The water transportation in southern Xinjiang is not well developed, only because of its back to the sea, there are several small inland sea tributaries extending to the southern Xinjiang region. The water source problem of the people in southern Xinjiang is solved by the formation of a stream flowing down a waterfall in the deep mountains. The river course of tianhongcheng is a low salt river formed by the confluence of inland sea tributaries and streams. The river surface is very wide, and it is generally calm during the day, and the river water will become very turbulent after nightfall After the strict training of those water ghosts, ordinary people do not dare to enter the water.

The sunshine in April is not too dazzling, but it is also uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun all the time. The downstream position of the river channel, the mountains standing on both sides of the river bank, have disappeared. In the distance, there is an endless sea. The beach is not a beach, but full of pebbles. Yan Shengrui, washed to the bank by the water, lies on the pebbles.

"Well"

Yan Shengrui opened his eyes fiercely. Before he could see the situation clearly, his eyes were stimulated and had to close tightly. His right hand was lifted up and could not support his head. Yan Shengrui felt the burning pain all over his body, especially his head and throat, which seemed to smoke with pain.

"Jingxuan? "Jingxuan"

last night's events suddenly slipped through his mind, and he could no longer take care of his own pain. Yan Shengrui got up and called Ling Jingxuan's name in a hoarse voice. His bloodshot eyes quickly searched around. He remembered that he had been holding Jingxuan's hand all the time last night. They should not be scattered too far away, but he did not appear. Yan Shengrui was flustered At last, I found the figure in my memory in a few hundred meters.

"Jingxuan Jingxuan"

regardless of the pain of the body as if it was falling apart, Yan Shengrui got up with difficulty, stumbled and ran over, and picked up Ling Jingxuan lying on the ground: "Jingxuan? Jingxuan, wake up, don't scare me, wake up! "

At last, his nose trembled, and he was afraid that one day his heart was still out of breath.

"Jingxuan? Jingxuan, wake up, Jingxuan? "

Let go of him a little, Yan Shengrui free a hand to gently pat his cheek, his body is uncomfortable like this, not to mention Jingxuan, he must wake up, and then leave with him.

"Well"

maybe he heard his cry, or it was almost time to wake up. Ling Jingxuan's cracked mouth overflowed with an uncomfortable groan. Before opening his eyes, he felt that his chest hurt to death, and his throat seemed to be stuck. In contrast, his right shoulder blade wound was numb and numb after soaking in low salt water overnight.

"Cough, it's pain"

with a burst of severe cough, Ling Jingxuan slowly opened his eyes. The dazzling sun stabbed him to close his eyes immediately. When he got used to the sunlight, he opened his eyes again. He looked around in a daze. He noticed that he was being held in his arms. Subconsciously, Ling Jingxuan raised his head and opened his eyes with a smile.

"We won the bet."

At the end of the speech, Ling Jingxuan made a gesture and wanted to hold him with open arms. The pain in his right shoulder blade hit him again, and his handsome face was immediately wrinkled into a ball. Yan Shengrui was also distressed and said: "let's let you have a zither. I'll see if there is any bleeding."

Yan Shengrui held out his hand. It was not until then that he found that his daughter-in-law was covered in rags. The pure cotton robe had been torn by the water, and the bandage on his shoulder was loose. Looking down at himself, he didn't seem to be any better. Yan Shengrui's eyes were sour, and he almost didn't burst into tears. As a man, even his daughter-in-law was all over What kind of man is he if he is not well protected?

"It's OK. The salt can disinfect and stop bleeding. There is no sign of deterioration in the wound. Don't worry."

It's not that he didn't see his remorse, but now is not the time to comfort him. They have to find a place to settle down temporarily. His wound needs to be treated again. They also need to eat to replenish their physical strength.

"Well, let's get out of here first."

Nodding his head, Yan Shengrui tried to bear his self blame and beat him up. He was careful not to touch his injured shoulder blade. Ling Jingxuan smiled and leaned his head over his neck and gently kissed him: "we are lucky to be alive. Don't think so much about it."

Last night, he remembered that when they were washed away by the river, their whole body would not be able to do anything, but his hand, always firmly held by a big hand, was enough.

Unlike other coastal areas, there is no village on the seashore here. Yan Shengrui walked with Ling Jingxuan for a long time before he saw a family from afar. At this moment, he did not care whether the other side would be exclusive. He took Ling Jingxuan and knocked on the seemingly shabby gate.

"Buckle"

"is anyone there? Open the door, will you? "

This is a small mud yard. It is a bit like Ling Jingxuan's old house in Lingjia village. Yan Shengrui is not sure if there is anyone in it. He can only ask politely and leave a good impression on the other party as much as possible. There is no sign of people nearby. He really doesn't want to let his daughter-in-law suffer any more.

