But she never thought about asking Shen Yutang to leave her alone, because it was impossible.
She sat on the wooden board, not daring to move. Shen Yutang held on to the wooden board, and the two of them continued to drift downward.
It was too cold, her soaked clothes clung to her body, and the sunlight shone down as if through ice, making her unable to feel the warmth.
An Ning was sitting on the wooden board like this. What would happen to Shen Yutang who had been soaking in the water? An Ning didn't dare to think about it. She bit her lips that were blue and purple from the cold and persisted silently.
I don’t know how much time passed.
An Ning was drowsy, but Shen Yutang suddenly looked forward like a wolf.
Shen Yutang's voice was still calm and reliable, "An Ning, sit tight. We have to pass a relatively narrow shoal ahead. There is a bridge there. I will look for an opportunity to get ashore."
An Ning was already dizzy at this time. Her health was really bad. She steeled herself and said, "Okay, what can I do for you?"
"You don't have to do anything. Just sit still and I will take you ashore. But listen carefully. If you fall, I won't be able to get ashore."
Shen Yutang, who had been feeling a little groggy at first, suddenly became nervous when he heard that she had fallen and was unable to get ashore. He stretched out his little hand to grab the edge of the board.
She trusted Shen Yutang. If Shen Yutang said he would take her ashore, he would definitely take her ashore.
In the blink of an eye, they floated to the place that Shen Yutang liked. With Shen Yutang's efforts to deflect, they successfully floated to a pillar under the bridge. The pillar blocked their downward trend, and they stopped for the first time.
Shen Yutang looked around. The bridge was very old, with moss growing in some places. It looked deserted and no one was walking on it. It was not practical to wait for pedestrians to rescue it here.
The main reason is that An Ning can no longer hold on.
This section is a shoal area, so you must find a way to reach the shore.
Shen Yutang rested against the bridge pillar and moved his almost stiff wrist. He reached out and touched An Ning's forehead. Sure enough, it had started to feel warm.
Shen Yutang stopped resting, took a deep breath, used the bridge pillars to use his strength, pushed the board and jumped to the right.
He tried to lean to the right, looking for anything to use his strength on.
When you can't borrow any strength, swim by yourself. Take advantage of this section of the river when the current is not strong to get ashore quickly.
With An Ning by his side, he will not die and he will definitely take An Ning ashore.
They were slowly approaching the shore, but there was always a distance between them and they could not get closer.
Suddenly, Shen Yutang's eyes lit up as he looked ahead.
It must have been due to high tide or heavy rain a few days ago that a big tree fell down and lay across the river.
As long as they can get over, they can grab the big tree and follow it to the shore.
Shen Yutang pushed the board and said to An Ning: "An Ning, we will be able to go ashore soon, but I need your help."
An Ning, who was in a daze, heard that Shen Yutang wanted to help, and subconsciously asked: "What do you need me to do?"
Shen Yutang said seriously: "Now I want to throw away the board and swim with all my strength. I will carry you, but you need to hold on to me. No matter what, you must never let me go. Can you do it?"
Shen Yutang knew that An Ning was weak, but now was their chance to go ashore. If they didn't go ashore, An Ning would really be unable to hold on.
An Ning was in a daze. She only knew that she could help Shen Yutang. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can do it."
Shen Yutang took An Ning off the board and threw the board away with the courage to sink the boat.
If they couldn't get ashore this time and An Ning couldn't survive, it would be useless for him to hold a life-saving plank. They would have no way out.
An Ning fell into the water, and the cold river water made her tremble.
Shen Yutang kissed An Ning's face and coaxed gently: "It's okay, the cold will stop soon."
Shen Yutang carried An Ning on his back, "An Ning, put your arms around my neck now."
An Ning obediently hugged Shen Yutang's neck.
Shen Yutang warned again: "Aning, hold on tight, I'm going to let go."
"good."
Shen Yutang let go of his hand, and An Ning hugged Shen Yutang's neck tightly.
An Ning was trembling, not only cold, but also distressed. She saw a large bloody injury on Shen Yutang's back. He was injured in the explosion, but he never said anything.
The wound had been soaked in water for too long and turned an oozing white color.
An Ning's tears fell on Shen Yutang's back drop by drop. How could he carry her so far like a normal person after suffering such a serious injury?
How much pain should he have?
Tears mixed with the river water and fell on Shen Yutang's back. Shen Yutang couldn't feel anything.
An Ning cried silently and hugged Shen Yutang's neck tightly.
Shen Yutang said that if she fell, Shen Yutang would not be able to get to the shore.
She is Shen Yutang's hope for living, she cannot die.
There has never been a moment when An Ning had such a strong desire to survive.
Without the need to support the board, Shen Yutang let go of his hands and feet and swam towards the fallen tree in front of him.
It's getting closer, getting closer.
In Shen Yutang's eyes, there was only the green of the big tree. That green was Aning's hope for survival, and the little hand holding him around his neck was Shen Yutang's motivation to fight hard.
He successfully grabbed a section of the tree trunk!
But at this moment, the hand holding him suddenly let go.
An Ning exhausted all her strength. She wanted to shout, but she was speechless. No, don't do this!
Shen Yutang had always been paying attention to An Ning, and he shouted with fear: "An Ning!"
An Ning heard Shen Yutang's painful cry and desperately stretched out her hand towards Shen Yutang.
Shen Yutang turned around and grabbed the hand that An Ning tried to reach out to him.
He grabbed Tranquility with one hand and the tree trunk with the other.
He suddenly pulled An Ning into his arms, and the two of them moved forward. Shen Yutang leaned his back against the trunk of the big tree, holding An Ning tightly with both hands.
The joy of regaining something that was lost made Shen Yutang breathe quickly.
An Ning leaned in Shen Yutang's arms, shedding tears silently, her voice too weak to be heard: "Shen Yutang, I'm sorry, I...I couldn't catch you."
Shen Yutang was also trembling, not from cold, but from fear. He trembled: "It's okay, you can't catch me, but I have caught you, and I will catch you and never let go."
An Ning heard Shen Yutang's words clearly, leaned against Shen Yutang, and fainted.
At that moment before, if An Ning was really swallowed by the river, Shen Yutang would not have the motivation to go ashore even if he grabbed the tree trunk.
Shen Yutang hugged An Ning and followed the big tree across the water to the shore.
I don’t know where this place is, it looks like a deserted island, but I finally landed.
Shen Yutang carried the unconscious An Ning and walked to the front shore. As long as An Ning could hold on, he would be fine. There was a positioning chip in his body, and Song Jing and the others could find him.
Obviously it was Shen Yutang who had worked hard all the way, and it was Shen Yutang who was seriously injured in the explosion. However, Shen Yutang seems to be fine now, while An Ning has a high fever and is comatose, and looks to be in very bad condition.
When they went ashore, the situation was not much better. They were soaked all over, and the wind in the forest would make An Ning's condition worse.
If we don't do something, An Ning won't be able to survive until Song Jing and the others find him.
