Chapter 40: Go down to Jiangnan again
At night, the wind and waves on the river were calm, and Fang Mojiao always felt restless when she listened to the sound of insects.
After a few days in the cabin, she decided to go out on deck to breathe. As soon as she got out of the cabin, the boat shook violently, and she almost fell without the slightest preparation, but fortunately she quickly grabbed the door frame.
Baixi on the side was not so lucky, and accidentally knocked on the door, and his forehead instantly rose with a big bag.
"What's going on?" Fang Mojiao asked with a little panic.
Baixi couldn't answer, but said, "Girl, let's go back to the cabin first." ”
Fang Mojiao was worried about her mother and aunt and wanted to go to see them. Then the boat began to shake again, and both the master and servant clung to the door frame, desperate to know what was the matter.
Just when they were worried and confused, they heard the sound of weapons fighting in front of them, and then they saw Zheng Yu running over with a knife, followed by two Zheng family guards, "The water invades the ship, you go back to the cabin and stay, no matter what sound you hear, don't come out." ”
Then he instructed the two guards to protect Fang Moji's master and servant.
Fang Mojiao chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Are there many of them, are my mother and aunt okay, are my eldest brother, second brother and cousin Jin, have they been injured?" ”
Zheng Yu didn't have time to answer her questions one by one, so she took out a dagger from her body and gave it to her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, you take this dagger for self-defense, I'll go back to help." ”
After saying this, Zheng Yu hurriedly ran back again.
Fang Mojiao and Baixi hurriedly returned to the cabin, the sound of fighting and screams came from time to time, and Fang Mojiao was so nervous that her palms were full of sweat.
This section of the canal from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River is the safest, since the canal was opened, there has been no water for decades, how did they happen to encounter it?
Just when Fang Mojiao was restless, the sound of the fight outside gradually became quieter, and Baixi whispered: "Girl, it should be the young master who has solved the water kou, or the slave maid will go out to explore the situation." ”
"Don't go yet, wait for my cousin and them to come to us." Fang Mojiao was a little worried.
After another pillar of incense, there was still no movement outside, and the entire cabin was so quiet that even Fang Mojiao couldn't sit still.
Looking at the door through the candlelight, the two guards of the Zheng family stood motionless, she called them twice, and no one answered her.
Holding the dagger Zheng Yu gave her, Fang Mojiao slowly moved towards the door, and Baixi also used the candlestick as a weapon to follow her. As soon as the hatch was opened, the two guards fell straight down.
"Yo, there are two little beauties hidden here."
Fang Mojiao was frightened and frightened, and at this time, two masked black-clothed people came out from the side, and the person in front reached out to grab her, Fang Mojiao held the dagger and stabbed forward fiercely, stabbing the gangster's arm.
Baixi, who was following her, slammed the candlestick on his head again, knocking the villain unconscious.
The accomplice in the back saw that the gangster was knocked unconscious, and said viciously: "It's really unlucky, I was almost injured by two little girls." After speaking, he kicked off Fang Mojiao's dagger, pulled her and jumped into the water.
"Let go of my girl." Baixi rushed forward with a candlestick and smashed it on the arm of his accomplice, and the accomplice kicked Baixi is foot, and Baixi cleverly dodged.
Fang Mojiao took the opportunity to pull out the hairpin and stabbed it at the accomplice's neck, and the accomplice let out a miserable scream and threw Fang Mojiao out of the boat with a forceful flick.
"Girl." Baixi was frightened by this sudden change, and looked at the gangster accomplice who threw his girl into the water, and smashed his head with a candlestick like crazy.
After Zheng Yu, Du Wuyan and the others in front of them solved the attack on the Shui Kou, they were counting the number when they heard the screams from behind the boat and ran back. When they arrived, the gangster accomplice had already been smashed by Baixi and his face was covered in blood.
"Baixi, where is your girl?" Brother Fang stopped her movements and inquired about her sister's whereabouts.