"Qi Ya"

just when they thought that this might be an abandoned empty house, and they were ready to break in directly, the closed door was opened from inside, and a black and thin little turnip's head poked out his head: "who are you?"Should be the boy's children raised their heads, eyes blinking at them, dark star eyes carrying innocence and curiosity "little brother, do you have adults in your family?"

Seeing that he was a child, Yan Shengrui could not help frowning. Ling Jingxuan patted him on the shoulder to show him to let him down. He squatted in front of him with a smile on his face. However, his throat soaked in sea water could not make any tender and pleasant voice.

"Father, mother, brother?"

The ragged little boy didn't answer his question. Instead, he ran in, forgetting to close the door. Because of the exclusion of the people in southern Xinjiang, Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui did not follow him. Instead, he stood outside and waited. After a while, the door was opened completely, and the man with the wood knife appeared first Behind him was a timid woman and children of all ages.

Yan Sheng Rui Ling Jingxuan both mouth corner a draw, as for? They just want to take care of the wound and have a rest. As for swordsmen, do they fight each other?

"Who are you? Go away, my daughter is not a monster. Get out of here

The man is very vicious, the wood knife in his hand is extremely sharp under the sunlight.

Hearing an important message from the man's words, Ling Jingxuan stepped forward with a smile, fearless of the Chai knife in his hand, and explained: "brother, don't get me wrong. We are not bad people, but businessmen from the Central Plains to southern Xinjiang. Last night, our husband returned to the city late, and the gate was closed. Originally, we wanted to find a family to stay with. But we met robbers I fell into the river because my shoulder was stabbed. This is my husband. We were washed down from the upper reaches of the river. It took us half a day to see your family. Can you let us go in and have a rest? "

"You?? Really not from the village? "

The man hesitated to look at them. Seeing that they were all in rags, he could not help but believe him. The main reason was that Ling Jingxuan had a good temper and a modest attitude. It was absolutely impossible for those people in the village to be so gentle.

"No, big brother, you can tell by our accent that we are not local people, not even from southern Xinjiang."

Facing his eyes, Ling Jingxuan nodded. Although his voice was hoarse and ugly, he could still recognize the difference in his accent. The man took his heart off and slowly took back the wood knife facing them: "you come in, take a rest and take care of the wound. There is nothing we can do for you."

"Well, big brother, you are really a good man, so we will disturb you."

Seeing that he got out of the way, Ling Jingxuan was not polite. He took Yan Shengrui and walked in with them. The yard was not very big. There was no decoration. Only a stone mill was placed in the corner of the yard. There were no farm tools in the peasant metropolis. There were three rooms in the room, which were covered with mud walls and some wild grass in the mountain. The hall was still sitting An elderly man was very hunched and coughing from time to time. In addition, there was only a relatively complete square table in the hall, a few stools without arms and legs, and several pieces of fur hanging up. The family was very poor?? Really with his original home when he just came over a level, the real home is four walls.

"Water Water You drink water "

The hostess looks a little cowardly and doesn't look forward to it. When she brings a water to them, she trembles. Ling Jingxuan can't help but look at her twice. I don't know if it's his illusion. He always feels that the woman's spirit seems to be abnormal. Maybe it's a doctor's occupational disease. Ling Jingxuan can't help laughing and secretly scolds himself for nothing, even if the other party's spirit What if it's really abnormal? They meet by chance and will be separated later. He can't help.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, little brother. Can you tell Uncle where to draw water?"

Throwing her a grateful smile, Ling Jingxuan looks down at the thick bowl full of gaps. His sight falls on the little boy hiding behind the woman. The older boy seems to have gone to another room with the man. Listening to what he said just now, the family seems to have a daughter.

"Mountains, mountains."

The little boy is not as smooth as at the beginning, his bright eyes are still naive and curious, but a little more shy.

"Is it? Thank you, brother

It seems that he really overestimated the family. He had thought that if there was a well, he could let out crescent spring to clean the wounds, and also inject some water into them to repay them. Unfortunately, it's not enough in the mountains.

"First you drink water to moisten your throat. When I ask you where the water is in the mountains, I'll fetch you two buckets of water. Your wound needs cleaning and dressing up again."

Next to Yan Shengrui took a bowl of water and sent it to his lips. Ling Jingxuan nodded and took a sip with his hand. His dry and painful throat instantly felt much more comfortable: "you can also have a drink, I'm almost."

The remaining half of the water, Ling Jingxuan shook his head and pushed away the bowl. Once he had carried water to eat. Although it was only one day, it was enough to let him know how precious the water was.

"I'm not thirsty!"

Yan Shengrui sent the bowl to him again without thinking about it. Ling Jingxuan glared at him angrily: "cheat the ghost, can you not be thirsty after soaking in the fresh water for a night? If you want to drink it, you don't have to let meHe loves him, doesn't he? Husband and wife are mutual, a person's heartache is not long.

Knowing that he was serious, Yan Shengrui took a deep look at him and took the water to his mouth. The cool fresh water went from throat to stomach all the way, and even his heart was warm. His daughter-in-law was in love with him.
