Cold, so cold......

All the limbs and bones were frozen and stiff, and the body became heavier and heavier, as if it was gradually falling, something poured into his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, oxygen became less and less, and breathing became more and more difficult......

Is this to freeze to death or suffocate first?

With this trace of consciousness, Shen Qiutan opened his eyes in the cold.

It's still in the water, but the water is very muddy, not at all like the sea area where she dived.

What happened?

Time is of the essence, and there is no room for further investigation, so we can only obey the instinct of survival.

Shen Qiutan swung her limbs and slowly floated up, and she was about to break through the cold water, when suddenly a black and slimy thing fell from above, blocking her way. She had just woken up, and her domination of her limbs was still in a state of adjustment and adaptation, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of that thing, and with a bang, Shen Qiutan finally surfaced.

The long-lost oxygen filled the entire lungs, and even though the rain was pouring down, Shen Qiutan was still relieved.

By the faint light of the sky, she could see clearly that she was not in the deep sea, and that the shore was not far from her, so she threw off her arms and decided to go ashore first.

As a result, just as she was finding her right direction and her luck was swimming, her foot suddenly became entangled in something.

With a pop, she was dragged into the water again, and suddenly choked on a large mouthful of water.

Meow, what the hell, don't pull me to death!

Then, Shen Qiutan finally saw clearly what the black thing just now was.

It turned out to be a person.

Or rather, a teenager, who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in black, with long hair spread out like seaweed, was trying his best to hug his thighs, as if he was holding a life-saving straw.

Without much hesitation, Shen Qiutan bent down in the water and took the initiative to go down, the young man didn't expect her to be like this, without noticing, plus he was already exhausted, so he immediately let go.

Is that so? When can you break free!

With his last hope dashed, he self-deprecatingly closed his eyes and waited for death to come...... How unwilling!

But in the next moment, something hooked his armpit, and his whole person was hooked from behind and went backwards and upstream.

The water was rattling, it was familiar cold, and he couldn't see the people behind him, but there were inexplicably more installments.

At the moment he surfaced, he finally fainted with peace of mind.

Shen Qiutan exerted herself normally, and her body became more and more flexible, and she found that it took almost no effort to drag a person like this. Is your body so powerful?

But this arm, why do you feel a little shorter?

The backstroke landed, Shen Qiutan used all his strength, pulled the young man's hands, lifted the person up from behind, and slipped under his feet in a hurry, so he pounced on the young man, and his hands hit the lower part of the young man's sternum.

The sleepy boy spit out a mouthful of water mixed with mud and sand at the right time.

Shen Qiutan touched the rain on his face, looked at the gray skylight, and looked at his shrunken hands blankly, his eyes were full of disbelief, how could it be?

How so?

After taking a deep breath, she gradually calmed down, and then examined the boy's mouth, nose and throat. Fortunately, with the pressure just now, all the vomits that should have been vomited are almost gone, and although the breathing and heartbeat are not strong enough, they can't die.

Shen Qiutan sat on the silky muddy ground with a puff, but he didn't expect that his life certificate would come in handy. It's just that in the face of her shrunken body, the grass around her, and the strangely dressed teenager, she suddenly gave birth to a "Who am I?" Where am I? The melancholy came.

She's definitely not her original self anymore, at least not physically.

Is this a dream?

It was a little brighter, but the rain did not abate.

The cold wind and rain hit the body, like an ice knife.

Shen Qiutan shivered, feeling more and more that everything in front of her was not like a dream, she glanced at the black-clothed young man who was rescued, and appointed to carry the person.

Since it has been saved, let's save it to the end.

At the very least, send him to a place where he can shelter from the rain.

Then, ask for directions......

The young man was a head taller than Shen Qiutan, and it didn't take much effort for Shen Qiutan to carry people on his shoulders.

The rain was fine and dense, and finally there was a tendency to slow down.

"How skinny!" Shen Qiutan muttered, carrying the person and drifting away.

…………

Ten miles away, two groups of people confronted each other in the rain.

"Who are you?" When did there become such a group of people in Jibei Prefecture? They have taken the entire Jibei Prefecture and occupied Jiyang City, so they must not go wrong at this time.

The person who questioned him was wearing a yellow scarf of the rebels, and his identity was self-evident. On the other hand, the man opposite him was dressed in a robe, covered with a black cloth, his horses were strong, his swords were sharp, and his hands were cold and fierce, and I am afraid that there were many lives on his hands.

"Get out!" There was a man wearing a hat and a cloak and being protected behind him by the crowd.

This time he came in a hurry and hidden, he only brought less than Bai Yu with him, from Beichuan to Jibei, seventy or eighty people have been lost along the way, and now the remaining twenty or so people are all good hands, but they can't stand the strength of the other party.

But when the word "roll" came out, the twenty people were all one in the same line, and the general was obviously impatient.

They had no choice but to defend their master and fight and retreat.

In the midst of a fight, the man wearing the hat finally broke out of the encirclement and rushed towards Xiaoyue Lake.

He had already seen the map of Jiyang City, and the signal left by Qi'er along the way should be towards Xiaoyue Lake. But when he finally arrived at the shore of Xiaoyue Lake, except for a few victims who had died completely, there was no trace of Qi'er, and the signal was cut off.

"Find!"

After a while, someone came to report it, but it was not found.

"Find, keep looking! Get in the water and find it! ”

"General, there are many rebels, and they are about to outflank them, this lake is not small, I'm afraid we don't have time to ......"

"Shut up! I'll let you find it! Then look for ......" In the end, powerlessness and pain have been revealed.

As the rain faded away, the sound flew farther away. The general kicked the man to the ground, just in time to hear the sound of the sword approaching.

Of the remaining twenty people, more than half stayed behind to block the rebels, and only six people followed him.

He looked at the calm surface of the lake, and there was no ripple except for the faint ripples left by the rain and the wind.

Everything shows that the chances of Li'er still alive are slim.

And these people are all three generations ago, they are all born and died with their grandfathers, and this generation is also brothers who grew up with them...... In order to find the corpse, take this group of brothers...... He couldn't.

His throat rolled up and down, his eyes were slightly astringent, and he finally suppressed: "Withdraw." ”

Sister, I'm sorry for you!

However, Yuan Ben's account, he will have to settle it clearly sooner or later! If he hadn't sent someone to stop him, he would have rushed to Xiaoyue Lake.

…………

In a cave near the top of the mountain, Shen Qiutan shivered and took off his wet clothes, it was too cold, and he didn't put it on again until the water on his body was almost dry.

And the young man not far from her, under the closed eyes, the eyeballs were rolling rapidly.

It looks like I'm in a nightmare

Shen Qiutan didn't care if others were dreaming or not.

She rubbed her hands together and exhaled the cold air, which met the colder air and turned into a white mist in an instant. Shen Qiutan hurriedly closed his mouth and began to untie the young man's clothes. I've wrung it out of my own, so let's screw it for him too.

There is still a breath, and he can't let him not be drowned, but he will be frozen to death.

As a result, as soon as Shen Qiutan touched his collar, the young man suddenly opened his eyes.
