The three big boats collided, and the ships of the White Kingdom Mansion overturned at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and the young men and girls who were still laughing and groaning on the boat all fell into the water, struggling and gradually disappearing.

At this time, the boat went to the middle of the river, and the people on the shore could only be anxious when they saw this scene, and kept urging their own water knowledge to rush to save people. And on the other four ships, there are just some young masters and girls who have never had an accident, and they are stunned one by one when they encounter such a thing, and they are at a loss, and they smell: "Save people." Only then did someone react from the shock, and then there was another panic.

Fortunately, most of the maids and girls who were waiting on the boat were water-savvy, and after reacting, "poof, poof" plunged into the water one after another and didn't know where to go.

There is a bloody man who knows water, and he can't bear to see this scene, so he takes off his coat and plunges into the water to participate in the rescue operation, and with the first one, there is a second and a third.

Wen Ziran found Mu Mingluo and Mu Mingxiao in the official ship for the first time, and saw that the two of them were just frightened, so they were also relieved at the moment and asked, "Can you see Mingshu?" ”

Mu Mingluo is a little older, Rao is just a little girl no matter how calm she is, and tears fell when she heard this: "Big sister, big sister is here, on the boat." As if he felt that he couldn't speak clearly, he added another sentence: "On the Bai family's boat." ”

Wen Ziran's brows furrowed tightly, and his whole body exuded a cold air that he had never felt before, and advised: "You tighten it up, don't let people scatter, don't walk around, I'll take a look." ”

After speaking, he strode to the plywood, looked at the side of the boat for a while, and did not find Mu Mingshu's figure, and his heart was cold at the moment, and he also jumped into the water.

He has traveled abroad for many years, and in addition to gaining knowledge, he has also learned a lot of skills, and the water is one of them, and there is no discomfort in the water this time.

People were rescued one after another, Wen Ziran continued to look in the water while paying attention to those who were rescued, but there was still no Mu Mingshu. The boat had completely flipped upside down, and he took a deep breath and plunged into the water, swimming to the bottom of the boat.

There were things all around that had fallen from the boats or from the boys and girls, and they were floating in the water or sinking.

Wen Ziran didn't know how long he had been looking in the water, he still hadn't seen Mu Mingshu's figure, and the thousands of feelings in his heart were indescribable, and the whole person began to be a little tired, and he couldn't slow down in one breath, and was about to float to the water, but he saw a red figure in the corner from a distance.

I didn't want to swim over at the moment, and it was only before Wen Ziran found out that it was the delicate Yang Qinghe, although I didn't like her very much, but I was holding her upstream in a daze.

When he surfaced, Yang Qinghe finally became a little conscious, his eyes narrowed a slit, he clutched Wen Ziran's clothes, and his voice was weak and hoarse: "Don't leave me, don't leave me ......"

It's like an abandoned puppy, very lovable, and different from her arrogant and domineering appearance in the morning.

Wen Ziran was originally going to hand her over to those mothers-in-law who knew water, but looking at her pitiful appearance, he was a little hesitant for a while, but the hesitation was only for a moment, he quickly handed Yang Qinghe into the hands of a mother-in-law, and advised: "This is the county lord of Qinghe, be careful." ”

The mother-in-law didn't dare to be careless when she heard that it was the county lord of Qinghe, so she hurriedly took it: "The slave will take care of the county lord carefully." ”

Wen Ziran deserved it, and saw Mu Mingluo holding Mu Mingxiao standing on the side of the boat, and the two looked at him with teary eyes, so he asked again: "Have you seen Mingshu?" ”

Mu Mingxiao's head shook like a rattle: "No, I haven't seen the big sister yet." ”

Wen Ziran's eyes sank and he re-entered the water, but after a while, he resurfaced, and some people saw that his face was pale and his lips were purple, obviously he had been in the water for too long and his physical strength was exhausted, so he threw a rope down from the boat.

"Let's come up first."

Wen Ziran is really exhausted, it is still March, although it is the spring season, but he still feels cold, he has been tossing in the water for a long time, he has already barely supported, and it is not hypocritical to see someone throw down the rope.

Before the general got on the splint, Mu Mingluo and Mu Mingxiao surrounded him, one by two with tears in their eyes.

Wen Ziran shook her head with a white face, but comforted the two of them: "Don't worry too much, I'm afraid that I won't find out for a while if I rescued it." ”

He comforted them in this way and comforted himself in this way, but his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.

The rescue ships of the major provinces rushed over, and the big ships could still drive back the way they came, and if the ships were damaged, they evacuated the people to other boats, or carried them back in small boats.

Liu was anxious to get on fire on the shore, but he couldn't do anything, he saw the returning ship from a distance, and his heart became more and more anxious, the four children of the Mu family were all on the boat, and he didn't know what happened to them.

Wen Ziran led Mu Mingluo and Mu Mingxiao back safe and sound in wet clothes, Mu Mingxiao was young, and when she saw Liu, she hugged her and cried, and Mu Mingluo also cried.

