Yuzhi was really trapped in the cabin, she struggled for a long time to get out, and when she swam up, she happened to grab the broken mast floating on the water, she lay on the mast, inhaling and exhaling heavily, as if she was exhausted, she searched around by the moonlight, but there was no trace of Xie Zheng, and hurriedly exhaled: "Lady! Wife! Wife! ”

There are still a lot of people floating on the water, Yuzhi shouted loudly, but no one responded, she couldn't help but be anxious, she knew that Xie Zheng was familiar with the water, but she was not very relieved, so she went back to the water to look for it, this time she still didn't find Xie Zheng, but she met Yin Luo, who was also looking around in the water.

The two met, returned to the water together, and each found a boat board to lie on it, Yin Luo asked, "Zhan Niangzi, have you seen my master?" ”

Yuzhi panted and said impatiently: "I want to ask you, have you seen my lady?" ”

"They were talking on the deck just now, and they must still be together now, Zhan Niangzi, can your lady swim in the water?"

Yuzhi is also as cautious as Xie Zheng, a boudoir woman from the Shi clan, few are familiar with water, she secretly considered it in her heart, and then replied to him: "Yes, yes, but not very proficient." ”

"Then it's okay," Yin Luo didn't know whether he was comforting her or telling her the truth, he said: "My master is very watery, and your lady will be fine with him." ”

Yin Liu's words are reasonable, not to mention that Xie Zhengshui's temperament is not bad, Yuzhi thought about it carefully, her worries were indeed a little redundant, but no matter what, if she couldn't see anyone, she couldn't settle down.

"Then you'll have to see her," Yuzhi sighed.

There was a stir around, and only a few people were heard shouting: "There is a boat!" A ship is coming! A ship is coming! ”

Yin Luo and Yuzhi looked at the boats that were slowly approaching not far from the southeast, and their ears were filled with the cries for help of a group of people who fell into the water, and Yuzhi sighed again and said, "I don't know where the lady is......"

It was a fishing boat, medium in size, and there was a fishy smell coming from a long distance.

The fishing boat stopped, several fishermen on the boat threw down the hemp rope to save people, everyone got on the boat, Yin Luo also pulled the jade branch and swam over, and said, "We will go up too." ”

When he got to the bottom of the boat, Yin Luo went up first with Yuzhi, Yuzhi grabbed the hemp rope, but he didn't move to climb up, and turned around and said, "But what about my lady?" ”

Yin slightly pushed her up and said, "You go up first." ”

The weather was cold, everyone's clothes were soaked, there was a fire on the fishing boat, everyone was around the fire to keep warm, Yuzhi and Yin Luo were the same, the fishermen specially boiled ginger tea to share a bowl with each person, and said: "You have been soaked in the water for so long, you must have frozen to death, hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger tea to drive away the cold, now this day, if you are infected with the wind cold, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Yuzhi held the warm tea bowl and whispered: "If the county marquis knows that I lost my lady, he is afraid that he will kill me." ”

"I can't blame you for this, who knew that the passenger boat would suddenly leak, besides, now we are just separated," Yin Luo patted her thin back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xie Niangzi is with my master, she will be fine." ”

The crowd and several fishermen said a few words about the accidental leakage of the passenger boat, and thanked them again, and the fishermen asked, "Where did your boat come from and where are you going?" ”

The helmsman of the passenger ship replied: "We are going from Guangling and going to Gaoping." ”

The fishermen were surprised: "Are you from the Southern Dynasties?" ”

Everyone replied one by one, some said that they were from the Southern Dynasty, and some said that they were from the Northern Dynasty, and their hometown was in which state and which county, and the helmsman smiled: "They are all businessmen, running at both ends." ”

Yuzhi walked up to the helmsman and asked in a low voice, "Brother helmsman, I wonder if all the people on the passenger boat have come up?" I have two friends who are separated. ”

The helmsman shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's really a sin to say, today's ship is not good, the ship is sunk, I'm afraid that many people are killed, your two friends, alas, it's hard to say......"

Yin Luo also walked over and said, "But our two friends can swim, and they stood on the deck when the ship was wrecked, so there must be nothing wrong." ”

The helmsman suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, just now in the water, it seems that a few young people have swam to the shore, I wonder if the two you said are also among them." ”

A boatload of passengers asked, "Girl, the two friends you are talking about, but they are a husband and wife?" ”

"Husband and wife?" Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and Yin Luo hurriedly said: "Yes, a man and a woman, not very old, the male is twenty-nine, and the female is about eighteen or nineteen years old, both of them are very good-looking and very noblely dressed, Brother Tai has seen them?" ”

At this time, another boat passenger also opened his mouth and asked Yuzhi: "Is this lady called Yuzhi?" ”

When Yuzhi heard this, she wondered if Xie Zheng had called her on the water, and immediately nodded: "I am!" Does this big brother know where they are? ”

"That lady once looked for you, but no one answered at that time, so she took her husband to the east, and now she must be in Pei County."

"Pei County?" Yuzhi stood up, walked to the side of the boat, and looked in the southeast direction, since she now knew that Xie Zheng was in Pei County, she naturally wanted to go back to find her, but the boat had been traveling for half an hour, and it was no longer in Pei County, so she couldn't ask people to turn around!

The fisherman asked, "Girl, where are you going?" ”

"We're going..."Yin Luo wanted to go to Pingcheng as he told the truth, but Yuzhi was a little more thoughtful, snatched his words, and only said: "Yanzhou." ”

"To go to Yanzhou, then you have to take a boat to Gaoping first, and then take a carriage to go, so it's faster. You're all going to Gaoping, and our boat is going there too, carrying you without delay," said the fisherman.

Yuzhi said: "Boatman, we have to go back to Pei County first, can you go to the front to find a ferry to put us down?" ”

"There is no ferry in front, from Huaiyin to Gaoping, there is a ferry in Pei County in the middle, even if I go to the front to dock and put you down, you can only take a carriage back to Pei County."

The helmsman also persuaded: "Your two friends are in Pei County, there is also a ferry over there, and there are boats coming and going every day, they are going to Gaoping, and they will take a boat from Pei County, and they will arrive in two days at most, so you might as well go to Gaoping first and wait." ”

One of the boat passengers also said: "Yes, if you go down to the front, and then take the carriage back to Peixian, it will take at least a day, they will go to Gaoping by water early tomorrow morning, and you will take the land route to turn back, won't you still not meet?" ”

"The big brothers are reasonable," Yin Luo got up and walked to Yuzhi, and said: "Zhan Niangzi, if we turn back to Peixian again, not only will we not be able to touch them, but we will also delay time, it is better to listen to them, we will follow this ship to Gaoping first, and they will also go to Gaoping." ”

"But the lady is also looking for us, what if they also stay in Pei County to find us?" Yuzhi frowned, her face full of sadness.

Yin Luo said: "There is a ferry in Pei County, and people nearby will hear about such a big thing as a shipwreck, don't they know that there are fishermen who have saved us?" The eldest brothers also said that there is no other ferry on this waterway, we were rescued by fishermen, either to the next ferry or back to the previous ferry, Xie Niangzi is so smart, she will definitely expect that we have gone to Gaoping. ”

Yuzhi thought about it for a while, Yin Luo was right, but if the lady inquired a little about the follow-up of tonight's shipwreck, she would guess that she and Yin Luo had already gone to Gaoping first.

"Okay, then listen to you, let's go to Gao Ping first."
