Chapter 613 Entering the sea

"That's easy..." The skinny monkey thought for a moment and took out a dagger, tearing the hem of his clothes into long strips, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll tie them together with this strip of cloth in a while. As long as I don't sink, Your Majesty will definitely not sink."

Yuan Qi looked at the thin monkey's actions and said, "It's indeed a good idea. It's a pity that when I got off the boat just now, I thought the cloak was cumbersome. Otherwise, I could tear it into ropes now."

"You must be very cold, right?" Zhou Chang was able to talk about this topic openly. "It's a pity that my clothes are all wet, otherwise I could have put one on you."

"It's cold..." Yuan Qi admitted generously without any hesitation, and smiled again, although the smile was stiff due to the cold, "But what can I do? I can only hold on. I have to hold on even more when we are in the water, otherwise I will either drown or freeze to death."

The skinny monkey moved quickly and had already pulled the rope out.

So the three of them tied ropes around each other's arms, Zhou Chang in the middle, Yuan Qi and Shouhou on both sides.

Zhou Chang was caught in the middle, and his fear was not reduced at all. He could only force himself to joke: "Now we are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. We may not be born on the same day, but we can die on the same day."

Because of the chattering of teeth, the words "same year, same month, same day" made their teeth click.

Yuan Qi pursed his lips and didn't respond. He went on to instruct the skinny monkey: "Once the boat sinks, you and I will float out holding onto the plank. You are strong, so hold the prince more. Don't struggle after entering the water. If the prince is afraid of struggling, don't force him. Don't use too much force in the water, and conserve your strength."

"Yes." The skinny monkey still only answered with one word, and no emotion could be heard.

The more Zhou Chang listened, the more worried he became: "Do you know where we are? Where will we drift to after entering the water?"

Yuan Qi pondered for a moment, then looked ahead: "According to the direction of the water flow, if we continue drifting along, we should reach the East China Sea."

"What happens after we reach the East China Sea?" Zhou Chang felt like an idiot.

Yuan Qi replied: "When you reach the East China Sea, when you can see the shore, you should swim towards it with all your strength. You should save your strength for that time."

"What if I can't see the shore?" Zhou Chang asked another stupid question.

Yuan Qi's eyes narrowed, his teeth chattering with coldness: "Then let's leave it to fate."

silence.

Plus it was completely freezing cold.

Only the silver moonlight sprinkled on the dark river water, creating rippling waves.

After a while, the water in the pleasure boat was above the knees.

Yuan Qi's clear voice floated over: "Let's go."

The skinny monkey held the wooden board with his left hand and put his right arm around Zhou Chang's left arm.

Zhou Chang was obviously not ready yet. He held on to his wooden board tightly, not knowing how to move.

Yuan Qi gently held Zhou Chang's right arm with his left hand on the other side.

The moment their arms intertwined, Zhou Chang's heart trembled.

The two of them had never been so close and intimate before.

I was distracted when I heard the skinny monkey next to me shouting, "If I can survive, I will eat roast chicken every day. Let's go..."

As soon as the words "let's go" came out.

Zhou Chang's body was dragged into the dark rainfall in front of him, and the freezing cold river water covered his whole body again.

Yuan Qi just said that there is no need to exert any effort and just drift with the current.

After entering the water, Zhou Chang had only his hands, which still had the strength to cling to the wooden board. His entire body was frozen and unconscious, so he couldn't even struggle.

The three of them were like three leaves tied together, floating on the surface of the Jinmin River on a cold night.

None of the three spoke, and they didn't have the energy to speak.

Gradually, Zhou Chang only had the strength to breathe, and his consciousness began to blur.

From time to time, wind and waves came and sank the three people. Zhou Chang vaguely felt the people on both sides trying to pull her up.

When I choke on water, I cough instinctively. If I don’t have the strength to cough, I just swallow it down. I float up and down, and wake up and down…

I don’t know how long I have been drifting, and I don’t know how long it will continue to drift.

The wind and waves seemed to be dying down, and the water seemed to be beginning to calm down.

Zhou Chang's consciousness gradually faded. He used his last bit of strength to look around, but there was nothing in sight except endless water.

There is no land and no shore, no boat and no direction.

There is nothing, nothing but the vast river.

"Pah, pah..." At this time, the skinny monkey made a noise nearby.

Zhou Chang turned his head.

The skinny monkey's head was tilted on the wooden board. When he saw Zhou Chang looking at him, he seemed to want to smile, but his cheeks had long been frozen. Instead, his mouth was still blowing bubbles, and his cracked lips trembled as he uttered a weak voice: "The water has become salty, salty..."

"Okay, hehe..." Zhou Chang tried to squeeze out a few more words from his throat, but all the "Okay" he uttered turned out to be "hehe".

"Wang...we...are really at the sea..." The skinny monkey struggled but still wanted to say a few more words.

Zhou Chang found it difficult to speak and could only blink his eyes hard in response.

The skinny monkey saw the blink and wanted to smile in response, but he couldn't smile even though he grinned.

Zhou Chang suddenly remembered that Yuan Qi on the other side seemed to have not moved for a long time, so he turned his head abruptly.

The trembling heart calmed down in an instant. Yuan Qi was fine. Not only was he fine, he could even look up at the moon in the night sky.

The moon was reflected in her bright eyes, her fair skin was almost transparent, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks covered by the moonlight, as if she was a fairy descending from the earth...

Zhou Chang didn't know if he was dazzled or having hallucinations.

The next second, Yuan Qi turned his head and smiled brightly.

The smile instantly illuminated the entire dark water surface, illuminated the night sky, and illuminated the world.

Zhou Chang was stunned and couldn't believe it. After another blink, Yuan Qi's eyes slowly closed, and with a "bang" they fell on the wooden board in front of him.

"Yuan Qi..." Zhou Chang opened his mouth, but his voice was drowned by the waves.

Unable to make a sound, he wanted to move his arms to confirm whether Yuan Qi was alive or dead, but his arms could not move at all.

No matter how anxious I am, it's of no use.

Zhou Chang instantly lost all hope, and the little bit of clarity of consciousness he had left began to fade.

In the blur, Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness seemed to struggle to hold on again.

The two of them stared at Yuan Qi's face with the same gaze, using up their last bit of strength to try to engrave that face into their souls.

In this way, if there is an afterlife, I will never forget it.

In the corner of my eye, the two men's tied arms were still tightly pressed together. Both of their hands had lost feeling, but they were still holding on to the wooden board tightly without letting go.

"If we tie them together and die like this, will they never separate after death?"

It's no longer clear who is speaking.

"If that's the case, that's great."

The final soliloquy.

With close friends, a lover, and the closest people around me, what more could I ask for if I died like this?
