said that after the water slave jumped off the boat with Yin Nuan last night, because the two fell into the water at the same time and the distance was close, she quickly grabbed Yin Nuan. It's just that although she has better water quality, it is not easy to swim to shore with a person in such a turbulent current.

And when Yin Nuan fell into the water, she didn't know where she bumped into it and kept unconscious, the water slave was worried and a little helpless at the same time, fortunately Yin Nuan would not struggle in a coma, otherwise she would not only not be able to save people this time, but would accompany him on the Huangquan Road.

Unable to see anything clearly in the night, the water slave could only follow the current and get as close to the shore as possible before he was completely exhausted. The arm holding Yin Nuan gradually began to numb, and occasionally there were bursts of tingling, I don't know if it was cut by something. As if she had a boulder tied to her body, she bit her lip and swiped mechanically.

finally arrived at the shore, and the water slave took Yin Nuan to the shore half-dragging and half-hugging. Looking back, I saw a vague view of the big ship rocking away in the dim night, and finally disappeared from sight.

The numbness of the whole body turned into soreness at this time, and the water slave fell to the ground, and it was difficult to move his fingers, and his mind was so dizzy that he just wanted to lie down on the spot. It's just no, she bit her lip hard to make herself more sober - Yin Nuan was lying beside her, not making a sound at all, or should she say that she didn't know about life and death, she suddenly felt panicked.

"Gorou-kun?"

The water slave crawled to Yin Nuan's side and stretched out his hand to probe, but fortunately, his snort was long, his pulse was still beating, and he thought that his lungs had not inhaled much water because of fainting before. The big stone in her heart finally let go, and tears rolled down - I don't know when Yin Nuan became her last life-saving straw in this world, if something happened, she really didn't know what else she could do.

"Gorou-kun?"

The water slave called twice, and in such a night, the two of them were soaked again, and it was really not a good sign that they had been unconscious. However, Yin Nuan's eyes were still closed, and there was no response at all. The water slave couldn't see what his situation was now, and he didn't know if he was hurt somewhere, so he could only reach out to his forehead, and the unusual heat made her retract her hand violently.

The nerves that had just been relaxed tightened again, and he didn't care about checking the injuries on his hands, the water slave got up and wanted to carry Yin Nuan to a drier place, but as soon as he got up, his feet fell back to the ground with a soft foot, and he tried hard several times.

A little frustrated, he twisted himself, the water slave thought for a while, took off his coat and put it under his head to Yin Nuan to make him feel as good as possible. Then he stumbled up and found some dry firewood in the night, gathered it in a pile next to Yin Nuan, and then took out the flint and lit it.

Under the shallow firelight, you can see that Yin Nuan's cheeks are red, there is a shallow wound on his forehead, his lips are dry and chapped, and his brows are deeply furrowed because of the fact that he may be very uncomfortable, and he is miserable. His heart softened instantly, and the water slave walked over and sat down beside him, holding his head in his arms, making him feel better and blocking some of the cold wind.

On a late autumn night, the wind blowing from the river carries a bone-chilling chill, adding a bit of coldness through the soaked clothes. The water slave couldn't help but tremble, her head began to dizzy again, she subconsciously hugged the person in her arms tighter, and her consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

"Little lady, little lady?"

Whose voice is hoarse and deep, and has been calling tirelessly in her ear? The water slave opened her eyes helplessly, and the dazzling light made her close her eyes again.

That's right, Gorou-kun!

woke up suddenly, and when he found that the temperature in his arms was still there, the water slave Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little lady?" The hoarse voice in the dream sounded again, and the water slave looked up, but it turned out to be an old man dressed as a fisherman, with a face full of vicissitudes and kind eyes looking at her.

The dry wood had already burned out, the sun came out, and the vision was bright.

"Old man. The water slave said, "Fang is you calling me?"

The old man nodded, "Little lady, why are you here, don't you look good at your face?" and the little Langjun in your arms is obviously also hot. ”

The water slave lowered his head, Yin Nuan's face was the same as last night, and the heat on his body was still high. Worried, the vigilance in her heart receded suddenly, and before she could answer anything else, she looked up at the old man and pleaded:

"Old man, five...... My brother may have contracted typhoid fever, do you know where the nearest doctor is available?"

The old man said: "There is a vast white water around here, where is it! The old man's house is not far away, if you can trust the old lady, send Xiao Langjun to the old man's house to change into dry clothes!"

Yin Nuan was hot, her eyelids moved, and then there was no movement except for her slightly undulating chest. The water slave felt sour in his heart, nodded and said:

"That's it. ”

Putting Yin Nuan aside carefully, the water slave got up and moved his stiff legs, and was about to carry Yin Nuan on his back, when the old man said:

"Xiao Langjun is good to carry it on his back, little lady, you hold the fishing net for the old man, maybe?"

I don't know how far this way is, now my physical condition to carry Yin Nuan is indeed a little reluctant, the water slave is grateful, busy thanking, help the old man put Yin Nuan on his back, and then carry the fishing basket himself, holding the old man's fishing gear and following behind.

The old man glanced back at her, and suddenly exclaimed, "Little lady, your arm is also injured, but does it matter?"

Only then did the water slave check his injury, and saw an inch-long wound on his forearm, the bleeding had stopped after a night, but there was some blood on his sleeve, so it looked a little terrifying. She shook her head and replied to the old man:

"If you don't tighten it, the bleeding has stopped. ”

Seeing that her face was pale, the old man said distressedly: "Although this journey seems far away, you will be there if you persist." ”

The water slave nodded.

Along the way, the old man saw that she was not in good spirits, so he tried to talk to her as much as possible to distract her.

"There is no village in front of the village and no shop here, what happened to the little lady and Xiao Langjun when they were here?"

"Five...... My brother and I took a boat to Jiankang to visit relatives, and in the middle of the night, I encountered a boat robbery, and in a panic, I and my brother fell into the water, and then they were washed here by the current. ”

"Iniquity. The old man said, "Because of this water bandit, the people in this area have always been miserable. Fortunately, God has mercy on you, and you will be spared your brother's life. ”

The water slave nodded yes, in fact, it was indeed a great luck in misfortune to be able to escape death in such a situation last night.

"Old man. The water slave asked, "Can this water rise like this, can you fish?"

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "The little lady is from a noble family, right? If it weren't for the muddy water in the river after the rainstorm, wouldn't you be able to catch these two big fish in the fish basket?"

Only then did the water slave realize that the fish basket on his back had been shaking, and it turned out that it was because it contained fish. I only heard the old man continue:

"It's just right, after I go back, I will boil it into fish soup to replenish your body and Xiao Langjun. ”

When Yin Nuan woke up, the sun was already setting in the west, and the setting sun shone in through the low window, he opened his eyes and looked at the patched tent on the top of the bed, and he didn't know what day it was.

The water slave pushed the door in with a yellowed coarse porcelain bowl, Yin Nuan looked up and saw her, suddenly smiled, and said:

"Sister!"
