By the time Jiangnan Siyou felt the river, it was already dark. The sun is hidden under the treetops, and the whole land is shrouded in twilight.

The snow-tailed civet circled around the shore for a long time, and then squeaked twice at Zhang Bo. Zhang Bo said: "The four owners, Miss Ren's taste ends here. ”

Dan Qingsheng said: "Could it be that you have crossed the river by swimming? ”

Looking at the tree trunk lying on the side, Hei Baizi said: "It should be crossing the river, they obviously cut down this tree trunk just now to cross the river." ”

Huang Zhonggong said: "Without further ado, let's also swim to the other side and continue to chase!" ”

After that, the four friends of Jiangnan jumped into the river and swam to the other side. Zhang Bo also put the snow-tailed civet on top of his head and swam towards the opposite bank.

But after they went ashore across the river, the snow-tailed civet could not find Ren Yingying's scent. By this time it was already dark.

Everyone gradually began to get irritable in their hearts, and the bald pen man urged impatiently: "Zhang Bo! What did you do with this snow-tailed civet? ”

The sweat on Zhang Bo's forehead mixed with the river water kept flowing down, and he said while wiping it with his sleeve: "Master Sanzhuang, I think Miss Ren is weak and swims much slower than us to cross the river, maybe she went ashore further downstream." Let's search downstream along the riverbank. If she had landed, the snow-tailed civet would have been able to sniff it. ”

Jiangnan Siyou had no other way but to follow Zhang Bo to search downstream little by little. But this is destined to be fruitless......

"Elder Du, after the four friends of Jiangnan crossed the river, they slowed down and seemed to have lost it. What shall we do? ”

"Elder Bao, we were wrong before, in fact, no matter who the eldest lady is into, she has to go to the Black Wood Cliff to get the reward of the sect master. We just need to go back to Heimu Cliff and make a good arrangement, no matter who catches Miss Ren in the end, it will be our brother's wedding clothes. Let's go back and wait! ”

"Well, that's the truth!"

****************************************

Seeing that Yue Lingfeng's hands were weak and he was about to be unable to hold the piece of wood that supported him to float, Ren Yingying hurriedly untied the sweat towel wrapped around his waist and tied Yue Lingfeng's left arm and his right arm to this piece of wood. In this way, both of their arms were firmly tied to the wood, and there was no need to hold the wood with any more effort.

This way of escaping, for Ren Yingying, who had just recovered from his injury, and Yue Lingfeng, who was extremely weak without the slightest internal force, he was extremely tired, both physically and psychologically. In a few moments, the sun was completely hidden below the ground level, and it was dark.

I don't know when the two of them fell asleep on the wood like this, and drifted down the turbulent river all night in their sleep. By the time dawn came, the water had calmed down, and the two of them, along with the floating logs, had been washed up by the river to the shallows on the shore.

First of all, Ren Yingying was awakened by the vibration of the shore and opened her eyes, and saw that Yue Lingfeng's arms were still tied to the wood, only to see Yue Lingfeng's lips blue and his eyes closed. Ren Yingying hurriedly stretched out her middle finger and pressed it on Yue Lingfeng's neck artery, although her skin was a little cold, her pulse was beating steadily and strongly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the pulse, Yue Lingfeng just fell asleep and there was no big problem. Ren Yingying untied the sweat towel that tied the arms of the two, and tried to move the arms that were a little unobstructed because of the long-term binding.

Took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, inside was the "Calming Mental Qi Pill" given by Ping Yizhi at the time of parting, which contained many precious medicinal materials, and it was not easy to refine, and for many years, there were only twelve pills in Ping Yizhi's hands, and this time they were all given to Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying pulled out the cork cork, poured out two pills, and took one for herself. He broke Yue Lingfeng's lips again and gave him one as well.

Ping Yi pointed out that this medicine really worked, and after a while, Ren Yingying felt less tired. The spirit is much better.

Ren Yingying hugged Yue Lingfeng and walked to the dry cobblestone river beach. Sit cross-legged to exercise luck in order to better exert the power of medicine. By the time her true qi runs for a week, it will already be the third pole of the sun.

Suddenly there was a gurgling sound from the abdomen, the two of them hadn't eaten since last night, Ren Yingying took off the burden from Yue Lingfeng's waist, and found that the dry food inside had already been soaked to a pulp. At this moment, Ren Yingying smelled the smell of cooking smoke.

When I stood up, I saw that there were several passenger boats and fishing boats about a mile in front of the river, and it turned out that this was a sheltered river harbor. She didn't even notice it when it was getting dark.

Ren Yingying thought: "We rely on our legs to escape for our lives, but after all, we can't get rid of the tracking of the snow-tailed civet cat, so it's better to take a boat instead" immediately picked up Yue Lingfeng and ran towards those boats.

A mile away is in the blink of an eye. Ren Yingying saw that there were about seven or eight passenger boats and two fishing boats here. She saw that a passenger ship was neither big nor small, and it was just what she wanted. The boatman and the boatwoman lived and cooked at the bow of the boat, and Ren Yingying jumped on the bow of the boat with her arms in her arms.

The boatman and the boatlady startled her. Ren Yingying opened her mouth and said: "Boatman, my brother and I sank in the upper reaches, and our brother and sister drifted here. Can you do the business of carrying passengers on this ship? If you can give my brother and sister a ride, I will be grateful. So saying, he put an ingot of ten taels of silver in the hands of the boatman.

Ren Yingying saw that the food in their pot was only enough for two people, guessed that there were no guests in their cabin, and said: "Our brother and sister love to be clean, we have chartered this ship, how much does it cost?" ”

The boatman looked at the ten taels of ingots in his hand and was a little flustered, and the passengers received on weekdays were only copper plates, which was not common, especially ten taels. You must know that they have worked hard for a year to earn only a dozen taels of money, and the discount into silver is only a dozen taels. This time, I got Ren Yingying's ten taels of silver, and I was a little confused.

Or the boat lady slowed down first and asked, "Of course it's no problem to charter this boat, but we don't have enough broken silver to find these ten taels of ingots?" The boatman also reacted, and nodded innocently. The personalities of this husband and wife are obviously very simple.

Ren Yingying said with a smile: "Boat family, the place we are going to is far away, our brothers and sisters are more particular about their diet, and it will cost a lot of money to eat and drink along the way." These ten taels of silver may not be enough, so let's use them first. If you run out of money on the way, you can collect it from me. How about I settle the fare when I get off the ship? ”

The boat lady heard Ren Yingying say this, and looked Ren Yingying and Yue Lingfeng up and down. This Yue Lingfeng was dressed in a cotton green shirt, with a long sword hanging from his waist, like a scholar who traveled to study with a sword. to nothing special.

However, although Ren Yingying's clothes are still wet, the fabric is plain satin, and the collar and cuffs are embroidered with dark lines.

The boat lady said in her heart: "This can't be like in the play, right?" This young lady eloped with a poor scholar? ”
