"Isn't there going to be any accidents?"
Wang Shuai asked. Although he wanted to play the hero saving the beauty, Su Qingqing and Sun Tiantian couldn't have anything go wrong.
"Don't worry, Young Master Wang. The river downstream is wider than here, but the water isn't deep, and the flow is quite slow. As long as you know how to swim, just watch for the right moment to rescue them. Besides, Chen He and I will follow right behind, ensuring their safety."
Feng Shan said.
"Good, that's reassuring."
Wang Shuai nodded with a smile, looked over, and saw that Su Qingqing and Sun Tiantian were already ready to set off.
"Wei, Juejin, let's move."
Wang Shuai said to Zheng Wei and Fan Juejin.
At that moment, Wang Shuai's trio boarded a three-person inflatable raft, loosened the ropes holding the raft, and went downstream with the flow.
Rafting can be described as a sport for the brave. Amid the rushing waters, riding the inflatable raft downstream, the splashing water hits you, feeling refreshing and cool. Surrounded by green mountains, with blue skies and white clouds overhead, as you drift, embracing the challenges of the river, there is a unique thrill.
This sport has become the favorite outdoor activity for many young people in the city when they want to relax.
At this moment, Qin Yang and Lu Bingyao were sitting in the inflatable raft, going down the rushing river, genuinely feeling the essence of rafting. The river water was very cool, splashing everywhere. Especially when descending from heights, the water splashed directly into the raft, creating intense excitement.
"Splash!"
The inflatable raft went straight down a steep slope.
"Ah!"
Lu Bingyao, caught off guard, screamed and bumped into Qin Yang's arms.
Qin Yang was stunned.
"Release me."
Feeling Qin Yang's breath, Lu Bingyao's pretty face blushed instantly, softly scolding.
"Ahem, it seems you bumped into me."
Qin Yang coughed lightly, staring at Lu Bingyao.
"I was caught off guard..."
As soon as Lu Bingyao finished speaking, another steep slope appeared. Even though she was tightly gripping the raft's safety rope, her body involuntarily bumped into Qin Yang's arms again; there was no choice, it was inertia.
Splash.
The inflatable raft sank slightly, with cool river water pouring into it, and Lu Bingyao once again crashed into Qin Yang.
"See, I told you, you did it voluntarily. Look, both my hands are holding the safety rope."
Qin Yang shrugged, said with a smile.
I voluntarily did it, my foot! If I was sitting over there, you'd definitely crash towards me... but it seems like I'm getting the short end of the stick here.
Lu Bingyao gritted her teeth, chose to ignore the smiling Qin Yang, skillfully tapped the raft with her foot, and moved to the other end of the inflatable raft.
"Hmph, twice already..."
Sun Tiantian bit her rosy lips, softly huffed, and tightened her grip on the safety rope.
Su Qingqing followed Sun Tiantian's gaze and saw Lu Bingyao bumping into Qin Yang's arms, her bright eyes flickering slightly.
"What is it, jealous? Come here, let me hug you too."
Seeing Sun Tiantian's displeased face, Su Qingqing laughed immediately, released one hand, and hugged Sun Tiantian.
"Lucky Qin Yang, if only you, Brother Wang, were in the same raft with Su Qingqing, wouldn't that be nice."
On a nearby three-person inflatable raft, Zheng Wei commented with envy.
"Indeed, if only I were in the same inflatable raft with Su Qingqing."
Wang Shuai smacked his lips, said, but his request had been rejected by Su Qingqing.
"Don't worry, Brother Wang, once we reach downstream, it'll be your time to shine."
Zheng Wei laughed.
"Hehe, watch me."
Wang Shuai grinned, rubbed his hands, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Su Qingqing falls into the water, then heroically jumps from the inflatable raft, sprinting with speed to rescue her.
Splash!
Just as Wang Shuai grinned and imagined, their three-person inflatable raft crashed into a large protruding rock in the river.
Bang!!
In the rushing river, the raft plummeted down a large slope.
With the violent impact, Zheng Wei and Fan Juejin couldn't hold steady, both landing on Wang Shuai.
The tall and strong Zheng Wei pressed down on Wang Shuai first, followed closely by Fan Juejin.
"Oh my, what are you doing."
Wang Shuai's eyes narrowed, internally screamed, as the heroic fantasy of saving beauties shattered in an instant.
Splash!!
Due to the raft holding three people, it was too heavy and flipped over completely.
The icy river water enveloped all three of them, and in the muddle, one person swallowed some water, having throats and nostrils filled with river water.
"I can't swim, help..."
Zheng Wei flailing in the water, shouted loudly.
"Brother Wang, save me, save me..."
The more Zheng Wei flailed, the more he drank, the icy river water choked him, making it hard to catch his breath.
Wang Shuai wiped the water off his face, looking at Zheng Wei struggling in the water, feeling utterly speechless.
