History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 41

Although it is the summer moon, the water in Biwen Lake is still icy cold.Lin Lang was afraid of the cold since she was a child, and she felt that her lungs were too cold to breathe after staying in the cold water, so she had never learned how to swim. Now her body was shaken by the water waves, and she sank naturally. She stretched out her hand in horror. , but can't catch anything.

The cold lake water flooded over, and the coolness quickly penetrated into her body, as if it was going to turn her internal organs into ice.

The smooth breathing was only for a moment, her struggle was useless, and her body sank uncontrollably to the bottom of the water. She wanted to call out to Xu Xiang for help, but the sound did not come out, but the lake water poured in from her mouth and nose, almost suffocating.At that moment, she panicked to the extreme, thinking that she was going to die again.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, Lin Lang hated her own carelessness, the smooth sailing after rebirth made her forget that it is necessary to guard against others.What firmly occupied her mind was the smiling faces of Qin Shi and He Wenzhan. She couldn't imagine how Qin Shi would react after learning the news of her drowning.There should be a bright road ahead, but it has to come to an abrupt end at this moment, regret and regret are overwhelming.

She struggled vigorously—she didn't want to die yet!

The lake water poured into her lungs, and she tried to hold her breath to float up, but her body seemed to turn into ice, sinking continuously.Looking up from the water, the water waves kept shaking, Xu Xiang was not far from her, and there was no way to save her at such a short distance...

Consciousness became more and more blurred, and when she was almost desperate, suddenly, two hands grabbed her arms and lifted her out of the water.A certain string in her heart twitched instantly, and her stiff body seemed to have lost the ability to perceive. Lin Lang desperately grabbed the man's arm, which was the life-saving straw for the drowning man.

Her lungs were filled with water and still made her suffocate, but she vaguely felt that she had hope of living again.

Being rescued from the brink of death is tantamount to being born again.

Xu Xiang, who was still dragging Pei Minglan forward in the water, heaved a sigh of relief. Watching Xu Lang skim over the water like a dragonfly, and rescued the little girl who was submerged in the water, Xu Xiang almost thanked the sky loudly.Quickly swimming over and climbing into the cabin, Xu Xiang didn't care about Pei Minglan anymore, and immediately rushed over and said, "What's the matter?"

"I choked on a lot of water." Xu Lang remained calm.Naturally, he didn't care about the difference between men and women at this time. He folded his hands and pressed on her chest, following the method taught by the military doctor. After a while, Lin Lang spit out a mouthful of water, and the siblings next to her felt relieved.

When he relaxed, Xu Lang felt sweat on his forehead and his heart was beating extremely fast. He realized that he cared so much about the life and death of this little girl.

Next to Pei Minglan was still lying upright, Xu Lang glanced at her and said, "Go and see her." After all, she is the daughter of an official family, if Pei Minglan died in this lake, it would be a trouble, so Xu Xiang tossed Pei Minglan like a cat and a tiger.

From this side, Xu Lang looked at Lin Lang's already turning blue face, and when he touched it with his fingers, it was extremely cold.His heart seemed to be squeezed into a ball and he rubbed it fiercely. He couldn't help but wrap the little girl in his arms.The girl's delicate body was pressed against his chest, and some charming thoughts floated in his mind, he drove them away, only the panic that had not yet calmed down——

He has known Lin Lang for many years, so he naturally knows that she suffers from the cold. He didn't feel anything about it before, but now thinking about it, he feels scared.If he hadn't happened to see it just now, I'm afraid... With a thought, Xu Lang immediately said to Xu Xiang: "Xiang'er, you have to teach her to swim."

"But she can't touch the water..." Xu Xiang turned his head and was not surprised when he saw his brother hugging him.

"Isn't there a hot spring in the mountain, there should be no problem." Xu Lang looked up at the mountainside, and Xu Xiang said, "Okay!"

There were only four of them on the boat at the moment, Xu Lang saw that Pei Minglan also vomited water, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he asked Xu Xiang to come over and take care of Lin Lang, he picked up the penny, and the boat quickly sailed to the shore.

When approaching the shore, there was a whistle from afar, and servants from Zhuangzi swarmed over. Xu Lang arranged for someone to send the two girls into the house, asked the little maid to help change their clothes, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to Pei's house.

After everything settled down, Xu Lang pulled Xu Xiang into the inner room, and asked with a sullen face, "Why are there only three of you on board?"

"Originally there was a boat lady, but Pei Minglan said that it's not as comfortable when outsiders are present. It's not as fun as our own boating. I didn't think carefully for a while, but I followed her way." Xu Xiang was not a fool, and he didn't think too much about saving people at the time. Only after he calmed down did he think clearly, now that Pei Minglan was mentioned, he felt regret and resentment at the same time.

She is not a character who can endure a loss, so she immediately raised her head and said to Xu Lang: "Brother, she did it on purpose. If something happens to Lin Lang this time, I will spend my whole life..." If Lin Lang really drowned here, Not only is her conscience uneasy, but the friendship between Xu and He's family may have to cool down, which Xu Xiang cannot afford.

Xu Xiang gritted her teeth secretly, she will remember this lesson for the rest of her life.
