"Plop~!"

As soon as he felt that he had fallen from the abyss of the Qin Palace, he fell into the water in an instant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uh...... Yes...... Ahem!" Rao is Li Bing familiar with water, or his nose is sour because of this unprepared falling water.

Not far away, Anzi's head also surfaced, found Li Bing's direction, and swam over.

"Huh!" Li Bing woke up and looked around: this seems to be a big river, the waters are open, but it is still very turbulent, and there are lush mountains on both sides, not high, but they are steep walls.

"What about them?"

"Poof!" Before Li Bing's words fell, Rimai also came out of the water. Xu lay on his back, grabbed his shoulders, and kept sneezing, very embarrassed, obviously he didn't know how to water.

"Help!" In the distance, the two heads had just surfaced, and in the blink of an eye, they sank again--in the turbulent river, the two people who could not swim in the water, Pu Yuan and Li Youfu, had already drifted far downstream.

A fierce man plunged into the water, Li Bing quickly swam towards the two, and Anzi also followed behind him. Rimai carried Xu on his back, and it was already very difficult to float, but he kept his balance hard in place and slowly floated down the current.

"Ah~......" The shout was halfway loud and sank into the water again.

Li Bingyou went to Puyuan's side and reached for Puyuan's hand. In a panic, Pu Yuan grabbed Li Bing's neck, wanted to float up with his strength, and pressed down suddenly, but Li Bing choked on his saliva.

Li Bing sank into the water, watched Pu Yuan's legs kick back and forth, simply hugged his waist and squeezed the water hard. After coughing twice, he hurriedly stretched out his right arm and formed a palm with his right hand: "The Dharma is boundless!"

A flash of golden light flashed, and the clasp of the robe he was wrapped in automatically slipped off, flew out of the water, unfolded in the air, and spread flat on the surface of the river. At this time, the robe was hard and glowing with golden light, like a wooden plank, without wrinkles at all.

Pu Yuan picked up the water twice, and finally touched the robe, supported it hard, lay down, knelt on the robe, coughed again and again, and kept spitting water.

Anzi went all the way downstream, but Li Youfu was in the middle of the river, and the water flow was the fastest, and Anzi chased for a long time but did not catch up. By the time Li Bing saw that Pu Yuan was safe and was about to go downstream, Li Youfu had already drifted far away.

"Save ......!" was a blessed struggle, and as soon as he finished saying the word "rescue", his head sank again.

Anzi finally touched his body, and before he could save him, Li Youfu grabbed the "life-saving straw" and stopped letting go, and kept pressing Anzi down. Li Youfu is fat, but Anzi is thin and small, Anzi can't drag it up at all, this way, not only did both of them sink, but Anzi also choked on water.

"Whoa!" Suddenly I heard several voices in the distance, as if shouting at myself, followed by the sound of a rope breaking through the wind.

One end of the hemp rope was thrown to Yasuko's side. Anzi glanced at it roughly, it seemed to be a single-sailed wooden boat in the distance, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the end of the rope and entered the water shallowly, and tied it to his armpit.

He came out of the water, raised his hands high, and shouted, "Pull!"

The people on the ship also responded, and three or two people on deck began to pull the hemp rope violently. Anzi took a deep breath, shallow into the water again, and dragged Li Youfu's ass so hard that he was finally able to barely put his head out of the water and cough water out.

The two of them got closer and closer to the ship, and the people on the deck threw the rope ladder down, but at this time, Li Youfu was exhausted, and grabbed the rope ladder with both hands, keeping his head exposed outside the water, and never moved again.

The people on the boat simply pulled up with the ladder.

Li Youfu collapsed on the deck, his consciousness seemed to be blurred, he couldn't breathe, he just kept spitting out water, and there was a trace of blood in the water, as if he had choked on his lungs.

The man in the lead on the deck looked at the bloodshot that Li Youfu vomited, and quickly grabbed his feet, hung him upside down, and slammed his knees against his back.

"Wow!" Blessed mouth, like an invincible abyss, flowed out, and it took a long time to vomit.

The man saw that he was already coughing, and he put him down.

Li Youfu wiped his mouth with his cuffs, coughed twice, and whispered thank you. He knelt on the deck, his eyes bloodshot, and his snot slid down the tip of his nose to the deck, forming a silk thread.

Anzi waited by the side of the boat, and sure enough, the people on the boat lost the rope ladder again, and Li Bing, Pu Yuan, and Rimai also swam over, and the group went up the rope ladder one after another.

Li Bing went to the deck, looked at the few people who had just rescued him standing in front of him, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for the rescue!"

These people are all slightly shorter, a total of three men and one woman. The man at the head, with dark skin, shiny oil, seemed to be close to thirty years old, waved his hand at Li Bing, and said something that Li Bing couldn't understand.

Among the several people behind him, the young girl with the hat suddenly poked her head out and wondered, "Are you from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Ahh

In astonishment, a little girl ran out of the cabin, took out two pieces of linen cloth, and handed them to the young girl.

The young girl walked up and handed the sackcloth to Li Bing's hand: "You guys wipe it first!" After speaking, she glanced at the other people: "You are all Tang people?"

