monster he just wants to be a good guy

I'm fine.

The water is not deep, but very turbid.The continuous torrential rain in the past few days has washed away the river bank, and billows of sand and sand are rushing down the river.

The monster was clearly interested in their warm legs.

Lu Man couldn't see the scene in the water clearly, but he could feel the monsters circling around his calf.Cold and greasy scales scraped against the skin one after another.

Slowly, bursts of itching came.The monster was trying to bite the skin on their legs, and the scent of blood hidden under the thin layer of skin made them extremely excited.

Zheng Qingmiao was as tall as a mountain, motionless, as if she was calmly waiting for something.But from Lu Man's perspective, he could see the goosebumps on Zheng Qingmiao's neck.

Before the itching turned into pain, there was a "plop" sound from a distance, and a scarlet blood flower exploded.The cold touch on the side of the leg left quickly.

The next moment, in the bloody water in the distance, countless gleaming mouths opened and closed.The monsters scrambled for each other, their scales splashed, and blood-stained arrow clusters rose and fell.

Zheng Qingmiao picked up Lu Man, who was still watching the excitement, and ran to the shore as if fleeing for his life.

On the shore, Zhang Qingyan drew a full bow with a compressed blood bag tied to the arrow.She aimed at the river in the distance, and the arrow was ready to go.

"Don't move around." Zheng Qingmiao didn't forget to warn, and changed to a more convenient running position.

Lu Man was carried on his shoulders, the world was turned upside down, and a few traces of blood rolled up in the river flowing in front of his eyes.Zheng Qingmiao walked too fast, the soles of his feet were worn away by the sharp sand and stones on the river bed, and blood oozed out little by little.

The arrowhead that was submerged in the water was gnawed away in an instant, leaving no iron filings behind.

"Putong——" "Putong——" Zhang Qingyan shot two blood arrows in succession, exploding water splashes in the distance, most of the monsters were lured to swim further away, but a small number of monsters still turned their tails , chose the direction of Zheng Qingmiao and the others.

Zheng Qingmiao heard the sound of splashing water behind her getting closer and closer, so she didn't dare to turn her head, and waded desperately towards the river bank.

Zhang Qingyan's face was cold, her brows were slightly frowned, she didn't dare to continue bleeding arrows near them, lest they would attract back a large number of monsters that had gone away.

She stood a little closer, took out three extremely sharp arrows from the quiver, took a deep breath, got rid of distracting thoughts, drew the bow to the fullest, and shot towards the school of fish chasing them.

The arrow sank deep into the scales of the fish, dark red blood spread in the water, and the rhythm of the fish school was disrupted for a moment.A few injured monsters fell behind, but the remaining monsters were stimulated even more fiercely and continued to move forward with a murderous look.

Lu Man, who was carried on his shoulders, watched the group of monsters like meat choppers cut through the water like arrows, and the fine jagged teeth kept enlarging and enlarging before his eyes.

At this time, Zheng Qingmiao could even hear the piercing click of the fish monster's teeth clenching together, and feel the eager waves caused by the fish's fins beating the water, and they were still tens of meters away from the land.Zheng Qingmiao knew in her heart that her legs were doomed.

He gritted his teeth, and growled towards the shore: "Catch!" Zhang Qingyan dropped the bow, opened her hands to catch the object, and then her eyes widened suddenly, with a frightened expression on her face.

Lu Man somehow slipped out of Zheng Qingmiao's hand, and happened to be standing in the water surrounded by fish!

Zheng Qingmiao didn't know what happened, she was touching her shoulder with her other hand, and was about to throw Lu Man out, but in the end, she missed it.

Hey, where is Lu Man?Didn't he still carry it just now?

He was stunned for a second, his first reaction was that he ran too fast and accidentally knocked Lu Man over.

Zheng Qingmiao looked back subconsciously, her head was not fully turned, and the sky was spinning.

The cold wind was blowing his hair, his calf was covered with goosebumps, and the wound on the sole of his foot was aching from the wind.Zheng Qingmiao didn't realize that he had left the water.He just felt like he was riding the wind, and the scenery on both sides was blurred.

"Why are you still standing there? Come down soon!"

Zhang Qingyan's voice came over, sounding a little anxious.

Zheng Qingmiao was still floating, unable to recover.

"What's coming down? Why are you here?" He was a little puzzled and looked at her blankly.

"How long are you going to stay in Lu Manhuai?"

Zheng Qingmiao already realized that she had reached the shore at some point.Hey, who is in whose arms?Looking up, he and Lu Man looked at each other with big eyes.

He found that his hand was tightly clutching the skirt of Lu Man's chest, and Lu Man hugged him horizontally.

The 1.8-meter-tall strong man is curled up in the arms of a 15-year-old boy.

Lu Man's expression was relaxed, and his hands were steady. He was holding a [-]-pound man in his arms, but he didn't seem to be struggling at all.

Zheng Qingmiao jumped out of Lu Man's arms as if waking up from a dream, her face was flushed red, and she couldn't figure out how this happened. He wanted to throw Lu Man into the place just a second ago. On the shore, Lu Man carried her back safely to the shore in the next second.

"Xiao Man, you're hurt!" Zhang Qingyan's usually calm face finally cracked, she bit her lower lip and anxiously searched in her bag.

Zheng Qingmiao's face froze, and she saw that Lu Man's two trouser legs below the knees had been bitten into tatters, and the trousers were soaked in blood and stained red.

"I'm fine..." Seeing that they were all nervous, Lu Man tried to comfort them, but no one answered him.Everyone is busy with their own things.

Zheng Qingmiao kept Lu Man's legs relatively still as much as possible, carefully lifted Lu Man up, and let him sit on the big rock next to him.

