Chapter 55: Friend or Foe Unknown

"Huh, do you know about the fireworks?" Chrissy asked in surprise, and smiled without waiting for Wednesday's explanation: "It's normal, with the strength of your Li family, you should be able to afford to play with these things, but I didn't expect to see them here, the last time I saw them was in Constan," she said and looked at the fireworks bombs that exploded in the sky and lost her mind slightly.

Seeing Chrissy's expression, she didn't say anything more on Wednesday, and the girl was probably homesick. But it's a pity that there is a bad brother in the family, and now there is a real family that can't be returned.

For a moment there was no word on the boat, except for the sound of oars plucking the river and the occasional sound of fish jumping out of the water and falling into the water. As for the matter of the fireworks bomb, I don't know what to say on Wednesday. The appearance of fireworks means that gunpowder has been introduced, and perhaps in the near future, ** will appear in this world?

But none of this had anything to do with Wednesday, and with the world's smelting technology, it was still a long way before guns could be fired. Besides, there is vindictiveness and magic in this world, and the lethality of guns and cannons cannot attract too many people's attention, and gunpowder may only appear in front of the world in the form of fireworks.

The boat continued to move forward, moving in the vast river, as if entering a strange and mysterious world, and even Lindsay and Kun, who were rowing, slowed down their oars a little, as if unwilling to break the tranquility of this world.

After walking for more than half an hour, Wednesday suddenly stood up and listened with a wary face.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wednesday's expression, Chrissy's expression also changed, along the way, if Wednesday made such a move, it must have found something abnormal, so her heart also lifted.

At this point, Dandan, too, sensed something, jumped on Wednesday's shoulder and squeaked at the upper reaches of the river.

Wednesday reached out and touched the little Dandan's head, signaling it to calm down, then pulled out his ring knife and squinted at the depths of the water vapor, as if there was an ancient beast there.

A few minutes later, there was a shout, as if looking for someone.

Is it looking for yourself? Wednesday frowned at Lin Circuit: "Speed up, avoid those people." ”

Without saying a word, the two brothers and sisters rowed the oars vigorously, and the boat flew over the water, leaving behind a long wave, which in an instant turned into a sparkling wave.

Wednesday didn't care about the beauty on the water, but stared at the depths of the water vapor, not only his feelings, but also the movement of the little Dandan. Although he didn't scream, his movements were exaggerated, jumping up and down on Wednesday's shoulder, one paw pointing vigorously at the water, as if something had been struck.

There was something on the water, as if it were a plank floating down the river upstream, but it seemed to be heavy and fast, and it was coming straight towards Wednesday's boat.

"There's someone in the water," Chrissy stood up in surprise.

Wednesday looked at the plank that was getting closer and closer, and also saw two people in the water. Under the reflection of the water surface, I couldn't see the faces of the people in the water at all, but I saw two people, one lying motionless on the plank, and one holding the plank with one hand and paddling vigorously with the other.

Chrissy nervously stood up and leaned over to Wednesday's side, "Save or not?"

Wednesday was also a little worried, these two people were obviously the target of a group of people upstream, if they were saved, they would definitely get into trouble, but if they were not saved, they would not be able to do it. If Margaret was around, she would definitely let Wednesday save people without saying a word, while Chrissy was much more sensible, and knew that this was the time when she couldn't protect herself, and saving people was almost equivalent to suicide.

But before Wednesday could speak, the man in the water suddenly grabbed the man lying on the plank and threw it at the boat, while shouting in a low voice: "Help, I will give you a lot of money." ”

Wednesday reflexively caught the person who was thrown over, the tentacles were wet, but with a faint fragrance and softness. It's a woman, this is Wednesday's first reaction, and then look at the face of the woman in her arms, Wednesday's face changed suddenly, and she said to Lin Track: "Hurry up!"

The Jenfany siblings had never seen such a fierce expression on Wednesday, and reflexively accelerated the speed of rowing again.

The man in the water saw Wednesday's reaction, and didn't seem to expect Wednesday to do this, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, I have a lot of money, stop it," Seeing that Wednesday's boat showed no signs of stopping, he said sharply: "You can't run away, the river is surrounded by our people," while shouting while speeding up the paddling, the speed that burst out for a while was faintly showing signs of catching up with the boat.

Wednesday put down the woman in his arms, then took out a spare big sword and threw it out with enough internal force, and went straight to the person in the water like a meteor.

