"We're in big trouble." Yu Qiuping secretly screamed, and hurriedly swam towards Akechi Mitsuhide. As a good swimmer, he and several companions had rescued a middle-aged man who fell into the water in his previous life. Therefore, he
We all know that a drowning person is extremely panicked and loses his mind. He will frantically grab everything around him that may allow him to float up. Moreover, because a drowning person is on the verge of despair, his strength will be unusually high. If you don't pay attention,
, the rescuer may be grabbed by the drowning person and taken into the water.
If you want to save someone, you must approach from the side or directly behind the drowning person. You must not give the drowning person a chance to catch you, but you must find a way to catch the drowning person.
However, when he dived and swam behind Akechi Mitsuhide and tried to pull him up, he found that he was a little powerless. He couldn't exert his strength underwater, not to mention that Akechi Mitsuhide's body was not light, and Akechi Mitsuhide was also there.
Struggling hard, Yu Qiuping couldn't drag him up. Seeing the time passing by and the rescue making no progress, Akechi Mitsuhide had swallowed several times in a row, and Yu Qiuping became more and more impatient. He tried to solve the problem.
He tried to take off Akechi Mitsuhide's body, but he couldn't untie the buckles and knots. And the bow and arrow that shot into Akechi Mitsuhide's body also seriously hindered Yu Qiuping from taking care of his body.
In desperation, Yu Qiuping took out Sena Ujitoshi's bow from his arms, and used a sharp blade to cut open the buckles and knots on Akechi Mitsuhide's body. Then, he gave the bow and arrow directly to
Pulled it out.
"Fortunately, there was no bleeding." Yu Qiuping took a look and found that there was no blood pouring into the water, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He even pulled and pulled all the gear off Akechi Mitsuhide's body. He even doubted whether he would dislocate Akechi Mitsuhide. However, he couldn't care about that much at the moment. He could hardly hold his breath anymore.
He stopped. He held Akechi Mitsuhide's waist with both hands and swam upward with all his strength, finally getting Akechi Mitsuhide out of the water.
"The waist is quite thin." Yu Qiuping had the time to slander him at the moment of life and death.
After seeing the sky again, Yu Qiuping began to gasp for air, but Akechi Mitsuhide was still struggling there. Yu Qiuping tried his best to stabilize Akechi Mitsuhide, while raising his head to look for a place to go ashore. Several Akechi on the cliff
Ie Ashigaru seemed to have discovered Ame Qiupei and Akechi Mitsuhide who had fallen into the water, and immediately found a few branches and started to stretch them down. However, the height difference was too big, and these branches could not be reached by Ame Qiupei. Those few Ashigaru saw this
They yelled again to communicate with each other. After a while, they found a nearly five-meter-long hemp rope from somewhere and threw it down towards the place where Yu Qiuping fell into the water.
The length of this hemp rope gave Yu Qiuping a chance to touch it, but Mitsuhide Akechi kept struggling, making it impossible for him to adjust the angle at which he could raise his hand. The hemp rope was swinging back and forth above Yu Qiuping's head, but Yu Qiuping was still alive.
He couldn't reach it - it was already extremely difficult for him just to keep Akechi Mitsuhide on the water, and his strength was gradually depleted with each attempt.
At this moment, the cry of killing suddenly came from the top of the cliff. Yu Qiuping looked over there blankly, and saw that the flag of the Asakura family had approached the place where they fell into the water! The Mingzhi army that was slowly retreating immediately
We can't guard the place where the two fell into the water. If this place is occupied by the Asakura family, everything will be over! As long as the Asakura family shoots arrows from a high position, they can shoot Yu Qiupei and Akechi Mitsuhide into a sieve! If Akechi Mitsuhide is still here
If you struggle there, both of you will be doomed.
"Mitsuhide, calm down!" Yu Qiuping shouted in vain to Akechi Mitsuhide, but he understood that this would not have any effect. People who fall into the water are often unconscious and can only obey the instructions of the rescuer.
There is a ghost.
However, Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to be really different from ordinary people. After Yu Qiuping yelled at him for a long time, his movements actually became smaller, and in the end he calmed down and hugged Yu Qiuping's arm obediently.
"What the hell." Yu Qiuping couldn't help but muttered, but he couldn't miss the opportunity. He immediately grabbed the hemp rope, and then tried to find a way to move towards the shore, intending to pull the hemp rope and climb up.
Akechi Mitsuhide on his arm also broke out into several violent coughs at this moment, as if he wanted to cough up all the water he was choking on.
However, just when Yu Qiuping started to try to climb, he suddenly felt his hands loosen and he fell into the water again. He suddenly looked up and saw that the ashigaru who were originally rescuing them had already
After hurriedly escaping from the rock, the Asakura family's troops were already close at hand!
"I'm going!" Yu Qiuping felt that his mind went blank. Without thinking, he pulled Ake Mitsuhide's neck and swam away from the shore in a backstroke posture. He couldn't stay here and act as a target for the Asakura family.
