The water pool in the cave goes deep into the ground, and the water temperature is freezing cold.
Zhou Qing, who jumped into the water, was aroused by the coldness and shivered. She never expected that the temperature in the water was so low.
There was no light source in the water, it was almost pitch black. Looking back, the place where I jumped into the water just now was also swallowed up by darkness, and there was no light at all.
Zhou Qing regretted going into the water without being prepared. Unfortunately, there was no way out, so she had no choice but to swim forward.
Unable to see the road clearly, she touched the stone wall next to her with her hand and swam toward the open space. Just after swimming for a while, the brows on her face suddenly tightened and her face became distorted.
It hurts! The muscles in my left leg seemed to be twisted together, and there was a tearing pain!
Under the sudden temperature difference, she suffered leg cramps without doing any warm-up exercises.
Just now, I was so shy that I forgot about Li Xiao's instructions before entering the water.
Fortunately, this kind of thing happened several times when Zhou Qingyi was learning to swim. Zhou Qing did not panic. She clung to the underwater stone wall and pushed her painful and cramped leg on the bulge of the stone wall.
Once, twice, three times...
I kicked my legs back and forth a few times to stretch, and the tight muscles in my legs relaxed a lot, and the pain also eased a lot.
Bubbles were spitting out from his mouth, but Zhou Qing did not stop any more and hurriedly continued swimming forward.
Li Xiao was right, the distance of the underwater passage was not long, and with the faint light, she had already seen the bright exit.
Fifteen meters, ten meters, eight meters...
Now that the exit has been found, Zhou Qing also let go of his grip on the rock wall and swam toward the light with all his strength.
Seeing that the exit was right in front of her, something went wrong with her left leg again. The muscles in her thighs contracted suddenly, curling up her calves tightly. The stiff muscles seemed to be separated from their masters. She refused to obey the command and was still fussy at the same time.
It was trembling.
With nowhere to borrow strength, Zhou Qing could only use her hands to try to straighten her legs. She beat her leg muscles hard, but to no avail.
The last trace of air from his mouth was exhaled, and Zhou Qing's face gradually turned red from holding back.
She is suffocating!
The duration of muscle spasm is usually not too long, usually only about ten seconds, and rarely exceeds a minute.
If this thing had happened on the ground, Zhou Qing would have been able to bear the pain in this short time, but it was a pity that she was in the water at the moment!
After more than ten seconds, the spasm in his legs eased, but Zhou Qing continued to writhe and struggle.
Her empty lungs instinctively breathed in, but what she sucked into her mouth and nose was liquid! The river water poured into her lungs along the trachea, as if it was going to burst her lungs.
Zhou Qing's struggling movements became slower and slower, and when he opened his eyes wide, he saw patches of black shadow.
She had no strength to struggle anymore and could only let her body fall into the depths. The last thing she saw was that the exit near Chi Chi was getting further and further away from her.
The darkness swallowed her completely...
What Zhou Qing didn't know was that the second she lost consciousness, the light at the exit of the underground river swayed a few times.
A big hand grabbed her arm, and the next moment, strong arms were hugging her around the waist.
"Wow!"
The water surface was churning, and Li Xiao dragged the unconscious Zhou Qing to the shore.
Her wet hair was still dripping with water, and she didn't bother to wipe it off at the moment. Li Xiao put Zhou Qing on the ground, folded his hands, and pressed her chest hard.
"I told you not to come out, but you insisted on following! What happened? You're so stupid that you can't even cross a small pond! Didn't you say you can swim?!"
While doing chest compressions, Li Xiao continued to "vomit fragrance".
After pressing for more than a dozen times, Li Xiao pinched Zhou Qing's nose again and started artificial respiration from mouth to mouth.
After blowing air, pressing his chest, and going back and forth several times, Zhou Qing finally opened his eyes and became conscious.
She spit out a large puddle of water, and then coughed violently. Li Xiao quickly helped her up and patted her back gently.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I... my leg... my leg is cramped..." Zhou Qing's first sentence after waking up was an apology.
At this moment, she was completely soaked, with long wet hair draped over her shoulders. She looked extremely embarrassed. Coupled with her aggrieved expression and voice, Li Xiao immediately felt that Zhou Qing, a female man, also had such a weak side.
It was really difficult for him to vent his anger towards Zhou Qing for holding him back.
Seeing that Zhou Qing was fine, he also relaxed and lay on the cold ground like a big character. "I'm so exhausted..."
Both of them fell into silence, with only Zhou Qing's occasional cough resounding through the cave.
After a long silence, Zhou Qing was the first to speak.
"Um... do you have any extra clothes? Can you lend me one?"
Li Xiao sat up and looked at Zhou Qing, and immediately noticed something unusual——
At this moment, Zhou Qing...seems...seems...somewhat "unclothed"!
She was not wearing a shirt, with only a pair of bra wraps on her upper body barely covering her "vitals", and the rest of her shoulders and abdomen were exposed to snow-white skin. Although her lower body was wearing coarse trousers, the soaked trousers clung tightly to her body.
On her legs, her slender and round legs were highlighted.
What's even more terrible is that it seems that Li Xiao's movements when he was performing compressions on her were a bit too big, and the big movements on her chest made the bra wrap a little loose. The bra wrap was about to fall off, so Zhou Qing could only use two hands to press it tightly.
.
A trace of hot breath surged into Li Xiao's head. Just now he was in a hurry to save people, but ignored Zhou Qing's "Happy Together". When he realized what he was doing, he suddenly felt a stream of heat about to flow out of his nose.
Taking out a set of clean clothes from the inventory and placing them on the ground, Li Xiao stood up and looked around.
"It's so hot here!" He looked at the pool he had just emerged from. "You change clothes first, and I'll go to the water to cool down for a while."
After that, he walked to the pool and jumped into the water.
Seeing the water in the pool gradually calming down, Zhou Qing smiled. "Hot? You can imagine it!"
She shuddered and hurriedly threw herself at the clothes on the ground.
Half a minute later, Li Xiao climbed out of the water shivering, holding his arms.
Zhou Qing had also changed his clothes and was keeping warm by a lit bonfire.
Seeing Li Xiao's appearance, she tried her best to hold back her laughter, and her eyes signaled Li Xiao to come over and warm up by the fire.
"It's cool now. When it's cool, come here and warm yourself up."
What responded to her was Li Xiao's resentful eyes...
The flames burned brightly, the wood used as fuel crackled, and the two fell into a long silence again.
Out of habit, Zhou Qing was the first to speak.
"How many times have you saved me? The third time? The fourth time? Or the fifth time?"
"Who knows?" Li Xiao glanced at Zhou Qing and found that the latter's eyes were focused on the bonfire, as if he was not talking to him.
He also looked at the burning flames. "Whatever, it's not important. As long as you don't waste resurrection anymore."
"I will repay you!" Zhou Qing suddenly said decisively.
"Huh?!" Li Xiao looked at Zhou Qing again and found that she was staring at him dimly at the moment. He quickly turned his eyes away and stopped looking at her.
"You and I are dependent on each other in this dangerous world, so why should we talk about repaying something in return? Let's talk about it..."
