Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 65 Ice Release (1)

Liu Sandian hurriedly wiped the water out of the cabin with his hands, and discussed calmly: "This boat probably won't last for a while. Quickly see where there is a way to survive. Let's swim across!"

"Tidal flat, only tidal flat is the closest!" Su rowed the small broken boat forward with all his strength, and said urgently: "Quick, don't stop, let's go to the tidal flat first!"

"Yes! I don't know how many pursuers there will be on the shore. Your uncle and I just learned swimming skills. It's better to be closer to the shore." Liu Sandian only regretted that he had lost two hands. In just this moment, , the water has flooded the entire surface.

The two men hurriedly saved themselves, but only one remained standing in the middle.

"Hey! Why are you standing still?" Liu Sandian urged: "If you have no strength, quickly return the oar to Su Ya, and you can scoop water with me!"

He thought that Shen Huai was still in a state of waste. He had exhausted all his strength after paddling for so long, and he must have lost his strength.

Shen Huai didn't respond. He just squatted down and first put the wooden paddle in his hand into the river water - it was too deep to touch. Then he put half of his arm in the water and still couldn't find the bottom.

The river was rippling, and a faint ray of water reflected on his face, illuminating his heavy face.

"Hey, this guy..." Su Ya, who was waving the wooden oar and paddling on both sides in turn, felt very inconvenienced. This person always has his own persistence, but what time is it now?

The three of them worked together to send the boat forward. In this cold and steep deep water in spring, if they could fall into the water a moment later, wouldn't they be able to conserve their strength a moment longer?

She looked back twice and saw that Shen Huai was still motionless. She couldn't help but feel even more impatient, so she took a step back and bent down to grab the wooden oar in Shen Huai's hand.

At this moment, the broken ship made a series of crisp sounds, and with Liu Sandian's exclamation, Su Ya fell on Shen Huai, but her posture was weird, one leg was stuck in the bilge hole that suddenly leaked, and it had been Splintered wood stuck!

Shen Huai could only hear the extremely painful moan from Su Ya, so he subconsciously let go of the wooden paddle and hugged the fallen person.

The cold river water filled half the cabin almost instantly. On the rapidly rocking broken ship, Su Ya grabbed his clothes tightly and buried her head in his arms, trembling in pain, "Leg, my leg..."

Shen Huai was startled, and immediately stretched out his hand to feel for her stuck leg in the direction, trying to help Su Ya pull the leg out, but a piece of wood had already penetrated her calf, and the hole in the bilge was narrow. , unable to move at all.

This groping made Su Ya tremble in pain even more. Even though she bit her lips and held her breath, she still couldn't remain silent.

Shen Huai lifted her up from his arms, pushed her away slightly, and patted her back comfortingly, his voice as steady as before: "Don't be afraid, don't move."

Then he flipped his wrist, and a dagger appeared in his palm. Then his left hand reached into the water to protect Su Ya's calf, and he held the knife in his right hand and stabbed the broken piece of wood without hesitation.

The dagger cut through iron like mud and did not lose its sharpness under water. It circled Su Ya's stuck calf in two strokes and cut off the surrounding pieces of wood.

At this time, the water had reached the level of the side of the ship. Shen Huai quickly pushed the escaped Su Ya towards Liu Sandian and said, "Mr. Liu, take Su Ya and leave quickly!"

Bah!

At this time, you still have to boss others around. After all, you are a young and strong man. How can you be so shameless?

Su Ya held her legs and struggled to break away from Shen Huai's hand, "I can do it on my own!"

Shen Huai chuckled lightly, let go and said, "Then swim for me and see if you can swim over first."

At this time, the boat has completely submerged in the water. It may be necessary to pull out of the whirlpool, and it will be extremely difficult to swim out again.

Winter clothes were all heavy, so Su Ya tore off the robe that Shen Huai had put on her not long ago, called Liu San, and jumped into the water without hesitation.

There was still broken wood on her calf, and it was painful from the surging water. However, the water in the river was so cold that the cold soon numbed her injured leg, and she gradually stopped feeling pain.

At this time, I could clearly hear the splashing and gasping sounds behind me, but it seemed that there was only one person.

Su Ya looked back, and sure enough, only Liu Sandian was following her closely, and Shen Huai was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the others?"

"Ah? Who?"

Liu Sandian was digging in the water like a dog plow. Hearing the words, he turned around to look. His hands and feet were uncoordinated and he almost sank.

Su Ya quickly helped, "Uncle, if you swim two or three feet further you can reach the beach. Go quickly!"

Liu Sandian knew what he was capable of, so he didn't hesitate at the moment and immediately plopped away.

Su Ya stepped on the water and searched the water in the distance.

The dark water surface blended with the night, with only the rippling waves of the wind and the rustle of distant reeds, and no figure of Shen Huai.

She finally stopped hesitating and turned around to rush towards where she came from.

The boat had sunk without a trace, with a few pieces of wood floating on the water. Since the wind had stopped, it was just floating in place.

Su Ya thought of Shen Huai holding the side of the boat to explore the water. Could it be that he didn't know how to swim?!

She felt a little panicked, thinking of how he had patted her on the back to calm her down when she was injured, and how he laughed and said he wanted to see if she could do it... He was injured because of her. , and I heard Liu Sandian say that he only learned how to swim, so he didn’t want to drag them down?

"Shen Huai! Shen Huai..."

Afraid of alerting the pursuers who had arrived at unknown locations, Su Ya lowered her voice and called out, but the river water quickly swallowed up her voice in the dark night, and not even a trace of movement returned.

Looking at the pieces of wood floating in front of her eyes, two of their accomplices were still stuck in Su Ya's legs, and before they had time to pull them out, she remembered the hand that was firmly protecting her calf when he was cutting the pieces of wood - that hand. Her hands were thoughtful and decisive, and she isolated all risks so that she would never be accidentally injured...

Su Ya stared blankly at the driftwood. The sound of water gradually disappeared from her ears. Instead, she heard Shen Huai's words——

He said: "So this is what I look like in your heart."

He also said: "You can trust so many people, why can't you trust me?"

He said: "Don't be afraid, don't move."

He added: "Then swim for me and see if you can swim over first."

Except for his various appearances when acting, he usually always has a cold face and speaks harshly to her, as if he is just making things difficult for her. However, if you think about it carefully, he has never really felt sorry for her since they met.

He did not expose her disguise, did not drive her out of Zhou's house because of Sun Po, even if he found out that she had prevaricated the fake map, and even if Sun Po ran away from Zhou's house, he did not express his anger because of it;

He protected her at the Sanqing Tea House, led her to break out of the siege at Xie Youlin's house, rescued her and helped her at Xue Ergui's house, but he never asked for repayment, and only talked about "deals" when he needed her help;

Even before leaving with Liu Sandian, she was actually seriously warned to remember to go to Zhou Zhai for help when she encounters difficulties...

One picture after another flashed in her mind. Su Ya didn't know exactly what she was thinking or what she should do, but she decided to dive straight into the water.

If you follow the old rules, there should still be ~
