Seeing that the rescuers were gone, Lu Xu felt bad and jumped without thinking.
The river is calm on the surface but turbulent on the inside. I guess it has something to do with water ghosts.
Seeing the water ghost holding on to the rescuer's feet, Lu Xu lost his temper and swam over there.
On the shore, a group of people were in a panic.
"What should I do? Will Brother Xu be okay?"
"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, Brother Xu will be fine!"
"What should I do? Are there any rescuers?"
The trainees are generally young, so they will inevitably be worried when encountering such a thing for the first time.
The person in charge of the scenic spot was the same. He was extremely worried and his head felt like it was getting bigger.
"Hurry up, Lao Xu, get off!"
Nothing can happen to the rescuers, let alone Lu Xu.
No one dared to take this responsibility. The person in charge even thought that Lu Xu was impulsive and that if anything happened, it would just cause trouble for the rescue.
Xu Haoming was extremely anxious, fearing that something would really happen to Lu Xu.
Thinking that he was good at water, Xu Haoming was ready to take off his shirt and rush in. As a result, before he could take action, someone grabbed his arm.
"do not go!"
The words were not firm, but the voice still sounded familiar.
Xu Haoming turned around in surprise and saw that the person pulling him was Ji Xiunian. He was a little surprised: "Brother Nian?"
In his opinion, Ji Xiunian and Lu Xu's previous relationship was better than theirs. Logically speaking, Ji Xiunian should be more anxious than him.
But now Ji Xiunian not only didn't think about going down to rescue Lu Xu, he even didn't want others to go into the water. Xu Haoming was a little confused and even wondered for a moment if they were plastic brothers.
"Believe me, Lu Xu will be fine."
Xu Haoming originally wanted to say that since you are not underwater and you are not Lu Xu, how can you be sure that nothing will happen. But when he raised his head and met Ji Xiunian's eyes, he couldn't help but be startled——
Ji Xiunian's tone of voice was very firm, and his eyes revealed absolute trust.
He looked at himself, as if following his gaze into his heart. At that moment, Xu Haoming suddenly believed his words, and began to feel that Lu Xu would be fine.
"Don't go into the water yet. Lu Xu will bring people up right away." Ji Xiunian stood by the river and stopped the trainees and scenic spot staff who were trying to go down to find people.
No one wanted anything to happen to Lu Xu. Seeing Ji Xiunian so firmly opposed to committing suicide, some people couldn't help but ask why he was so sure that Lu Xu was fine.
It's just that Ji Xiunian was not in a hurry to explain these issues when faced with people's doubts.
His aura is so strong that even just standing there seems to be an extra wall out of thin air, giving people a sense of oppression that they dare not object to.
Just when the person in charge of the scenic spot was wondering whether to send people down, the water surface suddenly became rippled again. ,
Everyone looked over there and saw the rescuers' heads above the water. They looked like they had fainted. They didn't know what the specific situation was.
Not long after, Lu Xu also poked his head out and dragged the person to the shore: "It's okay, you can wake up after taking a rest."
Lu Xu said this in an understatement, and everyone felt a little confused when they heard it——
To see if this person is okay, don't we have to check his vital signs first?
In such a short period of time, Lu Xu probably didn't have time to observe the rescuers. How did he know that he was okay?
Everyone was full of questions and wanted to ask Lu Xu, but they didn't expect that instead of going ashore, he turned back into the river.
Xu Haoming wanted to call Lu Xu, but when he caught a glimpse of the man floating in the river, he suddenly understood what Lu Xu wanted to do: "Oh my God, isn't Brother Xu going to drag the body up?"
As if to prove his guess, Lu Xu actually went to the corpse.
Under the river, the water ghost saw Lu Xu shivering, fearing that the man would beat him to pieces.
In fact, it hadn't been long since she became a ghost. Although she didn't know Lu Xu, she felt that this young man was scary for no reason.
The water ghost's name is Li Zhenrong, and he turns fifty this year.
Originally, I had suffered a lot from marrying the wrong person in the first half of my life, so I thought it would be fine if my husband could not rely on me and the children would be raised.
