Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dangers in the Water
Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the three people on board quickly grabbed the side of the boat and did not dare to move.
"What's going on?"
Governor Wang looked nervously at the man holding the boat, while looking at the turbulent water.
Before the man could speak, the boat shook violently again, but fortunately they clung to the side of the ship, otherwise they would have to fall on their heels.
"I'm sorry, three, the river is too fast, but it's okay, you just hold on to it."
The man comforted the three of them while controlling the direction of the hull, fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and a pair of eyes staring at the water tightly.
Wen Xi also pulled Xiang Jiuling tightly at the first time, for fear that she would be thrown off by this strength.
Although Xiang Jiuling can swim, she is still a little nervous when she looks at the turbulent river, but Wen Xi's quiet action still warms her heart, it turns out that this is the feeling of being cared for.
As soon as this warmth came out, Xiang Jiuling suddenly saw something that seemed to pass over the surface of the water, "No, there is something in the water!" ”
Several people were startled by her voice, and hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, the boat shook violently again, and this time it was obvious that it was hit by something, which made everyone nervous.
"This ...... There's something in this water, and I don't know what it is. ”
The man seemed to have encountered this situation for the first time, and his face also showed a nervous look, but he still tried to stabilize his mind, "I...... It's also the first time I've encountered this situation, the river used to be very quiet, and every time we crossed the river, it was fine! ”
Hearing this, Xiang Jiuling guessed in his heart that this thing in the river should have a lot to do with the water this time, and this time the water rose and I don't know what rushed out into the river, and they were also unlucky, why were they encountered!
Wen Xi has been observing the movement of the water surface, at this time the water surface has calmed down a lot, and the thing does not know where it has gone, he also understands water, and he used to go down to the river with his brothers to catch fish when he was in the military camp, and he has never encountered this situation.
"Brother Wen, did you see anything?"
Wang Zhifu looked at Wen Xi a little nervously, and regretted his decision to take the waterway in his heart, after all, although it was a little farther to take the mountain road, it should not encounter this situation, and it was better to delay time than to die.
"I can't see clearly, I don't know what it is, but if I can make such a big movement, it must be a big guy!"
As soon as these words came out, the people on the boat instantly became nervous, and quickly found a better place to stabilize their figures, and even the man who was holding the boat clenched the oars in his hand.
Then the man apparently quickened his rowing, moving as far away from the deep water as possible, keeping his eyes glued to the surface of the water, fearing that the terrible thing would attack the hull again.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Governor Wang's eyes suddenly widened, staring closely at a bulging water not far away, only to see that thing quickly crashed towards their boat.
With a "bang", the boat was hit hard, which was bigger than the previous movements, and the whole ship almost overturned.
Wang Zhifu just breathed a sigh of relief to support his body, and suddenly hurried the boat was slammed, he panicked and wanted to grab the side of the boat, but only felt that his feet slipped, and he fell off the boat with a plop.
The man hurriedly held on to the oars to stabilize the boat, "Oh no, he fell!" ”
Wen Xi, who was tightly protecting Xiang Jiuling, also reacted when he heard the voice, Wen Xi jumped down without saying a word, and Xiang Jiuling didn't even pull it.
The turbulent water was still choppy, Xiang Jiuling hurriedly lay on the side of the boat and stared at the turbid water tightly, nervous in his heart, and silently prayed in his heart that Wen Xi and the Wang Governor's Mansion would never have an accident.
This kind of mood is the first time Xiang Jiuling has appeared here, in the past, those problems seemed to her to be easy to solve, but this time she deeply felt her powerlessness, and now she can't do anything, she can only sit on the boat and wait anxiously.
The three guests went down to two, and the man quickly stabilized the hull and looked at the river nervously.
Wang Zhifu didn't know the nature of water, and he was too panicked when he fell, he opened his mouth and wanted to call for help but choked on several mouthfuls of river water, he tried to stabilize his body, but after his body entered the water, he didn't listen to his own call at all, he wanted to surface but kept sinking.
The water rushed the struggling Wang Zhifu one after another, but fortunately Wen Xi came down fast enough, and found the location of the Wang Zhifu at the first time, seeing that he had been struggling desperately, he quickly swam over and held the person up from behind, at this time the Wang Zhifu also had no strength to struggle, and Wen Xi still grabbed him tightly from behind.
"Alright, someone has caught it!"
The man also noticed the situation behind him, and was relieved to see that Wen Xi had caught the Wang Governor's Mansion, if Wen Xi's movements just now were a little slower, the Wang Governor's Mansion would not know where it would be washed by the current.
Xiang Jiuling also saw this scene, and the heart in his eyes instantly fell back when he mentioned it.
"Brother Wen, come back quickly!"
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw the dark shadow not far from Wen Xi and Wang Zhifu, Xiang Jiuling's eyes widened violently!
"Come back, that thing is on your right!"
Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but shout at Wen Xi, who was dragging the prefect of Wang's mansion to swim this way, only hating that she didn't have a pair of wings to fly over to save people now, this was the first time she was so anxious and scared.
Wen Xi, who heard her voice, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to look at that thing at this time, so he quickly sped up and swam towards the boat, and now he didn't know what it was, he didn't have any way to fight against that thing underwater.
The man here also saw this situation, and hurriedly overtook the boat and leaned in the direction of Wen Xi and the others.
Xiang Jiuling was in a hurry, and finally found a hemp rope on the boat, and hurriedly threw it in the direction of Wen Xi, because she found that Wen Xi's movements were getting slower and slower, and it was obvious that she had consumed a lot of physical strength, after all, there was resistance in this water, and swimming was a very physically demanding behavior.
Fortunately, the rope thrown by Xiang Jiuling was caught by Wen Xi, who was still insisting, and the other side was quickly tied to the boat, and Wen Xi moved forward more than half of the way by pulling the rope.
Wen Xi in the water was physically and mentally exhausted, and the two people on the boat were also nervous, seeing people getting closer and closer, but the black things not far away were also getting closer.
"Quick, pull Lord Wang up first!"
Finally arrived at the side of the boat, Wen Xi dragged the Wang Governor's Mansion under the water and sent it to the boat, Xiang Jiuling and the man hurriedly helped pull people, the boat was shaking and not using force at all, and the two finally pulled the Wang Governor's Mansion, who had fallen into a coma, to the boat.
