"I say, little brother, you really do jump. Quickly pull my milk, I'll pull you up!" The boatman anxiously shouted at Li Xian'er's floating figure.

The passengers were all talking at once.

"Is there something wrong with that kid's mind? I think there's something wrong with him since he's in the cabin."

"Aiyo, could it be because of that joke I told you?"

"You're still young, what's there to jump into?"

"..."

Looking at the gradually fading Li Xian'er, the boatman shook his head and muttered to himself, "Sigh … this little brother is really stubborn!" He continued shaking the milk.

Even if the water was good, it was still possible to swim back to the Ding Family Col. However, once she reached the ground, she would be exhausted to the point of death, not to mention that Li Xian'er was not very good at swimming, she was just a young girl, she was weak and weak, she even choked on a few mouthfuls of water, her physical strength gradually decreased, the more anxious she became, the more she choked on water, her body became heavier. Gradually, Li Xian'er found it difficult to breathe, she struggled with her last bit of strength, but her body began to sink down helplessly, and her consciousness also started to blur.

It was already dusk, and there were no boats on the river anymore.

The full moon sprinkled the silver light onto the surface of the water. The unperturbed river water gradually rippled and a white figure stepped into the water, dreamlike and illusory …

A powerful force spread from the outside to the inside of his body in an instant. That power contained softness, domineering yet gentle.

"Wa!" Li Xian'er spat out a large mouthful of saliva. "Cough! Cough! Cough!" She began to cough violently. Her vision gradually became clear and her consciousness began to recover.

A bonfire was burning fiercely, and the firewood was crackling non-stop. There was a wooden frame next to the bonfire, and clothes were hanging on it.

"These clothes, uh... "He looks familiar …" Li Xian'er looked at it and suddenly stood up. Her face paled as she said, "Isn't that the clothes in my bag?"

"Don't move, sit down! Your aura is still very chaotic. " Li Xian'er suddenly turned her head and saw an exceptionally handsome youth in white clothing sitting behind her. This gaze caused her to lose focus, and looking at his face, she could forget about the endless pain in the world. Listening to his voice could melt the endless desolation in her heart.

The youth saw that she was staring at him in a daze, so he used his hand to rub his face. Puzzled, he asked: "Little brother, which part is it that's uncomfortable, or is there something on my face?"

Hearing him address her as "little brother", Li Xian'er's uneasy heart calmed down. It was obvious that the other party didn't know of her true identity. Although her heart was at peace, for some reason, she couldn't speak.

"Ah …" No no... Nothing... "But …"

Li Xian'er hurriedly turned her head, embarrassed. Her heart was beating wildly; her anger was even more chaotic, and her face was burning.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Li Xian'er was the first to break the silence.

"Did you save me?"

"Yes."

"Don't know …" Lord Benefactor's name is so great? " Li Xian'er gently rubbed the hem of her clothes.

"I do not dare to claim my name. My name is Yu Wuhen."

Li Xian'er's heart was filled with joy: "So his name was Yu Wu Hen, what a nice name."

In order to exchange a few more words with him, Li Xian'er's mind was racing:

"Mm …" That... I, I have a wooden box in my bag, I don't know, uh... Benefactor, have you seen this before? "

she asked hesitantly.

"From the looks of it, I'm a few years older than you. You don't need to call me benefactor and just call me big brother." As Yu Wuhen spoke, he picked up a wooden box and asked, "Is it this rosewood?"

Li Xian'er replied without turning her head: "En."

He carefully examined the wooden box in his hand. From the moment he saw the wooden box, he vaguely felt that he had seen this box before. However, he was unable to recall where he had seen this box before, so he asked, "Little brother, how did you get this wooden box?"

"My, my dad passed it to me."

"May I ask who your father is?"

"My father is dead." At this point, Li Xian'er couldn't help but feel sad.

Inadvertently asking about other people's sorrows, Yu Wuhen felt sorry for them and did not ask any further.

