she won't live to twenty
Chapter 60 Flood
Yangzhou City is famous for its gorgeous fireworks at night, especially now that it is summer. Every night, the sky is full of fireworks and Kongming lanterns that express wishes, embellishing the dark night sky with incomparable beauty.I heard that on the Qixi Festival one month later, the seaside and moat will be filled with pink lotus lanterns, and the lanterns will float farther and farther with the waves, forming a long light-colored ribbon in the sea.
Now that the three of them have all arrived in Yangzhou, why not watch the fireworks in the city?After saying goodbye to Xiao Shizi, they went straight to Yangzhou City.
It was already night when we arrived outside the city.Horse-drawn carriages were not allowed to enter Yangzhou City, so Wuming fostered the four horses in a post station outside the city, and the three of them entered Yangzhou City.
Sure enough, the night sky is filled with colorful and varied patterns. It is amazing at first sight, but after seeing too much, you will feel caught in the eye.Wuming had been to Yangzhou a few times before, and was already tired of those fireworks.But both Nanyue and Tang Chiyu came here for the first time, and they looked up at the night sky intently, their eyes full of flowers reflected by the fireworks.Wuming had no choice but to walk in the middle, holding Nanyue tightly with one hand, and resting the other on Tang Chiyu's shoulder, leading them to the city.
Yangzhou is a big city with a magnificent momentum. There are only two city walls, and three moats inside and outside.At this time, the city is decorated with lights and festoons, and people come and go on the three bridges over the moat, which is very lively.
After crossing the first bridge, Nanyue and Tang Chiyu lowered their heads in a daze.Tang Chiyu rubbed his painful eyes from watching the fireworks, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Wuming hugging Nanyue, rubbing his eyes and blowing the corners of his eyes, with an extremely doting expression.
Tang Chiyu looked away habitually: "..."
Not only are the fireworks in the sky gorgeous, but the moat also reflects all kinds of brilliance.Wuming embraced Nanyue, went to the bridge and looked down for a while, but Nanyue suddenly pulled Wuming's cuff and asked, "Wuming, are you the cousin Haomiao who was rescued in this river?"
Nan Yue's cheeks puffed up, she was extremely cute.
"Yes..." After Wuming said it, she realized that the little girl was jealous, and changed her words without changing her expression, "Is it? I don't quite remember."
Nameless reached out and pinched Nanyue's soft face.
Nanyue's slightly pouty cheeks froze all of a sudden, and she finally pretended to be jealous and turned into a shy smile in a second.
"Do you like the fireworks here?" Wuming asked softly, "If you like it, I'll take you to a closer place to see it."
Seeing Nanyue nodding, Wuming turned her head and patted Tang Chiyu's shoulder with a smile on her face: "Xiao Qi, please go into the city and find an inn. Nanyue and I will come later."
Wuming picked up Nanyue and swept away lightly, before disappearing into the crowd. Within a few breaths, the two of them appeared at the top of the uninhabited city wall tower.
The tower is a full six feet above the ground, almost overlooking the entire city of Yangzhou.Although Nanyue has made a lot of progress in lightness skills in the past six months, the highest place she has climbed is the two-foot-high plum blossom pile on the princess' mansion.Feeling the sea breeze blowing on her face, Nan Yue looked at the flickering lights in Yangzhou city, she moved slightly closer to Wuming, and hugged her neck tightly.
Below are thousands of lights in the city and people coming and going, with a soft and lovely girl in her arms, surrounded by a piece of night, and the sky is full of gorgeous fireworks.
There are no noisy human voices here, and the sound of fireworks exploding in the night sky can be heard, and then the breathing and heartbeat of the little girl in her arms.
Wuming suddenly had a feeling that there were only the two of them left in the whole world.
Since the night of Nanfu's confession, Wuming has never been too close to Nanyue, but now she suddenly feels an uncontrollable itching in her heart.
I really want to take a bite.
Nanyue also obviously noticed the change in the atmosphere, her cheeks turned red without saying a word.
