Jiang Miao woke up from her nightmare, her face pale and her heart palpitating.
Wu Yue was sleeping next door to her, and when she heard Jiang Miao's exclamation, she hurried over because she was afraid something would happen.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Jiang Miao's pale face and the sweat on her forehead, she thought she was sick and wanted to bring Qiao Songyun over, but Jiang Miao stopped her.
"No, please let me slow down. I'm not sick, I just had a nightmare..."
"What dream scared you so much?"
Wu Yue saw that Jiang Miao was determined not to let Qiao Songyun come over, so she didn't insist anymore. She reached out and touched Jiang Miao's forehead. It was true that she didn't have a fever. She was really frightened by her sweating profusely.
Jiang Miao didn't reply, she still hadn't realized what she was dreaming about.
Since leaving Dayan, she has dreamed about Shen Yanqing many times. Most of the dreams were about their previous interactions, and there was never anything bad about her.
Only this time, she dreamed that Shen Yanqing was floating on the sea with a bloody face, and the water under him was dyed red with blood. In the dream, she called him anxiously many times, but Shen Yanqing didn't respond. The sea water kept drifting forward, and Jiang Miao wanted to chase it, but she was caught by the seaweed and could only watch Shen Yanqing getting further and further away.
Seeing that Jiang Miao was still immersed in her dream, Wu Yue wiped the cold sweat from her head with a handkerchief and comforted her with a gentle voice.
"Master, as the saying goes, dreams are all wrong. How can a smart person like you believe such a thing? Liu Meng and the others are already waiting. Let's go ashore first."
After entering the city, the master will no longer think about the things in the dream.
Jiang Miao knew that Wu Yue was comforting her. She also knew that last night was just a dream. Shen Yanqing was staying in Qiongzhou now. How could something happen? All of this was just unfounded worries on her part.
She curled her lips and smiled, but the panic in her heart never stopped.
After being away from home for more than three months, she wanted to go back.
…
"Where is your lord? Have you found your lord?"
On the dark sea surface, there were waves of calls. Under the heavy rain, the light of the lantern flickered and went out, lightning illuminated the horizon, and the people on the boat were already in a mess.
They never expected that a wave would hit Shen Yanqing on the deck and be swept into the sea.
The ship hit the rocks. At this time, there was a big hole in the hull, and the sea water poured in. The people on the ship were too busy to take care of themselves, but Shen Yanqing's disappearance was more important than their own safety. If something happened to Shen Yanqing, they Everyone risked their lives and couldn't afford the compensation.
"Have you found it? Is your Excellency among these rocks?"
"It's too dark, we can't see!"
Moreover, the waves were still surging, and the ship had sunk quite a bit. They could no longer stand still, let alone find anyone.
Lin Jing and his men dived into the sea. If it had been normal, they would have searched the whole sea area with their water skills, and they would not be like headless flies now.
A few people were searching hard against the waves. Because the waves were big and fast, they would be swept away if they were not careful. Moreover, there were dense rocks here, and if they hit it, their lives would be in danger.
Shen Yanqing couldn't swim. When he was swept down by the waves, the boat happened to reach the reef forest. Lin Jing didn't dare to think about whether Shen Yanqing could survive if he hit the rocks.
"Brother Lin, we have searched here three times. There is no trace of the adult. Could he have been involved in other places..."
Several people returned to the ship. At this time, they were exhausted. They continued to search just because of fatigue.
The sea area is so big and there are strong waves. People who fall into the sea don't know where they are going as soon as they fall into it. Finding them is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
How could Lin Jing not know how difficult it was, but the person who fell into the sea was their master, the governor of Qiongzhou City, and the chief assistant of Dayan. If something happened to such a person, Dayan would be shaken.
And when Jiang Miao comes back, how can she bear to hear such news?
They husband and wife are Dayan's mascots and the backbone of the people. They must not let anything go wrong. Therefore, they have to continue looking for people.
"Take turns to go down with me, while the others go to the boat to rest."
Lin Jing calmed down, and when he regained some strength, he continued to dive into the water with his men.
…
When the storm came, Shen Yanqing was standing on the deck, looking in the direction of Luo Guo. He was wondering whether Jiang Miao had reached the shore at this time, and whether there were other dangers along the way.
The most inconvenient thing at sea compared to the mainland was communication. He had no idea what happened to Jiang Miao, so he was so worried.
But along the way, except for some unworthy water bandits, he encountered no other dangers. He was a little relieved. Maybe the inexplicable forces in Xu Ziwen's letter were not enough to be afraid of, and they would also be afraid of Dayan. power, so they will not embarrass Jiang Miao and the others.
However, before he could relax, a wave came over and swept him into the sea.
Shen Yanqing has learned a little bit of everything, but he has never learned how to swim, so the moment he was swept into the sea by the waves, his mind went blank. His hands and feet in the water seemed not to be his own, and were not under his control at all. The more he struggled, the more people he felt. The more he was wrapped in water, the weaker his consciousness became in the end, and Shen Yanqing could only drift farther and farther with the waves.
And there are rocks here, and the high waves will not let him escape. The unconscious man hit the rocks, and the blood that flowed out turned the sea water red, and he completely lost consciousness.
…
"Madam, there is a dead person here!"
Feng Rui has a habit of taking a walk in the morning. She gets up early and takes her servants out at dawn. At this time, apart from the patrolling guards, she is the only one on the island.
The guards of Fengdao all know Feng Rui's walking route. In order not to collide with their master, they will avoid the place where she appears. Therefore, when Shen Yanqing was blown to the shore, Feng Rui was the first person to find him.
The maid Xiaoxiang exclaimed when she saw the man on the beach. Feng Rui heard the sound and went away and saw the injured man.
It was just a dead person. There had been people blown to the shore before. Although Feng Rui had never seen it, she had heard others say it. She didn't want to deal with it at first, but the man's black hair and the clothes on his body made Feng Rui stop.
Except for Feng Lian, she has never seen a man's hair grow so well, like satin. Even if it is messy at the moment, the luster is hard to ignore.
Xiaoxiang wanted to find someone, but Feng Rui quickly stopped her.
"Wait, let's see if he is alive first."
Feng Rui had heard a lot about Dayan's deeds from Jiang Ru these days. When she saw this man, the appearance of a Dayan person gradually appeared in her mind. His dress was that of a Dayan person.
Feng Rui knew that if the guards on the island found him, they would take him away, and it would be difficult for her to see him.
Therefore, the discovery of a man should not be made public.
