well……
With a deep sigh, Shu Jiaying had truly experienced the ups and downs of life since her soul traveled to this strange space whose name could not even be found in history. Here, she had no one to rely on, so she had to rely on herself for everything.
Even though she felt very aggrieved, Shu Jiaying, who had experienced life and death, deeply realized that no matter how great the injustice was, it was not more important than being able to stay alive.
Yes, alive!
"Help... Help... Help..."
Just when I began to feel hopeful about life, a woman's sharp cry for help suddenly came from the river.
Hearing the cry for help, almost everyone walked out of the cabin to see what was happening outside.
When boatman Zhu Lao Da saw everyone rushing to the bow of the boat, he hurriedly shouted to stop them.
"Hurry up and get back into the cabin. Come out... Don't you want to live?"
"No, Boss Zhu, it seems someone fell into the river. Hey... over there, just in front of the right side of the boat, there seems to be a girl struggling in the water."
Following the direction someone pointed, everyone saw a woman in a pink, exquisitely embroidered brocade dress holding a piece of driftwood tightly not far from the boat.
The woman kept waving towards the boat.
"Save me...quickly, quickly..."
“…”
Zhu Lao Da ignored the woman's pleas for help. He remained expressionless and said to the villagers who had piled onto the bow of the boat, "Go back and sit back down. You're all crowding into the bow. Do you want us all to capsize together?"
"But Boss Zhu, didn't you see that..."
A cold glance made the person who spoke shut up immediately.
Seeing that the person standing at the bow of the boat hadn't moved, Boss Zhu roughly dragged the man closest to him back to the cabin.
"I told you to go back and sit down, didn't you hear me?"
The man was instantly annoyed.
"I won't sit down. What's wrong with you, Boss Zhu? Can you really just watch someone die without helping?"
"Do you think I don't want to save her? Do you know who the person who fell into the water is? That woman is Feng Qiao'er, the notorious jinx in Fengyun Town.
This morning I heard from people in Fengyun Town that Feng Qiaoer was about to marry into a family as a concubine, but before she even entered the house, she killed the master of that family.
Later, the family was so angry that they sold Feng Qiaoer to the flower boat of Xianglingfang. However, not long after she got on the boat, a prostitute on the boat suddenly died.
The proprietress of Xianglingfang didn't want to cause such bad luck again, so she had Feng Qiaoer kicked off the boat and left her to fend for herself. You people are so righteous, then you get off the boat and save her, but I have something to say first.
My boat is clean. Whoever wants to save her must not come on board with her. Otherwise, I will also be affected by this bad luck and I will never forgive you."
“…”
After Boss Zhu said this, no one present dared to say a word. This time, no one needed to call them, and everyone returned to the cabin in an orderly manner.
No one seemed to hear the cry of "Help... Help me" from the river. Everyone looked at each other and the atmosphere was very weird.
Seeing the sound coming from the river getting weaker and weaker, Shu Jiaying knew that if she continued like this, the woman who fell into the water would definitely not be able to hold on and sink to the bottom of the river. However, if she rushed into the water rashly, the result might be even worse, because not only would the woman not be able to be rescued, but also -
She will definitely die miserably!
So, what now?
Rubbing her palms anxiously, Shu Jiaying looked out at the river from the stern. Just when she was completely lost in thought, a pair of bright red embroidered shoes, which had been kicked around in the water, emerged from the water. An idea struck her...