As a result, the children grew up and their lives did not get much better.
Li Zhenrong was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis two years ago, and the disease progressed faster than others. I had to take a lot of medicine every day and endure severe pain. Li Zhenrong only felt that this life was really enough. He was suffering from menopausal sensitivity and depression, and he wanted to die.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to jump into the river, thinking that she would be dead.
I originally thought that the worst thing was death, but I didn't expect that there was something more terrifying than death - being trapped in the land of death and experiencing this feeling of despair all the time.
As her senior, the last water ghost even said sorry when he drowned her, but this did not delay him from dragging himself down at all.
Li Zhenrong never dreamed that he would become a water ghost after his death.
But no matter what, she didn't want to stay in such a horrible place for twenty years.
Seeing rescuers coming down, Li Zhenrong dragged him without thinking.
Anyway, she had just spent her life learning how to be a qualified water ghost not long ago, so she would not let go of the opportunity to get started so soon.
Everything was going smoothly, but she never expected that Lu Xu would come out in the middle.
When facing this young man, she not only had no other thoughts, but also had a natural fear.
Seeing that his behavior was not cruel, Li Zhenrong couldn't help but ask him: "Sir, why can't I hurt others while the person in front of me can hurt others? I have never done anything bad in my life, why is fate so cruel to me? I am not allowed to live. It's better to torture me like this even if you die..."
She was chattering there, but Lu Xu only listened briefly.
When she had finished what she said, Lu Xu "replied" to him: "You have committed murder."
"Kill someone? I don't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I kill someone..." Li Zhenrong defended immediately, feeling that he had been wronged and wronged.
Lu Xu rarely looked at her directly, and gave her the answer with a half-smile: "Kill yourself."
If murder is a sin, suicide is also a crime to some extent.
Everything is destined, so Li Zhenrong naturally couldn't find a substitute for him here.
But after he leaves, whether the replacement time is short or long, it will be Li Zhenrong's own business.
"He came to the water for you. Even if he wants to harm you, he can't be so cruel." Lu Xu didn't want to waste time with her here, so he just held her body with one hand and swam out.
Li Zhenrong stared at Lu Xu's back blankly, not knowing what to do or sigh for a moment.
No matter what the outcome is now, everything is your choice.
No one could bear the consequences for her, so Li Zhenrong could only hide in the water with complicated thoughts.
The people on the shore first checked the rescuers' vital signs and found that everything was fine, and then they were temporarily relieved.
When he regained consciousness, he saw Lu Xu dragging the body ashore, placing her on the body bag and trying to find a place to take a shower.
The people nearby were shocked when they saw Lu Xu. No one expected that Lu Xu would go down and not only save the rescuers, but even drag the body back.
When they came to their senses, everyone unconsciously applauded and praised Lu Xu.
His body was covered with water, and he had just come into contact with the corpse, so he couldn't really move forward much.
At this moment, Ji Xiunian suddenly took off his coat and walked forward and put it on Lu Xu, his attitude was intimate and natural.
When passing by the person in charge of the scenic spot, Lu Xu did not forget to whisper: "If you don't want anything to happen again, don't let people go into the river."
"Oh, okay." The scenic spot has actually banned people from going into the river. Who would have thought that someone would take the initiative to jump into the river.
Just because Lu Xu said it, he subconsciously listened.
I don't know why, but Lu Xu looks young and gives people more pressure than the leaders above him.
Just when he was thinking wildly, his colleague suddenly said: "Oh my god, what is this?"
Following the line of sight of his colleagues, he saw a circle of bruises on the rescuer's ankle. Upon closer inspection, it looked more like marks from someone's hands.
What's even more frightening is that there are similar marks on the female corpse's ankles, but they are larger than those on the rescuers' ankles.
Speaking of which, the marks on the female corpse's feet looked like a man's hands, while those on the rescuers' feet looked like they were being held by a woman.
Everyone first looked at the marks on the ankles of the rescuers, and then compared them with the hands of the female corpse. Suddenly, they felt a chill running down their spines - this was really, really scary when you think about it.
