Chapter 338 Rescue in the Water

Is it an illusion? Was she seeing him because she was dying?

However, the touch of the body was so real. His strong arms held her body and led her upwards.

It turned out that he really came to save her. At that moment, Xia Ling burst into tears, and all her grievances and unwillingness disappeared. At the most critical moment in her life, at the critical moment of life and death, it turned out that he could lay down his life for her.

He is her god, it turns out, he always has been.

She struggled to raise her head and swam upward with his strength, using her good arm to paddle together in order to relieve his burden. Inadvertently, she touched his wrist.

There seemed to be some hard metal object on his wrist that fell off.

Pei Ziheng turned around suddenly and his expression changed.

Realizing that he was stagnant, Xia Ling pulled him hard and motioned for him to leave quickly. They are all too small before the brute force of nature. If they stay in the water for even one second, the danger will increase exponentially.

However, Pei Ziheng did not leave.

He looked at the direction where the thing sank, and then at her.

A bad premonition arose in Xia Ling's heart. An inexplicable fear filled her heart. It was a very cold feeling, unprecedented terror and darkness... She couldn't explain what that feeling was. She was at a loss and could only use her strength. She pulled him and looked at him pleadingly, hoping that he could take her away from here quickly.

However, he opened her hand bit by bit.

He was strong and determined, peeling her off his arms like a dead object.

Xia Ling didn't expect it to be like this. She finally knew where the fear just came from. In the cold river water, in the rapids where life was in danger at any time, he abandoned her for something she didn't know what it was. .

Without support, her injured arm was unable to paddle. Involuntarily, she was swept away by the rapids and swept away. She opened her eyes wide, desperately trying to see his face clearly, and wanted to ask him why, but he was reluctant to give even a glance at the last moment. He had already turned around and followed the lost item.

Starting from the heart, the cold spreads.

Xia Ling only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she was getting more and more numb, as if she could no longer feel her own existence. After an unknown period of time, she fell into silent darkness.

It was like having a very long dream.

In the dream, there are huge cages, devils, and boundless darkness.

She ran away desperately, terrified, as if being chased by some monster, until a light appeared in front of her. A faint, but bright and warm light. She ran towards the light and faintly heard someone calling her name: "Ling... Xiao Ling, Ye Xingling..."

who is she?

Isn't she Xia Ling? How could it be Ye Xingling?

She paused as she ran toward the beam of light, and her voice became clearer: "Xiao Ling... Ye Xingling... wake up, wake up! Promise me, nothing will happen to you... "

Whose voice is it? So familiar.

Ye Xingling...?

Yes, she is Ye Xingling. Who is Xia Ling? No……

She is no longer Xia Ling.

"Ye Xingling, come back. Ye Xingling!" The familiar voice called eagerly.

She walked hard towards the beam of light in the darkness, staggering, and finally, it was within reach. Her eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes slightly. What came into view was Li Lei's anxious face.

"Xiao Ling, you finally woke up!" He was dripping with water, and his body and face were stained with mud and water plants. He looked dirty and embarrassed. But the smile he showed her was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen in her life. He just smiled like that and said to her, "I will save you! Believe me, I will save you! Xiao Ling, and I say talk, stay awake and don’t fall asleep.”

She felt it was difficult to breathe and her lungs felt uncomfortable, but she obeyed his command and opened her mouth.

"What did you say?" He didn't hear clearly.

"Ugly...so ugly..." she said weakly.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and wiped her face clean of the water stains and grass mud.

"You're not ugly," he said. "You're always the most beautiful."

"I mean...you are ugly." She coughed and smiled weakly.

He was stunned again, but this time he said: "Okay, if you say I am ugly, I will be ugly, but you are not allowed to dislike me. My body has been exposed to you, and you have to be responsible for me." As he said, he put He took off all the wet clothes on his body, revealing his perfectly proportioned upper body and slender legs. He hugged her almost naked, and then covered the two of them with those wet clothes.

"What are you doing?" She didn't have the strength to fight. She looked at him and said with difficulty, "You'll... catch a cold."

"I'm in good health and I'm fine." Li Lei said, "This way you can keep warm. Xiao Ling, hold on a little longer. I have already called for rescue. Someone will come to save you soon. You will survive."

Her body was frighteningly cold, and her pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable. Li Lei had never been so scared in his life. He watched helplessly as her life passed by, but he didn't know if she could be saved.

His body was also very cold. When he went into the water to rescue her, he found that she was entangled in the water plants at the bottom of the river and had fallen into a coma. It took a lot of effort for him to lift her up. He was almost exhausted and needed to replenish his strength. However, even in this situation, he was still worried about her who was weaker, and used his own body temperature as weak as the embers of flames to warm her colder body. Hypothermia can kill people, and he can't let her die.

After hugging her for a while, she regained her breath slightly: "I'm fine, you... don't be like this." She could see that he was very cold, his lips were black and blue from the cold, and he was shivering in the autumn wind in the mountains. However, he put her ice-like hands on his chest. She wanted to move away, but he held on tightly.

"I'm fine." Although his body was shivering from the cold, his voice was steady, "We will all survive. I want to protect you for the rest of my life, but I can't die in front of you."

"Hey..." She interrupted him with some dissatisfaction. How could this person live or die?

He smiled, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I'm here, don't be afraid." Following her pale face, he saw the amulet around her neck. It was made of sycamore wood. He had poured half of his blood into it. She prays for blessings and shares disasters. "You will be fine," Li Lei said again, "You are wearing the amulet I gave you."

She hummed softly.

I remember that at the beginning, she laughed at him that the amulet was a 50-cent street stall product, and she was unwilling to wear it. It wasn’t until I experienced all these things that I discovered that even if it’s a fifty-cent piece of street food, or even something picked up on the roadside, the thoughtfulness contained in it is priceless.

He is the one who can protect her with everything he has.
