After swimming forward for a while, Li Qingcai carefully leaned out his head and gently breathed a breath.

Blinked and looked at the water again. This time, Li Qing finally determined that it was indeed a small boat. And there were people shaking on the ship. Because it was too dark, they couldn't even tell whether they were men or women.

Li Qing stayed in the cold water for a while and didn't dare to act rashly. The other party seems to be quite cautious. He only goes around in a small area and seems to be looking for something.

"No matter." Li Qing shivered and felt that he couldn't hold on in the water, so he stepped on the water again and swam silently.

This is an old wooden boat with a canopy, which can accommodate up to five or six people.

Li Qing glanced gently at the boat. He saw a man bent and rowing, while the other two were half squatting in the bow and stern, poking the water with a thin bamboo pole in their hands from time to time. The three men were all dressed in coir raincoats and covered their bodies. Li Qing had seen Caiyun weave rainproof clothes with coir grass in the Hakka village before, so she identified the other party as a local.

After weighing around, Li Qing decided to make a surprise attack and rush to the ship first, considering that the other party was likely to be Xilong people and it was difficult to communicate even if it was harmless. If the other party can cooperate best, if not, he can only be cruel and cruel.

Thinking like this, Li Qing waited in the water for a while. When the boat slowly turned near her, she suddenly jumped out of the water, climbed to the side of the boat and turned in the air.

When choosing where to start, Li Qing deliberately chose the bow. After careful observation, he found that the boatman should be very old, and the other one looked like an adult. They were both in the stern. There was only one man in the bow of the boat, thin and small, squatting there, as if he were a child.

"It should be... Easier."

Thinking like this, Li Qing didn't hesitate. But he was full of hope to pick a soft persimmon to pinch, but he didn't expect to hit the iron plate.

With a long string of water spray, Li Qing's body turned up in the air. Just as his feet were about to fall on the boat, the little figure suddenly got up and jumped back. At the same time, he grabbed the long bamboo pole with one hand and pulled it with the other hand. The bamboo pole had excellent elasticity and instantly bent into a rather exaggerated arc, like a full hard bow.

The whole process was just between lightning and flint. Before Li Qing came back, the other party had loosened his hand. The long bamboo pole roared towards Li Qing with a strong wind.

If it were put on weekdays, Li Qing could avoid this blow. But now he had little physical strength left, and because of his carelessness, he could only meet his chest.

The bamboo pole banged on Li Qing's chest. He snorted with pain. He only felt a surge of Qi and blood. Shengsheng was pulled out three or four meters away by this force, and then fell into the water again.

The water splashed and fell on Li Qing's face. He choked two mouthfuls of water and coughed uncontrollably.

The man at the stern shouted and ran over: "get it up! Get it up! See if you can ask for some news!"

"Hmm?" Li Qing couldn't help but be a little stunned. Why did his voice sound so familiar? And the other party is still speaking Mandarin. Aren't they from Xilong?

Li Qing suddenly remembered who the voice belonged to. There was a burst of ecstasy in her heart. She was about to speak. She choked cold water and coughed violently again. Just at this time, a fishing net had been cast down to cover Li Qing, and then the two people on the boat pulled him into the boat.

"Tut Tut, let me see what I caught."

The flashlight lit up and shone on Li Qing across the fishing net. When the two guys looked closer, they both stared round.

"Captain?"

"Big brother?"

The guy who cast the net is master Deng, and the child Li Qing mistakenly thinks is Wenyang, who is thin and small.

I wanted to make a sneak attack, but I was caught alive by my men. Li Qing can't say whether he is excited at the moment or ashamed that stealing chickens can't erode rice.

"Untie it for me!" Li Qing shouted angrily.

"Oh."

Wen Yang and Deng Shi quickly pulled the fishing net away and pulled the wet Li Qing out of it.

Master Deng breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally found you."

Li Qinggang stood up and hurriedly said, "Gu Yue is injured by the river bank. Go and pick her up."

"I see." master Deng nodded, turned his head and said hello to the stern. "Dad, please pull the boat ashore to meet someone."

"HMM." the boatman answered heavily, turned the boat around and rowed towards the shore.

Li Qing stared at the figure and picked his eyebrows: "is this?"

"Dad Zhaxi, the old man in the Hakka stronghold." master Deng picked his thumb with a smile. "Dad is very familiar with this area. If he hadn't led the way, we would never have found it here."

