Chapter 208: in distress

Lu Yuanqing came back to his senses first, went from the hole to the next door, held Zhang Ruyi in his arms, and comforted in a low voice without caring about others.

Lan Yi looked at this and then at that, he was still showing affection at this time, it pierced his heart!

Zhang Ruyi has always been strong, facing the death of One Eye, she was only a little surprised, and now she is completely panicked.

Lu Yuanqing was immediately aroused to protect, and he served tea and snacks, let the lady eat first, only when she is full can she have the strength to face the next thing.

Before he could comfort Zhang Ruyi, there was another loud noise from the wall on the other side, and Ji Qiu used the same method to open up the cabins on both sides.

Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes and thought to himself, brother, can't we say hello before the violence?

He and Zhang Ruyi's cabin happened to be in the middle, and now there were holes in the walls on both sides, and they were finally opened. They could discuss countermeasures together, but Lu Yuanqing couldn't be happy at all.

Because he is a scholar, even though he has been exercising all the year round, he is still a little bit worse than Xiao Lingchuan and Ji Qiu. He feels that his self-esteem as a man is being shattered little by little, gradually turning into ashes.

Zhang Ruyi was sensitive to the loss of Lu Er's fool, she calmed down a little, and hugged his arm, "Husband, thank you for coming back, otherwise I would be alone, so scared!"

Men, how many don't care about face! Now is the best time to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

Sure enough, Lu Yuanqing's face turned from cloudy to sunny, but he still pushed her with his hand, made a show, and scolded her with a straight face, "It's not decent to hug her in front of outsiders!"

Having said that, he didn't push Zhang Ruyi away.

Half an hour had passed, but the strong wind showed no signs of abating. As the first deck was gradually submerged, the passengers became more and more restless.

Everyone was like headless flies, slamming against the door of the cabin, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hiding in the cabin was their only chance of survival.

Li Haitang looked at the trembling cabin door, and there was a look of worry in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't hide in it all the time, and when the second deck was flooded by the river, it would no longer be safe here. Now, she can only drag on for a while. time.

She rubbed her heart, it was inevitable that her heart would hurt, the carriage she was riding in was on another official ship, and there was a savage husband in the carriage who gave her a medical toolbox. .

"When are we going out?"

Lu Yuanqing asked, the situation in front of him was not optimistic, but he was also a man, the two of them remained calm, but he was like an ant on a hot pot, always feeling ashamed. He tried his best not to care so much, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails pinched his palms to bleed.

At the critical moment of life and death, scholars not only cannot be superior to others, they are still a drag. Although Lu Yuanqing was peaceful in the past, Lu Yuanqing was still somewhat lofty in his bones. He thought that he was different from the mud legs of the peasants.

"Wait a minute, it's not the time yet."

Xiao Lingchuan listened attentively to the noise outside, and judged that the river had just entered the second deck, there was a high threshold in the cabin, and the cabin was still dry.

There is chaos outside at the moment, go out blindly, the swarming crowd is likely to hurt people.

The strong wind on the river was still there, the water from the official boat entered the cabin and submerged into Xiao Lingchuan's calf, the torches on the table were also extinguished, and the cabin was suddenly plunged into darkness.

There were people crying outside the door. Seeing that there was no way out, everyone scattered desperately, and beat their heads and blood to grab a piece of wood.

Having a wooden plank gives you a little more hope of surviving. Even if you know how to swim, there is no guarantee that you will be able to swim to the shore.

The hull lost its direction, and the hull kept sinking. The passengers saw someone falling into the water struggling, crying for help, and gradually fell silent.

For the living, they no longer expect miracles to appear, and they suddenly discovered that waiting for death is an extremely tormenting process.

Li Haitang was carried on the back by Xiao Lingchuan. Her feet were already soaked in the river water. The icy cold water made her shiver. Xiao Lingchuan felt his wife's trembling and his face was tense. He clenched his teeth tightly. , heart churning.

No matter how you dodge, you have to go into the water. It's almost time now, and you can't wait any longer.

"Let's go."

Ji Qiu is short, so he is very embarrassed at the moment, the river will soon submerge his chest, and he can only swim out at that time, he has already prepared the plank and the things he brought with him.

The escape had already been divided into groups, Ji Qiu took the blue clothes with him, at least she helped kill his enemy, so he wouldn't leave him alone.

"Can you do it?"

No matter how embarrassing it is, you have to put a back on your shoulders, Ji Qiu asked Lu Yuanqing who was drenched beside him.

Lu Yuanqing: ...

Asking a man if he can do it is like hurting his self-esteem. Of course he can do it, but he has to do it if he can't!

With a pang of breath in his chest, unable to get out, Lu Yuanqing glared at Ji Qiu, and now he can only take care of himself, and the group agreed to meet on the left bank of the river.

"Miss, we'll go ashore soon."

You don't need to think about how tragic the river is. Xiao Lingchuan took out a piece of black cloth and covered Li Haitang's eyes. When she was about to speak, she felt a sinking in the back of her neck. Even though she didn't know anything, up.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing!"

Lu Yuanqing behind him pointed at Xiao Lingchuan and stammered, "You..."

Is this to knock people out and throw them into the river?

"Begonia doctor's parents have always been soft-hearted. Some things are better not seen than seen."

Xiao Lingchuan explained patiently, without saying a word, and quickly dodged out of the oppressive cabin.

There were hardly a few people left on the boat. Except for those who had drowned, the rest of the passengers were on the river, holding on to the boards and not letting go. From time to time, people in the river poked their heads and scrambled for the boards.

The wind seemed to be a little weaker, and the rain was blown into oblique lines by the wind, slapping everyone's faces, and they couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears. Every once in a while, someone would die, including pregnant women, babies, old people, and others. A man of prime age...

Li Haitang was lying on a wooden board, covered with a waterproof linoleum cloth, Xiao Lingchuan was in the water, pushing the wooden board with his hands, he could sit on the wooden board with his wife, but in that case, he could not grasp the direction well, and it might make people Li Haitang stayed in the water for a long time.

The river was icy cold, Xiao Lingchuan exerted too much force, his legs suddenly cramped, he didn't even bat an eyelid, when he met someone who came to **** the planks, he would do it directly, not leaving the opponent a retreat, because this was his bottom line. No matter what, he couldn't let his own wife suffer the slightest harm. The life and death of others had nothing to do with him.