Wednesday's behavior was not only startled by the people in the water, but even the two siblings Chrissy and Jenvernie didn't know why he did it? Could it be that the people in the water were bad people? Or were they enemies?

But Wednesday's fierce sword did not cause any damage to the people in the water, because when the big sword was about to pierce the people in the water, he raised a big sword and knocked Wednesday's big sword away at once.

However, Wednesday's goal was achieved, which was to successfully slow down the speed of the man in the water, so that his swimming speed was slowed down a lot. And in this instant, the distance between the boat and the people in the water has been widened by more than twenty meters.

At this time, the boat was going down the river, and the Jenvenie siblings rowed desperately, and the boat had a light and shallow draft, so it quickly threw the people in the water away.

At this time, Wednesday was relieved, because he knew that without special training, the average person would not be able to stay in the water for too long, especially if the water temperature was relatively low. The current temperature of the river is about 10 degrees, which is more than 20 degrees different from the body temperature of normal people. In this case, the person's body temperature will drop quickly, and the heat in the body will also be lost quickly.

Wednesday himself had a clear feeling that when he was in the water, he was hungry very quickly, and if it weren't for the internal force to protect his body, it would be impossible to stay in the water for so long. Even then, when in the water, the internal force is still consumed quickly, and the longer you stay, the faster the internal force is consumed.

Thinking about it this way, no matter how powerful the person in the water is, he can't last too long in the water, especially the faster he chases, the faster his physical energy will be consumed. And unless he can fly, it will be almost impossible to catch up with the boat that is speeding on the water.

"Bastard, don't let me catch you," the man in the water roared, and then slapped his fan-like palm on the surface of the water with a loud "pop-" sound.

Then look at the boat has disappeared into the vast river water, the water is red, bite the steel teeth, but in the end still hold the plank to the shore to swim, his water is very good, naturally clear that even if he desperately can't catch up with the boat.

And Wednesday was relieved to see that he had completely shaken off the people in the water. From the moment he first opened, it could be seen that the strength of the man in the water was not weak, at least it was not something he could deal with on Wednesday.

For example, if you throw a person accurately into a boat five meters away in the water, it is not something that ordinary people can do, because there is no force in the water, and there is no force at all.

However, the man in the water was not allowed to board the boat on Wednesday, not because he was too strong, but because he knew the identity of the other party.

"Bruce, ......?" Chrissy asked, blinking as she looked at the unconscious woman in the cabin.

Wednesday nodded, "That's her, the same destination as you." She naturally meant Margaret, and in this world, the only women who could care about Wednesday were Margaret and Chrissy.

It's just that Wednesday didn't expect his reunion with Margaret to be in such a situation, and Wednesday cruelly threw her guards into the river. Of course, it's not that Wednesday is ruthless, but that he doesn't dare to take risks, those guards around Margaret are too strong, and friends and enemies are unknown, Wednesday naturally won't be such an indiscriminate person.

For Wednesday, getting Margaret to Fox City was the number one priority, and as for the rest, he was too lazy to take care of it, and he couldn't take care of it.

Picked up Margaret's wrist to check, she was just unconscious, and then saw that there were marks of a blow on the back of her neck, which should have been knocked unconscious by the guard. This is also normal, if it were the same guard on Wednesday, Margaret would be knocked unconscious first in the case of falling into the water, because Margaret can't swim, and she will definitely struggle indiscriminately after falling into the water.

Those who know the common sense of first aid should know that when rescuing the person who has fallen into the water, he must not be caught or hugged by the person who has fallen into the water, so that the rescuer will be tied hand and foot, and even pulled into the water.

Thinking about this, Wednesday gently massaged Margaret's neck, spine and temples for a while, and it quickly took effect. Margaret, who was wet all over, sat up suddenly, "Brother Sam," but after seeing the four people on the boat, she asked in surprise, "Zhou...... Mr. Bruce, why are you here?"

Wednesday shrugged, "This is what I should have asked you, how did you fall into the river? If I hadn't saved you, you'd have been washed into the ocean." ”

Margaret whispered "thank you", and then asked nervously, "Have you seen another person, who is not tall and strong, with red hair......"

"Is there anyone else?" Wednesday asked in surprise, "No, I saw you lying down a plank alone, and I didn't know it was you until I rescued you," he asked with a concerned face, "Who is that person?"
