Chapter 8: On the Shore
"Liu Tong!" Seeing that Liu Tong turned around and was about to jump into the lake, Shi Yuan shouted her name. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Are you going to persuade me not to go in?" Liu Tong heard that Shi Yuan was also calling her, she was a little angry, and turned her head sharply to shout like this, but when she saw Shi Yuan, she suddenly couldn't speak, so she held back the sentence.
"Don't get me wrong, I know you thought I was going to persuade you too. I can see that you are a person who will definitely go on as long as you identify a path, and no matter how much others persuade you, I am afraid that they will not be able to make you change your mind. I'm not going to stop you, but I know a little bit more about this place, it's very dangerous, and it's definitely not just from the lake itself. If you're going to go down, I want to minimize the danger. ”
As he spoke, Shi Yuan took out a roll of rope from his backpack, handed it to Liu Tong, and continued: "Please tie one end of this rope around your waist and give me the other end." When you dive down, if you feel danger, even if it's just an indescribable sense of danger, you have to pull the rope quickly and immediately, and I'll pull you up. ”
Liu Tong was a little stupid, and he didn't know what to say for a while. She stared blankly at the rope, hesitated slightly, then took it and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Liu Tong wrapped a rope around his waist, tied a knot firmly, turned his head to look at Shi Yuan, and then walked towards the lake.
The water on the edge of Ant Lake is very shallow, and Liu Tong walked in at a normal walking speed, and after a few meters, he plunged into it.
"She's a good swimmer?" Shi Yuan grabbed the rope and asked the two girls next to him.
"Well, yes, she is a swimming specialty, a national first-class athlete, and the level of swimming is needless to say." One of the girls said proudly, as if the honor of her friend was her honor.
"Your name is Kotoyu?"
"Well, Song Qinyu. Liu Tong and I are neighbors and roommates, and we have known each other for a long time. ”
Shi Yuan nodded, but noticed another girl. When he asked Liu Tong if she was good at swimming, the girl's expression was completely different from Song Qinyu's, not only did she not have the slightest joy, but she was even faintly unhappy. Since Liu Tong entered the lake, she has been staring at the lake intently, the expression on her face is not so much worried as anxious, and it seems to be mixed with some other emotions.
"Your name is glaze, isn't it?" Shi Yuan asked the girl.
"Oh, yes, my name is Su Glaze, and I was a classmate in high school with Liu Tong, but I didn't expect to be in the same class when I got to college, it's really fate." Su Glaze came back to his senses and said to Shi Yuan.
After speaking, Su Glaze turned his gaze back to the lake again, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he walked quickly to Shi Yuan's side and said, "Ah, Liu Tong has entered the lake, in case there is danger, such as encountering a water monster or something...... Oh, I'm not talking nonsense! I really heard a strange cry just now. In case, I mean in case, that water monster catches Liu Tong, I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it at all, so I'll help you pull it together. It's not dangerous yet, but you have to be prepared, right? ”
"Well, okay, then you can pull the rope too." Shi Yuan didn't think too much about it, but he had some doubts about the cry she mentioned.
Call...... Is there something unusual around here?
"My name is Su glaze, glaze of glaze. Everyone said that my name has the classical temperament of everyone's ladies and is very different, and people can't help but think of the art of painting when they hear it. Hey, by the way, are you interested in art? ”
Su Glaze held the rope with both hands, and her left hand was only less than a centimeter away from Shi Yuan's hand. She adjusted the position of her hands while talking to Shi Yuan. Song Qinyu on the other side glanced at Su Glaze, with a hint of disgust in her eyes, but soon looked at the lake again, worried about her friend.
"Art, I'm sorry I don't know much about it. I'm a high school student, and I'm usually very busy with my studies, and I basically don't have time to get in touch with art or anything. Also, I'm not too interested in art. ”
"Oh, that's right," Su Glaze didn't seem discouraged, and continued to speak, "You're a high school student?" I thought you were a college student like us. There are a few of us, and we're sophomores at the beginning of the school year. What about you? ”
"I ......" Speaking of this topic, Shi Yuan was a little embarrassed, "I started my second year of high school." ”
"Oh, is it? It's so small. Su Glaze said with a little regret.
"When I was in junior high school, I took a year off because I was sick. So, although I started my second year of high school, I was already seventeen years old. Shi Yuan said.
"Really? Seventeen years old? Heck, I'm not an adult. When you become an adult, you can do a lot of things that you couldn't do before. As he spoke, Su Glaze's hand moved a few millimeters closer to Shi Yuan's hand.
"For example, sneaking away from your family to an unknown village?" Shi Yuan said.
"You...... How do you know? Su Glaze's eyes widened in surprise.
Shi Yuan smiled and said, "This is not important. Well? Seems like a long time, right? Why hasn't Liu Tong moved? Will there be any danger? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, Liu Tong's ability to hold her breath underwater is super strong, and many male team members can't compare to her. This little bit of time is nothing to her at all. I'm just worried that the water is too cold and she'll get sick. Also, will there be any danger underwater? Song Qinyu said.
The conversation on the shore, Liu Tong, who was underwater, naturally had no idea. At this moment, her mind is full of her mother, and her warm and loving face is like a knife when she thinks about it now.
Mom, where the hell are you?
Liu Tong thought in his heart, and unconsciously dived deeper and deeper.
It was already dark, and it was even darker underwater. Liu Tong skillfully went downstream, while carefully observing everything around him. She controlled the rhythm of her breathing, and bubble after bubble slowly floated upward.
She kept moving downward, her limbs paddling the water around her, the flow of water emitting its characteristic somewhat dull gurgling sound.
When she was close to the lake, she didn't see any fish, no aquatic weeds, and she felt that it was too pure as a naturally occurring water, like a swimming pool.
However, the further down she went, the more she felt that something was wrong. She felt some eyes watching her in the dark. She suddenly felt a little nervous, and quickly turned her head to look around, her body making a horizontal rotation of three hundred and sixty degrees, but she didn't see anything.
Underwater, it's still so clear and transparent, but it looks very dark, like diluted ink.
She suddenly recalled Shi Yuan's words. (To be continued.) )
