Every cell in the body is like being crushed back and forth by a 10,000-pound boulder grinding disc.

The painful suffocation hit the brain from the chest in bursts, and the body seemed to float in the air, but it was collided back and forth by some unknown force, fluttering irregularly, sinking and floating, swinging up and down, left and right without direction.

It's painful...

It's painful...

He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to cough up the strange pain in his throat, but he found that he couldn't cough. The throat and chest simply did not listen to his response.

Is there anyone who can help me.

Just help, even if it's just a little bit...

The pain continues, and it grows more intense and clearer. No one heard his cries for help, nothing answered his cries for help.

Some only have the pain of making his body twitch so violently that it is extreme, and the weakness that even the convulsions become weak after a longer time.

No, no, no.

No one will save me...

No one...

I don't even have anyone by my side, who will come to save me...

No...

Not true.

There was one, I remember one, there was a person, waiting for me to save her!

Be...

Be...

A vague figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The appearance is no longer visible, but the gentle crimson and the pure white clothes are so conspicuous.

There was a violent upheaval, a sharp pain spread from his back, and the boy suddenly opened his eyes, but what he saw was darkness, and what he felt behind him was a hardness, and a pain pouring from his heart.

He could feel that only his head was above the water, and that he was still in the water from the neck down. Time, it should still be dawn, and he wasn't in a coma for long, he thought. But he was not allowed to continue to observe anything, the river below him slapped coldly and mercilessly into his eyes, and he was caught off guard before he could even focus his gaze before he was forced to close again by the astringent pain caused by the violent current.

At this time, a violent feeling of suffocation in the body instantly surged into the brain. He struggled frantically, subconsciously grasping the things around him that could be caught by him and wanted to breathe in pain, but he vomited like suffocation from the pain in his body, and squeezed out a large puddle of water from his stomach and lungs.

He choked on so much water that it even squirted out of his nose, and he was in agony from the choking pain in his nasal cavity.

He grabbed the strange rock protruding from his side, his body was washed by the water and swayed from side to side, and the joints of his body were almost unable to move due to the cold water, but he didn't dare to let go of his hand.

He spat out mouthfuls of ice-cold water, and even spit until his vision darkened at one point.

He was greedy, and extremely lucky, to inhale the first breath of air after he fell into the water.

He breathed heavily, his body hungry for fresh air. His breathing was so rapid that his throat made the sound of a bellows breaking like a drooping old man, as if he couldn't breathe anymore.

Compared to the pain of suffocation, the biting cold of the water and the sharp pain in the body seemed to be nothing.

This is the second time he's been in such a situation. The last time in the deep sea, the brackish water poured into his body, and he almost died there. But Dark saved him.

But this time...

There is no one left. This time, even the darkness was not around. He can only rely on himself, all he can rely on is himself, and there is even a person waiting for him to save!

He didn't rest long, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water again with his eyes open.

He endured the freezing pain in his eyes brought by the ice water, and desperately held his eyelids to find something in the dark water.

Even though he knew it was dark underwater, he still had to keep his eyes open. You may have a chance to discover something with your eyes open, but with your eyes closed, it's completely dark.

But the sore spot in his eyes was sharp and his nose was sharp, and soon he couldn't bear it. Xiu Zai encouraged himself in his heart:

Compared to the seawater, this is nothing at all... He gritted his teeth and searched underwater.

The eyes hurt, but it's nothing.

My eyes hurt, but I can't compare to the sea!

But no matter how much he insisted, no matter how much he encouraged himself, his eyes were blurring a little bit, and his vision was a little bit dilated. He blinked vigorously and tried to relieve it, and endured not to rise to the surface, and he endured not to close his eyes.

Thankfully, he didn't keep himself waiting too long. Before his vision was completely confused, he saw the large net of hemp rope that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

But his target wasn't the net itself, but the crimson figure inside, which was already a little invisible.

He grabbed the rocks at the bottom of the water, kicked the stones and pushed himself through the turbulent water in a brutal way, and after grabbing the large net, he tried to float up. But now the heavy clothes and iron armor on his body were in the way.

They are too heavy.

They are usually an important item to keep out the cold, even though they are waterproof. But I don't know if I've been soaking in water!

