Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

"Help! Help quickly!!!"

There was chaos on the boat and Yu Shizhang shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Puff-"

"Puff-"

The two crew members tied ropes and dived into the water.

"Puff-"

Yu Jiusi, wearing armor, plunged into the water.

But the night was pitch black, and on the river surface as thick as ink, they couldn't find Shen Zheng at all, so they could only search along the current.

......

Shen Zheng can swim.

Quite the kind.

Although she had never swam in the wild, when she was in Tongan County, she was able to jump into the river to save people.

After raising his head out of the water, Shen Zheng looked at the boat that had left him behind and an idiom suddenly popped up in his mind - "carving a boat to look for a sword".

No one on the boat seemed to know that she could swim, so based on experience, they thought she would just drift slowly with the current.

But because she was good at swimming, she was confused for a while before she was able to steady herself.

Both sides missed perfectly.

"I am here--"

As soon as the shouting started, Shen Zheng suddenly shut her mouth.

The enemy...might be in the dark. If she shouts rashly, the ones she calls out might not just be her own people.

She could sneak ashore first, and after Yu Shizhang and the others had searched for a while and couldn't see anyone anymore, they would definitely find a place to stop the boat and look for her.

And...this seemed like an opportunity.

The system didn't leave her much time. She had to take out the 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes before the next dark, no matter if she "picked them up" outside or "stolen" them. In short, these 300 kilograms of sweet potato seeds could not appear on the boat inexplicably.

After all, there are many people on the ship, so it is best not to take the risk of "creating something out of nothing".

And now...

She only needed to swim to the shore while ensuring safety, then "pick up" a few sacks of strange crops, and then return to the boat. Everything would be reasonable.

After all, she is the "daughter of destiny" in everyone's eyes.

It is normal for the "daughter of destiny" to go ashore and pick up some things after falling into the water. After all, that is what is written in the storybook.

Shen Zheng called it a gift from God.

Having made the decision, she slowly adjusted her breathing, swam her limbs slightly, and swam slowly towards the shore.

The river water was slightly cool. While swimming, Shen Zheng smoothed the hair that was sticking to her face.

At this moment, a flash of silver light flashed in the water, which was particularly obvious in the dark night.

Shen Zheng's scalp felt numb and she subconsciously stopped swimming.

That silver light...

Is it a weapon?

Their enemies actually set an ambush in the water?

The discomfort caused by the sword's edge just now surged into Shen Zheng's heart like a tide. She held her breath and quietly retracted her head into the water.

After waiting quietly for a moment, the silver light disappeared again, and the river surface was still as dark and thick as before.

After making sure that there was no movement around her, she quietly exposed her head to breathe, and in the blink of an eye, another flash of silver light appeared.

Still that position?

Shen Zheng frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on the underwater area.

What kind of pursuer...can hold his breath for so long underwater?

Even diving experts wouldn’t be that bad, right?

This is not right!

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, took a deep breath, and slowly sank into the water. After seeing clearly what the silver light was, her eyes widened and a series of small bubbles gurgled out of her mouth.

——That silver light was not an enemy at all, nor was it the edge of a weapon.

That damn thing...is Yu Jiusi!

Who can swim so well as to dive headfirst into a wild river?

No!

so......

Yu Jiusi is a landlubber!

He's still a typical landlubber with his armor entangled in water plants!

Shen Zheng was anxious and panicked. She surfaced to breathe and then dived into the water, swimming towards Yu Jiusi against the current.

This is physical work.

When she was swimming towards the shore just now, she was swimming along with the current, without having to exert any effort at all, feeling relaxed, free and at ease.

But now she had to save Yu Jiusi, so she could only swim downstream for a while.

In order to allow large ships to have enough water, the water in the canal is not shallow. The deepest point is three to five meters. Yu Jiusi estimated that he was entangled by water plants at a depth of nearly two meters.

In the darkness, Shen Zheng could not see anything except the occasional reflective armor on Yu Jiusi's body. She could only quickly surface her head to breathe and swim towards Yu Jiusi little by little.

It was just a short moment, but she felt like a long time had passed, and even her hands and feet began to feel sore.

Very close...

Finally, after she surfaced for the fewest time to breathe, she swam above Yu Jiusi.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Zheng dived down without hesitation.

The river water poured into her ears mercilessly. She opened her eyes wide and finally found the right position with her hands and grabbed Yu Jiusi's shoulder armor.

But Yu Jiusi didn't react at all.

Shen Zheng suppressed the bad thoughts in her mind, held Yu Jiusi with one hand, and took off the short knife on her arm with the other hand. In a few seconds, she cut off all the water plants that were entangled with Yu Jiusi.

Freed from the restraint of the water plants, Yu Jiusi automatically followed the current and floated downstream.

Shen Zheng's heart sank when he saw this. He didn't even have time to put away his knife. He moved his limbs and caught up with Yu Jiusi.

"Yu Jiusi!"

She wanted to put her arms through Yu Jiusi's armpits, but Yu Jiusi was strong and wearing armor, so she couldn't hold him with one hand.

In response, she could only hold Yu Jiusi's head with her armpits and shouted, "Yu Jiusi, can you still hear me?"

No answer.

Shen Zheng gritted her teeth secretly, grabbed Yu Jiusi's ponytail, made him face up, and pulled him towards the shore.

To guard against enemies in the dark, Shen Zheng chose to go ashore on the opposite bank where there were obstacles.

......

The moment Shen Zheng brought Yu Jiusi ashore, she felt completely exhausted and just wanted to lie down and catch her breath.

But she didn't dare to rest at all.

After removing Yu Jiusi's armor, she used her short knife to cut off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her finger. After lifting Yu Jiusi's jaw, she began to clean his mouth and nose and open his airway.

After making sure there was no foreign object in his mouth, she pinched Yu Jiusi's nose and began to blow air into him.

After the breath is given, chest compressions are performed, and the cycle continues.

After performing the first aid action twice, Yu Jiusi still did not respond, and Shen Zheng became a little scared.

She pressed Yu Jiusi's chest hard and whispered his name.

Yu Jiusi did this to save her. If anything happened to Yu Jiusi, how would she explain to Yu Shizhang and his son?

As she thought about it, Shen Zheng's eyes began to heat up. While pressing his chest, she said in a trembling voice: "You landlubber, why did you jump into the river? You are not saving me..."

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Yu Jiusi closed his eyes, coughed a few times, and coughed up some water.

Shen Zheng quickly stepped forward, patted his face and asked, "Yu Jiusi, are you awake?"

Yu Jiusi didn't respond again.

Shen Zheng frowned, stretched out her finger to probe the tip of his nose, then put her ear against his chest to listen.

Breathing is back to normal.

The heartbeat is back to normal.

This is great news.

but......

Why didn’t Yu Jiusi wake up?

As I was thinking, a little fire appeared on the other side of the river, reflecting the waves on the river and the swaying reeds.

But the other party...is not one of their own.