After taking the sackcloth and thanking him, Li Bing handed it to Anzi and Rimai: "Yes, we are all Tang people." ...... girl?"

"Brother Bing'er!

Before the girl could reply, Anzi suddenly screamed and pointed to the steep stone wall in the distance.

Everyone looked at the steep mountain, and the entire stone wall was cut flat, as if a painting had been carved out of a sword. This empty stone stands out in the entire verdant mountains. And the wall carving is exactly the same as the painting that Li Bing and the others saw on the wall of the calligraphy and painting shop before.

The boat was going upstream, and the location of the carving seemed to be the place where Li Bing and the others had fallen into the water before.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Li Bing saw that the young girl was still looking at herself, and then came back to her senses: "Thank you girl for rescuing." ”

After speaking, he looked at the man standing next to her, and saluted with fists. The man still smiled and waved his hand, saying something that Li Bing couldn't understand.

"Why are you here?" the girl asked, and added, "It's windy on deck, and you're soaking wet, beware of catching a cold." Why don't you go and talk in the cabin? There is hot soup in it to ward off the cold!"

"That's a bother!" Except for Youfu, the others recovered, but their snot flowed out, somewhat embarrassed.

Entering the hatch, several people sat on the ground around a small square table, and the little girl just now carried a tray of soup bowls, handed them to the young woman, and then ran away, as if she was a little afraid of life.

The young girl poured a bowl of wine for Li Bing and the others one by one: "Why are you here?

The girl took off her hat and saw her face clearly, and her facial features seemed to be closer to those of the Tang Dynasty than the other three men. The skin on her arms was also tanned, but it seemed that her face was still a normal light yellow color due to the fact that she often wore a hat.

Li Bing didn't know how to explain what happened before to him, but he just responded: "Yes." Girl, where is this?"

"Call me Xing'er!" the young girl pointed to the young man sitting beside her, "This is my husband, you can call him, Dati! ”

The apricot girl poured hot soup for a few people, and said slowly: "This is Shui Zhenla!"

Li Bing's heart was cold, so far away! It was still Shuzhong just now, how could he have come here in an instant!

Zhenla is a neighboring country in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, which was divided into two halves due to the war not long ago, and the adjacent half of the Tang Dynasty is called Lu Zhenla, and the half near the South China Sea is called Shuizhenla. (Chenla, the territorial area roughly corresponds to that of present-day northern Cambodia and southern Laos)

Xu seemed to be very intolerant to the cold, and even though he had dried his hair, he was still shivering from the cold. He tilted his head slightly and whispered to Li Bing: "It seems that we have come out of another exit of the Qin Palace." ”

Li Bing nodded slightly, and said, "Miss Xing'er, you are also a Tang person?"

"Well, yes. My grandfather went out to sea to run a boat, and beat my father's generation, and we lived in Chenla. ”

At that time, Datang set up a sea ban, which was ordered to prohibit private individuals from going to sea. Li Bing said in his heart when he heard this, most of the grandfather of this apricot girl was engaged in smuggling business.

"It's probably how far away from Datang is here. "Everything in the Qin Palace, Li Bing still remembers it vividly, and the most important thing now is to hurry back to the Tang Dynasty and try to find the whereabouts of the three masters of Li Youfu.

"This is to Datang? That road is not close. Follow this Mekong River upstream, all the way non-stop, walk by water for ten days, and then it is time to reach the border. ”

Speaking of this, it was probably because Miss Xing'er's husband couldn't interject, and after saying a few words to Xing'er, he smiled at Li Bing and the others, got up and left.

"Dare to ask Miss Xing'er, are you going to Datang on this ship?"

Miss Xing'er put all the soup bowls back into the tray and tidied up the table: "My husband and I are just selling some things from the port to Lu Zhenla, and when we get to the first city, we have to go back." And this will Lu Zhenla is fighting, which is very unsafe. If you want to go back to Datang, it's better to go down the river with us and go back to the port together, there are ships where they go, and they are all big ships, maybe you have to write faster and safer when you go back to Datang. ”

Li Bing sighed, and the apricot girl had already packed up the tray and got up: "A few of you sit down first, it's time, it's time for me to go and get ready to eat!"

"Thank you, girl. Oh, and one more thing, may I ask, what is that wall carving we saw earlier?"

Apricot lifted the curtain of the hatch and turned around: "Oh, that." It is said that a hundred years ago, there was a water demon here, and a god left after the demon was removed. I don't know the specifics. When you get back to Hong Kong, you ask everywhere where there are many people. With that, he left.

After a while, the sky was overcast. When it was time for dinner, the sailboat found a place, dropped anchor, docked, and everyone went to the cabin to prepare for dinner.

Li Bing and the others didn't eat a grain of rice all day, looking at the steaming rough noodles and boiled cabbage, and the saliva couldn't stop flowing out.

After being tossed like this for a day, Li Bing was also tired, and after he was full, Tida sorted out a place in the warehouse and let Li Bing and a few people spend the night.

Li Bing leaned on the sack full of goods, already physically and mentally exhausted, he didn't think about anything anymore, and fell asleep dizzily.
