Chapter 003: Drowning
When I went out, the sky was already a little dark, and there were large areas of brilliant fiery clouds in the western sky, and the dim light shone obliquely, elongating the figures of me and Mantou.
The shadows of the trees by the river and the breeze sweep through it, bringing a unique smell of early summer. The occasional birdsong makes the woods even more quiet.
Mantou and I walked east along the tree-lined path by the river.
The steamed bun whined at my feet, I looked down at it, and whispered to it: "What are you anxious about? ”
Although he said this, he raised his hand high and threw the tennis ball in his hand into the distance.
Picking up tennis balls is a game it never tires of.
As soon as Mantou saw that I threw the tennis ball out, he spread his four paws and ran over, ran after the tennis ball for a long time, and then grabbed it, turned around and ran back to me happily.
When it ran in front of me, it wagged its tail and looked at me with excitement on its face.
I smiled softly, took the tennis ball from its mouth, threw it out again according to the grass in front of me, and shouted, "Steamed buns!" Go pick it up! ”
The steamed bun squealed, turned and ran towards the grass.
I swung my arms and followed it slowly, and after a few steps, I saw the steamed bun walking through a clump of reeds into the river.
I frowned slightly, could it be that I threw the tennis ball into the river?
Thinking of this, I trotted two steps, walked to the side of the steamed bun and looked into the river, but no, the ball was just floating on the water not far away.
Stir up waves of water one after another.
Mantou looked at the tennis ball, then looked at me, and screamed in his mouth, I reached out and slapped it, glared and said, "Don't scream, stay honest, I'll pick it up for you!" ”
The steamed bun seemed to understand my words, and only kept walking around on the side, whining quietly in his mouth.
I reached out and plucked a green reed branch, tore off the leaves on it, and then stretched out as far forward as I could, and pulled the tennis ball hard with the reed branch, and the tennis ball moved slightly, and slowly floated along with my strength, and when it was about to reach in front of me, I took a small step forward, and reached down to bend down to pick it up.
I looked down at the tennis ball, and suddenly my heart moved, and the hairs on my body immediately stood on end.
The tennis ball weighed two or three hundred grams, and when it fell into the water at this time, how could it float, it should have sunk!
I was so shocked that I was about to retreat, but the soles of my feet slipped and I fell into the water!
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grab the reed next to me, but my ankle was tightened, as if I was suddenly caught by a pair of hands, I didn't have time to scream, those hands were slightly forced, my body was stunned, and I sank into the water in an instant.
I desperately held my breath, waving my hands to try to swim upstream, but my heart was almost crazy with fear, how could it be! It felt so clear, it was clear that someone was pulling me down!
But how can there be people in this river? But if it's not human, then what?
If it weren't for the water, I think I would have been scared to tears.
Rao is how much self-defense I will have, and at this moment, I can only accept my fate.
I was shocked and frightened, my consciousness began to drift, my heart became desperate little by little, I held my breath hard, my mind gradually became chaotic, my body slowly stiffened, just a second before I lost consciousness, through the clear river, through the faint light on the water, I saw a human face gradually emerge from the dark bottom of the water.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and he was actually the man I befriended last night.
He floated slowly up along my body.
My eyes widened suddenly, and I saw him stretch out a white and almost transparent palm and put it on my face, his narrow eyes stared at my face, and called softly: "Yan Qiao, I'm coming to pick you up......"
