Chapter 176: Drowning

Xiao Jing's water nature is not good at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before he crossed the crossing, his swimming skills were limited to two unsatisfactory dips in the water or a breaststroke with a lifebuoy. When his swimming skills are not good, he will float backwards when he strokes hard.

Therefore, Xiao Jing is a little afraid of water. As he got older, he decided not to go to the pool anymore to make jokes for the children.

As for boats, he has either taken a large cruise ship to the sea or a pedal boat in the park. Truth be told, he also has a phobia of ships.

However, in order to go home early, I fought hard!

The boat the three of them were on was not a big boat, but it was just bigger than an ordinary small boat. However, it is quite comfortable to live in, at least Lu Shanshan has a separate compartment.

The sky outside the cabin had turned dark. Calculate the time, and it will be dark in about half an hour. Until then, the boatman will find a place to moor, and the trip will be over for the day.

Xiao Jing and Shao Ning chatted for a while, and then lay down in the cabin sleepily.

Before the drowsiness hit, he was still thinking: The last time I went out and told Qin Ziqian that we didn't agree, but I really met a bandit; This time, after just one day of walking, he lived in a black shop, and was almost sold to the mountains as a slave laborer. And one before and one after the last two are business trips with different people, that is......

Am I the one who is really unlucky? It's like everyone in Conan says that Mori Kogoro is the Grim Reaper, but the real Grim Reaper is Conan himself?

Thinking so crankily, Xiao Jing fell asleep.

I don't know how long later, in his sleep, he suddenly heard two muffled sounds; opened his eyes in a daze, but saw that Shao Ning was also at a loss. Presumably this kid is also asleep, and he doesn't know what happened at all.

The two of them were staring at each other as the door to the compartment was kicked open.

The person who broke in was Lu Shanshan. With an anxious face, she saw that Xiao Jing and Shao Ning were there, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes; However, before Xiao Jing could ask, she lowered her face and said sharply: "Hurry up!" ”

"Let's go, we're on the river. Are you in a bad head? Shao Ning, who was a little angry when he got up, said angrily: "You are a girl, how can you babble like Qin Ziqian's fake masters......"

As soon as the words fell, he jumped up with a strange scream: "Grandma's, why did you get into the water!" ”

Xiao Jing's face also changed. That's right, it did get into the water, and the water came from the bow and stern of the ship! Moreover, the hull is sinking very fast!

It's too late to hesitate. Lu Shanshan was in front, Xiao Jing and Shao Ning were behind, and the three of them rushed to the bow of the boat together.

Xiao Jing was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Not far from the foot there are two large holes in the bottom of the pot. The river kept coming up from the big hole, and it was estimated that the boat would be able to hold out for another half a minute at most.

"Jump!" Lu Shanshan hurriedly said: "Let's swim to the shore together!" ”

Swim past? Easier said than done!

The boat is on the inner side of the river, and it is more than ten meters from the shore. If there is a calm lake under the boat, Xiao Jing can still try hard, but there is a turbulent river below...... It is estimated that only people with very good water conditions have the opportunity to swim ashore.

It is also impossible to escape from the left side. On the left is a smooth mountain wall, and there is no place to stay.

Xiao Jing was still hesitating, and the boat that was barely drifting forward suddenly hit a big rock in the river. The ship was already sinking, so the force of the impact was not great; But even so, the force was enough to lift three unsuspecting men off the stormy ship.

The moment he fell into the water, he understood why this river, like many big rivers, could not be boated at night. At least on this point, the boatman did not lie to him.

People who can't swim or have poor swimming skills will panic as soon as they fall into the water, and Xiao Jing is no exception. Still, he kept as calm as he could: the moment he emerged from the water, he took a deep breath; After that, he struggled to recall what he had learned when he was learning to swim and wanted his body to float on the water.

Unfortunately, everything was in vain, and his calmness only helped him to drink a few sips of water.

This is a river, not a lake. The human body will go up and down with the flow of water, and in this process, Xiao Jing will inevitably choke on water.

All drowning people will step into a vicious cycle of "the more panicked they get, the more they struggle, and the more they struggle, the more panic they get". Xiao Jing, who was panicked, fluttered uncontrollably, and Shicai's thoughts of "being calm" were instantly thrown out of the clouds by him.

Am I going to die here?

The desire to survive slowly prevailed. He tried his best to swim to the shore, but no matter how hard he tried, the bank of the river more than ten meters away was so out of reach for him.

If you had known, you would have learned to swim!

Xiao Jing sank underwater for the Nth time. His consciousness gradually blurred, and the world in his eyes was only a little halo on the surface of the river that he saw from the bottom of the water.

Could it be that you are really going to die?

Can't give up!

The ambitions that had inspired him in a life-and-death moment came back to mind. Xiao Jing kicked hard, paddling his arms desperately with the idea of making a last fight, and finally let himself surface again.

Unfortunately, all he could do was cough desperately. Slowly, he felt like his hands and feet were filled with lead, and no matter how hard he tried to paddle, his limbs were stiff and sluggish.

This is the real despair, right?

Everyone is going to die. The difference is that many people die silently and without much pain; And some people have to go through a process from hope to disappointment to despair before they die. This way of dying is undoubtedly much more painful.

Xiao Jing was unwilling to die like this. Even if he was dying, he was still fluttering mechanically, but it was just a death throe.

At that moment, he suddenly felt something hit him on the head. Could it be that I hit a rock?

Xiao Jing, who was dizzy, instinctively mobilized the last bit of strength in his body. However, this was of no use at all, because he was soon "smashed" again, and this heavy blow made him completely unconscious......

The moment he opened his eyes again, he saw a sky full of stars.

Xiao Jing's eyes kept rolling, trying to see everything around him clearly; Gradually, his sense of hearing also recovered a little, and he pricked up his ears to listen, and there seemed to be a "crackling" sound of firewood burning not far away.

I'm alive!

He was so excited that he wanted to shout loudly, but he coughed again and couldn't speak.

Only then did Xiao Jing realize that someone should have rescued him ashore. After first aid, seeing that his breathing was smooth and his heartbeat was stable, he was left here.

"Awake?" A woman's voice floated faintly: "I thought you were about to drown, but I didn't expect your life to be quite hard." The slave family let you lie on your side, you are good, and you turned over by yourself as if you were sleeping! Actually, you've already regained your senses, but you're scared by choking on a few mouthfuls of water, so you'll wake up at this point......"

The sound is so familiar...... Is it Lu Shanshan?
