Wei Xi thought that she might starve to death, and she also thought that she might die at the hands of hungry refugees, but she never thought that she would drown.
Not to mention that if she died on the river beach in Tangkou Town, Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi might not be able to find her body.
A three-foot-high river wave hit him. Wei Xi held his breath, grabbed the tall grass with his right hand, and inserted his umbrella into the river bank with his left hand. He turned his back to the river wave, hoping that he could survive this disaster.
The river water first hit Wei Xi on the back. The force was so strong that she almost fainted. She bit the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from fainting. Then her whole body was embedded in the water, and her nose and ears were filled with water. .
It was only because of the breath he had held back that Wei Xi didn't choke to death in the turbid river water.
With such a huge wave, the tall grass that Wei Xi pulled was unable to resist, and was broken from the roots by the river water, becoming part of the flood.
The umbrella that Wei Xi had inserted temporarily was also pulled out and washed away by the river.
Wei Xi's heart screamed in despair, and she shouted silently: Is her life going to end today?
The battle of life and death only takes place in a thought.
At the moment when Wei Xi's will to survive reached its peak, two rapidly extending red ropes were drilled out of Wei Xi's wrist. The two red ropes were not thick, but they seemed to be consciously tied to the surprisingly strong umbrella.
Wei Xi, who was struggling in the waves, had no time to be surprised when he saw the umbrella stuck between two boulders at the bottom of the river.
Wei Xi made a quick decision and seized the slightest chance of survival. Regardless of the severe pain in his arms, he stood firm and walked quickly to the shore.
In order to save her life, Wei Xi used all her strength to feed herself. Stones, branches, and mud in the flood hit her, but she didn't care. She just held on to the red rope and pushed to the shore with all her strength. Walk.
Wei Xi almost reached the river bank. The umbrella stuck between the boulders at the bottom of the river finally couldn't hold on anymore. Wei Xi felt that the red string around his wrist was empty, and he made a desperate move and rushed towards the river bank.
Wei Xi, who was hit on the muddy ground, didn't dare to stop for a moment, and quickly crawled away from the river. After crawling for a few times, he finally stood up.
Wei Xi, who had narrowly escaped death, looked at the roaring and flowing Huanhe River and was frightened. He slumped down far away from the river bank, with Tangkou Town shrouded in heavy rain behind him.
Wei Xi raised her arms. Her hands were those she was accustomed to working with. There was a thin layer of calluses on the palms and fingers. Her wrists were also the same big frame as her parents. There was nothing strange about them.
At least that was the case before, now there was a circle of red marks on each of her wrists.
Wei Xi was no stranger to these red marks. After coming out of the secret realm of Baoxiang City, she also had red marks on her wrists. At that time, she just thought they were traces left by the red rope in the secret realm. After that, the red marks did disappear.
Now that the red rope came out of his wrist and was stretching and contracting like a living thing in a secret realm, Wei Xi didn't know what was going on.
But there are more important things to do at the moment. The skeleton of a monk was clearly buried at the bottom of the pit at the bottom of the river.
Although Wei Xi didn't understand how this skeleton could produce gold, Cheng Xiancheng said before, "It's just a cultivator..." Wei Xi didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly because of the thunder, but combined with the clues and Sun Ji's narration, it turned out that The auxiliary corpse most likely belonged to the beggar monk. After his death, Cheng County Cheng threw it into the Huanhe River to produce gold.
Now that the corpse that Cheng County Cheng relied on for survival was gone, he naturally had to find another one.
Just two of them were sent over, and Wei Xi wanted to rush back to the county office to save Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi.
Wei Xi was soaked to the skin, two ribs were broken, and her whole body ached. Fortunately, her legs were not broken and she could still rush back to the county office.
Lingyin fluttered its wings and fell into Wei Xi's arms, and Wei Xi reluctantly caught it. Just now, Wei Xi let Lingyin fly before entering the water, thus saving Lingyin's life.
