Huang Xiaoyun wore a milky white ruffled dress, and the edge of her underwear was vaguely visible after it was wet. Upon seeing this, Liu Yanyu took off her coat and put it on for her.
The people on the shore looked at each other, and no one was willing to give Huang Xiaoyun artificial respiration.
Several coughs were heard.
Huang Xiaoyun turned his head and spit out the river water that had hit his throat. The water droplets on his face slid down the side of his face. His chest heaved up and down, and his breathing slowly returned to normal.
Qian Yushu rescued Chen Yan, just like Huang Xiaoyun, but only choked a few mouthfuls of river water.
Du Lili waited eagerly by the river, but finally saw a man named Xu Yuan swimming over.
"I searched for a long time, but there was no one else down there."
As he made a wish, he climbed ashore, sat down on the fine white sand, wiped the water off his face with his left and right hands, and continued:
"It's really strange. I saw several big black fish with arms and legs. They are so long."
He gestured with both hands, almost half a meter in length, with crystal clear scales, a huge fish head, two thick and long beards floating on both sides of the thick smile curved lips, and the fish tail and two feet were swimming in the water.
The most chilling thing is the fish's pair of round, glowing green eyes.
If I take another look, my limbs become inexplicably sluggish, my brain seems to be stuck, and I don't know what I am doing.
If Du Li hadn't kept shouting the wishing name, he was really afraid that he would never come out of the water again.
"Have you seen the child?"
Xu Yuan looked at Du Li in confusion and muttered: "There are no children among the people here! This girl talks really interestingly."
Liu Yanyu and Lin Zeyu both listened to the conversation between the two people word for word.
The remaining two people were definitely Shang Yu and Yu Niao. After all this time, the water was still calm, and it was impossible to tell that something had happened before.
Everyone realized the strangeness of the river and the stone bridge, and no longer dared to go into the water to look for anyone, and returned to their tents one after another.
The timid ones crowded into other people's tents.
Lin Zeyu found Xu Wan and told him what he had witnessed with his own eyes.
I broke into a cold sweat when I made a wish, my mouth was inexplicably dry, and I had lingering fears.
"No matter what, you and that Brother Qian are really good guys! I admire you very much."
He made a wish but did not dare to keep it, he blushed and lowered his head without saying a word.
The atmosphere of silence seemed to solidify.
Lin Zeyu walked out of the wish-making tent and looked up to see Qian Yushu walking towards the river. He said hello and reminded Qian Yushu not to continue approaching.
"Thank you, I'm still worried. You should go back and rest first."
After saying that, Qian Yushu continued to walk straight to the river, stepping on the wet soil and walking along the edge.
The surface of the river is always like a mirror, reflecting the bright moonlight, and also reflects the anxious look of Qian Yushu.
When he was tired from walking, he sat down on a clump of new green grass, his wet clothes wet the small leaves.
The other side of the river was hidden in darkness, so dark that it was completely invisible.
The moonlight is generous to everyone, but it is stingy to the other side of the river.
Waves of wind carrying the smell of wet soil mixed with blood blew over the quiet water.
Circles of ripples slowly bloomed.
With a sigh, Shang Yu hurriedly leaned down and put his left ear close to his pale lips:
"Shang Yu, is that you?"
Shang Yu replied in a low voice, gently pinched the back of his curled hand, and told her not to talk for the time being and to continue resting.
Maybe it's fate.
He jumped into the river for no reason but met her struggling in the water.
So close, he could reach out and grab her cold little hand.
There was a glistening light in the water, enough to see clearly that the two horrific wounds on her back were still bleeding.
Because of the blood, the strange black fish swimming around did not get any closer, and left in disgust not long after.
He put one hand around her soft waist and swam to the other side of the river. After briefly treating the wound, in order to make her more comfortable, he held up the back of her head with his palm.
He finally waited until she spoke, and his frown gradually relaxed.
"……cold"
Shang Yu hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up Yu Niao and let her lean into his arms, rubbing her arms awkwardly to avoid hypothermia.
Yu Niao made a comfortable purring sound like a cat, rubbing his little head against Shang Yu's chest, adjusting the most suitable posture.
The skirt of his clothes is obviously very wet, why is it so warm when leaning on it?
Like the blazing sun.
Like a warm breeze.
She couldn't help but hug his arm tightly, shrinking and leaning closer.
"If I can go back alive, I must learn to swim."
Shang Yu was stunned for a few seconds and almost laughed out loud. He thought she would say something extraordinary.
"I know, cough, cough, cough, you are laughing at me, I am serious!"
Yu Niao felt that she had once again passed through the gate of hell. Survival was not easy and good luck was limited.
Not every negotiation can lead to rescue accurately. It is better to die miserably than to be a water ghost.
"Yeah." Shang Yu supported Yu Niao's decision.
Yu Niao counted his heartbeats and continued: "Becoming a companion with you is my most rational decision."
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't answer and coughed several times:
"I walked onto the bridge for no reason. I was very conscious but couldn't control myself.
When I jumped down, my heart almost jumped out of my chest, and the water seemed to take away my consciousness.
By the time I reacted, you had already dragged me ashore."
Shang Yu's feeling was similar, but when he tried to swim in the water, he regained consciousness earlier than Yu Niao.
Strange to say, at that moment he heard Shang Bai calling him.
"We were not the only ones who jumped off the bridge, there was also Huang Xiaoyun, and the other one I don't know was a girl."
As Shang Yu talked, he thought about whether they had done the same thing to trigger the bridge and the river.
"Before I went on the bridge, Xiaoyun was on the stone bridge. You have been on it too, could it be..."
Before Yu Niao finished speaking, she felt Shang Yu's heartbeat speeding up.
"Probably. If so, we have to be careful when we get on the bridge, there are snakehead fish in the river."
The child who salvaged garbage, jumped into the river and disappeared without any reason, the smell of blood from which the source was unknown...
There is no crisis on the surface, maybe it has already been close to anyone.
"Ding Zhen has a gun on him," Yu Niao suddenly remembered, and An Fang's heart panicked again, "He and Qiu Yali are not good people. You must be careful when dealing with them."
"Do you know the absolute safe zone now?" Shang Yu knew that Ding Zhen had weapons in his hands, otherwise he would not be so arrogant.
"Well, the map here has already appeared in my mind. You..."
Shang Yu interrupted Yu Niao's words, put his hands on her shoulders, and said solemnly:
"You go find the absolute safe zone now. When the right opportunity comes, I will come here to find you."
The wounds on Yu Niao's body will not be able to heal on their own for a while. If we take her back to the other side now, it will be equivalent to sending her into the tiger's mouth.
"You have to control yourself even if you're scared to death, understand?"
Of course Yu Niao understands, but she doesn't understand why Shang Yu seems to be worried about herself. Is this just her own illusion?
