Dragon Flies Phoenix Dances, Chapter 13: The Surviving of the Third Master Long's Mistress...
Feng Ning was dominated by the instinct of survival and had great strength. The one who came to save her was gripped by her hands and feet, but he couldn't do anything against the river either way. The two were caught up and rushed down the river. The two floated up and down in the water, and both were pushed and pulled
with the water.
Feng Ning was so frightened that her whole body stiffened and she shouted and screamed, the man was dragged by her and sank into the water, so he had no choice but to push her away, pulling her arms behind her back, bracing her head out of the water, yelling in her ear, "Calm down, don't be afraid, it's me, don't be afraid, I'm here......."
Feng Ning trembled and struggled to see, finally seeing that it was the Third Master Long who came to her rescue, her eyes got hot and she shouted, "Third Master Long, Third Master Long, don't leave me, don't leave me......."
The Third Master Long propped her head up and stared into her eyes, "Don't be afraid, you listen to me, we'll go to shore right away, okay?"
Feng Ning also couldn't tell if her face was watery or if it was the tears, and only called out, "I listen to you, listen to you, don't leave me, don't leave me, I'm afraid of water, I'm afraid....."
The Third Master Long blurted out, "I'm going to let you go now, you don't struggle, you don't have to kick me, you relax, I'm not going to let you sink, do you understand me?" Feng Ning nodded nervously.
Seeing that she seemed to listen, the Third Master Long let go of her arm and floated her in his arms, "Take my shoulder and I'll take you swimming to shore." Feng Ning couldn't help but tremble and clung to his shoulders like a child, not daring to let go in the slightest.
The Third Master Long struggled to hold the two of them steady in the rapids, and he swallowed a lot of water, supporting Feng Ning with one arm, paddling with one arm, pushing hard on both legs, and using his hands and feet, he finally dragged Feng Ning ashore, stiff as a boulder.
The Third Master Long saw her shaking so badly that he had to pull her away from the river, rubbing her back and arms: "It's alright, she's already on the bank, it's alright......."
The two were embarrassed and fell to the shore, and the Third Master Long coughed a few times before finally breathing out. Feng Ning was terribly afraid of water, holding him so tightly that she did not want to let go. The Third Master Long had no choice but to pat her down and wait patiently for her to calm down.
After a while, Feng Ning was still reluctant to let go when two squire-like men ran over and said to the Third Master Long, "Third Master, we could see the person." Feng Ning was shocked and raised her head as the Third Master Long said to her, "It's the one who pushed you down the river and didn't catch up." He turned to the other man and asked, "Where is the slave girl?"
"She sank, could not be saved.” This answer sent Feng Ning's arms into a tight hug before holding the Third Master Long in fear.
The Third Master Long had no choice but to tell one of the guards, "Go back to your home, bring a carriage, and get two sets of clean clothes.” The man led the way, and the Third Master Long had another man start up a fire.
Feng Ning buried her head and said in a small voice to the Third Master Long, "I remember, it's that person."
"What person?" the Third Master Long asks while trying to pull her away and get them both to their feet. But as soon as he moved Feng Ning wrapped her arms around him again: "Don't leave me."
The Third Master Long sat helplessly on the mud floor, holding Feng Ning, who was covered in water and mud and had messy hair, and did not want to imagine what kind of thing he was looking like now.
Feng Ning drowned near death twice and was so frightened that the Third Master Long could only divert her attention and ask once more, "Who did you say?"
"The one who shouted that someone had fallen into the water and lured me over was the one who asked me where my things were the time I hit my head. His voice, I remembered it."
"You saw what he looks like?"
Feng Ning shook her head, and it was another panic to recall the situation of being sunk in the water at that time.
The Third Master Long looked up to see that the sky was already completely dark, and a fire had already been built by one of the guards, the Third Master Long patted Feng Ning: "You let go first, let's sit over there and warm by the fire, so we don't get cold."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ning hurriedly tightened her arms and shook her head in a single motion: "No, don't go, just let the fire come over."
The Third Master Long gritted his teeth darkly, she could still be afraid when she saw a fire. The Third Master Long was so ruthless that he broke free of her restraints with all his strength, untangled her, picked her up horizontally and carried her to the fire. She laughed at the same time: "You're usually as tough as a female worm, you're a waste in the water."
"You haven't tried hitting your head in the water and dying." Feng Ning whispered, hugging the Third Master Long's arm and sitting by the warm fire, finally feeling grounded.
"You're a bunch of weird, not remembering anything, afraid of water, and have a strange appetite, when things are over one day, why don't you take me to the Baiqiao city to have a look at the disease."
"What is that place?"
"It's the famous medical city at the top of the peak, and there are many good great doctors there. The City Lord Nie Chengyan is my best friend and will definitely be able to arrange for you to be cured."
Feng Ning skimmed his mouth, "You have a lot of good friends, there are a few girl confidants there too, right?"
"Yes.”
