Chapter 70: Driftwood in the Sea
The sight is not good at night, and the big ship is not flexible enough, and there is a danger of capsizing whenever there are broken walls and ruins blocking the way. Such a turbulent and hidden water flow of all kinds of dangers, once it falls into the water, even a person with extremely high kung fu will be extremely difficult to escape.
Standing at the bow of the boat, looking ahead, he didn't dare to slack off for a while.
There are floating corpses on the water from time to time, after several days of soaking, they have been swollen and rotten, exuding a foul smell, and they don't have time to care about this, just thinking about finding Su Yuqi quickly.
According to those people's words, Su Yuqi was on the edge of the Lanjiang River at this time, which was still far from the Lanjiang River, and the situation was already so bad, I am afraid that the edge of the Lanjiang River would be more than a hundred times worse.
The scene of a flat boat haunting the turbulent river comes to mind, the night is like dyed ink, and the shadow of the boat is not even visible on the vast river, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the bottomless rapids.
One of the people under Ye Ye came to the bow of the boat and said, "Pavilion Master, isn't Miss Yin here?" I don't know what happened to her and her brothers? Look, would you like to contact her? "This person is the highest-ranking one among the people sent by Meng Qi, and he is also one of the heart envoys, surnamed Yan Mingfang.
Yan Ye's identity was secret, so his subordinate Yan Fang also deliberately concealed his identity when he spoke.
Yan Ye looked at the night, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, "In this situation, it is not easy for them to protect themselves, so don't contact them." If they can save themselves, they will definitely find a way to save others. Don't let them waste their time on other things anymore. β
"Yes."
"Send a message to Meng Qi, ask him to hurry up and transport food and medicinal materials here, and send more people over." After a pause, his eyebrows frowned deeper, "The flying pigeon sent a message to King Anping and King Yunxiang to inform him of the situation here." β
Yan Fang was puzzled: "This ...... Prince Qi should be able to pass the book to them, right? β
Dish Ye sighed softly, "He, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing, you can pass on the book in my name." β
"Yes." Yan Fang turned around and went into the cabin and wrote a letter, but before he could make a cup of tea, a loud whistle sounded from the stern of the boat, followed by two birdsongs, and two birds landed on the stern. Yan Fang tied the two letters to the feet of the two birds and lowered them into the night sky with a neat movement.
With a few fluttering sounds, the two birds disappeared.
At this time, the boat encountered a turbulent current, and the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and everyone hurriedly operated the oars of the oars, and the rods of the poles, and tried their best to stabilize the hull.
Yan Fang jumped straight from the stern to the bow of the boat with an arrow step, landed beside Pan Ye, and subconsciously protected him in front of Pan Ye.
The injuries on Yu Ye's body have just healed, but in the past few days, the journey has been rushing, and the wound is faintly painful, although he did not speak, Yan Fang and the others can see it clearly, his face is much paler than when he came.
The hull of the ship shook violently enough for a cup of tea, and everyone worked together to prevent the ship from capsizing.
He stood on the bow of the boat and did not move, and when the boat stabilized, he instructed Yan Fangdao: "Find that guide." β
Yan Fang turned to the side of the boat, found the guide, and said, "Our son is looking for you, you go to the bow of the boat." β
The man couldn't say why he was for the dish, but he felt awe from the bottom of his heart, Yan Fang called him, he hurriedly came to the bow of the boat, and said, "May I ask what is the matter with the son?" β
"This brother, how far is it from Lanjiang here?"
The man took advantage of the light of the pine oil torch to look at the vast night flood in front of him for a moment, and said with a sad face: "There are floods everywhere, and it is late at night, and I don't know if the direction of the hull has changed when I pass through the whirlpool, this, I can't even distinguish the direction, the small one is only until this should be the direction to the Lanjiang River, but where is the specific location of the prince of Qi, the small one can't see it now." β
Cai Ye said: "The position of the bow of the boat has indeed changed, a little to the left, but the helmsman has corrected it, and now there is basically no error with the original driving direction." β
"That'...... Then it should be the right direction. β
"According to the time and speed of the ship, it is now twenty-five miles to the north, brother, how far is it?"
"It should be soon. The small one is in Linxian, and I am not very familiar with it, and now it is dark and blind, and the wind is rapid, and the small one can only identify an approximate location. β
The man looked embarrassed and ashamed, and he comforted him gently: "Okay, I know, you pay attention to your own safety." β
The ship went down the river rapidly, and the hull of the ship went through several dangerous situations, and there was an ocean in front of and behind him, and there was no edge in the darkness. The dreary sky was raining again, and although it was not heavy, it was drenched in a moment because of the wind. The pine oil torches on the side of the ship were extinguished by the wind and rain, and Yan Fang found a wind lantern from the cabin and hung it on the bow of the ship.
Another moment passed.
