The next moment, she felt wet under her body, because the oil lamp in the cabin had fallen when the ship was shaking and had been extinguished by Mrs. Zhao. Now the cabin was dark. She raised her hand and touched it, and found that there was water under her body. Through the lightning that flashed from time to time outside the window, she could vaguely see the scene in the cabin.

Thinking about it, she seemed to have heard someone shouting outside that the boat was going to capsize. She was startled, and then she noticed the constant shaking around her. She thought in disbelief, could she be on a boat at this moment?

More and more water flooded into the cabin, almost covering her body lying on the floor. She couldn't think about it anymore, so she quickly stood up and crawled towards the cabin door.

When she came to the door, she raised her hand and pushed the hatch hard, but she couldn't push it open.

Seeing that the water was getting higher and higher, she panicked. Fortunately, the ship's sinking speed seemed to slow down soon, so she hurriedly held on to the bulkhead and staggered back.

This passenger ship was a high-rise ship with three floors above and three floors below. The cabin she was in was on the second floor above and had a window that could see the outside. However, she didn't know these things. She only knew that there was a window on the other side and the cabin door couldn't be pushed open. She planned to escape through that window.

There is a Xinghua Stream near her home. She once learned how to use Fu Shui from her second brother. The water quality is not bad. As long as she can leave here, she will not be afraid of drowning.

When she came to the window, she picked up a bench and knocked hard several times, finally breaking the diamond window lattice. The water outside rushed in. She speeded up and broke open the broken wood. When she finally cleared the hole that could allow people to enter and exit, the hull of the ship suddenly shook and continued to sink. She grabbed the bench with one hand and used her hands and feet to swim out of the hole she had made.

The river was connected to the outside. She drank several mouthfuls of river water unexpectedly, and her abdomen suddenly felt cramped. She vomited and vomited in the water, and then vomited a lot of filth. After a long while, the pain gradually stopped.

She emerged from the water with a gasp, and grabbed back the bench floating not far away.

I turned back and glanced at the ship behind me. Dark clouds shrouded the sky. In the heavy rain, only a few masts of the capsized ship were still visible on the river.

There were calls for help and wailing from all around, but she really didn't have the strength to save anyone else. She was weakly clinging to the bench, floating up and down in the rolling waves.

The raindrops hitting her body were painful. She hid her face on the long chair and was wondering if she was dreaming. Suddenly, her left foot under the water seemed to be grabbed by something, and her calf tightened.

Thinking about the legend that she had heard when she was young, about the water ghost looking for a substitute, she felt a chill in her heart and kicked her feet desperately, trying to kick off the thing that was holding her.

However, after kicking for a long time, not only could she not get rid of the thing, her other ankle was also caught, which made her turn pale with fright.

"Go away, go away, don't catch me..."

The bank of Huaijiang River.

Not long ago, the heavy rain stopped, the moon broke through the clouds, and the soft clear light spread across the sky and the earth. Han Zhaocai glanced at the unconscious man lying not far away from her.

It was this man who had dragged her feet so hard before that she almost drowned. If she hadn't been playing with her second brother in the Xinghua Stream since she was a child, and the water was always good, he would have almost dragged her into the water.

Her hands and feet were so tired from dragging this man ashore that she could only stay on the shore to rest. She was all wet now. Fortunately, the weather was midsummer, otherwise she would probably freeze to death here.

Seeing that the man was still unconscious, she simply took off her clothes, wrung out the water, and touched the thin and soft material in surprise. This kind of silk material probably cost a lot of money.

The fact that she was actually wearing such a good dress made her more and more certain that she must be dreaming at the moment, but this dream was really realistic, even the colic that had been tossing her to death before, and the hunger at this moment were so vivid.

After putting on the wrung-out clothes and resting for a while, she looked up and looked around. It was dark all around, but luckily it was a full moon tonight. With the moonlight, she walked towards the forest not far away, hoping to find some wild fruits to eat.

Her shoes had been lost when she was in the water. She took off her wet socks and stepped on the wet mud with her bare feet.