Liu's eyes were already red, and when he saw Wen Ziran's face was pale, he was wet and hurriedly asked, "Are you injured?" ”

Wen Ziran shook his head, his face still not good.

Liu didn't see Mu Mingshu, so he asked again: "Why didn't Mingshu come with you?" ”

Mu Mingluo turned his head to look at Wen Ziran, and without saying a word, his tears flowed more and more.

Mu Mingxiao, who pounced on Liu's body, cried and sobbed, and said vaguely: "Big sister, big sister is gone......"

What does it mean that the big sister is missing?

Liu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned black when everyone was defenseless, and he fell straight down.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while, Mu Mingluo and Mu Mingxiao were little girls who had never been in the world, and they were already at a loss for what to do if such a big thing happened in just one hour.

Suddenly, everything was pressed on Wen Ziran, and I saw that he ordered his mother-in-law to help Liu into the tent in an orderly manner, and led Mu Mingluo and Mu Mingxiao to walk behind together. After the mother-in-law placed Liu on the bed in the tent, she checked her pulse again, and saw that there was nothing to do, and then she got up and changed into clean clothes.

The people from Prince De's Mansion came up to inquire once, but someone did not come back, and when he heard the name of the county lord of Xianhui, the person frowned and left, but there was no news for a long time.

instructed the little servant to find Mu Li, and told Mu Mingluo to take care of the Liu family and watch Mu Mingxiao, Wen Ziran went out with steps.

The rescue outside has now been replaced by salvage, and Zhao Qian, the youngest son of Prince De, is directing his subordinates to act, and when he saw Wen Ziran coming forward, he only gave his hand. This Zhao Qian knew Wen Ziran, and he had received his life-saving grace, but at this time, the situation was urgent, and he had no time to greet Wen Ziran.

Wen Ziran didn't care much, just stood there quietly, his eyes exploring the water. Just now, he had already asked someone to inquire, a boatload of people all fell into the water, and most of them were rescued, but there were still several who did not know their whereabouts, in addition to Mu Mingshu, the county lord of Xianhui, there were also Zhao Yiheng, the king of Rui, and Bai Youling, the sixth girl of the Bai family, and three other girls, two sons and brothers, all of whom were nowhere to be found.

Time slowly passed by the fingertips, and those who came to the spring banquet with joy all hurriedly retreated. The sun was still a little fierce at noon, but Wen Ziran didn't feel it at all when he stood on the riverbank, but there were bursts of cold air all over his body.

When Mu Li hurried over, Liu had already sobered up, and when he saw him, he cried out and beat his chest with self-blame: "It's all my fault, I don't take a good look at the children's ......"

Mu Li was worried about Mu Mingshu's affairs, and only briefly comforted the Liu family, and then called his cronies to send the mother and daughter back to the house.

From the day of sunrise to sunset, to the sky on the moon, and then to the dawn, even Emperor Jiawen was alarmed, and specially dispatched people to increase the search range, or maybe the salvage range. A day and a night passed, and the salvaged people on the moat changed shift after shift, and there was not a single living person, but three cold corpses were fished up, two men and one woman, all soaked white.

When the white cloth was uncovered, Wen Ziran's movements were very stiff, and a big stone was pressed against his heart, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Fortunately, fortunately, that person is not Mu Mingshu, but at the same time, his heart is relieved but he is getting tighter and tighter, the longer time passes, the smaller the chance of survival.

At noon on the second day, Emperor Jiawen sent an edict from the palace that he wanted to see people alive and corpses when he died. The salvaged ships stretched from the moat to the downstream, and the search area became wider and wider, but everyone did not let up in the slightest.

Until the next night, someone found a female corpse pecked by birds in a reed bush downstream, and the corpse was full of pitholes and pits that had been pecked by birds, none of which were intact, and the face could not be seen clearly, and there was no sign on the body, and even the clothes on the body were in tatters, soaked in the river for too long, and even the original color could not be distinguished, and a pair of guizi-green embroidered shoes were found not far from the reeds.

Wen Ziran stared at the pair of guizi-green embroidered shoes, holding his chest for a long time and panting, his face was pale and terrifying, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Mu Li, who was beside him, obviously felt the change in him, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wen Ziran only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and only suppressed it after half a sound, and said with difficulty: "Those shoes, yes, Mingshu." ”

For the Spring Festival banquet on March 3, the Liu family specially cut new clothes for the three girls in the Mu Mansion, and Mu Mingshu didn't like the red clothes prepared by the Liu family, so he changed into a green chest Ruijin skirt. For this matter, Liu also said two words about Mu Mingshu, and the reason why Wen Ziran remembered these shoes was because when Liu trained Mu Mingshu, she pretended to be attentive on her face, and a pair of small Guizi green embroidered shoes embroidered with plum blossoms under the long skirt were drawing circles on the bluestone floor tiles.

At that time, Wen Ziran suddenly saw these shoes, and thought to himself, are the girl's feet so small?
