Chapter 28: Distress

Suddenly, I remembered that when I used to have no strength in swimming, I often swam back, which was very labor-saving, and I could rest and recover quickly. I immediately turned over,

Facing the sky. Even though it was dark, I still hope that the old man will see me: the sky has eyes, and let us escape this fate.

I said to my aunt, "Auntie, lie on your back like me." Hands and feet straight, fast! ”

Fortunately, Auntie's legs were slightly bent at the knees, not curled up. I paddled desperately with one hand, still holding my aunt with the other. Afraid of kicking my aunt, my legs can only kick hard under the water, so the speed of progress is very slow, and I still choke on the water from time to time, but it is much less effort than just now. I pulled my aunt and turned my head from time to time to see if I was moving in the right direction so that I could adjust in time.

"I'm coming!"

It was Tian Jingjing, she took two ropes twisted from waterweeds, both tied to the swimsuit on the back of her aunt, and I quietly pulled her aunt to gradually move closer to the sandbank. With more quietness, Auntie's other hand was liberated again. Therefore, it didn't take long for Tian Jingjing and I to pull my aunt ashore.

All three of them were lying limp on the sandbar, gasping for air. At this time, I realized that my belly was swollen like an overinflated balloon, and it could burst at any time. I put my fingers down my throat and there was a nausea, "whoosh" sound, and the water in my stomach and dinner blurted out.

Mother and daughter looked at me in surprise, then sat up quietly and asked, "What's wrong?" Bean curd! ”

I forced a smile and said, "I was poured a few mouthfuls of water just now, but it's nothing." You might as well massage your aunt's legs. ”

Jingjing saw that I vomited so much, tears couldn't help but flow down, and she said to me with a heartache: "Tofu, I'm sorry!" ”

I smiled and said, "I should be the one who should apologize, if I hadn't provoked you, your mother and daughter wouldn't have chased me, and there would have been no danger." ”

Auntie sighed and said, "Hey, I'm old, I'm useless, and I almost hurt you, especially Xiaochi." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have sunk to the bottom by now feeding the fish. ”

Jing recalls his childhood: "When I was a child, as long as it was hot and after dinner, my father would take my mother and me here to swim. At that time, as long as it wasn't flooding, we would swim across the river for a round. ”

The aunt said proudly: "So our water quality is very good, and if I hadn't forgotten the warm-up preparation before entering the water today, I would definitely not have cramps." ”

"Sell lifebuoys! Who wants? Thirty dollars a piece, not much! ”

Suddenly, a bamboo raft came towards us, and the raft bearers shouted while propping up. I'm really angry, why didn't they even see a shadow at the moment of life and death just now? Now out of danger, what else to buy?

"Go, go, go! We don't need to. Tian Jingjing was angry and impatient, and said to the people who sell lifebuoys like driving away flies.

"Slow, can you be less, fifteen yuan is okay? It's too expensive! ”

It was like I had met a savior, and I hurriedly bargained with the lifebuoy seller.

My aunt advised me: "Xiaochi, it's too expensive, it's a waste of money, I can swim back by myself now." I bought it, and I didn't know if I could use it again in the Year of the Monkey. ”

When the lifebuoy seller saw that it was profitable, and two of the three of us objected, he was anxious to make a deal and hurriedly made a decision: "Fifteen is fifteen, take the money." ”

"I don't have any money with me, I have to go back to the shore to give it to you."

I didn't expect the people who sold lifebuoys to be so happy and didn't even pay back the price.

I put forward another condition and asked, "Can you take my aunt back by the way?" ”

I looked at Jing Jing in a swimsuit, drooling, and thought proudly: Haha, as soon as Auntie leaves, I will start with the beauty.

The lifebuoy seller replied, "I can only carry one, come up." ”

Although my aunt was very distressed by the fifteen yuan, she probably didn't have much confidence in swimming back to the riverbank, and was more worried about affecting me and Jingjing, so she had to follow my arrangement. Jing Jing didn't want to say anything more when she saw this.

"Come, Auntie, I'll help you."

I helped my aunt walk up the bamboo raft and told the lifebuoy sellers to be careful. After my aunt told me to talk to Jingjing, I left first. On the sandbank, only Tian and I were quiet, looking at the beauties around me, my heart was sweet.

Suddenly, I found a strange scene: on the bank of the river and on the bridge, it was dark and crowded. These people, some with cameras, mobile phones, and some with binoculars, all set their eyes on us. Me and Jing Jing have become the focus of attention! What's even more surprising is that around the aunt, a large number of people with cameras and microphones appeared. Outside her, there are several TV station interview cars.

"The deeds of my heroic rescue just now were publicized so quickly?! Hehe, I've become a celebrity. I muttered to myself, giggling.

Quietly poked me on the back and said, "Let's go, stop dreaming." ”

Jingjing, this girl, obviously saw a qiē on the shore, but she turned a blind eye. With such a grand scene, she was able to pamper herself without being shocked and calm. It's a pity, we have to go, and the beautiful scenery is in vain. I sighed, reluctant to go to the ground, and swam side by side with Jing Jing to the riverbank. I've been salivating for a long time, and I'm not willing to leave like this.

I made up my mind: the geese will also pluck their feathers. I deliberately created an incident and repeatedly collided with the quiet. At first, he quietly squinted at me, and later, he probably thought that I was a reasonable collision, so he stopped talking. As for me, I have to inch in. In the end, I boldly grabbed her little hand. Her hands were slippery and tender, and I was comfortable holding them in my hands.

I think she must be very grateful to me for sacrificing my life to save my mother, and will reward me, be silent about my indecent acts, and even encourage me to do whatever I want: she will look at me with affection and blush. Then, I jumped up and put my arms around her slender waist. We dive underwater, make out, hee-hee. The strong color heart makes me think about it.

However, Jing Jing did not repay the favor, but smashed my hand away fiercely, glaring angrily: "Let go of your claws! ”

Who is this?! Heart of stone! I swallowed and let go of her slender hand.

When the people on the shore saw us coming to the shore, they flocked to us. They didn't know that I was saving my future mother-in-law. It's a matter of course, there's nothing to brag about. But now that they're here, I can't disappoint them, especially journalists who are in dire need of news. The thought of making the headlines tomorrow makes me ecstatic.

Before we could reach the shore, people had already rushed into the river and surrounded us. However, as I stood up for the interview, I was shocked to realize that they were not coming at me. Everyone rushed to Tian Jingjing and surrounded her, and no one looked at me.