"You're wearing a life jacket, what are you screaming for."
Wang Shuai shouted.
"Brother Wang, help..."
However, at this moment, Zheng Wei had already swallowed a lot of water and was probably close to passing out, being pushed downstream by the turbulent river while shouting loudly.
This somewhat piercing scream caught the attention of everyone present.
Fan Juejin was a bit more stable, floating on the water's surface, not thrashing about like Zheng Wei.
"Juejin, go flip the rubber dinghy over, I'll go save him."
Wang Shuai felt deeply embarrassed, with a face full of helplessness, and swam towards Zheng Wei.
As Wang Shuai approached, the two-hundred-pound Zheng Wei clung to him like a life-saving straw, wrapping himself around Wang Shuai from behind like an octopus.
Wang Shuai's face darkened, thinking, "Why the heck is this big guy hugging me?"
At this moment, if they weren't both wearing life jackets, even with Wang Shuai's good swimming skills, he might have been dragged underwater by this big fellow.
After some struggle, the three finally got back onto the rubber dinghy.
"Ah hoo, ah hoo..."
Zheng Wei was panting heavily, completely drenched, with water droplets continuously dripping from his hair and face.
"Huff huff huff..."
Wang Shuai was also utterly exhausted, panting heavily. Dragging such a big guy like Zheng Wei onto the rubber dinghy was no easy task, and his neck had two red marks from being choked.
"Tha...nk... thank you, Brother Wang."
Zheng Wei was still in shock, his stomach full of water, and he felt like vomiting every time he tried to speak.
"I-I say, Weizi, you're wearing a life jacket, what are you afraid of? The more you struggle, the more water you'll swallow. I haven't even saved the damsel in distress yet, and I've already ended up saving you."
Wang Shuai's face was also a bit pale; he had swallowed quite a bit of water too, all thanks to Zheng Wei.
"Sorry, Brother Wang, I didn't do it on purpose."
Zheng Wei blushed, feeling that his earlier behavior was a bit embarrassing.
"Forget it, let me catch my breath, otherwise if Su Qingqing falls into the water later, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to save her," Wang Shuai said.
At this moment, the view gradually broadened, with green mountains on both sides, the rippling blue waves, and the sky washed clean and blue.
"Brother Wang, it looks like we're approaching the lower reaches."
Fan Juejin said.
"Yeah, Juejin, keep a close watch, I'll rest for a bit first."
Wang Shuai nodded slightly, still panting heavily.
The riverbank downstream was very wide, and the flow much slower. Many classmates were already paddling with wooden oars.
"Tiantian, don't you feel that the rubber dinghy's air isn't quite as full?"
Su Qingqing suddenly said, frowning.
"I feel the same."
Sun Tiantian also said, puzzled. By now, she could distinctly feel that where she was holding the safety rope, the elasticity of the rubber dinghy wasn't as firm, feeling somewhat soft.
"Could it be leaking?"
Su Qingqing said.
As the two spoke, they could clearly feel the rubber dinghy sinking slightly into the water.
"Tiantian, let's row quickly, once we reach the shore, we'll be fine."
Su Qingqing said hastily.
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Sun Tiantian's pretty face changed slightly as she spoke.
Cold river water poured into the rubber dinghy, causing it to sink immediately.
"Ah!"
The two girls let out a scream and fell into the water.
"Brother Wang, they've fallen into the water. It's time for you to play the hero," Fan Juejin quickly said to Wang Shuai.
"Yeah, Brother Wang, go quickly..."
Zheng Wei had regained a bit of strength and said.
Wang Shuai looked over to where Su Qingqing and the others had fallen into the water, seeing it was over a hundred meters away.
Just now, while carrying Zheng Wei, he had exerted all his energy, and his muscles were still sore from the exertion.
It was the lactic acid produced by intense exercise; at this moment, he really didn't want to go into the water and didn't have the strength to do so.
"Brother Wang, hurry up, opportunities don't wait for anyone," Fan Juejin urged.
Wang Shuai gritted his teeth and nodded. He couldn't miss this hard-earned opportunity; a man must be tough on himself.
Splosh!
Right then, Wang Shuai flipped over and dove into the water. However, despite his desperate effort, after swimming a few meters, his face turned white.
"Damn, why is it that at the crucial moment, my foot suddenly cramps!"
Wang Shuai's face turned pale, his right foot stiff and completely immobile.
In the distance, Qin Yang was paddling with a wooden oar, gently drifting on the river, when he furrowed his brows and noticed the two girls who had fallen into the water in the distance.
At this moment, the distance to the two girls was a bit far, roughly about two hundred meters.
"The rubber dinghy is leaking?"
Qin Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Water Manipulation Technique, go!"
Qin Yang formed a hand seal, uttering a light command.
Swoosh!
As if propelled by some invisible force, the rubber dinghy shot towards where the two girls had fallen into the water, like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
