"Save me, Chu Qianli, save me, sir, sir, save me!"
The water was about to reach Yu Linglong's neck.
Because she was sitting on the ground, she was the first to be submerged.
Now, as soon as she opened her mouth, the water seemed to pour in.
Yu Linglong screamed and called for help.
Chu Qianli and Feng Dingchu exchanged glances.
Should they save her?
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
But she had been harming others, she was a bad person. If they saved a bad person, perhaps many good people would be harmed by her in the future.
So, should they not save her?
If they saved her, they would be an accomplice to this bad person!
I also think it makes sense.
Then...
Well...
Let's not save her.
Let's save ourselves first!
Both of them turned around at the same time.
On this point, Chu Qianli felt that this reclusive master had some similarities with her temperament.
If they didn't save her, they didn't have any psychological burden.
While it was cruel to not save someone from certain death, it also depended on who the person was.
Turning around, they continued to search for an exit.
"Save me, save... *glug glug*..."
Soon, Yu Linglong's voice could no longer be heard.
The water rose to Chu Qianli's chest, and then gradually to her neck.
Just as the water was about to reach her mouth, Chu Qianli's hand was released.
She was a little surprised, looked back, and found her waist suddenly tightened. She was lifted up by Feng Dingchu and sat on his shoulders.
"Sir..."
She could save herself, she still had a way.
But this sir seemed to be afraid of water.
In the face of life and death, one's character and integrity could be seen more clearly.
He was truly a good person!
Feng Dingchu didn't speak. He was much taller than Chu Qianli, estimated to be around 1.88 meters.
By letting Chu Qianli sit on his shoulders, her altitude was immediately raised.
Sitting high, she could see far. Chu Qianli suddenly exclaimed, "There's wind!"
There's wind! That means there must be an entrance or exit, otherwise, where would the wind come from?
Feng Dingchu looked up at her. The water level was already at his chest, and soon even he would be submerged.
Chu Qianli said urgently, "I feel wind, wait a moment, it seems... it seems to be on our right."
Feng Dingchu immediately carried her over.
Indeed, the wind was coming from the right, but the exit was so high!
The water level continued to rise, reaching Feng Dingchu's neck.
Too fast!
Before Chu Qianli could think of a way out, the water level reached Feng Dingchu's mouth.
She could clearly feel her slender body stiffen.
This reclusive master was not skilled in water. He was afraid of water!
Feng Dingchu indeed couldn't swim, and in the water, he didn't know how to hold his breath.
The water rose too quickly and churned, making it impossible for him to breathe.
He could only try his best to lift Chu Qianli, allowing her to live a little longer.
He tried to climb up along the stone wall, but the wall was very smooth, and coupled with his subconscious fear in the water, he couldn't use his internal energy. For a moment, he was completely helpless.
Water poured into his mouth and nose, choking him and making it impossible to breathe.
What kind of reclusive master, he never expected to have such a day. Seeing that he was about to give up.
Almost before losing consciousness, Feng Dingchu still raised his hand, forcefully pushing Chu Qianli upwards.
Although the exit was found, it was too high for her to reach.
Unless she was a very good swimmer and could stay in the water until the water level rose to that height, perhaps she could get out.
But these were not things Feng Dingchu could foresee.
Because, due to lack of oxygen, he was completely powerless.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Dingchu's arms, which were holding Chu Qianli, finally softened.
His slender body also fell limply...
