Chapter 69: Overboard
In the east of the inner city of Bianliang, there is a Guanyin Temple near the old Song Gate, on the west side of the Guanyin Temple, there is a bridge of Guanyin Temple that is not too big, and the water flow of the Bianhe River under the bridge is quite rapid.
It is the spring of March, and the spring flowers are blooming. On both sides of the Bianhe River, the willows are swaying, the new green branches are full of branches, and the willow branches hang leisurely at the water's edge. The time has passed, and the time has not yet arrived, approaching dusk, the afterglow of the sunset in the distance slanted on the water, shining with sparkling waves, lining the quiet and peaceful Guanyin Temple by the bridge, revealing a holy light.
At this time, it was almost dinner time, there were not many pedestrians on the Guanyin Yuan Bridge, a handsome man on the bridge leaned on the stone bridge railing as if waiting for someone, a gust of breeze blew, gently raised the person's sideburns, and the air was full of the fragrance of grass and trees. The man took a deep breath, squinted his eyes pleasantly, and put his hand on his forehead to look into the distance.
Helplessly, looking left and right, there was still no trace of the person he was waiting for, and a melancholy look suddenly appeared on this person's face, and he secretly thought in his heart, I don't know if the message left by Zaojiazi Lane yesterday has been brought to Ah Yan, and Ah Yan doesn't know if he wants to come today.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile, this appointment has not yet arrived, Ah Yan has not come yet, he is just anxious to come early, and he is thinking about it here at this time.
The man shook his head after laughing and looked casually under the bridge, five or six boys running and laughing on the shore, but he remembered the scene of playing with his brother in his hometown when he was a child, but now that his brother has passed away, he will go to the west the day after tomorrow to pay his life's wishes, and the current situation is far from his carefree childhood.
He sighed slightly, thinking that he didn't have much nostalgia for Bianliang, but now because of that person, there was a little more sorrow and sentimentality when he parted.
The man stared at the shore in a daze, but heard an exclamation and a cry of confusion from below.
At this time, because it was the spring solstice, the climate was warmer, and the Bianhe River, which was frozen, had already melted, and the snow in the upper reaches of the Bianhe River also melted, causing the Bianhe River to flow rapidly, and if you accidentally stumble, the situation is quite dangerous.
The boy who fell into the water because of the things he was playing with, but when he went to pick it up, he accidentally slipped into the water because of the weakness of his calves, and he was about to be swallowed up by the raging river.
When the man on the bridge saw this, he was so anxious that he couldn't help but run a few steps down the stone bridge to the shore, completely forgetting that he didn't know the nature of water, and threw himself into the water to catch the boy.
As soon as the boy fell into the water, he was choked by the rushing water in his mouth and nose, and his feet fluttered, but gradually began to sink.
As soon as the man on the bridge entered the water, he remembered that he didn't know how to swim at all, but fortunately, this person practiced martial arts, and he had seen others swim in the water on weekdays, and he had a little knowledge, and when his head and face touched the water, he pursed his mouth and closed his breath, but he quickly grabbed the boy's clothes in his hand and grabbed it.
The boy who fell into the water was choked into his throat by a mouthful of water at this time, and his eyes were black and fainted, and the man who rescued the man tried his best to hold his breath so that the two of them would not sink, and he held the boy on the surface of the water with both hands.
The rest of the boys on the shore cried together, and the clever child turned around and ran towards the Guanyin Courtyard, to find the mother of the boy who fell into the water, and someone cried to save people, although there were passers-by who saw this situation, they did not dare to rush into the water, and could only help to call people to rescue.
At this time, another person came to the bridge, saw everyone on the shore calling for help, and then looked at the two people floating and sinking in the water of the Bianhe River, and then understood what was happening, and connected the dots under his feet, and jumped on the bridge railing with his toes, and drew an arc in the air like a flying fish, and entered the water lightly.
As soon as the man entered the water, he paddled with both arms and kicked the water hard, and soon came to the two people in the water, one big and one small, and the man who had gone into the water to save people was overjoyed when he saw the savior coming, and hurriedly put the boy in his hands into the hands of the savior, and pointed to the shore.
