Chapter 347: Someone in the Shadows
"But it's scary, and I'm scared when I see myself in the mirror, I ...... That's what I'm like, it's okay. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Don't be bitter about yourself, I really don't mind, you must be very uncomfortable, uncover it." I reassured.
"No, I'm fine." Xu Lingling was very stubborn, and in the end she still kept putting the veil on her face, maybe she felt that this was also out of being more comfortable, and I couldn't force it.
Turning over and wanting to stand up and move, Xu Lingling stopped me when he saw my movements: "Su Wu, you sit still first, slow down, it will be better." ā
"Hmm." I picked up the clothes that were right next to me and put them on slowly.
"You have a wound in the abdomen, what's going on?"
"Huh?" I looked down at my stomach, it was bandaged before, but now it's gone, I don't know when it was washed away in the water, only a finger-long wound is slightly cracked, since the knife wound has not really recuperated, but it is considered to be a better recovery, it is estimated that it was hit by a big fish in the water, torn, otherwise it would be much better.
"Someone plotted against me." I laughed.
"Oh." Xu Lingling didn't ask much, but he was thoughtful.
The atmosphere seemed a little heavy, and just as I was stunned, I thought of a question, the shore where we were was was half a meter from the water, how did Xu Lingling move me up? This is not a slope, the shore is a vertical slope, and it is impossible for me to climb up, after all, there is no focus point in the water, let alone carrying a person? How did she do it?
I opened my mouth and said, "Xu Lingling, how did you get me here?" ā
"I ...... I just jumped into the water and ...... Push you ashore. She was a little slurred, and her words were slurred.
No way! With Xu Lingling's bloated body, if she goes into the water by herself, she may not be able to come up even if she climbs the rope, she is obviously lying, what is going on? What else is she hiding?
I chuckled in my heart, turned around and asked, "Xu Lingling, how exactly did you rescue me?" Can you tell us about the process? ā
"Well, well, after you went into the water for nearly two minutes, I was always paying attention to the water situation, until I found that there were bubbles floating, thinking that you were about to come out, but it didn't, I was worried that something would happen to you underwater, so I decisively pulled the rope to pull you up, but only pulled a small section, no matter how I pulled, I couldn't pull it anymore, as if it was stuck, I knew it was not good, and immediately ran back to fix the rope." Xu Lingling said and pointed to the side of the big tree.
I looked at it, and it was true, the rope at the end of the tree was wrapped around a few times, and now the rope was straight and tight, and one end was still running down the shore to the water.
"Then, I went into the water along the rope, and before the rope reached the end, I touched your weak arm, and I knew that you must have drowned, and tried to pull you up but couldn't pull it, so I had to dive down again and find that your feet were stirred by the aquatic weeds, and I ripped off the aquatic weeds on your feet with the digging buckles, which pulled you out of the water, but at that time you were completely unconscious." Xu Lingling paused for a moment when he said this.
She said that there should be nothing wrong with it so far, it fits perfectly under the water, but then that's the point, and I don't know how she wants to describe it.
She stopped for a short time, at least two minutes of silence and did not continue to speak, I couldn't help but urge, "What's next?" How did you get me to shore? ā
"Next...... Next, I climbed up the rope and pulled you up, then pressed your chest until you woke up. Xu Lingling replied immediately as if he had just woken up from a dream.
I shook my head slightly: "If you come up first, then I will definitely be swept away by this current." ā
"I blocked you with a rope, and the current swept you away."
"Even if I float on the surface of the lake and am caught by the rope, the rope is at an oblique angle, and you can't get me if you lie on the shore."
"I could, I pulled the rope and then ......"
I accentuated my tone and interrupted her: "Xu Lingling, is there anyone else?" Are you still hiding something from me? ā
She fell silent again.
I sighed deeply, I couldn't figure out what she was trying to hide, but she shouldn't have any ill will towards me at the moment, so I slowed down and said, "Forget it, I'll do what I promised you first." ā
I stood up, the cold wind swishing, and I couldn't help but shudder with my hands in my arms.
"Su Wu," Xu Lingling took a few steps closer to me, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "At that time, I didn't get you ashore, and it was true that someone helped us to come up, but after he rescued us, he warned me not to reveal his whereabouts, so ...... That's all I can say, please understand. ā
Sure enough, there were other people, and I couldn't help but say, "Who is it?" He's still nearby? ā
She shook her head resolutely: "I really can't say more. ā
One head and two big, I feel like being played around, looking at Xu Lingling's appearance, I won't talk much about this topic, is it her accomplice? She still has accomplices nearby? Then why did she ask me to go into the water and help her get something? Why not do it with her accomplices? Instead, let me, someone who is a variable to them, help her? Is it because it's too dangerous or what? I really can't figure it out.
But Xu Lingling said it clearly, then I also added a little caution, there are still people in the shadows around here!
"Okay." I won't get anything out of her mouth if I try to think about it, and the torches won't last long, so we'll have to speed up.
I pulled the rope and dragged it up hard, and made a few efforts, but it had no effect, no wonder Xu Lingling said that he couldn't pull it, how could the plastic bag at the bottom of the lake sink so deeply.
Xu Lingling also ran over and grabbed the rope behind me: "Let's pull together." ā
"What's the quality of that bag? And how is the rope tied up? If we pull desperately, if the plastic bag is broken, or the rope on it is slippery, it will be difficult to find. "I expressed my concerns, if her gold and silver are scattered, then the east and west will be swept away by the water, and it will really be wasted.
"It's okay, it shouldn't be able to rip it off, let's work harder."
Since she said so, I nodded, and both of them used their strength, cooperating with the rope to pull back, and after several attempts, it finally loosened, and we took a step back at the same time, and the plastic bag should have been pulled out of the sludge, which was easy to do.
