When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

As the man shouted, people's eyes were focused on the bottom of the boat.

Suddenly, screams and sounds of panic and crowding were heard everywhere. The entire shore was in chaos, and people were pushing and shoving to leave the lakeshore.

Guan Ziheng looked in the direction that the man pointed, and when he saw the bright red spreading under the hull, his legs and feet went weak on the spot. Lin Lezhi quickly supported Guan Ziheng.

Seeing the horrifying bright red spreading from the bottom of the boat, Lin Lezhi's eyes darkened.

After hearing this, the people on the boat also climbed up from the deck and looked into the lake. The bloodstains were getting larger and larger. With fear from the bottom of their hearts, the people on the boat fell down on the deck with horror on their faces.

In the midst of fear and confusion, the red palm print suddenly appeared in his sight.

And that palm print could only have come from his own hand.

The civilians who were sitting on the deck raised their hands tremblingly. Their originally clean palms were now full of blood, and the blood had even spread into the gaps between their fingers.

Looking down, the area below the knees was stained with blood without me noticing.

"what--!"

After a brief silence, a dozen people on the boat screamed, lost their minds, and scrambled to get under the boat.

Can……

Fishing boats are not as big as ships. After they are filled with lanterns for praying for blessings, there is no extra deck for people to disembark.

The people who wanted to escape all bumped into one place, and as they pushed and shoved, the boat was violently shaken up and down and left and right as the people kept colliding and crowding.

"Get out of the way, let me go first--!"

"Get out of the way! I got on the boat first, so I'll get off first--!"

"........."

The people were pushing and shoving desperately, regardless of age or gender, everyone wanted to survive, but they started fighting because they couldn't get off the boat.

The lanterns that carried the blessing intentions were knocked over onto the deck as a result of the pushing and shoving. Small flames gradually grew and ignited other lanterns on the ship, and the fire broke out instantly.

The boat was now even more crowded, with people scrambling and trying desperately to get off the boat.

The bells on the ship rang more frequently, even harshly.

In the disorderly shoving, a child who was closer to the boat was pushed to the edge of the boat and fell into the bloody lake.

“Help…Help—!”

The child couldn't swim, and he kept waving his hands around on the lake. Blood soaked his whole body, making him look horrible.

Hearing the child's cry for help, the woman on the boat realized that her child was missing. She ran to the side of the boat towards the fire and shouted loudly, "My child, who can save my child!"

But the dock and the lakeshore were already crowded with people, the voices were so noisy that it was hard to tell who was who. No one cared about the child who fell into the water and the woman who was desperately begging for help.

The people whose bodies were on fire and difficult to put out jumped into the bloody water just to save their lives, and then swam to the shore.

Lin Lezhi wanted to squeeze through, but it was difficult for one person to break through the crazy crowd, and he was even pushed further away from the shore by the crowd.

"Make way, someone fell into the water." Lin Lezhi shouted, but it was of no use.

Xiao Yihuo and his group, as well as Jiang Lian'an, were unable to move forward due to the crowded crowd.

Hong Mingxu was pushed away from Cheng Su by the crowd. Hong Mingxu shouted with an unhappy look on his face: "A bunch of useless things, stop crowding, believe it or not...!"

Hong Mingxu wanted to draw the sword at his waist, but because there were too many people, no one would listen to his command, and the sword was pushed back just half an inch after it was pulled out.

In a panic, Xiao Yihuo said, "Yun He, get away from the crowd first." His eyes looked at the ships that were lined up in an orderly manner on the lake, ready to set sail.

Liu Yunhe understood what Xiao Yihuo meant, and he forced his way through from one side. Lin Lezhi also turned around and followed the path created by Xiao Yihuo and others, pulling Guan Ziheng out of the crowded crowd and arriving at the lakeside.

As soon as he left the crowded crowd, the child was exhausted and sank into the lake.

At the critical moment, a figure jumped into the lake before anyone could see who it was.

Some people went to rescue the children, but a few people did not dare to jump into the water and were trapped on the boat by the fire. Seeing this, Xiao Yihuo and Jiang Lian'an did not think twice and jumped to the roof of the boat. They stepped onto the burning boat and Liu Yunhe followed closely behind.

Lin Lezhi knew that he couldn't get there as fast as Xiao Yihuo and the others, but there was an important thing that needed someone to do.

Seeing this, Guan Ziheng said in a panic with a trembling voice: "Le...Le Zhi, someone has gone to rescue them, let's leave here quickly."

Lin Lezhi quickly grabbed Guan Ziheng and said seriously, "Ziheng, we can't leave now. We have to drive the two ships closest to the dock away!"

There was no time to put out the fire, and it had already spread to the dock. If left unchecked, the ships docked on both sides of the dock would soon be ignited, causing a bigger fire.

"Lezhi, the trip to Lake Island is obviously a trap. If you get involved in it, you will definitely get into trouble!"

Lin Lezhi looked at Guan Ziheng seriously and said, "Ziheng, the fire not only burned the ships, but also the straw that the people relied on for their livelihood. Someone must do this!"

"..." Lin Lezhi's words slightly shook Guan Ziheng's desire to escape. Fierce fire swayed in Guan Ziheng's eyes. Finally, Guan Ziheng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists at his sides, and responded briefly and seriously: "Okay!"

At the same time, Xiao Yihuo and the other two also boarded the boat and evacuated with the students closest to them.

Xiao Yihuo jumped onto the boat and grabbed the panicked woman, preparing to take her away from the burning fishing boat.

But the woman did not cooperate. She held onto the boat with one hand and desperately grasped Xiao Yihuo with the other blood-stained hand, shouting at the top of her lungs: "My child...my child, please save my child, I beg you!"

"Go down first. Someone has already gone to rescue your child. It's very dangerous here."

"But my child didn't come up!" said the woman in despair.

Xiao Yihuo looked towards the lake, a hint of worry rising in his eyes. The people who had gone down to rescue people had not come up yet, but there was no time to lose on the boat.

Just as Xiao Yihuo was considering whether to knock the woman out first, ripples began to appear on the blood-stained surface of the lake.

The person who had just jumped into the lake to save someone emerged from the water holding the child who had choked.

At this time, Hong Mingxu, who had just squeezed out of the crowd, recognized the person in the lake. He pushed away the people beside him, ran to the lake anxiously, and stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Su up.

Cheng Su swam to the lake, handed the child to Hong Mingxu, wiped the blood off his face and said, "Don't worry about me, go put out the fire first!"

"Yes, General!" Hong Mingxu picked up the unconscious child who had choked on water, turned around and shouted to the crowd with all his strength: "All soldiers, listen to my order, put out the fire quickly--!"

Seeing her child being rescued from the water, the woman finally felt relieved. However, because she was extremely nervous, she fainted after she relaxed.

The ship burned and began to break apart in the middle.

At the last moment before the boat broke apart, Xiao Yihuo picked up the woman, jumped onto the boat that was about to leave the dock, and then placed the woman steadily on the deck of the boat.

Upon hearing the military order, the soldiers immediately took fire-fighting tools from the shore, filled them with water and went to put out the fire.

The outer paper of the lantern hanging at the cabin door fell off, revealing the bell inside. Two black and white cloth strips were tied under the bell, floating in the heat wave.

A large amount of gold, silver and jewelry fell out from the broken part of the fishing boat, and a broken hand could be seen from the crack.

An old hand, like a dead branch, covered with brown spots.
