It's night, and the water protects the village.

Xu Jin was woken up by the rapid sound of gongs, but when he turned over and got out of bed, he stepped into the water that was not above his ankles, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open, and Er Niu rushed in with a torch, shouting urgently: "Master, the flood is coming, flee to the mountains!" ”

Xu Jin was excited, the whole person was sleepy, and when he looked at it, he found that the room had been soaked in stagnant water, and the sewage outside was still flowing into the house along the cracks in the walls and thresholds.

"Thief God, are you playing with me, what the hell, what are you afraid of!" Xu Jin hurriedly picked up the boots floating on the water and put them on, put on his coat and rushed out of the room with Erniu.

At this time, the village was already in a mess, the villagers were holding torches, the men were carrying their belongings and food, and the young women were supporting the old and the young.

"My lord, get on the horse!" Jin Biao, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, took Xu Jin's mount over and shouted.

Xu Jin hurriedly turned over his horse and rode his horse to the hillside, and a group of brocade guards also fled to the hillside in a chaotic manner, only hating his father and mother for having two legs.

This flood came suddenly without any warning, and the villagers who were on duty tonight also reacted when the flood suddenly overflowed the entrance of the village. At this time, if you can take a bird's eye view from the sky, you can see that the monstrous turbidity waves are rushing towards Shuibaozhai from the northwest, and the waves nearly two zhang high are like a kilometer-long evil dragon that chooses people to devour, and it is menacing!

Bang Peng ......

The waves devoured everything they passed fiercely, and the first few houses in the water protection village were like paper paste, falling apart, and the houses behind were also swallowed up by the flood in an instant, and then collapsed.

"Ah, my house ......"

"Open your eyes, heavens......"

A group of villagers looked back, one by one frightened faceless, some people cried to the sky, the old patriarch Zhang even paused on crutches and cried, trembling lips and crying: "It's over, it's over, there's nothing, God, you're going to kill my water castle village Zhang's lineage!" ”

The last time the Yellow River lacked embankment near Fan County, the damage to the water fort was very small, and this is miserable, the whole village was destroyed by the flood, and the loss was heavy.

Xu Jin turned over and dismounted, and wiped the water stains on his face in horror, this was the first time in his two lives that he had personally experienced such a terrifying flood. In my previous life, I watched a lot on TV, but only when you are there will you really understand the idiom "flood beast", in front of nature, human beings are actually as small as ants.

"Little Plum, where is Little Plum?" Xu Jin suddenly found that Li Shizhen was not around, and his face couldn't help but change, just now this kid was obviously riding a horse and following him, but he disappeared at this time.

The Jinyi guards beside him all looked at each other, just now everyone was only concerned about running for their lives, no one paid attention to this six or seven-year-old boy, in fact, if Xu Jin was not Qincha, they didn't even bother to care about Xu Jin, after all, it was important to save his life.

"There!" Suddenly, a brocade guard pointed to the bottom of the hill and shouted.

Xu Jin followed the prestige, and vaguely saw Li Shizhen riding a horse's head to move up the hillside by the light of the torch, because the water had soaked into the horse's belly, so suddenly it seemed that Li Shizhen was "riding" the horse's head and moving.

The horse was obviously frightened, struggling and hesitating in the water, Li Shizhen was constantly spurring and shouting, trying to drive it to the hillside, but the thrust of the water was too great, the horse was unable to stand firmly, and was pushed neighing and moving sideways, so he did not dare to step forward.

"Little Lizi, run, abandon the horse, don't want it!" Xu Jin shouted to remind, and the villagers and Jinyiwei also shouted, however, Li Shizhen's kid didn't seem to want to give up the horse, and was still trying to break into it.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be anxious and angry, is this kid stupid, he is still taking care of a horse at this time, and he is simply dead.

Xu Jin gritted his teeth and ran down the hillside, Jin Baihu and the others were shocked: "My lord, it's dangerous!" ”

Xu Jin was not an impulsive person, but at the moment he was only thinking about saving people, and he didn't know if Li Shizhen was destined to have this catastrophe in his life, or if the butterfly effect of his own traverser brought this catastrophe to Li Shizhen. In short, this future medicine saint cannot die in this flood, otherwise there will be no more "Compendium of Materia Medica" in future generations, and there will be no more medicine saints who have been in the world for centuries.

"Sir!" Erniu took the lead and ran down, followed by Jin Baihu and others.

At this time, Li Shizhen's kid obviously realized that he couldn't save the horse, so he jumped off the horse and struggled to swim up the hillside, and the water was obviously very good. However, at this time, the thrust of the current was very strong, and Li Shizhen was still pushed downstream by the current.

Thump......

Xu Jin plunged into the water, quickly swam over and grabbed Li Shizhen's hand, and the two swam towards the hillside together. At this moment, a wave crashed and pushed the two men off the shore, and the horse neighed, and finally sank into the torrent......

"Sir!" Erniu screamed and wanted to jump into the torrent, but was stopped and hugged by Jin Baihu, who arrived later.