Before the last time, Nanyue still had the guts to tease Wuming, but after she really tasted the taste last time, she returned to the original shy state. She wanted to try again, but felt afraid .An inadvertent touch by Wuming that crosses the border slightly can make her blush and heartbeat for a long time.
Nanyue clasped the palm of Wuming's neck, sweating a lot.
Soft fragrance is overflowing.
Smelling the tangy soft fragrance, Wuming's throat was dry and his voice was a little low: "Xiao Nanyue, I want to bully you, is that okay?"
Nanyue raised her head slightly, but did not answer, but her closed eyes and trembling eyelashes had already given the answer.
Wuming bowed his head, but did not follow Nanyue's lips, but buried his head by the side of her neck, sucking in the sweet and soft breath near her neck almost greedily.
Then, take a light bite.
The canines grind back and forth very lightly.
Nanyue clenched her fingers little by little, and her body became weaker and weaker. She raised her head pitifully and wanted to cry, but Wuming held the back of her head gently and firmly, unable to move.
"It's so sweet." When Wuming withdrew, a string of bright liquid remained on Nanyue's neck.
Nameless took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it clean.
Nanyue lay in her arms, her breathing quickened a lot, but Wuming hummed softly in a good mood, sat down on the back of the eaves beast, and looked up at the fireworks in the sky.
After a while, Nanyue also looked up at the fireworks and murmured, "It's so beautiful..."
The nameless finger caressed her cheeks, rubbed her chin lightly, and smiled softly: "If you like it, we can move here and live here for a while when everything settles down, and we can watch it every day."
Nanyue nodded heavily.
……
After leaving Yangzhou City, the three of them led the carriage to the Huai River Wharf, planning to rent a merchant ship and head north by water.
After picking out the boat, Tang Chiyu took the horse on board first, followed by Wuming and Nanyue, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded not far away: "Sister Nanyue, Aunt Wuming...Your Highness, have you really come to Yangzhou? "
Nan Haomiao stopped a few steps away, scratching his head in a daze.
Wuming frowned, and Nanyue took the initiative to step forward, her small body trying to keep Wuming behind: "Cousin Haomiao? Why are you here?"
"I'm going to take a water transport to Jishan. The merchant ship has just been loaded." Nan Haomiao pointed to a large ship in the water.
Wuming had a strange expression on his face. The ship Nan Haomiao pointed to had a long hull and the most elegant exterior decoration. Many boatmen were loading goods on it. It was the merchant ship they had just selected.
"You two girls, you actually know the young master? What a coincidence." The captain walked over with a smile, greeted Nan Haomiao, then looked at Wuming and said, "I just came here to tell the girl that we have followed the orders. The carriage has been sent to the warehouse, and the four BMWs are also taken care of by someone."
Wuming glanced at the ship from the corner of his eye. It was Tang Chiyu's first time on a merchant ship, and he was standing on the deck looking at the water excitedly.
Nan Haomiao didn't expect the three of them to rent their own merchant ship. After a moment of stunned, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, after hearing what you said last time, I was deeply touched. I have completely let go of the absurd thoughts in my heart." Thoughts. I just didn’t expect to meet His Highness again, so I’m so happy. There is absolutely no other meaning! After you board the ship, Your Highness, I will definitely stay far away and will never disturb you. The cabin of my house is clean and fresh. The boatmen are all from my own family, well-trained, I don’t know how much better than others, you, don’t feel wronged to change the boat just because of me..."
Nan Haomiao's face flushed in panic, her tone was extremely sincere, and she kept waving her hands.
Wu Mingben chose that ship because the environment of his merchant ship was better than other ships.Since Nan Haomiao promised not to disturb them, she didn't want to wrong herself to change the boat, so she led Nanyue onto the boat.
The scenery in class A is very good, and the river wind is mixed with a little fishy smell, but it is not intoxicating.Seeing the two of them boarding the boat, Tang Chiyu dragged them to the edge of the deck, and yelled at the endless Huaihe River: "Ah——"
It caused a friendly smile from the boatmen around.
However, as soon as the boat was on the road, Tang Chiyu couldn't get excited. For the first time, she realized that she would be seasick.