Underwater, the water-soaked cloak and coat became so heavy that it was impossible to float to the surface, but it was even more impractical to take them off underwater, where the cumbersome buttons and ties were enough to drown him before he could untie his clothes.

He could only grope little by little, climbing the craggy stone walls around him, dragging heavy net ropes and crawling out of the water little by little.

When he came out of the water again, he didn't care about changing his breath a few more times, and he didn't care about his blurry eyes that could barely see, but pulled the girl out of the water for the first time.

I was suffocated by the water just now, so what about this girl who has been underwater all the time!

Grabbing the stone wall beside him with his right hand and leaning against the mountain, he lifted the big net with difficulty with his left hand, hugged the girl to his chest, and let her head rise to the surface.

Water was coming from her mouth and nose, but it was clearly not coming out completely, and she was still choking.

She had lost consciousness and looked like a sleeping fish, except that her face and lips were sickly pale and lacked a trace of blood.

"Sakura—" He tried to wake the girl up, but found that his voice was too weak for him to hear.

His throat was frozen by the river, and he couldn't shake it.

The arm stiffened through the thick net, holding the fainting girl tightly to her chest. Through the net, he touched the girl's body, which became almost as cold as water.

That net is heavy and in the way. He wanted to free the girl from the net and throw it as far as possible, but without it, Xiu wasn't sure he could catch her in such a turbulent current. But this does make it even more difficult to repair in an already bad state.

I can't stay in the water anymore, and now I have to find a place where I can go ashore. Now the water was taking away his strength every minute and every second.

But when he wanted to make any moves, he suddenly realized that he couldn't move at all now.

Only the fingers of his right hand stiffly clasped the craggy stone wall, trying not to let the turbulent water wash him away, and the stones under his feet were extremely smooth, coupled with the rapid rush of the water, there was no place to stay, and his whole body was floating in the water and he relied on one hand to fix himself.

It seems to be stuck in an endless loop, and if you let go of your hand, you are bound to be washed away...

His heart became more and more impatient, and the pain in his body and the increasing strength of the passage made it impossible for him to calm down at all.

He gritted his teeth, bent his arm slightly, and pushed himself away with all his might, letting the water swirl and wash him away.

The heavy service on his body kept carrying him down, but he was thrown out of the water by the powerful river. He just went up and down in the river and kept rising and falling, constantly choking on water.

He had no way to resist such a force, he instinctively held the girl to his chest to protect her, and hugged her tightly.

The current is getting stronger and stronger, and the water is getting stronger. Xiu floated weakly in the water, floating and floating. At the same time, he noticed that the originally clear water began to slowly become turbid and yellow. There seems to be more and more sediment in the water, and the water level is still rising significantly.

Giggles...

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of something breaking in front of me.

He glanced hard ahead, and disbelief filled his face.

The unattainable and steep valley cliff not far away was really broken!

The large jagged boulder slid down with a terrible cracking sound, and the billowing smoke and dust fell like a spear in Xiu's frightened eyes.

Don't, never...

Rumble!

Before he could finish praying, the boulder had already smashed through the river in front of him!

At that moment, it seemed that even the river was flowing backwards, and Xiu could feel that the river seemed to shake.

But that's not what Xiu is going to be concerned about right now. He couldn't dodge the rock now.

He hugged the girl tightly, and at the last turned his back to the unavoidable boulder.

There was a muffled sound of pain.

This knocked out almost all the air he had managed to breathe, and the whole person was stunned.

He was pressed against the stone by the river, and the waves washed against his chest with mud and sand, and occasionally passed over his head. He couldn't move under the pressure of the huge water, he couldn't hold the girl tightly, and it was extremely difficult to even breathe. But that obstructive net plays a key role at this time. The grid didn't know when it had been wrapped around his armor, like hanging on a hook, and even though his hand had loosened, the girl was still in front of him, not being swept away by the river.

This hit was really fierce, and Xiu had tried his best to protect it, but the girl still hit him in the chest.

She suddenly coughed violently, and a large amount of water was coughed out by her. She was constantly shaking, coughing as if she was vomiting. When she finally stopped, she groaned and gasped for breath as she woke up.

She felt that she was being held by someone, and there was a small body in front of her that was holding her.

"Repair...?" She tilted her head sideways, her eyes hazy as she looked at the boy in front of her.

