Chapter Seventy-One: Life and Death Are in Danger
At the moment of birth or death, Zhou Ye didn't think about it so much. The body was like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, a few ups and downs, landed on the giant tree, reached out and carried the hugging bear on the branch in his hand.
The giant tree was in the water, and it was seen that it would not sink to the bottom for a while, so Yu Ye stood on it and did not rush to leave.
The rescued man was still unconscious, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, the giant tree slowly moved downstream with the mudslide, and while paying attention to the situation around him, he patted the man's face, "Hey, wake up." ”
The man gradually came to his senses, looked at Yu Ye in a daze, and was about to say "You saved me", but immediately noticed the situation under his feet, and swallowed the words back into his stomach, and said desperately: "This little brother, you better put me down, hurry up and find a way to escape." ”
He didn't care to answer his words, and asked urgently: "Let me ask you, did you fall from this mountain?" ”
"Yes. The mountain collapsed. The man wailed, tears of despair.
"Is there anyone else on the mountain? Did an Aqi prince come to this mountain? ”
"Lord Qi? Are you here to find Lord Qi? ”
Cai Yexin raised his throat, and his hand couldn't help but grasp the man's clothes: "Have you seen him?" Did he come to this mountain? What about others? ”
Through the faint morning light, you can see that Yan Ye's face is terrifyingly white, the man is trembling with fright, and he is stumbling when he speaks: "I, I have seen Lord Qi, but ...... The prince of Keqi is gone. ”
Yan Ye frowned deeply: "Gone?" ”
"Qi Wangye came here to save us with a small boat, but there were ten people on the mountain, and Qi Wangye's small boat couldn't carry so many people at all, so he had no choice but to divide it into two batches, and Qi Wangye carried five people to go first, who knows, after a meal, the mountain collapsed."
Ye Ye's heart tightened for a while. There are mud and rocks everywhere in the eye, and if the harm of these mud and stones is undoubtedly the most harmful to the downstream. There was not much time for a meal, and he really didn't dare to think about where Su Yuqi and their boat could go.
It's almost dawn, and when you look around, in addition to the rolling mudslide, there is still a rolling mudslide. In this situation, I am a little difficult to protect myself, so how can I go to Su Yuqi.
But you can't give up no matter what.
The tree under his feet went straight downstream, and the further he went, the more he rolled with the surging flood, and he suddenly realized that this was going to the depths of the Lanjiang River, and he could no longer follow this tree forward.
There were debris such as wood and trees in the flood, and the man clamped under his armpit, and took advantage of the morning light to discern the direction, leaned in to lift his breath, and landed under his feet with those debris, and turned his head to run in the other direction.
The flood was raging, and his figure looked like a heron on the river, very small, but also very fierce. After dozens of ups and downs, his strength was also extremely exhausted, and there was still a person under his arm, and there were injuries on his body. Looking around, but still unable to see the edge.
Suddenly, he saw a boat floating towards him in the flood. After a closer look, the person standing at the bow of the boat was Yan Fang.
The two of them rose and fell, and landed on the bow of the boat, and Yan Fang was ecstatic: "Childe! ”
Zhou Ye rested the man under his armpit who was already paralyzed with fright on the plank, took a breath, looked at Yan Fang's muddy water, frowned, and said, "Why are you back again?" Is this muddy water overboard? ”
Yan Fang's face was ashamed: "Cough, don't mention it, I was worried about Childe, so I chased after it, but unfortunately my light skills were not as powerful as Childe, and I fell into the water halfway through the chase, but fortunately, our boat was also brought here by the mudslide, and I was saved." ”
Dish Ye nodded, looked around, the sky was getting brighter, and the situation in front of him was clear. The ocean could not be seen at a glance, the undercurrent was swirling, and the water was full of rotting corpses and trees.
According to the information received, it has been 10 days since the first day of heavy rain, and the Lanjiang River burst its levee six days ago, because of the rain from time to time in the middle, coupled with the inaction of officials in the nearby state capital, the flood has not been effectively controlled, not to mention the animals, even fish, shrimp and crabs, and countless people have died.
The dead bodies of men are innumerable.
But after some tossing, Dish Ye calmed down.
His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and after a while, he had made a decision in his heart, but this decision was too rational and cruel for him, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "In this situation, if Su Yuqi is still alive, there will be a time to meet, if he has been killed, I will find him just a corpse." I don't know how many people are still trapped in the flood, so the first thing now is to find the living people trapped in the flood. Of course, if you are scared, you can choose to disembark at the next safe place. ”
"Naturally, we are following Childe!"
Yan Ye had expected Yan Fang to say this, so he didn't say anything. Even, he didn't give any strong orders to let them leave at the beginning.
"Good. Now, let's confirm the direction and search on the periphery of the Lanjiang River. ”
"But there is no reference for us to discern the direction at the moment." Yan Fang is embarrassed.