Zhang Qingyan had already dug out all the emergency knives, tweezers, disinfectant and hemostatic bandages.

They surrounded them and half knelt on the ground.Zhang Qingyan wanted to lift up Lu Man's trouser legs, but was held down by Lu Man.

"You don't need to..." Lu Man was calm when he was chased by the strange fish before, but now his expression changed.

"Don't be afraid! It won't hurt very much. Your sister Qingyan's skills are good, and she is usually in charge of emergency treatment in our team."

Zheng Qingmiao thought that Lu Man was afraid, so she patted the boy on the shoulder lightly.Zhang Qingyan then wanted to pull up her trouser legs, but Lu Man held on firmly.

"I'm not afraid... just leave this little injury alone, it will heal by itself."

"How can you leave it alone? Most of the monster's teeth and claws are poisonous. If you don't treat them properly, the wound will become infected and fester and eventually die. Let go of your hand, and I will lighten it. It won't hurt you." Zhang Qingyan patiently explained, like Soft-spoken like a child.

"I'm fine! If I can walk and run, you'll know after I walk for a while."

Lu Man wanted to stand up as he spoke, but was pushed back by two people with one hand.

"Don't move!" The two shouted in unison.

Zheng Qingmiao and Zhang Qingyan looked at each other and decided to take sanctions against Lu Man who was unusually uncooperative.

It took Zheng Qingmiao a little effort to hold Lu Man's two hands. Zhang Qingyan cut a hole along the rag with scissors to expand the space of the trouser legs, so as to prevent the rough cloth from touching the wound and further rubbing off the fragile skin. Flesh.

Then, slowly and carefully, she rolled it up.

The trouser legs were turned up little by little, Zhang Qingyan held cotton with tweezers in her right hand and was about to press the wound to stop the bleeding, but it was useless after waiting for a long time.

The tattered trouser legs were pushed up to the top of the knee, and the calf was white and smooth, without even a small cut.

Reluctantly, she began to flip the other pant leg.

The right leg was better than the left leg, and there was a very shallow wound, but before she could put the cotton on it, it healed in a second.

"Uh..." There was an eerie silence among the three of them.

"I'm really fine, why don't you believe me."

Lu Man broke free from Zheng Qingmiao's restraint like a young man from a good family who was plundered, and hurriedly put down the trouser legs on both sides, with a somewhat helpless tone.

"If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell us. Don't be brave." Zhang Qingyan didn't say much, but just told Lu Man a few words.

Zheng Qingmiao was confused when she was concerned just now, but now she thinks about it.He grabbed Lu Man and saw that Lu Man was still wearing tattered trousers, his bare legs were shivering in the cold wind. He swallowed what he wanted to say, but in the end he only uttered two simple words:

"Thank you."

"Brother Qingmiao, why are you being so polite? They are all from the same village, it should be, and I'm recovering quickly, so this injury is not a problem."

After all, he has strong self-healing ability. If someone must be injured, it will be better if he is injured, isn't it?

Lu Man's eyebrows were crooked, and he smiled heartlessly.

Looking at his smiling face, Zheng Qingmiao didn't know what was going on in her mind. The eye department was slightly hot, and she clenched her fists.

Several of the strange fish that chased them just now have chased them to the shoal, and each one is as big as an arm. The place where they should have eyeballs is empty, and the cracked mouth extends to the eye socket, and most of the fish's face is gleaming with cold light His mouth and teeth were occupied.

They have been stranded on the shallows for quite a while, their gills are still opening and closing vigorously, and they will thump desperately when they feel someone approaching, and their fangs click and click, as if they want to bite their legs off.

They went back to the place where the last mark was and took a closer look. The mark was indeed pointing in the direction of the opposite bank of the river, and there were no other marks nearby.Uncle Lu and the others must have crossed the river.

These fish monsters should not have been there when Uncle Lu and the others passed by before. It is estimated that they rushed here from the upstream along the flood in the past two days.

But the river course is no longer suitable for walking.

Zheng Qingmiao tentatively threw a stone far into the river, countless mouths popped up, and gnawed the stone clean in the blink of an eye.

Time passed quietly, the sun gradually set in the west, and no one said that they wanted to go back.

Zheng Qingmiao pointed to the upper reaches of the river, saying that he was going there to explore the way, maybe there might be clues, maybe he would come back before sunset.

Lu Man also said: "I want to walk over there alone."

He pointed down the river.

The river flows quietly, and the end is unknown.

But looking along the direction of the flow, the spire is looming in the dust.

No one objected to Lu Man acting alone, after all, he had already demonstrated enough ability before.

"Then I'll wait here for you to come back. Be careful." Zheng Qingyan decided to stay where she was.

The three of them agreed that the time would be limited to sunset, and if they found nothing before sunset, they would go back to the original place and find a place to camp and rest, and make plans tomorrow.

Lu Man moved forward along the embankment, running from small steps to fast leaps.

The rushing speed of the river gradually failed to catch up with his footsteps, and he was left far behind.

The banks gradually become wider and the river becomes clearer.

Lu Man didn't know how far he ran, but the top of the tower was still looming at the end of his vision, making one wonder if it was just an unreachable dream.

Suddenly, he slowed down.

In the distance, something huge stood by the river.

Lu Man held his breath and quietly observed the behemoth.

It is very quiet, straddling the water without making a sound.The water flowing under its feet is leisurely and slow, and the fine river sand shines golden in the setting sun.

"What is that?" Lu Man had never seen such a thing before, he asked Xiao Ai in his heart.

"Report to the master—"

"That's a bridge."