Baixi threw away the candlestick at once, knelt in front of Brother Fang and wept bitterly: "Uncle, it's all the slave's fault, the slave didn't protect the girl, and the girl was thrown into the water by the gangsters." ”
When Brother Fang heard this, he hurriedly wanted to jump into the water to save people, but was stopped by Du Wuyan, "Let's go, I grew up in Jiangnan since I was a child, and my water nature is much better than yours." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Brother Fang's consent, a fierce man plunged into the water.
After Fang Mojiao was thrown into the water, a strong feeling of suffocation made her keep struggling, but she didn't know how to water, and after a few struggles, her body sank. The sound in my ears became farther and farther away, my ears and eyes swelled and hurt, and my consciousness gradually withdrew from my mind.
She felt that she might die here, like the conscripts who drowned while building the canal, in the dark waters. At the moment when she lost consciousness, familiar faces appeared in front of her eyes.
Those are her blood relatives, close friends, and even resentful enemies. In the end, almost all of their faces disappeared, leaving only a thin and handsome face in front of their eyes.
She smiled weakly, it turned out that she still thought about him until she died.
When Du Wuyan found Fang Mojiao in the water, she was almost unconscious. He put one arm around her, paddled hard with the other, and it took a lot of effort to swim back to the boat with the man.
Everyone who put it on was relieved to see that he had rescued Fang Mojiao. Brother Fang jumped off the boat with a rope and lifted his sister up with him, and Second Brother Fang and Zheng Yu answered on it.
Fang Mojiao was unconscious because of choking on water, and it happened that they didn't bring a doctor with them on this trip, although they were rescued, they were still helpless.
At this time, Jane's and Aunt Jane rushed over when they learned the news again, and Jane's saw her daughter falling into a coma, and couldn't help but fall on her and cry bitterly.
The Fang family brothers hurriedly went to help her, Aunt Jian thought that when she was a child, she saw ordinary people rescue people who fell into the water, so she pressed Fang Mojiao's chest according to the appearance in her memory, and after some operation, Fang Mojiao suddenly coughed a few times, and most of the water choked in was also spit out by her.
Seeing that this was effective, Aunt Jian pressed it a few more times, and Fang Mojiao's mouth was blocked, and she quickly asked Brother Fang to carry Fang Mojiao back to the cabin. At the same time, he ordered the boatman to dock at the nearest pier and first seek a doctor to heal his niece.
The place where the fight was fought in front had to be cleared, and the water kou who was captured alive had to be interrogated intensively, and Aunt Jian asked her sons and nephews to leave separately, and she and Jane stayed behind to take care of Fang Mojiao. The sisters changed Fang Mojiao into clean clothes, and Jane couldn't help wiping away tears when she thought of her daughter's many disasters.
Aunt Jane frowned and said, "They are all grandmothers, and they are still the same as the girl's family, they wipe their tears at every turn, I really think highly of you." ”
After being reprimanded by her sister, Jane choked up, "I'm just distressed, this child hasn't lived a few comfortable days since he quit the marriage." ”
"Alright, okay, don't cry." Aunt Jane was also uncomfortable, "Aunt Jian is blessed with a great life, and it will be fine." Maybe this is her calamity, as long as she survives, she will be safe and smooth in the future. ”
Hearing this, Jane's mood was much better.
When the boat docked at dawn, Brother Fang and Zheng Yu went ashore to find the doctor, they went and came back quickly, and the old doctor who was invited back by them didn't have time to tidy himself, his clothes and hair were messy, and he was almost half-coerced by them to take them on the boat.
The most important thing now is to save people, and the old doctor is also used to seeing rich and noble people, and when he sees them, he knows that they are not ordinary people. The old doctor was taken to Fang Mojiao's cabin, and he checked Fang Mojiao's pulse, and said while taking the pulse: "If the old man guessed correctly, this girl had suffered a serious traumatic injury before, which caused a serious injury to her vitality. ”
Jane nodded, "The injury I suffered two months ago was in my back. ”
The old doctor continued to check the pulse, "Hey, if you are injured, you should recuperate, and you should not run around and work hard." Now that the water has fallen, although the water temperature is not low at this time, it will aggravate her condition for her. ”
Jane was anxious, "Doctor, you must save my daughter." ”
"Don't worry, madam, the old man will try his best to heal."