"Huh." Feng Ning would regain her spirits and start quarrelling, "Then why didn't that best friend of yours, Nie Chengyan, cure you of your romantic affair?"
"I really shouldn't have fished you out.” The Third Master Long patted her forehead: "I'm really asking for trouble."
"Why would he want to kill me?" Speaking of fishing for her, Feng Ning was still afraid in her heart. "Shouldn't he be my accomplice? I remember his voice and that was the day he asked me where the stuff was. If he didn't find it, wouldn't it be even more impossible to find it by killing me?"
"It only goes to show that the threat posed by leaving you behind is more serious than the consequences of not finding something."
"He's afraid I'll turn my back on him, isn't he?" Feng Ning felt the possibility was high: "I must be in possession of his untold secret."
The Third Master Long didn't say a word, rattling off the fire to make it burn more vigorously, and the squire, who saw the fire was okay, left room for them to talk, stealthily going somewhere else.
Feng Ning looked at the Third Master Long's movements and asked, "How did you get here?"
"You've been strange these few days, so I naturally sent someone to keep an eye on your movements. You don't have any friends, and suddenly you received a letter and then saying you're going to bed early is naturally problematic. But when someone came to tell me that you'd run away, I was lucky enough to ask my friend at the city gate and he recognized you, so I thought you'd come here."
Feng Ning bit her lip and still said, ''It's a letter from Xia'er. She whispered to me the day she left that I was not the Third Master Long's Mistress, and today in that letter she asked me to come here again, saying she was going to tell me the truth."
"You're not the Third Master Long's Mistress?" wondered the Third Master Long.
"She did say that, and she told me to run fast."
The Third Master Long narrowed his eyes slightly to examine her expression, "You believe?"
"She was talking so oddly, of course I had to come and hear what was going on." Feng Ning thought, "I didn't expect it to be like this."
"You are not the Third Master Long's Mistress?" the Third Master Long chanted this, staring at Feng Ning.
Feng Ning scratched her face, "Of course you guys won't be able to identify the wrong person, right?" Compared to that Xia'er, she actually preferred to believe the Third Master Long in her heart, and it was really unlikely that she wanted the people in a mansion to lie without revealing their faults.
The Third Master Long gave her a sidelong glance, "You ask that, how can I not recognize my wife?"
Feng Ning "Humph", and said, "What's so strange about that, you don't know many a things about your wife at all anyway, it's possible to forget what she looks like."
"That's true." He deliberately followed her, drawing a glare from Feng Ning. The Third Master Long couldn't help but laugh, and Feng Ning, annoyed, let go of him with a "hmm" and sat away.
It will be cold, there will be no moon, and the shore will only be lit by the fire, Feng Ning sat down and couldn't resist moving towards the Third Master Long: "You think that Xia'er said that to arouse my curiosity and draw me here, right? She wasn't really trying to say I'm not the Third Master Long's Mistress, was she?"
The Third Master Long replied, "You are not disguised, but you are here at the same time, someone is asking you about the whereabouts of your treasures, and you have been entrenched by a maid for this. If you're not Feng Ning, what did he kill you for?"
"It makes sense to say that." Feng Ning twisted her fingers.
The Third Master Long, however, asked again, "What happened to Xia'er is not the point of you hiding it from me, is it?"
Feng Ning bowed his head and didn't speak, mentally muttering annoyingly about what the loser was so smart to do.
The Third Master Long added, "Feng Ning, you are alone here, if you won't say anything, we can't help you, what can you do if there is any more trouble?"
Feng Ning was silent for a long time, and finally whispered back, "I won't be so stupid next time, as long as I don't get close to the water, I should still be able to protect myself."
The Third Master Long's face sank, "So you still don't want to talk?"
Feng Ning got up sadly, "I don't want you to hate me.” The Third Master Long's expression let her know that he was even more disgusted by such a situation, Feng Ning pondered for a while and finally said, "Then promise me that what I did in the past, no matter what, you can't use it to judge me now."
The Third Master Long nodded, and Feng Ning said, "Then wait until you get back to the mansion, I'll show you something."
But Feng Ning Wan didn't expect that the day's shock and surprise didn't end there. Returning to her house with the Third Master Long, she brought him back to her house, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind to be honest: "I found a clue that perhaps the past me really had something to do with the attack on you." She paused and looked at the Third Master Long again for emphasis, "It's the past me oh, not the present one."
She opened the jewelry box while talking, but she didn't expect that the inside of the compartment was actually empty.
Feng Ning was dumbfounded for a moment: ''This, it was obviously right here. I searched half that night and saw those silk ropes in this box, the same ones you showed me."
The Third Master Long understood and said: "You think the murderer had something to do with you? So you were afraid to tell me and want to find out for yourself?"
Feng Ning nodded, "The timing of my dowry maid's death was so coincidental, so I thought she should know something, I saw Xia'er's expression panicked when she saw me, so I tried her out, and as a result, she really had a problem, but I didn't expect it to end up hurting her."
