Chapter 2361: Niansheng
Mary was good at water and knew breaststroke, so she suddenly fell into the water and was not too scared. After the initial surprise dissipated, she quickly calmed down and wanted to climb to the riverside. But the water was too fast. She rolled in the water several times before she luckily floated her head out of the water and took a breath, but her body was quickly washed away by the water and was sinking into the water again.
Then she began to fight wits and courage with the river. After several ups and downs, she didn't know how far she was washed out by the water. Finally, she mastered the balance and could barely stay on the water surface. Occasionally, she looked around and saw trees everywhere, and could not see anything else.
Mary barely grasped the balance and struggled to swim to the river. During this process, the shoes on her right foot were trapped and removed by the water plants in the river. In order to facilitate swimming, she simply threw off the shoes on her left foot. After swimming for a while, she finally arrived at the river. However, the river was tall on both sides of the river and she could not reach the shore at all. She had to compromise and temporarily float down the river.
It is not a blessing to float in the river. If it is time to take cramps in hands and feet, it may turn into funerals. Therefore, Mary did not dare to be careless at all, and moved her limbs from time to time to maintain the flexibility of her arm and leg muscles and the most basic body temperature.
This way, I was soon sent three or four miles away by the river. But the river section was even more terrifying. The river channel narrowed and the river flow rate increased. Mary sometimes drifted on the water, sometimes sinking under the water, and choked several times by the turbulent flow. Thanks to her good swimming skills and super strong endurance, she would have sunk to the bottom of the river long ago.
After finally overcoming this narrow river, the river surface in front finally widened, and a river beach appeared. Mary saw it and was very happy. She hit the water with her feet and swam to the river beach in front of her right.
Soon approaching the shore, Mary walked towards the river bank with a bitter smile, and Cole felt extremely sad. Just as her waist emerged from the water, her bare right foot stepped on a moving pebbles, and the stone was covered with slippery aquatic plants similar to moss. The stone was trampled, and the soles of her feet slipped again, and her body immediately lost balance. She fell back into the water, and was washed downstream by the river.
Mary was shocked and quickly stroked her arms and legs, trying to turn over from the river. Her reaction was extremely fast, and her actions were extremely correct, but she never expected that just when she was about to turn over in the water but before she could turn over, there was a dull sound, and she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her head. She didn't know what to hit. Then her eyes turned black, her throat became sweet, and she was immediately unconscious.
From a distance, the river was still so turbulent, rolling white waves and running downstream. A blurry figure floated in the river, and then the figure disappeared again, and it quickly went far away...
When Mary woke up, her head was soaring and her ears were buzzing. It was so uncomfortable. When she opened her eyes, she saw a snow-white roof. The roof decoration was extremely gorgeous, and the four corners outlined the European-style rose shape. In the middle was a huge crystal bead chain palace lantern, which shone golden light, highlighting the noble style.
I turned my face to the side. There was a window on the wall on the left, but it was blocked by the moon-white curtains and could not see anything, but I could see that it was already dark outside. Then I turned to the right, there was a bedside table with a classic-style desk lamp on it, which was on, and a thermos cup covering the lid. On the right side of the bedside table was a row of wardrobes, which were also moon-white, and looked clean and tidy.
Looking at the soles of my feet, I was covered with a thin yellow quilt with patterns, and there was a white double-open door on the wall facing my feet. It was closed at this time. There was no one in the room except me, without any sound, giving people a lonely and mysterious feeling.
Mary forced herself to sit up halfway, and glanced around again, but no more notices. She was a little confused. Where is this? Why was she here? Also, why did her head hurt so much? She reached out to touch the back of her head, and touched a big bulge. The tentacles were so painful. She quickly retracted her hand and didn't dare to touch it again, but she also remembered the scene before the dizziness must have been hit by the stones at the bottom of the river or wood in the water. She was stunned and drifted down the river. She was lucky enough to die and was rescued here.
She realized that she was very thirsty when she wanted to understand this, so she tried to get the thermos on the bedside table. The cup was still warm, and the water seemed to be still hot. She unscrewed the lid and took a sip, and it was still hot.
Mary greedily drank a whole glass of water and when she reached out to put the cup back to the bedside table, the door creaked and she subconsciously looked up.
The one who walked in was an oriental woman with a beautiful figure, with black shawl wavy curly hair, fair skin, beautiful appearance, a gentle smile on her face, and a light blue home skirt. She looked very good at walking, and she was already at the bed.
