Shen Huanzhi also went missing the second time he went into the water to look for someone, but he did not say anything, it could be said that in the past few days, other than commanding the people to look for someone, he did not say anything unnecessary. When Zhao Zhang was looking for someone, he kept on staring at him, forcing him to eat and drink a little, but he knew, Gu Yun would not be able to sleep even if he had his eyes closed, and the amount of food he was carrying out became more and more, and sometimes, he did not even use his chopsticks, or else.
On the very first day they had arrived at the Azure Province, Fang Yu was kneeling outside the door. For two to three days, Gu Yun had not spoken a single word to her, and with Fang Yu's stubborn temper, she continued to kneel just like that, even though Dong Ri's weather was so cold, her entire body had already stiffened into a rock, and her face was devoid of human color. Zhao Zhang could not bear to watch anymore, and advised her, ”Fang Yu, you should stop messing around with me.
Gu Yun would never forgive her, Fang Yu was clear in her heart, regardless of whether the Madam could find him, the First Young Master would never forgive her, it would be fine if he really wanted to beat her up, but even if he were to cut her up twice, she would still recognize it. He might ignore him, but the Eldest Young Master's meaning was very clear, she was no longer his subordinate.
She wanted to cry for the first time, but she couldn't. She made up her mind, stood up with her stiff legs, and stumbled out, walking far away. After that, she turned around, looked back, gritted her teeth, and left without looking back. If Madam really could not find him back, then she would have to compensate him with her life sooner or later, but before that, she had to kill Gu Qing for her revenge.
When Shen Huanzhi regained his senses, he was lying on a riverbank that no one was on. His entire body was already so cold that it was numb, and he couldn't feel any pain or pain at all. He could only absorb the warmth of the sun as much as he could, and then, his fingers and toes slowly felt sensation.
Shen Huanzhi rubbed his swollen head as he recalled everything that had happened to him. The first time he jumped into the water, he followed Xi, and only floated back up after he used up all his energy. He couldn't find the person he was looking for, so he went back to the boat and ordered everything, including asking Song Yanchen to send people to help him, as well as to prepare for him to enter the water again.
The boat had been following him all this time, and several of the best swimmers had gone into the water with him. For safety's sake, each of them was tied up with a rope, but he had found someone who wanted to cut the rope in half and then encountered a sudden torrent.
Shen Huanzhi observed his surroundings, which was completely empty. He did not know where he was at the moment, and he did not know whether Xie Jingxi would be like him, swept up onto the riverbank, so Shen Huanzhi decided to look around. If he was lucky enough to meet someone, he might be able to contact them.
Shen Huanzhi was located further away from the village, so he hadn't noticed anyone for a long time. He walked along the riverbank for a long time, and when he arrived late at night, he finally found a small fishing boat that was returning. Shen Huanzhi was overjoyed.
The fishing boat was really small, and on the boat was an elderly couple, and the couple only managed to get a few small fish for a day. Seeing that, Shen Huanzhi was disappointed, as this meant that the place had to be extremely remote, but for fishing villages with a bit of size, water beauties and fishes, life was very good, with fewer people and fewer boats, and fewer contacts with the outside world, it might not be discovered so easily.
However, he had never heard of the name of the village, so the fishermen's words were unclear. The furthest he could tell was that there was a Quadruple Town tens of kilometers away, and this was the furthest place they had ever been, so much that they did not even know which prefecture or county the Quadruple Town belonged to.
Since he could not get a clear answer out of them at the moment, Shen Huanzhi asked them about something else, ”Old man, are there any other fishermen in the village?”
The fisherman waved his hand at him, ”Not much, the fish here are pitifully young. Those who can't count on us all go out to work. Besides us, there's no other way to survive. Who would suffer like this?”
”Then you two will leave the ship every day. Did you notice anyone else? Even an outsider like me might have been washed away by the water.”
The old couple looked at each other and shook their heads, ”No, this is the size of the village, and there is an outsider coming in, everyone must know. In any case, we didn't see any outsider rushing in here, there were once in a while, but most of them are dead people, so we won't be able to survive.”
unconsciously frowned. If Xi did not rush over here, then it would be even more troublesome, he herself did not know how to leave, nor did she know how to save others. But no matter what, since he could be washed ashore alive, there was at least half a chance that Xi could survive.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Huanzhi decided to stay the night in the village. The old couple were initially hesitant, because having an extra person to eat was not something they could handle. Shen Huanzhi did not have any money on him, but he still had a jade pendant on him.