Ah. And this position can not only ensure that Akechi Mitsuhide's head is always exposed in the water and he can breathe, but also can hold him without grabbing Yu Qiuping. However, this backstroke position of swimming with someone is really too slow.
When he saw the Asakura family's ashigaru boarding the rock, seemingly calling for the archers to come over, Yu Qiupei panicked instantly.
"Mitsuhide, can you hear me now? Can you hear me?" Yu Qiuping asked hurriedly towards Akechi Mitsuhide, his voice slightly changed in tone.
Vaguely, he didn't know if he heard it wrong, but he heard a "hmm" anyway. Yu Qiuping ignored it and immediately continued to shout, "This swimming is too slow! I want to swim breaststroke! If you
If you are awake, ride on my back!"
After all, Yu Qiuping couldn't care less. He turned over in the water and struggled into a breaststroke posture. Then, he suddenly felt a force of gravity on his back - Akechi Mitsuhide actually had a clear consciousness.
Climbed up.
"Are you okay now?" Yu Qiuping struggled to raise his head above the water and confirmed in a low voice to Akechi Mitsuhide, "In this position, if you struggle, both of us will be dead!"
"I'm fine." Akechi Mitsuhide's voice was weak, mixed with several violent coughs, but he finally calmed down. Yu Qiuping had never seen anyone calm down so quickly after drowning, but he couldn't care less.
too much.
"Hold on to me!" After Yu Qiuping shouted one last time, he put his head into the water and started swimming vigorously.
·
This was the hardest swim Yu Qiuping had ever done in his life, even harder than when he participated in swimming competitions. Behind him were the Asakura family's archers and the arrows they shot. Fortunately, the accuracy of those arrows was not very good.
None of the arrows hit Yu Qiuping or Akechi Mitsuhide.
And this was also the most tiring time he swam. After swimming less than 200 meters, Yu Qiuping already felt that his physical strength was exhausted. When he was rescuing people just now, he had already used up most of his strength. At this moment, he still had to carry
Swimming alone, I almost didn’t have the strength to breathe. Akechi Mitsuhide was surprisingly light, probably not even 100 pounds, otherwise Yu Qiuping would have sunk long ago.
Moreover, he suddenly felt a little confused. In order to avoid the bows and arrows of the Asakura family, he swam towards the center of Lake Biwa. However, with the pursuit of the Asai-Asakura coalition forces, the entire shore would be occupied, and Yu Qiuping had no chance at all.
We have to settle down somewhere. Do we have to swim to the south bank of Lake Biwa in one go and land on the territory of the Oda family? Lake Biwa is a big lake, and it is at least ten or twenty miles to swim from here to the south bank. With Yu Qiupei's current physical strength, he still has to carry it with him.
Akechi Mitsuhide had no chance of getting there alive.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping himself felt a little confused, and his paddling movements gradually slowed down. Akechi Mitsuhide, who was lying on Yu Qiuping's back, seemed to see Yu Qiuping's concerns, and suddenly said in a low voice:
"Hongye, put me here and leave quickly."
"Guangxiu, what nonsense are you talking about? If it wasn't to save you, why would I bother you for so long?" Yu Qiuping only felt a blush on his face and refused firmly, "You just lie on my back, we will definitely
You can swim to the shore.”
"It's too far, you can't do it." Akechi Mitsuhide's voice was as cold as ice, as if he had taken life and death lightly, "Let me go and leave quickly. You still have a chance to survive alone, take the two of me with you.
I'm going to die." After saying this, Akechi Mitsuhide coughed violently again, as if he had choked on a lot of water from the drowning just now.
"No, I refuse." Yu Qiuping took advantage of the opportunity to breathe and refused firmly again.
"What are you being stupid about?" Seeing how stubborn Yu Qiuping is, Akechi Mitsuhide's voice changed a bit, and it was a bit like a woman's angry tone, "Do you really want to die? You have no chance! You know you
How important is your life? Do you know how many people need you? Do you think you are trying to be a hero? Do you think I will be impressed by you! People who don’t know how to cherish their own lives, I, Akechi Mitsuhide, look down on!"
"People who don't know how to cherish their own lives are just garbage in my opinion." Yu Qiuping once again took advantage of the gap to breathe and uttered a sentence. Then he buried his head in the water and swam a few times again.
Then he raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"But those who abandon their friends are worse than trash."
Akechi Mitsuhide was speechless for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he asked softly: "Why did you do this for me?"
"Mitsuhide, you are my friend, that's enough." Yu Qiuping imitated the tone used by Akechi Mitsuhide when talking to him before, and said playfully, "Moreover, it's not your turn to direct my actions."
After Yu Qiuping said these words, the person on his back suddenly became quiet and stopped talking. He just lay quietly on Yu Qiuping's back. After a while, choking sounds suddenly sounded. Yu Qiuping felt a chill on his neck.
, I don’t know if it’s lake water or tears.
"Hongye, you are a good person."
"But I can't drag you down."
