Chapter 225 He Let Go
The system immediately thought of the death calamity, and Su Lingyu also thought of it.
But she subconsciously denied it.
Su Lingyu: […I don’t think so, right?]
She was puzzled as to why Gu Yanying was here.
That figure I saw while having dinner before, was it really him?
But for some reason, she found it hard to imagine Gu Yanying attacking her.
Before, she thought he was hideous, but now, she subconsciously felt that he would not do anything cruel or terrible.
The system said anxiously: [But the death calamity has come earlier! It has come several years earlier. We are not prepared at all and have not accumulated enough merit points. It is really fatal! ]
[Even if he doesn't mean to hurt you, if he gets close to you, it might lead to a plot murder?! ]
[No, host! Please let him go quickly and don't let him get close! ]
Su Lingyu was helpless: [I wanted to, but I didn't even dare to open my mouth to call for help. I would spit water as soon as I opened my mouth.]
[Most people who drown die from choking on water, you know that.]
Misfortunes never come singly.
While she was talking to the system, something in the river hit Su Lingyu like a piece of waste wood. She shuddered all over and felt a sharp pain from her left rib to all parts of her limbs. She was shaking with pain and gasped.
A large mouthful of water poured into her mouth. She subconsciously wanted to cough and vomit, but she didn't dare.
Enduring the discomfort in her throat, she struggled to float upwards, and only dared to cough after her head emerged from the water.
As I coughed, a fishy and sweet taste rose in my throat.
The system was already frightened at this time, and cried out in a crying voice: [Host, you, you are bleeding! ]
[This is the power of plot killing, for sure! ]
[Gu Yanying is a bad guy. In this environment, if he gets close to you, he is harming you! ]
Hearing her inner voice, Gu Yanying, who was trying to swim towards Su Lingyu with the help of the strong light from the river bank, stopped and floated on the water. He looked at her from afar with a pair of cold and clear peach blossom eyes.
Su Lingyu was in great pain, her chest and abdomen were churning, and the fishy-sweet taste in her throat was getting stronger and stronger. She covered her left rib that was hit, knowing that she must be seriously injured.
Facing the panicked little system, she could only simply say: [No.]
[…It wasn’t him, it was just an accident. ]
Noticing someone was staring at her, Su Lingyu looked over with emotion, and briefly met the complex and indecipherable gaze of Gu Yanying, who was floating up and down with the river.
It seemed like worry, it seemed like guilt, and more of it seemed like fear.
Is he afraid too?
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Su Lingyu's mind.
In just a glance, another wave surged over in the next second. The water speed seemed to increase, and it suddenly swept her into the river, rushing far away and even drowning her.
【Help!】
Seeing this scene, Gu Yanying's heart suddenly tightened, and she looked suddenly at Huo Yan, who was getting closer and closer to Su Lingyu but was being swept away by the flood.
With his fists clenched, he no longer cared about the plot and suddenly dived into the water, swimming hard in the direction of Su Lingyu.
The situation is dangerous. Only when one more person fights hard can there be one more hope.
If there really is a plot murder, then all the consequences will be on him and he will have to bear the consequences!
…
Su Lingyu was engulfed by the river water and had no strength to do more.
She felt a constant stream of severe pain in her left ribs, which was unbearable.
The system shouted again: [Host, hold on! Huo Yan is here, he's fast!]
Su Lingyu felt a chill in her body and responded: [... Yeah. ]
She tried her best to keep her balance and not be swallowed by the fast-flowing water.
But for a swimmer of her level, this alone was very exhausting, not to mention that she was injured.
And soaking in the river will only make the wound bleed faster.
Fortunately, when Su Lingyu felt that she was about to be exhausted and her body temperature was losing bit by bit, and she was about to give up, a strong hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
It’s Huo Yan!
Su Lingyu opened her eyes with great difficulty. She felt aggrieved and wanted to cry, but she thought she would see the man's familiar jawline, but in the end, what she saw was a handsome face.
Is it Gu Yanying?
Gu Yanying held her with one hand and pulled something with the other hand, and he managed to stabilize the two of them in the river.
Su Lingyu took a closer look and found that he was pulling a branch as thick as his arm.
Given the weight of two people and the fast-flowing river, it was unclear how long they could hold out.
She became anxious again.
The system was also anxious: [It's just a small branch. One person can handle it, but with the weight of both of you, it will break in a few minutes.]
The warriors on the assault boats were also anxious.
The river water was surging and the speed was very fast, with waves coming one after another. In this situation, the rescue boat could not approach quickly, otherwise it would easily injure the person who fell into the water, so it could only circle around a little further away.
Fortunately, they saw someone holding Su Lingyu, and the two seemed to have grabbed something in the flood, which allowed them to stabilize their bodies temporarily, but they didn't know how long they could hold on.
After assessing the situation, one of the soldiers picked up a life buoy and prepared to jump in to rescue.
Huo Yan, who was trying to get closer, also saw it and raised his hand and shouted: "Comrade, throw me a lifebuoy!"
The warrior on the assault boat looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure floating in the river, waving at him.
Due to environmental constraints, they could not see the other person's face clearly and only thought that the rescuer had given up and was calling for help.
"Someone's calling for help, help!"
"OK."
There were many life buoys on the assault boat. Another warrior swung his long arm and threw a life buoy tied with a rope towards Huo Yan in the river.
The lifebuoy was too light and the current was too fast, so there was some distance between the two of them.
The first time I threw it, I didn't throw it accurately and the lifebuoy was immediately washed away by the river.
Fortunately, the soldier had amazing eyesight and arm strength. After pulling back the life buoy, he threw it accurately half a meter in front of Huo Yan for the second time.
Huo Yan threw himself forward suddenly and grabbed the lifebuoy with his long arms.
The soldiers on the assault boat shouted to him: "Comrade, just hold on to the lifebuoy, we will pull you out!"
But Huo Yan had no intention of going up. Instead, he pointed in the direction of Su Lingyu, and then swam desperately towards Su Lingyu and Gu Yanying with the lifebuoy.
The soldier reacted and shouted to the people around him happily: "Is that Captain Huo? He got the lifebuoy to save Comrade Xiao Su!"
"Slow down the assault boat, we'll slowly approach! Two more people get in the water to provide support!"
“…”
On Su Lingyu's side.
After a faint "click" sound, Gu Yanying suddenly held her hand. In her surprised eyes, he calmly led her to hold the branch and told her: "Hold on tightly with both hands, use force."
As he spoke, blood oozed from the corner of his lips.
Su Lingyu was about to ask "What about you?", but before she had the chance to ask, Gu Yanying's figure was suddenly washed away by the river.
He let go.
