At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 715 Trapped
The earthquake stopped, but it started to rain heavily, the sky was dark, the sky was dark, the lightning flashed and the thunder roared, and the wind howled, as if a huge hole had been torn open in the sky, and the endless rain poured down, shaking the already shocked eyes everywhere. The barren earth was scoured vigorously until it peeled off its skin and bones, until it was beyond recognition.

The collapsed city walls and collapsed houses disintegrated in the heavy rain; the people buried alive in the ruins were struggling in pain; the surviving people on the ground were running in panic and helpless, calling out to their relatives and friends in the heavy rain ...

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs!
In the billions of years of the earth, disasters are the norm, and stability is only accidental.

The heavy rain kept falling, the river water rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and became turbid, and the clear Yangtze River became the Yellow River.

At this moment, Gao Bufan is hiding under a cliff by the river. This place is sunken, and above it is a huge protruding rock, forming a rock crack four to five meters long and only about one meter high. Sit down and take shelter from the wind and rain for a while.

It was dark outside, stormy and stormy, and less than half a meter below was the roaring torrent of the river. Gao Bufan was very glad that he found this shelter in time, otherwise his water quality would be against the sky. In the end, he was exhausted and buried in the river.

There was another person lying next to Gao Bufan. It was A Qing, a young man from the Miao people. He just suffered a few skin traumas on his body, but he still hasn't woken up yet. He probably passed out when his head was hit by a foreign object when the rocks fell and the ship sank. The strange thing is that there is no wound on his head. Maybe it was only a ship plank or something that stunned him. In short, it would not be a falling rock, otherwise it would not be as simple as fainting.

The river was still rising, and the rainwater poured down from the rocks above, forming a water curtain, and the cracks in the rocks seemed to become water curtain holes. Can only be helpless, resigned to fate.

Gao Bufan roughly calculated that after he rescued her, he should have drifted down the river for about ten miles, that is to say, he was at least ten miles away from Qingruo's people. Alas, I don't know how Qingruo is now. With her temperament, Maybe I will go down the river to find myself.

Thinking of this, Gao Bufan couldn't help worrying, with the current water situation, he couldn't even help himself in the water, let alone Qing Ruo, I hope this girl won't be stupid.

At this moment, Ah Qing, a young Miao man, moved a bit, groaned in pain, then sat up slowly, looked around blankly and said, "I...where is this?"

Gao Bufan couldn't understand what he said, and said calmly: "You are very lucky, you have saved your life temporarily."

Ah Qing was startled, only then did he discover Gao Bufan's existence, and subconsciously touched the hatchet at his waist.Gao Bufan frowned and said, "You want to repay your kindness with revenge?"

Ah Qing glanced around in the dim light, and asked in surprise, "You saved me?"

Gao Bufan understood it this time, because Ah Qing spoke Chinese, although he had some bumps, he could barely understand it, and asked, "What do you think?"

Although Ah Qing has a bad temper, he is not a fool. In such an environment, and only Gao Bufan is next to him, there is no one else except himself who was rescued by the other party. I like the Han people, but you saved me, I still have to thank you."

Gao Bufan smiled lightly: "I don't hate Miao people, but I hate people saying thank you to me."

Ah Qing was slightly stunned: "Why?"

"Because this means that the other party has taken advantage of me, so don't be false. How much is the word thank you worth?"

Ah Qing couldn't help being speechless, and said after a moment of hesitation: "Don't worry, I will repay you."

"What repayment?" Gao Bufan asked with great interest.

Ah Qing frowned and said, "What do you want in return? I don't have any gold, silver or copper coins with me right now."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Your sister is very beautiful, how about giving it to me as a servant girl?"

Ah Qing was furious, he drew his sword and slashed at Gao Bufan, cursing: "Dirty Han people, dare to trick Amei, I will give you a knife!"

Gao Bufan stretched out his left hand, and easily squeezed Ah Qing's wrist. The latter was taken aback and tried to break free, but found that Gao Bufan's fingers were like iron hoops, and he couldn't break free at all. He couldn't help being terrified. It looked like a waste, but I didn't expect the strength to be so amazing.

