's words really moved Wanquan. He couldn't just watch a life disappear in front of him.
He jumped down, and now both sides of the bridge were surrounded by people.
As Wan Quan leaped forward, everyone looked at his back.
"Someone jumped down, look."
"Who is this person?"
"He looks like a young gentleman."
"I didn't see his face, so I don't know who he is, but his back looks familiar."
"Don't guess, that's my eldest brother, the Lieutenant General of Dezhou. Do you know him?"
Fubao tilted his head back and looked at everyone. His voice was soft and sounded very cute.
Only then did everyone see a tiny creature as delicate as a piece of jade standing next to the bridge railing.
"Whose doll is this? It's so cute."
"Where are your parents? Who did you come with? Little girl?"
"Didn't you hear? The one who just jumped into the water was her brother."
"General of the Central Army of Dezhou?!"
"Oh my god, was the one who just jumped into the water the Lieutenant General of Dezhou? The youngest major general? Can I jump in now?"
A young girl in a green jacket and skirt covered her face and turned to look at the river in shock.
"You nympho, what are you thinking? No one will save you if you jump in."
Another woman in purple taunted.
Fubao was secretly delighted, it seemed that her older brother was quite popular in Texas. She said that her older brother was so young and promising, how could there be no girls interested in him?
"You're talking about me? How can you, a person whose engagement was broken off, be qualified to talk about me?"
The two men started arguing, but the people around them were looking nervously into the river. At this time, because Wan Quan jumped in, someone finally noticed the situation here. After all, it was Wan Quan's first time to come to Qinxiang Garden, and it was impossible for those managers not to pay attention.
At this moment, a boat has already reached the middle of the river, waiting for rescue.
