Zhao Mayi only overheard part of it. Regarding Li Ergou's matter, I thought about it and told him, so that he would have peace of mind. After all, I still have to rely on him for Yizhuang's matter.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, I returned home. My uncle and my father had gone to the fields. I found some ropes for tying the cattle and went to the appointed riverside to wait for Mayi Zhao.

I have not been to the river since my mother returned to the river. Now I stand on the river beach, looking at the calm river water, and I feel a little sad.

"Your grandfather jumped into the river, your mother returned to the water, and my poor apprentice is probably down there too. This water is a monster that eats people!"

At some point, Zhao Mayi walked up behind me.

When I turned around, he changed the subject and said, "Do you have any relics of your grandfather or your mother on you?"

I took out the wooden sign I picked up and handed it over. Zhao Mayi didn't take it, but said: "You can bring it with you, maybe you can use it."

I put it away silently and asked a little childishly: "Uncle Zhao, do you think my grandfather and my mother are still alive?"

Maybe the tone of my question was too sad, so Zhao Mayi comforted me and said, "Boy, it's all over. Don't think about this. Give me the rope!"

I sighed and handed over the rope.

Because it was used to tie cattle, there was some cow dung on it. Zhao Mayi wiped it on the ground in disgust, then tied it around his waist and told me: "I will pull the rope three times later, and you will pull it up quickly."

Be quick and never hesitate, remember?"

"Remember!" I nodded.

Zhao Mayi turned around and stopped talking, her eyes brightened even more. I looked over from the side and found that his pupils were really glowing and turned bright white.

After a while, Zhao Mayi took off her gown, tightened her belt, ran a few steps on the river beach, and jumped into the river. I held the rope with both hands on the bank and kept letting it go.

Zhao Mayi fell into the river without seeing the water splashing up, and in the blink of an eye she was in the middle of the river.

That speed is faster than a fish.

When he reached the middle of the river, he stopped and looked around. His eyes were so bright that he seemed to be able to see things at the bottom of the river.

After confirming the position, Zhao Mayi plunged in with a sudden force. The rope in my hand was pulled and lowered continuously, and it stopped after a full dozen meters. Then the water surface fell into calm.

I counted the time silently, one minute passed...

Two minutes passed...

At four minutes, I panicked a little and hesitated whether to pull the rope.

"breathe!"

I kept inhaling and exhaling to relieve the tension and panic inside me.

Five minutes, six minutes...

When it was almost ten minutes, my hands were trembling, exerting force uncontrollably, and the rope was stretched straight.

At this moment, the rope finally shook vigorously. I counted carefully, three times in total.

I quickly exerted my strength and started to collect the rope.

As a result, my tug seemed to pull the entire Python River. The calm river water suddenly rolled with white waves, and the color of the river bottom was rapidly turning into black, black and thick, as if a giant object was swimming through it, forming a shadow.

I was panicking, but I didn't dare to hesitate in my hands. My feet sank deeply into the pebbles, and I pulled the rope with all my strength. Every time I pulled it back a little, I quickly changed my hands to retract the rope. The underwater things were still caught by me.

Pull it up little by little.

At this time, there was a splash in the water, and Zhao Mayi emerged from the bottom of the water, shouting: "Pull, hurry!"

When he urged me, I panicked and sped up.

Zhao Mai suddenly swam from the center of the river to the shore. Like a big fish, she jumped directly from the water to the shore, grabbed the rope and pulled with me.

However, at this moment, a huge wave of more than ten meters high suddenly rolled up in the river, and the water in the air turned completely ink-colored. Not only that, I also saw countless black iron chains in the water waves.
