Escape from famine at the beginning: I use space to raise three cute babies

Wen Xi was already exhausted under the water. Xiang Jiuling saw the black thing getting closer and closer. She could even see clearly that the fish looked like a catfish, but it was probably as big as a buffalo and had obviously lived for many years.

, I am afraid that the flood this time washed it down from somewhere.

It stands to reason that this kind of fish will not attack people. It is likely that it became fearful in unfamiliar waters and became ferocious.

"Brother Wen, hurry up, I'll pull you up!"

Seeing that the fish was getting closer and closer, Xiang Jiuling couldn't pull Wen Xi away. She was getting more and more panicked and her mind was racing.

what to do?

There was not enough time for her to come up with a perfect plan. The moment the fish approached the side of the hull, Xiang Jiuling took out the dagger she had been hiding from her sleeve and stabbed the thing fiercely.

There was a splash of water with a "thud", and the boat was shaken violently. Fortunately, Xiang Jiuling had tied Wen Xi with a rope to prevent him from being washed away. The turbid water was stained red with blood. It seemed that Xiang Jiuling had tied Wen Xi with a rope.

Jiuling was seriously injured by the knife.

The fish was in pain and fled into the water. Xiang Jiuling and Hanzi quickly pulled Wen Xi up. At this time, Wen Xi was lying on the boat panting heavily. His whole body was exhausted, especially his sore hands.

Can't lift it up.

"How's it going? Is Mr. Wang okay?"

After Wen Xi calmed down for a while, the first thing he asked was the prefect Wang. After all, he was the one who risked his life to save him. If he was gone, wouldn't his suffering be in vain?

"This gentleman is fine. He just choked on the water and spit it out just now!"

"That fish was injured by me just now. I don't know what will happen with so much blood. We have to leave quickly. It's best to find the nearest place to land!"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the surrounding silence was a bit scary, they had to leave quickly.

Yuxiang Jiuling took care of the two exhausted people. The man hurriedly slid the oars to quickly sail the boat away from the area. The road behind it became much smoother. The few of them breathed a sigh of relief. It was really tiring to go through such trouble.

"Girl, we're just ahead!"

It was already dark at this time, and the firelight not far ahead was particularly conspicuous. The man was very familiar with this section of the road, and he quickly docked the boat.

Here, Wang Zhifu has slowly woken up, and Wen Xi has almost recovered his strength. The three of them packed up their things and got off the boat and gave them money. After all the trouble just now, they were all a little frightened. Xiang Jiuling saw that it was not easy for the boatman to make a living.

, and gave him a little more to do, and the man was very grateful.

"Okay, let's find a place to rest. The clothes on both of your bodies are wet. You need to light a fire to warm yourself up quickly, otherwise you will easily catch the cold."

"Okay, let's go!"

Because they had wasted a lot of time just now, they could only rest in the woods for one night. Fortunately, Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi escaped all the way and had already adapted to the life of sleeping in the open air and didn't care. The two of them divided the work quickly and found

Gather dead branches and leaves to make a fire.

When the two men got into the water, their clothes were all wet, so they sat by the fire to dry their clothes. Xiang Jiuling took out the dry food in his bag, plus the wild vegetables found in the forest, while the two men were not paying attention.

I also exchanged two packs of cold medicine from the space and prepared to wash them with water for them to drink later.

"Brother Wen, I owe you my life today. Speaking of which, you have saved me twice. I really don't know how to thank you!"

Thinking of what happened to him today, Prefect Wang still can't believe it, and his gratitude to Wen Xi becomes even deeper.

"You're welcome, sir!"

Wen Xi just smiled. In fact, he didn't think too much at the time. He relied on instinct to save people. Later, when he was lying on the boat, he became a little scared. If Xiang Jiuling hadn't taken action in time, he would probably have died today.

Belly.

Thinking of this, Wen Xi's eyes unconsciously fell on Xiang Jiuling, who was still busy preparing food not far away, and his eyes became gentler.

Prefect Wang also noticed Wen Xi's gaze and smiled unconsciously, "Brother Wen, I really envy you for finding such a good girl as Miss Xiang. I can't help but be brave and resourceful and treat you so well. You are so lucky!"

"

Xiang Jiuling, who was bringing over the stuffed cold medicine, happened to hear what Magistrate Wang said, and suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot. She smiled and said, "Master Wang, Brother Wen, I cooked the cold medicine. You guys drink some first."

Get rid of the coldness on your body."

Wen Xi quickly took the bowl from Xiang Jiuling's hand and couldn't help frowning at her burned fingers, "Just put it there and ask me to come over and pick it up. Don't burn it!"

"I'm fine!"

Seeing Wen Xi's distressed look on his wife, Wang Zhifu laughed heartily, which made Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi feel a little embarrassed. Although they were husband and wife in name, the relationship between them so far had been

It hasn't progressed to that point yet.

The three of them ate some dry food and dried meat, and drank some wild vegetable soup before they felt strong and rested by the fire.

Xiang Jiuling had just closed her eyes when she suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw Wen Xi, who was also alert.

The two looked at each other, looking at the place where the sound came from without moving their expressions, maintaining their sleeping posture.

After a while, the rustling sound sounded again, and the two people quickly saw through the light of the fire that there were three or five black figures approaching in their direction.

Judging from their clothes, they were probably refugees fleeing the famine. They probably sneaked over here after seeing the fire, but they didn't know what they wanted to do.

"stop!"

Seeing that the nearest person was about to touch them, Wen Xi couldn't help but stood up and stared at them closely with a pair of sharp eyes.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

The prefect Wang had also woken up a long time ago. When he saw Wen Xi getting up, he stopped pretending and looked around at the people approaching him. "You...are you people who escaped from the famine?"

The Wang Prefect took in many refugees who had fled famine in Linjincheng, so he was very familiar with their clothing and quickly identified their identities.

"We...we are all villagers who escaped from the flood. We have been living in this forest for more than half a month. We came here to take a look when we saw the fire here. You...who are you?

?”

These refugees managed to save their lives and fled to this mountain. After living for half a month, they basically ate everything in the mountain forest. They were so hungry that they couldn't bear it and went out to look for food. They happened to see a fire here.

I just wanted to grab something to eat while they were sleeping, but I didn't expect...

"Brother, they...they have something to eat!"

"Brother, I'm so hungry!"

When they saw the dry food exposed in their bags, the refugees instantly became red-eyed. If they hadn't seen the two young and strong men, they would have pounced on it and grabbed it.
