0323 Treading water

The water in the trap was accumulating more and more, and in the blink of an eye, the water had reached Juanjuan's knees.

That's not all, the flood water that flowed down from the ground, along the perimeter of the trap, was like a waterfall flying from above, and kept pouring around Juanjuan's body, so that she couldn't open both of her eyes.

The water splashed and rattled constantly.

This time, Juanjuan's mood became more and more anxious, she shouted loudly, but not to mention that she was staying in the trap, the sound was not easy to come out, even if she was not in the trap, just the splash of water drowned out her voice. Besides, the place where Gao Haiqing lived was originally the most remote place in the village.

Juanjuan thought to herself, at this time, she just shouted loudly, and it was impossible for Gao Haiqing above to come over to save him, because he was not as good as her now, but his hands and feet were tied by her with ropes, and Juanjuan even regretted it in her heart, she shouldn't have tied him so strong at that time.

Later, when Juanjuan saw that there was no movement above, she didn't report any fantasies, and her two hands kept shaking back and forth in front of her eyes, trying not to let the splashes splash into her mouth.

At this time, the water on the ground had not yet submerged Gao Haiqing's entire body for the time being. However, after all, he was lying on the ground, and it would not be long before the water would cover his entire body, and worse, his hands and feet could not move. Gao Haiqing was in despair.

Fortunately, the speed of the flood here is not very fast, but it is increasing little by little.

Gao Haiqing is still young, and his body has some strength. He thought, it is not enough to just lie down and wait for death, he must find a way, and now the shouting is no longer heard, so he gritted his teeth, held his breath, turned around suddenly, his face was facing the ground, and with all his strength, he pressed his head on the ground, and he had to find a way to sit up, so that he could breathe for a while.

Gao Haiqing pressed hard, and finally, his upper body straightened, and he knelt on the ground, panting heavily......

Gao Haiqing knelt on the ground, thinking to himself, it would be better if he could stand up, he worked hard, and after a long time, he didn't stand up. After all, his body was tied with ropes, and it was not so easy to stand up, not to mention, he was in the water.

At this time, the water in the trap had reached Juanjuan's chest, and Juanjuan kept scratching at the wall of the trap with both hands, but it was still useless.

After a while, the water had reached Juanjuan's neck.

In this way, Juanjuan was even more anxious, and her instinct to survive made her desperately paddle in the water with both hands.

Since the water inside the trap was already very high, gradually, Juanjuan's feet began to stand unsteadily in the water, and her body began to shake slightly with buoyancy in the water. If you want to climb up, it's even harder.

…… Suddenly, Juanjuan remembered that year, when her mother took her to play in Beidaihe, didn't she learn to tread water with Liu Chunjiang?

Thinking of this, Juanjuan couldn't take care of anything, she tried hard to recall the essentials of treading water that Liu Chunjiang taught her back then, and she really began to try to tread water in the way that Liu Chunjiang taught her back then.

At first, Juanjuan was a little anxious, her treading of water was a little too fast, although her body could float a little, but soon, her body still had to fall.

Juanjuan knew that it would not work like this, so she forced herself not to worry, and her movements began to slow down.

Not to mention, when Juanjuan's hands and feet slowed down in the water and began to swing up and down in the water rhythmically, her body stopped sinking, and she really floated in the water.

At this critical juncture, as long as you can tread water, at least temporarily let your head out of the water, so that you can breathe.

Suddenly, Juanjuan had confidence in herself.

The water inside the trap is getting higher and higher, and Juanjuan's body is floating on the water, and with her two hands, she is almost reaching the edge of the trap.

Juanjuan tentatively hoped that she would be able to get out of the trap by now.

The water level was higher, and at this time, the water in the trap was almost level with the ground.

Juanjuan's eyes were already fully open. She opened her eyes wide and shouted as she looked around.

However, since it was dark and there were no lights, I couldn't see anything around me.

The water surface increased again, and in this way, Juanjuan also relied on the buoyancy of the water surface to climb from the trap to the ground.

"Help...... Come and save me......"

Juanjuan knew that this was Gao Haiqing's cry for help.

She hesitated for a moment and scolded him:

"Well, you also have times when you ask for help? Tell you, this is your retribution for doing bad things. ”

For Gao Haiqing, who deceived her into this remote village, Juanjuan certainly hated him to the core.

