Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Qiu Luming had an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart, and she walked quickly towards the dock.

The port wharf is an artificially built deep-water wharf. Some say it is more than ten meters deep, while others say it is dozens of meters deep. Anyway, looking into the water from the wharf, the water is black and so dark that it makes people feel scared.

Now there is no trade and no ships docked, and the dock looks bare from a distance.

As soon as I entered the port hall, I saw a huge white sign standing next to the north gate with eight big red words written on it: "Dock restricted area, no swimming allowed"

Qiu Luming's ears suddenly moved. She threw away her bath towel and ran towards the dock, shouting to Han Meifen, "Go and call for help!"

The straight-line distance from the port hall to the dock is about 300 meters, all paved with hardened road surfaces, and you can even see the air ripples rising from the ground.

Qiu Luming's sandals didn't fit her feet, and she fell before she ran a hundred meters. A large piece of skin was scraped off her knees and elbows, and it was burning. She ignored the pain and got up and continued running. When she reached the pier, another big sign blocked her way, "No swimming!"

At this time, she had already seen two heads floating in the water, one of which was Qin Huifang!

But she was held tightly by the neck by a boy, and she couldn't get ashore at all. She didn't know how long she struggled here. She thrashed weakly, "Help! Let go, help..."

"Huifang!"

When Qin Huifang saw Qiu Luming, she stretched out her hand to him in surprise, and then was dragged down by the boy.

Qiu Luming jumped into the water with a splash without any hesitation.

As soon as she entered the water, she felt as if she was frozen. The water here was so cold, and there seemed to be an unpredictable and terrifying suction force underwater, pulling her feet downward. She was a little panicked, but still swam to the place where Qin Huifang sank. She vaguely saw Qin Huifang's hair floating like seaweed, reached out and grabbed it, and dragged her towards the shore.

However, the shore of the port pier is not the shore of fine sand.

It was a 90-degree bank made of cement.

The water level was not too high at this time, so she could only hold on to the edge of the dock. Her right hand was still holding Qin Huifang's hair tightly to keep her mouth and nose above the water. Qin Huifang coughed violently and pushed the damn boy weakly. The boy closed his eyes and held Qin Huifang tightly, his mouth and nose appearing and disappearing in the water, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. However, Qiu Luming could no longer care about these.

Qiu Luming's lower body was soaked in water, and her upper body was pressed against the slippery stone wall. Her arms felt like they were being torn apart, and her fingers could hardly support themselves. She turned her wrist and grabbed some more of Qin Huifang's hair in her hand. Qin Huifang groaned in pain.

Qiu Luming's left arm was shaking, and she slid down a little. She screamed unwillingly towards the sky, but there was nothing she could do other than that, because as soon as she let go, the two people below would sink to the bottom of the water.

"Let go, ahem, Luming..."

"I do not!"

The boy who had been clinging to Qin Huifang as if she were his lifeline woke up somehow. He turned around and saw Qiu Luming, and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Qiu Luming also looked down at him, and it turned out to be Xie Guang!

Why is he everywhere? She was so angry, "Why did you arrest her? Are you going to die together with her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her left hand no longer had the strength to hold on to the dock. With a scream, she fell back into the water. The moment she sank into the water, she felt a sharp pain in her right leg. Oh no, her leg cramped at this moment.

She held onto Qin Huifang and Xie Guang tightly, and said to Xie Guang, "Let her go and hold my hand."

Xie Guang released Qin Huifang's neck and gulped down a few gulps of water. He grabbed Qiu Luming's hand and said, "Save me!... I'm exhausted..."

All three of them could swim, but they were all exhausted. Qiu Luming treaded water with one foot, panting, "Don't panic..."

She tilted her head back and tensed the tip of her right foot, but it did not help the cramp. Qin Huifang probably hadn't eaten anything, for her lips were purple, her face was pale, and she was trembling as she sank again.

"Calm down! Someone is coming!"

"let go......"

"Help!" Qiu Luming shouted with his last bit of strength. He let go of Xie Guang with his left hand and used both hands to pull Qin Huifang up, but he himself sank down.

It really seemed like there were a pair of black hands grabbing her ankles underwater. It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared. She paddled hard, but she sank faster. In a trance, she saw Xie Zhi's face. It was very close and a little blurry, but she was sure it was him.

She thought that she was going to die again, and it was a blessing from God that she could see Xie Zhi again before she died. She smiled, and bubbles popped up. The next second, a strong arm grabbed her neck from behind and dragged her out of the water.

Getting some fresh air again, she coughed loudly.

“Yo yo!” The second brother rushed over, pried open that arm, hugged her tightly, and shouted to someone, “Hurry up and pull her up!”

Qiu Luming only felt that her second brother was holding her waist and lifting her up, and then someone pulled her up, and she didn't know who put a bath towel on her. She wailed and grabbed her right foot. Her second brother was also pulled up. He quickly checked the wounds on her legs and hands, and then forced her feet to move. Han Meifen hugged her upper body, supported her bleeding arm, and cried.

She turned around and saw Xie Zhi again. He was patting Xie Fei on the back, asking him to spit out the water.

Qin Huifang was wrapped in two bath towels, leaning against a middle-aged woman, shivering.

Some people were talking at once:

"Have you notified Director Qin?"

"Hurry and get back to the hall!"

Qin Huifang struggled, "Where's Lu Ming, where's Lu Ming?"

"She's fine, they're both fine!"

Qiu Luming suddenly heard Xie Guang crying, "Second brother, I'm not playing in the water, I'm jumping in to save people!"

Xie Guang's hand pointed at Qin Huifang.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only the waves gently pushing against the stone shore of the pier.

The middle-aged woman who was holding Qin Huifang was probably an employee of the Grain Bureau. She said to Xie Guang rudely, "Look at her neck. It's been wrecked. Who would believe you if you said you saved someone?"
