Chapter 106 Identity
Yunxi nodded: "Okay, then I'll check it."
The distance was very close, allowing me to use my divine sense to scan the middle-aged man.
Yunxi's gaze fell on the man's chest, where a briefcase was clearly tied.
No wonder her face is so thin, but her upper body looks so bulky.
The driftwood was nothing special; it was just a piece of wood.
"He had a briefcase on his chest, very waterproof, containing a notebook filled with science and technology-related information, all seemingly neatly copied and organized, with names written at the back: Wei Lingyin, Shan Meiling, Chen Jingyi, Guo Chunlai, Chen Yiwei..."
As each name was read out, Shu Ran's gaze instantly changed.
Although none of the names sounded familiar, I hadn't read the novel for nothing, and I seemed to have guessed what was going on.
"Let's move the person inside first, and then we'll check the area to see if anyone else has fallen into the sea."
The treatment of middle-aged men has suddenly improved.
Yunxi moved the person inside, hesitated for a moment, then took off her clothes, without touching her briefcase, and casually took out the blanket next to her to cover the person.
The clothes that were taken off were then washed in the sea before being taken out and placed inside.
The returning ship instantly changed direction and headed towards the direction from which the middle-aged man had drifted.
By the way, I sent a message to Uncle Yu, telling him that if he sees anyone in the nearby sea, he should try his best to rescue them, but not to reveal anything, just to say that he is doing a good deed to save someone.
If you can save your own people, you can certainly save the enemy as well.
Shu Ran considered it very carefully.
Not long after, they encountered another person clinging to a plank floating in the sea.
There were traces of blood all around, and one of the arms draped over the wooden plank appeared to have been wounded by a gun.
The person had already passed out, unlike the previous one, who was uninjured but had simply been floating in the sea and had caught a chill.
The weather was cold, and coupled with excessive blood loss, the young man who was rescued this time had a pale, bluish complexion.
"died?"
After exiting the cockpit, Shu Ran peeked out.
"No, but it will be soon."
After feeding him a pill, and just as he was about to use a hand seal to dry the clothes on the person, he sensed that the middle-aged man who had been rescued first was about to wake up.
"The person inside will wake up in a little while."
Shu Ran didn't hesitate: "Stop using magic spells, just take off your clothes! Anyway, the inner one is already off, and there's a blanket so you won't get cold."
Stopping her hand gestures, Yunxi stopped worrying and simply helped the person up, moved them inside, and manually took off their wet clothes.
He then took out another blanket and covered the person with it before continuing to treat the gunshot wound on his arm.
"My bag?"
Just as the bandage was finished, Guo Zilin woke up and immediately reached for the thing in his arms.
The items are still there, but the clothes are gone.
He wrapped his briefcase close to his body, using two layers of waterproof material, to protect it from falling into the sea.
"We didn't touch your bag, we just took off your wet clothes."
It wasn't touched, but Yunxi had already read most of what was written inside.
Hearing the sounds inside, Shu Ran stopped the boat.
"Is he awake?"
He held the bag to his chest with one hand, and instinctively wrapped the blanket tightly with the other, leaving only his head sticking out.
"Thank you both for your help. May I ask your names?"
Guo Zilin was somewhat wary.
"Are you from the Xia Kingdom?"
Shu Ran sat down cross-legged and asked.
"it's me……"
"That's fine," Shu Ran interrupted Guo Zilin, "Do you recognize the people next to you? They were rescued not far from you."
Only then did she notice that there was another person besides Yunxi.
"Jing'an?"
Guo Zilin cried out excitedly, his eyes filled with the joy of seeing trustworthy people, "How is he? Please, both of you, save him. He is my sister's only child."
Yunxi explained, "I just finished treating my wound. If I don't have a fever, I should wake up tonight."
"Thank you! Could you two do me a favor? Could you check if there are any other people around where we were found?"
Seemingly realizing that his request was a bit excessive, Guo Zilin pulled up the blanket, took off the jade pendant he had worn since childhood, and quietly handed the pendant to Yun Xi next to him.
"This is my gift of gratitude. After we get home safely, there will be other generous gifts to present."
After glancing at Shu Ran, Yun Xi pushed the jade pendant back. It was a dark-colored jade pendant with the character "麟" (lin) faintly engraved on the back. The longer it was worn, the more lustrous and smooth its texture became.
"No need, it's just a small favor. We're all from Xia, so it's good to help each other when we're traveling."
Shu Ran refused. If her guess was correct, she would definitely send the person back to China safely.
They weren't wearing clothes, but the briefcase wrapped around their bodies showed no signs of being tampered with because of its unusual closure, which made Guo Zilin lower his guard a little.
Moreover, he had a nephew with him. Although he was injured, he would be able to protect himself once he woke up.
Seeing Guo Zilin's restrained movements wrapped in the blanket, Shu Ran smiled and went out to continue strolling around the area.
After searching the area, they found no third living person.
As darkness fell, Shu Ran decided to return to her small house.
He went back into the cabin and explained the situation: "We haven't found anyone. It's getting dark, and I have to head back. Don't worry, I'll arrange for people to continue the search. What are the characteristics of the person you're looking for?"
He lowered his head sadly, but upon hearing the rest, Guo Zilin still clung to a sliver of hope: "Thank you, there are four more people: a middle-aged woman with long hair; and three young men, all around 1.8 meters tall."
That's a pretty broad range, huh? Shu Ran didn't say anything, just nodded to show she understood.
On the way back, Shu Ran received a message from Uncle Yu that he had rescued three people.
None of the three people had woken up, and all of them had injuries: bruises, gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and frostbite. One was a middle-aged woman with long hair, who was 1.65 meters tall; the other was two young men, one 1.8 meters tall and the other 1.7 meters tall.
After a moment of silence, Shu Ran instructed Uncle Yu to separate the people and keep them from knowing of each other's existence, thus restricting their movements and communication with the outside world.
Shu Ran preferred to wait until the other person woke up before discussing anything, just in case.
When they returned to shore, Shu Xiang had not yet arrived. He settled the two of them in the bedroom, while Shu Ran and Yun Xi chose to spend the night in the living room.
They brought in the seafood that had been left outside, and luckily one bucket was left behind, which confirmed the two men's story about coming to gather seafood.
Unexpectedly, there were other people who only built one bedroom.
Before long, Shu Xiang arrived, and the plane landed on the smooth road nearby.
"Master! I'm late."
The night was as dark as ink. Shu Ran didn't mind being half an hour late and waved her hand, saying, "It's alright, I'm not leaving yet! There was an emergency; I saved a few people. I need to confirm their identities before deciding what to do next."