Tang Chiyu was shaken so that she lay on the edge of the railing and vomited and diarrhea, but when she saw the river water swaying in circles, she was dazzled and even vomited.Wuming had no choice but to knock her unconscious and throw her back into the room. Nanyue also went to the boatman to get some herbal medicine for relieving seasickness, and put it beside Tang Chiyu's bed.
After Wuming and Nanyue left the cabin, a touch of red clothes flashed across.
When Tang Chiyu fell asleep, she vaguely felt that she was lying in a soft embrace, and the fragrance wafted into her nostrils, alleviating the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness in her mind.Tang Chiyu instinctively moved closer to the fragrance, holding it tightly in his arms.
Tang Chiyu didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, it was already the next morning.The refreshing river wind poured in from the outside, blowing away the remaining fragrance in the cabin.
She blinked in confusion, trying to remember, but couldn't think of anything.But after a while, at least she got used to the frequency of the merchant ship's swaying, and no longer felt dizzy or uncomfortable. Tang Chiyu stretched her waist and stopped thinking about it.
At this time, the merchant ship was sailing in the middle of the river, surrounded by vast and endless waters, filled with early morning mist.The rising sun has just risen, reflecting half of the river red.
Wuming and Nanyue were sitting on the side of the boat enjoying the scenery, Tang Chiyu also sat in the past, and the three of them watched the rising sun illuminating half of the river.
……
As expected, Nan Haomiao never bothered the three Wuming people, or even appeared in front of them.The days on the ship were quiet and peaceful, and a week passed in a flash.
The Huaihe River is calm and rarely turbulent. It is an extremely safe waterway.However, when the merchant ship passed through Fengcheng, it suddenly rained heavily, and the flat river in the distance unexpectedly surged with huge waves without any warning.
The huge wave was still a hundred meters away, but the river was already turbulent. The boatmen on the deck moved in an orderly manner, pulling the merchant ship closer to the shore before the huge wave approached, and the cargo was piled into the cabin one after another.
Wuming walked out of the cabin and looked around. Even with her eyesight, she couldn't see where the huge wave came from. She could only see its menacing momentum, rushing across the river, and flooding the sky towards the villages on both sides.The surrounding trees fell down, and the water flowed into the distance, with terrifying power.Some villages can be vaguely submerged, and some people's heads are looming in the muddy water.
There is a flood.
The huge waves rushed in, and the ship was likely to be overwhelmed.Both Wuming and Tangchi have poor rain resistance. If they were on the deck, they might be able to escape or even save people with light skills, but if they were trapped in the cabin, it would be dangerous.
In just a few breaths, Wuming's head was drenched by the heavy rain, and his chestnut hair stuck to his body in embarrassment.She kicked open the door of Tang Chiyu's room without hesitation: "Xiao Qi! Go to the deck!" Then she quickly returned to her room, and pulled back the cloak: "Come on."
Nanyue didn't ask anything, and leaned over obediently, hugging her tightly.
The two embraced tightly and broke into the heavy rain.
Tang Chiyu also quickly picked up his weapon and ran to the deck.
Standing on the deck and directly watching the flood and huge waves is far more shocking than being in the cabin.There were huge waves in the distance, and the river was turbulent nearby. The hull of the ship was swaying greatly, as if it might fall over at any time.
This is the case with the largest merchant ship, not to mention the surrounding small boats, which are constantly shaking in the river.
The sound of crackling rain and water filled my ears.
Nanyue huddled in Wuming's cloak, stretched out a hand with difficulty, and helped Wuming wipe off the water stains in front of her eyes, but she just wiped it, and was immediately drenched by the heavy rain.
Wuming Chongni smiled, and stuffed Nanyue's little hands into the cloak: "Be careful of catching a cold."
"Girl, this huge wave is coming soon, why don't you take shelter in the cabin?" The captain stood at the front of the deck and shouted to the three through the sound of rain and water.
Tang Chiyu waved his hand vigorously: "I won't avoid it!"
