Chapter 150: Risking one's own life and jumping into the water to save others
"This life jacket is too bulky. I want to take a nice photo with you guys." Meng Ling has already put the life jacket down.
"Then Sister Ling, please be careful. This boat is not very stable."
The boat shook slightly, and she staggered in her high heels and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Zhang Yang held her hand and she stabilized.
His hands were strong and powerful. Feeling the warmth from his palms, Meng Ling blushed slightly: "Thank you."
Zhang Yang reminded her again, "Sister Ling, why don't you put on your life jacket? The lake is at least a hundred meters deep."
Meng Ling looked back at the life jackets on the other side and said, "It's a bit troublesome to go back and get them. Let's put them on after we take the photo."
Since the client said so, Zhang Yang couldn't insist on anything. He protected Yingying with one hand and held Meng Ling tightly with the other, asking her to sit down next to him.
The boat shook a little again. The boat was too small, and with three people sitting at one end, the boat was a little unstable.
Yingying smiled and made a scissors hand gesture, while Zhang Yang put his arms around the mother and daughter behind their backs.
Meng Ling took out her cell phone from her handbag, found a good angle, and took a photo of the three people and Lei Fengta who were all smiling happily.
Looking at the photo on her phone, she suddenly had an illusion that she really had a complete family again.
This feeling is like the heart that is always hanging in the air suddenly has a home.
Looking at the slightly tilted boat, Zhang Yang said, "Sister Ling, put on your life jacket first, or I'll go get it for you."
"No need. I'll just go over there." Meng Ling also knew that the boat couldn't be unbalanced for a long time. She put her phone back into her handbag and started to move to the other end of the boat.
As soon as she stood up, the boat began to shake again. Fortunately, Zhang Yang supported her arm and she was fine.
She steadied herself, let go of Zhang Yang's hand, stood up and moved to the other side of the boat. At this time, the boat shook again, and she lost her balance in her high heels and fell into the water!
Zhang Yang was shocked, but he couldn't reach out to grab Meng Ling immediately because he had to stabilize the boat and protect Yingying.
Meng Ling splashed twice in the water: "Help... I... I can't swim..." She quickly drank a few mouthfuls of water and began to sink.
Zhang Yang quickly used his hands to hold the sides of the boat to stabilize it.
Yingying also kept crying: "Wuwu...Mom...Daddy, please save Mom...Wuwu..."
Zhang Yang saw that the boats on the shore were also starting to come over here, but they were still some distance away from here.
It is late autumn now, and the temperature of the lake water is less than ten degrees Celsius. The water is icy cold, and it will be dangerous if people are not rescued immediately.
As he took off his life jacket, he said to Yingying, "Be good, stay in the boat and don't move. Dad will go save mom."
Yingying nodded and said, "Woo woo woo... I will listen to my father and stay on the boat and not move..."
Zhang Yang took a deep breath and dived into the water.
The lake water was indeed icy cold, and the biting cold made his whole body shiver, but he still pulled himself together and searched in the water.
Fortunately, the sunshine was good today and the lake water was not very turbid. He could barely see Meng Ling still struggling in the water. She was still four or five meters away from him.
She was still struggling, but her movements had begun to slow down, and she was sinking deeper and deeper.
No matter when, protecting customers is his first principle!
Zhang Yang kicked his legs hard and dived down, swimming towards Meng Ling, but he was not a very good swimmer and needed Meng Ling's cooperation to rescue her as soon as possible.
At this time, Meng Ling had choked on a lot of water and her consciousness had begun to blur. She vaguely saw the man swimming towards her from the surface of the water.
The sunlight flickered behind him, making it look like he himself was glowing.
That’s right! Zhang Yang is that light! The light that illuminates her and her daughter’s lives!
I still have a daughter, I can't give up!
The last bit of consciousness Meng Ling had left made her try hard to leap upwards again, and she rose a little higher.
Zhang Yang also took the opportunity to grab her wrist, pulled her up, hugged her waist, pulled her to his side, kissed her lips, and blew a breath at her.
A warm touch came from the lips, and it seemed that a warm current blew into Meng Ling's mouth along with the breath.
It was this breath that saved her life when she was about to suffocate. She felt her whole body tremble, and her consciousness recovered a little, and she also had a little weak strength.
Zhang Yang led the two of them and swam hard towards the surface of the water, but his calf muscles suddenly spasmed, causing a sharp pain.
It's over, he knew that his ankle sprain from last night must not have healed yet, and the lake water was too cold, causing his calf to cramp!
But he did not give up and continued to swim hard with one hand and one arm.
Meng Ling in his arms was also using up her strength to move her hands and feet to cooperate with Zhang Yang, but her movements were becoming smaller and smaller, and weaker and weaker.
The water was about to surface in front, but Zhang Yang started to spit out bubbles. He could hardly hold on with two people on his own.
Maybe it would be no problem for him to give up Meng Ling at this moment and float to the surface by himself, but he won't!
Protecting customers is his first principle as a bootlicker, how can he let go of his customers!
He still insisted on paddling, and at this moment, a rope was thrown into the water, and the lifeboat arrived!
He grabbed the rope with one hand, and the people on the boat pulled him up suddenly. The lifeguard also jumped off the boat and brought them both out of the water!
With the help of the lifeguard, Zhang Yang and Meng Ling were finally pushed onto the lifeboat.
Although Meng Ling choked on a lot of water, she was not completely unconscious. She vomited a large mouthful of water and then asked weakly, "Where is my child?"
"Mom! I'm here!" Yingying came over and hugged her mother and cried loudly. The little girl was really scared.
Zhang Yang took the towel handed to him by the lifeguard and put it on Meng Ling. He patted Yingying gently and said, "It's okay. Mom is okay."
Meng Ling, who survived the disaster, felt a sense of fear. If Zhang Yang had not jumped into the water to save her, she and her daughter would have been separated by death.
She said apologetically, "Zhang Yang, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you just now and put on a life jacket on the boat. I almost got you into trouble."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's okay. This is what I should do. Besides, isn't it okay?"
He really did, he almost lost his life because of me, yet he smiled so calmly.
Working in the cruel business world, Meng Ling hadn't felt such a warm feeling for a long time. She didn't know why, but her nose felt sore, and she opened her arms to hug Zhang Yang and burst into tears.
When Yingying saw her mother crying, her emotions were also infected, and she hugged her parents and started crying again.
Seeing this scene, the lifeguards were all moved. They knew what it means to be a friend in need. Just look at this family!
Of course, they didn’t know that the father in front of them who was trying his best to save their mother was actually a fake.