The rain was still falling, and the Qiankun bag in Wei Xi's arms was still fine. Wei Xi took out another umbrella from it, but her eyelashes were wet from the rain, which made her eyes uncomfortable.
It's just that she feels uncomfortable all over now, and her nose is choked with a sour, bitter, spicy, and salty taste.
Wei Xi got into Tangkou Town with his spiritual voice. Due to the fire in the county office and the heavy rain, the gate of Tangkou Town was unattended, so Wei Xi returned to the town smoothly.
It was difficult to enter the county government office, so Wei Xi could only endure the severe pain in his ribs and use his flying claw to climb over the wall.
It was almost dawn at this time, which is when people are mentally sleepy. Most of the guards were there to clean up the ruins after Wei Xi set the fire. Wei Xi was lucky and avoided the soldiers of the county government and the guards.
Wei Xi found the guest room according to the approximate location mentioned by Qin Feng. She straightened her clothes and opened a door. There was thunderous snoring inside.
Although she entered the wrong room, Wei Xi's prepared rhetoric was of no use. She closed the door and moved on to the next one.
I happened to bump into Qin Feng who was wandering around.
"Wei Xi!" Qin Feng felt like she was being pardoned. She pointed to a puddle of water beside the table and said anxiously: "The hook is missing!"
"Lian Goupi got caught in the rain, so I asked him to deal with it in the guest room while I went to find out the news. When I came back, there was no trace of him in the house. All that was left was the overturned tea set and this puddle of water."
Wei Xi only said in her heart that it was too bad, she was still late when she came back. Cheng Xian Cheng really came for Qin Feng and Lian Gou Ni, but he probably didn't dare to offend Qin Feng. He happened to see Lian Gou Ni being caught in the rain and was too weak to resist.
Damn it, they really got a soft persimmon on their hands.
No matter how worried Wei Xi was, he could only maintain his composure, otherwise Qin Feng would only become more panicked.
"Lian Gou was caught in the rain and couldn't use his painting skills. He must have been taken away by Cheng County Cheng and the others." Wei Xi calmed Qin Feng's mind.
"The corpse of the monk in the Huanhe River has disappeared. Cheng Xiancheng should have grabbed it and carried it with a hook to fill the hole."
Hearing this, Qin Feng grabbed Gao Han and was about to find Cheng Xian Cheng. Wei Xi grabbed her sleeve and said, "I just came back from Huanhe and I didn't see Cheng Xian Cheng. We have to find another way to rescue Lian Gou."
Qin Feng was anxious and regretful. She had no clue and subconsciously asked Wei Xi, "What should we do?"
"They must have gone another way." Since it was expected that Lian Gouyi would be taken away by Cheng County Cheng's people, Wei Xi, who was lagging behind them, could only go to Huanhe River to intercept them.
In desperation, Qin Feng had an idea and said loudly: "That old official! He was invited by Cheng County Cheng to accompany him. He used to work as an official in the government office. He may know the details of Cheng County Cheng! "
After saying that, Qin Feng took Wei Xi to look for the old official next door. Wei Xi saw that it was the wrong guest room.
Wei Xi had no time to mope, so she poured the cold tea from the teapot on the face of the old man who was snoring loudly on the bed, while drinking Qin Feng who subconsciously wanted to wipe away the water.
The old official suddenly woke up and was about to scold him when he saw a gloomy-looking child throwing the teapot aside, picking up a dagger, and
The old official was so drunk that he couldn't wake up anymore. He was about to beg for mercy when he heard Wei Xi say: "The government office already knows about your matter. People from Wan Jianzong and the government office will be here soon. Now that Cheng County Cheng is gone, we don't know." road, do you want to live or die?"
Thinking of the false accounts he had made for Cheng County Cheng, the old official's face turned pale. Wei Xi had also taken advantage of an old official who was drunk. Otherwise, this threat might not be able to catch the old official, and he would have to use some unsightly means of heaven. s method.
The old official trembled and said: "Master Immortal, have mercy on me! I choose students! I know Cheng County Cheng's secret way!"
