Chapter 200: The Long Shadow
Zhao Yang felt very sorry that such a unique special terrain pattern was cut off. And after figuring out the reason for his heavy and depressed mood, Zhao Yang's eyebrows also stretched.
Coming down from the tower, Wu Cheng and the others shouted to go boating and playing. When the group came to the place where the boat was rented, Wu Cheng said, "Let's rent two boats, how about one for exactly four people?" ”
"yes, yes!" Guo Qianqian nodded in response. In addition to Zhao Yang, Mu Qinglan, Qian Hao, and Guo Qianqian, there are also Wu Cheng, Fang Zishang, Liang Deshan and Wang Mengyan, a total of exactly eight people.
At that moment, the eight of them rented two small boats with the staff. After paying the rent, the staff gave Zhao Yang and each of them a life jacket, and said: "Come, everyone has a life jacket, remember to wear it, otherwise you won't go boating in the lake......"
Hearing the staff's words, Wu Cheng couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why is it stipulated that you must wear a life jacket now?" Didn't I seem to wear it casually last time I came here to play? ”
The staff glanced at Wu Cheng and said, "This is a recent regulation of the scenic spot, in order to ensure the safety of tourists." ”
"Huh? Is there anyone who falls into the lake while swimming? Wu Cheng asked curiously.
But I didn't want the staff to actually nod and said, "Well, such a thing has indeed happened, so the scenic spot requires every tourist to wear a life jacket when boating." ”
Hearing the staff's explanation, Wu Cheng nodded, and then didn't ask any more. He didn't pay much attention to it, and casually put the life jacket on his body. He's not a landlubber, and in this calm lake, it doesn't matter if he wears this life jacket or not.
At that moment, everyone also put on their life jackets, and then boarded the two small boats respectively. Zhao Yang and Mu Qinglan also had Qian Hao and Guo Qianqian, and the other four naturally got on the other boat.
"Zhao Yang. Why don't we compare and see who can row faster? It ends at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Wu Cheng grabbed an oar and pointed to a pavilion built in the middle of the lake in front of him.
"Yes, Zhao Yang, Qian Hao, let's see who arrives first. How about the losing side have a dinner when they go back to school tonight? Liang Deshan also said with a smile. There are three boys on their side, only Wang Mengyan is a girl, and Zhao Yang and their side are two men and two women, and Liang Deshan consciously took a lot of advantage.
Qian Hao glanced at Zhao Yang, "How is it, Zhao Yang." Do you want to compare with them? ”
Zhao Yang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay!" Compare to compare! But wait, don't regret it. ”
"Don't worry, you will never regret it!" Wu Cheng and the others all looked at each other and laughed.
"Good! Let's get ready, and we'll start when I count to three! Qian Hao said.
"Okay!" Wu Cheng and Liang Deshan nodded in response. Immediately, several people on the two boats each picked up an oar, and then Qian Hao began to count.
"One, two, three. Begin! ”
As soon as Qian Hao's words fell, the two sides began to row their oars into the lake almost simultaneously. Immediately. The two small boats rushed forward quickly......
"Qian Hao, Qinglan, Qianqian, listen to my slogan, let's row together, keep the rhythm and don't mess up." As soon as he set off, Zhao Yang spoke.
"Good!"
"Okay!"
"No problem!"
The three of them answered. Immediately, Zhao Yang was responsible for shouting slogans. The four of them also maintained the consistency of their rowing movements with Zhao Yang's slogan, so Zhao Yang's forward speed suddenly accelerated a lot.
Wu Cheng on the other side, they immediately followed suit when they saw this. So, on the huge lake, two small boats were moving at a rapid pace. There was even a rhythmic slogan of Zhao Yang and Wu Cheng......
Although Wu Cheng has three boys, they have a slight advantage, but they are undoubtedly slightly inferior to Zhao Yang's side in terms of cooperation. What's more, there is such a completely tireless guy as Zhao Yang, and gradually, Wu Cheng and them were pulled away by a distance.
Unconsciously, the two small boats had rowed far away, and Wu Cheng and them were desperately chasing after them. And Zhao Yang and the four of them did not relax, and they were also rowing the oars hard.
Wu Cheng and the others, who were concentrating on rowing the oars to catch up, did not notice that a long shadow suddenly appeared in the lake below their boat. At this time, they were just bent on chasing Zhao Yang and them, and they didn't notice the shadows under the lake at all......
At this time, there was a sudden 'plop' sound, and several people in Wucheng felt that the boat was shaking lightly for a while, and there was a splash of water. Surprised, several people looked back, but saw that Wang Mengyan, who was originally sitting on the side of the boat, actually fell into the water at this moment, and was fluttering vigorously at this time, looking at her as if she couldn't swim, fortunately, she was wearing a life jacket, her body was floating on the water, and she did not sink.
At the same time, the long underwater shadow that had been following Wu Cheng and their boat also disappeared very abruptly......
