Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 66 Let’s go home
In front of Qu's house.

"Grandpa, you sit here, I'll be in the back."

Shi Xia patted the passenger seat and pointed to the seat behind.

Grandpa was tense and nervous.

"It's okay, it's a land ship."

Shi Xia explained, and Grandpa Shi relaxed a little and sat in tentatively.

Shi Xia smiled lovingly, watching Grandpa Shi sit down and gently close the door. As Grandpa Shi turned his head to look at her, she opened the back door and sat in the seat behind Grandpa Shi.

When Grandpa Shi saw this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Mrs. Qu and the old lady also sat in the back, and Leader Qu drove.

Shi Xia rolled down the car window.

The bald man spoke first: "I'll take the small road, it's much faster!"

After saying that, the bald guy waved his hand, stepped on his bicycle, and rode away.

The car also started.

It was very quiet along the way. Mrs. Qu and the old lady had no desire to communicate. As they got closer, they held hands, with bitter smiles and tears in their eyes.

They are here again.

This is already the fifth time.

The Qu family has three children. Qu Zhongyuan is the youngest and also the best-behaved. After graduating from university, he became a teacher.

When he took the children out to collect folk songs, he slept forever at the bottom of the lake in order to save a child.

"arrive."

Qu's father's voice became much deeper.

At this time, he was just a father.

With a bang, Shi Xia opened the door and got out of the car, first calling Grandpa Shi to get out.

When everyone came down, a quick bell rang, and the bald man, panting and sweating, rushed down a hillside.

The handlebars shook violently and the tires deformed slightly under the impact of extreme speed.

With a "ding-ling-dang" sound, the bicycle stopped. The bald brother was panting and sweating profusely, and couldn't say a word.

Shi Xia nodded to the bald brother, stretched his arms and legs on the spot, tied his hair, and said to everyone.

"Wait."

Shi Xia walked into the lake. The water flowed from her ankles to her waist, and then from her waist to her head. She nimbly dived into the water and disappeared.

On the shore, Grandpa Shi pursed his lips, frowned, and stared at the lake.

The bald brother was not idle either. He went to the nearby area as he was familiar with it. Soon, he pulled a small bamboo raft over.

Qu's father hurried to help, and Grandpa Shi ran over in a few steps, pulling the bamboo raft with one hand and walked away.

The bald elder brother and Qu's father had nothing in their hands, their waists bent, and then they looked up at Grandpa Shi.

“So it’s a family tradition.”

"I—I'm awesome!"

The bald guy was secretly happy, he had disturbed the nest of a powerful person!
Grandpa Shi rowed the bamboo raft to the middle of the lake and waited, while the people on the shore waited silently.

The bald guy, the only one who was not familiar with Shi Xia, was inexplicably confident that he could succeed this time!

At this moment, Shi Xia had already found Qu Zhongyuan underwater.

However, she did not go up immediately. Instead, she silently calculated the time and waited for about fifteen minutes before she surfaced.

"Out!"

"Comrade Shi, come up and slow down your strength."

"Girl."

Grandpa Shi rowed the bamboo raft over. Shi Xia smiled at Grandpa Shi, put his arm on the raft, waved and shouted to the shore.

"I'm fine, I'll be down in a minute."

When the people on the shore heard it, they nodded to indicate that they had heard it.

No one thought that Shi Xia could be fished out on the first try, but he was able to stay in the water for fifteen minutes the first time, and such a long time gave them great hope.

The bald man couldn't suppress the smile on his face: Awesome! I'm so awesome!

Shi Xia pretended to take a break for a while before diving into the water again.

After going down, she swam to Qu Zhongyuan's body and used her water-based abilities to clean the mud off his nose, mouth, and face.

When Xia came up for the second time, she was still alone. She rested again and dived again.

This happened twice more, Shi Xia's face becoming paler each time. Actually, it was all caused by her own supernatural powers. Often, things are too easy to resolve, which is not good.

The Qu family members on the shore had higher and higher hopes, because in the past, three times was already the limit for people to go down, and the time was getting shorter each time.

Mrs. Qu stammered and tried to shout "forget it" many times, but she couldn't.

She laughed to herself.

She is still selfish after all.

With a splash, Shi Xia dived again, and this time she planned to bring Qu Zhongyuan up.

Ten minutes passed, fifteen minutes passed, but Shi Xia still didn't come up.

The people from the Qu family were already standing by the lake, with water just an inch away.

"It's okay, it's okay, it will be okay."

The old lady has already started praying to God. If anything happens to Shi Xia, she will be uneasy.

Sixteen minutes passed. Mrs. Qu held her father's hand tightly, leaving marks on the back of his hand with her nails, but no one cared at this time.

Bald Brother has a strange idea. He thinks he should have some "gains" this time.

Seventeen minutes later, the tips of the Qu family's shoes were wet, but no one cared.

"Wow!"

The sound of waves exploded in everyone's ears, and Grandpa Shi rushed over immediately.

Shi Xia, who was in the water, raised one hand slightly towards the Qu family on the shore, and the third hand emerged from the lake.

"found it!"

"Ah—I—"

Mrs. Qu rushed directly into the lake. Her vocal cords seemed to be strangled by a pair of big hands, and she could not make a sound no matter what she did.

"Qianru—Qianru—"

Qu's father followed closely behind, supported Mrs. Qu and pulled her back.

"Don't worry, we still have to take Zhongyuan home."

"Go home—go home."

Mrs. Qu used her strength to stand up, went to the shore and waited.

The calmest person in the family was the old lady. With her silver hair, she looked at Shi Xia with the silent love unique to China. Her Zhong Yuan was home.

With the help of Grandpa Shi, Shi Xia in the lake put Qu Zhongyuan on a bamboo raft.

Grandpa Shi paddled the water, and Shi Xia pushed the bamboo raft in the water.

The bamboo raft was too small, so she didn't get on it.

The bald guy rushed into the water immediately, holding a large piece of cloth in his hands and holding it up with both hands to avoid getting it wet.

"Comrade Shi, please surround us."

Bald Brother: If you pay attention to the details, there will definitely be a chance for our next cooperation.

Shi Xia: As expected of someone who works for the higher-ups, you have such a keen eye...!
Bald Brother's actions also made Mrs. Qu take action.

She prepared dry clothes for Shi Xia.

"I'll get some clothes."

Mrs. Qu went to the car to get clothes, and Shi Xia finally reached the shore.

She wrapped the cloth around the bald brother and said thank you.

"You can deduct the money for the fabric."

"Girls look down on your bald brother, don't they?"

Shi Xia looked at the bald brother who was touching his bald head and said simply: "Then I'll take it. Thank you, bald brother."

"Hey! Girls are still straightforward!"

Bald Brother was very happy. He understood that this was Shi Xia’s signal that he agreed and that they could cooperate in the future.

"Sister, go and rest. The rest is the future."

Bald Brother waded forward and, together with Grandpa Shi, pulled up the bamboo raft on which Qu Zhongyuan's body was lying.

He did not show any disgust, and even bowed to Qu Zhongyuan and said sorry, saying that due respect must be given.

The Qu family also came over and looked at the "white" Qu Zhongyuan. They were overwhelmed with grief and all their words turned into six words.

"Jongyuan, let's go home."
