Turbid rapids swirled in circles, with occasional decaying wood flowing through. Looking up, the sky was clear and clear, but the surface of the lake was turbulent, and people were shaky when they stood on the boat, and this situation lasted for nearly half an hour, and the water calmed down a little.

"If it weren't for the fact that the situation was really out of control! The officials of the imperial court categorically did not dare to order the flood discharge so arbitrarily. In this way, in the past few days of our voyage in Luoshui, the upstream area is afraid that it has suffered a great disaster. ”

Speaking of this, even Bai Wulan could only shake his head helplessly, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not ordinary people!" If it is peaceful and prosperous, there is also the imperial court that can quickly rescue the disaster and settle the victims. Now, Emperor Feng is directly hiding in the palace for pleasure, indulging in alchemy, and continuing to dream of immortality, hehe, how can you count on it! ”

Luo Lingzhi pursed her lips, "It's not all useless for you officials. ”

Bai Wulan touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Luo Niangzi, you can't say that, there are indeed useless people like Jiang Mao in the imperial court who have no practical talents, but our Huainan is still very good." In the future, you and Xiao Shizi and Xiao County Lord will know when they return to Huainan that the people of Huainan will have no problem with food and clothing, if nothing else. ”

This is the first time that Bai Wulan has called Dabao and Nannan in front of Luo Lingzhi as the little prince and the little county lord.

Luo Lingzhi's eyes flashed, thinking of the sworn enemy who was still unconscious in the space, but he didn't refute it.

Forget it, the sworn enemy can risk his life to save Dabao and Nannan, and it is okay to call him Daddy.

"Now that the water is calm, we should hurry forward and sail overnight, and who knows what will happen to us. It's better to find a place to dock early. ”

Luo Lingzhi directly skipped the topic just now, looked at the lake that was gradually returning to calm, and said his plan.

Bai Wulan saw that Luo Lingzhi didn't mention the topic he had just talked about returning to Huainan, and knew that this Luo lady was afraid that she would not have the idea of going to Huainan in a short time, so she simply didn't press it, nodded and said: "I asked Zhao Feihu and the escorted officials, one of them is a water bandit who robbed in Luoshui, and the other is a road that went to Zhangnan for exile several times, and he is still very familiar with the route. Sixty or seventy miles further southeast you will reach the annex of Sichuan City, and if you travel quickly at night, you will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning. ”

Bai Wulan's plan was also to hurry at night, otherwise if the upstream saw a flood discharge, it would not be able to alleviate the grim situation at all, and if all the other floodgates were opened, all the floods upstream would be sent down as if they were not going to die, but they were afraid that all the surrounding areas would be flooded.

When the water calmed down, the boatman hung up the white sails again, and everyone took turns rowing.

When the sky was dark, the land was faintly visible thousands of meters away, and the lake was still dark, with only sporadic morning light sprinkled on the water level ahead.

Whoa, whoa......

The oars lapped against the lake, making a splash.

Knock –

Suddenly, one of the boatmen felt the oars touch something, and climbed up the ladder to open the window above, but the lake was so dark that he couldn't see what was in it.

"Zhao Su, hurry up and row the boat, what are you doing climbing up?"

A rower immediately asked.

Zhao Su looked at the lake again, but still didn't see anything, so he climbed down the stairs again, re-grasped the oar he rowed, and said suspiciously: "I seem to have touched something just now, it feels heavy, not like a small thing." ”

"What can there be? I'm afraid that the fish in the river have been cleaned up a long time ago, and I can't get lucky enough to encounter a big fish? Oops, I'm afraid you're delusional......"

Because of the non-stop rowing day and night, in addition to the original few boatmen, a group of honest and obedient boatmen were drawn from the exiles to follow the rowing, and gave them food, and a little money. This Zhao Su was originally taking care of Xie Yi, and the other party was much better and didn't need him to follow him all the time, so he took this job if he wanted to save more money.

He is serious, honest and obedient, and other people have a good relationship with him, and when he heard him say that he encountered something, he made a joke, but he didn't think that he Zhao Su really encountered anything.

Zhao Su blinked, he did touch it just now.

And it's not like a hard object like rotten wood, but like a ......

"I, I think I've touched something......

Just as everyone was talking and laughing to relieve their tiredness and continue to work, another person also swallowed his saliva and said nervously, he was obviously less timid than Zhao Su, and his pale face could be seen clearly in the dim light.

Don't wait for everyone to wonder.

The man stammered, "Like, like a human." ”

"People?"

At this moment, everyone couldn't calm down, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Su, "Does the thing you just encountered look like a person?" ”

Zhao Su hesitated for a moment and nodded honestly, "The feeling of the oar touching it and the strength to rebound is indeed like a person." After all, as you just said, there are no fish in this lake, and I am afraid that something of this size is only human. ”

Gollum ...... Gollum ......

Dozens of people all swallowed nervously and looked at each other.

A person immediately climbed up the stairs, "I'm afraid this matter is not small, I'll go tell Master Gu." ”

——

After a while, the deck was brightly lit.

Gu Huaiyi came out with his hair draped, the boots on his feet were still carried by Gu Mi behind him, and while putting on his boots neatly, Gu Huaiyi leaned directly over and looked at the lake, dozens of torches illuminated the surroundings in detail, and saw a corpse floating in the deep lake.

There was a breeze blowing, and Gu Huaiyi's green hair was blown around, making that cold face a little more bewitching, but his face was cold, and the chill in his eyes could condense the surrounding air into frost.

"Salvage it and see what happens."

Gu Huaiyi said in a deep voice, they had never encountered such a situation in the three or five days of sailing before, how could a corpse suddenly appear in Luoshui now. If you encounter robbers, there should be traces, this is the downstream of Luoshui, the water is gentle, it should be a big deal for the corpse to be washed here, how can there be no reaction around......

Gu Huaiyi was full of confusion, and only felt that things were unusual.

"There's one over there."

Luo Lingzhi was originally cultivating, and after hearing the movement, he also hurried to the deck, and he didn't need to investigate with his ability, and he could see several corpses in the dark and dark green lake with only the naked eye.

The corpse that was seen by Gu Huaiyi first had been fished up, although it was soaked in the lake water and it was impossible to distinguish its appearance, but it could be seen that it was a young woman, and what made everyone breathe even more was that this person's stomach was still bulging.

Obviously a pregnant woman!

Without waiting for everyone to be surprised, Bai Wulan looked at him even more solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Look ahead!" ”

Everyone looked up, and their faces suddenly changed.
