Sparks touched the oil and wine, and the earth was set on fire.

The floor and walls of the lobby of the painting house were all made of wood, and with the curtains and gauze, the entire lobby was almost instantly licked by flames.

In the sea of ​​fire, Yang Shengcai and his three companions couldn't even see the young waiter's appearance clearly.

At this moment, they could not care about these things, and they no longer had the composure they had when they pushed Jiang Zhan into the water. They were panicked and shouted at the top of their lungs: "The fire is coming, the fire is coming!"

Jiang Si smiled at the four panicked people and jumped out of the window.

The sound of a heavy object falling into the water seemed to give the four people a hint. They turned around in panic and jumped out of the nearest window.

Like dumplings, the popping sounds came one after another.

Soon after the four men jumped overboard, the waiters and servants who stayed on the pleasure boat discovered that the four young men had already jumped overboard, and either relied on their own excellent swimming skills or borrowed wooden basins and barrels to escape.

The first feeling Jiang Si felt after jumping into the water was coolness.

The summer heat has not yet dissipated, and the night breeze carries a suffocating warmth. It is precisely because of the temperature difference between the ground and the water that the river water feels particularly cool.

Jiang Siqing couldn't help but shiver, and with his legs slightly kicked, his head emerged from the water.

Cool drops of water rolled down her smooth cheeks, and at that moment Jiang seemed to suddenly think of someone.

She was born and raised in the capital, and moved from the backyard of the Dongping Marquis's mansion to the backyard of the Anguo Duke's mansion. Of course, she had no chance to learn how to swim. It was Yu Qi who taught her this skill when she was in the south.

There is a lot of water in the south, with lakes of all sizes everywhere.

Yu Qi once pushed her into the river as a joke and watched her struggle fiercely. He was surprised that she, a saint girl of the Wu Miao tribe, could not swim.

At that time, she felt guilty and sad.

She felt guilty that the other party treated her as Saint Asan when he contacted her, and this was what made her sad.

Later, she finally couldn't help but admit that she was just a Han woman who accidentally drifted to southern Xinjiang, and not the saint Asan.

Yu Qi was silent for a long time, then said to her, "I already knew it, you and Asan look exactly alike."

Only later did she find out that Yu Qi knew from the beginning that she was just a substitute for Asan.

In any case, she learned to swim under Yu Qi's guidance.

In Yu Qi's words, there are lakes everywhere. If you don't learn how to swim well, what if you fall into the water one day? No matter how many people protect you, you are not as capable of saving yourself as yourself.

She took it very seriously and studied very seriously.

Now, she has actually used this skill twice. The first time was to save Ji Chongyi's lover who fell into the water, thus successfully breaking off the engagement, and this time was to escape after setting a fire.

"Girl, give me your hand!" In the dim night, the light of water and lights swayed with the flowing water, and Ah Man's anxious voice was heard.

Jiang Si held the hand that Ah Man handed over to him and used the other's strength to nimbly get on the boat.

Looking at the dripping wet Jiang Si, Ah Man couldn't help but complain: "Miss, you are so brave, you really scared me to death!"

"What are you afraid of? I've already made an agreement with Lao Qin." Jiang Si looked around, "Is the Second Young Master okay?"

Lao Qin hired this small black-covered boat to disguise himself as selling fresh fruits, so that it would be inconspicuous among the countless boats on the Jinshui River.

Ah Man pointed to the cabin and said, "The Second Young Master is in there. He hasn't woken up yet, but Lao Qin said he's fine."

They followed the pleasure boat closely and rescued Jiang Zhan as soon as he fell into the water. However, because Jiang Zhan was drunk, he fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing that Jiang Zhan was fine, Jiang Si felt relieved.

By this time, the pleasure boat was completely ablaze, with flames rising into the sky like an angry dragon, and the river surface around the pleasure boat was reflected in red.

Screams and cries were heard incessantly. The surrounding boats had already been alarmed and were slowly approaching the pleasure boat to rescue people.

"Help, help--" A faint cry for help was heard, and a hand touched the side of the boat where Jiang Si was.

Soon a wet face appeared.

Ah Man let out a low cry of surprise and looked at Jiang Si.

This person seemed to be the one who boarded the pleasure boat with the Second Young Master.

Lao Qin still held the oar silently, as if he saw nothing.

He would only listen to the girl's instructions. If the girl asked him to save someone, he would lend a hand. If the girl didn't give the order, he would never act on his own.

Saving lives is a strenuous job.

Jiang Si was looking down from above, staring coldly at the face.

The person who asked her for help was actually Yang Shengcai.

At this moment Jiang Si actually felt that God was still very kind. She was not planning to leave immediately, but wanted to find Yang Shengcai, but she didn't expect that the other party would come to her door.

Jiang Si smiled at Yang Shengcai who looked up for help.

At this time, because she had been in the water, the powder on her face began to melt, forming cloudy drops that flowed down her cheeks. It looked extremely funny, but fortunately, this made it even harder to tell her original appearance.

Yang Shengcai suddenly saw this face in the midst of the struggle, but he was not afraid. He held on to the side of the boat with one hand and stretched out his other hand as hard as he could: "Save me... I am the grandson of the Minister of Rites. If you save me, I will give you a lifetime of wealth and glory!"

Jiang Si lowered his head, his face expressionless, his voice as cold as ice: "What I want, you are reluctant to give it to me."

Although Yang Shengcai was a playboy, he was not stupid. The life-and-death situation aroused his quick wit. At this time, he had already seen that Jiang Sicai was the one in charge, and immediately said: "You...what do you want? I will give it to you..."

Jiang Siwei curled the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly: "Of course I want to kill you."

After she finished speaking, she forcefully pried Yang Shengcai's hands apart, picked up a bamboo pole from the boat and pressed it down on Yang Shengcai's head.

Yang Shengcai had learned to swim, but he was not very good at it. After falling into the water, he struggled to swim to other boats for help. However, he was unlucky. His original destination was a pleasure boat more than ten feet away. But when he saw this awning boat, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw. He was unwilling and had no strength to swim forward.

However, he did not expect that this life-saving straw was actually a death warrant.

He was completely submerged in the water and no matter how hard he struggled he could not float up. The bamboo pole pressing on his head was getting stronger and stronger, causing his body to sink little by little.

Finally, Yang Sheng could no longer struggle. The water plants at the bottom of the river slowly entangled his ankles. Strings of bubbles overflowed from the corners of his mouth, gradually rising to the surface of the water and finally bursting.

Jiang Si put away the bamboo pole expressionlessly, put it back into the boat, and told Lao Qin, "Let's go."

Lao Qin's expression hardly changed, and he immediately increased the speed of rowing.

Many boats had already approached, but because the pleasure boat was burned too badly, they could not get close and could only try their best to rescue the people who fell into the water.

All the noise and panic were left behind by the small awning boat, which headed towards the shore.

Ah Man had not recovered from the shock of his master's clean and swift killing. He said with a trembling voice, "Miss, just now——"

Jiang Si glanced at her and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? Just now, I was saving people."

Isn’t the death of such a heartless beast saving people?

She looked back and saw flames rising to the sky behind her. The Jinshui River seemed to become even more gorgeous.
