Mr Xie And His Cat - Chapter 22

Most of Ji Qinghuai’s scenes today were scheduled in the afternoon. The shooting process went smoothly. All scenes were completed before dark. Today, the crew has no night scenes, so they can finish work early.

After taking off the hood and the costume, Ji Qinghuai instantly felt a lot more relaxed. It was still early, and it was rare for Xie Yan to come from afar. Ji Qinghuai was going to take Xie Yan to have dinner first.

When he walked out of the lounge, the evening wind was blowing on his face, Ji Qinghuai was wearing short sleeves blowing the wind, and he was in a good mood.

Ji Qinghuai turned to look at Jie Yan, “What would you like to eat at night?”

Xie Yan: “You decide.”

Ji Qinghuai thought for a while, there are no restaurants nearby to take Xieyan to, and if you want to go to a better place, you have to go farther, but they have a car, so it doesn’t take much time to go back and forth.

Ji Qinghuai was about to speak when someone suddenly shouted, “No, someone fell into the water!”

Ji Qinghuai looked forward and saw a field manager hurriedly running here. Ji Qinghuai stopped the field manager and asked, “Who fell into the water? Where is it?”

“I don’t know, it seems to be a student.” The eldest brother of the field manager pointed to the west: “It’s over there, it fell into the reservoir.”

Ji Qinghuai frowned and said to Xie Yan, “I’ll go take a look, you’re waiting for me here.”

Xie Yan said, “Let’s go together.”

Ji Qinghuai and him looked at each other, and the two quickly ran westward together.

Before the two ran to the place, they saw a group of people gathered outside the guardrail of the reservoir from a distance. They ran to the front and saw the boy struggling in the water at a glance.

The boy’s position was a little far from the shore, so it shouldn’t have fallen by accident. Ji Qinghuai didn’t think much about it, he pressed his hand on the railing and was about to turn over, but was pulled.

“You can’t go down!”

It was an old man who held Ji Qinghuai. The uncle explained: “It’s almost half past six, and the reservoir will be released soon. When the water below flows, anyone who goes down will be washed away together.”

Every day at 6:30, the reservoir will open the gate to release water, and the water will flow into other places.

But Ji Qinghuai is not afraid, people will be washed away, he will not.

“Thank you for your reminder.” After that, Ji Qinghuai flipped over the guardrail and jumped straight down.

“Hey!” The uncle exclaimed, Ji Qinghuai moved too fast, he didn’t even hold back.

Xie Yan watched from the side, not too worried, but her eyes kept following Ji Qinghuai.

Ji Qinghuai fell into the water, and his body was soaked instantly. Although it was midsummer, the water in the reservoir was bitingly cold.

He looked forward. The boy was still struggling, but he might sink at any time because he was exhausted. Ji Qinghuai didn’t care about the cold in the water and swam towards the boy.

The distance between the two was not close, and it took time for Ji Qinghuai to swim over. The boy choked several saliva in succession, and was about to struggle. The people on the shore watched in horror, watching the boy’s head not sink into the water.

When Ji Qinghuai saw this, he plunged into the water and disappeared with the boy. So far, there was no movement on the water for a while.

The uncle shook his head regretfully.

A boy beside him cried out loudly.

As soon as he cried out, there was a sudden splash of water on the water, and then two heads emerged from the water. The uncle looked closely and saw that it was the young man who jumped into the water to save the life, and the drowning boy was still in his arms.

The uncle was overjoyed, and everyone on the shore was relieved, only Xie Yan noticed that something was wrong with Ji Qinghuai.

Xu Luo said that people who are suffering from cold poison should touch or eat as little as possible to avoid cold poison attacks. The water in this reservoir is living water, and normal people will feel cold when touched. It’s cold, I’m afraid Ji Qinghuai can’t stand it.

He was careless.

And Xie Yan guessed right, Ji Qinghuai’s body was indeed affected by the cold underwater, but now he didn’t care about the discomfort on his body and dragged the boy to the shore.

At this time, the previous eldest brother ran back again with the rope in his hand. The distance between the water surface and the shore was not short. Without the rope, even if someone went down to save someone, he would not be able to get up. That eldest brother just went back to ask for help. and the one holding the rope.

Seeing Ji Qinghuai and the others swimming over, the eldest brother wrapped one end of the rope around his hand twice, and threw the other end down. Ji Qinghuai grabbed the rope and tied it around the boy’s waist.

The boy was in a coma and needed treatment as soon as possible. Ji Qinghuai tried to pull it twice to make sure the rope was fastened and raised his head and shouted, “Pull up.”

The eldest brother hurriedly pulled the rope back, and several passers-by who had been watching on the shore also came to help. The boy was light and was quickly pulled up.

The field manager untied the rope on the boy’s body, not caring about the boy’s condition, and threw the rope down again. Ji Qinghuai grabbed it, wrapped the rope twice around his waist, and tied the knot. Xie Yan on the shore frowned slightly. .

Ji Qinghuai’s movements were obviously slower than before.

Ji Qinghuai tied the knot, grabbed the rope with both hands, and shouted, “Okay, pull it.”

The field manager and passers-by pulled him up together. At the same time, the originally still water surface began to flow slowly, and the reservoir began to release water.

Ji Qinghuai’s body was suspended in mid-air, watching the water below become more and more turbulent, only then did he know that what the uncle said was true.

With such a rush of water, most people don’t know where they will be washed when they go down. It is no wonder that no one dares to go into the water to save people. God destined that the boy should never meet them, otherwise it will be more fortunate.

Ji Qinghuai was getting closer and closer to the shore and could be pulled ashore soon, but Xie Yan suddenly found that the rope near Ji Qinghuai was about to break.

This rope was just taken from the crew by the field manager. At that time, he didn’t pay attention to the rescuers. It happened that he took a severely worn rope. Ji Qinghuai was an adult after all, and the weight was placed there. The remaining one-third of the fracture may not be able to bear this weight.

Xie Yan was suddenly a little irritable.

Whether it’s saving people or letting Ji Qinghuai and the child go ashore, it was originally a simple matter, as long as the demon power was activated, but now there are so many people on the shore, they can’t reveal their identities, they can only go down and drag them up. Now I have to bet on whether the rope can hold up.

Xie Yan didn’t want to gamble, he was not at ease, he simply turned over from the guardrail, grabbed the guardrail with one hand, and reached out to Ji Qinghuai with the other.

Ji Qinghuai was a little surprised. Even though he was so close to the shore, Xie Yan deliberately climbed over the guardrail to pull him.

Ji Qinghuai smiled and reached out to grab Jieyan’s hand, just as he was about to grab it, he suddenly heard a “pop” in his ear.

The rope is broken.

Ji Qinghuai’s fingertips brushed on Xieyan’s hand and fell straight into the water.

On Xie Yan’s hand, the place where Ji Qinghuai’s fingertips touched left a chill. Xie Yan looked at Ji Qinghuai who was submerged in the water, and jumped down without hesitation.
