Chapter 56: Departure

The boat has been gone for a long time, but Yan Shunhua did not move, still staying quietly in the reeds, and even the amplitude of his head has not changed.

Because of the excessive force in the river, her left leg kept pumping as soon as she came ashore, which made her think that she was about to give up.

Luckily, none of them expected that she, a seven-year-old girl, would be able to swim well and that when she made up her mind to jump, she had already set her sights on the reeds as a hiding spot.

Because of their contempt, she managed to get out of the water in a very short time, and climbed ashore with gritted teeth, perfectly hiding herself by the lush reeds and the darkening sky.

It's just that she's not sure if the ship will turn around and catch her off guard, and she doesn't know if anyone will stay just to wait for her to show up and throw herself into the net.

So she lay motionless, even if she was bitten by mosquitoes and there were red spots on her neck and the back of her hands, she still persevered and endured.

She noticed that Zhou Yuping and the others did not get off the boat.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, because Yang Shan of the Cuixiang Pavilion lost five people at once, it can almost be said that he returned empty-handed, so after he went ashore, he complained angrily. And Yang Hong of Qunfang Pavilion also gloated about this, so as soon as he left the ship, he mocked his peers harshly.

Their voices were so sharp that Yan Shunhua, who was lying not far away, could also hear them.

Of course, what made her sure was Lilac's sudden scream, and Zhuxiang's indignant cry of grief and anger.

Yan Shunhua pursed her lips tightly and let time pass bit by bit.

Half an hour later, the ship did not return.

At the moment when the night wind was blowing, she stretched her hands and feet slightly, and was thinking about where to move the rescuers so late, when she suddenly heard the sound of a man cursing in the silent night.

"Little rabbit cub, you have to let Lao Tzu find a few stabs to vent his hatred. ”

"Hmph, a few knives? It's not an exaggeration to cut with a thousand knives! I, Liu Dazhuang, have never suffered such embarrassment since I was a child! Mother, it's obviously a girl's family, but I'm even more daring and cunning than those stinky boys. ”

"How many times have you gone into the water to find it? There are several pairs of bones found, but the girl is gone. Could it be that she really slipped away?"

"Just her body, hmph, it's hard to fly with wings! She must have been swept into some remote crevice, and it's strange that she can really escape. ”

Yan Shunhua listened for a while, and finally heard that the two of them happened to be the caretakers guarding the door, and now they have become unlucky because of her.

She still has a little impression of these two people, they look very young, seventeen or eighteen years old, they should have just joined the gang, and their experience is not sophisticated enough. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been allowed to leave the room with Zhuxiang in a fight, and even ran to the deck, so that she finally managed to escape.

An hour had passed, and the two men were still scrambling in the vicinity, one ventured into the water, the other carrying a torch on the shore, and now little by little began to examine the reeds.

Yan Shunhua smiled bitterly, although they took it lightly just now, but now they have obviously accepted the lesson, and they have a posture of not giving up if they don't dig three feet into the ground.

At the pace at which they were advancing, I am afraid that in another half an hour, they would be able to discover her hiding place.

Although she was in a hurry, she did not leave easily. Now that the wind and waves are calm, as soon as she stands up and walks around, she will reveal her figure, this risk cannot be taken, it is better to wait and see.

It's getting closer.

Through the dense reeds, she could even see the light of the torches flickering in the darkness.

There was a panicked cry suddenly, and the man who went into the water somehow stepped on the tip of the tail of a water snake when he came ashore, and his ankle was quickly bitten, because he was too scared, he fell back into the water.

The person who was originally coming to her hurriedly ran back, but he stepped on the water snake that he thought he had escaped and crawled wildly, and subconsciously jumped away and smashed it with a torch.

The snake was hit and died quickly. Sadly, because the tidal flats were full of water, he used too much force at the last time, and the torch was directly extinguished.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth returned to darkness.

The two scolded and complained to each other, and in the end, the person who was bitten by the snake said that he was going to find a doctor, and the other person was also tired of mosquito bites and didn't want to care, so he made up his mind and left directly.

Yan Shunhua waited for another quarter of an hour before he slowly got up from the reeds and left the reeds with his waist bent.

She didn't know where to go. In the dead of night, in the wilderness, she didn't even know the road, not to mention that now she was covered in mud, dirty, cold and hungry.

She suddenly wanted to laugh at her innocence and recklessness.

This is not the time and space in which she used to live, where she was able to quickly call the police for help after escaping, and was able to enter the city to find friends and family without hindrance.

In this place where even the dynasty has not yet been figured out, a person like her, who cannot figure out the clear address of her home and has no person in her hands who can prove her identity, wants to enter the city openly, and she will definitely be turned away when she is interrogated.

She walked briskly along the main road, spitting on her own assumptions and observing her surroundings.

It's just that the night is dark, let alone the house, and she doesn't even see a little light, except for the starlight overhead, and she is only accompanied by the sound of insects one after another.

Although her body was very tired, Yan Shunhua didn't dare to stop.

Maintaining a rhythmic walk would allow her to withstand some of the cold, not to mention that she had to find someone for help as soon as possible.

She walked tirelessly along the main road, and she didn't know how long it took before she finally came to a place with a good view.

Right in front of her, there were high walls.

She didn't see the fire, she didn't see the human figure.

Yan Shunhua did not step forward, but retreated to a row of trees, walking back and forth slowly.

Her clothes were dry, but her underwear and belly pocket were still wet and sticky, and they were very uncomfortable.

She looked at the sky, and it should be some time before dawn, so she took off her clothes, put the wet ones aside, put on the dried skirt directly, and hung her clothes on a low branch.

Then she continued to pace slowly under the tree, three circles left and three times to the right, and when the drowsiness hit, she pinched her thigh and continued walking.

Since losing contact with the boy, she rarely thinks of him, after all, it is not a good experience when the five senses are shared. But now, she really misses him so much.

"If Shen Zhiyuan is here, he will definitely be able to help, at least what should I do in this situation, he, a native, has a way better than me. She muttered, pinched herself again, and continued to walter in circles.

That kid thought that without his existence, his life would definitely be peaceful and uneventful, but now it seems that there is the same danger as him and him.