As soon as the voice fell, the terrifying huge wave had already arrived in front of him!
"Boom!" A huge impact sounded.
Then there were violent bumps again and again. The boatmen were still knocked upside down with thick hemp ropes tied around their waists. Some people were thrown into the muddy river and almost swept away by the huge waves.
Tang Chiyu stabilized her figure by relying on lightness kung fu, and when she was almost knocked out a mouthful of sour gastric juice, she turned her head, only to find that Wuming and Nanyue were gone!
"Nameless!" Tang Chiyu's pupils widened for a moment, and he raised his head in panic.
The huge wave just jumped over the hull.
I saw Wuming stepping lightly on the huge waves, holding a boatman's collar in his hand.
The next moment, the huge wave finally jumped over the merchant ship completely. The merchant ship followed the direction where the huge wave left, but was firmly held by the giant anchor, and another wave of turbulence hit.Fortunately, the merchant ship was neither washed away nor overturned, and floated like driftwood on the much wider river in the blink of an eye.
Wuming threw the boatman who almost lost half of his life back to the boat. Immediately, other boatmen came up to press his abdomen. After he coughed up several saliva, he finally opened his eyes, and he escaped from the gate of hell.
Fortunately, the merchant ship was not overturned by the huge waves, but the small boats that happened to be traveling nearby were not so lucky. Several small boats were smashed by the huge waves, leaving only a few pieces of driftwood.I don't know how many people were washed away by the huge waves. At a glance, we can only see a few looming heads that may be swallowed by the flood at any time.
Wuming and Tang Chiyu looked at each other, and were about to rush to save people, but they saw an old man dressed in shabby clothes who didn't know how to get up from nowhere, with his toes sweeping for dozens of feet, he easily caught up with the huge waves, picked up the dying people, Throwing it casually, the man landed on the boat lightly, without being injured at all.
The old man's movements are as light as a fairy.
The old man kept moving, and people kept being thrown onto the boat.
The boatmen were dumbfounded.
Nan Haomiao came out of the cabin at some point, and was completely embarrassed by the rain, and shouted: "What are you still doing, save people!"
The boatmen immediately set to work.
Although these people are not on board their ship, but in the face of an irresistible natural disaster, who would care about the gains and losses?
The old man threw countless people onto the boat, but in the end he himself did not return to the boat, but floated down on the huge waves and disappeared into the endless waters.
What a fairy pie.
Tang Chiyu blinked in a daze. Previously, Wuming said that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a master everywhere. Although she believed it, she never felt the truth in her heart. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt shocked after a while.
After the huge waves passed, the downpour of rain subsided a bit, and the merchant ship floated alone on the water.The surrounding plains were flooded, and only the roofs of the trees and houses in the distance were exposed.
The boatmen were in a hurry, draining water and saving lives.
Wuming sighed, and led Nanyue back to the room to change clothes.Although Nanyue has always been hiding under her cloak, but when she walked through the waves just now, her whole body was completely submerged by the river water, and Nanyue was not much better, with her soaked clothes clinging to her body, Outline the gradually exquisite figure.
When changing clothes, Wuming inadvertently glanced at the soft flesh in front of Nanyue, and looked at the still barren part of himself, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.The current Xiao Nanyue is really older than her...much older.
The two of them dried themselves and changed their clothes, and when they left the cabin, the heavy rain had almost stopped.The bright sun hung high in the sky, hurting people's eyes.
Nan Haomiao was discussing the itinerary with the captain. Seeing Wuming and Nanyue approaching, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there was a sudden flash flood in Fengcheng, and we happened to meet it. Now the Huaihe River is swollen and the water is strong The turbulence is unpredictable, and before the water recedes, we probably won't be able to walk through the waterway. We are going to rest in Fengcheng for ten days and a half months in a boat, you see...?"
"It's okay." Wuming thought about it, "We will separate in Fengcheng."
Anyway, they took the boat to go northward by water, and it was just a whim, a fresh idea.Then go all the way back to the carriage and continue running on land.
