How can I put it this way? It's like a person suddenly losing consciousness.
Then I surfaced again and dragged the dog's head with my hands to make his face face up as much as possible to ensure his breathing. At the same time, I swam hard towards the shore.
At the same time, I also saw Xiao braid leading Uncle Su and others, running towards this side. When they arrived at the shore, Zhao Hu had already come ashore. He directly picked up Ma Miao and carried Ma Miao to the shore. On the beach far away from the waves.
Seeing that he was safe, I felt relieved. It seemed that this evil spirit was not very powerful. Isn't it easy to save the person?
At this moment, suddenly there was a crashing sound behind me. When I turned around, I saw a big wave coming up. This wave looked higher and stronger than the previous waves. If this was caught, Maybe it could knock someone unconscious. Without thinking much, I immediately sank my head into the water and avoided the wave. But when the wave rushed to the shore and flowed back, I felt a strong current, which seemed to be blowing away. I was pulling toward the bottom of the water, just like I was pulling toward the depths of the sea.
And this force is getting stronger and stronger. I can see with my naked eyes that I and the dog are getting further and further away from the shore, very fast.
My heart skipped a beat, and I knew that the phenomenon I encountered was called a rip current, also called a rewind current. This is a strong current that is perpendicular to the coastline and moves quickly toward the open sea. If a person is caught in it, No matter how hard you swim to the shore, you can't swim up because the speed of your swimming cannot keep up with the speed of the water flowing back.
The end result of this going on is that you will be exhausted and eventually drown. I have seen a report about rip currents before. It is said that 80% of people who drown at the seaside are basically caused by this rip current. Get killed.
What can I say? I didn’t grow up by the sea. Although I often played in the river in our hometown, it was completely different from the seaside. I was also quite nervous when encountering this rip current. After all, I am not a What a great swimmer.
And I don’t know whether this rip current is just a natural phenomenon, or whether there is evil spirits at work here. My personal guess is that it may have nothing to do with evil spirits.
Because I have recited the curse to exorcise ghosts, evil spirits cannot invade me unless the evil spirit is very strong, but I have not felt it yet.
Thinking of this, another wave came, I immediately took a big breath, and then got into the water again.
After dodging this wave, I looked up and saw that I was pushed a little further to the shore by the waves. I took advantage of this opportunity and wanted to swim to the shore quickly, but when the water returned, I It was washed very far into the sea again, this time further than the previous time.
The people on the shore obviously realized that I was in big trouble now, and they even shouted at me, asking me to swim back quickly. What surprised me a little was that Xiaoye was the first one to come here. , and in the blink of an eye, she had already reached the point where the water was below her knees. Naturally, I shouted at her: "Don't come down, there is a rip current here, and you can't get out if you get in!"
Xiao Zizi quickly went over to grab Xiao Ye and pulled her back. Zhao Hu was also walking towards me at this time. It seemed that he wanted to come over to save me. I was about to tell him not to come over, but another wave came over. I hurried Submerged in water.
When I looked up again, Liu Xuanxuan was also shouting there.
But she definitely didn't really care about my safety. She just shouted: "Jianjun, you can't die. What will happen to my money if you die? I'm still waiting for you to give me money. Hurry up and swim." Come up."
Uncle Su also ran over at this time. He seemed to have some experience with this situation. He pointed to my right and shouted: "The width of this rip current is only a few meters or ten meters. You can't swim upstream." Yes, you have to swim to both sides, swim out of this area first, and then swim to the shore."
Hearing what he said, I immediately dived into the water and swam toward one side, while Zhao Hu, who was so stupid, had already plunged into the water and swam toward me. Just like that, I was on one side. Dragging the dog, he looked back at Zhao Hu and swam sideways away.
After swimming for about ten meters, the force pulling me down was gone. I realized that there was no rip current here, so I hurriedly swam towards the shore, and Uncle Xiao Yesu and the others were already waiting for me on the shore.
By the time I got ashore, I was completely exhausted and could only breathe heavily. I even looked back at Zhao Hu, and he also swam out following my route.
"Are you okay? Did you choke on the water?" Xiaoye asked nervously.
I shook my head, meaning it was okay.
Uncle Su said: "This kind of rip current can generally be tens to hundreds of meters long. You can't swim up the shore directly, but the width is very narrow, so it is easy to swim out on both sides."
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Su. If you didn't remind me, I would have drowned here today."
Zhao Hu quickly came over and said while panting: "What's wrong with you kid? It seems that your swimming skills are not very good. I rescued Ma Miao, why are you rushed in again?" Woolen cloth."
Before I could say anything, Xiaoye said with some reproach: "You are so kind. You are such a strong man. Why didn't you rescue the dog? Instead, you rescued a light one. You should have rescued the heavier one and let Jian The army is here to save this young man."
Xiao Braid echoed from the side: "That's right, you keep saying you don't care about others, but in the end you only save others. After all, that dog is still your brother."
Zhao Hu patted me sheepishly: "Brother, I was careless. I thought it wasn't very far from the shore, so I thought nothing would happen."
I didn't think it was anything serious at this time, so I told him not to talk about these things for now, and to see what happened to Ma Miao and Gouzi first.
Later, we lifted the two of them together and examined them. During the examination, Uncle Su found that there was a small bug stuck to the skin of both of their backs.
As soon as I saw the bug, I understood that it must be a bug, and they were both infected by the bug.
Uncle Su said: "The two of them have been poisoned by someone. It seems to be a kind of poison called a mantis poison. People who have been poisoned will be like a mantis infected with parasites, and they will want to dive into the water. , will turn into a puppet and walk towards the water, eventually drowning themselves, which is why the two of them just walked into the water."
As he said that, he took out his lighter and grilled the two bugs. Once he roasted them, the bugs fell down due to the heat. They originally wanted to get into the beach to escape, but Uncle Su took out a bottle. He packed them up and said they were good for refining medicine.
"How come they were also poisoned?" Liu Xuanxuan asked: "Didn't I also get that bug when I was in Yangon before?"
I originally wanted to tell her that I told you a long time ago that there is an evil spirit between us, but after thinking about it carefully, I found that both Ma Miao and Gou Zi were bewitched. These two, including Xiaoye and Uncle Su, are all members of our own family, so it is impossible for us to cast poison.
The more suspicious people were Liu Xuanxuan, Hulu and Yang Dawei. Liu Xuanxuan had been poisoned before, so it was definitely not her, so only Hulu and Yang Dawei were left.
This gourd is an honest man. Only Yang Dawei is the most suspect.
Therefore, once I say this, Yang Dawei must also understand that he will be regarded as a target of suspicion by us. I am only afraid that after alerting the snake, he will choose to jump over the wall. It will be bad if he causes any big trouble again, so now Just bear with it a little longer.
I just said: "This Southeast Asia is indeed Southeast Asia. I have always heard that witchcraft is very popular, but I didn't expect it to be everywhere. We have to be careful when we go back."
When I said this, I winked at Uncle Su and told him not to ask too many questions.
