"Gong Ling, are you afraid?" Yan Mo stared at the surging river and answered a question that was not asked.
"I'm scared." Gong Ling wasn't as ambitious as she appeared on TV. She nodded timidly and shrank her neck.
Yan Mo turned around speechlessly and glanced at Gong Ling: "Can't you have a little backbone?"
Gong Ling rolled her eyes, opened her mouth, and said exaggeratedly:
"You're so desperate that you want to jump into the river. How can I not be afraid?" He grabbed Yan Mo's arm and said seriously, "You don't really want to jump into the river and die to protect your innocence, do you?"
"Not really." Yan Mo said calmly, pulling away Gong Ling's hand that was holding his arm.
"That's good." Gong Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"but…"
"But what?" Gong Ling's heart was hanging in the air again.
Yan Mo didn't say anything. He turned around under Gong Ling's puzzled gaze, stopped beside a piece of reed grass, broke off two reed stalks, walked back to Gong Ling and handed them to her.
Gong Ling took it blankly and asked, "What are you using it for?"
"Jump into the river." Yan Mo said these two words lightly, frightening Gong Ling so much that she immediately retracted her hand. She looked at Yan Mo with an indifferent look and said, "No way! Didn't you say it wouldn't happen? After all this time, you're still going to jump?"
"Quick, quick, it must be up there, search for me quickly."
Before Yan Mo could say anything, a voice came from afar, along with clear footsteps and the rustling of leaves.
They both turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the distant hillside. Gong Ling looked panicked. She grabbed Yan Mo and asked nervously in a low voice, "What should we do? Mo Mo, they're coming."
If they continue like this, they will definitely be discovered in no time.
"Go down!" Yan Mo looked stern, patted the back of Gong Ling's hand, and said softly.
In the end, I still didn't wait for Si Ze. I hope Si Ze can distinguish this time and not be deceived by illusions.
"Really? Go down?" Gong Ling looked at the river, then at Yan Mo beside her, and said, "Is there no other way?"
She is afraid of water!
Yan Mo shook his head and comforted:
"I will protect you and nothing will happen to you. Don't be afraid," Yan Mo said, holding the barnacle root in his hand in front of Gong Ling and explaining, "Wait a minute, when we go down, in order to prevent them from noticing, we must sink to the bottom of the lake and swim across the river. It will take quite a while. This barnacle root is our only source of breathing oxygen," and after a pause, Yan Mo explained to Gong Ling how to use it.
Gong Ling hesitated and cried, "Can we try another method? I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid." Yan Mo hugged Gong Ling.
Without waiting for Gong Ling to react, Yan Mo took the lead and walked to the riverside, testing the water with his feet.
"Hiss" a piercing coldness spread from the soles of his feet to his heart. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Yan Mo said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go down to the river." As he said that, he sank to the bottom of the river.
Gong Ling saw that Yan Mo had already gotten into the river. She looked behind her and without hesitation, followed Yan Mo and stepped into the river.
Suddenly.
The oppressive feeling of water surrounded her from all directions. Gong Ling felt like she couldn't breathe and wanted to stick her head up immediately.
In the water, Yan Mo immediately grabbed Gong Ling's shoulders, put the reed root in his hand to Gong Ling's mouth, and pointed to the shore for her.
Gong Ling instinctively grabbed it, put it in her mouth, and looked up at the shore.
At this moment, a bald man led a row of tall and strong men in black and stood on the shore. At the same time, many people were searching the surroundings.
After a long time, there was no success.
"Boss, I really heard a noise over here just now." A hunchbacked man said to the bald man tremblingly.
"Boss, I heard it too," another person echoed.
The bald man fell into deep thought, looking around. Where could he go? Just now, he saw them all over here.
"Maybe he's still hiding on the mountaintop." A man in a robe, resembling a military advisor, approached the bald man, handed him a cell phone, and suggested, "Do you want to give him a call and ask?"
They split into two groups, and some of them had already gone to the top of the mountain.
"Keep searching." The bald man instructed his subordinates, took the phone and started contacting the people above.
After a while, the bald man hung up the phone, his face becoming even gloomier.
"No, Fatty's legs were injured. He said he was hit by those two women." The bald man handed the phone to the military advisor: "They were running down the mountain."
"That shouldn't be the case! We've laid a tight net all the way here. Not only can't a human figure, but even a fly can't get out." The military advisor in long robes glanced around, looked at the grass, then looked up at the crowns of each tree, and then stared at the river for a long time.
Seeing the robed men's behavior, the bald man in the lead laughed and said, "You're really quick. You don't suspect they're underwater, do you? They're girls. The river water is so cold and deep, girls can't stand it."
The man in the robe shook his head and said, "Nothing is impossible. I love to think of things that are out of the ordinary. Indeed, the river water here is freezing cold and unfathomable. Most women wouldn't dare go down there. But, just now, the people above reported that the woman had crippled Silly Fatty's legs."
"Just think about it, such a cruel woman, it's inevitable that she will be cruel to herself as well." The man in the robe retracted his gaze and looked at the bald man in front of him, saying, "Boss, don't forget who Si Ze is. Would he like a woman as pure as a white lotus flower?"
"No." The bald man in the lead shook his head, waved his hand, pointed at the river below the cliff, and asked the group of brothers, "Is there anyone who can swim?"
Everyone looked at each other, stopped searching, looked at the turbulent river, and said nothing.
"Are all my men cowards? They can't even stand up to a woman?"
A boy of about seventeen or eighteen raised his hand and shouted:
"Boss, I'm going down."
Hearing this, Shui Zhongyan Mo frowned tightly. These people were too cautious and would not have thought of this.
I have to say that he is really difficult to deal with. In my heart, I admire Si Ze more and more. Even with these people secretly making trouble, he is still alive and well. I have to admire him. Yan Mo is secretly proud in her heart. The man she likes is the best.
Since this was the case, Yan Mo no longer worried about being exposed. He exposed his head, quickened his movements, dragged Gong Ling, and swam hard towards the other side.
"Boss, they are in the middle of the river." As expected, someone found them.
The boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, then dove into the water, feeling the biting cold and cursing:
"Oh my god, it's so cold, those women are risking their lives." After saying that, he stopped moving forward and quickly used all four legs to chase after Yan Mo and the others.
As time passed, the boy who was chasing her in the water was getting closer and closer to Yan Mo. Although Yan Mo was a very good swimmer, she was holding Gong Ling back after all. At the same time, she had been swimming for so long that she was still very weak physically.