Gao Bufan pushed A Qing's hand away lightly, but the hatchet was transferred to his hand, and he didn't know how he did it.Ah Qing's mood was changing, and at this moment he finally realized that he had encountered a hidden master, but then he thought about it, if the other party didn't have two brushes, how could he possibly save himself in the turbulent river.

Gao Bufan stretched out his fingers and scratched lightly on the blade of the hatchet, and said lightly: "It's quite sharp, but unfortunately it can only chop firewood, not people!" After finishing speaking, he casually threw it back to A Qing.

Ah Qing couldn't help but turn purple with anger, picked up the hatchet and slashed at it again, but Gao Bufan easily handled it, and couldn't hurt him at all.

Gao Bufan glanced at A Qing who was breathing like an old cow, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I'm just joking with you, I'm not interested in your sister." After speaking, he threw the hatchet back to A Qing again. celebrate.

Ah Qing became even angrier when he heard the words, and said sharply: "What do you mean, you think my younger sister is not good enough for you?"

Gao Bufan sweated secretly, shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, you are overthinking."

Ah Qing wanted to give Gao Bufan another shot, but he hesitated for a while, and gave up. After trying twice, he already understood that the opponent's martial arts were high enough to torture him completely, and if he tried again, he would just bring himself to humiliate himself.

"Where is my younger sister?" Ah Qing asked in a deep voice.

"do not know!"

Ah Qing suddenly showed anger, Gao Bufan frowned and said: "I really don't know, but you don't have to worry too much, your sister and the family members have all gone ashore, and I have also gone ashore, but I was washed up just to save you here."

Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry."

Gao Bufan said calmly: "Your temper is too violent."

Ah Qing said awkwardly: "My sister said the same thing about me, but I am like this, and I can't change it."

"Your name is Aqing, from Bai Miao?"

Ah Qing nodded and said, "That's right."

Gao Bufan asked curiously: "You Miao people don't have a surname?"

"Of course, my surname is Ganda."

"Hit Ah Qing?"

Ah Qing nodded, Gao Bufan smiled and said, "What a strange surname."

A Qing curled her lips and said, "What's so strange, I also think your Han people's names are strange."

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "It's true."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet. What's your name?" A Qing said.

Gao Bufan said indifferently: "My name is Gao Shiji."

Ah Qing unexpectedly said, "Gao Shiji? This name sounds familiar."

"Could it be that you have heard of my name?" Gao Bufan looked a little strange.

Ah Qing looked thoughtful, and suddenly blurted out: "I remembered, Xu Shiji, someone from Xu Shiji is attacking Liang Guo."

"Eh, you also know this?" Gao Bufan asked in surprise.

A Qing nodded and said, "Some time ago, my sister and I transported medicinal materials to Jiangling to sell. I heard from the local people that Gao Qi's army is attacking Liang's Xiangyang County. The general of the opponent's army is called Xu Shiji, which seems to be quite famous."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "That's right, Gao Qi has such a character, he is quite powerful."

"You are also very good, martial arts are very high, I am not your opponent!" A Qing said bluntly.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but laugh. Although this Ah Qing has a bad temper, he is also very pleasing to be straightforward.

At this time, the ground shook slightly again, Ah Qing's complexion changed drastically, and he subconsciously lay down on the ground.Gao Bufan sat next to each other calmly and said, "Don't panic, it's just an aftershock. This place didn't collapse when the earthquake was the most violent, and it won't collapse now."

Ah Qing was relieved when he heard the words. Since he was embarrassed and admired, he was not as calm as a Han scholar who was born and bred in the Hmong. He was ashamed and thrown to his grandma's house. Encountering the most severe one, I don’t know how many people will suffer.”

Gao Bufan sighed: "If the heavy rain doesn't stop, I think we will suffer."

At this time, the river water had already reached the vicinity of the crevice in the stone, and within ten centimeters it was about to touch the feet of the two of them. Seeing the roaring and roaring river water rushing under their noses, the terrifying scene would probably scare the peeing out of those who were less timid.
