Chapter 52 Crossing the River (2/2)



The woman felt a little ashamed. She said she didn't want to hold Lu Yao back, but she didn't expect that after such a short time, she would become a burden...

"I know! Don't worry, I'm here!"

After being locked up for 16 years, if she could learn to swim without any instruction, that would be amazing!

So, the braids made from wild grass and vines along the way finally came in handy!

The man wrapped one end of the rope tightly around the woman's waist and tied the other end to his arm. He was ready and began to warm up!

The man in the black felt hat gritted his teeth in hatred. This man was well prepared! !

Helplessly, they could only take off their luggage while cursing, wrap the things that were afraid of being soaked in water with layers of oil paper, tie them up tightly, and then stand by the river to warm up!

"Follow closely!"

Lu Yao gave a casual reminder! Then he took the woman's hand and slowly stepped into the shallow river...

The weather is nice today. After a whole morning of being exposed to the sun, the water temperature in the river is not too cold!

After wading through the waist-deep shallow water, Wanru's feet gradually floated and could hardly reach the bottom!

The man's strong arms reached out in time and fixed the woman's head with one hand, keeping it above the water.

Whispered: "Relax, I'm here, don't be nervous, breathe slowly...try to make yourself float..."

She tried her best to control her breathing. Since she had never experienced the fear of water, she naturally had no psychological trauma. Beside her was Lu Yao, whom she completely trusted. She tried her best to relax her body and slowly floated on the river bank as Lu Yao swam...

Several men following closely behind also swam slowly...

After swimming for dozens of meters, Lu Yao suddenly moved close to Wanru's ear and whispered, "I'll count to three. Take a deep breath and close your eyes and hold your breath. For the last section, we need to speed up and swim through..."

“1, 2, 3…”

As if closing my eyes obediently, I took a deep breath...

Suddenly, Lu Yao's movements in the river became swifter. What was even more terrifying was that his movements in the water were even faster than when he was walking on land...

The slightly cool river water invaded her mouth and nose. She suppressed her fear and held onto Lu Yao's arm tightly...

Just like...relax, you can do it...persist...you can definitely do it...

Is it an illusion?

Why does she feel water waves flowing under her feet?

When the four people behind him noticed that Lu Yao had suddenly increased his speed and wanted to catch up, Lu Yao had already fallen behind them by dozens of meters.

They tried their best to catch up, but they still had luggage to carry, so they couldn't speed up at all!

Even though they knew that the boy would most likely run away after getting ashore, they could do nothing about it. After all, no one had expected that a man could swim so fast in the water...

The man in the black felt hat stared fiercely at the two people who were swimming farther and farther away, and swore secretly in his heart that after he got out of the cave, he would find out his identity and kill his whole family...

However, his wish could not be realized after all!

When he swam to the center of the river, he suddenly felt something was wrong underwater, and then he was horrified to find that the calm water surface began to ripple slightly!

“I don’t want anything anymore! Swim faster!!!” The man in black felt hat yelled in fear! !

Circle after circle of ripples spread out in spirals, circling around in the center of the river!

There is an undercurrent in the river...