The man nodded and took the boy's body with one hand, and with the other hand with his feet, he swam quickly to the shore, and everyone on the shore hurriedly fished the boy up, but the man had no hand in his hand, but he did not go ashore, turned around and swam towards another person in the water.
The man who first entered the water to save people saw that the boy was rescued, his heart was relieved, and his hands also learned to be the savior.
The man who turned around to save the man saw that the man was sinking into the water, and he paddled faster, and when he reached the place where the man was sinking, the person who did not know the nature of the water was no longer above the water, which made the man anxious, he inhaled hard, closed his mouth and entered the water.
However, it was obvious that this man was quite good at water, and he opened his eyes in the water to look around, and soon saw the man who was drowning in the water. I swam over and saw that the man couldn't hold his breath anymore, and his nose couldn't stop moving. In a hurry, he leaned over and opened his mouth to put his lips on the man's lips.
After the man sank into the water, he shouted in his heart that his life would be over, and he only regretted why he didn't learn to swim, and when his breath was unstable, he was stuck to his mouth by two things. The man was stunned for a moment, but when he opened his eyes, his eyes met a pair of familiar eyes, and on his mouth were the warm lips of the man, and his heart jumped suddenly, and he opened his mouth involuntarily.
After the man took a few breaths, his hands automatically wrapped around the waist of the person who saved him, and his chest also leaned over, clinging to the other party's chest, only to feel that the chest was soft and sticky, and suddenly his heart swayed, and he couldn't help himself, but he felt that this underwater water was as wonderful as a fairyland, and a thought of not wanting to go out of the water quietly rose in his heart.
The rescuer saw that the rescued man's mouth was like a suction cup, and he refused to let go for a long time, and his hands were like octopuses entangled around him, so that he could not move at all. There was a shock in his brain, and he hurriedly pulled the man's body open.
Helplessly, the man's face was not full of panic, but a look of extreme intoxication, and it was difficult to pull away when he stuck to himself. At this time, he didn't care what the man thought, and when his hand fell, he struck the back of the man's neck, and the man's eyes went black and he fainted.
The man who rescued the man breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly wrapped one hand around the man's armpits, and the other hand paddled towards the shore with force in the water, and with the help of everyone, he also rescued the man.
At this time, the boy's mother had already heard the sound and rushed to the scene, but when she saw that the boy had been rescued from the water, his face was blue and unconscious, and she hurriedly cried and threw herself beside the boy, begging everyone to save her son.
Seeing this, the man who knew how to water didn't care about being wet, pushed aside everyone, stepped to the boy's side in a few steps, put a finger under the boy's nose, felt that he was still breathing, and did not speak, and tore the clothes on the boy's chest with both hands.
Remembering the method of saving people taught by his master before, he hurriedly attached one palm to the other, and pressed it slightly on the boy's chest, pressing it a few times. Then pinch the boy's nose and blow hard into the boy's mouth.
After a while, the boy spat out a mouthful of choked water with a "wow", and his eyes opened and he woke up.
The boy's mother was overjoyed and prostrated in thanks. The man who rescued the man waved his hand and said, "No need to thank you, hurry up and take this child to a doctor."
The boy's mother was still very grateful, so she found someone to help her take the child to the doctor.
Only then did the man who rescued the man turn around and walked to the other person who was rescued, slapped the man's face with his hand, and called out in his mouth, "Di Qing, Di Qing? But he didn't see Di Qing wake up, so he hurriedly used his hand to probe Di Qing's snort, and saw that his breathing was still stable, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When the onlookers saw that the people who had fallen into the water had been rescued, and that the two seemed to know each other, they gradually dispersed and went home for dinner.
At this time, the sunset was gone, the sky was gradually darkening, the breeze was blowing, and the soaked body was blown by the wind and felt a little chilly. The man who rescued people looked down at the person who was still unconscious beside him, thought for a while, then squatted down and carried the man on his back, and slowly walked towards Zaojiazi Lane, which was not far away.