The merchant ship moved slowly towards the Fengcheng Wharf. After a while, Wuming saw a few planks floating in the distance, and someone hugged them with difficulty.
The water situation in this area gradually stabilized. It was not the Huaihe River, which was full of waves, but the flooded plains.Presumably those people are also villagers whose houses were flooded.
Wuming didn't rush to save people, but glanced at Nan Haomiao and asked, "There are people in the water ahead, can we save them?"
After all, this is Nan Haomiao's boat. After saving so many people on the river just now, the boat is already a bit chaotic. The deck is crowded with dense crowds, and there are not many empty seats left.If he is unwilling to take in those villagers, he can only give up.
Nan Haomiao followed Wuming's gaze, without any hesitation: "Help!"
The merchant ship passed in the direction of the board.
But now, after all, they are not in the river, the speed of the boat is too slow, and the distance is too far. In front of them, there is a big luxury boat that appeared out of nowhere and headed towards the villagers.
The big ship was three stories high and three times the size of a merchant ship.The long flag was flying above, and the cannon muzzles on the deck were very conspicuous. It was actually a warship of the Fengcheng Navy.Fengcheng is a water city surrounded by several rivers. I heard that the prefect will take a warship to patrol along the Huaihe River every day. Presumably the person on that boat is Fengcheng's parents.
The villagers soaked in the water saw the warship approaching, and couldn't help but smile with the joy of the survivors on their faces, and they all raised their hands and cheered.
Nan Haomiao was also about to ask the captain to divert, but he didn't expect that the warship with the prefect didn't intend to slow down, but just ran over the victims!
"I...Damn." Nan Haomiao was stunned.
Others only saw the victims being crushed by the big boat, and it took a long time for them to emerge from the water again, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance.But Wuming's eyesight is good, but he can clearly see the stunned expressions of the victims, and even see blood streaks rippling in the water.
Someone was unlucky and died under the boat.
The people sitting on the warship are either the parents of Fengcheng or the local navy, but no matter who it is, they must ignore the lives of the victims!Not to mention running over the victims directly!
Wuming frowned, and the hostility flashed in his eyes.
Tang Chiyu also saw the blood, cursed angrily, drew his sword and slashed fiercely on the water!Take advantage of the strength to go in the direction of the victims.
Wuming didn't hesitate anymore, and after exchanging glances with Nanyue, he lightly caught up with Tang Chiyu, and the two tiptoed across the water, leaving only ripples.
The merchant ship hurriedly accelerated to catch up.
The two soon reached the board where the victims were floating and stood on the driftwood. Tang Chiyu wanted to chase the boat again, but Wuming stopped him.
"Xiaoqi, you save people first, my lightness kung fu is faster, I'll go after that boat." After Wuming finished speaking, he skimmed a long distance on the water surface, his figure was ethereal and light, no less than the one who walked on the waves. The old fairy is poor.
On the warship, the prefect of Fengcheng was sitting in front of the deck, drinking hot tea leisurely, without any expression of being disturbed by the flood at all.
While drinking, he murmured: "Flood, it will come once every three to five years, Fengcheng is surrounded by river water, it is inevitable."
"Your Excellency said so." The mustache man sitting opposite the eunuch nodded hurriedly, his voice extremely flattering.
The prefect smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I will retire and return to my hometown next year. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the next flood."
Today, His Majesty is lenient, and every time there is a flood in Fengcheng, a lot of money and food are approved.Although exploited from top to bottom, when it reaches the eunuch's hands, there may not even be half of the original left.But if you are greedy and greedy, you are greedy. Anyway, the flood can't cover him.The prefect of Fengcheng strictly abides by the four-character motto of contentment and constant happiness, never complains about anything, An Xin and the officials of the court and China are in collusion, so he has been the prefect for many years in peace.
"My lord!" At this time, an armored soldier walked quickly and said with cupped hands, "Just now our boat ran over the victims, and someone saw them and chased after us. We have already accelerated our speed, but that person is still chasing after us."
"Oh?" The prefect rolled his eyes.
"It's a barbarian woman, and she is very light-hearted."
