Lu Yunrong gave the maid a warning look.

The two of them shrunk their shoulders and remained silent.

Puyang also understands that at the beginning, Lu Yunrong showed his identity to seek vitality and trust with his net worth.

An official lady casually died in the wilderness, arousing suspicion. And she reported herself to her home, if the whereabouts of the King of Chu were revealed, it would be easy to find revenge.

Puyang touched his chin, are all young people so scheming now?

He just wanted to send Miss Lu back as soon as possible, and then go to meet Puyang Xuan.

After walking for about two minutes, the group came to a small village.

It happened that a doctor was in the village to treat the old people and helped Lu Yunrong to treat his wounds simply.

"After returning to the capital, let's take medicine and bandage it seriously, and you must not move or get wet, otherwise be careful that the wound will worsen, and it will be difficult to cure it when the time comes."

Lu Yunrong thanked him warmly and motioned for the maid to send the consultation fee.

The doctor happily accepted the money and continued to treat others.

Subsequently, Lu Yunrong spent money to ask the villagers to send him to the capital with an ox cart, and thanked Puyang again, "Don't dare to trouble the prince again, just go back by yourself." ”

"That's good," Pu Yang Xuan also wants to catch up with Pu Yang Xuan as soon as possible, this man learns things so fast that he is not very relieved, so I feel that it will be better to follow all the way, "Miss Lu is careful on the road." ”

"Yes, thank you." Lu Yunrong half-lowered his head, even if he was covered in dust now, it was difficult to hide his gentle and touching temperament.

Puyang didn't care how beautiful the girl in front of him was, and hurriedly rode away.

Lu Yunrong looked at the back of Puyang Yu's departure, and his eyes deepened.

Her father worked in the Ministry of Works, so she knew that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was in charge of repairing the dikes and canals. But last night her father told her not to run around in the north of the city if she was fine, obviously something big happened, and sure enough, when she went out in the morning, she heard that a plague patient had been found in Yong'an Qu.

And His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who should have been trapped there, appeared in the wilderness dozens of miles away?

Lu Yunrong squinted his eyes, after the trip to Liangzhou, the emperor rewarded the officials who participated in the peace negotiation, but only "forgot" the king of Chu, which must have some doorways.

Is it true that the king of Chu didn't do anything?

In her mind, King Chu's handsome and extraordinary face appeared, as well as that indifferent and detached body, she only had one feeling - this man was by no means simple.

"Miss, the ox cart is arranged, and the slave will help you over?"

The maid's voice interrupted Lu Yunrong's thoughts.

Lu Yunrong looked sideways, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a bright smile.

The maid was frightened by this sudden and inexplicable smile, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"Nope." Lu Yunrong shook his head and leaned on his cane to support his body, "I just thought of something interesting." ”

Puyang hurriedly whipped up and rushed back to Puyang Xuan's side, when he saw this man standing on the river beach, and the bright crystal river water sprinkled with sunlight did not pay attention to him, he was a little in a trance.

He shook his head, this man full of secrets was really fascinating.

Pu Yang Xuan walked over unhurriedly and stood beside Pu Yang Xuan, "Settle Miss Lu, she won't tell you about meeting us." ”

Pu Yangxuan let out a faint "um", and his eyes never left the river.

The terrain is sunken, and the water of the river flows into the valley, rushing between the mountains into the distance.

"Is there a problem here?" Puyang looked around, and there were only small cabins where the hunters lived temporarily among the mountains and trees, and there were no groups of people gathered here.

This is the end of the repair of the embankment, and the local officials will have to work on the areas that need to be repaired in the future.

Pu Yangxuan shook his head, "Just take a look." ”

"Then let's go over there and cross the river and check the other side, shall we?" Puyang looked at the sky, "If you don't leave, before you go back, the sky will already be dark." ”

"Hmm."

Before the two of them could turn around, a voice came from the slope.

"Hey, be careful, don't be accidentally swept up in the river."

They looked up and saw that it was a woodcutter who was talking.

"The river is so calm, how can it roll people up?" Puyang said with a smile: "If there is a strong wind and waves, we don't dare to go down." ”

The woodcutter sighed: "There is an undercurrent whirlpool under this section of the river, and I don't know how many people have been swept up in it and fed the belly of the fish." ”

Puyang looked at the still calm river and asked, "Are there a lot of people who fall into the water here?" ”

However, it is difficult to find the bodies of people who have drowned, and the government will not care much, at most set up a sign by the river to tell people to be careful.

The woodcutter nodded and said, "I heard that on a sunny day, when the wind and waves are calm, people stand on the river beach and look at the scenery, and suddenly a big wave rolls up, and they are swept in......"

"Uh, that sounds a bit evil, huh?" Puyang looked at the river and involuntarily took a step back.

The woodcutter said solemnly: "Don't believe it, I have seen it with my own eyes!" ”

"Oh?"

The woodcutter said: "Five or six years ago, I went up the mountain to chop wood as usual, but when I passed by here, I saw a man in his thirties and forties standing on the river beach, standing in your position. ”

He raised his hand and pointed his fingertips at the place where Pu Yangxuan was standing.

Pu Yangxuan was unmoved.

Puyang couldn't help but want to pull him aside, but looking at that face, he didn't want to move.

The woodcutter said: "The weather was as good that day as it is today, and the river was calm and waveless, but suddenly I felt the silver light shining in front of me, as if a huge wave had been lifted, and then the man fell into the river, and I only had time to see a human head, and then the man sank!" ”

"Did you go to the rescue?" Puyang felt that he was asking nonsense.

The woodcutter shook his head, "I was scared to death, and I went closer to look, and the man never appeared again." I think of the legends of all these years, how dare I get closer? And this way, maybe I'll be involved in it? I only went to the yamen to say a word, but every year there are always people who fall into the water, and the yamen will not take care of it. ”

Puyang asked, "Didn't you see anything else except the water waves at that time?" ”

The woodcutter shook his head affirmatively and said, "No." I wondered, it must be that countless people drowned in the river and turned into ghosts, and they need to pull the living down to be substitutes for the dead ghosts in order to be liberated, right? ”

Puyang arched his hand, "Thank you Uncle for reminding us, we will be careful." ”

The woodcutter said no more, and left with two bundles of branches.

Pu Yang Yu followed and climbed up the slope, beckoning to the indifferent Pu Yang Xuan, "Let's go quickly." ”

Pu Yangxuan still didn't move, looked at the river thoughtfully, and asked quietly: "Don't you think such a legend is a little familiar?" ”
