Chapter 75: Calabash Baby Saves Grandpa
Georgi came to the Pu delegation to find Nikolai and George, and asked Nikolai and George to accompany him to go skating. The reason was that if he didn't skate, the ice in the river would melt.
"No, the river has begun to thaw. It is too dangerous to go skating on the river now. You can't go there." George refused decisively. Today, there will be a ten-kilometer cross-country run, and George and Nicholas will be the referees.
"Nikki, please take me there. Since you left, I have been the only one left in Gatchina Palace. I haven't skated for a long time -" Georgi looked miserable and pitiful. He looks like a homeless puppy.
“George——” Nicholas looked at George with a request.
"Uncle George, seeing as I have helped you make so much money, I will definitely continue to work hard to help you make money~~" Georgi helped George make a lot of money during this time, a lot.
Okay then.
George agreed not because of money, but because of his deep relationship with Georgi.
There are indeed many rivers in Venice in the north, and there is one next to the general headquarters.
When Nikolai and Georgi changed their shoes, George asked someone to ride a horse and run around the ice to see how solid the ice was.
It's okay. Since I can ride a horse, skating should be no problem.
"If there is danger, stop immediately -" George was cautious and walked on the ice again.
"George, you love to talk as much as old ladies--" The little boy returned to his old ways. Sure enough, his cuteness and cuteness were all just an act.
Before George had time to get angry, Georgi skated far away. His skating skills were indeed good.
"George, aren't you coming?" Nicholas was also in high spirits. His diligence these days made George forget that Nicholas was also a very playful person.
"Go ahead, don't skate too far - don't do too strenuous movements -" George arranged for the guards to get on the ice and provide rescue at any time if an accident occurs.
Before George could finish his words, Georgi jumped up from the ice and spun twice in the air before landing.
The sharp ice blade hit the ice hard, and ice shards flew away.
The corners of George's eyes were beating wildly, and the feeling of uneasiness was getting stronger and stronger.
“Georgi, wait for me——” Georgi slipped further and further away, and Nicholas struggled to catch up with Georgi.
"Nicky, don't run too far-" George chased after Nicholas.
“Hahaha, you can’t catch up with me!” Georgi’s laughter hadn’t disappeared yet, and the ice under his feet suddenly cracked.
"Georgi!" Nikolai's voice was heartbreaking.
"Nicky, don't go there!" George threw off his shoes and ran wildly.
The guards wore military boots and ran on the ice. They slipped and fell after taking only a few steps.
"Nikki, save me—" Georgi crawled on the ice and shivered.
Nicholas was too fast and did not stop his feet.
The ice surface could not bear the weight of the two people and finally cracked. Nikolai and Georgi fell into the ice cave together.
"George——" , don’t let go——”
The clothes Nikolay and Georgi wore were thick. When wet, the weight of the clothes increased and affected their movements.
Nicholas was still calm and clung to the ice waiting for George to rescue him.
Georgi was a little panicked. The ice was wet and slippery, so Georgi grabbed Nikolai's clothes.
When a person is drowning, no matter what he grabs, he will hold on to it like a life-saving straw and refuse to let go.
Rescuing a drowning person cannot be done from the front, because a drowning person will grab anything he can grab and step on it, and the end result will be that both people sink to the bottom of the water together.
Neither Georgi nor Nikolai were very good at swimming. Nikolai could barely save himself, while Georgi could only yell in panic.
George finally crawled next to Nicholas and reached out to pull Nicholas.
Nicola grabbed George's hand.
George tried hard but didn’t pull.
Nicola still has Georgi hanging on him. "Georgi, put your hands down!" George yelled.
“I don’t-save me-” Georgi has lost his mind.
“Save Georgi first——” Nikolai was really kind to Georgi.
George extended his hand to Georgi.
Before George stretched out his hand, the ice could not bear the pressure and cracked again, and George fell into the ice cave.
It's already May, and the river is still freezing cold.
George kicked a piece of broken ice away, walked around behind Georgi, grabbed Georgi's neck and dragged him underwater.
Georgi finally let go of Nikolai’s hand, grabbed George’s arm and struggled desperately.
George took a breath and dived down, but his feet did not reach the bottom of the river.
Nicholas's physical strength was rapidly draining away, and he was slowly sinking.
George strangled Georgi with one hand and grabbed Nicholas with the other, pressing his neck against the ice.
The river water under the ice is flowing, and Nicholas will be dead if he is washed away by the water.
Finally, a guard imitated George and crawled over.
"Don't come over here, use a rope or a belt-" George was worried that the ice would break again.
If this thing breaks down again, it will become a gourd baby to save grandpa.
"Nikki, you go up first -" George pushed Nikolai hard onto the ice.
Nicholas was trembling all over and was speechless.
Plop!
The clever guard jumped into the ice cave from the other side, and the four of them worked together to push Nicholas onto the ice.
Several guards dragged and carried Nicholas away.
George's muscles also began to stiffen, but he still pushed Georgi onto the ice first, and then grabbed the rope thrown by the guard.
Nicholas changed into the guard's dry clothes and sat on the river bank shivering.
Georgi’s lips were blue and his breathing was weak.
The guards rushed to the carriage, put the three Georges into the carriage, and rushed straight to Gatchina Palace.
“Georgi, Georgi——” Nikolai called repeatedly with a cry.
George touched Georgi's neck. His pulse was weak.
George knew some knowledge about first aid, but Georgi was not breathing and heartbeating, so George's knowledge was of no use.
Georgi fell into the ice cave, so those Georgies must have done something right by moving their bodies.
In front of the Gatchina Palace, Maria and the court doctor are waiting.
Before the carriage stopped, Maria rushed towards him. Seeing George's miserable condition, Maria looked at George as if she wanted to eat George alive.
"Mom, don't blame George. It was George who saved Georgi and me just now. If it weren't for George, I would never see you again -" Nicholas finally cried.
When the guards and the palace doctor lifted Georgi out of the carriage, Georgi had regained consciousness.
Asan, who was presiding over the imperial meeting, arrived late.
"Nikki, my child, I almost lost you, thank God, thank God for giving you back to me." Ya San hugged Nicholas and kissed him crazily.
George sat at the door of the carriage, neither sad nor happy.
"Thank you George, you saved my family and my life." Ya San finally remembered that there was another person here.
