Ren Yaoqi didn't have time to react at this time, because the ship suddenly tilted to one side, and the screams one after another could almost make people deaf. She only felt a whirlwind, Xiao Jingxi pulled her and rolled to the ground. On the other hand, he avoided the short and other heavy objects that slid over as the hull tilted.
A vase that was originally placed in the corner was smashed, and the fragments flew towards the place where the two were. Ren Yaoqi buried his head on the chest of the person on him, and the originally light medicinal fragrance suddenly became strong, Ren Yaoqi Yao Qi was a little absent-minded until she heard a light hum, and a drop of warm liquid splashed on her cheek, scalding her.
Immediately raised his eyes, his eyes just fell on the side neck of the person in front of him, a bloodstain fell on the top, not too deep but a little shocking, the wound was bleeding out, it should be scratched by the splashing porcelain shards .
"Are you injured?" Xiao Jingxi looked down at her and asked.
Although the hull was still unstable, they had already avoided an open area, and there were no debris around.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'm fine, you're bleeding..."
Xiao Jingxi stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit up, with a gentle smile that seemed to comfort him: "It's okay."
"What's going on?" Xiao Jinglin, who was standing not far from the window lattice, asked coldly.
Xiao Jinglin's skills are very good, and when Xiao Jingxi opened the Ren Yao period, she has also steadily avoided it. The maids serving on the boat also hid in the corner, except for two or three being hit by things, no one was seriously injured.
The arc of the ship's swaying has gradually diminished. Xiao Jingxi stood up and looked out of the ship, frowning slightly: "Someone used explosives."
Ren Yaoqi also got up, because the boat was still a little unstable, Xiao Jingxi subconsciously gave her a hand, and when he touched his hand, he felt that something was wrong, but he let go of his hand when he stood firm.
Ren Yaoqi pretended to look casually at He Mian, but he couldn't help but frown.
Their big boat was parked not far from the end, so it was also close to the dragon boat. And those dragon boats were basically flipped over, and even two or three near the end were blown up or broken. The water was full of driftwood and thumping people. The faint red can guess that someone was injured, and I don't know if anyone was killed.
Although their big ship was affected, it was fortunate that there was no danger, but the high screams and calls for help of the young masters and ladies on the next floor could still be heard.
The people on the high platform also made a mess, and the scene was chaotic.
The big ship they were in was not far from the shore, and someone had already put down the board below, and the frightened young masters and ladies hurriedly wanted to go ashore because of fear. Occasionally, there is the sound of someone falling into the water.
Brothers and sisters Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin were very quiet, they didn't want to get off the boat in a hurry, they just looked at the chaos outside and didn't know what they were thinking.
Ren Yaoqi was just frightened just now, and now that he calmed down, he couldn't help but think carefully about what was going on here today.
She had never seen a dragon boat race in her last life, and she had no memory of such a sudden state of affairs in a dragon boat race in any year.
Seeing the overturned dragon boat on the river, Ren Yaoqi was very surprised.
The movement was so loud that gunpowder was used, but it was only the dragon boat that suffered.
Ren Yaoqi knew that although the dragon boats belonged to each family in name, the people who were sitting on the boat and rowing hard were all entourages sent by each family or simply young and middle-aged laborers who paid for them.
These masters of famous families may participate in any ice game on a whim, which is elegant, but it is impossible for anyone to participate in the dragon boat race.
If there is any conspiracy in today's incident, then these explosives should be placed on the high platform of the case or on the big ship they are on. What are the benefits of frying a dragon boat
Ren Yaoqi was looking down and pondering when a figure flashed in from outside. Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes and saw that it was an entourage beside Xiao Jingxi he had seen before.
Seeing the mess in the boat, the man didn't see any anxious and worried expression on his face, and without changing his face, he came to Xiao Jingxi's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ren Yaoqi was very close to Xiao Jingxi, but he only heard the words "wang ye", "arrangement" and so on.
Xiao Jinglin also looked over and didn't ask a question.
Xiao Jingxi nodded after listening to the report of the entourage. After a moment of indifference, he said to Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, "I need to go down and deal with some things, you all disembark with me."
Xiao Jinglin nodded, Ren Yaoqi naturally had no objection.
Dongsheng was also waiting outside, seeing the masters coming out and busy walking with the other entourage to clear the way. Although the boat is still a little ups and downs, a few people walk on it without any problems.
The few of them didn't go to the two boards that others squeezed ashore, but from the side facing the river, they got on the painting boat that had been parked on the side of the boat at some point.
The painting boat went a little farther to avoid the chaotic crowd by the river before starting to dock.
While sitting on the painting boat, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at the river again. There were already boats rowing over to help rescue those who fell into the water and were injured, but Ren Yaoqi's eyes stayed on those who had left The hull of the boat floated up and down on several colorful dragon heads on the river, and suddenly there was a movement in my heart.
However, she didn't say anything, she just turned her head nonchalantly, and when she didn't want to look away, she saw Xiao Jingxi's thoughtful gaze. Xiao Jingxi met her gaze, smiled slightly, then looked away, and spoke to Xiao Jinglin in a low voice.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him, and finally lowered his head.
When they got ashore, people from the Yanbei Palace were already waiting on the shore, and when they saw Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin, they hurried over to greet them.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, then looked at Ren Yaoqi, and said with a smile, "It's a little messy here, you might as well go back to the manor first, and I'll have someone take you back."
Xiao Jinglin thought about it for a while, but shook her head and said, "I'll go to see your father with you." She looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Yaoqi, let's have someone take you home."
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "If you have something to do, go to work. My grandmother is still on the case over there. I'm going to say hello to her, so as not to worry about her old man. Today, the Ren family also has a carriage coming, and I will go back with my family. That's right, don't worry about me."
Watching the brothers and sisters Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin walk away, Ren Yaoqi nodded to Dongsheng who stayed to see her off: "Let's go see your grandmother."
Mr. Rong was really worried about Ren Yaoqi, and waited by the bank with a maid in person. When she saw Ren Yaoqi appearing, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, holding her hand and looking at her: "You didn't get on the boat, right? I'll let Chu Chu go. I'm looking for you on the boat." Chu Chu is the maid who came with Rong's, she's not too young, she knows how to punch.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I'm fine." She turned around and found that Dong Sheng, who sent her over, had quietly retreated, presumably because she felt shameless to meet the old master.
Rong Shi brought two maids over today, and seeing that Ren Yaoqi was safe, he wanted to wait for Chu Chu to return and leave. Ren Yaoqi looked at the high platform not far away. Although some people had already left, there were still some patriarchs who didn't leave, helping Prince Li's mansion and Su's family to arrange the scene.
At this time, Xiangqin, the maid next to Ren Yaohua, came looking for him: "Miss Fifth, you're fine, Miss Three is looking for you everywhere. The Ren family's carriage is going back."
Rong said, "In that case, you can go back with your grandmother and the others."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment because of something in his heart, then nodded and replied: "Grandma, go back too, I have to stay in Yunyang City for a few days, and when I have time, I will go to see you and grandfather with my sister."