Yan Fang returned to the bow of the boat and reported: "Childe, the water here is two feet deep, and the current is much faster, it should be close to the periphery of the Lanjiang River." β
"Well, pay attention to any highlands, mountain peaks and the like along the way."
"Yes." Yan Fang paused for a moment and persuaded, "Childe, it's raining, you better go to the cabin to take shelter from the rain." β
Yan Fang was silent for a moment, and seeing that he didn't answer, he could only return to his place in frustration.
The boat went out again for about a cup of tea, and suddenly heard a faint sound, not the sound of wind and rain, nor like the sound of a house collapsing, the sound was muffled, but it seemed to be a muffled thunder, but it did not come from the sky, but from somewhere in the distance.
People who practice martial arts have outstanding hearing, much better than ordinary people, Yan Fang also heard this voice, and felt surprised in his heart, so he hurried to the bow of the boat and said hurriedly: "Childe, did you hear it?" β
"Hmm." Standing on the bow of the boat, listening carefully, he recognized that the sound came from not far ahead, and immediately took off the wind lantern hanging on the bow of the boat, and looked into the distance, the front was dark and dark, and he couldn't see anything, but he had excellent eyesight and ear, and he looked at the front of him as if it was a small mountain, and his heart was not good, and he hurriedly said: "Yan Fang, the mountain in front of me has landslided!" Back off! Fast! β
The water flow is turbulent, it is easy to go against the trend, Yan Fang immediately ordered to turn the bow of the boat against the trend, but the current was too fast, the boat made a few turns in the water, the body of the boat was half tilted, and it almost wanted to fall into the water.
Under the rapids, anchoring did not play a big role, but the boat that was about to capsize did not turn over immediately.
The water here is extremely deep, the penny more than two zhang long, will be able to touch the hard objects at the bottom of the water, with the power of this point, his body swirls in the air, his feet are infused with strong internal force, and he kicks vigorously towards the stern, the boat flies out three or four zhang on the way against the current, Yan Fang cooperates tacitly to pull up the iron anchor, and the people on both sides of the boat rowed up the oars, and with the power of the foot of the boat, it is difficult to go upstream.
The boat stabilized, but Yan Fang didn't see Yan Ye return to the boat, and hurriedly shouted: "Childe! β
I fixed my eyes and looked, but I saw that in the dark night, the figure of the fish Ye was like an eagle skimming over the water, landing on a piece of driftwood, and the penny in his hand was a little, and the driftwood rushed downstream at a very fast speed.
"Childe!" Yan Fang was anxious.
"Take them to a safe place first!"
The words came back from afar.
Yan Fang was anxious and wanted to chase after him, but he saw that the black mountain in front of him had been razed to the ground and all fell into the water, and the rumbling sound of mud and rocks entering the water was deafening.
"Find a safe place to take refuge!"
After Yan Fang finished shouting, he looked into the water, and also looked for something like a door panel, and jumped up and chased after him.
What he remembered in his heart was Su Yuqi.
According to what the guide said, the mountain in front of him was most likely the mountain that Su Yuqi was close to.
If it really is...... The consequences are unimaginable. Even if he is an iron-blooded god of war on the battlefield, he must resign himself to fate under natural disasters.
The water is turbulent, with driftwood like flying, the speed is not fast enough, the penny in his hand is very fast to point the water, and the piece of driftwood under his feet is like an arrow off the string, shuttling in the ocean under the night.
The closer I got to the hill, the faster the water flowed under my feet, the more turbid the water became, and the mud, rocks, trees, and other things began to increase in the water. It became more and more difficult to get closer, and the driftwood was sometimes blocked by obstacles, but fortunately, at this time, the sky was already light, and he was able to see the debris that was close to him and dodge it in time.
Cai Ye's body was half rain, half muddy water, already soaked, and the previous injury was soaked in water and swollen and painful, but he didn't care about this, he just hoped to find Su Yuqi soon.
In his heart, he hoped that he could find Su Yuqi sooner, and he also hoped that Su Yuqi was not on this mountainβif it was on this mountain, he was afraid that his bones would be difficult to find.
My heart has never been so uneasy and anxious as it is now.
The driftwood could no longer carry him out of danger in the mudslide, and he had to find a new place to stay in the mudslide.
He always held his breath, his body was like an eagle, rising and falling above the mudslide, and he didn't dare to let go, and he was afraid that he would be buried in the mudslide.
He wasn't worried about what would happen to him, he only remembered Su Yuqi's life and death in his heart.
The last near-death experience made him know his feelings for Su Yuqi, and this time he was involved in danger again, but it made him more aware of his true thoughts in his heart.
In the deafening voice, suddenly there was a shout! He listened carefully, and the sound came not far away, and he searched for it, and finally saw a big tree more than one person thick in the mud, and a person hung on the trunk, and the person was like a koala, hugging the tree tightly.
The man's voice was so weak that it couldn't hold out for long.
But in this situation, even if he was brought down from the tree, it would be impossible for him to escape from this vast land with him.
