Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Vortex
Xiaobai quickly looked for the boy's figure, and suddenly saw that the bamboo cage was not far from his feet, the horse swam over, cut the bamboo cage with a dagger, and hugged the little boy with the other hand, and swam to the surface of the water with all his might.
When he surfaced, the little boy had closed his eyes, not knowing if he was still alive.
Xiaobai anxiously patted the little boy's thin and cold face, but still didn't react at all, "Wake up, wake up"
It may be that Xiaobai took a little too much, and the little boy coughed out a mouthful of water and coughed several times.
Xiaobai was overjoyed, "It's good that you're not dead"
The little boy looked at Xiaobai's face, "Did you save me?" ”
"Don't talk so much about it, let's go ashore first" Xiao Bai wrapped his arms around the little boy's waist and swam to the shore, but the evil wind became stronger and stronger, and ripples swept across the lake.
Not far from the shore, there seemed to be a force sucking down under the water, Xiaobai felt bad and sped up.
But the form of the current has changed, and it is spinning strongly, and at this time there is a whirlpool in the center of the lake that is getting bigger and bigger, and the water is moving at a great speed.
As soon as Xiaobai was able to step on the stone, he was swept away by the strong current, Xiaobai aimed at the huge whirlpool in the lake, hugged the boy tightly, to prevent it from being washed away, the water around him was too loud, Xiaobai said loudly to the boy, "Wait for me to finish and prepare, you just take a big breath, and then hold your breath, do you know?" ”
Xiaobai saw the little boy nodding, getting closer and closer to the whirlpool, revolving around the whirlpool, and the speed was getting faster and faster, Xiaobai was very dizzy, forced to endure, and was about to reach the center of the whirlpool.
"Ready! Inhale"
Xiaobai and the boy took a big breath at the same time, then held back, and the two were swept to the bottom with the whirlpool.
When he inhaled, Xiaobai seemed to see a black shadow and jump into the water.
The whirlpool on the surface of the water lasted for a while, and then it stopped eerily, and suddenly the wind and waves were calm, as if nothing had happened.
I don't know how long it took, Xiaobai woke up, and saw that the little boy next to him hadn't woken up yet, and the stains on his face were washed away by water, revealing his delicate facial features, "This child must be a beautiful man when he grows up" Xiaobai thought about it, and checked that the little boy was still not injured.
Xiaobai looked around, this is a very large place, there is a large circular pool more than ten meters away, and there is a statue of a giant snake on the water magnet, which is the same as the blue and black snake in the old woman's hand.
"This should be the Blue and Black Water Snake King," Xiaobai whispered
After looking at it for a while, he shook the little boy, "Little friend, wake up."
The little boy opened his eyes, propped himself up, looked around in confusion and said, "Where is this?" ”
"We were swept under the water by a whirlpool, and then we fainted, and finally came here," Xiaobai explained briefly.
The little boy looked at Xiaobai in silence and didn't speak, Xiaobai wondered, "Is there anything on my face?" The boy shook his head.
"Are you okay? I just checked your body, and you don't seem to be injured," Xiaobai said with concern
The little boy blushed and his eyes were slightly red. Xiaobai saw it and thought instantly, today's children are precocious and are about to enter puberty, and it is not good to say it, it will insult self-esteem, so you have to say it euphemistically.
"Well, I took a look at my appearance a little and didn't move anywhere else," Xiaobai hurriedly explained, and then saw that the little boy was wearing really thin, and he was a little distressed and said, "Is it cold?" ”
So he took off his coat and draped it over the little boy.
The little boy stretched out his thin hand and held Xiaobai's hand tightly, his head lowered, and his eyes flashed with childlike stubbornness
The little boy thought to himself that it had been a long time since anyone cared about me so much, and this time he hoped that I would hold on to it and not let it run.
