Chapter 40: Peerless Reliance

Xu Chun recalled the scene on the island ten years ago.

He and his second brother finally found a small island in a small boat, but a large ship sailed over in the distance, looking at the appearance of the island ship that attacked them.

The second brother urged him to go to the island, but he refused, but he was kicked to the shore by the second brother.

But my second brother was paddling a boat and getting further and further away from the island.

He has never seen him again.

Many years later, he regretted not swimming over and catching up with the boat for many years. Maybe the second brother would not die together?

How similar was the scene just now?

He doesn't want to leave any regrets in his heart.

Fang Yuanzhi originally thought there was nothing ahead, and it should be a turbulent river like before, with river banks on both sides.

After floating out a few miles, Fang Yuanzhi realized that she was too naive.

You can see the end of the river ahead.

Is there a waterfall ahead, and it will fall directly?

Fang Yuanzhi's heart was almost in her throat.

Fortunately, she tore her coat into cloth strips and reinforced the bamboo raft for a while. It shouldn't fall down and fall to pieces, right?

I wonder how high the waterfall is?

Fang Yuanzhi had only had time to look back and fell downstream with the bamboo raft.

But she wasn't too scared, and there was Xu Chun following behind her!

Lie on the logs and drifting along the water, the noble and casual temperament of the noble young man was gone.

She even had some funny thoughts.

Fang Yuanzhi tied her hands and feet to the bamboo raft. Perhaps because of the rising water level, she didn't hit any stone. She just made a splash on her body when she fell into the water and felt a pain.

After floating a distance from the waterfall, Fang Yuanzhi discovered that this was another vast ocean.

Fortunately, the river flow rate has become much slower.

Fang Yuanzhi untied her hands and feet, found a wooden stick from the water, and supported the bamboo pole and tried to go down the waterfall.

It's still a bit difficult to go up against the current.

Fortunately, not long after, she saw Xu Chun fluttering in the water.

Fang Yuanyuanzhi shouted while slashing towards Xu Chun.

Xu Chun finally got on the bamboo raft. While sitting down to rest and gasping, Fang Yuanzhi simply sat down. The two of them sat back to back, and the bamboo raft went down the water.

She squeezed out a smile: "Your name is really not Bai Qi, it's so stupid. You have to go into the water after you get ashore..."

Xu Chun gasped and said, "You are not much stronger, you are still showing off..."

Fang Yuanzhi responded with a elbow.

Xu Chun took a deep breath and cursed: "Crazy woman!"

Fang Yuanzhi turned around in surprise: "Is it hurt? I'll show you?"

Her elbow was not strong enough, so it was not the case.

It seems that Xu Chun's back is injured.

But it's useless to see her now. She lacks medical treatment and medicine, so there is nothing she can do.

Xu Chun's voice lowered: "No."

Both of them were speechless.

After all this tossing, both of them had already been wet and felt a little uncomfortable when they stuck to their bodies.

The oily clothes that Fang Yuanzhi wore yesterday gave to the child in the cold night. Because the outer clothes were torn into a cloth strip to tie up bamboo rafts, she was only wearing the middle clothes, which made her look even more embarrassed.

They didn't sleep all night and didn't eat, both of them were tired and hungry. Fortunately, they had practiced Kung Fu, had a good foundation, and could hold on.

Fang Yuanzhi looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "Do you know where we are now?"

"It should be near Taihu Lake." Xu Chun's voice was a little hoarse and low, and he sounded like he was not in much better condition.

The sky is getting darker and the wind is getting stronger.

It seems that it is going to rain again.

"Raining in Taihu Lake should sound like a beautiful thing. Now it's so embarrassing."

Fang Yuanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "It is common for life to have happiness in suffering."

Soon, heavy rain poured down, and the biting cold rain slapped on her body. Fang Yuanzhi couldn't help but tremble.

Xu Chun is not much better either.

In order to minimize the area of ​​being beaten by the rain, the two had to join together to keep warm. Fang Yuanzhi even tied the two people's feet to the bamboo raft so that they would not be beaten to the bottom of the water by the wind and rain.

I don’t know how long it took, but the wind and rain finally became smaller.

Fang Yuanzhi was pressing against Xu Chun tightly, and she couldn't help but tremble. She had to drill into Xu Chun's arms. Only the chests between the two of them could feel a slight warmth.

She was so cold.

Fang Yuanzhi looked at the darker and darker sky, and knew that it was going to be night again. There was still endless water surface around her. This time, there was not even enough garbage floating on the water surface.

Fang Yuanzhi was still a little scared deep in her heart. She asked while trembling, "Will we... die here?"

Xu Chun's face turned pale, his expression was serious, his lips were closed, and he spit out two words after a while: "No."

He remembered that he and his second brother were drifting on the sea, with endless sea surfaces, no rescue, only pursuers.

Their ships were attacked by pirates, and the ships were severely damaged and sank into the sea.

The 24-year-old second brother took him to escape from the sea, who was fourteen.

The two brothers escaped in a small boat.

The blue sky and blue sea are beautiful, but there is no food. The scorching sun makes their skin soaked by the sea quickly peel off.

He also asked: "Will we die here?"

The second brother cheered him up: "No, we still have to go back to marry a wife and have children. Yunniang is waiting for me on Yuhu Island. You will also marry in the future and have many grandchildren for your mother..."

He can't die here, he wants to fulfill his second brother's last wish and give birth to many grandchildren for his mother. How can he die easily in the flood?

The two of them were drifting on the vast dark water surface in a bamboo raft, hungry and cold, not knowing the direction.

The next day when it was dark, they found that the water surface seemed to be getting shallower and the water flow rate slowed down a lot.

Finally escaped?

After floating in the bamboo raft for a while, in a shallow water area near the shore, the two simply got off the bamboo raft and walked up the shore. After running in the water for two nights and a day, Fang Yuanzhi felt a little weak in her legs.

My head was also drowsy and a little hot. It must be because I caught a cold and had a fever.

Mulberry trees are planted in the surrounding fields, and sometimes unsubmerged rice fields are still there.

The two of them searched for a farmer nearby. Xu Chun used a corner of silver to ask for clean clothes, hot soup and hot water. After eating the soup, they washed and changed into clean farmers' clothes.

According to a farmer in his thirties, this place is already Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and is seven or eight miles away from the nearest town.

The farmer took them to the town with a ox cart, and bought two old horses for them before leaving.

It’s not that they don’t want to buy good horses, but the town is too small, so it’s good to find two old horses for sale. Fortunately, Xu Chun has enough money.

The two rode their horses along the official road towards Suzhou Prefecture.

Fang Yuanzhi had a fever, but after eating and changing clothes, she felt a little more comfortable, and followed Xu Chun without leaving.
