The splashing water from the fountain pool fell on Yuan Yuxue, soaking a layer of his clothes in front of him, sticking to his body in a mess. Yuan Yuxue paused for a moment, and could only roll up his sleeves in vain to avoid being soaked by the splashing water. Jie Zhouyan frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy, and asked Yuan Yuxue to step back, "I'll do it."
"No need." Yuan Yuxue lowered her eyelashes, and crystal clear water drops fell down. Yuan Yuxue was obviously a little helpless. "The person has been fished out. Stand further away to avoid getting wet."
Jie Zhouyan followed him silently, and as a result, both of their clothes were soaked by the water.
There have always been fountains and pools of this kind used for landscape decoration near Fengdu Tower, with statues of goddesses of beauty or carved mountains of books and forests. The water in the pools always flows slowly, is very clear and cold, and you can see the bottom at a glance. It is about the height of the calf, so even if some students who like to play in the cool air go in, there will be no safety hazards.
But just now, they saw a student almost drowned in the pool. His face was buried in the pool, and his body was struggling violently. The splashing water made it hard to imagine that he had any suicidal thoughts or was impaired in his movements, but his mouth and nose were firmly buried in the water until the strength of his struggle gradually weakened.
After Yuan Yuxue pulled him out of the pool water that only reached his calves, the student's face was as pale as a dead person, with some wet stains on his mouth and nose, and he was no longer breathing. Yuan Yuxue gave him some simple first aid, and his cheek tilted to the side, and he suddenly vomited a mouthful of dirty pool water, coughing and choking as he slowly woke up.
From the water he coughed out came a very strong fishy smell, and even some algae growing in the dark river area.
Yuan Yuxue was looking right at his face.
Although they had only met once, Yuan Yuxue recognized him as Chen Ming, the student who left early that day because he received the "wrong paper".
Chen Ming was obviously still confused for a while. After seeing Yuan Yuxue and Jie Zhouyan, he slowly realized the situation and thanked them. His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper.
His condition was relatively good, and he slowly supported himself with his hands and sat up from the ground. When he saw the pool next to him, an inexplicable fear spread in his eyes—
Yuan Yuxue's eyes also fell on the pool. The splashing water was clear and beautiful in the sunlight, without any abnormality. But Yuan Yuxue knew that when he fished the student out, something took advantage of the white foam created by the splashing water to dive to the bottom of the pool and disappeared.
"Just now... Just now I seemed to have fallen into the sea." Chen Ming suddenly spoke. His voice was still hoarse, obviously because he had injured his throat from drowning, but he still spoke with difficulty: "I was struggling hard, but my hands and feet were entangled and I was dragged into the water. I was dragged to a very deep place, I couldn't open my eyes, and I even felt that my internal organs were about to be squeezed and exploded. I thought I was dead, but... I didn't expect that I could be pulled out."
Not only was he fished out of the water, there was no seabed at all. All there was was a very shallow fountain pool next to him.
