Chapter 24 Becoming a hero for a time
Chapter 24 Be a Hero Once upon a time
Willow trees hung green on the river embankments on both sides. A breeze blew by, and the willow branches swayed in the wind, like a graceful beauty, but it had a different flavor.
The soft and warm sunlight shone through the canopy of the boat. It was mottled and fine but not dazzling at all. Su Mingjue put her hands behind her head, crossed her legs left and right, and looked at the wild flowers and weeds on the shore very comfortably.
The boat was light and the breeze was blowing on her face. After a while, Su Mingjue felt sleepy due to the wind. Just when she was about to close her eyes with her thin and long eyelashes, she suddenly heard a noise not far away.
Then I heard a "plop", as if something fell into the river.
Su Mingjue was still about to sleep, but was suddenly awakened by the sudden sound. He was forced to open his eyes with some annoyance and went to explore the noisy place.
But on the dark water not far from the boat, I saw a man flopping on it. He was probably choked and couldn't swim. His whole body was moved up and down by the water, and he opened his mouth and shouted for help. .
The boat closest to the man looked like it had carved railings. A group of people saw him struggling in the water, and had no idea of rescuing him. Instead, they laughed.
The man had apparently fallen from that ship.
Su Mingjue didn't have time to think too much. He stood up from the boat with a "swish", then took off the hat on his head, and a carp slid down and got into the river.
The river water in spring was not very warm, with a hint of biting coldness. Su Mingjue's clothes were not particularly thin, so it was still very laborious to swim in the water.
She finally swam to the man's side and caught him before he sank to the bottom. However, the man seemed to be holding on to something suspended, holding him tightly and wrapping around him like a vine. Su Mingjue wanted to I took him back to the shore, but I couldn't stretch his arms and legs at all.
Su Mingjue casually patted his shoulder with his hand and said at the risk of being choked: "Brother, let go and I'll hold you."
The man became even more nervous when he heard Su Mingjue talking, thinking that he wanted to Giving up on him, he immediately hugged her tighter.
Su Mingjue was so anxious in the water that he just wanted to curse. If he continued like this, he would be dragged to the bottom of the river by him.
Meng Helan stood on the boat and just wanted to watch the fun. These dandy boys always liked to tease others, so he didn't pay attention when they started to attack.
The people on the boat laughed even louder when they saw someone jumping off.
"Hey, did you see that a hero saved the beauty?"
"I don't know if I can save her!"
"I'm afraid, look at the actor dragging down the person he saved."
A dandy said in a brazen tone: "It's such a pity. The person who saved people also has a good face. If I hadn't known how to swim, I would have jumped right now."
"Hey, don't tell me that the person who saved people really has a good face. Good
eyes , as moist and clear as peach blossoms."
When Meng Helan heard this word, she subconsciously looked into the water, and when she saw it, she saw a pair of familiar eyes flashing on the dark water.
He immediately called people over, "Which of you can swim in the water will be rewarded heavily for rescuing the person in the water."
When the few dudes who were having a heated discussion just heard this, they instantly became quiet.
Who is Meng Helan?
This is a well-known little devil in the capital. He usually doesn't say a word when he sees them oppressing the people, but now he calls for help.
They were the ones who got the actress, and if Meng Helan wants to rescue her this time, she doesn't know if she will settle the score with them.
Therefore, the group of people who had been making fun of the river just now stopped and huddled together like quails, fearing that the bastard's anger would bring harm to them.
Su Mingjue, who was still swimming in the water, hit the person in the water hard. The person who was already panicked was hit from behind again, and he fainted immediately.
When Su Mingjue saw that the person in his arms was no longer struggling, she hugged his waist from behind and swam hard to the side of the boat where he had just been. However, he stayed in the water for too long, causing his legs to cramp now, so he stopped swimming halfway. Not moving anymore.
The huge noise also alerted Song Chunhe and Xiao Jingming who were playing Pai Gow in the cabin. They were also very anxious when they saw Su Mingjue jumping off the boat.
After Su Xiaoliu looked around at the people on the boat, he realized it was his young master and shouted anxiously.
Mu Li also took a step to react. When he saw that Su Mingjue was halfway through swimming and couldn't come up, he immediately jumped into the water and swam over.
Seeing that few people in the group stood up to speak, Meng Helan couldn't care less at the moment and shouted angrily: "Call all the slaves on the ship and go down to rescue people who know how to swim. I will give you a big reward!"
People scattered around the ship ! After receiving the order, they gathered one after another. After hearing that there was a reward, some fishermen took off their clothes and prepared to jump into the water to save people.
But I heard a man standing by the boat, shouting happily: "Those two people have been rescued, they have been rescued!"
Mu Li swam near Su Mingjue, stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms, and relied on Mu Li's pull. , all three finally successfully landed.
When Su Mingjue was rescued, he was soaked to the skin and leaning against the wall of the ship, breathing heavily. A group of people saw him coming up and gathered around him.
Seeing that Su Mingjue was trembling slightly, Xiao Jingming ordered his servants: "Quickly cook some ginger soup, and send an order to the boatman to find the nearest place to dock the boat."
Su Xiaoliu took the cloak from the boy on the side and wrapped it in it. His eyes were a little red and he said: "Master, how are you?"
Su Mingjue waved her hand, her lips were a little pale, and she said with a smile: "I'm fine, but the weather is a bit cold, and my legs cramped when I was halfway through the swim. How is the condition of the person I rescued?"
Su Xiaoliu was focused on his master. Seeing that his master was unwell and had no time to care about others, he immediately shook his head, "I don't know."
Song Chunhe took it. Some clean clothes were handed to Su Mingjue: "Fengda, you are wet again. It will be better if you change into these clothes. I originally prepared them because I was worried that I would get drunk. You are thinner than me, although they don't fit you. But it can probably be worn."
Su Mingjue took the clothes and thanked her, and Su Xiaoliu immediately took off Su Mingjue's wet clothes.
When Song Chunhe saw that Su Mingjue was still looking at him, he said angrily: "Don't worry, that person has been taken care of. Tell me why you almost lost your life for such an actor?"
Su Mingjue He raised his hand and let Su Xiaoliu wipe his body, and said kindly: "If it were you, you would save him."
Su Mingjue changed his clothes and felt much better. He still remembered that the person who saved him was Mu Leaving, he looked around but saw no sign.
Su Xiaoliu asked Su Xiaoliu: "Where is Mu Li?"
Su Xiaoliu took the ginger soup that the boy on the boat had cooked and blew: "He should go change clothes."
Su Mingjue did not expect Mu Li who often drove horses. Li can actually swim. He looks ordinary on weekdays, no different from Su Xiaoliu.
...
The rescued actor slowly woke up after being pinched.
He looked at the strange environment
around him and said in a hoarse voice: "Where is this place?" Seeing him waking up, the boy watching over him smiled and said: "You are lucky, you were saved by Mr. Su. You will be here now." On my young master’s boat.”
The actor continued to ask: "Who is Master Su?"
The boy next to him replied: "Master Su is a friend of my young master, and he also studied at Luming Academy."
