After Chu Xisheng returned to the large driftwood with Chu Yunyun in her arms, she glanced around the river, feeling worried for a while.
Of the more than a hundred passengers on the sand boat, all of them were rescued except for the first few who fell down and are still missing.
Some of them were lying on the board of the boat, some were tied next to the driftwood, and some were floating with a piece of broken wood in their arms. None of them were in danger of their lives for the time being.
The problem is that their location is in the center of the river, at least four miles away from both banks.
Fortunately, the water flow nearby was slow, so there was no risk of them being swept downstream.
Just as Chu Xisheng was contemplating how to get ashore, he heard a cheer from behind.
"Look, that's the Iron Flag Gang's ship!"
"Come here, the Iron Flag Gang's ship is coming towards us."
"God bless you! I hope we can survive. The people in the Iron Flag Gang are indeed good men and will not sit idly by."
Chu Xisheng immediately turned around and looked at the river behind him. As expected, a large sand ship was seen sailing towards this side. Three large black flags were hung on the mast of the sand ship. In the center of the black flags was a vigorous and powerful word 'iron'.
The sand boat came along the water, and after approaching them, it spread its sails, slowed down, and lowered four rope ladders.
More than a dozen sailors jumped from the ship to help the passengers who fell into the water board the ship.
Chu Xisheng also grabbed a rope ladder and carried the "weak" Chu Yunyun onto the boat.
It's a pity that the cheap sister didn't let him hold her after she boarded the deck.
Chu Xisheng was worried that Chu Yunyun would break his neck if he got nervous, so he let go and placed Chu Yunyun on the side of the ship.
At this moment, a soaked man came over. He bowed to Chu Xisheng with tears of gratitude: "You are the Master Chu Xisheng who killed that He Luoyu, right? Mr. Chu saved his life. I have nothing to repay, I just wish that Mr. Chu will live a long life and be blessed with endless blessings."
Following this figure, everyone on the deck reacted and bowed in Chu Xisheng's direction.
"Mr. Chu! I have a family of four, old and young, and I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace."
"My benefactor, please accept my respects!"
"I was lucky enough to hear the name of Chu Engong half a month ago. It is rumored that he is the number one person in the inner sect of Zhengyang Martial Arts School. Unexpectedly, today, Chu Engong took action and saved the lives of my family."
Chu Xisheng immediately glanced sideways and glanced in the direction of Lu Luanli.
Lu Luanli opened his eyes and glared back fiercely, with a warning in his eyes.
This guy dares to say a random word?
Chu Xisheng had no intention of exposing Lu Luanli.
I'm used to having to take the blame, not to mention there are benefits.
A small firework exploded in his field of vision, and the number of martial arts points increased to 33.
There are not many, but no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat.
Chu Xisheng secretly clicked his tongue and looked away from Lu Luanli.
He helped the people around him up one by one, and said in a gentle voice: "Everyone, please stand up. I don't dare to take it. It was me and Junior Sister Lu over there who just worked together to kill the Ho Luoyu. Let's kill it." I am trying to get rid of this monster to save myself, so I don’t deserve such a great gift from you.”
He was still too shy to admit it directly, so he used a vague explanation.
Chu Xisheng thought that he had indeed put in some effort. He saved more than 20 people today and took the blame.
At this time, a red-faced strong man wearing a green cloth short coat walked over at a fast pace. He glanced at Chu Xisheng intently, and then clasped his fists with excitement: "Young Master is from Zhengyang Martial Arts School. Chu Xisheng Chu Engong?"
He didn't wait for Chu Xisheng to speak, and knelt down with his fists clasped: "I, Li Dehou, the incense leader of the Iron Banner Gang, thank you, Master Chu! Your kindness in risking your own life to save my deputy banner master will be unforgettable by everyone in the Iron Banner Gang!"
Following his words, the surrounding Iron Banner Gang members were all moved, and along with Li Dehou, they clasped their fists and half-knelt on the ground.
The people who were rescued around him were also buzzing for a while.
Some of them have heard of Chu Xisheng's name, but few know that Chu Xisheng actually saved the life of the deputy banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang.
However, it can be confirmed from this that the one who killed the He Luoyu was indeed Chu Xisheng!
Even Xie Zhenqing in the crowd was relieved of his doubts.
She saw that Chu Xisheng's clothes were all dry and he had obviously never been in the water, so she doubted the authenticity of Lu Luanli's words.
But now it seems that there must be another reason why Chu Xisheng's clothes are not wet.
Xie Zhenqing guessed that it might be caused by spells and talismans that had the effect of avoiding water.
The key is that except Chu Xisheng, no one else on the boat can kill the Ho Luo fish.
At this time, within Chu Xisheng's field of vision, another small firework appeared.
The number of his martial arts points increased to 34.
※※※※
Li Dehou, the incense master of the Iron Flag Gang, was extremely enthusiastic about Chu Xisheng. Not only did he put a table of wine and food on the boat to entertain the three of Chu Xisheng, he also invited him to the Chief Helmsman of the Iron Flag Gang and his party. Said that their deputy flag-bearer had longed for him as their savior.
Chu Xisheng declined. He really had something important to do today and it was not convenient for him to go.
Li Dehou could only send them to the ferry at the East Bank Ancient Market with great regret, and then left by boat.
His sand ship was supposed to transport goods to Linhai County in the lower reaches of the Shenxiu River. But on the way, they discovered people who had fallen into the water, so they rushed to rescue them.
Before leaving, Li Dehou specially told Chu Xisheng. It was said that Tie Xiaosheng had already informed the entire Iron Banner Gang of his name.
In the future, he only needs to report his name at various ferries in Xiushui County, and he can take the boats for free.
There is also the ancient market, where there is a hall of the Iron Flag Gang. If Chu Xisheng encounters something that cannot be solved in the ancient market, he can go to the Tieqi Gang's hall for help.
After Chu Xisheng landed, she asked Lu Luanli with a smile: "Junior Sister Lu came to the ancient market, but what is the important matter?"
It means if something happens, leave quickly and don't follow.
Lu Luanli glanced at the long and hard package behind Chu Xisheng's back, and with a sudden thought, he guessed that Chu Xisheng was here to sell the swords from the Fire Bone Cave.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, and she took out a dagger from her sleeve: "I'm here to sell this thing. Say goodbye!"
After Lu Luanli finished speaking, he walked forward without any hesitation.
After taking a few steps, Lu Luanli turned around and looked at Chu Xisheng in great surprise: "Eh? Senior Brother Chu, and Junior Sister Yunyun, why are you following me?"
Chu Xisheng had nothing to say. The largest weapons market in the black market was just south of the ancient market. He could only follow Lu Luanli.
Chu Yunyun in the back burst into laughter upon hearing this.
But with Lu Luanli around, she could only continue to pretend to be weak.
After all, she fell into the water and stayed in the water for a long time.
Even a normal magician can't bear this, let alone a sickly girl like her?
