It sank too fast, as if the quagmire had no bottom at all. It was only five meters away, and it was too late. I had no choice but to pounce over and reluctantly grab Tashi's hand. .
A person may be able to lift objects more than twice his own weight, just like those professional weightlifters, but it is not that easy to pull a person out of a quagmire.
Not to mention how heavy Tashi was, even if it was a newborn baby stuck in the quagmire, it would be extremely difficult to pull it out.
"Come and help!"
I asked myself that my strength was amazing, but at the moment I couldn't exert any energy at all. I could only shout at the two people behind me to ask for help.
Just as I was shouting, Tashi had completely sunk into the mire, and because I was holding on to his hand, I was being pulled into the mire bit by bit.
Finally, my legs were grabbed by Shenxu and Jasmine respectively, and they pulled me with all their strength.
"Brother Niu, let go quickly, or you will die in there too!"
Kidney Deficiency was shouting at me, urging me to let go of Tashi’s hand, but I didn’t do that. I still held on tightly because I felt that Tashi’s hand was also holding on tightly. Me, that is the desire for life.
We were racing against death, and every second was extremely precious. Jasmine and Shenxu were struggling to pull my legs, and I was holding on to the edge of the precarious quagmire with my other hand and struggling to retreat. With.
Finally, Tashi's muddy head emerged from the mire, then his neck and body, and finally his legs.
At the moment when we relieved ourselves, all four of us collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, and all of us laughed in unison.
Laughter echoed in our ears one after another, echoed in the distant woods, and echoed in the depths of the quagmire, as if we were laughing at the incompetence of the God of Death.
After a long time, Tashi slowly got up from the ground, looked at me covered in mud and said, "Thank you for saving me. I, Tashi, owe you my life from now on!"
After saying that, he walked towards a smaller puddle not far away and washed away the filth all over his body.
After a simple cleaning, Tashi walked up to me, glanced at the endless puddles and said: "The car is gone, now we can only choose to walk, but it's not far away. If we walk, it will take another half a day." It should be there.”
Half a day is not short, but Tashi obviously gave the specific time required after considering the current road conditions, so from this point of view, it is only half a day, not long.
Tashi suggested continuing on foot, but Jasmine and Shenxu were obviously exhausted from the sharp rescue just now, so I suggested staying where they were and resting for two hours, until everyone's physical strength was almost restored before leaving. .
Tashi didn't refute, just nodded silently.
After resting for two hours, Jasmine and Shenxu had almost recovered, so we started walking.
There were still a lot of puddles, and Tashi learned to be smart. He found a dead branch and walked forward while exploring.
With Tashi exploring the road in front, we don't have to be too cautious. Relatively speaking, we need to relax a lot, but the road is really too muddy.
Tashi walked in the front, I followed behind him, while Jasmine and Shenxu walked in the back.
"Hey, Miss Jasmine, how long have you been here with us? What do you do? Do you like painting?"
This guy with a weak kidney seemed to have really recovered, and he started chatting up Jasmine.
Jasmine seemed to be very disgusted with this person, Shenxu. She glared at him sideways and said, "Why are you so annoying and why do you have so many problems? Don't waste your efforts. I won't like you like this." You are not my type at all, and most importantly, I don’t like men with kidney deficiency, younow!”
As she spoke, Jasmine took two quick steps to my side, raised her hand to hold my arm, turned around and said to Shenxu again: "The person I like is a man like Xie Dongzi, so don't waste your efforts. "
"Miss Jasmine, it's not what you think. I have taken good care of my kidneys. In fact, I don't have any kidney problems at all. That's just my name. And my name is not Kidney Deficiency, my name is Shen Xu, Shen is the Shen of Shenyang, Xu is the Xu of the rising sun!"
Seeing that Jasmine still ignored him, he quickly came towards me and asked me with a puzzled look on his face, "Hey, isn't your name Niu Lanzhi? Since when did you call me Xie Dongzi? Listen. It’s so awkward!”
"…………"
I was really speechless. I thought, "Xie Dongzi" is both nice to hear and easy to remember, so that's awkward. It sounds a thousand times better than Niu Lanzhi, okay?
In fact, I should keep a certain safe distance from Jasmine. Let’s not talk about what kind of woman Jasmine is. Let’s just say that I am a well-known and married person. I am almost a family man, so of course I am. You can't do anything that is sorry for Chen Qiuyu outside.
But at the moment, perhaps this is the only way to get rid of the entanglement of kidney deficiency on Jasmine, so I can only be a good person and do my best to help her temporarily.
After walking for half a day, when the sun began to set, Zhaxi pointed not far away and said: "We will be there soon. There is an abandoned village ahead, and Xue Nanfeng is there."
Walking is boring, and walking in the desolate and empty wilderness is even more boring. But when I heard that the destination was right in front of me, I immediately became energetic, and the pace under my feet also obviously accelerated a lot.
About ten minutes later, an abandoned village nestled between two low, deserted hills appeared in front of us.
A tall, slender figure stood in the middle of the village, looking at me with squinted eyes and smiling sadly.
"My good brother, you are here at just the right time!"
"Stop talking nonsense, what you want is here, let me go quickly!"
I directly held the scroll of the Four-Armed Bodhisattva in my hand and shouted to it.
Xue Nanfeng winked, and Tashi walked up to me, intending to ask me to hand over the thangka scroll.
Originally, I didn't want to hand it over so easily, but paintings are dead and people are alive. In order not to offend Xue Nanfeng and prevent him from doing anything outrageous, I had no choice but to hand over the scroll. It was handed into Tashi's hands.
Taking the scroll from Tashi's hand, Xue Nanfeng couldn't wait to unfold the scroll excitedly, and then looked at it carefully.
At this time, Jasmine asked me with a surprised look on her face, "Xie Dongzi, why does that man look so similar to you? I just heard him call you brother. Are you twin brothers?"
I frowned and said stiffly: "How is it possible? How could I have such a despicable and shameless brother? Everything is just his wishful thinking."
The man with kidney deficiency on the side also looked confused. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me for a while, then at Xue Nanfeng, "Here I go, they look too similar, no wonder..."
Half of the words were said, but the rest was swallowed back by the kidney deficiency.
I didn't know what he was going to say next, but just by the words "no wonder", I felt that this person with kidney deficiency was probably not as simple as I thought, and he was definitely not an ordinary painter.
However, at the moment, I didn't have the time to consider the identity of the kidney deficiency. My eyes always stayed on Xue Nanfeng, watching the slightest change on his face, and watching his every move.
After looking at it for more than ten minutes, Xue Nanfeng re-rolled the thangka scroll of the four-armed Bodhisattva with satisfaction.
"Yes, my good brother, it seems that I did not misjudge you, and you really stole this thangka scroll."
"Stop talking nonsense. You've got the things. Where are the people? Let them go quickly!"
