In the early morning, several waterbirds were combing their feathers on the river bank. Their round eyes followed their heads and looked around. Finally, they slowly walked to the reed pile nearby and pecked twice. However, the next moment they seemed to hear something.

He flew up in shock and disappeared. At this moment, footsteps sounded, and the reeds swayed in the wind. "Old man? Is there someone there?"

When Ji Bo'an regained consciousness, he felt that everything was spinning around him. Most of his chest was burning with pain, as if someone had torn a hole in his body. There was something cold on his head. He opened his eyes,

What caught my eye was indeed a short canopy, as if I could touch my head when I sat up. Before I could open my mouth, I heard someone speaking next to me. The voice must have been that of a woman.

"Master, this young master is awake." The old woman who was sitting in the boat awning and mending clothes opened her eyes when she saw the child lying down. She originally thought that the child was beautiful enough to sleep, so she opened her eyes.

It looked even better. He turned around with a smile and called to his old man who was punting the boat outside, and then stood up carefully.

"Are you awake?" The old man was holding the boat. His clothes were shabby and faded. There were still large and small sewing patches on them. He also wore a hat on his head. He was in good spirits. He listened.

He listened to the old woman's voice in the cabin, then shook the oar twice more, and then carefully walked into the boat.

As soon as he entered the canopy of the boat, he saw Ji Bo'an lying on his back and his wife who had stood up and leaned to one side waving to him. He took off the hat he was wearing, took it in his hand and fanned his neck.

He stretched forward and took a look, and saw that Ji Bo'an was looking at the roof of the boat with wide eyes, and then he sat down with a smile. "Baby, are you awake?" he said to Ji Bo'an, his attitude was extremely close and kind.

.

Ji Bo'an waited and kept looking at the awning of the boat. He just heard someone's voice and couldn't fully recover for a while. At this time, when he heard that the old man was asking again, he gradually came to his senses. He opened his mouth to speak, but felt that his throat was stuck.

It's a little hot inside and makes me very thirsty.

"Drink some water quickly. It seems that she is short of water and her throat is uncomfortable." The old woman looked at Ji Bo'an's mouth and opened his mouth but could not say a word. She immediately thought that it must be the problem of excessive blood loss, so

He turned around and took a kettle from the small stove next to him, poured a glass of water and handed it to the old man. "Quickly, give him something to drink to moisten his throat."

The old man's shoulder was pulled, then he nodded, took the water glass and sent it to Ji Bo'an. Ji Bo'an originally wanted to get up and get the water glass, but the pain just caused him to break out in cold sweat. Again

He fell back onto the bunk.

"Don't move, don't move!" The old man was also startled by him. The injuries on his body were really serious. Why did he get up and get water for himself? "Just lie down and I'll feed you." After that,

Then he carefully brought the water glass to Ji Bo'an's mouth.

"I wonder where this is? Where are you two?" Ji Bo'an drank the water in this old man's posture, which slightly relieved the dry feeling in his mouth. He didn't know what the situation was now, but

Can ask the old couple in front of me.

After hearing Ji Bo'an's question, the old man replied: "We are boat and fishermen in this area, and we make a living on the water all year round." He pointed to the boat, then pointed to the river bank in front and continued to preach:

"This morning my wife and I planned to go to the river bank to find some wild eggs laid by birds. We saw you lying in the reeds, so we rescued you. Further ahead is Huaiyi City, but it's not far away.

Stay away." In the morning, his wife saw the child and was frightened. A long wound was cut directly across the chest. When the clothes were cut open, the skin and flesh inside were soaked in water and turned white. If it weren't for his fate,

I guess it's hard now.

Ji Bo'an couldn't see what was going on outside in the canopy of the boat. He just felt that the day was a little dark. He thought that it must be the strong current that drove him into the reeds so that he was not found by the killers. He coughed softly twice and faced

The old couple thanked them, and then asked, "Since we are in Huaiyi ahead, how long is the journey to get there?" By the time they arrived in Huaiyi, they estimated that no one would dare to attack them anymore.

"It will take about half a day." The old man replied: "We have old arms and legs, and we can't row as fast as those young people, so it will take at least half a day to get to the city. In recent years, there has been a lot of boating on the water.

It's getting harder and harder to fish, otherwise I wouldn't have come so far to meet you." Hearing these words, he knew that this young man was eager to think about something important in the city.

"You kid, don't think about anything else. Take good care of your health first. The fever has just gone away. Why are you so nagging?" The old woman looked at Ji Bo'an's white lips and tugged on the person sitting in front of her.

The old man complained in a low voice. "It's almost dark. Eat something and then lie down and continue to sleep. The veil on the top of your head has just been changed. Don't take it off yet." This child is considered to be very lucky, but he doesn't have it.

What happened? I had a fever for a day and finally the fever went down. I felt very distressed.

Ji Bo'an could only hold back what he originally wanted to say for the time being. He nodded and smiled at the old woman and the old man, indicating that he agreed.

After the old woman brought some soup and water and fed it to Ji Bo'an, it was completely dark. Half a candle was lit on the boat, and Ji Bo'an was accompanied by the sound of the old couple talking and eating.
