"You fellow, do you really not want to reincarnate?"
Ding Maoqin stared at Wu Yun, asking coldly.
Such a good opportunity was right in front of him, yet he didn't even try to find a scapegoat?
Could it be that he planned to stay in Qixia Creek forever?
Wu Yun frowned upon hearing this, wishing to tell him his thoughts on why he acted this way.
But if he spoke of it, it wouldn't work.
Thinking of this, Wu Yun pondered for a moment before sighing, "I am a scholar, I cannot do such things."
Wu Yun wanted to use indirect words to make the other party understand.
However, Ding Maoqin burst into laughter upon hearing this, pointing at Wu Yun with a face full of scorn.
"You've been dead for how many years now, and you still consider yourself a scholar? Have you read yourself silly? Or has the water ruined your brain?"
At this point, his face was already ferocious.
"Wu Yun, I don't care what you do, but whatever you do, don't interfere with me finding a scapegoat!"
With that, Ding Maoqin turned and left directly.
Wu Yun wanted to call out to him, but seeing that he had already swum far away, he sighed and shook his head, watching him depart.
Turning back, he saw the little boy on the bank crying loudly, clearly terrified.
And not far away, the woman was also rushing forward to comfort him, her expression one of lingering fear.
Seeing this, Wu Yun also sighed.
No matter what, at least he prevented this family from experiencing the sorrow of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one.
If such a young child had truly drowned here, the grandparents of this family would probably have fainted from grief.
Thinking of this, Wu Yun turned and swam away.
"Child, are you alright?"
The woman on the bank tightly embraced her child and asked.
Just a moment ago, she was washing clothes upstream, and when she looked up, she saw her child bobbing up and down in the water. That brief moment had terrified her.
Fortunately, her child had returned safely.
The boy in her arms heard her, his face showing a mix of fear and hesitation.
"Mom, just now in the water... it seemed like someone was pushing me to the shore."
As the child said this, his gaze lingered hesitantly on the water.
He had felt like he was going to drown, but then, he felt as if something in the water was pushing him back to the shore.
The woman beside him was also stunned by his words, and then, remembering the scene from earlier, she couldn't help but feel a shiver of horror.
Her child had indeed seemed to be drowning in the water, but then it was as if something had pushed him to the shore.
Now, hearing her child say this, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine.
Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but stumble slightly, completely at a loss.
Seeing the fishermen not far away, the woman quickly got up and walked towards these elders.
Upon reaching them, the woman anxiously recounted what had just happened.
She was worried that her son might have come into contact with something unclean earlier.
The fishermen were also stunned by her words, and then they thought of He Xiuyuan from before.
They weren't entirely clear about the matter, but it seemed He Xiuyuan could understand its meaning.
Thinking of this, one of the fishermen immediately spoke up, "We don't know about this, but you can go find that He Xiucai."
"You don't know, a few days ago we saw that He Xiucai control a bamboo raft to cross the creek; that raft seemed to fly, it was truly miraculous. That scholar is not a Mortal."
"Go ask him, he should be able to resolve this confusion."
Hearing this, the woman, Li, quickly bowed in gratitude, then pulled her child and hurried away.
.......
Evening.
Li brought her husband and child to the outside of He Xiuyuan's courtyard.
It wasn't that she didn't want to come earlier, but her husband had been busy in the fields until now and had just returned home, and he was immediately pulled over.
Accompanying Li were also many common folk from Peach Blossom Town.
These common folk had also heard about the incident at Qixia Creek today and wanted to come watch the excitement.
As for what the fishermen said about He Xiucai being extraordinary, they didn't take it seriously.
It was just some made-up stories by fishermen; such words couldn't be taken seriously.
Thinking of this, the crowd smoothly arrived outside the courtyard.
However, before Li could knock on the door, the surrounding common folk felt a wisp of clear, refreshing wind constantly blowing past them.
As this clear wind brushed against their bodies, they could even feel that all their fatigue from the day was being swept away at that moment.
Upon realizing this, all the common folk present were stunned, their eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.
"Wait, did you feel it? This wind blowing on one's body... it feels so comfortable."
An old man with dark skin beside them suddenly stopped Li and asked the crowd.
There was clearly no wind around, but for some reason, after approaching this courtyard, there were wisps of clear, refreshing wind constantly blowing past.
Such a scene truly filled people with awe.
And the others around them also felt this situation at this time, and they all nodded, their eyes full of surprise.
"We all felt it, and it seems this wind is coming from He Xiucai's courtyard."
Someone noticed that the closer they got to the courtyard, the stronger the wind seemed to be.
There was clearly no wind around the courtyard, so where did the wind inside the courtyard come from?
Seeing this, the common folk couldn't help but look at each other.
And the accompanying fisherman, seeing this, immediately couldn't hold back and stepped forward, saying,
"I, this old man, said before that He Xiucai is not a Mortal, now do you believe it!"
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but gasp, their expressions somewhat grave.
Judging from the current situation, He Xiucai truly wasn't simple!
"But, before, He Xiucai didn't show such extraordinary things?"
The neighbors muttered to themselves upon seeing this.
"What's so strange about that? He Xiucai is someone who has died once. Perhaps because of this, he learned something extraordinary?"
The fisherman immediately said upon hearing this.
The matter of He Xiuyuan drowning in the water before was known to everyone in Peach Blossom Town.
After all, he was a scholar in Peach Blossom Town, and his sudden drowning naturally made people feel that it was heaven's envy of talent.
But who would have thought that He Xiuyuan, after being dead for a few days, suddenly came back to life.
At that time, this matter caused quite a stir.
