Chapter 341 Apprenticeship with Pluto (20)
"Master, I'm back,"
"Well, go back."
The task was completed today and she was going back to sleep.
While it was still dark, Zhou Ye stood up and floated along the lake to the shore. After landing, he randomly took a ferry from the West Sea and floated eastward to his jurisdiction.
The three-headed hellhound collapsed tiredly at Zhou Ye's feet, swaying while sleeping, its long tail sweeping around on the ground, constantly passing through the ankles of the man sitting next to him.
The passenger frowned and looked down at his feet.
He didn't know why, but as soon as he got on the boat, he felt the wind blowing back and forth around his feet.
I stomped my feet, but it still didn't work.
Forget it, let's move to the seat next to him.
This location is so weird, it's so windy.
——
Back in S City, Zhou Ye was just about to return to the underworld when suddenly the dog with its head hanging down at his feet began to bark "bark" in the direction to the left with all his strength.
If it looks like this, it means there are living souls nearby.
Zhou Ye changed direction and followed the dog leash forward.
This is a community, located in the city center, a very prosperous place.
Before Zhou Ye got close, he saw many people gathered around the artificial lake next to the community, pointing into the water.
The three-headed hell dog kept barking over there. Based on the situation here, someone should have fallen into the lake.
This kind of... bah, unexpected. As a conscientious guide, Zhou Ye must go over and take a look.
In order to improve the community environment, a large artificial lake was planned here. The lake was full of lotus plants. In late autumn, only bleak and withered lotus leaf poles were left in the lake. Because of the need to plant lotus, the lake was closed. The ground was covered with a thick layer of mud, enough for one person to be deep.
Grandma, who was standing next to Zhou Ye, began to introduce the facts.
"This lake is very deep. If a child falls in, it might not be easy to fish out." Zhou Ye continued to listen.
"The government has also laid such a thick layer of silt under the lake that adults will sink if they go in!"
The people around who didn’t know the truth continued to listen.
"The young man jumped in just now. He rushed in quickly. It's been almost two minutes, but he hasn't come up yet."
"That man in a white coat, can't he be a doctor from the nearby hospital? Is that little girl a patient who ran away from the hospital?"
Grandma sighed heavily.
"That's right! That girl doll was still wearing a hospital gown. She had no hair and looked pitiful. At first, everyone thought she was standing by the lake watching the scenery, but who knew she jumped in all of a sudden!"
Zhou Ye heard this and turned to look at the lake.
His eyes were dark.
The hellhound at his feet was still barking into the lake. Zhou Ye put down the leash and jumped from the fence without warning.
Originally she could not sink, but the moment she touched the lake water, she appeared in her true human form, and her whole body sank in an instant.
Under the lake, it was cold and pitch black.
Zhou Ye opened her eyes and she could see everything clearly.
Under the lake, a slender figure was slowly sinking.
In his arms, he was holding a small figure.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ye kicked off his feet and quickly slid to the side of the figure. He stretched out his hands and hugged the man's waist. He exerted force on his feet and sent the person in his arms to the lake.
“Wow——!”
There was a sound of water.
A group of people on the shore shouted in surprise, and some shouted and rushed to the steps by the lake, reaching out and grabbing the sleeves of the man who fell into the water.
