Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 12 Drowning

"Oops!" Yu Chigong panicked, flapping his legs, trying desperately to grab the reeds by the lake, but the more he struggled, the tighter his legs became.

"What's wrong with you, Lieutenant?" Lin Qingyuan felt that something was wrong when he saw that he hadn't come up.

"I'm fine." As soon as Yu Chigong finished speaking, his hand slipped and he fell into the water.

"Little Captain!" Lin Qingyuan didn't know his feelings well, without even thinking about it, he took off his shoes and crawled down the lakeshore.

Zhuo Zhuo was talking to Nangong Yu, when he turned around and saw Lin Qingyuan, he looked into the lake and broke out in a cold sweat.He quickly grabbed Lin Qingyuan's hand and pulled him up with all his strength.

"You don't want to die!" Zhuoyou reprimanded severely.

"What are you doing!" Lin Qingyuan desperately struggled to free his hand, "Let go of me! Xiaowei is going to be drowned!"

Yu Chigong kept waving his arms, and the mirror-like lake surface was smashed into pieces by the splash he stirred up. He was like a bird in distress, desperately trying to escape from the hunter's pursuit.But strangely, he didn't call for help.

Seeing that Yu Chigong was drowning, Zhuo Zhuo suddenly became furious, grabbed Lin Qingyuan by the collar and pushed him away from the lakeshore: "Idiot, are you going down to seek death too!"

"Do you want me to watch him die in front of me!" Lin Qingyuan was also angry, desperately breaking Zhuoyou's hand.

"Who said you want to watch him die!" Zhuoyou suddenly pushed him to the ground, quickly took off his white coat, threw it on him, turned around and ran towards the lake, "I'll save him!"

"Hundan! Come back!" Lin Qingyuan hurriedly got up from the ground, ran two steps, jumped, and hugged Zhuoyou's leg at once, "Let me go!"

"I'm a doctor! Saving people is my bounden duty!" Zhuoyue kicked Lin Qingyuan aside, and was about to jump into the lake.

"Don't jump!" Yu Chigong shouted from the lake.

Zhuo Zhuo looked down and saw that Yu Chigong was climbing up with the reeds, he hurriedly stopped his feet, but was still a step too late, and went straight to the lakeshore.

"Excellence!" Yu Chigong shouted, frightened and froze in place.

However, Zhuo Zhuo didn't fall into the lake like Yu Chi Gong was worried about, because Lin Qingyuan caught his feet very timely.Enduring the pain in his chest, he dragged Zhuo Liang back with great difficulty.

After seeing Yuchi Gong, he felt relieved and continued to climb.

"Xiao Wei, you scared me to death." Lin Qingyuan couldn't wait to pull Yuchi Gong up, hugged him in his arms, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Little devil, I said you are playing tricks, it's not good to deceive people like this." Zhuo Liang poked Yu Chigong's forehead with a sullen face.

"I'm sorry to make you worry." Yu Chigong lowered his head, "but..."

He suddenly raised his face and looked at the two of them sincerely: "I'm not lying, I was indeed bound by something just now, but it seems that someone helped me untie it later."

Lin Qingyuan and Zhuoyue looked down, and there were indeed red marks on Yu Chigong's legs from being strangled by something.

The two looked at each other: "Is there anyone?"

Yu Chigong nodded: "At first I thought it was you, but when I crawled out of the water, I saw that you were all on the shore. Could it be that there are fish or something in this lake?"

"Mermaid?" Lin Qingyuan smiled, Xiao Wei was still a child at heart, how could there be a creature like a mermaid in real life.

After Zhuo Liang heard this, his mind went blank for a moment. He hurriedly looked around, and found that Nangong Yu had disappeared, and there were two black shoes lying quietly in the bushes.

In Pingxin Lake, there was no wave.

"Nangong Yu is gone." Zhuo Zhuo stared at the pair of shoes absent-mindedly. Was the fifth-generation owner of Xiu Xin Yuan wiped out so soon?

