"Ah... Look, she... She's staring at us. And the shoes she's wearing are red. My mother said that if you see someone wearing red cloth shoes die, they will be haunted by the ghost for the rest of their lives. Woo woo woo... So scary!"
Covering her masked face, Shu Jiaying suddenly squatted down from the chair and pointed at the river surface seriously, screaming in horror.
People who wanted to pretend that they saw nothing were no longer calm, and the man who had previously argued with Boss Zhu stood up again.
"Boss Zhu, did you hear that? The person who fell into the river is now looking at us angrily. If we don't save her, she will become a fierce ghost after she dies. Then none of us will be able to escape, and no boat will dare to sail on this side of the river."
The man's words immediately caused a stir at the scene, and everyone in the cabin began to talk about it.
"Boss Zhu, you can't do this. If you don't save Feng Qiao'er for fear of bad luck, you'll cause even greater trouble. If you don't want to make a living by sailing, that's your business. You can't bring trouble upon everyone else."
"Yes, it's very immoral to watch someone die without helping. If Feng Qiao'er really turns into a ghost, it will be even more difficult to make amends."
"Boss Zhu, you should drive the boat over and let that woman get on board. Everyone knows her name, and it's really uncomfortable..."
“…”
Although Boss Zhu listened to everyone's words, he still stubbornly refuted them.
"Do you know that Feng Qiao'er will become a ghost after she dies?"
A faint voice came from the stern.
"Because she's wearing red shoes!"
This voice was once again confirmed by everyone. Everyone knew that the person who said this was the ugly girl from the village old man Shu's family. This girl had been possessed by a ghost not long ago, so what she said was absolutely correct. Everyone answered in unison: "People who wear red shoes really will become evil spirits..."
"you……"
His psychological defenses were finally broken, and Boss Zhu made a compromise.
"Okay, you guys have to rescue Feng Qiao'er to the shore, do it yourselves, I won't go into the water anyway."
"Then I can't swim either."
"I don't know either..."
When talking about who would rescue the people, everyone's eyes were fixed on the man.
The man understood what everyone meant and he sighed slightly.
"Okay, I'm the one who suggested this. I'll save the people in the river!"
"You said that yourself, didn't you? Now you not only have to save people, but you are the one who caused Feng Qiao'er's trouble. You have to bear this trouble alone from now on. Otherwise, if you do, it will implicate everyone on our ship. We in Guangming Village will not let you go, Bagui."
The man called Bagui knew that Boss Zhu said this on purpose, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to pat his chest and accept his fate.
"Okay, carry it yourself. I won't let Feng Qiao'er get you into trouble."
After hearing these words, Boss Zhu steered the boat towards the place where Feng Qiaoer fell into the river.
Fortunately, the boat approached in time, because when Bagui jumped into the water, Feng Qiaoer had already slowly slid under the water due to exhaustion, and was about to sink into the water.
Bagui grabbed Feng Qiaoer's hand, and Feng Qiaoer was finally rescued and put on the boat.
Shu Jiaying, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great that no one died!
Because of the rescue, Boss Zhu's boat delayed its return voyage. It was almost evening when it returned to Guangming Village. Shu Jiaying originally wanted to clean up the collapsed thatched house on the back mountain, but after looking at the sky, she finally gave up. After all, Grandma Xu was still waiting for her to go back home to cook.
