Chu Xiao, who was inside the house, heard Yan Sanmei's panicked voice and stood up and ran out. Naturally, Lu Zhicheng followed him out.

After leaving the yard, Chu Xiao supported the panting Yan Sanmei and said, "Don't panic, don't panic. Tell me slowly what happened to Sanmei."

Yan Sanmei was shocked and frightened, and almost cried: "Brother Xiao, there is a woman hanging under the big willow tree just upstream. She is motionless and looks like she is dead. I didn't dare to get close to her. Please ask my eldest brother to report to the police."

Chu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. He thought something had happened to his third sister, but it seemed that the little girl was also very scared: "Don't be afraid, I'll go and take a look, you go back to the room first."

Yan Sanmei shook her head: "I'll go too. My laundry basin is still over there."

Chu Xiao was speechless. He was so scared that he wanted to cry, but he actually remembered the laundry basin.

"Xiao brother, point out a location and I'll go take a look first." When Lu Zhicheng heard that someone had died, he was an official after all, so he couldn't just ignore it.

"I'll take you there." Chu Xiao said as he quickly ran to the river. He knew the big willow tree that Yan Sanmei mentioned. It was where Yan Zhennan caught two big fish last time.

The roots of the big willow tree grow half on the shore and half in the water. There is mud under the tree, and big fish like to hide under it.

It is very likely that someone floated down from upstream and got hung on the roots of the willow tree.

You don't need to look for her specifically. When you get to the river, you can see a woman in red lying in the river, her lower body caught on the roots of a tree, and her whole body swaying with the water flow.

Lu Zhicheng threw the sword at his waist to his subordinate who followed him, rushed into the river quickly, and dragged the man to the shore.

When the people were dragged ashore, Chu Xiao could see the woman's face clearly. His eyes widened in shock. Half a month ago, this person would still smile and praise him, but now she was lying there motionless.

"Lu Chengxue." Chu Xiao walked over quickly, squatted down and checked her breathing and heartbeat. They seemed to be there and not there, as if she was not dead yet.

"No breathing." Lu Zhicheng was also squatting nearby. He had just checked and found out that this person had been in the water for an unknown amount of time. He might have died a long time ago.

"Everyone turn around." Chu Xiao ignored Lu Zhicheng's words and went to untie Lu Xue's clothes after giving the instructions. When the men saw this, they all turned around collectively.

Chu Xiao took off her coat, then placed his right hand on her chest and his left hand directly on the big willow tree. He used himself as a conductor to transfer the vitality into Lu Chengxue's body at the fastest speed.

Chu Xiao withdrew his hand only after he felt his subordinate's heartbeat gradually recover. He felt dazed. It had been a long time since he had used his mental power like this. He had exhausted all his mental power for someone he had only met once.

Chu Xiao was a little confused. This was not like his principle. According to the apocalyptic rule, if a person does not work for himself, he will die. If he shows pity to others, he will die. If he trusts others too easily, he will die.

But now he seems unable to do any of them.

"Xiao brother." Yan Zhenshen followed Yan Sanmei over. In front of him was a row of straight men. He didn't see his husband, so he called out anxiously.

Lu Zhicheng didn't dare to look back, and stretched out his hand to signal Yan Zhenshen to stop: "Brother Yan, please wait a moment, Brother Chu is fine, he is..."

Lu Zhicheng had no idea what Chu Xiao was doing. There was no sound behind him, but he couldn't turn around to check.

However, no one stopped Yan Sanmei. She walked past the men and saw Chu Xiao leaning weakly against the willow tree. The big willow tree, which had originally been lush and leafy, seemed to have withered and yellowed in an instant, and the leaves were scattered all over the ground.

The woman who had just been pulled out of the water had her top half-undressed and her chest seemed to be moving with her breathing. She was not dead.

Yan Sanmei was shocked for a moment, then quickly walked over to support Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao endured the headache and said to his third sister: "Fix Miss Lu's clothes first."

Yan Sanmei turned around to tidy up the woman's clothes, and Chu Xiao also stood up with all his strength, saying, "Uncle, take her back to my house, let her take a hot bath, and ask a doctor to take a look."

Lu Yicheng turned around in disbelief, first glanced at Chu Xiao, whose face was pale, then looked at the woman in red. Her face was still pale, and he couldn't see any difference from before.

"What are you..."

Before he could figure out what was going on, Yan Zhenshen ran over, picked up her husband by the waist, and without even looking at anyone else, strode towards home.

As soon as they left, they heard a cough behind them.

"Cough cough cough..."

The already quiet riverside became even quieter at this moment. All the burly men held their breath and looked at the woman who was coughing violently in disbelief, wondering if they could really encounter a ghost in broad daylight.

Then the woman opened her eyes and looked at the sky blankly, followed by another heart-wrenching cough accompanied by dry retching sounds.

Yan Sanmei didn't have the time to follow her eldest brother just now, so she watched the woman wake up from the closest distance. To be honest, she was really scared before, after all, she had never seen a dead person.

But now she is not afraid at all. If Brother Xiao says that the person is alive, then he must be alive.

Yan Sanmei squatted beside the woman and stroked her back, muttering, "It's okay, you'll be fine once you wake up."

Lu Zhicheng felt like his jaw was about to dislocate with shock. He was the one who fished this man out of the river. He had clearly checked and found that he was not breathing, so how come he... woke up?

Lu Chengxue was still coughing and shivering at the same time. Lu Yicheng wanted to take off his coat and put it on the girl, but when he touched himself, he found that he was wet from inside to outside.

"What are you standing there for? Take off some clothes and put them on the girl."

As soon as these words were spoken, several men untied their belts at the same time, then looked at each other and stopped.

Lu Zhicheng is having a headache. Who chose the people for him and why did they get these four idiots?

The third sister couldn't stand it any longer and shouted anxiously, "Why are you still standing there? Brother Xiao said to take the person back home and soak him in hot water, and to ask a doctor to take a look. You are just standing there like this, are you planning to let me take him back?"

The four men didn't move. Lu Zhicheng kept scanning them with his eyes. The four men looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but not at him.

He didn't mind asking Lu Zhicheng to go into the river to fish out a corpse, but it would be a bit embarrassing for him to hug a girl.

But when the situation developed to this point, the distinction between men and women had to be thrown aside. He sighed, bent down and picked the man up, and did not forget to kick each of his four men on the buttocks, cursing: "You cowards, you deserve not to be able to marry a wife."

One of them was dissatisfied: "Deputy General, don't you have a wife too?"

Lu Zhicheng: "..."