The village where she lived was close to a mountain. When she was a child, she often followed her second brother to play on the mountain. Sometimes she would play wildly and go down the mountain after sunset. So being in this wilderness now, although she felt a little uneasy, she was not too panicked, especially when she thought that she was in a dream.

But she still didn't dare to go too far. After discovering two lychee trees, she found a branch and cut down a few bunches of lychees.These lychees grew in the wild, and no one took care of or fertilized them. The fruits were small, sour and astringent, but she was so hungry now that she didn't mind. She ate more than a dozen lychees in a row, and then she quelled her hunger slightly. Then she picked down two more bunches of lychees and took them home.

When she came back, she found that the man was awake, staring at her with a pair of eyes like cold stars, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

"Your savior."

The man was startled, and his tone softened a bit, "The passenger ship capsized earlier, was it the girl who saved me?"

Even though the full moon was hanging high at the moment, it was not as bright as the sun. He could only vaguely see her outline, but could not see her appearance clearly.

"That's right." Han Zhaocai didn't say that she had to save him because he held on to her feet. No matter what, it was always a fact that she saved him.

Lu Wanfeng cupped his hands and thanked her, "Thank you girl for saving my life."

Han Zhaocai handed him a bunch of lychees and said, "You must be hungry. I found some lychees nearby. You can eat some first to fill your stomach."

Lu Wanfeng raised his hand and took the bunch of lychees, thanked him, and peeled off an entrance. The sour taste made him frown and refused to eat the second one.

Seeing him throwing the remaining lychees aside and not eating anymore, Han Zhaocai asked in confusion: "Aren't you hungry?"

"This lychee is so sour that it's hard to swallow." Although he was hungry, he couldn't bear such rough food, so he would rather endure his hunger than take a second bite.

"It's not delicious, but it can fill your stomach at least." She advised kindly.

"You can eat it if you want." He returned the remaining lychees to her.

After taking back the lychees, Han Zhaocai didn't try to persuade him anymore. He just muttered, "You are always picky, just don't eat them. I'll eat them myself. It's not easy to pick these lychees. I don't think so."

When Lu Wanfeng heard this, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to argue a few words, but he didn't say the last word.

There were differences between men and women, and he was alone. He couldn't rest with Han Zhaocai, so he found a sheltered place nearby, took off his wet clothes and hung them to dry, planning to find a way to leave at dawn.

The passenger ship capsized and could not return to Suyuncheng as scheduled. My father and grandmother were afraid that they would be worried. He would have to rush back as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

Han Zhaocai also found a big rock to lean against, peeling off the lychees and eating them. The sour flesh made her squint her eyes, and murmured to herself, "The sour taste is just like reality. It doesn't look like a dream at all."

"Ah—"

Chapter 1(2)

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Wanfeng was awakened by a scream. He opened his eyes. After a moment of surprise, he remembered what happened last night. He quickly stood up, picked up the clothes hanging nearby and put them on in a hurry. He was worried that something had happened to the girl, so he hurried after the scream.

Arriving at the riverside, the rough river surface last night has now calmed down.Han Zhaocai squatted by the river in a daze, with a shocked expression on his face as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared at his reflection on the river with his eyes wide open.

"What happened?" Lu Wanfeng stepped forward and asked.

"I, I..." She raised her hand and touched her cheek, her face filled with disbelief, "Is this my face?"

"What's wrong with your face?" Under the morning light, he saw clearly that she had a hibiscus face, with bright eyes, and her whole person was pretty and soft. He vaguely felt that she looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her. At this time, her soft pink lips were open, showing a look of confusion, as if she was shocked by something incredible.

"I..." She opened her mouth, too shocked to speak.

This is not her original face. She didn't look like this before, let alone be so pretty. What's going on?Why did she change her face as soon as she woke up?

Wait, everything seems to have started going wrong since she woke up on the ship yesterday. She originally thought she was dreaming, but the passenger ship capsized, she fell into the water, the inexplicable colic, and the sour lychees she ate, each and every one of them seemed real.
