Chapter 9
A woman cries with her baby in her arms.

"If you don't help me, my child will die. You killed my child!"

Shu Yan looked at this woman who looked like a madman, so she had no choice but to say: "In this world, it's not to blame for looking for someone else."

As soon as Shu Yan finished speaking, he saw the limping Cheng San walking down the mountain, holding a handful of herbs in his hand.

The herb was still stained with dirt, and then fell down after Cheng San.

Cheng San put a handful of herbs beside the woman.

"Let's drink milk for the child, it may not be useful."

After Cheng San finished speaking, he waved to Shu Yan. Shu Yan hurriedly rolled the boat over, and Cheng San climbed onto the boat with difficulty, and then lay down in the cabin.

Only then did Shu Yan realize that the wound on Cheng San's leg was already pus.

Shu Yan hurriedly said, "Are you okay?"

Cheng San gave Shu Yan a white look.

"I'm dying. In a few days, you throw me into the water to feed the fish, so as not to infect you."

This Cheng San's speech was so unpleasant, Shu Yan said helplessly: "You have to pray that you don't have tetanus, didn't you pick herbs, just clean the wound and apply medicine to gamble."

Cheng San took out a knife from his cuff and swung it at Shu Yan.

Shu Yan took the knife and looked at the terrible wound on Cheng San's leg.

"If you die, don't blame the old man."

Shu Yan tore open Cheng San's trouser leg, and the black and pus-oozing wound appeared in front of his eyes.

Yu'an turned her head away in fear, while Xiao Yu'er was lying on the side, looking at the dead fish in the pool.

She didn't understand why the fish in the water could also be drowned.

"what!!"

Cheng San let out a scream, and Shu Yan hurriedly pressed the pounded herbs on the wound.

"When we find the wine, we'll disinfect it for you."

Cheng San bared his teeth in pain, and naturally couldn't understand what Shu Yan said, but Yu'an asked timidly, "Grandma, what do you mean by disinfection?"

Shu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and she hurriedly said: "Grandma also heard from others, you can eat some of those dried fish, we still have a long way to go."

In Baili Shuize, the further downstream, the more corpses gathered, and the flood became more turbid.

There are even a lot of water swirling, which looks extremely dangerous.

They took advantage of the rain and received a lot of clean rainwater. Shu Yan washed Cheng San's wound.

But Cheng San's face was flushed, his whole body was hot, and he fell into a coma for a long time.

It was only now that she was awake for a while, Shu Yan hurriedly asked with concern.

Cheng San looked at the strand of white hair on Shu Yan's head, and said something for no reason.

"My mother also has white hair, but she is quite similar to the godmother."

Shu Yan took a look at Cheng San, and said, "Since you miss your mother so much, why do you still come out to play around instead of going back to watch over your mother?"

Cheng San's eyes froze.

"My mother is already dead."

Shu Yan sighed slightly.

"It's like I mentioned your sadness, let's not talk about it."

Cheng San took Shu Yan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Since we are in the same boat, how about I take you as my mother?"

Cheng San looked at Shu Yan fixedly, but he was a little flustered.

How did she become someone else's mother, she never gave birth, how did she do it?
But this kid might be confused by fever, he actually took Shu Yan's hand and started calling his mother.

Shu Yan reached out and touched Cheng San's head, it was as hot as a stove.

"Then how old are you?"

Cheng San said softly, "I'm sixteen..."

Shu Yan was taken aback for a moment, this kid definitely looked like he was in his 20s, why did he look so anxious.

"Then it's appropriate to be my son. You can rest easy. I recognize you as a godson. Don't let me be a white-haired man and a black-haired man."

Cheng Sanban closed her eyes and held Shu Yan's hand tightly.

"Mother, mother..."

Cheng San called his mother all night, and finally his voice became weaker and weaker. Shu Yan felt a little sad in his heart, thinking that the child was dead.

But just as he was about to touch someone's breath, Cheng San opened his eyes.

He still had the strength to sit up. At this moment, Cheng San was leaning against Shu Yan's arms, and the two really looked like a mother and son.

Cheng San glanced at Shu Yan.

"I dreamed of my mother, and I haven't dreamed of her for a long time."

The child's eyes were blurred, obviously revealing his true feelings.

Xiao Yu'er said carelessly: "Yesterday you said you wanted to recognize Grandma as your mother."

Cheng San was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "She is my godmother."

Cheng San stretched his waist and felt much better. Shu Yan couldn't help feeling that this young man is really in good health.

Yu'an had been looking outside, and suddenly said to Shu Yan, "Grandma, I saw land."

Shu Yan quickly stretched his head to look outside.

All I saw was a large piece of bare land, rice fields stretching for tens of miles, scattered villages, and a corner of the farthest city wall.

They were finally out of the floodplain.

Shu Yan and the others hurriedly hid the boat, took their few belongings, and prepared to go on the road.

Cheng San couldn't walk, so Shu Yan had no choice but to support him.

Cheng San walked with a limp, putting all his weight on Shu Yan. Shu Yan hadn't had enough to eat for several days, so he was naturally very hungry.

But still had to support him.

After they set out on the road, they found that many refugees had gathered here.

There are also traces of water on the ground, obviously the flood here has just receded.

Shu Yan and the others merged into the refugee group. They looked haggard, and although they were not disheveled, they were undoubtedly no different from beggars. It was really no different from being among the refugees.

At this moment, Cheng San whispered in Shu Yan's ear: "Mother, this place should be Huang County, but the capital of Yingzhou, which is the hometown of little general Long Yun."

Shu Yan thought of the troubled little general, and sighed for no reason.

They walked all the way to the county seat of the state capital, but there were more than a dozen soldiers standing outside the county seat, preventing them from entering.

Shu Yan was a little anxious, the two children were hanging on with a breath of immortality, if they didn't go in, they might die.

Cheng San pointed at Shu Yan's mouth.

Shu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and Cheng San said softly, "Is there a baby in the godmother's mouth?"

Shu Yan thought about it carefully, and then stretched out his hand to pull out the outermost tooth in his mouth.

That was her gold tooth.

Shu Yan wrapped it in a handkerchief and walked up to the soldier, crying and said: "Gentlemen, please do me a favor, my son is dying, let's go in and see a doctor."

One of the soldiers found Shu Yan's golden tooth, and he put it in his mouth and bit it with no dislike.

Then he winked at the people behind him.

Shu Yan hurriedly led the people into the county seat.

After arriving in the county seat, even if he had re-entered the civilized world, Shu Yan especially wanted to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

As long as she can finish eating Yangchun noodles, she can do whatever she wants.

It is best to have roast chicken after eating Yangchun noodles.

At this moment, Shu Yan's stomach started to growl.