The woman glanced at the thermos on the bedside table and asked Marie, "Are you awake?" She spoke Chinese, and very standard Mandarin.
Mary was both surprised and happy. She didn't expect to meet her compatriots in China at this time. She sat up excitedly and asked, "Yes, are you Chinese too?"
The woman nodded with a smile and asked her, "I don't know why. When I saw you, I felt like a Chinese. I did not read it wrong. What are you doing? Why did you faint by the river?"
Mary murmured, "I'm so lucky. After being stunned, I was washed down by the river. I was not drowned. I could finally faint by the river and be discovered by someone. Did you save me?"
The woman nodded with a deep expression and said, "Yes, I went to the Astor River to walk at noon and found that you fainted on the rocky beach. There was no one nearby. I had to carry you to my house. Seeing that your breathing and other things were normal, I didn't ask a doctor to wait for you to wake up. What happened, why did you faint by the river?"
Mary sighed, "It's hard to describe it, where is this?"
The woman said, "Norristown, a small town in Montgomery, this is my home."
Hearing the four words "Montgomery", Mary felt it was a bit familiar, but she could not find the place name represented by the word from her memory. She asked blankly: "Then is this far from Philadelphia?"
The woman shook her head and said, "Not far away, heading southeast, and it will be forty or fifty miles. By the way, I forgot to ask, sorry, what's your name?"
Mari said: "My Chinese name is Zeng Baohua, you can call me Mary. To be honest, I was kidnapped by terrorists. We two, including another companion, were kidnapped and imprisoned by terrorists in Philadelphia. I finally escaped, but my companion is still in the hands of terrorists. I need to call the police immediately. Can you help me? I can't waste any more time, otherwise Miss Gao will be killed by terrorists."
The woman looked at her with an incredible look on her face, and then said for a while: "Oh my God, what you said is true. There are terrorists in such a safe city in Philadelphia? Okay, can I help you, do you need me to call the police or take you to the police station?"
Mary thought for a while and said, "Going to the police station should make me feel more at ease, and I can't explain it clearly on the phone, but it's already night..."
The woman waved her hand and said, "There are police officers on duty in the police station tonight. I will take you there now, and the journey is not far. By the way, don't you need to rest for a while?"
Mary waved her hands repeatedly and said with shame: "I have been wasting too much time because of the dizziness. I can't delay any more. Otherwise, Miss Gao will be in danger. You must call the police immediately and then rescue her... Oh, God, I was dizzy shortly after I fell into the water, and then washed away by the river. Now I don't know where I fell into the water. How can I find the way to that garbage factory?"
The woman looked at her with a strange expression and asked tentatively: "What does it have to do with the garbage factory?"
Mary said distressedly: "The garbage plant is a very important clue. You can find the terrorist's nest... Well, don't consider this for the time being, and call the police first. Let's go quickly." After saying that, she lifted the quilt and went down to the ground, and found that she was wearing a gray cotton nightgown, so she couldn't help but take a look.
The woman said, "Oh, this is my pajamas. I saw that your clothes were all wet, so I took them off and changed into my pajamas. Please don't mind."
Mary shook her head and said, "I don't mind, thank you very much... Hey, where are my shoes... Oh, by the way, I remembered that my shoes were thrown off when they fell into the water."
The woman said, "I can let you wear mine, but now you only have that pajama and no underwear. Are you sure you want to go out in a vacuum?"
Mary sighed, "This is the time when life is at stake. Don't say that I'm going to fight in vain. Even if I call the police naked, I'm willing."
The woman found a pair of slippers for Mary, took her downstairs, got into the car, and drove towards the town police station.
On the way, Mary learned the woman's name. Yang Qingqing was originally from Shanghai. She stayed in Hong Kong after graduating from college. She met her boyfriend three years ago and then came to the United States to develop with him. However, the two have not been married until now and have no children.
In just five or six minutes, the two girls rushed to the Norristown Town Police Station. The police station was located at the entrance of the town, next to a bank of America. It was night, and the bank's self-service center was still brightly lit, but inside and outside the police station was already dim, with only one room lights on.
As for the size of this police station, it is similar to the street police station we usually use. The difference is that it is more like a garden. There is a clean and neat lawn on the left and right of the door. The highway extends to the lawn for about ten meters to the lawn. The gate of the police station is the door.
