Whoa, whoa, whoa!

On the road to Lucheng, a large river called the Tongming River rose due to the season, blocking the way for Song Qi and other refugees. When the trestle was flooded, everyone had to make simple rafts to cross the river.

"Sister, come with us. There is a lot of strength in numbers, and a few of us working together will soon be able to build a raft. ”

A young man who looked to be less than sixteen years old saw that Song Qi was alone, and immediately came to Song Qi and sincerely extended an invitation.

Not far behind the young man, several people who were traveling with him looked at Song Qi with the same expectant expressions, obviously hoping that Song Qi would be able to join their small group.

Judging from the clothing of these people, they are not big families in the southwest, but just a few ordinary civilians gathered together. Since the other small groups had already gathered enough people, these people could only pin their hopes on Song Qi, who was still alone.

Seeing the look of hope in the young man's eyes, Song Qi's numb expression finally had a hint of color.

Although she no longer had hope in her heart, she did not see the bodies of her parents with her own eyes, and Song Qi still did not want to believe that her relatives had been extinct. This is also the reason why she continued to advance towards Lucheng after hearing the news of the destruction of Lucheng.

Now that the road to Lucheng is blocked, Song Qi understands that he can't cross the river on his own, so after a little hesitation, he agrees to the boy's invitation and goes with them to the nearby woods to cut wood and make a raft.

Because Song Qi was more knowledgeable than the rest of the group, everyone quickly completed the construction of the raft under Song Qi's guidance, and Song Qi was unanimously recognized by everyone.

"Sister, you are so powerful! You must have been a big man in the southwest before, right?"

The boy named Qiao Zhi was full of love for Song Qi, and kept going around Song Qi in the process of building the raft.

"It's nothing, and when you grow up, you'll be a bigger person than me. ”

After Song Qi learned that Qiao Zhi had lost his family, he fled from Lingcheng to here by himself, and suddenly felt a sense of admiration for him in his heart.

Although she was a few years older than Qiao Zhi, after learning that she might lose her family, she couldn't be as strong as Qiao Zhi at all. At this time, hearing Qiao Zhi's praise of himself, Song Qi did not have the slightest smug look in his eyes.

After she touched Qiao Zhi's head, the expression on her face was finally no longer as lifeless as before, as if she had gained courage from Qiao Zhi.

"Miss Song, the raft has been built, while the river is still calm, let's cross the river immediately!"

Everyone who quickly built the raft under Song Qi's guidance was in a good mood, and when they carried the raft to the river, one of the middle-aged men immediately turned around and shouted at Song Qi.

"Well, without further ado, let's go right away!"

Song Qi nodded, and then took Qiao Zhi to the river and came to everyone.

As soon as they stepped onto the raft, they all paddled their oars towards the opposite bank at the same time, significantly faster than the other people's crudely constructed rafts.

The faces of everyone on the raft were full of joy, and their eyes seemed to see the scene after they escaped from the southwest, and the movement of the wooden oars became lighter.

At the same time, not far from Song Qi and the others, rafts made by other small groups were also launched. For a while, thousands of sails fluttered and hundreds of boats competed for the stream, and there was a hot scene on the Tongming River.

However, it is out of the ordinary

Surprisingly, the water level of the Tongming River was rising faster than they had imagined. In the turbulent river, the speed of everyone's progress was greatly affected, and even gradually deviated from the original river bank, floating down the river to a far, far downstream.

"Hold on! We're going to be ashore soon!"

Song Qi looked anxious, and while waving the wood pulp in his hand with all his strength, he swiped forward with all his might, and at the same time comforted the people on the raft.

But her voice did not calm the panicked crowd, especially when the otherwise stable raft began to fall apart after being soaked in the river, and most of the small group fell into irrepressible despair.

"It's over, we're all done!"

"The river is so deep and so fast, we will definitely die if we fall!"

"No, I don't want to die here, I'm going to go ashore!"

"Help, help!"

The crowd struggled repeatedly, and some even jumped into the water before the raft completely fell apart, intending to swim to the opposite bank on their own.

However, not long after the man went down, he was swallowed up by the rushing river, and the people could no longer see him emerging from the water.

Seeing this, the others completely lost the idea of swimming to the other side, and waved the wood pulp in their hands and rowed forward. But although their movements were fast, the speed of the raft falling apart was even faster, and after hearing a few crisp sounds, the raft where Song Qi and the others were was directly washed in half by the river.

"No!"

"Help me!"

"I don't want to die!"

Except for Song Qi and Qiao Zhi, everyone else fell into the river, and it didn't take long for them to be completely swallowed by the river. The originally noisy surface of the river began to fall silent, and there was no response except for the sound of the river agitating.

Not only the raft that Song Qi was on, but most of the rafts around them suffered the same fate, and soon fell apart and sank completely to the bottom of the river. The refugees who originally stood on the raft naturally became one of the countless drowning souls at the bottom of the Tongming River.

