After another five minutes, I saw that the water was calm and the insects were no longer coming up!
At this time, Lao Baotian, the oldest and most calm-tempered person, suddenly turned pale and said with a trembling voice, "No... he didn't drown, right...?"
"Oh shit!"
I didn’t bring anything with me. I quickly took off my shoes and jacket, put on my headlamp, and jumped directly into the river.
The river water was a bit cold, and the deeper I dived, the lower the visibility. I puffed up my cheeks and tried my best to open my eyes underwater to find the target.
Soon, I saw bugs! I saw him kicking his legs desperately under the water. At first, I thought his legs were entangled in aquatic plants.
I kicked my legs hard and swam towards the insect. Unexpectedly, when I got closer, my pupils dilated! I saw something weird...
It's not the waterweed that's entangled in the insect's legs, but Lao Zhou...
I saw Lao Zhou's eyes wide open in the water, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His right hand grabbed the insect's ankle like a pliers and refused to let go.
The oxygen mask on the insect's face had long since fallen off. I watched him drink several mouthfuls of water, and his struggle became smaller and smaller.
At this moment, I was almost reaching my limit. I held my last breath forcibly, and quickly swam to Lao Zhou's side, trying to force his right hand off.
But Lao Zhou was not moved at all, he had drowned long ago! But his eyes were always wide open, with a smile on his lips, as if he was possessed by a ghost and insisted on dragging the bug to his back!
At the critical moment, I remembered something Douyazai said to me before. Douyazai said that once you are caught or hugged by a drowning person in the water, you must not struggle, but you must sink with the drowning person. , so that the other party may let go.
I immediately gestured to Chongzi, telling him to hold his breath, not to struggle, and to sink with Lao Zhou.
The insect understood what I meant and immediately followed my instructions.
The insect no longer struggled, but completely relaxed his whole body and sank down with Lao Zhou.
At this moment, suddenly, Lao Zhou's right hand, which had been holding on to the insect's ankle and refused to let go, slowly let go. I saw the right opportunity to grab the insect and bring him up.
"ah!"
"ah....."
After surfacing, I took a deep breath. The bug drank too much water and was almost unconscious. I held him tightly to prevent him from sinking.
I had no energy left to swim, but fortunately Xiaoxuan and Lao Baotian rushed over immediately, and she finally got me ashore.
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
I took off the clothes the insect was wearing, and without stopping for a second, I pressed the insect's chest with both hands.
"He is dying! Don't worry about anyone! Give him artificial respiration quickly!"
As soon as I finished shouting, Xiaoxuan immediately lay down and started giving him mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.
"cough!"
With the help of cardiac compression and artificial respiration, Chongzi suddenly spit out a large mouthful of river water, and then he coughed continuously.
"Okay, okay! People are alive! People are alive!"
"Wake up! Hey! Bug! Open your eyes!" I kept slapping him on the face and calling him by his name.
The insect woke up leisurely. He looked at me and said in a weak voice: "I...I'm not dead yet..."
"You're not dead! You're not fucking dead! Wake up! Tell me what happened underwater just now! What happened to Lao Zhou!"
Chongzi's eyes were distracted and he muttered a few words that I couldn't hear clearly.
Xiaoxuan said anxiously: "Get the person back first! His current state is because his head has been deprived of oxygen for too long!"
It was us who cleaned up the situation and retreated quickly. A Yuan and Xiao Xuan carried the dripping snakeskin sacks, and Lao Baotian walked back quickly carrying the confused insect on his back.
After walking more than a hundred meters, I slowly turned back and took a look.
It seemed like...a human head was sticking out of the water, watching us leave.
It was too far away, and the light was too dark to see clearly. It seemed... It seemed like Lao Zhou who had just drowned not long ago, or it seemed like the middle-aged woman who was killed by bugs during the day...
"Come on, Yunfeng! What are you still looking at there!?" Xiaoxuan urged me to follow them quickly.
I was so frightened that my face turned pale, so I turned on the flashlight and slowly shined it towards the water.
It was calm and there was nothing left... I quickly drew a cross shape on my chest up, down, left and right.