"Let go, I want to save the master!" Erniu struggled and screamed.

Jin Baihu and several brocade guards worked together to hold the two oxen, and at this time the flood had already reached their feet.

"Brother Erniu, don't be impulsive, you can't save it, you can't save it!" Jin Biao shouted.

Erniu looked up, but saw the black waves surging, where was Xu Jin's and Xiao Lizi's figures?

"Master, Uncle Ten, how should I explain to my aunt!" Erniu sat in the water and cried.

Jin Biao was also cold in his heart at this time, it's over, Lord Xu is probably more than lucky, this time he went on an envoy with Qin, and the credit was not earned, and it is estimated that he will have to ask for the guilt when he goes back.

"Brother Erniu, Lord Xu is a good person, he will be fine!" Jin Yiwei comforted the chief Sima Yuan.

Erniu's eyes lit up: "Yes, Tenth Uncle Fuxing is high, he will be fine, he will definitely be fine!" After saying that, he stood up and patted his ass and ran up the hillside, he wanted to save his life and wait for the flood to recede and find Uncle Ten.

Jin Biao and Sima Yuan couldn't help but look at each other, this nerves are too big, right? However, Erniu's performance gave the two of them a glimmer of hope, I hope that Lord Xu is really auspicious, or the adults will have to be unlucky.

……

Zhao Quan, Xue Bingxin, and Sun Cai stayed under the cracks in the woods near the water castle tonight, and the sudden flood overflowed the trees, and they were also in a hurry, and immediately climbed the nearby trees to escape.

However, the situation did not last long, as the flood water continued to spread upwards and the surrounding trees were broken and overturned from time to time. The washed away houses of Shuibaozhai floated down the river and hit the big tree where the three of them were located.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Xue Bingxin was overwhelmed and broken by clinging to the branch.

"Ahh Xue Bingxin exclaimed, and Zhao Quan's hand quickly grabbed a small branch of the branch, however, this was only a second of delay, and the small branch broke, and Xue Bingxin immediately drifted downstream with the branch.

"Xin'er!"

"Senior Sister Xue!"

Zhao Quan and Sun Cai screamed in unison, but neither of them had the courage to jump into the rolling flood to rescue, so they could only watch Xue Bingxin disappear into the boundless darkness with their eyes open.

"Ahhh Zhao Quan slapped the trunk of the tree in pain, and suddenly scolded hatefully: "Xu Jin, you bastard, I, Zhao Quan, will take the life of a dog if I don't die today!" ”

Zhao Quan couldn't help but think of his uncle Li Zixin's words at this time, this Xu Jin really made a mistake with his own life, not only did he not assassinate him this time, but also killed Senior Sister Xue.

Of course, Zhao Quanxin was selfish, it was impossible for him to be sad for Xue Bingxin's death for a long time, it was more just a pity, in fact, after a few breaths, he was engrossed in lying on the trunk of the tree, and it was extremely important to maintain his physical strength at this time.

Sun Cai is also the same as Zhao Quan, the two of them are like two geckos, lying on a big tree, swaying with the ups and downs of the flood.

……

"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm the one who bothered you!" Li Shizhen was riding on a beam at this time, and whispered apologetically.

Xu Jin hugged one end of Liang Mu, most of his body was immersed in the water, only the position above the shoulders was exposed, although Liang Mu was thick, but he couldn't stand the two of them lying on it together, so Xu Jin only held Liang Mu, and most of his body was still immersed in water, which was a great drain on physical strength.

At this moment, Xu Jin calmed down and said calmly: "Little Lizi, from now on, talk less, don't move on your stomach, save your strength, but don't sleep, you can live." ”

In the dark, Li Shizhen's little face was as pale as paper, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, you said that I could live, but what about you?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kid was sensitive, and he actually heard the meaning of his words.

"If I'm lucky, I'll be able to live!" Although Xu Jin's voice was very calm, he knew in his heart that he would not last until dawn if he soaked in water like this, and when he no longer had the strength to hold Liang Mu, it would be his end.

Li Shizhen was silent, the two of them were in the dark, drifting deeper into the darkness with the torrent, and the time passed minute by minute, maybe an hour, maybe longer.

Suddenly, Liang Mu shook violently, as if he had hit something, Li Shizhen almost fell, Xu Jin even took off his hand, but fortunately he immediately hugged Liang Mu again.

"My lord, it's wood, a big log!" Li Shizhen suddenly shouted in surprise.

It turned out that the beam wood hit a piece of wood, Xu Jin hurriedly stretched out his feet to hook, Li Shizhen poked out his feet to help, and the two worked hard for nearly a quarter of an hour, almost exhausted to put the two pieces of wood side by side.

Xu Jin instructed Li Shizhen to hold it steady, and then carefully straddled it, the two pieces of wood together could carry the weight of the two of them.

Xu Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly took off his coat until the two pieces of wood were firmly tied together, and then he let out a long breath, so that he could be sure that he would stay up until dawn, and then find a way to land on the shore.
