217 backwater
The matter of Chen Cang finally ended completely after the epidemic was brought under control.
Xi Ning personally went to Shijia to thank him.
The young lady of the Shi family, Ning, was a little surprised, but she still received Xi Ning gently.
On that day, the woman didn't know that His Royal Highness Lu Dao was a noble person of Huaxu, but after listening to the movement outside, she immediately sent a letter to her family. Ben also doesn't want good people to be wronged, His Royal Highness doesn't punish us for being disrespectful, it's forgiving, and it's really unnecessary to thank you. Ning Xiaoshu smiled gently, quite apprehensive.
Xi Ning looked at the beautiful and feminine woman in front of her with a gentle expression: "You don't have to be restrained, we Huaxu don't have such big rules." Even if he is classified as Emperor Huaxu, he still has to go to tens of thousands of households on weekdays to understand the lives of the people. Morally, you can choose to help or not to help. But if you help, I must thank you, this is the proper courtesy. β
Ning Xiaoshu excused himself a few more words before accepting the things sent by Xi Ning.
"In fact, your family is not lacking anything, I will send a few ancient inkstones and a few ingots of good ink, that is, a sign, I wish Shi Gongzi will go to high school as soon as possible." Xi Ning said sincerely.
After Xi Ning left, Ning Xiaoshu couldn't help but sigh to her husband: "What an extraordinary woman, she is in charge of a country's major affairs at a young age, but she is still so arrogant and unassuming!" β
"People are trained through experience." He took his wife's hand and went to the study to discuss his knowledge.
Xi Ning sat in the carriage, a little drowsy.
The weather was as hot as ever, and after a few heavy rains, it was even more humid and hot, and even holding ice cubes in his hands could not solve the hot flashes of the dead man.
Xu Ziyu and they couldn't stand it: "It's better to come out and walk around, it's still better for Hua Xu." When did Huaxu have such hot weather? β
"It's better for you to take precautions, now there is a barrier in the West Sea, and there is the Dragon King Ao Yan. One day, Hua Xu will also have the same climate as the Western Regions, and you will probably die of heat. It's okay to exercise now. Xi Ning criticized mercilessly.
Xu Ziyu waved his hand: "Even if that day comes, you are more worried than me, and you can't stand the heat, not only me, but few people in the entire Huaxu can stand it!" β
As he was speaking, Qingying said, "Your Highness." There was news from the front that the Yellow River had burst its banks. β
Xi Ning frowned: "Go to the high ground on both sides first, and then find a way to see if you can make a detour." β
How can it be so coincidental that the embankment is bursting now? I'm afraid it's Mo Xuan's hands and feet again!
Xi Ning stood on the rugged mountain ground beside him. Looking at the increasingly fierce water in front of him: "Is it often raining here during this time?" β
"It seems that otherwise, even if someone deliberately bursts the levee, there will not be such a big water potential." Xia Yichen's expression was serious.
"You think it's deliberate, too?" Xi Ning asked.
Xia Yichen clenched the Qinghong Sword in his hand: "I didn't mean it, how could it be so coincidental." Mo Xuan's remaining strength is really extraordinary! β
As soon as the words fell. Behind them appeared the men in black who were raiding.
Xi Ning turned around and sneered: "I feel like I'm a target, I can hit wherever I go!" β
Xia Yichen was a little more worried: "They want to force us into the torrent ahead!" β
Xi Ning was startled, but she didn't have time to think about countermeasures, and several sharp arrows shot at her.
Xia Yichen's right hand lightly hung out of the sword, and quickly blocked the sharp arrow.
"Mo Xuan is really not afraid of my death, who will sacrifice the sword when I die!" Xi Ning couldn't help but scold.
"He's just trying to keep the others at bay!" Xia Yichen confronted a man in black.
Xi Ning cursed again and began to add internal force to them.
This time it was obviously much more difficult than the last time. In particular, the water ahead continues to rise, and has spread into a wave dragon.
Xu Ziyu waved his sword and muttered in his heart: At this time, I want to be able to invite the Dragon King of the West Sea to come forward. That's all right.
Unfortunately not.
But obviously, Mo Xuan's target this time was not Xi Ning, but Xia Yichen.
Therefore, Xia Yichen was besieged by nine people, even if he had Xining plus internal strength, he gradually lost his support.
"Xi Ning, you want to find a way to leave, they are not targeting you!" A big hole was cut on Xia Yichen's back, and blood mixed with sweat flowed down.
Xi Ning freed up a hand to stabilize the injury on his back, and said hatefully: "Nonsense! Don't you understand the tiger from the mountain! β
However, Xia Yichen was unable to resist the joint attack of the men in black because he lacked half of Xi Ning's internal strength, and fell down directly, about to be engulfed by the ferocious flood.
Seeing this, Xi Ning exclaimed in surprise, and froze an ice barrier upstream and downstream of the place where Xia Yichen fell, preventing him from being swept away by the torrent, and then jumped into this temporary pool himself, trying to pull him to a safe place on the other side.
It's just that Mo Xuan's people can't let them go so easily?
Seeing that the water in the middle section of the river was calm, several black-clothed people also jumped down one after another to make a great contribution.
Xi Ning pulled Xia Yichen with one hand and unsealed the two ice barriers with the other. She watched the black-clothed people who jumped off suddenly swept into the flood whirlpool, and then pulled Xia Yichen to be swept hundreds of meters by such a ferocious torrent before grabbing a big tree that was uprooted by the torrent.
