Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 249 Coming ashore
Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.
What's more, the person was someone he knew, so Qin Ke struggled to pull Liuyun to his side. Fortunately, the swimming ring given by the system was of good quality and volume, and could bear the weight of two people.
What excited Qin Ke the most was that this storm came suddenly and went away quickly, and the sky was sunny again soon.
As the heavy rain stopped, the surging torrent was no longer as violent and turbulent as at the beginning, and gradually became calm and gentle.
Qin Ke didn't know how long he had been floating in the torrent until the water gradually weakened and the water level dropped. He finally had the opportunity to get close to the shore.
Later he didn't know how he swam to the shore. He was numb from swimming. Finally, he swam to the riverside and climbed up the river bank, rolling and crawling.
He sat down on the ground and took a few breaths. After he had recovered a little strength, he hurriedly pulled Liuyun, who was still half lying in the water, onto the shore, leaving a long drag trail on the muddy and wet shore.
He couldn't be sure how long he had been soaking in the icy river water. He was soaked and shivering with cold. He only felt that it was the instinct of survival that supported him until now, and it was his concern for his loved ones and family that continued to encourage him.
After making sure that Liuyun had not woken up from his coma, Qin Ke put away the swimming ring with peace of mind and found some food from the space. He was in no mood to care about the mud and debris on the ground at this moment. He just sat cross-legged on the ground, not caring about the mud on his hands, and filled his stomach as soon as possible to replenish his energy.
Otherwise, even if the flood did not drown him, the low temperature and hunger after reaching the shore would have killed him.
He estimated that he was now like a savage who had just rolled through a quagmire. If he appeared in front of acquaintances like this, they would probably not dare to recognize him.
He had never been so embarrassed in his life.
After wolfing down a plate of dim sum and a few pieces of pork jerky, Qin Ke felt as if he were alive again, and his exhausted body regained some strength.
Only then did he feel that his mind was able to work and think about the situation at hand.
Looking at Liuyun lying unconscious beside him, Qin Ke would have been afraid that he was dead if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest.
In ancient times, unless people lived near the sea or river, few would learn to swim. It was the best result that he could grab a branch to survive in such a critical moment.
The others who were swept away by the flood with him are probably in great danger.
The sun has set, the sky will soon get dark, and the temperature will drop at night. He must be able to find a temporary place to stay as soon as possible.
But before that, Qin Ke searched for a long time in the space before finding the box of cold medicine he had exchanged that year. At that time, Lu Youqing caught a cold and had a high fever, and the cold medicine he exchanged in the system was not used up, so it came in handy now.
Survival in the wild is difficult enough, and if you get sick, it will be terrible.
He swallowed one pill himself, and then stuffed another one into Liuyun's mouth. Fortunately, he was very cooperative and knew to swallow instinctively when he was fed water.
Thankfully, he drank some water and began to show signs of waking up.
Seeing his eyelids tremble slightly and his fingers move slightly, Qin Ke called him a few times with a look of surprise.
It would be best if he could wake up, he doesn't have the strength to carry someone.
"Cough-cough-"
Liuyun coughed a few times before slowly opening his eyes and observing the situation around him.
Qin Ke could see his eyes instantly change from confusion after waking up to sharp alertness, and his body muscles tensed up, as if he could react instantly if he found something wrong, like a disturbed wild animal, ready to attack at any time.
It was not until his eyes swept over Qin Ke, who was sitting not far from him, that his tense nerves relaxed.
"Are you awake?"
Liuyun quickly turned over and stood up, half-knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said, "Sir."
"Okay, it's time, stop wasting time. It's going to get dark soon, we have to find a place to stay first." Qin Ke waved his hand.
Qin Ke said it so lightly, but Liuyun's heart was filled with astonishing waves.
He was not stupid. From the scene before him, he could naturally guess that it was Qin Ke who saved him and dragged him ashore.
As a guard, he was assigned to Lord Qin's side, and his duty was to protect his safety, even at the cost of his life.
However, he never expected that in time of crisis, it was the person he was supposed to protect who saved him. The adult did not blame him for dereliction of duty, but even went to great lengths to save him.
Since ancient times, it has always been servants who have saved their masters, and there has never been a case of a master saving someone else. Moreover, Lord Qin's attitude clearly shows that he is accustomed to this.
What kind of person is he?
No matter what kind of person he is, at this moment, Liuyun is grateful to the person in front of him and worships him like a god.
Qin Ke had no idea of Liuyun's complicated feelings at the moment, nor did he notice that his indifferent eyes had changed significantly when he looked at him.
He had already stood up and was tidying up his messy clothes. Fortunately, before Liuyun woke up, he used the towel in the space to wipe the water off his body.
"You can still walk, right? We'd better find someone nearby so we can return to Ningtang quickly, otherwise my wife will be worried."
Although Liuyun is physically weak, he has been trained since he was a child and his physical fitness is much better than Qin Ke's.
He stood up and looked around. He was much more experienced than Qin Ke in surviving in the wild.
Looking at the continuous mountains not far away, the grass and trees were washed by the rain and were lush green. The most important thing was the faint smoke rising from the thick green.
"Sir, there are fireworks ahead, there must be someone's house."
Qin Ke followed Liuyun's finger and saw the sparse fireworks. It was evening, the time when ordinary people were preparing dinner.
"Then let's go over and take a look. It would be best if we could stay overnight."
The two of them packed up quickly and headed towards the direction of the smoke. Liuyun picked up a branch from the ground and took the initiative to lead the way.
There were no roads at all in the mountains and wilderness. It was the hottest time of July, and the weeds were lush and almost as high as people's knees. There were also rocks, branches and other debris hidden in the weeds. If you were not careful, you would trip or get scratched.
The road was extremely rugged and difficult to walk on. If Liuyun hadn't led the way, Qin Ke felt that his clothes would have been torn in no time.
They walked from the sunset when the sky was getting dark until the night fell, and finally they managed to get close to the place where the fireworks were.
But the further they walked, the more they felt uneasy.
The place where they were washed ashore was obviously near the foot of the mountain. While on the road, Qin Ke kept recalling the local chronicles he had read before. The flood was carrying them south. The only mountain in the southern part of Qinzhou seemed to be Beidai Mountain.
