The hill was not large, about thirty meters in radius, or perhaps even smaller, covered with low bushes and grasses, surrounded on all sides by floodwaters, and became an isolated island, almost as far as the island could see.

On the isolated island at this time, in addition to Xu Jin and Li Shizhen, there was also a deadly tiger and a group of wild deer. The tiger occupies the thickest part of the bush on the isolated island, which is the coolest, and the bush blocks the scorching midday sun.

There were probably seven or eight of them, and they stood at the top of the island, looking around tremblingly, looking for a way out of danger, but there was no way to escape from the flood on all sides.

Xu Jin also wants to catch a wild deer to satisfy his hunger, which is better than eating raw rat meat, but it is not easy to catch these wild elves who are as timid as mice and good at running. There was still half a wild deer next to the tiger that had not been eaten, but it was obviously an act of seeking death.

The tiger had eaten his lunch, lazily rested in the shadow of the bushes, occasionally opened his tiger eyes and glanced at Xu Jin and Li Shizhen, and then continued to close his eyes, probably classifying the two of them as wild deer, just a plate of lunch to be slaughtered.

Xu Jin calmed down from the initial fright, walked a few steps with the bamboo stick that was comforting him, and found that the tiger had no intention of attacking, so he mustered up his courage and took Li Shizhen to go around the isolated island along the water's edge, hoping to find a way to avoid the tiger's mouth.

It's a pity that Xu Jin walked around the isolated island and didn't even find a tall tree, but it wasn't that he didn't have any gains, Xu Jin picked up an empty clay pot that floated down from the upstream by the water's edge.

Xu Jin filled a jar of turbid flood water in a clay pot, then rested it on a stone and waited for the precipitation to clear before drinking. Of course, this post-disaster sewage is full of germs, and it is better to boil it before drinking, but unfortunately there is no fire now.

The noon sun was fierce, and at this time, Xu Jin and Li Shizhen stood in the knee-high water, looking upstream expectantly, hoping to pick up two beams or something again, but unfortunately the god of luck did not come again, and the beams were not picked up, but they caught a lot of broken wood, and some broken wood basins, rotten barrels and the like.

These sundries were all thrown on the shore by Xu Jin and exposed to the sun, maybe you can try to learn from the primitive people to "drill wood for fire", as long as there is fire, the tiger is estimated to dare not approach.

Li Shizhen caught a half-floating and half-sinking wine jar, opened the lid of the jar, and a smell of wine immediately came to his nose.

"My lord, there is wine, I got half a jar of wine!" Li Shizhen put some with his fingers and put it in his mouth to taste it, confirmed that it was wine, and immediately shouted happily, and handed it to Xu Jin as if offering a treasure.

Xu Jin took it and sniffed it, and said happily: "Good luck!" ”

Liquor is made of grain, especially ancient wine, with low purity, and there are still a lot of grain residues left in it, so it is called turbid wine, which undoubtedly has the effect of filling hunger, and the key can also be used for disinfection.

Unexpectedly harvested a jar of wine, the two of them were even more energetic, standing in the water under the scorching sun to salvage, but all the debris floating from the upstream did not let go, and an hour later, the broken wood and debris on the shore had been piled up high.

During this period, the tiger walked slowly, staring at Xu Jin and Li Shizhen for some reason, probably because he felt that the two "two-legged beasts" couldn't run away, so he walked away slowly.

At this time, a corpse floated down from the upstream, Xu Jin recognized this costume at a glance, it was the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart, stretched out a bamboo stick and pulled the corpse to the shore.

"Min Baihu!"

When Xu Jin saw the true face of this corpse, he couldn't help but blurt out, and his mood instantly sank to the bottom, this Jinyi Guard is a hundred households, named Min Huasheng, one of the Jinyi Guards responsible for protecting Xiao Huai, and now he died in this flood, so wouldn't Xiao Huai be more auspicious?

Xu Jin and Li Shizhen worked together to drag Min Huasheng's body ashore, Min Baihu's body had been soaked a little swollen, and it also faintly emitted a corpse smell, which was estimated to have begun to deteriorate.

Xu Jin untied the embroidered spring knife hanging on Min Baihu's waist, and luckily found flints, daggers and other items from his body. It's just that Xu Jin couldn't be happy at this time, so he silently took off Min Baihu's flying fish suit, and then spread it out on a bush to dry.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jin used a flint to ignite a pile of miscellaneous wood, and then burned Min Baihu's body, the corpse had begun to stink, if not burned it was afraid of breeding germs. The tiger was staggering and pacing, and when he saw the sudden fire, he was immediately frightened and slipped away with his tail between his legs.

Xu Jin looked at Min Baihu, who was devoured by the fire, took a sip of the wine jar, and said lightly: "Min Baihu, go all the way, your clothes will be crowned, and the official will send you back to your home in the capital for you." ”

"Look, my lord, there's another corpse!" Li Shizhen suddenly pointed upstream and shouted.

Xu Jin raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a corpse floating on the water, dressed in it, and it should be a woman in shape and clothing.

"Let her go!"

Xu Jin shook his head, just now he recognized Min Baihu's flying fish suit, so he fished up the corpse, if all the corpses were fished, how could there be so much wood cremated? If it is a burial, it may cause disaster for yourself. After all, this isolated island is not big, and there are many buried corpses, even if they do not breed germs, the smell of corpses alone can stun people.

Li Shizhen suddenly shouted at this time: "My lord, it's alive, it's still alive!" ”

Xu Jin said angrily: "I'm not alive, am I dead...... Well? ”

Xu Jin suddenly realized at this time that the floating "female corpse" actually raised her head, although the movement was very slight, but it was obviously still alive.

Xu Jin hurriedly put down the wine jar and jumped into the water, and Li Shizhen also jumped into the water to help. At this time, the "female corpse" had already floated nearby, and Xu Jin saw clearly that the "female corpse" was lying on a bamboo pole with a thick bowl mouth, but the bamboo pole was completely immersed in the turbid water, and it was not visible at all in the distance.

Xu Jin reached for the end of the bamboo pole, and then gently pulled it to the shore, but the woman was probably exhausted, and despite Xu Jin's light force, she still let go and slid into the water.

Xu Jin's hand was quick, grabbed the woman's long hair exposed to the water, and then lifted it up like a carrot, turned around and dragged it to the shore.

The woman was slender, estimated to be very young from the point of view of her skin, wearing a bearded shirt and trousers that only she wore on horseback, her bare feet were delicate and fair, her wet clothes were tightly stuck to her body, and her buttocks were straight and round.

Li Shizhen squatted down and turned the woman over, and immediately blurted out: "Miss Xue? ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, reached out and brushed away part of the woman's hair covering her face, and found that this woman was none other than the mixed-race girl Xue Bingxin.

Xu Jin showed a look of surprise on his face, isn't this woman in Fan County? Why did you also suffer from this flood?

Li Shizhen stretched out her hand to probe Xue Shuixin's pulse, and said happily: "My lord, Miss Xue is still alive." ”

Xu Jin nodded, the half-race girl's full chest was rising and falling slightly, and he was not blind.
