Chapter 273 Mental and Physical
No matter how difficult the road ahead, now, they must find a way to get ashore.
Because Cheng Ruoke already clearly felt that it was difficult to breathe.
The river is not thorough, and the sky is dark, so the two people can only vaguely see each other's eyes, and they can't speak, only rely on eye contact.
Cheng Ruoke has no confidence at all, because she has no confidence in the level of tacit understanding between her and Zhan Leyan.
At this time, it is completely necessary to have faith and physical endurance to survive.
Zhan Leyan hugged Cheng Ruoke, wrote the word 'hold tight' on her back with his fingers, and then let go of the hands holding her, paddled with both hands and feet at the same time, and jumped out of the water with one force.
Cheng Ruoke hugged Zhan Leyan's waist tightly, and as his body went up, his head exposed to the water.
The two of them breathed desperately, and finally had a chance to speak.
"Don't let go, trust me." Zhan Leyan brushed aside the long hair that was attached to Cheng Ruoke's forehead and dropped a kiss between her eyebrows.
"Let go of me, you go first, I'll swim." Cheng Ruoke didn't want to be a drag on Zhan Leyan, so he suddenly pushed him away.
At this moment, an undercurrent surged in, and the two people were washed away for some distance.
"Left side! Ashore! Zhan Leyan shouted loudly at the place where he was separated from Cheng Ruoke with all his might, and then, after a worried look, he turned around and swam towards the shore on the left.
Cheng Ruoke vaguely heard Zhan Leyan say left, and was about to follow, but was suddenly hit by the undercurrent again, and instantly lost his direction.
She was anxious, which side was the direction of Zhan Leyan?
Cheng Ruoke raised his head from the water again and again, tilting his neck to see the direction of Zhan Leyan.
But it was too dark for her to see anything.
The river was too cold, and she was exhausted, and in the end, she chose a direction and swam as best she could.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt cold, painful and numb, and my hand was paddling the water, and suddenly my feet seemed to step on the bottom of the river.
Cheng Ruoke excitedly kicked forward a few more times, and finally was able to stand up from the water.
When she reached the shore, she no longer had any strength, and lay on the rocky beach by the river, and fell asleep.
When I woke up, the moon was in the sky and there were few stars.
Cheng Ruoke stretched her limbs and moved her body, and found that there seemed to be no other injuries except for some headaches, so she immediately got up and wanted to figure out the current environment.
Fortunately, the moon came out, and the bright white moonlight shrouded the whole world in a layer of white sand, and all the objects that caught the eye seemed to be like the scenery in a dream.
Cheng Ruoke even felt for a moment that he had just had a dream.
But a faint headache reminded her that it was true, that she and Zhan Leyan were framed, the car fell into the river, and then, they dispersed.
She doesn't regret pushing the words when she's in the water, because she knows that the instinctive reaction of people will hold on to the rescuer when they're in the water, and often the result is that both people are in danger.
She is unwilling to drag down Zhan Leyan because of herself, especially in times of crisis, she can't stand Zhan Leyan's desperate protection.
Cheng Ruoke wrung out the water on his clothes and hair, curled his long wet hair into a ball, and randomly found a small wooden stick to fix it.
Then, she began to look at her surroundings.
It was the periphery of a wood, perhaps because the water was slowing down here, and there were many pebbles along the river, smooth and round, and she had just been exhausted from lying on them.
The pebbles stretched out to the shore as a meadow, and beyond that, there were the woods, the trees were fine, the trunks of which varied in thickness, and although there was moonlight, the woods were still a little frighteningly dark because of the canopy.
Cheng Ruoke didn't dare to act rashly, she found a fairly large stone, stood on it, and shouted Zhan Leyan's name loudly to the upstream and downstream, as well as the opposite bank.
"Zhan Leyan!" Cheng Ruoke shouted loudly until his voice was too hoarse to shout, and he didn't get any other response except for waking up the sleeping birds in the night.
She squatted on the stone in frustration, anxious and powerless.
If only the phone hadn't been lost, they could reach each other by phone, or, if she hadn't been separated from him, maybe they could work together to find the way out of the wilderness.
"You'd better give me a good life, I haven't sued you for warm child support, and my son can't be a poor baby without a father......"
"Ever since you appeared in my world, I seem to have been unlucky, what did I do to you in my last life?"
She sat on the stone and talked to herself, so that she could hear herself all the time, so that she was not so afraid.
Someone must have found out that something had happened to them, right? Did Jason and Lin Sheng come back to save them? Witnesses will call the police, right?
She was cranky and talked to herself, if anyone passed by and saw Cheng Ruoke at this time, they must think that she was a stupid girl who ran out of the house because of nervous problems.
Time passed little by little, and the moisture on her body made her colder and colder, and the night was dark, Cheng Ruoke's head became more and more dizzy.
But she knew that she couldn't sit still like this anymore, she had to go to Zhan Leyan.