Xia Yichen gritted his teeth: "You don't plan to keep rushing like this, right?" β
Xi Ning denied: "Of course not, when those people die, I will freeze the river, and we will go ashore!" β
Xia Yichen saw a wave coming, turned around sharply to protect Xi Ning, and endured the sharp pain of the stone hitting his shoulder.
"Xia Yichen, Xia Yichen, how are you!" Xi Ning couldn't care so much at the moment, so he directly blocked the river and half-dragged him to the shore and the high ground.
A man in black chased after him from the water.
Seeing this, Xi Ning grabbed the light sword on Xia Yichen's body, attached a purple electric light and threw it over, electrocuting the man in black.
She secretly sighed - at the beginning, she had no power to bind the chicken and didn't know how to do magic, and when she encountered this situation, she would die.
People, at critical moments, they have to rely on themselves, and diligent cultivation is the most realistic!
"Xia Yichen, Xia Yichen ......" Xi Ning shouted to the man on the ground who had passed out and was covered in blood and mud.
Catching a glimpse of the blood on the corner of his mouth, Xi Ning secretly thought: The stone just now, I was afraid that it would smash his internal organs, and even the bone meridians, and he must recover immediately, otherwise he would be in danger of his life.
Immediately, the green light of her left hand was entangled, and the pale yellow light of her right hand flew out, all of which stabilized Xia Yichen's injury.
The treatment lasted a full two hours.
After reaching the end, Xi Ning couldn't hold it anymore, her consumption today was already very large, the river was so turbulent, it would take a lot of spiritual power to freeze it, and she only felt dizzy in the dark.
"Xia Yichen, wake up quickly, I can't hold on if you don't wake up again......" Xi Ning muttered and glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and now I don't know where it was washed away by the flood, in short, Xu Ziyu They can't find it in a short time, and they can only fend for themselves tonight.
The good news is that Mo Xuan's people won't chase after him so quickly.
As she pondered, a cold hand covered her hands.
"Xining, reap the merits, collect the merits!" Xia Yichen's tone was close to command.
When Xi Ning heard the voice, his heart was relieved, and he really had no strength, so he obediently took the credit.
Exhausted, she lay directly on the uneven ground, watching the crescent moon rise: "Mo Xuan, if I still have the strength, I will curse you for eighteen lifetimes." She coughed a few times, and her originally clear voice was a little hoarse.
Xia Yichen frowned and got up, looked at her wrinkled clothes that were obviously soaked and dried hot, touched her forehead, and said in a nervous tone: "Your temperature is not low, are you catching a cold?" β
Xi Ning coughed a few times again: "Whether we catch a cold or not, we have to find a place to spend the night, here, it's strange not to be bitten to death by tigers, leopards and jackals!" β
Xia Yichen struggled to get up.
"Don't move, your injuries are not yet complete, I really don't have the strength to stop." Xi Ning spoke up to stop Xia Yichen, who wanted to stand up.
"I can't die, the external injuries are no longer in the way," Xia Yichen gritted his teeth and picked up the Qinghong Sword on the ground, wanting to help Xi Ning, "Can you still go?" β
Xi Ning took a deep breath, and after barely standing up, he almost fell down because of a violent cough.
"Let's find a place nearby," she said, dizzy and the temperature seemed to be rising, "It's me, I'm dragging you down......"
Xia Yichen glared at her: "If you talk about dragging down again, I will jump into the Yellow River!" "If it wasn't for saving him, how could she have spent too much spiritual energy?
He looked at her pale, and picked her up with distress and pity: "Don't move, my breath is very unstable now, and I'm not sure how far I can take you." β
Xi Ning nodded slightly, only grabbed the placket of his pickle-like clothes, and said weakly: "I believe you ......"
Xia Yichen's footsteps paused, but a thousand thoughts stirred in his heart.
He couldn't tell the emotion, he only knew that he was happy.
The firewood pile was lit, and Xia Yichen was so uncomfortable that he could only use his exercises to regulate his breath.
He knew that he was seriously injured, and this time, if it weren't for Xi Ning, he would have died in Huangquan a long time agoβhe really lost Huangquan, drowned hundreds of times by the Yellow River, not to mention those men in black.
And now, Xi Ning has spent all his spiritual power to save him, and his external injuries have only recovered to the point where he can barely hold on.
The internal injuries were even worse, but Xi Ning no longer had the spiritual power to heal his internal injuries.
Thinking like this, he walked guiltily to Xi Ning, who was leaning against the rock wall, and his slender but slightly scarred hand covered her smooth forehead, and there was a hot touch in his palm, and the temperature seemed to be high again!
"Xi Ning," he shook her gently, "are you still conscious?" You're a healer, you tell me what to do! Xia Yichen anxiously took off his ragged coat and covered her.
"Water," Xi Ning's faint voice came, "Water ......"
Xia Yichen hurried to find water.
Xi Ning drank half of it before he spoke, but he was still very weak: "Splash this half of the water on it, and my head will ......"
Xia Yichen was stunned: Splashed on her head? But I didn't dare not do it.
As soon as the water fell on Xi Ning's head, she froze into ice.
For patients with high fever, the body's ability to regulate has failed, and sweating cannot reduce the fever at all, so ice compress is the most effective method.
Xia Yichen twisted Wei Yi's eyebrows, looked at Xi Ning, who was gradually falling asleep, and sighed. (To be continued......)
