Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

This night was particularly torturous.

The clothes on her body were half-baked and half-dried by her body temperature. Finally, Shi Li fell asleep in a daze, hugging her knees.

Her body tilted, and Eighteen caught her accurately.

His arms were stiff, as if he was holding a hot potato instead of a delicate and soft girl.

Secret guards should not be sentimental. If they are sentimental, many things cannot be handled calmly.

But the secret guards are also human beings, and they cannot control their emotions.

When Shi Li woke up, the sky was dimly lit.

I feel a little headache, I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t sleep well or I caught a cold.

Rubbing his eyes, he sat up and found that the pillow he had just rested on was Shiba's legs. Shi Li immediately looked at him sincerely and said, "Thank you for your hard work this evening."

Eighteen tilted his head and shook it.

There were endless mountains and forests all around them, and there was no sign of human habitation, so the two of them quietly walked back to the riverside where they had climbed ashore, preparing to walk south along the river to find a populated area first.

Now that he had temporarily gotten rid of the bandits, Shi Li also had time to think carefully about what had happened last night.

I've heard before that you'd occasionally encounter pirates on the river.

But normally pirates rob ships for money, but the group that got on board yesterday didn't think twice before killing everyone on the ship, which is really illogical.

It felt like he was going for the people on the boat, and was just using the identity of a pirate as a disguise and cover.

Shi Li couldn't quite believe it. It was really terrifying that Xu could be so crazy and so connected.

Immersed in her thoughts, Shi Li did not notice her surroundings until she heard Shi Ba whisper, "Miss, there is someone in the water."

Shi Li came to his senses and looked towards the river.

I saw a pale woman lying on a broken and narrow wooden board, with her eyes closed, and it was unclear whether she was alive or dead.

There was another young man next to him, clinging to the edge of the board, his neck below submerged in water, his eyes also tightly closed.

Shi Li recognized these two people as the mother and son she had seen on the boat before.

So he felt compassion and looked at Eighteen, "Can you save him?"

"Miss, wait a minute."

Eighteen never let Shi Li down and quickly pulled the mother and child out of the water.

Although the boy's breath was weak, he was still alive. However, his mother was already very frail, and she had been floating in the water for so long out of fear that she had already stopped breathing.

They are also two poor people.

Shi Li was not sure whether the pirates last night were targeting him or not, but he couldn't just stand by and watch them die, so he could only help the boy again.

Eighteen didn't know any medicine, but he knew that pain was the best way to make people sober. He took out a thin silver needle from somewhere and pricked the boy's body.

The intense pain woke the boy up from his coma, and the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to look for his mother.

Seeing that his mother had completely stopped breathing, the boy knelt stiffly beside her, as if petrified, unable to move.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Shi Li stood by and did not say anything like "My condolences", but just waited silently for the boy to react.

This process did not take long. The young man was determined. He clenched his hands into fists at his sides and turned to look at Shi Li.

"Thank you for saving me and my mother." His voice was hoarse and trembling, and he was obviously trying hard to suppress his grief.

Shi Li couldn't bear it, so he tilted his head and said softly, "I just didn't stand by and watch him die."

The young man was not good at speaking. He was silent for a while, then suddenly took out a jade pendant of fine quality and handed it to Shi Li solemnly.

"I have nothing at the moment, so I give you this jade pendant. In the future...if you have the chance, I will repay you with a spring of gratitude."

Shi Li didn't expect anything in return from him, but seeing his attitude, she said nothing and took the jade pendant.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to him, "You are alone now. Why don't you join us for the time being and then separate when we find a town?"

The boy didn't say anything and stared at his mother's body for a long time.

Finally he raised his head and said, "Okay."

Before setting off again, the boy dug a deep pit in an open area nearby and buried his mother in it.

His power is limited, so he will probably have to finish this task until tomorrow.

When it wasn't needed, Li ordered Shiba to help him.

The boy glanced at him and didn't say thank you.

The two great favors of saving my life and burying my mother cannot be thanked with words.

By the time they continued on their journey, it was almost evening.

Fortunately, we followed the river and finally arrived at a place where there were people before dark.

This place is very close to Jiangnan.

Shi Li stayed at the inn and then sent someone to deliver a letter to the Sun family.

"So you are the daughter of the Sun family." The young man's name was Shi Yi, and he showed a look of realization when he saw Shi Li.