"Hmm..." another wave came, and half of Xiu's face was immersed in the water, and he could only respond simply.

"Repair?" She wanted to see the boy more clearly, but the water that dripped from her forehead into her eyes from time to time stinged her. She tried to wipe it, but found that both hands were wrapped in nets around him.

"It's... It's me. After the waves receded, the boy tried to make a smile, holding the stone tightly with one hand to keep them from sinking, and holding the girl as far as he could with the other.

But this smile looks very reluctant. Sakura could feel the arm around her waist already trembling, as if it would loosen at any moment. He was clearly on the verge of losing power. But he kept holding on to himself and never let go.

A sour sensation surged up the tip of her nose, and she buried her face in the socket of Xiu's neck, hugging his thin body.

"Xiu..."

Xiu choked up when he heard the girl's voice.

He turned his face sideways and tried to see the girl's face, to see what was wrong with her, but even though he was close, it was still blurry.

"You... Are you crying? He blinked vigorously, trying to shake the muddy water off his eyelids, but more water slapped on his face, leaving him to do useless work.

The girl's face rubbed against his neck, as if shaking her head, but she said nothing more.

He couldn't see the girl's expression clearly, and it was useless to blink his eyes. The pain in my body continued, but it seemed that I had gotten used to it, so it wasn't so unbearable.

He could feel the girl's hand holding him. It felt small, but it was getting harder and harder.

"Sakura, get ready, take a few more breaths." The boy said weakly, looking at the murky river around him uneasily, "Maybe... Something terrible is coming. ”

He was right.

The speed of the river is getting faster and faster, and Xiu, who is nailed to the stone by the river, feels more and more pressure on his chest, more and more. Just as he was about to run out of breath, there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

He thought of something, and his already pale face turned even paler.

"Sakura, take a breath and hold me tight! Hold me tight with all your might! He stared closely in the direction where the voice came from, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger: "We're going to dive!" ”

The girl nodded, but said nothing. In fact, there is no need for him to say, the girl has been holding him very tightly for a long time.

He took a few deep breaths and took a long breath.

At this moment, the first rays of sunlight shone on the top of the valley cliffs, and the golden light drove away the dull darkness of the dawn.

With the first light of the morning, Xiu saw the upper reaches of the river, and at the end of his sight, the faint tide of the Yellow River crashed violently like a city wall. It scraped the rough stone walls, broke some protruding stones, and the muddy torrent, which was at least five or six meters higher than the river, rumbled and shook and crushed the mountains and seas.

The flood came so quickly, but so secretly. Under the cover of darkness, Xiu could barely see its arrival. Even if the morning light shines on its form, it is already close at hand.

Shu and Yae Sakura had just plunged into the water, but they were swept into the air by this flood!

This is probably the chapter I've struggled with for the longest time. Three days? Or four days? I don't remember, but it took me like 3 all-nighters to refine this chapter. I don't know what's wrong with me, I can't get stuck in this chapter. This is a chapter that focuses on brushing favorability, and it is also the emotional foreshadowing of the last two chapters, but it has been written very dryly, very stiff, and it should be a very difficult process in three or two sentences, and one or two small pains will end this plot...... That's not what I wanted, and it shouldn't be a perfunctory book. I thought I might as well wake up in safety, but I knew it wasn't logical. Jumping from the valley, at least 300 meters high, even if you are given a deep enough dark river, you will wake up safely, there is no such good thing. There are no broken bones and tendons, you Kaslana has rough skin and thick flesh, and Sakura is well protected by you. On this dark night of dawn, you jump down and lose the moonlight and still want to see things, impossible. You are still a human being in a strong position, and people do not have night vision. No matter how good your health is, you still want to take someone with you, and you still want to swim with so much equipment on your body, it's impossible. Prepare to calm in the water. After drowning in the water for so long and not dying, I will bless you as a collapse. All kinds of logical regulations, the development of various things, including the outbreak of flash floods, I also made the foreshadowing of the snow melting in spring and the rain in the spring, and the flash flood is inevitable. Having said so much, I just want to say that I worked hard, I didn't lower my requirements and grades, but my brain is almost dead now, let me sleep...... I didn't want to stay up late, it hurt too much......
