"My name is Qin Sang. I work with the shopkeeper. This time I was caught by a group of bandits when I went out to purchase goods. Yesterday, those bandits met their deadly enemies. I took advantage of the chaos to escape but lost my way. My leg was also injured. I had to use help.
The raft was drifting in the river. Unexpectedly, it drifted into the river after falling asleep. Fortunately, all the benefactors came to rescue..."
Qin Sang sat on the deck, surrounded by a circle of strong men with swords on their waists, wrapped in an old cotton coat, regaining some warmth, and softly told the story.
The man who got off the boat to rescue Qin Sang was standing in front of him. He was about forty years old, with a thin face and looked like a scholar. He was dressed like other strong men, wearing cloud boots and a green outfit.
There is a sword hanging on his waist, and his posture is tall and straight, looking very capable.
After walking on the water for a long time, this man's whole body was still fresh, and only the soles of his shoes were stained with water.
The other strong men respected him very much and called him Boss Bai, who should be their leader.
This kind of person couldn't possibly be a water bandit from the Running Boat Gang. Listening to their words, they sounded like some kind of bodyguard. Qin Sang relaxed a little.
When telling the reason, Qin Sang subconsciously concealed the part about the encounter with the immortal. After calming down, he realized that although the Bai boss was not a mortal, he was far from an immortal master who could fly with a sword.
"We are destined to meet each other, and it is our duty to lend a helping hand. There is no need to mention any benefactor! My surname is Bai, and my name is Jiang Lan. I am a few years older than Brother Qin. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Bai...
"
Boss Bai also spoke with a bit of chivalry. He squatted down, glanced at the large blood stain on Qin Sang's chest, and said with a smile: "When I saw you, you were lying motionless on the raft. We thought the raft
There is a corpse on top. Fortunately, you sat up on your own... Come, let me help you look at your leg injury."
As he spoke, Bai Jianglan put his hand on Qin Sang's calf and closed his eyes slightly.
After a moment, Qin Sang suddenly felt a warm current coming out of Bai Jianglan's fingers, entering his calf, then traveling up the blood vessels, and finally spreading to his whole body. Under the infiltration of that warm current, the cold and damp air on his body actually
Was swept away.
The warm current traveled around his body and then converged again on the injured area of his calf. At first, a numbness and itch came from the painful area, and then the pain was reduced by half.
Qin Sang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Bai, are you the legendary immortal master? My leg is healed?"
The strong men around laughed loudly, "Boy, you can kill even bandits, don't you know this is true energy? You are lucky, you met Boss Bai, and he was willing to use his true energy to help you heal your injuries. Thank you very much, Boss Bai."
!”
Qin Sang quickly thanked him.
Bai Jianglan retracted his palm, calmed down his energy and blood, opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Sang, and said: "It seems that you really don't understand martial arts. I am just a martial artist, not an immortal master, and I don't have the methods of an immortal master. This true energy is also
It's called internal force. Although it can help you relieve pain, it is difficult to heal your injury. Your leg bones are not broken, but there are just a few fractures. I have used internal force to dissolve the congestion in the injured area. I just need to get off the boat.
Find a doctor and prescribe a few bone-nourishing decoctions, and within a month you will be back to your original state..."
"Miss Chuntao is here!"
A soft cry interrupted Bai Jianglan's words.
Everyone fell silent and dispersed to both sides. Bai Jianglan also stood up and turned around to look over.
Qin Sang could see at this time that everyone was now near the stern of the ship. There were no lights in the row of cabins in front. Only the one in the middle was arranged into a flower hall, with candles burning inside. The candlelight came from the flower windows.
It can be seen through, but the inside and outside of the flower window are covered with gauze, so the inside of the flower hall cannot be seen.
At this time, the door of the flower hall was ajar, and a slender figure came over carrying a lantern. When he came closer, he saw that it was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The little girl was wearing a light green dress, which was of good quality. It was obviously not able to withstand the late night river breeze, and her cold hands were shaking a little.
Those big and thick men seemed to be afraid of her. When they saw the little girl approaching, they all gave way and bowed respectfully, "I've seen Miss Chuntao."
Maybe it's their boss, Qin Sang thought to himself.
"Commander Bai, Miss asked me to ask you, why did you stop the ship here?"
Chuntao looked worried and walked forward with a frown on her face. She was a bit shorter than Bai Jianglan. She tried her best to hold up the lantern and almost hit it in Bai Jianglan's face. She stared at Bai Jianglan with almond-shaped eyes and asked displeasedly.
Bai Jianglan clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Miss Chuntao, please tell me. Just now we saw a raft in danger in the middle of the river. There are still people on the raft, so we stopped the boat to rescue. Now that the people have been rescued, we will set sail."
Hearing this, Chuntao glanced down at Qin Sang, lowered the lantern, and threw it into Qin Sang's face.
Qin Sang didn't dare to neglect her, straightened up, nodded with a silly smile.
Before he could say thanks, Chuntao snorted coldly, "Come here, throw him down!"
Qin Sang was shocked. He didn't expect this pretty little girl to be so cruel and looked at Bai Jianglan hurriedly.
Bai Jianglan frowned slightly and waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, "Miss Chuntao, you must not..."
Chuntao's beautiful eyebrows suddenly flew up, she pointed at Bai Jianglan's nose and cursed, her voice was a bit sharp, "The surname is Bai! The prince asked you to escort the eldest lady, and this is how you protect him? This little thief has a sly eyebrow, and his body is covered with blood. At first glance, he
If he is not a good person, how dare you let him board the ship? If he is an assassin and disturbs the lady, how many brains do you have!"
"Miss Chuntao, please calm down," Bai Jianglan was good-tempered and explained in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "I have just asked you carefully. This brother Qin is not skilled in martial arts. He is a poor man who was harmed by mountain bandits. He escaped with his life by luck. The blood on his body is full of blood.
There is no reason not to save those who come to kill him. Besides, Brother Qin’s leg bone is injured and it is difficult to walk. With us brothers watching, he will not disturb the young lady."
Seeing that Bai Jianglan was determined to save people, Chuntao rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't there two small boats towing behind this boat? Give him one and tell him to get out!"
Qin Sang took a breath and saw that the river was vast and boundless. The autumn tide was in full swing. It was more dangerous than the Yangtze River in the previous life. There were many shadows of mountains on both sides of the river. There were no lights. From time to time, there were a few strange screams and roars. It was like a ghost land.
.
He went down the river in a small boat and died without knowing how.
This little girl is so cruel!
Bai Jianglan said: "Miss Chuntao doesn't know something. This place has just entered the Jiudien Gorge of Wuling River. There are high cliffs and dangerous mountains on both sides of the river. There are no human settlements and ferocious beasts are rampant. You can only go down the river. But this Jiudien Gorge is
The Wuling River is the fastest and most dangerous place. If the boat is lowered, it will capsize. Why not let the Qin brothers stay in the stern cabin and set sail now. They can cross the Jiudien Gorge and arrive at Sanwu City early tomorrow morning.
Brother Qin, put it down. I will personally guard it on the deck tonight to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
