Rise of the Poor

Chapter 470: There is no such thing as a dead end

Views:

The sea water was dark and the temperature was very low. Zhu Ping'an could not help but shiver as he soaked in the sea water. He swam hard in the direction of the voices of Li Shu and Baozi, the little maid, who were calling for help.

There was widespread grief all around, and many people had sunk to the bottom of the sea forever in the sudden huge wave, never to float up again...

Li Shu's lips had turned white. She could no longer hold on under the sweeping waves of the dark, cold sea water. She had no strength left and her body temperature gradually faded away. When she was once again pulled into the sea and drowned, Li Shu no longer had the strength to struggle.

That's it...

I don't know what happened to the stinky toad...

When Qu Yuan drowned, some people threw zongzi to prevent fish and turtles from biting his body. No one threw zongzi for me. I hope no fish will bite my body. I don’t want to become an ugly ghost after I die. Even if I die, I will still see stinky toads in my dreams. If I am bitten by fish and become an ugly ghost, I am afraid that seeing stinky toads in my dreams will scare me.

The wedding room in Xiahe Village is ready, right

It's a pity that I couldn't become the bride of the stinky toad...

Just when Li Shu thought she would sink to the bottom of the sea forever, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm and then she was pulled out of the sea with force.

Breathing the long-lost air again, Li Shu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then she started coughing due to choking.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to pull down the painting."

A familiar voice that made Li Shu want to cry sounded in her ears. It was the voice of the owner of that hand, the stinky toad that she had been thinking about just now.

"Wuwu... Why did you come just now..." Li Shu tightly grasped Zhu Ping'an's arm. Having survived the disaster, she couldn't help but sob with her lips pursed.

"Okay, it's okay."

Zhu Ping'an was at a loss as to what to do in the face of Li Shu's crying. He tried clumsily to comfort her, then swam forward two meters with Li Shu and pulled up the little maid who was almost rolling her eyes in the sea water.

"Miss... ... Master... ... I thought I would never see you again. Wuuuu..." The chubby little maid hugged Li Shu and burst into tears, tears and snot pouring out of her chubby face. The thrilling scene just now scared her.

Although Li Shu and the maid Baozi were rescued, the danger was not over. If it was just Zhu Pingan alone, there would be no problem at all, but with Li Shu and the maid Baozi, it was too tiring for Zhu Pingan to paddle in the water and float in the sea with the help of a buoy.

As time went by, Zhu Ping'an's physical strength continued to be consumed, and it became more and more difficult. He gritted his teeth and persisted.

With their physical strength exhausted, only destruction awaits them.

"Zhu Ping'an, don't worry about us, just let go." Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was getting more and more exhausted, Li Shu couldn't help but bite her lip and made a difficult decision.

"Don't talk, and conserve your strength." Zhu Ping'an said lightly, increasing the strength of his hands.

Wave after wave, when Zhu Ping'an struggled to drag the two out of the waves again, his physical strength was about to run out, his hands began to go numb, and it seemed that he had reached his limit.

However, there is always a way out. When Zhu Ping'an was about to run out of energy, he used the light of lightning to find a floating cabinet not far away. It should be the cabinet where Li Shu and Baozi, the little maid, hid when they were on the boat. The wooden cabinet was large in size, almost like a small boat, and the floating space was also large. It was much easier to float on the water with the help of the cabinet.

There is salvation. Seeing the cabinet, Zhu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, because hope stimulated a surge of strength in his body.

"Hold on to my clothes. Listen to me, there is a locker in front of the left. If we swim to the locker, we will be saved."

Zhu Ping'an spit out a mouthful of sea water, took a breath, looked at Li Shu and the little maid Baozi and spoke with confidence. With a ray of hope, Li Shu and the little maid Baozi rekindled their hope for survival.

"Listen to me, both of you hold my clothes with one hand, and use the other hand to paddle from front to back. I will control the direction. Yes, that's right, that's it..."

As Zhu Ping'an spoke, he calmly directed Li Shu and the little maid Baozi to join in paddling. Then, according to the direction of the cabinet he remembered in his mind, he used his hands and feet to control the direction in the dark sea and paddled towards the cabinet.

The cabinet was not far away. After about five minutes, Zhu Ping'an touched the edge of the cabinet. Then he pulled the cabinet to his side with force. He felt the size and buoyancy of the cabinet and estimated that it could bear the weight of Li Shu and the little maid Baozi.

"Go up, you two try to climb up." After Zhu Ping'an pulled the cabinet to his side, he said to Li Shu and Baozi, the little maid.

"What about you?" Li Shu asked.

"You guys go up first." Zhu Ping'an did not answer, but urged the two to go up first. The cabinet could only support two people at most, and it could not support three people at all. Of course, if Zhu Ping'an did not go up, he could save a lot of effort by relying on the buoyancy of the cabinet.

At Zhu Ping'an's urging, Li Shu and the maid Baozi began to climb onto the cabinet. Baozi, the maid often did physical work, so it was OK for her. Although it was a bit strenuous, she still climbed up. But Li Shu was not so good. As a pampered young lady who had never done housework, it was difficult for her to climb onto the cabinet.

The little maidservant Baozi held Li Shu's hand on the cabinet. Li Shu had a hard time climbing up and climbed up at a snail's pace...

Zhu Ping'an, who couldn't bear to watch it, reached out to help Li Shu. Without thinking too much, he put his hand on Li Shu's butt and pushed up, pressing on the lump of flesh and pushing Li Shu up in one go.

The doer is unintentional, but the receiver is intentional.

Rourou was held down and pushed up. Li Shu, who was lying on the cabinet, seemed to have her red veil lifted by Sina on her wedding night. Her pretty face turned red with shame, and even her ears were red. Fortunately, it was at night and no one could see it, otherwise the chubby little maid would have made a fuss and asked what was wrong with the young lady.

Zhu Ping'an definitely didn't mean it... Li Shu thought with red ears.

"Hold it tight."

After Zhu Ping'an pushed Li Shu onto the cabinet, he patted the place where he had pushed her and told Li Shu to hold on to the cabinet tightly.

Snap... Snap

Under the action of water, the hands and flesh made clear popping sounds.

Moan

Li Shu made a cat-like sound.

Bad guy... ... Li Shu felt that her face was almost ripe. She bit her lip and glared at Zhu Ping'an in reproach... ... This bad guy clapped, how could he clap so loudly

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ping'an asked in confusion when he saw Li Shu looking at him.

"You hurt me." Li Shu was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she could only use this obscure way to remind Zhu Ping'an that he had slapped his hands in the wrong place.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Zhu Ping'an apologized quickly, and then rubbed Li Shu with a sincere apology.

I rubbed it a bit...

Zhu Ping'an didn't think much about it, thinking that since it hurts, I'll rub it for you. You really have the temper of a spoiled little girl, with delicate skin and tender flesh. I clearly didn't slap you hard just now.

Well

Li Shu looks slim, but I didn't expect she has so much flesh. It feels like a big lump of flesh when I touch it...

Uh, wait, that doesn't seem right.

Zhu Ping'an suddenly understood, stopped rubbing his hands to apologize, and then silently withdrew them.

The night was dark and the waves were high, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward (to be continued.)
