Sun Ergou's face was covered in blood, sweat, tears, and rain; he looked terrible.
"The leader distributed all the soft armor to the brothers."
At first, we could have dealt with the Prince of Jiangning's men, but then the Prince of Runan's pursuers arrived. Our leader, to save a brother, was shot in the shoulder with an arrow. Without time to treat his wound, he pretended to fall into the water, but actually led a dozen or so men to launch a surprise attack on the Prince of Runan's ship.
One of the brothers who went with him to stab the boat said, "After the boat was pierced, he was too exhausted and was swept away by the whirlpool."
"See? I told you not to stay up so late, but you didn't listen." Li Ruo's face was very ugly.
Brothers: Holy crap, even someone made of iron couldn't withstand that kind of situation.
Brother A: "The boss's knife wound hadn't healed before, and then he was hit by an arrow, making his injuries even worse."
Brother B: "The eldest brother brought some life jackets, but he distributed them to the brothers and didn't have any for himself."
Waaah, the leader was too good to the brothers. They couldn't stop him. They've let the leader down.
Li Ruo really wanted to curse, but she held back. "The water flowed towards General Mountain. We split into three groups. Sun Ergou led his brothers in the middle, Xiao Lizi and Ye Ling'er led their men on the left, and I led the right."
"Oh!" the crowd responded.
Suddenly realizing something was amiss, Sun Ergou asked, "Sister, are you alone?"
Li Ruo had already moved to the side of the boat. Before anyone could see her clearly, she had jumped onto a small boat—wait, where did she come from?
"If you don't want your boss to die, then set off. But if you can't find your way back, don't turn back. Go straight back to General Mountain," Li Ruo shouted.
"Sister!" Sun Ergou called out, but the small boat had already drifted away with the current.
The rain grew heavier, and the water became misty; Li Ruo soon disappeared from sight.
If we don't go find the boss soon, we'll really be gone. Sun Ergou gritted his teeth and said, "Do as my sister says! Let's go."
Li Ruo didn't want to take a small boat. At this moment, every second counted, and the small boat was too slow. So, after getting on the small boat and leaving their sight, she reluctantly bought a motorboat from the system store, losing five million points in the process!
My points are down to a lonely 90,000. Waaah!
Although... having a jet ski is just so awesome!
She retracted the small boat into her spatial storage, then rode the motorboat, cutting through the waves while keeping her eyes and ears open, shouting as she went, "Xie Xiao!"
"Thank you, Boss Xie!"
"Thank you, Woodbird!"
Hopefully, his protagonist aura will shine on him at a crucial moment, and he won't actually die.
The wind and rain lashed her face, stinging like knives. Okay, she took back the word "satisfying."
It felt nothing like sailing on the sea in the summer, and it wasn't pleasant at all! It was both painful and cold.
"Xie Xiao!"
If I can't find you, I won't be able to hold on much longer.
"Xie Xiao!"
Only her voice echoed throughout the world.
Li Ruo had never been so nervous before, not even when she was on the most dangerous missions in her previous life.
Her heart clenched every time she encountered a floating corpse.
no.
That's not it either.
After driving for half an hour without finding it, Li Ruo refueled the motorboat and drove for another half hour, exhausted.
My throat is about to crack from shouting.
The wind howled in her ears, a gust of rain hit her, and her eyes stung. She closed them.
This scene feels like a dream.
Li Ruo suddenly wondered if she would open her eyes and find herself lying in a hospital on a small island.
But the reality is that when she opened her eyes, she was still running around in the cold wind and rain.
She continued searching for about half an hour, as one corpse after another was washed up, until she was exhausted from searching.
"Xie Xiao! If you hear me, just say something!"
"If you don't show up soon, I'm not going to care about you anymore."
"Thanks--"
Suddenly, "beep..."
She thought she heard a whistle.
Li Ruoxin's heart pounded wildly.
She stopped the jet ski, listened intently, and as her heart raced faster, another beep sounded.
Then came two beeps: "Beep beep—"
Three beeps: "Beep beep beep—"
Fourth tone: "Beep beep beep beep—"
The sound of whistles could be heard through the rain and mist.
Li Ruo's eyes lit up. "I'm Xie Xiao! As expected of you!"
"Xie Xiao!"
Li Ruo had excellent hearing. She went in the direction of the sound and sure enough, she saw Xie Xiao. He grabbed onto a small raft that seemed to have come from nowhere, climbed on it, lay down on it, and looked in her direction for a moment before closing his eyes.
His face was as pale as a ghost, but he was tightly biting the whistle she had given him.
Li Ruo's eyes welled up with tears. She pulled him onto the motorboat with all her might and patted his face. "Xie Xiao, Xie Xiao, don't fall asleep."
Sure enough, there was a broken arrow in his shoulder blade. The bleeding had stopped, but his hands and feet were frighteningly cold.
If he weren't still breathing, I would have thought he was dead.
Li Ruo kept patting his face.
"I make a living with my looks... Don't hit me..." He finally managed to utter a sound, hoarse and no better than Li Ruo.
Li Ruo: "I knew you wouldn't die."
They didn't know where they were, but there was a mountain not far away. Li Ruo told him to stay behind her and said, "Hold on to me and don't let go. If you let go, you're dead."
She didn't want to bail him out again.
Xie Xiao didn't respond, his eyes barely open, but his hands were tightly wrapped around her waist, getting tighter and tighter. Li Ruo was almost out of breath by the time they reached the edge of the mountain and wanted to kick him away.
Perhaps this place is too remote, because we didn't see any living refugees.
There seemed to be a cave at the entrance to the water. Li Ru threw a burning cloth into it, but it didn't go out and made no sound.
She retracted the motorboat into her spatial storage and dragged Xie Xiao inside.
The cave was quite large, with the water reaching her ankles. She found a relatively clean rock, took a cotton blanket from her spatial storage, and laid it on the rock, intending to have him lie on it. However, she slipped, and the two of them fell on it together, crushing the broken arrow behind him.
Xie Xiao grunted.
Li Ruo quickly got off him, forcefully flipped him over, and tore open his robe in a few quick movements, mocking, "You're really something, aren't you? Your back isn't lagging behind either, and you're even more injured than the front."
With a wave of his hand, Li Ruo conjured up a pile of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory tools and medicines. In the next instant, without even blinking, he pulled the arrow out of the man's shoulder blade.
Xie Xiao didn't even have time to groan.
The arrow clattered as it hit the rock, and Xie Xiao finally reacted, hissing as he gasped for breath, which jolted him somewhat awake.
Finally, I opened my eyes and saw the girl next to me clearly.
"It really is you..."
Damn, I thought I was dreaming.
Suddenly he reached out a hand and grabbed her busy hand.
"What? Can't you see I'm healing you? You want to do it yourself?" Li Ruo's voice was hoarse as she glared at him irritably.
Xie Xiao scoffed lightly, "I just want to confirm whether I'm still alive."
It was her—the tone of her voice, her expression, her warm hands.
Li Ruo pried his hands off, but he was surprised at how tightly he was gripping her. "If you don't let go, you'll really die. I'll beat you to death!"
I worried for nothing.
