 The incident happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned.

Qianfeng and Ping An looked at each other and jumped down without hesitation. But unlike He Qingxiao who jumped directly, they followed the steep wall to use vegetation, rocks, etc. to gain strength.

 “Go find your lord!” Huang Cheng shouted and acted like Qianfeng and the other two.

Seeing those people going down one by one regardless of the danger, the Sixth Master was dumbfounded.

what to do?

　　Since everyone has gone down, send him!

He glanced at Xiaoba, who was also stupid, and gritted his teeth: "I'll go down and have a look too."

 Xiaoba panicked: "Then, what about me?"

"Don't come down yet. If anything happens, I'll still have to rely on you." The sixth master said this and was about to cry.

In case he dies while he is away, someone must collect his body.

Who would have thought that life and death would be uncertain before the wealth and wealth could be reached?

 After a while, the Sixth Master's crying cry came from below: "Help!"

Xiao Ba looked around and saw that Mr. Liu was holding a protruding stone on the steep wall, and his clothes were caught on the branches above. The entire top was half-turned, covering his head inside, exposing his bare upper body.

 Zhao Zhixian hurriedly arranged for a skilled yamen servant to rescue Mr. Liu, and then selected two yamen servants who knew kung fu to go search for the person. Although he was anxious, he did not dare to waste time and continued to organize the transfer of villagers.

 After a long time, the rain finally stopped. People from the two villages arrived at a safe place and stopped to rest.

The villagers running in front didn’t know what happened, and they heard the comments from the villagers who witnessed Xinyou’s fall.

“Mr. Xin and Lord He are both good people, so why did something happen?”

"Yeah, I thought Mr. He was the kind of domineering official who pointed a knife at us. I didn't expect the flood to really come..." The person who said this was one of the villagers who was unwilling to leave at that time. , the more I think about it, the more I fear.

“You have said so much, what happened to Mr. Xin and Mr. He?”

"It's to save the third girl." The woman holding the girl in her arms choked with red eyes, "The third girl fell, and a stone happened to fly down from the mountain. Mr. Xin reminded that there was a falling rock, and Master He held the third girl to avoid it. The stone hit the place where the third girl fell down..."

　　Those who listened gasped and asked one after another: "Then what?"

There was a bit of confusion on the woman's face: "The stone cracked it, and Mr. Xin suddenly fell. It was too fast, too fast..."

 The accident only happened in a moment. It was only later when we saw the broken road surface that everyone understood what happened.

"This is how to do ah-"

The villagers were worried about the safety of the two of them and were also afraid that if something happened to such a noble person, they would be implicated.

 “Master Xin will be fine.” The person who said this was an old woman.

The old woman is usually a bit nagging. She is the kind of person that villagers will take two eggs to ask if they encounter something strange.

"Young Master Xin has no idea. He is the reincarnation of an immortal. How could something happen?" The old woman's voice was so loud that even Zhao County Magistrate heard it.

Although Zhao Zhixian didn’t believe in the idea of ​​immortal reincarnation, he didn’t say anything.

 People believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, which will give them the courage and confidence to face hardships.

But - how did Mr. Xin foresee the flood?

This thought flashed through Zhao Zhixian's mind, and was later suppressed by worry.

After settling these villagers, the magistrate of Zhao County summoned the county government. Some people were responsible for patrolling the city, some people went to each village to check the disaster situation, and another team of people went to look for Mr. Xin and Mr. He.

 Down the steep slope, the turbulent river rolled forward and met with another river that was flooded.

 In the depths of a hidden cave, there is a deep pool. It is dark and it is unknown where the bottom of the pool leads. Suddenly the calm water burst and a man emerged.

He Qingxiao hugged Xin You and pushed her to the edge of the pool with all his strength, but he was half floating and half submerged in the water, losing the strength to go up.

There is almost no light in the cave, and a man with a face as white as snow floats in the pool.

His eyes were tightly closed and motionless, with almost only his mouth and nose above the water, as if he had lost his life.

After an unknown amount of time, the man in the pool finally gathered enough strength and suddenly opened his eyes.

 He tried moving his fingertips.

　　The fingertips stretched and then tightened, feeling the return of control over the body, He Qingxiao immediately swam towards the edge of the pool. The sound of rushing water is particularly clear in the silent cave.

 What was even clearer was He Qingxiao's panicked mood.

 "Thank you for the imperial edict!" he called while picking up the upper body of the man lying on the ground.

　　The person leaning on his arms had her hair loose, and due to the continuous washing by the water, the waterproof makeup had also fallen off, returning to its original appearance.

 The person in my arms is so thin.

In the darkness, he couldn't see her appearance clearly, but he felt her clearly.

He shouted "Xin Daizhao" several times, but the person in his arms still didn't respond. He Qingxiao's hands couldn't control the trembling and he laid her flat on the ground, pressing her abdomen again and again, trying to push out the water.

There are water drops slowly condensing on the top of the cave, and they fall into the deep pool drop by drop. The boring and regular ticking sound blurred people's perception, and time seemed to slow down, even stagnating in He Qingxiao's perception.

 “Miss Xin, wake up!”

 “Miss Xin—”

 The man's voice was hoarse and forbearing, hiding despair.

He didn't dare to let this emotion expand, and shouted the names he didn't dare to say.

 Finally, the girl with her eyes closed spit out a mouthful of water and coughed.

At that moment, He Qingxiao's eyes brightened astonishingly, and he hurriedly helped her upper body up.

 “Miss Xin, how are you?”

Xinyou trembled her eyelashes.

She heard someone calling her Miss Xin.

My mother likes to call her Ayou, and other people in the valley call her Miss You, and when she goes out, others call her Mr. Xin.

By the way, she also became a Kou girl, Xin Daizhao... but no one ever called her Miss Xin.

 No, she once told someone that she could be called Miss Xin.

Congratulations, Sir!

 As this thought appeared, Xin You finally opened his eyes.

 There was darkness before my eyes.

"Miss Xin!" He Qingxiao, who had adapted to the dimness of the cave, vaguely saw Xin You opening her eyes, full of surprise.

After a slight silence, the girl hid her panic and said, "Master He, I can't see you."

"Don't be afraid, it's too dark here." He Qingxiao squeezed her hand unconsciously.

“Ahem—” Xinyou coughed a few times and touched his bloated and painful abdomen, “Master He, why are we here?”

 After adapting to the darkness, she could barely see his appearance.

“We fell into the river at the bottom of the steep slope. There were undercurrents and whirlpools at the bottom of the river. We got sucked in and came out again, and here we are. This should be a cave..."

Xin You listened quietly to what He Qingxiao said, and suddenly asked: "Master He just kept pressing my belly to push out the water?"

He Qingxiao didn't know whether to nod or not.

 I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he sounded a little bit annoyed.

 Do you think he is being abrupt?

 “Does Mr. He know the correct way to save a drowning person?”

He Qingxiao shook his head hesitantly.

 Isn’t it to press out the water poured in?

"It should be like this..." The girl's soft, cold lips touched his lips.