In case of...... What happened to him......
Thinking of this, Cheng Ruoke immediately got down from the stone and walked upstream along the riverbank.
When they separated, she drifted downstream again I don't know how far, so Cheng Ruoke decided to go back to find Zhan Leyan.
The further upstream you go, the more difficult it is to walk along the riverbank, especially on the fast-flowing bank, where there are almost no roads.
Cheng Ruoke could only bypass the steep river bank and walk along the edge of the woods.
As he walked, he shouted Zhan Leyan's name.
Birds kept flying out of the woods, flapping their wings and making a rustling sound, which frightened Cheng Ruoke's heart.
Occasionally, there would be a cry of an unknown animal, Cheng Ruoke would stop and look vigilantly at the place where the sound came from, the only thing that made her less worried was that it was not so far from the human activity area, and there would be no large animals like wolves.
A cloud flowed by, obscuring the moon, and the sky and the earth were instantly pitch black.
Zhan Leyan...... Where are you? Cheng Ruoke's voice trembled, trembling and hugging his body and shouting.
She was already dizzy and couldn't see the way.
There was a wind blowing, the woods were brushing, and Cheng Ruoke walked along the river bank one deep and one shallow, his body getting colder and colder.
"Zhan Leyan, you bastard! Why don't you look for me? Where the hell have you been? Saying that, she still insisted on looking for him.
Is he on the other side? Or is he misremembering the direction and he is downstream?
The more he thought about it, the more Cheng Ruoke felt bottomless, and the more chaotic his feet became, he fell to the ground several times, and his knees and calves were scratched and bruised by stones and branches, causing many small wounds.
But she still didn't give up, shouting as she walked, stopping from time to time to listen to the movements around her, for fear of missing Zhan Leyan's shouts.
A round and wet stone under her feet, Cheng Ruoke didn't pay attention, stepped on it, and the whole person fell to the ground, and she almost fainted in pain.
When she tried to get up again, she found that her ankle had broken.
Now, it is called the heavens and the earth.
"Help......" She no longer shouted 'Zhan Le Yan', 'help' might be more useful.
After shouting for a long time, she was so tired that she gave up.
She jumped to her feet, found a branch from the side to use as a crutch, and then, towards the opposite bank, shouted with the last of her strength, "Zhan Leyan...... Can you hear me? ”
If Zhan Leyan was upstream, she should have come to her a long time ago, so she must have been looking in the wrong direction just now.
Zhan Leyan was looking for Cheng Ruoke along the riverbank, and suddenly heard a faint sound floating upstream along the wind, and was pleasantly surprised.
"Ruoruo!" Zhan Leyan responded loudly.
When Cheng Ruoke clearly heard Zhan Leyan's voice, he was so excited that he almost cried.
"Zhan Leyan, I'm here!" She stood in place, raising the wooden stick in her hand and waving it, hoping that this would be seen by Zhan Leyan.
When Zhan Leyan's running figure appeared in her sight, Cheng Ruoke finally lost his strength and fell to the ground.
"Ruoruo......" Zhan Leyan quickly ran in front of Cheng Ruoke, and took the person into his arms tightly.
"Good thing you're okay." He hugged her and kept kissing the top of her head, forehead, eyebrows, nose, and finally, the cold lips fell on Cheng Ruoke's still trembling lips.
Cheng Ruoke recovered from her excitement, only to realize that she was being held in Zhan Leyan's arms, and his flexible tongue was teasing her mouth.
"Woo woo......" Cheng Ruoke pushed Zhan Leyan's chest, trying to break free.
Zhan Leyan let go of her and rested his chin on the top of Cheng Ruoke's head.
"I thought you were downstream, and you walked a long, long way and didn't find it, so I tried to return the same way......"
"We really don't have a tacit understanding," Cheng Ruoke smiled bitterly, "I thought you were upstream." ”
Thought......
It's all about thinking.
Perhaps from the beginning, those misunderstandings and unpleasantness between them were all because the two people were always thinking about each other in their own ways.
Even when thinking about the other party, it always backfires and backfires.
"Are there any injuries?" Zhan Leyan checked Cheng Ruoke's situation.
"My foot seems to be broken." Cheng Ruoke stretched out his swollen left ankle.
She tried to ignore Zhan Leyan's frowning brow and suddenly changed color.
"I ...... You can go on your own and it won't cause you trouble......"
In fact, Cheng Ruoke knew that Zhan Leyan was worried about her, but ...... She didn't want to admit it.
Because accepting his care and worries, and accepting his feelings, is equivalent to having endured more than three years of suffering in vain.
She's not a ruthless person, but she's not a compromising person either.
The gap between them for more than three years should not be like a couple reunited after a long absence, because when she was working hard to bring warmth alone, no matter for what reason or reason, he was married to his own unmarried.
Although intellectually speaking, she should forgive his 'continuation', but psychologically, she is like a cleanliness addict.
