For two days in a row, Dodge chatted with Liu, Liu, or Xie, then practiced kung fu, and his days went by in a carefree and carefree manner. Du Qi gradually began to feel depressed and bored, and started to yearn for a free and unfettered life. At this moment, he especially wanted the yellow clothed girl to come and talk to him, but everything was in vain. The yellow clothed girl and the white clothed masked lady seemed to have disappeared after they boarded the ship, never to appear again.

That night, when he had nothing better to do, he heard someone shout, "A thief has attacked! "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Suddenly, the ship's alarm bells rang, causing panic and confusion.

Although Du Qi clearly heard the person's shout, he did not understand what was going on and could not help but be slightly startled. He then somewhat frantically rushed to the corridor outside and found that there were already quite a few people squeezed in. There were even more people pouring out from the warehouse.

The old scholar and the other two girls also rushed into the corridor. Looking at the scene in front of them, the old scholar shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. Protect my Miss!"

Even without his orders, the five bodyguards automatically stood in front of them. Although they did not see any sabers in their hands, they were still highly alert and composed, as if they were used to the weather.

Prime Minister Xie grabbed Du Qi and placed him behind him. His expression was even more composed than the five bodyguards, as if he didn't need to worry about anything big.

After trying his best to suppress the spirits, Du Qi was in the mood to survey the situation in the corridor. The old scholar and the two girls were behind him. The corridor in front of them was full of people. The stairs to the deck were guarded by several men, so they all crowded into the corridor and slowly made their way to the other side of the Dookie.

The five bodyguards had no choice but to slowly retreat. Gradually, Dodge was pushed close to the old scholar, and the two girls pressed against the wall, their chests heaving.

Suddenly, the large ship began to shake. It seemed as if the bottom of the ship was clashing against something, or as if someone was knocking against the bottom of the ship. He felt that the walls of the ship were shaking and rotating, his feet seemed to be a little weak, and his whole body felt a little uncomfortable. Helpless, he could only take two deep breaths, and before he could adjust his mood, he heard a "Hua" sound, followed by someone shouting: "Not good, the bottom of the boat is flooded!"

The shout seemed weak and insignificant in the noisy corridor, as if no one heard it. It did not attract anyone's attention at all. The people in the corridor were still talking and making noise.

Du Qi couldn't help but whisper to Liu Yue, "Patrol Guard Liu, the bottom of the ship is flooded, what should we do?"

Of course, he had heard the shout just now, but it was a little weak. If he had not paid attention to it or if he was not strong enough, he would not have been able to hear it. However, Du Qi had actually heard it, and seemed to have heard it very clearly, causing him to think that everyone had heard it.

The people around them had all heard their conversation, and Du Qi noticed that only the old scholar's expression changed slightly, while the rest of the people were at a loss. The yellow clothed lady stared at him with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to suck him into her eyes, and a trace of gentleness could be seen on her face. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Run! The bottom of the boat is flooded!"

This time the shout came from the stairs that led to the bottom of the ship. It overshadowed all the sounds in the corridor so that everyone in the corridor could clearly hear it. Suddenly, the corridor became silent.

The person at the foot of the stairs suddenly yelled out and dashed towards the deck. Under his shouting and leading, the people in the corridor became even more flustered. They all rushed up like a tide, completely ignoring the guards who couldn't stop them at all.

A bodyguard turned around and asked, "Elder Song, what should we do?" Only now did Du Qi know that the old scholar's surname was Shen.

The old scholar named Shen said, "Keep your distance, we will slowly walk up."

None of the five bodyguards said anything else, so they slowly made their way to the stairs.

"Elder Song and the ladies, please go first, we will cut off the rear of the Luo Ma Gang." Dodge and Xie leaned to let Elder Song and the two girls pass.

As he led the two girls past Dodge, Elder Shen gave him what seemed a meaningful look, as if he were still speaking. Finally, he passed by without looking at Dodge again.

Due to the already chaotic corridor, there were still many people rushing up from below. Elder Shen had just passed by Du Qi and had no choice but to stop, the two girls were forced to stop right in front of him, the white-clothed girl was right next to Du Qi while the yellow-clothed girl was on the other side. They were both half a head shorter than Du Qi. At this moment, everyone could only use their strength to slowly move forward.

Although the two girls were by his side, Dodge was no longer in the mood to talk to them. Smelling the faint fragrance they gave off, he was still a little dizzy, and felt a little flustered.

After the alarm rang, everyone's eardrums were filled with the sound of "poof poo poo boom". Every time the sound rang out, the huge ship would slightly shake or sway a little.

Most of the people in the corridor understood that the sounds came from arrows and stone slabs hitting the ship. They knew that the ship was at war with the enemy, and their side was clearly at an absolute disadvantage. Just as everyone was panicking, a man at the stairs shouted, "Faithful warriors, listen up! Prepare to face the enemy!"

The shout wasn't very loud, but it was clearly transmitted into the ears of everyone in the corridor. With this shout, the corridor once again fell silent. Most of the people moved their bodies in silence, but not all of them squeezed out.

The crowded and chaotic corridor suddenly seemed to be in order, the candles that had somehow been extinguished were reignited, and those who might have been "loyal warriors" methodically ascended the stairs to join the resistance, while the rest of the group consciously remained where they were.

Violent shouts and tragic cries continuously rang from the deck. It could be seen how terrible the battle outside was. Everyone in the corridor was extremely worried, and they didn't know what to do.