“…… Right...... Sorry, yes...... Am I wrong...... This is indeed retribution...... I...... I really really damn it...... I ......" Gao Haiqing's voice suddenly became low, as if he felt remorse for the crime he had committed.

Suddenly, as soon as he said this, Gao Haiqing seemed to be choked by the water, and he coughed violently.

Juanjuan is a girl after all, she knows that Gao Haiqing can't move at this time, and it must be very dangerous.

Thinking of this, she didn't think much about it, so she quickly stretched out her hands forward, and asked loudly while touching them:

"You...... Where are you?"

"That's it...... Here it is, come and save me...... Water...... The water has ...... Already ......"

Although Juanjuan gritted her teeth with hatred for Gao Haiqing, she knew that Gao Haiqing's current body was tied by her with a rope, and if she didn't save him, he would be drowned in less than two minutes.

Thinking of this, Juanjuan ran desperately towards Gao Haiqing's voice in the water.

The water splashed incessantly. By the time Juanjuan ran to Gao Haiqing's side, the water was already calf high.

Fortunately, Gao Haiqing's height is still relatively tall, and he is sitting on the ground again, tilting his head, and his chin will not be flooded for a while.

Juanjuan came to his side and began to touch the darkness and untie the rope for him.

Because Gao Haiqing's hands were tied backwards, and at this time, his two hands were soaking in the water, and it was dark, so Juanjuan untied it for a long time, but it still didn't untie it.

"Find ...... I can't find the head of the rope......" Juanjuan was groping in the water, in fact, she knew in her heart that she had tied a dead knot to him at that time, and it was not easy to untie it at all.

"You...... You let me stand up first and then talk about it......" Gao Haiqing couldn't untie the rope for a long time, and he was even more anxious.

Juanjuan then remembered that she stood up first, and then, hugged Gao Haiqing's back from behind, and lifted Gao Haiqing up hard.

Although Gao Haiqing's body was very heavy, because he was in the water, he had some buoyancy, and Juanjuan used all his strength, finally, his body stood upright.

Juanjuan continued to untie the rope for him.

It took a long time, and in the end, Gao Haiqing's hands were finally untied.

"Untie the ......," Juanjuan cried out happily.

Gao Haiqing also smiled. He rubbed his sore arm twice, and he didn't bother to let Juanjuan relieve him, so he began to bend down and began to untie the rope on his foot.

Soon, the rope was untied.

At this time, the water surface had reached Juanjuan's waist.

"How are we going to get out? Can't you leave the courtyard door open?" asked Juanjuan.

Gao Haiqing smiled bitterly, and he said:

"Well, it's all this time, where can we find the key? Besides, even if we go out, isn't it the same?"

Think about it too. Juanjuan stopped talking.

"That'...... Do you know how to swim?" asked Juanjuan.

Gao Haiqing shook his head and said dejectedly:

"- Swimming? If only I would. …… By the way, you must swim, or you will be in the trap, ...... early It has long been flooded...... drowned ......" Speaking of this, Gao Haiqing probably felt a little ashamed, and he stopped talking.

The water was higher, and at this time, the two of them supported each other, and could only wait for the flood water to increase little by little.

"Oops......"

Just when the two of them were standing in the water at a loss, almost desperate, at this time, they suddenly heard Gao Haiqing let out an exclamation.

It turned out that I don't know what it was, and hit him hard in the back.

"Great, this ...... This is a car tire in my yard......" Gao Haiqing touched back, suddenly remembered, and cried out in surprise......

- Tires?...... That's just right...... Go up there. Juanjuan's eyes lit up, although she couldn't see anything clearly at this time, she was still very happy. Gao Haiqing hesitated for a moment and said to Juanjuan:

"Or are you ...... You go up. I'll just grab a side. Gao Haiqing was polite.

"Alright, you can go up quickly. You can't swim, I'll tread water. Juanjuan refused to go up.

Gao Haiqing was genuinely moved by Juanjuan, he snorted, and continued:

“…… Why don't we go up together?"

"How's that going to happen? Don't let it go, you see, the water is up to your neck, so you better go up." I'm fine. ”

Gao Haiqing thought about it for a while, a tire can indeed only accommodate one person, and besides, time waits for no one. So, he stopped pushing, lifted the tire high with his hands, and drilled his head into the tire from underneath. Of course, he also held Juanjuan's hand with his hand, and the two of them attached to the tire together.

Gao Haiqing let out a long breath. Now, the two of them are finally not afraid of the rising water level for the time being.
