Chapter 52 Interlocking Fingers
Su Ling'er was extremely excited. In the past, when she was carrying heavy loads for cross-country trips, she would always wear shoes to wade through the dirty muddy water. Every night when she rested, she would feel muddy and uncomfortable. How could it compare with the beautiful scenery this time?
Not only are the mountains and rivers beautiful, but the gardens are also relaxing.
The dense jungle on both sides of the river passed by before my eyes, and the gentle sound of wind in my ears made my hair flutter.
Su Ling'er was very interested and waved to Shen Muyun, motioning for him to come to her side.
Maybe it was because it was going downstream. The bamboo raft moved very fast, and Shen Mufeng only needed to support the pole alone.
Shen Muyun didn't know what Su Ling'er wanted to do, but looking at her bright eyes, he couldn't help but walked over, wanting to get close to her regardless of the reason.
When Shen Muyun came to her side, Su Ling'er put her arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Hold me, I want to play in the water."
Shen Muyun was stunned. He was about to ask her how she wanted to play in the water, but he saw that she had already started to take off her shoes.
His face sank and he scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Su Ling'er was stunned and responded in confusion: "Take off your shoes and wash your feet in the water."
Shen Muyun gently pulled her arm, his face became more gloomy, he turned to look at Shen Mufeng, and saw that he was talking to He while holding up the pole, and then turned his head.
"Did you memorize all the Women's Commandments in vain?" The words had an educational meaning.
Su Ling'er then woke up. In ancient times, it was really inappropriate for a woman to take off her shoes and expose her feet. Generally speaking, this was only allowed in front of her husband and between bedmates.
Seeing Shen Muyun's slightly displeased look, she compromised for the first time. It wasn't that she was afraid of him, but that her predecessor, Su Ling'er, had a bad reputation to begin with, and she didn't want to add to her bad reputation.
She slowly put her shoes back on, but before she could stand still, she suddenly felt the bamboo raft suddenly accelerate.
The sudden acceleration of the bamboo raft alarmed Shen Mufeng and his wife behind them. Shen Mufeng stretched out his head to take a look and said in shock: "It's broken. Seeing how fast the water flow is, I'm afraid this mountain stream is the source of the cliff waterfall below!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo raft was suddenly hit by the whirlpool of the rapid water and jumped up into the sky, then fell heavily to the water, splashing as high as a person.
Su Ling'er's heart sank, her intuition was a bit bad.
The water flow became more and more turbulent, and there were many whirlpools. The angle of the bamboo raft was almost 45 degrees, and the end of the cliff was already in their sight.
Su Ling'er pulled Shen Muyun's arm tightly and asked in a tight voice: "What should I do?"
Shen Muyun did not answer, but turned around and looked around. The mountain stream was now very wide, and the bamboo raft was already far away from the shore. In the rapid movement, it may not be impossible to jump to the shore. If the shore If there are hanging branches, then the possibility of success will be very high, but now it is obviously not the case.
Shen Muyun stretched out his hand and hugged Su Ling'er's waist tightly, secretly getting lucky and preparing to jump up at the right moment.
At this moment, the bamboo raft bumped, and He somehow broke away from Shen Mufeng's arm and rushed to their side, as if he was about to fall into the stream.
Su Ling'er quickly leaned out of Shen Muyun's arms and reached out to pull her.
The moment she grabbed He, the bamboo raft made another leap. Su Ling'er felt that a powerful force came from nowhere and threw her, and her body suddenly jumped up.
Without martial arts, she naturally couldn't turn over dexterously while flying. In just a moment, she fell into the cold stream with a "pop".
The stream that originally felt so refreshing now smells a bit like death.
It wasn't that Su Ling'er couldn't swim, it was just because the stream was too fast that she sank immediately as soon as she emerged from the water. What was even worse was that her body couldn't resist the fast current at all, and she was rushing towards it. It flows away from the cliff.
The moment Shen Muyun on the bamboo raft saw Su Ling'er falling into the water, he jumped into the air without hesitation, and then fell into the water with a "plop" at the place closest to her.
Su Ling'er felt suffocated in the ups and downs, and suddenly felt a strong hand holding her.
Turning around to look, I saw that extremely handsome face so close at hand!
At this moment, her heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
In the surging water, Shen Muyun showed her a warm smile, squeezed her hand tightly under the water, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Su Ling'er suddenly felt at ease and couldn't help but intertwined her fingers with him.
I heard him suddenly looking ahead and shouting in a loud voice: "Don't be afraid, hold me tight and never let go!" There was a bit of nervousness in his voice.
Su Ling'er was shocked, turned her head and followed his gaze, and saw clouds that seemed to be close at hand...
At this moment, they were holding hands, interlocking their fingers, and fell straight down the water from the top of the high cliff.
The feeling of weightlessness and the impact of running water made Su Ling'er almost suffocate several times, but at the moment she fainted, she still firmly remembered his words "hold his hand"...
***
In the evening, the rosy clouds in the west dyed half of the sky red, and Su Ling'er woke up from her coma.
She sat up suddenly, turned around and found herself lying on a rocky beach.
There seemed to be something soft under her body. She looked down and was shocked. The person lying under her was actually Shen Muyun! And her whole body seemed to be pressing on him!
She quickly rolled off his body to look at him. She saw him lying there quietly, his eyes closed and his face pale. There was a blood stain on his forehead, probably from being knocked on a stone when he fell.
Su Ling'er's heart suddenly started beating wildly, and she felt a little scared.
She stretched out her hand and gently reached under his nose. She stopped before she even touched his face.
She felt as if her heart had stopped beating for two beats, and she felt suffocated. The fear of losing him made her limbs so weak that she almost lost the courage to put her fingers under his nose.
She stood up, looked at the sky, took a deep breath, then squatted down again and thrust her trembling fingers under his nose.
There seemed to be a faint breath under his nose. Su Ling'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt a little unbelievable and put her hand to his neck.
It wasn't until she felt a faint beating on his neck that Su Ling'er's heart felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground, and suddenly her whole body became weak and paralyzed.
Su Ling'er sat slumped next to Shen Muyun, looking at the solidified blood stains on his forehead, and then looking at the way he was lying there, she suddenly felt deeply moved in her heart, and her eyes turned red involuntarily.
