The old man smiled bitterly twice and said, "Although I escaped with my life, I was also scared half to death." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 I later found out that my back, legs, and shoulders were still scratched several times by the crocodile's pointed teeth, and the blood was flowing, so I quickly tore off my clothes and bandaged the wounds. Then I crept out from behind the rocks to see what was going on, and found that the boat had drifted to my position, but it was mostly sunk, and there were few people left on the river except for blood and stumps and broken arms. Only a few people could swim to the banks on either side, and they all hid behind trees or fled far away, just like me. The crocodile was still biting at the people who had not swam ashore on the surface of the river, and swallowed them one by one, and I was so frightened that I quickly crouched in the grass and did not dare to look, for fear that the crocodile would find out about me and rush up and bite me. ”

Xuan'er said hurriedly, "Then what are you waiting there for?" ”

"I've heard that crocodiles can come ashore, what if it finds out about me catching up? Besides, I'm exhausted from that terrible experience, and I still have the strength to run. ”

Xuan'er nodded and said, "That's what I said, what about later?"

"Later, I finally had the courage to peek out again and see that there were no bodies on the surface of the river, and they had all drifted downstream. The crocodile was gone, and we could see a few companions in the distance probing their brains, and then we greeted each other, and then we gathered together, and discussed for a long time, and after not seeing the crocodile, we dared to look down the river, but we did not find anyone who survived. We went to Xuzhou Yamen to report to the official, only to know that the big crocodile had bitten people to death more than once, this has happened many times before, the government organized officers and soldiers to strangle, but the crocodile's scale armor is very hard, ordinary bows and arrows can not hurt it at all. Ask the fisherman to catch it with a fishing net, and when it is stirred slightly, the net will be torn to pieces. The nets made of wire were all bitten by it, so the local government couldn't do anything about the big crocodile. - I thought this time was the closest I was to Hades, but I didn't expect that this time I was hit in the head by a hailstone, and I almost met Hades. If it weren't for the lord's help, I would definitely die this time, so in comparison, I think this time is much more dangerous than the last disaster. That time it was God who helped, and this time it was the lord who helped, and I had to meet a nobleman to pick up an old life. ”

Xuan'er listened to him babbling and didn't interrupt him, but secretly wondered in her heart, it turned out that there was such a powerful monster in Xuzhou, and even the officers and soldiers couldn't do anything about him, so I had to go and see. Presumably, there were also court reports to my father before, but I couldn't interfere in political affairs, so I didn't know.

After he made up his mind, he said a few more words and left. Back in the house, quietly waiting for Yang Xianmao to finish.

It took Yang Xianmao two days and two nights to complete all the operations on more than 30 injured people. A few died of their injuries before they could wait for surgery, but there was nothing they could do.

After Yang Xianmao's level was raised to level six, not sleeping for two days and two nights was nothing big for him, and he didn't even need to take the Yuan Qi Pill to recover his energy. His energy was not greatly damaged, so he still got off the operating table and returned to the house, Xuan'er saw her like this, quickly beckoned him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then sat next to him with his cheeks.

Yang Xianmao took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Say, what's the matter?"

Xuan'er grinned and said, "How did you know that I was going to talk to you?"

"What's so bad about that, you haven't been so nice to me before, and you made me a cup of tea, so attentive, there must be something wrong, right? ”

Xuan'er rolled her eyes and said: "Okay, in fact, it's not a big deal, I want to discuss with you, we have almost played in this area, or let's go to the north to visit, such as Xuzhou, I heard that there are many places of interest in Xuzhou, it must be wrong to go there to see it, you say yes?"

Xuan'er didn't tell Yang Xianmao about the terrifying crocodile in Xuzhou, because she was afraid that Yang Xianmao would not want to go to Xuzhou if something went wrong, so she simply concealed it and waited until she got there.

Yang Xianmao didn't know that there was a big crocodile in Xuzhou, and said with some curiosity: "Xuzhou? Didn't we pass by last time, and we saw that Xuzhou demon Li Xu used demon methods to harm people." ”

"That's not all, we didn't go into the city at the time, we just passed by outside the city. Not counting. Now I still want to go there, you can take me there!

Xuan'er began to be coquettish. Yang Xianmao had no choice but to say: "Okay, anyway, I'm looking for a doctor in the world, it's the same everywhere, if you want to go to Xuzhou, let's go to Xuzhou." ”

Princess Xuan'er's eyes rolled a few more times and said, "This time we will go secretly." Those Liao Dynasty monks must not have gone far, so they didn't want to follow us. We're in the open and they're in the dark, and that's very dangerous, so it's better for us to go quietly and secretly, so that they don't find out, don't go there with great fanfare, it's better to disguise ourselves and avoid their tracking. ”

The reason why Xuan'er made such a suggestion was that if she arrived in Xuzhou as a princess, the Xuzhou government would definitely focus on protection, but I was afraid that she would not be allowed to go to the river to see the terrible monster, so wouldn't it be in vain to do so?

