Free Web NovelChapter 1216: Chapter 1216: Rescue in the Water
He had been holding his breath for too long; if he didn’t resurface soon, he might suffocate due to a lack of oxygen. With no other choice, Mu Qiancheng had to ascend to the surface for air before diving back down to prepare to bring the child up.
Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Xue was already close to him. Through the little fox, Jiang Xue had learned that the child’s condition wasn’t good, so she sped up.
As Mu Qiancheng resumed his dive after catching his breath, Jiang Xue also reached the scene underwater. Seeing his young wife, Mu Qiancheng was startled at first, but then he became delighted. As long as Jiang Xue was here, the child would be saved.
While Mu Qiancheng was thinking this, he entered Jiang Xue’s Water-Repelling Pearl’s protection circle and said to her, "Xue’er, the child is in critical condition. We need to save him quickly."
Jiang Xue nodded and swiftly approached the child trapped under a rock, pulling him into the protection circle.
Once inside, Jiang Xue immediately began emergency treatment, pulling the child back from the brink of death. After she saved the child, she brought him and Mu Qiancheng to the surface.
By then, Gong Bei had also swum to Mu Qiancheng’s side. Seeing him bring the child to the surface, Gong Bei felt joy and shouted to the people on the inflatable boat who hadn’t left the surface, "Quick, come and help!"
The people on the inflatable boat heard Gong Bei’s shout and saw Mu Qiancheng bringing the child up, and they immediately became excited, paddling towards them vigorously.
Soon, Mu Qiancheng and the child were rescued onto the inflatable boat. Gong Bei was overjoyed to see the two saved, but he became anxious again as Jiang Xue was still missing.
So much time had passed, yet Jiang Xue had not shown herself; she was surely in danger now. Otherwise, she should have already surfaced for air by now.
Thinking this, Gong Bei looked at Mu Qiancheng, hesitant to speak. He feared that if he told Mu Qiancheng, he would disregard everything else and dive back down.
Yet, if he didn’t inform him, he felt uneasy. As he hesitated, the sound of water splashing reached his ears. Gong Bei turned to look and saw Jiang Xue appear like a water elf.
At that moment, Jiang Xue emerged suddenly, surprising not only Gong Bei but everyone on the inflatable boat too.
Until Mu Qiancheng urged them to help Jiang Xue aboard, everyone was a bit dazed. They then helped her up and rowed towards the shore.
Everyone worked together, speeding up significantly. In no time, the inflatable boat reached the shore, and they carried the child onto land.
Once ashore, someone helped expel the water from the child’s stomach and performed CPR.
"Quick, quick, get to the hospital!" Upon seeing the child awaken, someone shouted, and a vehicle promptly drove over, carrying the child to the hospital.
As for Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng, with their clothes soaked, and no change available, they planned to start a temporary fire, but the rain had left everything wet, leaving them with no solution.
With no other choice, Jiang Xue had to use Spiritual Power to dry her inner clothes a bit; otherwise, wearing them would be too uncomfortable. If not for the presence of many people, she would have directly dried her clothes or changed into a different set.
Seeing several people still wearing wet clothes, the villagers felt uneasy and suggested they change into the villagers’ clothing for now.
