Wen Xi under the water has lost her strength, Xiang Jiuling saw that the black thing was getting closer and closer, she could even see that the fish looked like a catfish, but the size of the fish was estimated to be the size of a big buffalo, and it had obviously lived for many years, I am afraid that this flood washed it down from somewhere.

It stands to reason that this fish does not attack people, and it is likely that it has become ferocious due to fear in unfamiliar waters.

"Brother Wen, come on, I'll pull you up!"

Seeing that the fish was getting closer and closer, Xiang Jiuling couldn't pull Wen Xi, she was getting more and more panicked, and her mind was also running rapidly.

What to do?

There was not enough time for her to come up with a perfect solution, and at the moment when the fish approached the side of the hull, Xiang Jiuling took out the dagger she had been hiding from her sleeve and stabbed it fiercely.

"Knock" set off a splash, and the boat was also shaken violently, fortunately, Xiang Jiuling had already tied Wen Xi with a rope so that he was not washed away, but the turbid water was stained red with blood, it seems that Xiang Jiuling's knife injury was not light.

The fish fled to the water in pain, Xiang Jiuling and the man hurriedly pulled Wen Xi up, Wen Xi was lying on the boat panting at this time, and his whole body was already prostration, especially when his hands were sore, he couldn't lift it.

"How is it, is Lord Wang okay?"

Wen Xi relieved for a while, and the first thing he asked was the prefect Wang, after all, he was the one who risked his life to save him, if he didn't have it, wouldn't he suffer in vain?

"This adult is fine, but he was choked on the water, and he vomited the water just now!"

"That fish was injured by me just now, I don't know what it will attract with so much blood, we have to leave quickly, it's best to find the nearest place to dock!"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the silence around them was a little scary, and they had to leave quickly.

Yu Xiang Jiuling took care of the two people who had collapsed, and the man hurriedly slid the sculls to quickly drive the boat away from this area, and the road behind was a lot smoother, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief, it was really enough to toss in such a toss.

"Girl, it's here!"

At this time, it was already dark, and the fire not far in front was particularly conspicuous, and the man on this road was still very familiar, and soon brought the boat to the shore.

Here the prefect of the Wang Mansion has woken up slowly, Wen Xi has almost recovered his strength, the three of them packed up their things and got off the boat and gave money, after this toss just now, they all had some palpitations, Xiang Jiuling saw that it was not easy for this boatman to live, and gave him a little more things, and the man was grateful.

"Okay, let's find a place to rest, the clothes on both of you are wet, you have to hurry up and make a fire to roast, otherwise it will be easy to get cold."

"Okay, let's go!"

Because of the delay just now, they could only rest in this forest for the night, but fortunately, Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi escaped all the way to the wilderness, and they had already adapted to the life of eating and sleeping in the open and didn't care, and the division of labor between the two found dead branches and leaves to make a fire.

The clothes on the two men went into the water and the clothes on their bodies were wet, so they sat by the fire to roast their clothes, while Xiang Jiuling took out the dry food in the bag, plus the wild vegetables found in the forest, and exchanged two packets of cold medicine from the space when the two of them were not paying attention, and prepared to wash them with water later.

"Brother Wen, I owe you a life today, and you have already saved me twice, I really don't know how to thank you!"

Thinking of what happened to him today, Wang Zhifu still couldn't believe it until now, and his gratitude to Wen Xi became deeper and deeper.

"You're welcome!"

Wen Xi just smiled, in fact, he didn't think about it so much at the time, saving people was by instinct, and then he was a little scared when he was lying on the boat, if it wasn't for Xiang Jiuling's timely action at that time, he would probably be buried directly in the belly of the fish today.

Thinking of this, Wen Xi's eyes unconsciously fell on Xiang Jiuling, who was still busy preparing food not far away, and his eyes became more and more gentle.

Governor Wang also noticed Wen Xi's gaze, and unconsciously showed a smile, "Brother Wen, I really envy that you can find such a good girl as Miss Xiang, I can't help but be brave and resourceful and be so good to you, you are so blessed!" ”

Xiang Jiuling, who was holding the charged cold medicine, happened to hear Governor Wang's words, and suddenly felt a little hot in his cheeks, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, Brother Wen, I cooked the wind and cold medicine, you should drink some of the cold on your body first." ”

Wen Xi hurriedly took the bowl from Xiang Jiuling's hand, and couldn't help frowning when she looked at her hot red fingers, "You just put it there and call me to go over and serve it, don't burn it!" ”

"I'm fine!"

Seeing Wen Xi's distressed daughter-in-law's appearance, Wang Zhifu laughed heartily, but Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi were a little embarrassed, although they were nominally husband and wife, but the relationship between the two had not progressed to that point so far.

The three of them ate some dry food and dried meat, and drank some wild vegetable soup before they felt all their strength, and rested by the fire.

Xiang Jiuling had just closed her eyes when she suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away, she opened her eyes suddenly, just in time to see Wen Xi, who was also vigilant.

The two glanced at each other, looked at the place where the sound came from, and maintained a sleeping position.

After a while, the rustle sounded again, and the two of them quickly saw through the light of the fire that three or five dark shadows were approaching in their direction.

Looking at their dress, it is likely that they are refugees fleeing the famine, and they are likely to sneak over when they saw the fire here, but they don't know what they want to do.

"Stop!"

Seeing that the nearest person was about to touch them, Wen Xi couldn't help but stand up anymore, staring at them tightly with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Governor Wang had already woken up, and when he saw Wen Xi getting up, he no longer pretended, and looked at the few people who were approaching, "You guys...... Are you the ones who fled the wilderness? ”

Governor Wang's Mansion took in many displaced people who fled from the famine in Lin Jincheng, and he was very familiar with their dress, and quickly recognized their identities.

"We ...... We are all villagers who fled the famine after this flood, and we have been living in this forest for more than half a month...... Who are you? ”

These homeless people finally picked up a life and fled to this mountain, lived for half a month, basically ate almost everything in this mountain forest, and was so hungry that they couldn't stand it to find food, and happened to see the fire here, so they thought about taking advantage of their sleep to grab something to eat, but they didn't expect it......

"Brother, they ...... They have something to eat! ”

"Brother, I'm so hungry!"

As soon as they saw the dry food exposed in the baggage of a few people, several homeless people instantly turned red, if it weren't for the two young and strong men, they would probably have rushed over and grabbed them.
