Chapter 18 The vast water

"Miss, Miss, I almost caught a fish!" Chen Lu was so excited that not long after getting on the boat, she started rolling up her sleeves and stretching her hands sideways in the water, trying to catch the fish swimming by the boat.

"I know, but be careful. We have to maintain balance on both sides and don't fall into the water!" Zhou Heng was also amused by her fussing. In the 21st century, this girl who only looks seventeen or eighteen years old

In fact, he is just a high school student, so it is normal to be lively.

"Chen Lu, sit down!" Nanny Huang shouted in a low voice, but Zhou Heng looked at it and found that she had never been on a boat. At first, she carefully held the handle of the chair tightly until she got used to the hull of the boat.

She swayed left and right, just like Chen Lu, looking around with a curious look on her face, so now her words had no deterrent effect. Chen Lu responded casually, her hands still busy in the water.

.

The sun was still quite strong after the Qingming Festival, but there were awnings on the cruise ship and there was wind on the lake. The breeze blew on my face, which made people feel very cool. I looked at the pink and green willows on the lake farther and farther away, and felt the impact underneath.

The four people felt very happy as the waves on the boat board rippled. Even Mu Yan made a rare joke about Chen Lu, who had been persistently trying to catch a live fish in the water:

"Don't worry, no matter how stupid the fish is, it won't run into the hands of a stupid girl like you!"

These words made the other three people burst into laughter, and Chenlu Liumei was so angry that she stared up at Mu Yan, threatening Mu Yan: "Do you believe I will kick you into this lake to be with the fishes?"

"Okay," Mu Yan said that she was not afraid: "Then I will turn into a fish spirit and hide under the water. When you come back and take the boat, clatter! I will overturn the boat and let you fall off.

Go into the water! Silly girl who doesn’t know how to swim, let’s see who will save you then!”

These words... sounded a little scary. Aunt Huang felt that this usually steady girl was probably too happy and was talking nonsense, so she wanted to smooth things over for her. Fortunately, Mu Yan said it again.

:

"But, maybe there is a young and handsome man who happens to come to the lake at this time, so there is a hero saving the beauty! Oh, don't pinch me! And then-"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Heng, who was listening with a smile, suddenly felt the ship's hull shake and quickly grabbed the handle of the chair. As a result, the ship's hull shook violently again, making everyone feel dizzy.

"Oh, boatman, what's going on?" Aunt Huang next to her asked in panic, while Chen Lu and Mu Yan on the opposite side turned around in panic and wanted to tell the boatman sitting behind them holding the boat: "Brother,

Why is the boat so rocking? Be careful!"

After all, Zhou Heng had many experiences of riding on boats, and she could swim, so she didn't panic at all as she grabbed the handle of the chair. Because of this, she could see clearly at this moment, but she saw the bunt in her body.

The powerful boatman suddenly smiled, and then he pulled out the two semi-fixed oars.

In the blink of an eye, he only waved the oar. Zhou Heng didn't even have time to shout a warning before he saw the two maids in front being swept into the water.

What's going on? Zhou Heng was stunned.

Then the instinctive reaction was to rescue the person quickly, so he rushed over and squatted down on the edge of the boat, trying to reach out to Mu Yan on his side.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I felt a sharp pain on my head, and the next step was to find myself falling into the water!

No, what's going on with this boatman? Does he want to drag all four of us into the water? What does he want to do? Zhou Heng felt that his mind was in a state of confusion. He was not just sitting on the boat admiring Liuhu Lake.

Is the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait good? Am I dreaming now?

But my head hurts so much, and Mu Yan, who is struggling next to her, has begun to sink!

Zhou Heng, who was treading water, suddenly trembled: No, no matter whether it is in a dream or not, there must be something wrong with this boatman. He wants to kill the four of us!

Looking at the empty space, only the boatman with his back to him was squatting on the edge of the boat, seemingly using his paddle to deal with Nanny Huang in the water. Zhou Heng quickly looked around. Sure enough, the boatman had chosen a good place.

The nearest boat was also at least 50 meters away by visual inspection, and even the heads and faces of the people inside could not be clearly seen. Moreover, at this time of year, the cruise boats on the lake had curtains half-draped to cover the sun, so they probably did not pay attention to my side.

But no matter what, it was the best choice to seek help from the cruise ship over there. In desperation, Zhou Heng began to swim there with all his strength.

But after swimming for a while, I hesitated and thought of a terrible possibility: Could the people over there be the same group as the boatman?

What if they are a group of people? To be able to commit such a bold and confident crime in broad daylight, it seems that this boatman has no grievances against him.

Then he is definitely not alone!

Moreover, the pain in his head also reminded Zhou Heng that if the people in that boat were his accomplices, if he was hit with such a blow again, he would really die in the water!

Do you want to take the risk?

While he was struggling, he heard a "pop" sound, and it turned out that the boatman not far behind him jumped into the water without saying a word.

No, I must have discovered myself!

After all, I know how to swim. Before the boatman notices it, I just need to swim to the nearest shore. I can no longer ask the nearby boats for help!

He certainly couldn't swim. As long as he didn't see him, the boatman might think he had drowned and stop chasing him.

After making up his mind, Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He looked towards the shore and dived underwater...

Zhou Heng also held her breath during this dive, so that when she could no longer bear it and came up to the surface again to take a breath, she found that she was already a little far away from the murderer's boat, and the lake was a vast expanse of water, with no trace of water.

I saw the boatman and no other boats.

It seems like all the ships have disappeared!

While continuing to swim, I tried to think hard. This boatman dared to commit such a murder in broad daylight. He must have been ordered by someone. Not to mention who wanted to deal with the daughter of the uncle, who would be Princess Jing in the future, but one thing is at least certain now:

The person behind this is definitely not an ordinary person.

So, if I go back to the original lake, will I be discovered by the people waiting there?

This risk may be greater than asking a nearby cruise ship for help just now.

"I saw it before on Tianxiang Tower. This Liuhu Lake is actually a river." Zhou Heng forced himself to calm down: "Then, if I swim along the shore where I got on the boat before, can I also find a better place?

A safe place to go ashore?”

You can't have a huge lake full of people to deal with you, right? The sun is shining now, and the shore is crowded with tourists when you get on the boat. This possibility is very small.

Then try to swim to a non-scenic river and find a secluded place to go ashore.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Heng took another deep breath, secretly congratulating himself on his good habit of swimming two thousand meters every week. Although he felt like he had a terrible headache, he could only keep swimming forward in order to survive.

After diving down, rising up, and breathing again and again, Zhou Heng felt that his arms were getting heavier and heavier, his head was getting more and more painful, and he was becoming more and more uncontrollable about sinking. It seemed that there was only one thing left in the vast world.

Endless water...
