Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 38
"Suzhou City is high, so naturally it cannot be flooded, but we can't do it in the countryside! Our rice is already soaked in water! This year's harvest must be useless! I just hope that the houses in the village will not be damaged by water..."

The speaker was an old man in his fifties, his dark face was covered with wrinkles, and he wiped his old face when he spoke, as if he was crying.

Qingshan was originally a poor child, his hometown was hit by a flood, his parents and brothers were all gone, he was alone, and was bought by the Fang family to be a servant until now.

Hearing the cries of passers-by, Qing Shan felt a little depressed, so he led the horse and went out, intending to find Fang Yuanzhi by the river.

A carriage passed by, and the servant standing on the other side let out a snort.

The young man in the car asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The servant said in a low voice: "The villain saw Master Fang's servant, and he led two horses to the outside of the city. The gate of the city is about to be closed now, what is he going to do outside the city?"

The young man is Huai'an, and the young man in the car is Xu Chun who just returned to Suzhou after finishing his work.

Xu Chun didn't speak.

Since the members of the Shark Gang appeared in Suzhou, he took a horse-drawn carriage as much as possible to reduce the chance of showing his face.

After a while, he still ordered: "Turn around and follow."

The coachman was a veteran who had followed Xu Chun for many years, so he could quickly understand what he meant.

The carriage traveled a short distance and turned onto a small road with a little less pedestrians and a river at the end.From a distance, people can be seen playing by the river.

Suddenly, someone shouted by the river: "Run, the flood is coming!"

Xu Chun opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and there was someone running towards him in the distance.

But he saw Qingshan throwing the reins and running towards the river from afar.

Surprised, Xu Chun simply got out of the carriage and strode towards the river.

A woman by the river was crying, "Help, help! Help my child!"

Xu Chun's eyesight is very good, even though he was far away, he could still see a protruding place in the river, on which stood several eight or nine-year-old children.

The river rose so fast that the child tried to run back to the bank, but was scared back by the rushing water.

Seeing that the river was rising higher and higher, many places on the shore were flooded, and the few children who were not far from the shore were farther and farther away from the shore.

At this moment, Qing Shan and another thin figure went into the water instead, jumped up and down a few times, and headed towards the ledge where the children were standing.

After a while, they each hugged a child, jumped into the water, struggled in the turbulent river and jumped onto the bank. After handing over the child to the people on the bank, the two did the same thing again and rescued two more children.

There was only one child left in the middle of the river, and the water came in too fast and too fast, and the water level had already covered the child's thighs.

At this time, it is already very dangerous to go to the middle of the river to save the child.

The thin figure still struggled to walk towards the middle of the river!

Xu Chun watched from a distance, his hands clenched into fists!
When the thin figure finally joined the child in the middle of the river, the water had already covered the child's chest.

The two walked towards the shore together with difficulty, when a wave hit them, the two staggered, fell into the water, and rushed forward with the river!
Qingshan became anxious, and ran along the bank, shouting anxiously while running: "Young Master,! Young Master!"

It seems that the thin figure is Fang Yuanzhi.

Without further ado, Xu Chun went forward to lead the horse thrown by Qingshan on the bank, turned on the horse, and led another horse, first caught up with Qingshan, and threw the rein to him: "Riding to chase!"

The river flows so fast that people can't catch up with it!
Xu Chun knew that it was extremely dangerous to go along the rushing river in this flood. I don't know what things would be in the water, such as stones, wood, and even the submerged roof. life.

The shore is not a flat and spacious official road, there are trees, houses, etc. constantly blocking the road, and you have to pay attention to people who occasionally appear in the water, and they can't run much faster on horseback.

After running forward for more than a mile, the river forked, one went east and the other went west.The figure in the river has disappeared.

Xu Chun asked Qingshan to chase along the narrower river to the east, while he chased along the river to the west.

He knew that the river would join the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal further west, and even flow southwest into Taihu Lake.

There are many ships coming and going on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the river is very deep. If it is washed into it, it will be even more ominous.

He had just come from the pier of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the water in the canal had risen a lot. It turned out that the pier where he boarded the boat had been soaked in water.

The sky was getting darker and darker, the water in the river was cloudy and swift, and it became increasingly difficult to see clearly.

At the end of the road, Xu Chun was a little dumbfounded.

There was a vast ocean everywhere, and it was no longer possible to see where he was.At this time, the sky is dark and dark, which makes people feel that the world is vast and human beings are small like a drop in the ocean.

When ordinary people come here, they should give up the search and rescue and return to the city.

If the flood is more violent, Suzhou City may be flooded. It is the best policy to go home first to rescue the family's supplies and transfer the family.

But who is Xu Chun?
Years of running around at home and abroad, going through life and death, what kind of storms and waves have you never seen?

Even though it was only a child of a distant in-law's family who was washed away by the flood, he didn't want to leave any regrets.

If he had tried his best back then, would the second brother have survived?

He got off his horse and saw a bamboo raft floating on the water not far from the shore, and a long bamboo pole floating not far away.

At this time, the water is still flowing, possibly due to the widening of the water surface, but it has slowed down a lot.

Xu Chun walked into the water, jumped as hard as he could, jumped onto the bamboo raft, found another wooden stick, rowed close to the bamboo pole, and picked up the bamboo pole as well.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Even though Xu Chun had good eyesight, he could see only a limited amount of water.There are tables, chairs, branches, and even live buffaloes floating on the water.

He had no choice but to support the bamboo pole, stand on the bamboo raft and move slowly on the water surface, while searching around, he shouted: "Fang Yuanzhi, Fang Yuanzhi!"

As the sky became darker and darker, Xu Chun took out the fire bag in his arms, blew it on, tied it to a wooden stick, and tied the wooden stick vertically to the bamboo raft to continue searching along the water.

He actually didn't know what direction he was going now.

At night on a sunny day, you can use the stars or the moon in the sky to tell the direction.But now the sky is dark and full of clouds.The surrounding area is a vast ocean, and it is impossible to tell the direction by ground buildings.

Perhaps it was Huozhezi's light that played a role, Xu Chun heard a distant calling.

He was slightly happy, and supported the bamboo raft to go in the direction of the call.

As the sound got closer, he became more certain in his heart. Although the voice was a bit hoarse, but that unique and crisp voice, who was it, Fang Yuanzhi?
He could not help but sigh slightly.After such a catastrophe, most women may have been swept to the bottom of the river by the flood, or died of choking on the water.

Not only did she survive, but she even crouched on a treetop above the water with a child in her arms!

Women who have learned martial arts are really not to be underestimated.