"A foreign girl..." The old eunuch smiled gently, "How do you look?"
"I can't see it clearly, but I think it's not bad."
"In this case, if she catches up, she will be caught and sent to my room." The old eunuch laughed softly, "If she doesn't catch up, pay attention in Fengcheng in a few days. The surroundings are submerged by floods, and she will always be there." It's going to the city."
"Yes!"
The author has something to say: oh~
Now that the three of them have all arrived in Yangzhou, why not watch the fireworks in the city?After saying goodbye to Xiao Shizi, they went straight to Yangzhou City.
It was already night when we arrived outside the city.Horse-drawn carriages were not allowed to enter Yangzhou City, so Wuming fostered the four horses in a post station outside the city, and the three of them entered Yangzhou City.

Seeing Nanyue nodding, Wuming turned her head and patted Tang Chiyu's shoulder with a smile on her face: "Xiao Qi, please go into the city and find an inn. Nanyue and I will come later."
Wuming picked up Nanyue and swept away lightly, before disappearing into the crowd. Within a few breaths, the two of them appeared at the top of the uninhabited city wall tower.

As expected, Nan Haomiao never bothered the three Wuming people, or even appeared in front of them.The days on the ship were quiet and peaceful, and a week passed in a flash.
The Huaihe River is calm and rarely turbulent. It is an extremely safe waterway.However, when the merchant ship passed through Fengcheng, it suddenly rained heavily, and the flat river in the distance unexpectedly surged with huge waves without any warning.
The huge wave was still a hundred meters away, but the river was already turbulent. The boatmen on the deck moved in an orderly manner, pulling the merchant ship closer to the shore before the huge wave approached, and the cargo was piled into the cabin one after another.
Wuming walked out of the cabin and looked around. Even with her eyesight, she couldn't see where the huge wave came from. She could only see its menacing momentum, rushing across the river, and flooding the sky towards the villages on both sides.The surrounding trees fell down, and the water flowed into the distance, with terrifying power.Some villages can be vaguely submerged, and some people's heads are looming in the muddy water.
There is a flood.
The huge waves rushed in, and the ship was likely to be overwhelmed.Both Wuming and Tangchi have poor rain resistance. If they were on the deck, they might be able to escape or even save people with light skills, but if they were trapped in the cabin, it would be dangerous.
In just a few breaths, Wuming's head was drenched by the heavy rain, and his chestnut hair stuck to his body in embarrassment.She kicked open the door of Tang Chiyu's room without hesitation: "Xiao Qi! Go to the deck!" Then she quickly returned to her room, and pulled back the cloak: "Come on."
Nanyue didn't ask anything, and leaned over obediently, hugging her tightly.
The two embraced tightly and broke into the heavy rain.
Tang Chiyu also quickly picked up his weapon and ran to the deck.
Standing on the deck and directly watching the flood and huge waves is far more shocking than being in the cabin.There were huge waves in the distance, and the river was turbulent nearby. The hull of the ship was swaying greatly, as if it might fall over at any time.
This is the case with the largest merchant ship, not to mention the surrounding small boats, which are constantly shaking in the river.
The sound of crackling rain and water filled my ears.
Nanyue huddled in Wuming's cloak, stretched out a hand with difficulty, and helped Wuming wipe off the water stains in front of her eyes, but she just wiped it, and was immediately drenched by the heavy rain.
Wuming Chongni smiled, and stuffed Nanyue's little hands into the cloak: "Be careful of catching a cold."
"Girl, this huge wave is coming soon, why don't you take shelter in the cabin?" The captain stood at the front of the deck and shouted to the three through the sound of rain and water.
Tang Chiyu waved his hand vigorously: "I won't avoid it!"
As soon as the voice fell, the terrifying huge wave had already arrived in front of him!
"Boom!" A huge impact sounded.
Then there were violent bumps again and again. The boatmen were still knocked upside down with thick hemp ropes tied around their waists. Some people were thrown into the muddy river and almost swept away by the huge waves.
