Chapter 229: 229
With that said, Hong Qianxi plunged deep into the water as he held up Hong Qianjie and the woman's feet . This resulted in him completely sinking into the reeds . The river was not deep . It was about two meters deep . As Hong Qianxi sank into the gravel beneath, he used his strength to hold up Hong Qianjie . However, the turbulent waters made him stand unstably . The pressure was immense and the oxygen in his lungs could hardly hold out . Thankfully, the whirlpool dissipated moments after it formed . Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous . However, the two of them had been already been caught by the reeds . If they did not receive any help, it was likely they were doomed .
Hong Qianjie, who felt his feet being pushed upwards, yelled as tears streamed down his cheeks, "Brother, come up here! Come up!"
Everyone on the bridge saw this scene and could do nothing but fidget in worry .
The ones who knew how to swim wished to jump into the water but were stopped by others . The number of people jumping into the water under the present circumstances only meant they would be adding to the problem . There was basically no prospect for return .
Someone far away found a rope and ran over as fast as he could .
When Wang Yougui saw this, he turned around to ride his motorbike but he realized that Fangzheng was gone! There was only Monkey who had climbed onto the bridge to watch the commotion .
Wang Yougui ignored it . Fangzheng was already a grown man and it was unlikely something bad would happen . Hence, he rode his motorbike and drove towards the person with the rope . Every second mattered . They could only do all they could the rest would be left to fate .
The first whirlpool dissipated but then a second whirlpool appeared . This one stronger and larger than its predecessor .
Hong Qianxi could no longer hold on . He lacked the oxygen he so desperately needed, causing his legs to turn weak . He failed to gain his footing and nearly toppled over once the whirlpool formed . The only thing that eased his mind was that the whirlpool dissipated after a slight swirl .
Just as Hong Qianxi's eyes turned into a blur and was about to lose consciousness, he saw a person walking towards him . The person was dressed in white and had green hair . He seemed to hold something in his hands . He was alarmed . "A water ghost? Is that a real ghost?"
Hong Qianxi jolted awake from fright . He looked carefully and realized that a monk was walking towards him in the water! It was not green hair but reeds that wound round his head . It was unknown where the monk found his strength . As he walked over, he tore apart all the reeds . He proceeded rather fast .
Soon, the monk came in front of him and smiled . In no time, he tore apart the reeds that entangled Hong Qianxi, Hong Qianjie and the woman . Then, he grabbed his shoulder and sent him rising upwards!
The people on the bridge heard a splash as Hong Qianxi, who had previously plunged into the water, suddenly jumped out of the water . He opened his mouth wide as he gasped for breath! At that instant, Hong Qianxi felt as though he had survived a calamity . The most prominent thought in his mind was the sweet taste of fresh air .
Hong Qianjie was delighted seeing his elder brother appear . At the same time, he felt the force restraining the woman in his arms had lightened . With a light tug, she floated upwards like air . The woman had awoken as she realized in her daze that Hong Qianjie was saving her . She yelled, "Don't save me . Let me die! Let me die!"
As she yelled, the woman suddenly felt a hand grab her by the ankle . The hand was ice-cold . . . She was certain that it was a person's hand and not the reeds! Her hair immediately stood on end as she screamed, "A ghost!" Then, her eyes rolled over and she fainted!
Hong Qianjie heaved a sigh of relief with the unconscious woman no longer struggling . If she were to struggle, it would be dangerous . But why did she scream about a ghost? Did he look like a ghost?
Hong Qianjie was just about to send her up the bank when his expression changed drastically! He discovered that someone was touching his foot! He was certain that it was a person's hand! Hong Qianxi was in front of him . What was the thing in the water? Recalling the woman's screams of a ghost, Hong Qianjie felt his tears welling up . This was way too f**king harrowing . He had goosebumps as he suddenly struggled . He felt like he had kicked a smooth rock that was rather hard .
The underwater Fangzheng was truly miserable . What the hell were the two people above him doing? A simple swipe and she froze up . The other struggled the moment he grabbed . He even got kicked in the face several times . Couldn't they just behave properly?