"Not really. Let me ask you, what is the flow of the Lanjiang River? ”
Yan Fang was immediately clear, and said in surprise: "The Lanjiang River flows from south to north, and you can tell the direction by looking at the water flow!" Such a simple question is so complicated for me! ”
Cai Ye said: "The direction we came from is in Jiangdong, and now we can't go with the water anymore, we should go east and turn the bow of the boat." ”
Under the rapids, it was extremely difficult to turn the bow of the boat, and Ye Ye still helped Yan Fang to turn the bow of the boat to the east with the help of internal force.
Whenever there is a high ground along the way, he will go up to investigate and make sure that no one will continue to move forward, and someone will naturally rescue people to the ship.
In fact, after so many days, even if they were not swept away by the flood, there would still be sick and weak people starved to death, and very few people survived.
A few people were rescued along the way.
There was no food, water or medicine on board, and the people who were saved could not be treated for a while. After walking for a while, the rain gradually became heavier again, and Cai Ye had already gained the upper hand of reason at this time, and ordered Yan Fang to move the boat to a safe place.
Half an hour later, I saw a house appear, and although it was all soaked in water, it had not collapsed yet. Further, the water was only about three feet deep. He ordered the boat to find a shallow place to dock and let the victims on board get off the boat first.
The boat quickly docked, and Yan Fang and the brothers in the Xuxin Pavilion helped the people on the boat to get off the boat.
The place in front of me was a village, which had long been empty, and the villagers had taken refuge, but the village had not yet been flooded. Everyone looked for a big family that looked like it was quite good, placed people in it, and ordered Ye Ye: "All the expenses must be recorded, and when the family comes back, they will be compensated together." ”
Yan Fang agreed, passed the word to the victims who wanted to live here, and instructed: "Don't mess around with anything in the village, and if you need it, you must record it." Offenders are punished as theft. You don't have to worry about what to do in the future, with our son and Prince Qi here, everyone will definitely have a place to live and something to eat. ”
Yan Fang made the arrangements, returned to Yu Ye's side, and said, "Childe, the rain is heavy again, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the flood will be difficult to control." ”
"Contact the brothers in Jiangzhou and see how many more people are coming here to gather."
Zhou Ye commanded. Yan Fang agreed, but did not leave immediately, looked at Yu Ye, and said, "Master, you still have injuries on your body, I will contact my brother, you better bake the wet clothes on your body first, otherwise, the wound will be infected again." ”
"Well, okay, there you go."
Yan Fang agreed, and Yan Fang was relieved to send a signal.
Yan Fang went to send the signal, he gathered the people of Xuxin Pavilion again, and told them to go to the village to see if there were any boats left by the fishermen.
The Lanjiang fishery is well developed, and there are many fishermen, so if it is expected, there should be fishermen in the village, and if there are fishermen, there will be boats.
After instructing the people, Zhou Ye went to a room alone, closed the door, untied the placket, and checked the wound.
I saw that the wound was all soaked white and swollen, and the scabs that had formed had been soaked off, leaving only faint white flesh.
This injury is really full of twists and turns.
He closed his shirt and looked around the room, looking for something to clean his wounds. This room is a bedroom, and the things in the room are neatly arranged, which shows that the family was not in a hurry when they left.
He found a clean white cloth, wiped the wound clean, pulled a strip of cloth, wrapped the wound, tied a knot, even if he had treated the wound, rearranged the coat, and left the room.
The brothers had already returned, and sure enough, they found two fishing boats in the villager's house and carried them back. But the rain outside did not decrease, and he stood under the eaves of the porch, looking at the dripping eaves of the rain, thinking that Su Yuqi's life and death were uncertain, and the people of Jiangzhou were dead and fleeing, but at this time, there was a boat that could not be launched, and he was as anxious as a fire.
Yan Fang sent out a signal, and a quarter of an hour later there was a response, and nearby, a team of brothers from the Zhuxin Pavilion sent a signal of response to them, which was only five or six miles away.
He pondered for a moment and said, "When they come, you take them downstream, the little prince should send someone to dredge the river downstream, and you go to help them." ”
"What about you?" After Yan Fang learned the dish Ye who was desperate to find Su Yuqi, what he was most afraid of at the moment was what kind of stupid thing the dish Ye would do.
"You carry out the order, that is, you don't care about what you shouldn't do." He knew that Yan Fang was dedicated to him, but he didn't have a proper answer for him, so he could only come up with a pair of bosses.
Yan Fang knew that what he was most afraid of was about to happen, but it was difficult to stop Pan Ye on his own, so he could only strive to say: "The subordinates don't want to overstep the courtesy, it's just that the current situation is so critical, and the subordinates are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it, so please ask the pavilion master and the subordinates to go together." ”
