Chapter 177

"This... how can there be people hiding in the river?" The village chief wondered.

"That means you haven't searched in the river?" Jixuan asked.

The village chief nodded.

"Can you take me to the river where the clothes are washed?" Jixuan asked softly.

Jixuan said, the village head is naturally fine, and Ye Fei's tomb has been placed at this time, and the group of people naturally went down the northwest slope.

The river where the women wash their clothes is three or four miles south of the village. It is called the Duanliu River. The river is wide and deep, and it connects several villages. Seven or eight years ago, because of the old incident, people were panicked for a while. .

But the only thing that can wash clothes is the river, so even if people are panicked, it is impossible for people not to wash their clothes.

After the accident, a group of women mostly went to wash clothes together, and there were no more disappearances, and the river was still the clothes washing place.

It was winter, the river was freezing cold, and it was the slack season, and the clothes were not as dirty as they were during the busy farming season.

Naturally, there were no people by the broken river.

There are more wetland plants growing on the river bank, but because Huanyi District is often visited by people, it can be considered a human habitation, so even if there are some wetland plants, they are probably not in places that can block people's view.

"This is it." The village chief whispered.

Hearing this, Ji Xuan approached the wetland again.

The village chief asked in a low voice, "Are we going to go into the water? But the weather is so cold now, we have to weigh it when we go into the water to save people. I'm afraid we will drown in the water if we go to the river."

Ji Xuan cast him a comforting look, "No problem."

Then he took out a white porcelain bottle and poured out only a transparent ball like a small dewdrop.He held the ball under his tongue, and then said, "I have water-repelling beads here. With water-repelling beads, going down the river is no different from flat land. Who wants to go down with me."

"I'll go down with you." Xie Yunhuai was the first to respond.

Jixuan was not surprised, he handed Xie Yunhuai a ball.He didn't say anything to Xie Yunhuai, he just watched Xie Yunhuai press the ball under his lips silently, as if he knew how to use the ball.

Xie Yun went down with all his arms, and Xu Xu naturally became the second person to go down, "I...I'll go down and look for it too."

Ji Xuan also gave Xu Xu a water-proof bead.The water-repellent drop is very elastic, and it looks like it can be crushed with one hand.

Seeing that Xuxu has been kneading the water-proof bead, Jixuan said, "Don't crush it, the water-proof bead will be useless if you pinch it."

"Can this thing really avoid water?" Xu Xu asked softly, uncertainly.

Ji Xuan nodded.

But before Xu Xu finished his mouth, he reminded again, "Don't swallow it, the water drops should be under your lips."

Xu Xu stuck out her tongue and said, "Fortunately, you told me how to use it, otherwise I would have eaten it."

Then Xuxu thought that Jixuan didn't seem to tell Nian Sheng how to use it, so she looked nervously at Nian Sheng again, "Nian Sheng, did you swallow it?"

"No." Xie Yun looked at Ji Xuan thoughtfully.

The other people who came over saw that Xu Xu, a girl, could go into the water, so naturally they couldn't be more cowardly.

They all begged with Jixuan to avoid water drops.

When they reached the bank of the river, Xu Xu was somewhat worried.

Xie Yunhuai seemed to see her fear, and just whispered to her, "You don't have to be afraid. If you are really scared, just hold my hand and go down together."

After hearing Nian Sheng's words, Xu Xu felt that she could really get some psychological comfort.He took the initiative to hold Nian Sheng's hand.

The first person to jump was Jixuan. He stepped on the bluestone board and walked towards the water. The water slowly enveloped Jixuan's whole body.

Soon Ji Xuan disappeared, leaving only ripples on the surface of the water.

However, the water of this broken river is very clear, everyone can see that Jixuan is very quiet in the process of sinking.He could even wave at them to signal them to come down.