Tang Chiyu stabilized her figure by relying on lightness kung fu, and when she was almost knocked out a mouthful of sour gastric juice, she turned her head, only to find that Wuming and Nanyue were gone!
"Nameless!" Tang Chiyu's pupils widened for a moment, and he raised his head in panic.
The huge wave just jumped over the hull.
I saw Wuming stepping lightly on the huge waves, holding a boatman's collar in his hand.
The next moment, the huge wave finally jumped over the merchant ship completely. The merchant ship followed the direction where the huge wave left, but was firmly held by the giant anchor, and another wave of turbulence hit.Fortunately, the merchant ship was neither washed away nor overturned, and floated like driftwood on the much wider river in the blink of an eye.
Wuming threw the boatman who almost lost half of his life back to the boat. Immediately, other boatmen came up to press his abdomen. After he coughed up several saliva, he finally opened his eyes, and he escaped from the gate of hell.
Fortunately, the merchant ship was not overturned by the huge waves, but the small boats that happened to be traveling nearby were not so lucky. Several small boats were smashed by the huge waves, leaving only a few pieces of driftwood.I don't know how many people were washed away by the huge waves. At a glance, we can only see a few looming heads that may be swallowed by the flood at any time.
Wuming and Tang Chiyu looked at each other, and were about to rush to save people, but they saw an old man dressed in shabby clothes who didn't know how to get up from nowhere, with his toes sweeping for dozens of feet, he easily caught up with the huge waves, picked up the dying people, Throwing it casually, the man landed on the boat lightly, without being injured at all.
The old man's movements are as light as a fairy.
The old man kept moving, and people kept being thrown onto the boat.
The boatmen were dumbfounded.
Nan Haomiao came out of the cabin at some point, and was completely embarrassed by the rain, and shouted: "What are you still doing, save people!"
The boatmen immediately set to work.
Although these people are not on board their ship, but in the face of an irresistible natural disaster, who would care about the gains and losses?
The old man threw countless people onto the boat, but in the end he himself did not return to the boat, but floated down on the huge waves and disappeared into the endless waters.
What a fairy pie.
Tang Chiyu blinked in a daze. Previously, Wuming said that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a master everywhere. Although she believed it, she never felt the truth in her heart. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt shocked after a while.
After the huge waves passed, the downpour of rain subsided a bit, and the merchant ship floated alone on the water.The surrounding plains were flooded, and only the roofs of the trees and houses in the distance were exposed.
The boatmen were in a hurry, draining water and saving lives.
Wuming sighed, and led Nanyue back to the room to change clothes.Although Nanyue has always been hiding under her cloak, but when she walked through the waves just now, her whole body was completely submerged by the river water, and Nanyue was not much better, with her soaked clothes clinging to her body, Outline the gradually exquisite figure.
When changing clothes, Wuming inadvertently glanced at the soft flesh in front of Nanyue, and looked at the still barren part of himself, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.The current Xiao Nanyue is really older than her...much older.
The two of them dried themselves and changed their clothes, and when they left the cabin, the heavy rain had almost stopped.The bright sun hung high in the sky, hurting people's eyes.
Nan Haomiao was discussing the itinerary with the captain. Seeing Wuming and Nanyue approaching, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there was a sudden flash flood in Fengcheng, and we happened to meet it. Now the Huaihe River is swollen and the water is strong The turbulence is unpredictable, and before the water recedes, we probably won't be able to walk through the waterway. We are going to rest in Fengcheng for ten days and a half months in a boat, you see...?"
"It's okay." Wuming thought about it, "We will separate in Fengcheng."
Anyway, they took the boat to go northward by water, and it was just a whim, a fresh idea.Then go all the way back to the carriage and continue running on land.
The merchant ship moved slowly towards the Fengcheng Wharf. After a while, Wuming saw a few planks floating in the distance, and someone hugged them with difficulty.
The water situation in this area gradually stabilized. It was not the Huaihe River, which was full of waves, but the flooded plains.Presumably those people are also villagers whose houses were flooded.
Wuming didn't rush to save people, but glanced at Nan Haomiao and asked, "There are people in the water ahead, can we save them?"