Dad Tashi? It took Li Qing a long time to understand. Isn't that Caiyun's grandfather? But how could he be with Deng Shi and Wen Yang? Li Qing is full of questions, but he is still thinking about Gu Yue in his heart and has no mind to ask questions.

A few minutes later, the boat slowly approached the shore. Li Qing jumped out of the boat, waded to the shore, picked up Gu Yue and returned to the boat again.

Master Deng lit up the kerosene lamp, found two clothes from the canopy and handed them to Li Qing: "you are all wet. First change your clothes. Wen Yang and I ignited at the bow of the ship and prepared some food for you. The medicine box is on the cabinet. You can see it as soon as you enter. First deal with the wound."

"Yes." Li Qing answered. When master Deng finished his explanation, he drilled out of the canopy and put down the curtain.

There were only Gu Yue and Li Qing left in the canopy. They looked at each other and felt that what happened tonight was a little too illusory.

"It's really a turnaround." after a long silence, Li Qingcai said with a dry smile.

Gu Yue was dazed: "how did they appear here?"

Li Qing shrugged: "I haven't had time to ask. Change your clothes first. I'll deal with your wound. I'll talk about other things later."

Li Qing said and turned off the oil lamp in the canopy. Two people mixed to this step, there is no taboo between each other. In the dark, he turned directly and silently and changed his wet clothes.

"Have you changed your clothes?" Li Qing asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

Hearing Gu Yue's reply, Li Qingcai struck a match again and lit the kerosene lamp again. Then he pulled the medicine box, put medicine on Gu Yue's wound and simply pasted several layers of gauze.

Under the soft light, Gu Yue's delicate cheeks are smooth and quiet, and a trace of warmth gradually returns to Li Qing's body.

"Big brother." Wen Yang called softly outside.

"Ah, come in."

Li Qing's voice fell. Wen Yang had opened the curtain and entered the canopy, bringing in a small pot of steaming batter porridge.

This is not a good thing, but for Li Qing and Gu Yue, who have experienced hardships, even the bones will be crisp as soon as they smell the fragrance of the noodles.

"Have something to eat first." Wen Yang was relieved to see that Li Qing was all right, and his pale cheeks were full of relief. "I still had to guard in front. I was worried that the night would not be peaceful. I'll let master Deng come later."

With these words, Wen Yang withdrew. After five or six minutes, master Deng took off his wet coir raincoat outside the canopy and walked in with a smile.

"Is it warmer?" when master Deng spoke, he put four boiled eggs wrapped in towels on the small table in front of Li Qing.

"What's the matter?" Li Qing calmed down and finally couldn't help asking.

Deng Shi stared at the flickering flame on the kerosene lamp and said with a smile, "listen to me while you eat."

"HMM." Li Qing nodded, picked up a hot egg, knocked it on the edge of the table, gently peeled the egg, and put the white and tender egg into Gu Yue's bowl.

Staring at the pretty cheek, Li Qing spoiled her eyes: "eat slowly and be careful."

"I want you to take care of it." Gu Yue turned her big white eyes and gently wrinkled Qiong's nose.

Master Deng noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two people and immediately felt that he was a little redundant here. However, he had the cheek to clear his throat and said: "After we separated from you, we accelerated our speed and went all the way along the upper reaches of the Yao River. We joined the receiving troops of the 49th army at SHIZIKOU, crossed the station of the seventh infantry brigade in the early morning of that day, and arrived at shaping at about 6:00 in the morning."

"After we waited in shaping for a while, Huang Jingyuan's motorcade arrived. The wounded were taken away by commander Huang. Wenyang and I volunteered to stay and plan to pick you up in shaping and return to Longxi." master Deng smiled bitterly, "As a result, we waited for nearly half a month without any news about you. At that time, we thought your situation should be very dangerous. There was no way, so we had to go back to Longxi first and find our brothers to discuss countermeasures. Several people gathered together for a long time, and finally decided to select another group of people from Lao Qian's team and sneak into Xilong to find your whereabouts , although I also know that with the quality of those soldiers and ruffians, it's good not to tell them all here... "

"On the night we had decided, a man came." Deng shidun paused, raised his head and stared at Li Qing, "Xie Yuyan."

Li Qing swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Gu Yue. His pupil shrunk slightly: "Xie Yuyan?"

"Miss Xie is looking for Zhenfan ancient building in Longxi recently. I heard that there have been some clues." master Deng patted his forehead. "Among the people who came with her that night, there was father Zhaxi."