Of course, Yang Xianmao didn't think that she was fighting this idea, and thought that it was really to avoid the enemies of the white-haired old woman who infiltrated the Liao Dynasty, and felt that what she said made some sense, so he nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

However, Yang Xianmao can't leave this stall and take her to Xuzhou now, and she must heal all the people injured in the hail disaster before she can set off. It took half a month, and I saw that most of the injured had recovered, and the rest was to recuperate.

On this day, Yamen received a report from the imperial court on the recent battle against Liao. Wang Zhizhou immediately reported to Yang Xianmao.

The imperial court notice said that Yang Ye took the Yang generals, under the command of the marshal Pan Mei, to break the Liao army at Yanmen Pass and kill tens of thousands of Liao troops. In this battle, Yang Ye won the title of "Yang Invincible".

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but feel uplifted. The Yang family will finally exert his might. It's a pity that I can't go to the front line in person, and after reading the battle report, I can't help but feel excited when I remembered the past when I led the army to kill the enemy in the Battle of Mancheng and the Battle of Kannan.

However, this was only a brief moment, and soon he regained his composure, preferring to go around the world to save people rather than kill people. The feeling of saving people often gives him a sense of accomplishment even more than fighting on the front line.

Yang Xianmao prescribed medicine to most of the patients who had recovered, gave a doctor's order, told them to take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and then left Shouzhou with Princess Xuan'er and Snake Fairy Gu to say goodbye.

Wang Zhizhou will soon enter Beijing to take up his post, and he will leave after waiting for the new Zhizhou to take over. On the night before Yang Xianmao and their departure, Wang Zhizhou set up a banquet, and the officials and squires in the yamen participated in the farewell, everyone expressed their hearts, but Yang Xianmao refused all. At this time, he no longer cares about money, and if he takes it, he will leave a handle, which is not necessary.

Yang Xianmao's resolute refusal to accept gifts made Wang Zhizhou and others even more admired. The next morning, when Yang Xianmao and they set off, many people in the city came out to say goodbye on both sides of the road, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking Yang Xianmao for the early warning that saved their lives, which of course Wang Zhizhou told the people in the city, the reason why they were able to avoid this huge hailstorm was the result of Yang Xianmao's previous warning. In addition, the families of those patients who were treated by Yang Xianmao were even more grateful. If you have to show your heart when you take local products or vegetables and fruits grown at home. Yang Xianmao was not polite to these invaluable things, and thanked them one by one.

After drinking the practice wine, under the farewell of thousands of people, Yang Xianmao took Princess Xuan'er and the snake fairy Gu north to Xuzhou.

At this time, it was already the middle of summer.

The rain continued along the way, and the further north it was, the more rain there was, when it rained lightly, Yang Xianmao and Xuan'er also rode donkeys with umbrellas, and rushed forward along the post road, but after the rain became heavier and heavier, Yang Xianmao had to hire two carriages, he and Xuan'er sat on one, and the snake fairy aunt took one, and led the Chiyang donkey behind the carriage and went by carriage, so as not to be drenched in soup.

On the way, they crossed several rivers and saw that the water was so swollen that the muddy flood was like a wild beast, and the ferry fare for crossing the river had increased several times. The boatman said that in the midst of such a big storm and flood, it would be a great risk, and of course the ferry fee would have to increase.

Of course, Yang Xianmao didn't care about this money, and besides, what the boat owner said made sense, so they paid it. When I crossed the river, I looked down from the boat and saw the turbid current, and from time to time large trees and wooden blocks were washed down, which made people's hearts tremble.

Looking at the rolling flood, Xuan'er whispered to Yang Xianmao: "That demon Li Xu said that there will be a monstrous flood this year, which will flood all the mountains in the world, and all people will die, I watched the flood so big this year, it won't be that the demon is right?"

Yang Xianmao said: "Don't believe him, there must be such a flood every year, and even such a flood wants to submerge the entire mountain range? So don't let the little flood scare you. ”

Hearing Yang Xianmao's words, Xuan'er was relieved. It was the first time she had seen such a flood. It's no wonder that she had been growing up in the palace before that, and the flood was of course a little scary to her.

Later, when she crossed a few rivers and encountered a bigger flood, Xuan'er also felt accustomed to it and was not surprised. Because Yang Xianmao said that such floods occur every summer, which is a normal phenomenon, there is no longer any fuss.

Although Xuan'er was not nervous, it was Yang Xianmao's turn to feel nervous.

Because Yang Xianmao found that the closer to Xuzhou, the more rain there became, and the flood in the river was obviously larger than the rivers they had crossed before, so although Yang Xianmao said it easily, he was actually a little worried in his stomach.

On this day, they finally came to the Baigou River outside Xuzhou City.