After a brief moment of silence, Yu Wuhen took the initiative to speak. He looked at Li Xian'er and asked, "Oh right, how may I address you, little brother?"

"Little... This little brother's surname is Li, and my name is Xiaoxian. This is a tael of silver. Even though it is a little lacking, it is still something that I am grateful for. I hope that you can accept it. " Li Xian'er lowered her head and took out some silver from her waist, and without looking back, she handed it over.

Seeing her bashful look, Yu Wu Hen felt that this little brother was being too shy, and laughed: "To be righteous is something that all of us martial artists should do, how can there be a reward, little brother should keep this silver for future use."

Hearing his words, Li Xian'er had no choice but to keep the silver and asked, "I wonder where Big Brother Yu will go next?"

Yu Wu Hen pondered for a moment and said, "We need to head north for a while."

Hearing this, Li Xian'er turned around and said to Yu Wu Hen excitedly:

"What a coincidence, I also …"

He suddenly swallowed the rest of his words.

"Brother Xiao Xian, are you going to the north as well?" Yu Wu Hen said, "Now that's great, there's someone else to talk to on the way."

"Ugh …" I... "I …" Li Xian'er turned around and changed the topic, "I suddenly remembered that I still have other things to do, so I can't go with Big Brother for the time being."

Yu Wu Hen smiled, stood up and walked in front of Li Xian'er, "Your little brother seems to be very strange. Are you planning on continuing to talk with your back to me?"

When Li Xian'er saw him standing right in front of her, she became even more flustered. Her face also became even hotter as she lowered her head even more. "This …" Before he could finish his words, a gust of air rushed into his throat, causing him to start coughing all of a sudden.

"Your breath is still very chaotic, hurry up and sit down. I'll help you rest a bit more." Yu Wu Hen patted Li Xian'er's shoulder.

Yu Wu Hen exhaled slightly, and then placed his palms on her back. A warm feeling flowed into her body, and this feeling of comfort was something she had never felt before. Gradually, sleepiness came over her, as she slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep …

When Li Xian'er woke up, it was already early in the morning. She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She discovered that her body was covered with a white robe and by her side was a knotted bag. "This robe …" As she looked up, she saw Yu Wushang standing by the river with his hands behind his back, the morning sun enveloping him in a golden outline. The morning breeze caressed his clothes, dancing and causing Li Xian'er to lose focus, she suddenly had a thought to stop the flow of time, this kind of feeling was extremely subtle, she was unable to explain it clearly.

At dawn, when they parted, she stroked that white robe in her hands as she silently approached Yu Wuhen. She felt both sad and reluctant to part ways.

"Brother Yu, thank you for your clothes." Li Xian'er returned the clothes in her hands to Yu Wu Hen.

Yu Wuhen smiled as he took the clothes and draped it over his body. The morning glow illuminated his face in a golden-red color. His handsome face seemed to have gained a bit of vitality.

"Big Brother, we …" If we were, if we were fated, we would … See you later? " With such a short sentence, Li Xian'er stuttered for a long time before finishing her sentence. She was originally very eloquent, but for some reason, she couldn't even speak properly.

"Yes, that's right. If fate wills it, we will definitely meet again."

Yu Wu Hen looked at Li Xian'er, his gaze resolute and gentle. Li Xian'er's emotions flowed, and she quickly escaped his gaze. Yu Wuhen had never seen such a shy boy before and found it very interesting. He strongly patted Li Xian'er on the shoulder and said, "Little brother Xiaoxian, take care. We will part ways here." With that, he turned and left.

Li Xian'er foolishly looked at Yu Wu Hen's back. Although she didn't know where he would end up, she could still accompany him for a period of time. But what was the use of that? When they arrived at Liu Zichao's place, they would still have to part ways with him. It would be better to not be together from the start rather than to suffer as long as it was painful. Perhaps in a few days, she would have forgotten about him?

Although Li Xian'er thought this way, she didn't know why, but her heart felt awkward. For a moment, loneliness, melancholy, loss, and loneliness all surged out, intertwining with each other in her heart.
