Wang San took a step forward, and she took a step back until there was no way back.
The hem of her skirt has been slightly wet by the river water. If she takes even a small step, she will fall into the river!
Zhuang Keqing's heart was beating loudly, and the sound of blood pulsating in her ears. She turned her head and glanced at the calm river behind her, and her mind uncontrollably recalled the suffocation and despair she felt when she was submerged in the water in her previous life. When she looked up again,
She even felt that Wang San with a false smile on his face was not so scary anymore.
"Don't! Don't go back any further, you're going to fall!" Wang San shouted loudly.
He pretended to look at the river behind Zhuang Keqing, but he wanted to take advantage of her moment of confusion to fish her to his side.
But he didn't know that Zhuang Keqing was already in a panic and couldn't be intimidated at all. As soon as he screamed in surprise, the girl who was standing steadily fell under her feet, leaned back, and fell into the river!
Wang San wanted to stretch out his hand, but was still a little slow.
"What are you doing!"
At this time, a clear shout came from behind him.
He trembled in shock, and when he looked back, he saw the pretty boy he had seen in front of the girl's door last time, throwing away the wooden basin in his hand and rushing towards him. He was immediately panicked. So he didn't even look at the water in the river.
At one glance, the distressed girl turned around and ran away.
The two of them passed each other.
Shen Ling only had time to turn his head and glance at the man with half of his face covered in blood. In an instant, his attention was attracted by the man who was sinking into the river and unable to call for help.
There is water in all directions, and all tangible and intangible things are pressing towards me!
Zhuang Keqing couldn't open her eyes, but she seemed to feel that the pale-faced water ghosts were circling around her in the water. They were happy, excited, and celebrating! Celebrating the arrival of a new companion!
The feeling of suffocation followed, and the remaining air in her lungs was squeezed out of her chest. Her limbs seemed to be separated from her body, unconscious.
I'm probably going to die again. Zhuang Keqing thought this way. She tried to say something, but only a few quiet bubbles came out of her open mouth. They floated upward and headed for a safe place to live. And her body,
Then gradually sink into the depths of darkness.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, resigned to her fate and stared at the soft bubbles in the distance. In the hazy moment, she saw something coming towards her.
Shen Ling goes to the river to wash clothes every afternoon. Today he came late, but he happened to see a man forcing a girl.
He was standing a little far away, and the two people were in such a mess that he couldn't see clearly. He had intended to step forward and shout to scare the man away, but unexpectedly, the girl slipped and fell into the water first.
Shen Ling rushed to the river and jumped down. Even if the man took the opportunity to escape, he had no time to care. He just wanted to save people!
This girl who fell into the water was different from other drowning people who struggled vigorously in the water. She was very quiet. When Shen Ling found her, she had closed her eyes and was immersed in the water, as peacefully as if she was asleep.
Zhuang Keqing!
The young man in the water saw the girl's face clearly through the weak sunlight that filtered through the water. His eyes widened and he moved faster.
He was about to swim over, and without any regard for propriety or shame, he put his mouth directly to the girl's lips, took a breath, barely managed to steady her breath, and then took her hand, wrapped his arms around her body and said to her.
Swim up the water.
Shen Ling was just a teenager. He dragged Zhuang Keqing for a while and when he pushed him to the shore, he was already tired and lying on the riverside panting.
But time waited for no one, so he stretched out his hand to detect the other person's breathing, but there was no movement at all, so he managed to climb ashore with support. Without bothering to move to a drier place, he loosened the other person's collar and pressed it. Her chest was trying to press out the choked water.
Time and time again, finally, his efforts were not in vain. River water flowed out of the girl's mouth in waves, and after a heavy and long breath, Zhuang Keqing's chest received fresh air again.
She came to life!
The cold and dampness had faded away, and she could feel the warmth of the sun and some kind of warm attention on her body.
Zhuang Keqing slowly opened his eyes and saw the blue sky, white clouds, and the young master of the Shen family.
"You saved me."
She looked directly into the man's dark eyes without shame, and spoke the truth in a hoarse voice.
"Um."
Shen Ling's eyes moved away.
Zhuang Keqing's collar was open. This was a temporary measure to save someone. Now that he was awake, he should avoid suspicion.
"Thanks."
Although he knew that these two words were not enough to describe his mood, Zhuang Keqing still looked at the other party's Qingjun profile and solemnly thanked him.
"You! This is what you are doing!"
A cry of surprise interrupted the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Zhuang Keqing tightened his collar and turned his head calmly. He saw Gouzi and his brothers in the next room standing not far away. The fish baskets that were supposed to be carried in his hands fell to the ground and rolled over. Far.
They just wanted to come here to catch some fish and put them in the fields. Who knows what they saw?!
On the way they came just now, they saw a man sneaking around. After seeing them, he ran away covertly. It was a little strange at the time. But who knew that by the river, they saw the banker's sister, who was soaked all over. The savior of the milk is entangled, what is going on?
Zhuang Keqing's clothes were soaked. They were thin in summer. Although they did not penetrate the skin, they showed some of the young girl's curves.
Several teenage boys hesitated and did not dare to come forward.
He had no worries when he was rescuing people just now, but now that Shen Ling saw a few boys in the distance, he frowned slightly. He turned his body sideways, took off his coat in the same posture as before, and wrapped it up On the girl next to him.
"Girls, you still need to be careful."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Gouzi and the others. He didn't know what he said, but those boys all turned around and ran away.
When Shen Ling came back, Zhuang Keqing still maintained his original posture.
After a chase, she fell into the water and lost consciousness. She almost thought that she had no hope of life. Who knew that God still had mercy on her and gave her another chance to live.
"Where did they go?"
Holding Shen Ling's shirt tightly in her hands, Zhuang Keqing raised her head and glanced at him.
The young man's back was facing the sun, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but what he exuded was a sense of ease that made her feel extremely at ease.
"It's hard for you to go back like this. I asked them to call your mother." Shen Ling answered her, then turned around and walked to a place a few steps away and stood quietly.
"If you don't want to say more about today's matter, I will keep my mouth shut. Don't worry."
He left a few words, let the breeze blow his hair that was not yet dry, and secretly shook his right hand that had just been scratched by a stone while rescuing someone, leaving Zhuang Keqing with an indifferent back.