The water in the corridor began to flow, and the ship began to tilt to one side. Most of the loyal warriors were engaged in battle, while the rest remained in the corridor to maintain order. Elder Song shouted, "Let's go up!"

As soon as Elder Song's words left his mouth, the two nearby loyal warriors cleared a path for them without a word. Dodge followed closely behind the girl in white, stepping onto the upper corridor and moving towards the stern.

As soon as he reached the upper levels, he felt that the shouts and screams of battle had become clearer, fiercer, and more stimulating, causing him to unconsciously become timid.

Along the way, the big ship was now leaning left and right, now forward and backward, and it took them a while to stumble their way to the stern exit. There were a lot of people gathered here, but they could not see the river because of the dense mass of heads, but they could see the rocket flashing in the night sky, and they could hear the thick smoke curling around them, and they could hear the constant crackling and the crying of people, and it was obvious that there were many fires burning on the ship.

The firelight from an unknown place shone on everyone's faces, making them look dark and flickering, making them appear sinister and terrifying. Coupled with the ear-piercing screams, it made people feel as if doomsday had arrived.

With a hong sound, the boat crashed into something. Immediately, it collapsed and sunk sideways. Rain began to fall, and everyone's clothes were soaked. It was cold and uncomfortable, and they became even more panicked and confused. Amidst the screams, everyone seemed to be thrown into the river, vaguely feeling that they were surrounded by spots of light and the shadow of a black boat.

The moment Du Qi's feet left the body of the ship, he stretched out his hands and made a grabbing motion, which he had practiced since childhood. He suddenly grabbed onto the arm of a person, and before he could identify who he was grabbing onto, the force of the arrow and the river had already arrived. With a burst of force from Du Qi, the two of them wrapped themselves together and changed their descent routes in the air, dodging a few arrows, and suddenly sank into the raging river.

In this torrential wind and turbulent waves, with no one able to see his fingers, coupled with the panic in his heart, he was slapped head-on by the waves. Only then did he break out of the water, and in the next moment, he fell back into the water.

Luckily, Du Qi had been playing catch fish in the Han River since he was a child. He was very skilled in water and had profound internal energy. Regardless of what he was hit by or how the wind or waves came, he would always be holding on to the person in his hands tightly. He decided on a single direction, struggling on the border of being a human or a ghost with only one hand and two legs.

After an unknown period of time, Du Qi gradually began to feel exhausted. The true energy within his body seemed to have been washed clean by the river, not a single bit of it remained.

Fortunately, at this time, the rain gradually slowed down and Yue'er revealed a small part of her face. Many floating objects drifted around her, but no one was around. He was about to give up struggling when he was suddenly aware that he had been washed close to the shore. Delighted by the force of the force, he pulled the man toward the shore.

As soon as he reached the shallows at the shore, he could no longer hold on. Lying on his back in the mud, the tide continued to come in waves, but they were no longer as urgent as before.

Du Qi gasped for breath, only after a long while did he regain his senses, only to realize that he was holding onto the white clothed young miss's jade arm. That young lady's white clothes were soaked in the river and lost their original color due to the mud.

Dodge, who was struggling to half raise himself, saw her face, and his heart skipped a beat. She was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round, white, oval face, crescent brows, tightly shut eyes, and high eyelashes. Her nose was as straight as a mountain, and her cherry lips seemed to be closed yet not close; she was many times more beautiful than the yellow-clothed lady. When he saw her still breathing, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. Just as he was about to get up, he saw a light coming from the direction upstream of the river, and he barely managed to look up, and was horrified to see three giant three-masted ships and ten or so boats coming along the river with bright lights on them. The shouts of the crowd on the boats could be heard, and at the sight of it, he was so frightened that his scalp went numb.

After a short period of time, like the passing of thousands of lifetimes, when Du Qi was praying for all the gods and buddhas that he knew or didn't know, the many ships finally left. Fortunately, the place where the two of them were standing happened to be in the darkness, where the lights were still dim and the sky was covered with drizzling rain, making it difficult for the lights to reach far, allowing the two of them to fortunately avoid their search.

It took all the effort he could muster to move the white-clad lady into the depths of the meadow on the river bank, and then she collapsed, and Yue'er was once again covered by the drifting clouds, and the two of them disappeared into the darkness of the river bank.

Du Qi was confused for a moment. Unable to hold on any longer, his vision turned dark and he fell into a deep slumber.

He did not know how long he slept, but when he woke up again, only to see the sun shining down over the fields, his body warm and harmonious, while the top of his head was incredibly cool, and the heat from the soles of his chest seemed to have seeped into his soul. He moaned in comfort, and for a moment he thought he was still in his own little nest.

It was early in the morning, and he could not see the river on the other side of the river. He could not tell where he was, and he did not know which morning it was.

He suddenly thought of the lady in white, but there was no trace of her. He was afraid that she would slip back into the river, so he hurriedly got up and looked around, but still couldn't find any trace of the young lady. He muttered: "That young lady is really a weirdo, she left without a word. Ai, what should we do now?"

He couldn't help but grind his teeth and stand up, clenching his fists, he shouted madly into a fist: "No! No!" He thought that although he did not have any intentions, he spent a lot of effort to save her, but now she has actually run away without a sound, and he had already repeatedly asked her and the other female relatives in the family whether they were alive or not in his heart, but he still could not bring himself to accept it. He stood up, clenched his fists, and shouted to the sky: "No! I have to find her no matter what! I want to go back! I want to go back to Xiangyang! I want to go back to the Loma Gang! "Yah …"
