Seeing this, Xie Liuzheng didn't say anything else. After all, these people made a living by fishing. If they didn't catch any fish, they would have no income for the day.

?

If there are elderly or children in the family, no income means going hungry.

?

Moreover, they do not sleep at night and go out fishing. It is conceivable that they are forced by life.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't care anymore. She turned around and was about to lie down to rest, with Qiuyue serving her.

?

"It's so late, the fish are no longer in the water, where are these people going to fish?"

?

Xie Liuzheng was about to say something about this when suddenly an idea popped into her mind.

?

Xie Liuzheng stood up suddenly, hitting her head against the roof. However, she ignored the pain and shouted, "Quick, go ask the boatman to check the boat..."

?

But before he could finish his words, the boatman's shouting was heard from the deck outside.

?

"Oh no! The boat is leaking and is sinking now!"

?

"It's not good, it's not good!"

?

For a moment, the maids were so scared that they burst into tears, and some servants were also panicked and paced on the deck.

?

A few brave people jumped into the water to check the boat for leaks, but they soon surfaced.

?

Xie Liuzheng, wearing his coat, asked hurriedly, "How is it? Is the damage to the hull serious? Can it make it to the coast?"

?

Without waiting for a response, she hurriedly ordered the boatman, "Hurry, get to the shore!"

?

The boatman nodded hurriedly and ran towards the bow, but the others on the deck were still in a daze.

?

No one had ever encountered such a situation and was worried that they would fall into the sea and drown.

?

Only Xie Liuzheng was arranging everything on the deck with a calm expression. She now regretted not capturing those fishermen just now.

?

If Qiuyue hadn't pointed out how it was impossible to catch fish so late at night, she might not have realized it.

?

Those people were not fishermen. Their purpose was to destroy the boat and kill them here!

?

Especially since the boat is still in the middle of the sea, it would be too late to swim to the shore now!

?

Xie Liuzheng still doesn’t know if there are any enemy troops lying in ambush in the sea?

?

But as the boat gradually sank, Xie Liuzheng hurried to look for Xie Xiangyu, but found that Xie Xiangyu could not be woken up no matter what!

?

She immediately glanced majestically at the maids in Xie Xiangyu's room. Xie Liuzheng would be the first one to not believe that none of them were bribed by the other party!

?

But the situation was critical now, and Xie Liuzheng had no time to deal with these traitors. He quickly carried Xie Xiangyu on his back and walked out.

?

As soon as they walked onto the deck, Xie Liuzheng was already out of breath. She had not done much exercise since her rebirth, and the longest distance she walked every day was from her yard to the gate.

?

Now that she was suddenly carrying Xie Xiangyu, she still found it a bit strenuous. She originally wanted to ask someone to carry her, but those servants were outsiders and the situation was critical now. She probably wouldn't mention the strict separation between men and women.

?

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected!

?

After escaping danger in the future, Xie Liuzheng was afraid that someone would make a fuss about it, and Xie Xiangyu would definitely be criticized then.

?

Of course, it is a little too early to think about these things now, but Xie Liuzheng is used to thinking three steps ahead before taking one step, so as not to put himself in a completely passive situation.

?

"Miss, the ship is sinking. What should we do now?"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng glanced at the panicked people on the deck, and her mother who was still unconscious beside her.

?

She would naturally not abandon her mother, and as for the others, Xie Liuzheng must also ensure their safety.

?

Otherwise, who would dare to work for the Xie family in the future?

?

If such a big Xie family cannot even protect the people below them, then no one will dare to be loyal to the Xie family in the future.

?

Xie Liuzheng quickly calmed down. She looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone who is proficient in water? Or can swim?"

?

"My dear Miss, I can swim!"

?

"I am proficient in water and can swim a person to shore!"

?

Several guards and one or two servants stepped forward. The situation was critical, and Xie Liuzheng had to do his best to ensure that everyone reached the shore safely.

?

So, Xie Liuzheng began to assign tasks, "You take Qiuyue to the shore! The others will take one person to the shore in turn. I will reward anyone who saves someone today."

?

"Miss, human life is at stake. Even if you don't reward us, we will definitely save them!"

?

A guard said sincerely.

?

Others also hurried to express their opinions.

?

But Xie Liuzheng insisted, "Today, everyone has bravely saved people. I, Xie Liuzheng, swear here that you are all benefactors of my Xie family. As long as I can escape danger, I will do my best to repay you one day!"

?

But when Qiuyue heard this, she refused to leave. "Miss, if we all leave, what will you and Madam do? Well, I won't leave. Let the guard take Miss away! I am just a worthless person. It is not a pity to die, but Miss, you must not be in any danger!"

?

As she said that, Qiuyue pushed the guard towards Xie Liuzheng. She would rather die than see the young lady get hurt.

?

Qiuyue will always remember the kindness the young lady showed her.

?

So the next second, Qiuyue knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Xie Liuzheng.

?

"Miss, you treat Qiuyue like a brother, Qiuyue has no way to repay you! I will kowtow to you and wish you peace and health, and a smooth life!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng was helpless. She refused to accept Qiuyue's kindness. "Alright, Qiuyue, stop being sentimental at this time! Hurry up and go with the guards! I am fine, your lady. I want to go back and eat the lotus cake you made for me! So you must not be in any trouble, and I will be fine too."

?

As she said this, she glanced at the guard and signaled him to take Qiuyue away quickly. The others hesitated for a moment, then immediately moved.

?

If you don't leave now, even if you are proficient in swimming, you won't be able to save people.

?

Once one action is taken, there will be a second, a third...

?

Soon, only a few boatmen and Qiuyue, who kept crying and shouting and refused to leave, were left on the deck!

?

Xie Liuzheng had no choice but to whisper his plan to Qiuyue, "Don't worry, your young lady knows how to swim. I will bring mother to the shore to meet you."

?

"But if you continue to cry and waste time, your young lady might die here."

?

Qiuyue heard this and shook her head without thinking, "Miss, I don't want you to die! I, I will be obedient, but Miss, you must reunite with me safely?"

?

After receiving repeated assurances from Xie Liuzheng, Qiuyue reluctantly left with the guards, while Xie Liuzheng found a hemp rope and tied Xie Xiangyu and himself together.

?

She gave birth, mother gave birth!

?

Even if she dies, her mother cannot die!

?

Xie Liuzheng was actually gambling. She could indeed swim, but it was very difficult to swim to the shore with Xie Xiangyu!

?

What's more, Xie Xiangyu is still unconscious.