"It's not good, Mengyan fell into the water!" Wu Cheng shouted, quickly stopped rowing, and immediately said to Liang Deshan and Fang Zishang: "Quickly row over and rescue Mengyan!" ”
At that moment, the three of them immediately rowed the boat next to Wang Mengyan, and several people hurriedly rescued Wang Mengyan on the boat......
Zhao Yang, who was originally not far from the front, also heard the 'plopping' sound when Wang Mengyan fell into the water before, and when they turned around and saw that it was Wang Mengyan who fell into the water, they also quickly stopped.
"It seems that Mengyan has fallen overboard, quickly row the boat over!" Seeing this, Zhao Yang immediately said.
Although they couldn't figure out what the situation was, when Mu Qinglan and the others saw that it was Wang Mengyan who fell into the water, they couldn't help but feel nervous, and quickly turned the boat around and rowed towards Wu Cheng and them.
When Zhao Yang and the others arrived, Wang Mengyan had already been rescued by several people from Wucheng on the boat. Although she was wearing a life jacket, Wang Mengyan, who was completely ignorant of water, still drank a few sips of lake water, and sat on the boat at this time with a frightened look, her little face was slightly pale, and her hair and body were wet.
"Wu Cheng, what the hell is going on? How could Mengyan suddenly fall into the water? After getting closer, Guo Qianqian couldn't help but ask.
"yes, why did Haode Mengyan suddenly fall into the lake?" Mu Qinglan was also a little puzzled.
Wu Cheng spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I don't know what's going on. I was rowing a boat just now, and then suddenly I heard a 'plop' sound from behind, and when I looked back, I found that Wang Mengyan had fallen into the lake. ”
Because Wang Mengyan was sitting in a position in Zuihou, not only did Wu Cheng not see how she fell into the water, but even Liang Deshan and Fang Zishang also said that they didn't know what was going on.
Seeing this, Guo Qianqian had no choice but to ask the party Wang Mengyan: "Mengyan, why did you suddenly fall into the water just now?" ”
"Yes, Mengyan, although this boat is not big, it is quite stable, why did you fall suddenly?" Mu Qinglan tilted her head and was also puzzled.
It is true that this boating boat is very small, but on this calm lake, as long as you don't jump around, it seems unlikely that you will fall into the water for no reason, right?
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Wang Mengyan's expression seemed to be a little dazed, "I, I don't know why I fell into the water." Just now, I seemed to see something in this lake, and I ......"
Wang Mengyan thought hard for a while, and said with a little hesitation: "Then I felt like my head was shaking for a while, and then I found myself falling into the water." ”
Hearing Wang Mengyan's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other for a while.
"Well, Mengyan, are you sure you really don't know how you got into the water?" Guo Qianqian said a little suspiciously.
Wang Mengyan thought about it again, but still shook her head categorically, "I really don't know." I didn't have the slightest impression at all, but I felt a little dazed at the time, and then I found myself in the water. ”
At this time, everyone doesn't know what to say, and looking at Wang Mengyan's appearance, it doesn't look like she's talking nonsense, not to mention that there is no need to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, so it can only show that Wang Mengyan really doesn't know how she fell.
But if that's the case, then it's a little weird.
Among the people present, only Zhao Yang frowned, revealing a bit of contemplation. Suddenly asked, "Mengyan, you just said that you saw something in the lake, and then you fell into the water in a daze?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yang's question, Wang Mengyan thought seriously for a while before nodding affirmatively: "Hmm." I was rowing a boat, and when I saw something swimming underneath the boat, I was curious to see what it was, and then I couldn't remember how to fall into the lake. ”
"Something? Zishang, Ah Shan, did you just see something swimming under the boat? Why didn't I find out? Wu Cheng scratched his head in confusion.
Fang Zishang and Liang Deshan also shook their heads and said, "I haven't seen anything swimming." ”
Hearing this, Wu Cheng couldn't help but say to Wang Mengyan: "Wang Mengyan, it shouldn't be that you are dazzled or hallucinated." Why, we didn't see anything. ”
"This ......," Wang Mengyan hesitated. Zuihou still shook his head, "I'm not sure either. It's just that I did see something underneath the boat. ”
Qian Hao, Guo Qianqian, and Mu Qinglan glanced at each other, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Yang, who was frowning and contemplative.
At this time, Zhao Yang asked again, "Mengyan, can you tell me what you saw?" Or what kind of thing it looks like, what characteristics it has, or whatever. ”
Wang Mengyan thought for a while and said, "I didn't see much clearly, but I vaguely saw what seemed to be a long shadow swimming from the bottom of the boat." As for the features and the like, I didn't see it clearly, but I remember that it was quite long, at least as long as four or five of this small boat. ”
Wang Mengyan said a little ambiguously. She wasn't sure about it, because she had only seen it at a glance, and when she tried to take a closer look, she found that she had fallen into the water. If you want her to say it at this time, naturally you can't say much. (To be continued......)
