Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Drowning people seldom maintain a normal state of mind after being choked. Even if they know what to do in their hearts, their bodies will not obey orders and make unnecessary struggles.

Luo Jiayu's water quality is mediocre. After encountering such a strong undercurrent, he was dragged into the bottom of the river with little resistance.

After being choked for the first time, he subconsciously held his breath and tried to swim upwards.

But no matter how hard he tried, he felt that invisible undercurrent was holding him tightly, preventing him from going upstream.

About a minute later, Luo Jiayu felt as if there was a fire in his lungs, as if it was about to explode.

He knew it was because he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and at the same time he was still wondering that he could hold his breath for more than 4 minutes before reaching the limit, why did he feel that he couldn't hold it anymore after a while.

After holding on for more than ten seconds, the body's strong instinct to breathe made his mouth open uncontrollably.

"ton ton ton"

With the opening of the mouth, a large amount of river water flowed into the mouth instantly along the mouth.

At this time, Luo Jiayu, who was still conscious, shut up quickly, but he was not only breathing from his mouth, but also from his nose. The water not only flowed into the stomach along the mouth, but also flowed into the lungs along the nasal cavity.

Although the water flowing into the lungs is small, it is fatal.

After Luo Jiayu's mouth was closed tightly for five or six seconds, it opened again uncontrollably.

"ton ton ton~"

A large amount of river water was poured in again, but this time Luo Jiayu couldn't control his body, not only could he not control his mouth, but he seemed to have lost control of his hands and feet at the moment. He could still paddle and struggle, but now he can't even struggle. Not anymore.

In the darkness, Luo Jiayu felt his body falling rapidly, like a stranger falling into the underworld.

He, who still had some fear, seemed to feel unprecedentedly relaxed at this moment.

The heart is also very peaceful, it seems that the approaching death can be accepted calmly.

just
A little disappointed.

The devil hasn't been driven away yet.
The darkness was still darkness, like endless nothingness, but the consciousness became more and more blurred, and gradually, Luo Jiayu's last remaining consciousness was swallowed up by this darkness.
.
Downstream, Li Si stood at the bow of the boat, skillfully threw the lasso in his hand, and accurately hit an Eighth Route Army soldier.

This Eighth Route Army soldier was lucky to encounter a broken tree branch after being washed away by the river, and he relied on this tree branch to save his life and consciousness.

He reached out and grabbed the noose, put it on his arm, and found that it was a loose buckle, which could be tightened as long as he pulled it. Before he could speak, he felt that his arm was tightened, and he was caught by a powerful force. poked in the past.

When he was dragged away, he now rescued his two fishermen, one tall and one short, the tall fisherman was responsible for throwing the noose, and the short fisherman was responsible for pulling people and saving them.

After boarding the boat, the tall fisherman untied the noose from his arm and handed over a water jug, "You are the only one who can still stay awake after being caught, drink some wine to warm up first."

The soldier who was rescued was Xue Yong, a soldier of the Fifth Company, and he was also one of the soldiers who were washed away after the rope broke. The more he struggled in this situation, the faster he would die, so he simply relaxed his body, lay flat completely, drifted freely with the current, and finally caught a broken branch by luck.

After taking the jug, Xue Yong didn't rush to drink, but said gratefully: "Thank you!" Then he asked, "My fellow, you haven't saved anyone else yet? "

"Counting you, a total of five have been saved."

"Are they all alive?" Xue Yong asked anxiously.

"The three are still alive, but they are all unconscious now. The other two." Lian Wushang shook his head, "It's too cold to be rescued."

Xue Yong wiped his face with his hands and didn't know whether it was sweat or tears, and said with a choked sob, "I know water, I can save people, and I can help."

With that said, Xue Yong returned the jug to Li Si.

Li Si didn't pick it up, and didn't look at it, but continued to stare at the river intently, "Drink a sip of wine to warm yourself up, and then take off your clothes, my boat is too small, and I'll have to rely on it to catch two more people later." shore."

Hearing Li Si's words, Xue Yong said, "Many of my comrades in arms have fallen into the water, can you save a few more?" Speaking of this, Xue Yongcai found out that Li Si's boat was too small to accommodate a few people, so he After a pause, he continued, "Now I can get off the boat and swim ashore by myself!"

Li Si smiled, "Are you still able to swim? The current is so fast, it's not easy for my boat to keep the rudder steady, but you still want to swim ashore, do you think that you are destined to escape death again? "

Xue Yong remained silent, Li Si's words were correct, he was trembling all over after getting on the boat, and his hands and feet couldn't be controlled, and he couldn't use any strength.

"Don't worry! It's not like we saved you, but there is a business, can we let it go?" said Lian Wushang, who was steering the boat at the stern.

"Business?" Xue Yong asked puzzled.

"We save people, you pay for it! It's only natural to pay for your life!" Lian Wushang said without emotion.

"Ah?" Xue Yong didn't know until now that these two people who save people with emotion are not kind people, they just want to take advantage of the fire.

"But...but" Xue Yong stammered, "I have no money."

"If you don't have any money, I'll throw you down." Lian Wushang said fiercely, his tone was serious, Xue Yong's hair suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't help shivering again.

Xue Yong is a child of an ordinary farmer's family. He would not die in a battle. He is a veteran and has been in the Third Regiment for several years.

But not wanting to die doesn’t mean being unreasonable. The two fishermen are right. They don’t sleep at night and run to this raging lake to save people. Needle and thread, we must do fair business with the common people.

"Don't scare people and children!" Li Si put on a white face and said in a gentle tone, "Which unit do you belong to?"

"We are Corporal Hu's unit!" Xue Yong instinctively wanted to say his unit number, but immediately changed his disguised number.

"Jiangxi's troops! Rich! Each of you big-headed soldiers will charge you ten yuan. If you get an official, how about we charge you one hundred?" Lian Wushang said in a dignified manner, with a hint of tone in his tone. with greed.

"This... I can't make the decision." Xue Yong said submissively.

"Okay, don't talk about it, young man, you also go to the cabin to take care of your comrades-in-arms. You are not needed here. As for the final amount of money, we will talk to your chief. But don't worry, whether this business will be successful , we will save everyone first.”

Li Si's words reassured Xue Yong'an a lot, he glanced gratefully, and then got into the cabin. (end of this chapter)
