CHAPTER XXVI
After Eleven finished speaking, Shi Shiran got up and floated to the bottom of the tree, then took off his lantern, waved at me, and walked away.
I changed my position and snuggled up in the tree and waited.
Waiting until the middle of the moon and the middle of the day, to see that the hour was almost up, I got up and floated to the canopy.
This persimmon tree is said to have been planted by the first patriarch of Fox Village, and it can be said that it is the same age as Fox Village. Thousands of years later, the body of this tree has grown too many people to hug each other, and now it is the height of summer, and the green canopy spreads out, and it looks bigger than the back garden of the eleven houses.
It's going to take a few laps around the canopy, and you can't tire the fox to death!
I sighed, followed the instructions of Aunt Ruhua, and honestly floated on the canopy, along the edge of the canopy, nine times clockwise, then turned around, and then nine times counterclockwise.
After the turn, I closed my eyes and plunged straight into the deep pool under the tree.
A thought flashed quickly in my heart: This is the method that the fox predecessor who didn't eat the wolf came up with to get out of the village? What a pit fox!
Daddy fell into this deep pool and drowned!
My heart suddenly tightened, and I didn't know if I was scared or nervous.
But before I could figure out what it was, I had fallen into the pool.
There was a "plop" and the sound of falling water was so loud that I could imagine how high the splash was.
I didn't even have time to take a deep breath before I fell into the water, and before I could react, the water was already topped.
I opened my eyes and breathed subconsciously, and the water quickly went down my nose and into my lungs, and I realized that ------ I can't drink water!
Usually, I just step on the shallow water by the stream to catch a fish, and the water is knee-deep at most, and I haven't been to any deeper place.
I tried to call for help, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the water poured in, and a string of bubbles bubbled.
I covered my mouth and nose and struggled desperately with my legs, and then I felt a sudden tightening of the collar around my neck.
Something seemed to hold me back, and I just flew up. Then, I heard the sound of water in my ears, and my head finally came out of the water.
I breathed greedily into the air I hadn't seen for a long time, and kept choking and coughing, and it took me a long time to recover.
I coughed twice harder, I always felt that the collar was tight, I was a little breathless, I pulled the collar with my backhand, and when I touched the collar, it seemed to be a hard hook, and there was a thin thread attached to the hook.
I pulled two handfuls and couldn't move, so I pulled the line in front of me.
I saw that the almost transparent thread was tight, but the other end did not know where it led. I looked in the direction of the line and saw a man by the pond looking at me stupidly, holding a fishing rod bent into a bow.
I tried to pull the line, and I saw the rod in the man's hand bent again.
Uh, I'm being caught?
"That ......" I coughed, and then asked embarrassedly, "Big brother, is your fishing line strong?" Could you please pull me to shore? I don't know how to swim. ”
The man gave me a stupid look, then pointed to the water.
Belch?
This can't be a fool, right?
The fool looked at me stupidly, and when he saw that I didn't react, he said, "Come up by yourself, the water is not deep, you don't need to swim." ”
Yes?
I looked down and saw that the water was barely up to my waist.
I tried to step on it, but my feet were soft, just footless mud.
I was in a hurry to run to the shore! I'm afraid that the mud will be gone in the next second!
Stumbling and finally climbing ashore, I threw myself on the ground and gasped for breath.
