Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 66 Ice Release (2)

Su Ya had never felt that the water in the Huaihe River was so boundless and bottomless.

She had even touched the broken ship that sank on the river bed, but could not find any trace of Shen Huai.

After emerging from the water for an unknown number of times, she forced herself to calm down and recall the areas she had touched in this moment.

Could it be that I touched the wrong place?

No, she would not admit that the little broken ship was wrong. There were still traces of Shen Huai's dagger on the wreckage of the ship...

etc!

The mark of a knife cut!

She clearly remembered that Shen Huai only used a dagger to cut through the piece of ship wood in the bilge where her leg was stuck. When did such a large piece of wood next to it become missing?

Could it be that the ship completely disintegrated during the sinking process? Are the missing edges and neat and sharp cracks just her imagination?

Su Ya's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and she was about to dive down again to check the gaps in the ship's wood, but at this moment she heard faint human voices.

The call was light and intermittent, and could be drowned in the water if you were not careful. It called: "Su Ya...Su Ya...Su...Ya..."

In fact, the voice was a bit pleasant, and even had a lingering flavor, but in this dark night and water, it really sounded like a ghost.

Su Ya perked up, immediately stepped on the water to raise her body, and looked around, "Shen Huai? Shen Huai! Is that you?"

The sound stopped immediately, and the world was silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of splashing water suddenly sounded, and then a slightly panicked voice was heard shouting: "Help! Su Ya, please help me... I don't know... water!..."

Su Ya suddenly turned around in the water——

Nearly two feet behind and to the left, the water was rolling, and a black figure was struggling and fluttering. In just a moment, even its feet were pulled out of the water!

She didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly went over to pick up the man who was holding on to a large piece of driftwood, ignoring the slightly panicked look and the handsome face with clear outlines. Who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Huai?

The arm under his hand also grabbed her with his backhand. The muscles on the slender arms were clearly defined, and he was indeed a living person.

Su Ya felt happy for a moment, but also a little angry - where did this person come from?

She had just called out to someone, and had been groping up and down in the water for so long, but this person was floating safely on the water?

Shen Huai put one hand on the driftwood and carefully held Su Ya's hand with the other, but he didn't dare to use any strength. He just imitated Su Ya and stepped desperately in the water, and even tried to ask: "How did you come back?" Already?"

Su Ya ignored him, but moved the hand he put on her arm to her shoulder, and then touched the large piece of driftwood. The cuts on both sides were neat, and it was indeed dug from a broken ship.

But with the buoyancy of this piece of wood, I'm afraid it can't support a person as big as him, let alone support him for such a long time.

Can he swim?

"I really don't know how." Shen Huai was adjusted into a posture, and with Su Ya supporting him, he felt much more relaxed and safer. He replied innocently: "I thought that if I cut a piece of wood, I could at least follow you and swim forward, but who knows It couldn't hold me up. I almost drowned."

"Then why are you still alive?"

"My grandfather taught me to relax and lie on my back when encountering deep water." Shen Huai looked at Su Ya, his eyes shining with a hint of pride.

People who live on the water often say: If a person who cannot swim falls into deep water, the safest position is to lie on his back in the water. Don't worry about whether the water reaches your ears, and don't be afraid that the water waves will occasionally hit your mouth and nose. As long as you can Keep your body relaxed, at least you won't sink - if you don't sink, you can always wait for life.

However, the most difficult part of this self-rescue method is not the movement, but "relaxation".

People's fear of water seems to be a natural instinct, and there are very few people who can control their bodies and relax and stretch in times of crisis.

Su Ya turned her head and glanced at Shen Huai. This man's character was really stable.

She stopped talking and let Shen Huai relax and lie on his back on the water as before, pushing him to swim towards the beach.

The night is so quiet, the sound of breathing is in my ears, and there are only two people left in the world at this time.

Too quiet.

"Why didn't you call me earlier?" Su Ya asked, breaking the silence.

"What?" Shen Huaian looked at the night sky quietly and responded casually.

"Didn't you call my name just now? I didn't hear it at first." Su Ya asked again. If he had answered earlier, why would he have dived underwater over and over again.

"...That's not calling you."

Hearing this, Shen Huai remained silent for a short while, then suddenly said softly, "I didn't think you would hear it."

Su Ya suddenly felt strange and couldn't help but look at him again.

This time, Shen Huai's eyes were burning, and the temperature in his eyes almost burned her. He repeated seriously: "My ears were submerged in the water, and I couldn't hear anything except the sound of water... I thought you wouldn't come back."

I thought she would never come back, so I called her by her name.

What does he mean by this?

Something strange suddenly popped into her heart, a little deep and a little sweet. Su Ya didn't dare to ask, she avoided her sight and swam forward.

"Su Ya, you don't have to be moved," Shen Huai didn't want to stop, "Actually, I wasn't planning to die in the water, so I cut the boat wood, and there will always be life."

His voice was smiling, a little hoarse, and a little gentle. He looked at the sky and said slowly: "It's just that, for some reason, I thought of you when I was floating in the water."

Su Ya didn't say anything, so he continued talking by himself.

"My poison hasn't been cured yet. Zhao Qing and Cao Kaihe are still thinking about killing me. I also promised to solve Liu Sandian's troubles." When he mentioned this topic, his voice seemed to become lighter. "In fact, the troubles don't stop. There are still many people who want to plot against me. I never took it seriously in the past. They are just a bunch of cowards. If they have the guts to harm me, they must have the guts to bear the consequences."

After saying this, he suddenly chuckled, "You don't have to be afraid, I didn't plot against you."

"When you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water. The boat is full of dreams and the stars are overwhelming." Shen Huai's voice rippled in the low sound of the water waves, hitting people's hearts time and time again. "There are no stars and moon tonight, and the boat is sinking. Chasing The soldiers are behind us, and there are many dangers. However, I seem to be a little drunk..."
