The man who was rescued stepped forward and asked, "Do you need any help, benefactor?"
Lou Yunchun looked at the bamboo raft coming over and said to him, "We are going to board the raft to cross the river. Please help me stabilize the raft."
The raftsman pulled the raft to the water's edge and threw the rope ashore. The person being rescued quickly stepped forward to catch it and cooperated with the raftsman to pull the raft ashore.
"Old Yang, it's you."
"What a coincidence."
The two knew each other and greeted each other in their local dialect.
Seeing that he was soaking wet, Lao Yang jokingly asked, "Are you going fishing?"
The rescued man smiled bitterly, "I didn't catch any fish and almost became a water ghost."
Lao Yang: “Hahahaha.”
When the two men saw Lou Yunchun carrying someone over, they quickly stopped talking, stabilized the bamboo raft, and helped to support the person.
After Xu Jiang boarded the raft, Lao Yang took a few looks at her and thought to himself, "This brother has good taste. She's a lovely lady." He then spread out a stool and asked Xu Jiang to sit down.
Xu Jiang said gratefully, "Thank you, brother."
Also a generous one.
Lou Yunchun bowed to the man on the shore to express his gratitude, then sat down next to Xu Jiang and supported her.
Old Yang asked the man to come along, but he shook his head and said, "After the bridge is built, I will go back to Beishan. You guys can go."
The three of them said goodbye to him.
With a horn, the bamboo raft left the shore and floated towards the ferry.
The two of them clung to each other, crossed the rapids, and reached the other side together.
"Oh." After getting ashore, Xu Jiang slapped his head, "I was just taking care of myself. Where are Shan Bo and the others?"
"Master!"
“Ajahn!”
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a shout from the river. The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a awning boat coming from the opposite side. On the boat were Shan Bo, Liu Mei and others.
After landing, several people rushed towards Lou Yunchun.
Shan Bo excitedly said, "Master, it's really you! When did you come?"
Lou Yunchun smiled at him and said, "Just arrived." Then he asked, "Are you all okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Everyone responded in unison.
Liu Mei looked at him several times. His wet clothes stuck to Lou Yunchun, making him look even thinner. Tears welled up in her eyes, "Young Master has lost weight."
Lou Yunchun comforted him, "The journey is full of twists and turns, it's inevitable, just rest for a few days."
The guards were also talking to Lou Yunchun one after another.
Lou Yunchun also agreed.
Xu Jiang watched from the side and felt that after not seeing him for a long time, he seemed much more humane, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
She likes Lou Yunchun like this.
Shan Bo saw that Lou Yunchun was soaking wet, and then he remembered to ask, "Master, how did you fall into the water?"
Then, the river breeze blew, and without waiting for Lou Yunchun to reply, he hurriedly urged: "These clothes are soaked. Let's go back to the inn to take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, and then slowly reminisce about the past."
With Shan Bo around, Lou Yunchun felt much more at ease. His tense body and mind relaxed, and he couldn't help but sway.
Xu Jiang, who was standing by, hurried to support him, but this support pulled on his own sore spot, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Lou Yunchun quickly calmed himself down and said to the others, "A Jiang's foot is injured."
Seeing Xu Jiang's pale face and her holding one foot high, Liu Mei quickly embraced her and let her lean against her. "How did you get hurt? Is it serious?"
"Not bad." Xu Jiang forced a smile at her, and then seeing Lou Yunchun staring at her, she leaned against Liu Mei and acted weak.
Seeing that both of them were in poor condition, Shan Bo hurriedly asked one of the guards to go back and drive the carriage, and asked another to call a doctor. The remaining one helped to help Lou Yunchun and Xu Jiang to the embankment.
Lou Yunchun bowed to the raftsman and thanked him. The man waved to them, watched them leave, and then went back to the other side to pick up other people.
The guards acted quickly, and since the post house was not far away, the carriage arrived soon.
Several people helped Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun get on the car, and Liu Mei followed to take care of them. In just a moment, the group returned to the inn.
The guards who stayed behind had arranged a room for Lou Yunchun. Upon hearing that Lou Yunchun had fallen into the water, they asked the servants to prepare hot water.
Several people first sent Xu Jiang back to her room. After Lou Yunchun asked Liu Mei to take good care of her, he went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes.
After everyone left, Xu Jiang hurriedly asked Liu Mei to close the door, then took off her clothes and asked Liu Mei to check her wound.
It’s not good to wait for the doctor to come and check before doing so. That would be bad.
"Where are you hurt?" Liu Mei helped her undress, and heard her gasping for breath, not daring to use any strength in her hands.
When the clothes were undressed, it was Liu Mei who gasped. She saw red marks and bruises on Xu Jiang's arms, shoulders, waist, and legs. She cried out in disbelief, "How did this happen?"
"When the bridge collapsed, it was swept away by the crowd. Some people were hit, some fell, and some were trampled."
Fortunately, there were not too many people around her at the time. When they saw her fall, many people avoided her. In addition, Du Hui appeared in time, so she saved her life.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and protected my head and chest, otherwise I would have been stepped on and it would have been very dangerous.
"I really shouldn't have joined in the fun." Liu Mei looked at her injuries, her eyes burning with pain. She gently pressed a bruise and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, press it again." Only after pressing it again did we know whether the injury was to the bone or not.
"It would be strange if it doesn't hurt." Liu Mei pursed her lips, looking nervous. She applied moderate pressure on her hands, causing cold sweat to break out on Xu Jiang's forehead.
After examination, it was found that there were no bone injuries on Xu Jiang's body. Only her right ankle and right elbow were severely swollen. She screamed when touched, but she could still bend and rotate, so her bones should not be broken.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll get some medicine to apply on your body first. Your hands and feet still need to be carefully diagnosed by the doctor." Liu Mei took a coat and put it on her, then went to find medicine.
