Chapter 286: Escape from death and learn to swim

Aunt Xiaohui's arrangement, I have to say that it is still very predictable. The reunion dinner of Xiao Yao's family was successfully completed at noon on August 16.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother went back to the countryside directly after lunch, and Xiao Yao also rode back to school after a short break. This Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Yao had a busy and fulfilling life.

Huang Li, who was bored at home after the holiday, came to school early after lunch.

Those who are close to home have not come, and those who are far away have not arrived. She was lying on the bed in the bedroom alone and reading a book, but her heart had already flown to Zhou Zhen, she couldn't imagine what Xiao Yao was doing at this time, was he leaving Zhou Zhen and on the way back?

According to calculations, he should be on the shuttle bus back to the transit city now, rush back to the provincial capital overnight in the evening, and arrive at school tomorrow morning, there should be no problem.

When Huang Li was flying out of the dormitory, secretly thinking about it, missing Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao had returned to school on the eve of dinner after more than three hours of hard riding.

Xiao Yao's swimming skills were only learned by himself after he escaped death several times. More than ten years ago, when he was seven or eight years old, he was still in primary school in the provincial capital and went to the countryside to play during the summer vacation.

Children in the countryside like to play in the pond in summer.

Xiao Yao just arrived in the countryside and didn't dare to go into the water, so he watched the children as big as him on the shore, frolicking in the water, and he was envious in his heart.

After a long time, Xiao Yao couldn't help but be eager to try. In his opinion, those children who are not as tall as him can show their heads in the water, and they must be able to reach the bottom of the water.

Just thought of it, Xiao Yao couldn't bear it, touched the pond along the shore, and stood on the cold mud at the bottom of the pond, Xiao Yao was very comfortable, he didn't do anything, and continued to go deep into the middle of the pond.

But how did he know that this pond has to pick up seedlings and mud every year, digging deep every year, and the middle is at least more than two meters deep.

Seedling mud was the best fertilizer used for rice seedlings at that time.

After a year of soaking in flowing water, the soil at the bottom of the pond is delicate and fertile, and every winter, when the farm work is not busy, the production team will drain the ponds one by one, catch the fish and distribute them to each farmer, and pick the top layer of mud to dry in the field where the seedlings are prepared.

Xiao Yao's step, I don't know the depth, he won't be called Xiao Yao soon. Directly change the surname to Shen, and the name will be in the end. He didn't have time to pounce a few times before he sank to the bottom of the pond.

Sanguitou, who was accustomed to rice in the rice field on the shore, was a distant uncle of Xiao Yao, because he had three edges and corners on his head, everyone gave him the nickname Sanguitou. He watched Xiao Yao go into the water, but he didn't care at the time, he didn't know that Xiao Yao couldn't swim.

But he was wrong, there was no trace of Xiao Yao on the shore or in the water, and he panicked. He threw down the rice handle in his hand, ran directly into the pond, dived under the water, touched Xiao Yao, who had already drunk enough water, and hugged him up.

In rural areas, children often drown, and everyone has accumulated a certain amount of experience in rescuing drowning people.

Xiao Yao's first feeling when he was rescued was that his mouth was being pumped back and forth by three turns. He spat out several mouthfuls of water in a row, loudly threatening:

"Three turns, you dare to beat me? You let me down and see who can beat whom?"

Although Xiao Yao said that he had been practicing Xingyi Quan for several years at that time, after all, he was a small person. In the arms of a rural guy, he couldn't break free at all.

"You little thing, I know your shaft, I don't beat you, how can you wake up? Save your life, and you still have to fight with me?"

The nephew called him by his nickname, committed his taboo, turned his head three times and was so angry that he threw Xiao Yao into the paddy field that had just finished cutting the rice, Xiao Yao was like a mud monkey, rolling and getting up.

