Chapter 497: Going Against the Tide to Keep Balance
The next day, Shi Zeng woke up from a dream.
In the dream, the sky was dark, and he and Le Xiaosi were walking in a forest together, and the forest was full of smoke.
Le Xiaosi walked in front, Shi Zeng walked behind, walking and walking, he found that the distance between him and Le Xiaosi was getting farther and farther away.
The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and Le Xiaosi's figure loomed in the smoke.
"Sisi, don't go so fast, wait for me."
There was no answer.
He quickly caught up, no matter how fast he ran, the distance between him and Le Xiaosi never changed.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and Le Xiaosi's figure had disappeared. He continued to look forward and run for a while, but still didn't see Le Xiaosi.
The forest was eerily quiet, so quiet that it seemed like he was the only creature.
"Sisi... Sisi... Le Xiaosi!"
Still no answer.
It's getting dark soon, where did Sisi go? In which direction should I go to her?
In the midst of hesitation, the sky turned out to be brighter again.
The fog gradually dissipated, and not far away was a small river, and Le Xiaosi rolled up his pants and turned over stones in the middle of the river.
Shi Zeng quickly approached the river, Le Xiaosi looked up at him and smiled, and continued to turn over the stones, and soon, she was carrying a crab in one hand, happy like a child, shaking her hands, in front of him.
Shi Zeng smiled, pressed his upper eyelids, his forehead wrinkled into a cross, and looked upstream.
What did that roll come from?
Looking back at Le Xiaosi and shouting:
"Sisi, hurry up! The water is rising! Hurry up! ”
Le Xiaosi didn't seem to hear it at all, and continued to bow his head to catch the crab.
He shouted again:
"Sisi! Le Xiaosi! Oops......"
In a panic, he hurriedly rushed over like the middle of a river.
In order to be faster, he almost jumped up and ran, shouting as he ran.
Seeing that the water was getting closer and closer, Le Xiaosi was unaware, and he could only compete with the current coming from the waves.
Finally, when there were still a few steps away, Le Xiaosi heard his shout and looked up.
The distance between him and Le Xiaosi is equal to the distance between the current and Le Xiaosi.
At this time, Le Xiaosi had already begun to panic.
He hurriedly walked over, pulled Le Xiaosi, and turned to face upstream.
When I was a child, I heard my mother say that if the water suddenly rises in the river, as long as the water flow is not particularly large, and the feet stand firmly at the bottom of the water, after the first wave of water, the momentum will slow down a little, and the feet stick to the bottom of the river to move forward steadily, do not lift your feet out of the water, it is easy to lose balance.
Be sure to swim against the current, don't go down the river, your feet will float.
One turned around, the water had already arrived in front of him, Shi Zeng hugged Le Xiaosi tightly, and a steady figure-eight step was stuck at the bottom of the water.
The water rushed past his waist, and the turn was already getting farther and farther away.
After the water head, the depth of the water dropped slightly, but it was still in Le Xiaosi's waist.
It was dark again, and they had to try to get out of the middle of the river.
He asked Le Xiaosi to walk with her feet against the bottom of the river, and pulled her diagonally to the shore.
Le Xiaosi was behind him, walking hard, he slowed down, walked and turned around, it seemed that he was taking a step and pulling Le Xiaosi to take a step.
As we approached the shore, the depth of the water was getting shallower and the speed of progress was faster.
Finally, when his feet left the water, he stepped on the sand and gravel on the shore from the first step, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were not swallowed up by the river, and fortunately, the river was rising within the range they could overcome.
Le Xiaosi suddenly hugged him, buried his head in his arms, and cried.
I thought she should be frightened.
Gently patted her on the shoulder and comforted.
She rubbed tears and snot against his clothes, and looked up with a smile as she cried.
This time he raised his head, and Shi Zeng took three steps back in a panic.
