Monkey was curious about everything. He was bold and unafraid. He jumped up and mimicked Fangzheng's actions. He wrapped his arms around Fangzheng's waist and looked around, unsure of what it was.
But the next moment, there was the sound of the accelerator. Monkey nearly let go and jumped off the bike in fright.
Thankfully, Fangzheng grabbed his hand, preventing him from escaping. Following that, Fangzheng gave a Buddhist proclamation. "Amitabha."
Only then did Monkey calm down. However, he was still a little afraid. He no longer dared to look around as he hugged Fangzheng tightly, afraid that he would fall.
"Sit tight. Let's go." After Wang Yougui said that, he pressed down on the accelerator as the motorcycle sped up.
Monkey's expression turned ashen from fright. However, he was ultimately a monkey. After realizing that there was no danger, he became bolder again and began looking around. Towards the end, he even wanted to release one hand and start flailing around.
Fangzheng hurriedly made him behave. It was no trifling matter to mess around on the road. Any collision could result in a life being at stake.
One Finger Village wasn't considered close to Hongyan Village, and Wang Yougui was in a rush. Therefore, he didn't drive too slowly, but he didn't exceed the speed limit either. Soon, he left One Finger Village and arrived in front of a bridge half an hour later. Just as he was about to cross the river, he suddenly saw a woman jump off the bridge!
Fangzheng and Wang Yougui saw this scene. Wang Yougui hurriedly braked and jumped off the bike before running over! A life was at stake. It was fine if he didn't see it, but how could he ignore it now that he had seen it?
But at that moment, two figures rushed to the river before Fangzheng did. They plopped into the river.
Almost at the same time, there were two clangs. Two bicycles had fallen to the ground. Clearly, the two men had charged down without stopping.
When the people fishing by the river saw this scene, they immediately shouted for help. Some called the police while others searched for ropes. All of them prepared to rescue the men.
When Fangzheng saw this scene, he felt a lot more relieved. Although he could have a draw by saving people, saving others also gave him merit. He couldn't take care of all the good things. Whether a world could be good or not, no matter how much a person did, he was only a role model. What mattered was the overall atmosphere. Seeing the two men enter the water, Fangzheng watched from the shore with everyone. When the rope came, he would throw it to help.
Looking down, they saw that the river was surging, and above it, two men were swimming with all their might, trying their best to hold on to a woman so that she wouldn't sink. However, the woman was a little strange, no matter how hard the two men tried, they couldn't help her up.
"Oh no, I'm afraid he's been entangled by some seaweed," an old fisherman said worriedly.
"This won't do. The two of them won't last long. This was the Spinning Top River, and it could form all sorts of whirlpools at any time. Once a whirlpool formed, all three of them would be doomed! Hurry up and find a boat! "Wang Yougui shouted after seeing the situation.
An old man on the side said, "I've already called them, but this place is too far from the village. It will be difficult for the nearby fishermen to rush over." The old man was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
When Fangzheng heard that, he recalled that the river in front of him was no ordinary river. It was not the calm mirror-like White River in front of Baiyun Monastery. This was a tributary of the Songhua River, named the Spinning Top River. As the terrain beneath the river was complicated, the river's surface often formed whirlpools, giving it such a vivid name.
With this in mind, Fangzheng knew that he could not wait any longer. While everyone was watching the river, Fangzheng left the bridge and ran to the other side of the bridge where no one was looking. Then, he took off his Savior shoes and stuffed them into his clothes. He took a deep breath and charged straight into the Spinning Top River.
One would not know how difficult it was to save someone without rescuing them. The river was extremely cold at the beginning of spring, and the water was bone-chilling. Fangzheng had the White Lunar Monk Robe to protect him, which kept him warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Although Fangzheng was cold, he was fine, but he could imagine how cold the two Good Samaritans were enduring. Fangzheng could not help but marvel at the duo. They were true heroes! As for himself, he was only a fake hero. Without the White Lunar Monk Robe, a non-swimmer like him would not dare enter the water.
That's right, Fangzheng did not know how to swim. The moment he entered the water, he would sink to the bottom. However, humans had buoyancy. The feeling of being stuck in the Chaos left Fangzheng depressed. Helpless, he could only search around blindly. Finally, he found a huge rock. Only after hugging the rock did he sink to the bottom.
Fangzheng chose a direction and headed straight for the other side of the bridge.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bridge.
"Brother, support her head. She needs to breathe or she will suffocate to death!" shouted Hong Qianjie.
Today, Hong Qianjie and Hong Qianxi had gone to Hongyan Monastery to participate in the Dharma Assembly and join in the fun. The two of them did not believe in ghosts, nor did they believe in Buddha. This time, they were purely here to join in the fun.
However, they never expected to encounter a woman committing suicide on the way. In a moment of impetuousness, all they wanted to do was save her. The duo jumped off the bicycles they were riding and jumped into the river. Thankfully, the duo knew how to swim and were quite good at it. Furthermore, they reacted quickly, so the woman was not washed away by the river. The duo grabbed her in time and lifted her up. But there was a problem. The woman's body seemed to be tugged at by something. She was unable to be completely lifted out of the water. Her face remained underwater, preventing her from breathing.
Hong Qianxi yelled, "Hold her up. I'll dive down to take a look. She's most likely entangled by water plants."
"Alright, hurry up. I can't hold on much longer," said Hong Qianjie.
Hong Qianxi responded and dove into the water.
It was the beginning of spring. The snow on the mountain had melted, and all the water had gathered in the river. The river flowed faster than usual, and the impact was greater. Hong Qianxi found it even more difficult to enter the water. Looking down, they saw that the water plants were indeed entangling the woman's ankle. Hong Qianxi attempted to untie the water plants but they were too tightly bound. He could not tear them apart with his hands. Furthermore, there were too many water plants below. If he and Hong Qianjie were not careful, they would be swept away!
After a few attempts, Hong Qianjie floated up and shouted, "This won't do. I can't break them with my hands. I have to use a knife!"
"Give her CPR. She can't take it anymore," shouted Hong Qianjie.
Hong Qianxi took a deep breath and dove down to give the woman CPR with oxygen. Hong Qianjie pinched the woman's nose, trying his best to prevent her from drinking water. However, it was clearly not a long-term solution. The only thing that gave Hong Qianjie peace of mind was that although the woman had committed suicide, she was already unconscious. Otherwise, if he were to struggle while conscious, he would be in big trouble.
At that moment, someone shouted, "No good! A whirlpool has appeared!"
Almost at the same time, Hong Qianxi and Hong Qianjie felt the water flow around them change. They felt their ankles tighten as they were entangled by the water plants! The hearts of the two of them instantly turned cold!
Hong Qianxi popped his head out and shouted, "Brother, I've been entangled by the water plants. Quickly leave!"
"I can't leave. I've been entangled too." Hong Qianjie turned anxious as well.
