The sky was cloudy, lead-gray clouds tumbled in the howling north wind, and from time to time raindrops the size of beans poured down into the sea.

The sea was raging, and the sea was no longer as blue as it had been before, but as if it had been dyed by clouds in the sky, and the black waves of the hills were rising one after another, beating down towards the south.

In the foaming water, a young man lay motionless on an empty wooden barrel, floating and sinking with the waves; His bun had been loosened at some point, and his wet hair had covered most of his face; Through the gaps in his hair, his lips, which were bloodless and as pale as his face; The cotton robe on his body has long been full of seawater, and the bulging bag hangs on his body like a pocket; I don't know how long he soaked in the sea, and his exposed hands and feet were frighteningly white.

A wave came and drowned the young man's head in the sea, and when it came to the surface again, the young man coughed violently and spat out the sea; It took him a while to calm down, and he tried to open his eyes and look around, but nothing seemed to be visible on the raging sea.

Suddenly, the young man's gaze froze, and he stared at the front for a moment; It took him a long time before he lifted his hand, which had been hanging in the sea, and rubbed his eyes desperately; After kneading, the young man struggled to straighten up and looked more intently ahead.

That's right! A few small black spots appeared on the surface of the sea!

The young man's eyes were no longer sluggish, his nose twitched, and large tears dripped down uncontrollably, sliding down his pale face into the sea.

It took him a long time before he raised his arm and wiped his eyes, and with great effort he pulled up in the sea with his hands and feet, and tried to scratch towards the black dots.

It was obvious that those black dots were boats, and they were going against the wind. The young man, on the other hand, drifted in the direction of the waves, so soon the distance between the two sides was close enough to see the details of the boat.

The young man craned his neck to make a careful snack, and at last he could see the flag fluttering on the mast of the ship's owner at the front, embroidered with a large "Zheng", and he hesitated to stop his movements, as if he was worried about something.

The pause didn't last long, and the young man's face showed a determined expression. Fight to paddle again; When he could see the figure of the man on the boat, the young man stopped again, and with great difficulty tore off his white undershirt from the cotton robe, and waved it high.

His movements were discovered by the ship's men, and soon an empty barrel was thrown into the sea with a long hemp rope tied to it.

Young man, he is finally saved!

Jeju Island, Susan Mansion. Inside the small partial courtyard.

Chu Fan walked out of his study, glanced at the sun that was about to disappear behind Halla Mountain, and stretched out fiercely regardless of the image.

He sat in the study for a whole day today - the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and all kinds of reports and summaries of various departments were piled up, and he needed to read and process them one by one; In addition, the Fuliao Army revised and sorted out a number of regulations and codes during this time, and it was even more necessary for him to review and revise them item by item, so Chu Fan was basically staying in the study for the past two days.

The yard was quiet, and the pins could be heard. Even Niuniu, who had always been chirping like a happy little sparrow, didn't move, and Chu Fan walked around. Only then did it become clear that there was no one in the hospital.

Walking outside the corner gate, the guards were also replaced by two newcomers from the guards, Chu Fan just wanted to ask where the people were, and he heard the sound of the car - two carriages were heading towards the side courtyard, and Doudou followed behind the car with the guards.

The car stopped at the corner gate, and the car curtain was opened. The first to show up was Niu Niu, who was stunned for a moment when she saw Chu Fan, then she giggled and jumped out of the carriage and pounced on Chu Fan, "Brother." We're back! Chu Fan was stunned with a loud voice.

Yan Ruxue followed closely behind and got out of the car, and the car behind was idle tea and small snails.

"We're going to Anzachuan," Yan Ruxue saw Chu Fan, who was holding Niuniu, at a loss, and explained as she walked into the courtyard, "Seeing that you were busy, I didn't say hello to you." ”

"Sister Feng gave me a lot of delicious food, and she played the piano for us to listen to, but it sounded good!" Niu Niu snorted and croaked - her nose was red from the cold.

"Niuniu has been clamoring to see Sister Feng for a long time, and she has never had a chance," Yan Ruxue observed Chu Fan's expression and continued to explain, "Today is the primary school hall resting, and you don't go out, so I asked Doudou to send us there." ”

While speaking, he had already entered the courtyard and arrived in the flower hall, Chu Fan put down Niuniu and glared at Yan Ruxuedao, "Why don't you tell me from such a long distance?" When will your frizzy personality change? ”

Yan Ruxue knew that she was at a loss, and wrung her fingers and bowed her head, "It doesn't depend on you being busy, I'm afraid of disturbing you...... Speaking of which, it's been a month since we came back from Sister Feng, and we haven't even gone to say thank you to others, we are at a loss in terms of this gift! ”

Speaking of Gao Fengji, Chu Fan's beautiful face immediately appeared in front of his eyes - although they had only been together for one day and one night, the feeling of life and death was really unforgettable; In addition, compared with Yan Ruxue, Gao Fengji is older and has a much more mature personality, Chu Fan feels that he seems to be more able to talk to her.

It's just that when Song Xiance proposed Chu Fan to marry her, he emphasized the importance of too many political marriages, which made Chu Fan very resistant, which can only be said to be fateful.

"How is she?" Chu Fan asked subconsciously.

Seeing that Chu Fan no longer pursued the matter of making his own claims, Yan Ruxue breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and replied, "It's still the same, quiet, as if there is nothing in this world that can make her curious...... But she was still very happy to see us, and even stroked a few tunes for us...... Sister Feng is actually quite pitiful and helpless. ”

"She didn't ask me?" Chu Fan asked.

"Asked," Yan Ruxue nodded as if a chicken pecked rice, "As soon as we got there, she asked about your injuries...... When I told her that you were unconscious, she turned white with fright...... Later, I heard that you were fine, and she had recited a long section of Buddhist scriptures, and I couldn't understand it...... Anyway, I'm very interested in you! ”

Chu Fan originally wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the idle tea that broke in, "Young Master, Director Chen, they are here!" It seems that there is something urgent! ”

Hearing her say this, Yan Ruxue hurriedly took Niuniu to avoid, and as soon as they left, Chen Shangren came in, followed by Ge Bi, Yang Dijiao and others, as well as a few fresh faces.

As soon as Chen Shangren came in, he said in a deep voice with a dark face.

"Yixian! Something is wrong! (To be continued.) )