"Nangong Yu?" Hearing this name, Yu Chigong suddenly had an ominous premonition when he thought about the hands helping him break free in the water, "Here is Nangong Yu?"

"It was still there just now." Zhuo Zhuo said, a trace of rare sadness flashed across his face, he already understood who saved Yu Chigong.

"Where is he now?" Yu Chigong asked eagerly, his heart beating wildly, afraid of hearing the answer he had already expected.

Zhuo Zhuo looked at the calm lake and said nothing.

Yuchi Gong suddenly understood, his heart went cold, and tears filled his eyes.

—— Nangong Yu, why?

Lin Qingyuan sighed, took out his handkerchief, and wiped his tears.

——Since you don't want to accept repayment, why do you keep showing favor to others?

Yu Chigong's tears rolled down one by one, wet his handsome face.

——I don't have much time, so why sacrifice my life for me?

"I'm going to save him!"

Lin Qingyuan quickly stopped Yu Chigong: "Xiao Wei, I'm afraid it's already too late."

"No, he's not dead! I won't let him die!" Yu Chigong burst into tears suddenly, pushed Lin Qingyuan away, and jumped into the lake recklessly.

"Little Captain! Little Captain!" Lin Qingyuan lay on the shore, watching the ripples on the lake, crying bitterly.I clearly promised my elder brother to take good care of Xiaowei, but now I can only watch him fall into danger, I am so useless!

Seeing that Yu Chigong was so determined, Zhuozhuo immediately calmed down, grabbed Lin Qingyuan from the ground, pulled the handkerchief from his hand, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and stuffed it into his hand again: "Find a strong long Rope, hurry up."

"What?"

"Save people! The longer the better, remember to be strong, go quickly." Zhuoyue urged, since the baby has decided, he will support him even if he bets his life.

Lin Qingyuan blinked, seemed to understand Zhuo Liang's thoughts, turned around and left.

Zhuo Liang stared nervously at what was going on in the lake, and was ready to jump if anything happened—even though he didn't know how to swim.

10 minutes passed, Yu Chigong went to the water for two breaths, but still couldn't find Nangong Yu, his complexion became worse and worse, Zhuo Zhuo looked very worried.

Lin Qingyuan soon came back with a long rope, seeing Zhuo Zhuo's surprised expression, he explained: "I untied that hanging chair."

Zhuo Zhuo looked back at the chair lying on the ground, and for the first time in his life, he praised Lin Qingyuan for his good brain.He threw the other end of the rope into the lake and let Yu Chigong tie it around his waist.

Yuchi respectfully followed Zhuo Liang's instructions, then gave him a grateful look, took a deep breath, and dived into the lake again.

He pushed aside the clumps of algae and swam deep, a very familiar feeling suddenly hit his heart, as if he had been here many years ago.He felt less uncomfortable in his chest from holding his breath, and his swimming skills seemed to be more proficient.

Near the bottom of the lake, he finally found Nangong Yu who had passed out.Seeing him as calm as if he was asleep, he felt a pang of distress, resisted the urge to cry, tied the rope tied around his waist to him, then pulled the rope and dragged it with difficulty. He swam to the lake.

Seeing that the rope moved, Zhuo Zhuo and Lin Qingyuan worked together to pull them up, and Nangong Yu was placed on the grass by the lake.

"Xiao Wei, are you alright?" Lin Qingyuan asked worriedly seeing Yu Chigong's pale face.

"I'm fine, Zhuo Zhuo, save him quickly." Yu Chi Gong shook off the water and tears from his face, knelt on the grass next to Nangong Yu, and urged anxiously.

Zhuo Zhuo leaned on Nangong Yu, heard that his heart was still beating, and looked back at Yu Chi Gong who was about to jump in anxiety, couldn't help laughing.

——It was great to meet him in this life.
