Chapter 677: Dead Body in the Swamp
"Mee! Mee!" Just as Jing Chunxi leaned over, she heard a clear, clear bleating of a sheep. She looked up and saw a lamb, only an arm's length away, stuck in the mud.
Half of its body was already sunk in the muddy water, which had already covered its legs and was still rising. The lamb's eyes were filled with fear, and it was still struggling, so it was still sinking.
There was a sense of helplessness in its eyes, as if it was making a final cry for help from God.
"This is a swamp." Jing Chunxi was so frightened that she stopped drinking the water and subconsciously took two steps back. Her heartbeat quickened and cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Looking back at the place where he had been standing just now, fortunately, there were only two shallow footprints left there, and there was no sign of sinking.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but look at the lamb. The lamb saw her, as if it had found a lifeline, and cried out repeatedly, struggling desperately towards Jing Chunxi to attract her attention.
It had no idea that the more it struggled, the closer it was to danger. The mud and water had already covered its belly and was still rising.
"Baa!" The lamb called out desperately once again, successfully attracting Jing Chunxi's full attention. Jing Chunxi saw the tears in the lamb's eyes, which showed a desire for life and a determination to survive.
Her heart was deeply touched. She had never imagined that a lamb's eyes could have such powerful power. She continued to return to the two footprints she had made, but she didn't dare to take another step forward. She simply squatted down and cautiously reached out her hand.
The lamb seemed to see hope, and suddenly stopped crying and struggling. Its eyes were extremely clear, as if saying, "Please save me."
Its front paws actually stretched out towards Jing Chunxi, as if seeking a last resort. Almost, just a little bit, his fingers were about to touch the lamb, but it was just a tiny bit off, less than a finger's length away.
While Jing Chunxi was still working hard, the lamb suddenly became a little impatient. Perhaps it was because it couldn't wait any longer.
Perhaps out of fear, it suddenly thrust forward, trying to reach Jing Chunxi's lifeline. However, the sudden force caused its body to sink rapidly, and soon, Jing Chunxi watched helplessly as the muddy water almost covered its head. The lamb's head struggled a few times in the muddy water, then sank, leaving only ripples.
Only the front leg that had just been stretched out was still struggling on the water.
In an instant, Jing Chunxi, without a second thought, took a half-step forward without hesitation, grabbed the lamb's front leg, lifted it up, and pulled it back, exerting all her strength in her arms.
She gripped the lamb's front legs tightly, and it, sensing the force, remained motionless, cooperating with her. Jing Chunxi pulled hard, using inertia to quickly retreat a few steps. Finally, she pulled the lamb out of the mud and gently placed it on the grass.
"Mee!" The lamb cried out in gratitude, its voice trembling slightly. It knelt on its front legs and leaned towards Jing Chunxi, as if to say, "Thank you for saving me."
Jing Chunxi sat down on the ground, exhausted, staring at the lamb in a daze. Her heart was still pounding; the scene just now was truly thrilling. She looked at the lamb, its body covered in mud and water, but its eyes were filled with incomparable clarity, and it even nodded at her.
The lamb struggled for so long and was obviously tired. It knelt for a while, then stood up and shook off the mud and water on its body. The mud and water splashed everywhere, as if celebrating its rebirth.
Then, it took a few steps forward, trying to get closer to Jing Chunxi. Jing Chunxi thought it was going to get him covered in mud, so he subconsciously stepped back.
The lamb stopped one step in front of her and looked at Jing Chunxi with rare tenderness in its eyes.
"Mee!" The lamb cried out, its voice carrying a hint of dependence and a desire for closeness. That feeling reminded Jing Chunxi of the loneliness and helplessness he felt in his past life, after losing his mother and brother.
At that time, if there was a life-saving straw hanging in front of her, she would definitely climb up without hesitation.
Jing Chunxi shook his head to clear his mind. Then, when he looked at the lamb again, he was really disgusted by its dirtiness and didn't want it to get too close.
She saw a few antelopes drinking water not far away, so she waved to the lamb and said, "Your mother is there! Go."
"Mee! Mee!" The lamb showed no intention of leaving. It barked twice at Jing Chunxi, as if to say, "I'm not going. I want to stay with you."
Jing Chunxi smiled helplessly. She knew that many animals had spirituality. When she saw the tears in the lamb's eyes just now, she knew that perhaps it had some human nature.
Jing Chunxi pointed in the direction of the antelope, signaling it to go. But the lamb cried out again, with a hint of urgency in its voice.
It took a step towards the swamp, then looked back at Jing Chunxi and called out "Mee!" twice before Jing Chunxi stood up.
If the lamb goes any further, it will surely fall into the swamp again, and she can't just ignore it.
The lamb looked at her with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
The lamb looked at the swamp and made another "baa" sound. It looked at Jing Chunxi, and then looked at the largest green disc in the swamp.
Jing Chunxi was also curious this time. He had just been saving the lamb and had not had time to look at the surrounding scenery.
Looking around now, this swamp is quite large, with a lot of green grass around it, but in the middle and deepest part, there is a lake as spacious as several large houses.
The lake shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, making it look particularly beautiful. Around the lake, clusters of green grass, some large and some small, looked like green islands floating on the water.
It was truly beautiful! This was the first time in Jing Chunxi's life that she had ever seen such vast deserts and expansive grasslands. And then there were these dangerous yet beautiful swamps. She couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature, yet also felt a lingering fear from the thrill of her previous adventure.
"Mee!" The lamb called out again eagerly, with a hint of anxiety and expectation in its voice, as if urging Jing Chunxi to catch up quickly. This call brought Jing Chunxi back to the beautiful scenery.
She came back to her senses from the refreshing scenery and refocused her gaze on the lamb. The lamb's eyes were clear and bright, and its gaze was firmly pointed in one direction.
This time, Jing Chunxi followed the direction of the lamb's gaze and his eyes fell on a green disc that was three or four feet long and wide.
The grassy area was quite large, so it stood out in the swamp. However, the sight on the grassy area made Jing Chunxi's heart sink. The grassy area was occupied by a black man. He was soaking wet, his clothes clinging to his body, his hair soaked through, and he lay there motionless.
He was wearing tattered black clothes, and his exposed skin was dark. There was blood on the grass that kept flowing into the water beside him. The originally clear lake water turned blood red, which was completely different from the surrounding environment.
Jing Chunxi's first reaction was fear. Her intuition told her that the man was dead. In fact, the wetness on his body was all from blood, which had already drained away.