After all, this is Nan Haomiao's boat. After saving so many people on the river just now, the boat is already a bit chaotic. The deck is crowded with dense crowds, and there are not many empty seats left.If he is unwilling to take in those villagers, he can only give up.
Nan Haomiao followed Wuming's gaze, without any hesitation: "Help!"
The merchant ship passed in the direction of the board.
But now, after all, they are not in the river, the speed of the boat is too slow, and the distance is too far. In front of them, there is a big luxury boat that appeared out of nowhere and headed towards the villagers.
The big ship was three stories high and three times the size of a merchant ship.The long flag was flying above, and the cannon muzzles on the deck were very conspicuous. It was actually a warship of the Fengcheng Navy.Fengcheng is a water city surrounded by several rivers. I heard that the prefect will take a warship to patrol along the Huaihe River every day. Presumably the person on that boat is Fengcheng's parents.
The villagers soaked in the water saw the warship approaching, and couldn't help but smile with the joy of the survivors on their faces, and they all raised their hands and cheered.
Nan Haomiao was also about to ask the captain to divert, but he didn't expect that the warship with the prefect didn't intend to slow down, but just ran over the victims!
"I...Damn." Nan Haomiao was stunned.
Others only saw the victims being crushed by the big boat, and it took a long time for them to emerge from the water again, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance.But Wuming's eyesight is good, but he can clearly see the stunned expressions of the victims, and even see blood streaks rippling in the water.
Someone was unlucky and died under the boat.
The people sitting on the warship are either the parents of Fengcheng or the local navy, but no matter who it is, they must ignore the lives of the victims!Not to mention running over the victims directly!
Wuming frowned, and the hostility flashed in his eyes.
Tang Chiyu also saw the blood, cursed angrily, drew his sword and slashed fiercely on the water!Take advantage of the strength to go in the direction of the victims.
Wuming didn't hesitate anymore, and after exchanging glances with Nanyue, he lightly caught up with Tang Chiyu, and the two tiptoed across the water, leaving only ripples.
The merchant ship hurriedly accelerated to catch up.
The two soon reached the board where the victims were floating and stood on the driftwood. Tang Chiyu wanted to chase the boat again, but Wuming stopped him.
"Xiaoqi, you save people first, my lightness kung fu is faster, I'll go after that boat." After Wuming finished speaking, he skimmed a long distance on the water surface, his figure was ethereal and light, no less than the one who walked on the waves. The old fairy is poor.
On the warship, the prefect of Fengcheng was sitting in front of the deck, drinking hot tea leisurely, without any expression of being disturbed by the flood at all.
While drinking, he murmured: "Flood, it will come once every three to five years, Fengcheng is surrounded by river water, it is inevitable."
"Your Excellency said so." The mustache man sitting opposite the eunuch nodded hurriedly, his voice extremely flattering.
The prefect smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I will retire and return to my hometown next year. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the next flood."
Today, His Majesty is lenient, and every time there is a flood in Fengcheng, a lot of money and food are approved.Although exploited from top to bottom, when it reaches the eunuch's hands, there may not even be half of the original left.But if you are greedy and greedy, you are greedy. Anyway, the flood can't cover him.The prefect of Fengcheng strictly abides by the four-character motto of contentment and constant happiness, never complains about anything, An Xin and the officials of the court and China are in collusion, so he has been the prefect for many years in peace.
"My lord!" At this time, an armored soldier walked quickly and said with cupped hands, "Just now our boat ran over the victims, and someone saw them and chased after us. We have already accelerated our speed, but that person is still chasing after us."
"Oh?" The prefect rolled his eyes.
"It's a barbarian woman, and she is very light-hearted."
"A foreign girl..." The old eunuch smiled gently, "How do you look?"
"I can't see it clearly, but I think it's not bad."
"In this case, if she catches up, she will be caught and sent to my room." The old eunuch laughed softly, "If she doesn't catch up, pay attention in Fengcheng in a few days. The surroundings are submerged by floods, and she will always be there." It's going to the city."
"Yes!"
