Bai Qingzhou swung hard, and a carp as long as an arm was pulled up from the lake by a thin line. The movement made the lake surface sway slightly, causing a small ripple.
"Oh, this one is so big!" Bai Qingzhou looked happy. He pulled back his wrist and pulled the fishing rod back. He stretched out his hand to free the big carp from the hook, and then threw it into the fish basket again.
At this moment, the small fish basket already had seven or eight fish flapping around in it.
A lot of harvest.
And just when Bai Qingzhou was about to tie the bait on the hook again, he suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from the distance.
Bai Qingzhou stopped his movements, moved his ears slightly, and listened carefully.
"Huh? This is a cry for help!"
A faint cry for help came from a distance. Bai Qingzhou immediately looked towards the source of the sound, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to observe.
Unlike ordinary people, his far-sighted vision instantly captured the place where the sound originated.
"Help! Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
I saw a man lying on the edge of a low mountain cliff, shouting at the top of his lungs, and in the lake below him, there was a man waving his hands around and struggling desperately.
At first glance, it was obvious that the two of them accidentally slipped and fell into the lake on the edge of the cliff.
Bai Qingzhou shifted his gaze slightly and found that there was no one around them. No one noticed that anyone was drowning here.
Seeing this, Bai Qingzhou no longer hesitated, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and shot out from the shore like an arrow.
"call out!"
The extremely fast speed created waves on the lake, causing the fish in the lake to flee in panic.
The distance between the two is only more than ten miles. At Bai Qingzhou's speed, it only takes less than forty breaths to reach them.
But before he arrived, Bai Qingzhou saw the scholar standing up with a determined look on his face, as if he was about to jump off the cliff to save others.
Seeing this, Bai Qingzhou hurriedly used his spiritual energy to shout: "Don't be anxious, wait for me to come."
A voice mixed with spiritual energy rang in the scholar's ears. The loudness of the voice instantly shocked him on the spot and raised his head to look up.
While he was talking, Bai Qingzhou also flew here, and his appearance immediately shocked the scholar. He stared blankly at Bai Qingzhou floating in the air, and even his calls for help stopped.
Bai Qingzhou didn't care about his reaction, but looked down into the lake. But with just one glance, he discovered that there was a black shadow several feet long in the lake!
"Uh, what is this?!"
Bai Qingzhou was alert for a moment, but before he could see the black shadow clearly, the black shadow flew towards the bottom of the lake at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared within a few breaths.
Seeing it running away, Bai Qingzhou relaxed slightly, but he couldn't help but secretly thought: "Could it be a monster in the water? Is it related to this person falling into the water?"
Although he had doubts in his mind, Bai Qingzhou didn't think too much, but immediately lowered his body and got closer to the person who fell into the water.
This is a young woman in her twenties, with a beautiful appearance, but she has fallen into the lake and does not know how to swim. She has drunk a lot of water, and her face is pale and she looks very panicked.
Bai Qingzhou stretched out his right hand, grabbed the young woman's collar directly, then pulled her upwards and lifted her up from the lake.
Seeing that she was rescued, the woman clutched Bai Qingzhou's arm tightly as if holding a life-saving straw. Her face was still flustered, and she obviously had not recovered yet.
Bai Qingzhou carried her and flew slowly towards the cliff, her wet clothes dripping water continuously onto the lake.
Gently placing her on the ground, Bai Qingzhou said gently: "Okay, don't panic, it's fine now."
The young scholar who was shouting at the edge of the cliff before had also reacted at this moment. He immediately bowed his head and shouted excitedly: "Immortal! Immortal! Thank you, Immortal, for saving my wife's life!"
The woman who fell into the water immediately woke up when she heard the scholar's words. She quickly knelt down and stammered: "Slave, slave... there are many, thank you immortal for saving your life!"
Bai Qingzhou put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "Why are you so careless? You can still fall into the lake."
The young scholar replied excitedly: "Reply to the Immortal, my wife and I came here to sketch and paint, but I didn't expect that when I was painting, my wife slipped and accidentally fell, so I shouted for help. Fortunately,
There is an immortal passing by here, otherwise my wife..." At the end of the sentence, he choked on his words.
Bai Qingzhou smiled and said, "I just saw that you wanted to jump down to save your wife. Are you good at water?"
The young scholar shook his head and said: "Xiaosheng has not been able to swim since he was a child."
Bai Qingzhou said: "You don't know how to swim, and you want to jump down to save your wife? You have to know that if both of you don't know how to swim, they will both die if you fall into the lake."
The young scholar replied seriously: "My wife and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and we have treated each other with respect since we became husband and wife. Now that I see my wife in danger, how can I just let it go? Even if I die, I will save her!"
When the woman who fell into the water heard this, she looked at the scholar with affectionate eyes and murmured: "Husband..."
When Bai Qingzhou heard this, he felt a different kind of emotion in his heart. After a pause, he nodded slightly and said, "You must be an infatuated man to have such an idea."
Bai Qingzhou looked down and found that the easel was still messy and upside down on the ground. The easel was also pressing a piece of rice paper. When Bai Qingzhou's spiritual energy moved, the rice paper slowly flew into his hand.
Taking a closer look, I found that what was painted on the rice paper was an ink painting, which was the landscape of this place. The portrait was lifelike, and the layers of rendering added a lot of charm. If you look closely, you can see that there is still a bit of ethereal air. It's just in the middle.
There is a thick line of black ink that is a bit conspicuous, apparently it was accidentally smeared when the easel fell down.
Seeing his happiness, Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but praise: "Your painting ability is pretty good. This painting is actually a bit fairy-like, and the unexpected addition of black ink in the middle has a different charm. Yes, it's really good."
The young scholar said respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, Master Immortal. My craftsmanship is not exquisite enough, but Master Immortal saved the lives of my husband and I. If Master Immortal likes this painting, then I would like to give this painting to you to express my gratitude."
Bai Qingzhou really liked this painting, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome."
Then he thought about it again, and with a thought, he took out a black brush in his hand, "I bought this thing at random. I am destined to see you today and accept your painting, so I will also give you a brush."
"
This writing brush was an ordinary thing that Bai Qingzhou bought when he was wandering around the market. Although it does not contain spiritual energy, it is still considered a rare thing in the ordinary world.
After hearing this, the couple bowed their heads again and said with trembling voices: "Thank you, Master Immortal!"
"You're welcome, let's see you again in the future!" After saying that, Bai Qingzhou moved and flew out at an extremely fast speed.
The couple still faced Bai Qingzhou's back and knelt down for a long time.