"If it weren't for the fear that you would die here, your father would have skinned us, and I wouldn't have bothered to care about you. ”

"Three turns, you are really, what do you have to worry about with a child? Erxiazi, you can't tread water, don't go into the pond in the future, the pond here is very deep, you can't hit it to the end. ”

Seeing that he was at a loss, Xiao Yao angrily took the road away.

What annoys Xiao Yao the most is that these uncles and aunts in the countryside call him Erxiazi all day long. Xiao's father has bad eyes, and Xiao's mother often calls him blind. His eyes are very good, and people call him Erxiazi, and he also listens to him as a second blind man.

Xiao Yao's second drowning was also at noon in the countryside. He took advantage of everyone's lunch break, secretly ran to a water chestnut pond, stepped on the waist basin placed by the pond, and was about to pick water chestnuts. Who knew that the center of gravity of the waist basin was difficult to grasp, and before reaching the middle of the pond, the waist basin turned upside down.

Originally, the first time he sat in the waist basin, Xiao Yao was frightened, and this time he was accurately buckled under the waist basin, and Xiao Yao, who reached the bottom of the mud in the pond, squatted with his feet, and his whole head rushed out of the water.

"Bang"

The top of Xiao Yao's head hit the inverted waist pelvic floor, and he was bounced back into the water again, and after a few repetitions, he learned to rush out of the water and inhale. After a few breaths of fresh air, Xiao Yao, who was gradually sobering up, grabbed the edge of the waist basin, buried his head in the water, and dived out to the periphery of the waist basin.

The waist basin that was buckled upside down in the water was very stable, and Xiao Yao struggled to climb up to the waist pelvic floor. He wanted to shout for help, but he was afraid of being scolded, and when he saw that he was not far from the shore, he jumped towards the shore after taking a few breaths in a row.

The waist basin under his feet, when Xiao Yao jumped up, shook back, and his strength was weakened by half, Xiao Yao did not land safely. He danced his limbs desperately, and finally grabbed the wild grass on the shore and struggled to get ashore, and he didn't care about the waist basin that was upside down in the water, and saw that there was no one around, and he fled.

This distress only let Xiao Yao know that when he sank to the bottom of the water, he could escape out of the water to breathe, and finally let him learn to swim in a triangular pond in the provincial capital.

This triangular pond, in the southeast corner of the range, is across the road from the bus factory. Xiao Yao and his classmates on summer vacation often come here to play in the water to cool off after picking up bullets at the shooting range.

The pond is not deep, and they can show their heads when they stand in the water. It was here that Xiao Yao learned dog planing, breaststroke, backswimming and diving. After that, as long as he encountered rivers and lakes, he couldn't help but swim.

It was also after this that his water nature became better and better, and the Yangtze River, Chaohu Lake, Yellow River, and the sea all left him swimming. It also laid a solid foundation for him to save people in Baogong Lake in the future.

"Xiao Yao, don't you come up soon, you won't look for me when you come back, you really treat me as air?"

Xiao Yao, who was lying comfortably in the water with his back facing the sky, was startled by the shouts on the shore. When he looked up, he saw Huang Li standing on the shore, her little mouth pouting high. She came here to wash her clothes and saw Xiao Yao in the water, so don't talk about the grievances.

"Turn around, I'll take my pants. ”

Feelings Xiao Yao got into the water and stripped himself naked, Huang Li saw the wet pants at a glance, just on the shore not far from her, and there was a pair of dry shorts next to her. She walked over and grabbed her pants and threw them at Xiao Yao in the water.

"It's shameless, I don't wear a pair of pants. ”

After Huang Li finished speaking, she blushed and turned her back to Xiao Yao in the water. Xiao Yao put on shorts in the water, paddled to the shore in a freestyle position, and propped up the stone dam on the shore with both hands, and rushed out of the water.

"I'm shameless? There's no one here, it's more comfortable to swim if you strip naked, who told you to come and not leave, and still stand on the side to watch. ”

Huang Li turned around and wanted to scold Xiao Yao, but as soon as she turned around, she was ashamed of herself.