"Sister, what are we going to do? What are we going to do?"

Qiao Zhi and Song Qi stood on top of the last half of the raft, Qiao Zhi moved two steps towards Song Qi with a panicked face, despair and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

Because their rafts were stronger than the others, Song Qi and Qiao Zhi were the only two remaining refugees on the river. It's just that the situation is still not optimistic, because the half of the raft carrying Song Qi and Qiao Zhi is also making a creaking sound, and it is obvious that it will soon fall apart completely, and it will no longer be able to carry the two of them forward.

"Qiao Zhi, don't panic! We paddled hard, and we will definitely be able to reach the riverbank before the raft breaks up!"

At this time, Song Qi didn't care about the fact that the raft had already deviated from the direction, and just wanted to row to the river bank as soon as possible to escape.

But the raft they were on was already overwhelmed by the river, and the turmoil caused by the two of them paddling hard made the raft fall apart faster. In the blink of an eye, half of the raft that could have held many people was now home to only one person.

"Sister, I'm sorry!"

Seeing this, a trace of shame and hideous look flashed on Qiao Zhi's face, and when Song Qi couldn't react, he kicked her into the river.

"No!"

Song Qi was caught off guard and fell directly into the water, struggling for a long time before he barely emerged from the river.

At this time, she was soaked in the river and looked embarrassed. Although by their own water

Sex, Song Qi will not be swept away by the river in an instant, but Qiao Zhi has disappeared in front of her eyes on the raft in a blink of an eye, and it is impossible for Song Qi to climb on the raft again.

Just when Song Qi was in despair, a thick tree trunk suddenly floated in front of her. Song Qi hurriedly grabbed the trunk of the tree, and the whole person threw himself directly on the trunk and went down the river, so tired that he could barely move a finger.

This tree trunk was obviously cut down by other small groups when they were making rafts, and after the raft fell apart, the trunk immediately floated down the river and floated in front of Song Qi, narrowly allowing Song Qi to pick up a life.

Although Song Qi didn't know where she would drift with this tree trunk, she didn't have any strength to fight the torrent anymore, so she didn't care about anything else, and she almost fell asleep when she threw herself on the trunk.

In a daze, Song Qi seemed to hear someone calling her name. She miraculously opened her eyes tiredly, and actually saw Qiao Zhi, who had escaped alone on half of the raft not long ago.

It's just that Qiao Zhi was even worse than Song Qi at this time, and after the last half of the raft fell apart, Qiao Zhi's whole body fell into the river. If it weren't for the fact that the water flow of the Tongming River was already a little slower than just now, and the reason why Qiao Zhi had a good water nature, I am afraid that Qiao Zhi would have become a corpse at the bottom of the Tongming River.

However, even so, Qiao Zhi's condition at this time was extremely dangerous. Although he swam towards the shore with all his might, it was difficult to get close to the bank due to the influence of the current, and his whole body was exhausted, and his face became even more pale as paper.

"Sister, save me!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"Please, help me!"

Just when Qiao Zhi was on the verge of despair, he suddenly saw Song Qi lying on a thick tree trunk floating from upstream. Qiao Zhi hurriedly roared at Song Qi as hard as he could, his eyes flashed with tears of remorse and hope, which looked unbearable.

Although Song Qi had a grudge against Qiao Zhi, as soon as she saw Qiao Zhi's still childish face, she couldn't really see death without help.

"Swim over here! I'll do my best to catch you!"

Even though he was very tired, Song Qi still stretched out his hand towards Qiao Zhi with twelve points of spirit.

Qiao Zhi's eyes were red when he saw this, and his face was full of complex expressions of ecstasy, shame and emotion. But this is not the time to repent, he took advantage of the trunk floating towards him and hurriedly lifted his spirits, swam towards the trunk with all his might, planning to grab the trunk like Song Qi to let himself rest.

Song Qi also held the tree trunk with one hand, and stretched out his other hand far away at Qiao Zhi, intending to pull him at a critical moment.

Just as the two were about to hold hands together, the river suddenly turned, making the water where Qiao Zhi was located become turbulent again.

"Sister save me!"

Qiao Zhi screamed in horror, and then he was completely submerged by the river, and never came up from the river again.

"Qiao Zhi!"

Song Qi shouted anxiously, but there were no other figures on the entire river except herself.

There is silence in all directions, and the smoke is vast.

When the Tongming River finally changed from turbulent to gentle, Song Qi, who was holding the trunk of the tree and swimming down the river, also took advantage of the situation to swim to the shore.

However, there was no trace of joy on her face, Qiao Zhi's helpless cries for help still echoed in her mind, and her heart seemed to be pressed by a mountain, so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

"Wow-"

Song Qi, who had always pretended to be calm, and even had never cried when he learned of the destruction of Lucheng, finally couldn't help crying loudly!
