Becoming an Old Country Girl: Heading to Flee the Famine with a Baby

Can anyone relate? How did I wake up and find myself time-traveled? Couldn't they have made me a princess? Who is so unlucky to be reborn as a country girl with a child out of wedlock?

Chapter 140 Rescue

When Feng He arrived at the bow of the ship, he was shocked by what he saw.

Not far from their ships, a large ship was half-submerged in the sea.

There were many clothes floating on the surrounding sea, and several corpses could be vaguely seen.

"Quick! Direct the ships to go and check!"

Feng He immediately issued an order, stating that as a court official, it was his duty to help the people!

The crew members who had always been by his side were used to it.

Accidents happen at sea from time to time, and they have saved countless lives in the past.

The two Zhen brothers were filled with fear at the sight before them.

Feng He calmly instructed his subordinates to retrieve all the salvage tools.

Zhen Fugui silently stepped forward to help, and seeing that Zhen Fugui was still in a daze, he pulled him along.

Although Feng He kept his eyes on the road ahead, he secretly nodded in approval at how perceptive the two were.

They're quite useful! There's an opportunity to recruit them into our ranks.

Zhenwan arrived just in time; the crew had already prepared the rescue equipment.

They were just waiting to get closer to the ship on the other side.

When Zhen Fugui saw Zhen Wanwan standing there, his eyes widened in shock!

"Little sister! What are you doing here! Go back right now!"

Feng He snapped out of his daze and saw that Zhen Wanwan had also arrived.

He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Madam Zhen!"

Now, Zhen Wanwan has successfully corrected the way Feng He is addressed.

Zhen Wanwan returned the greeting and said, "Lord Feng! I heard something happened here, so I came to check!"

She had already seen the situation on the other side, including those bloated corpses!

These people have probably been dead for two or three days!

Otherwise, the body would never have surfaced. Those present probably already knew this, but they still clung to a sliver of hope.

What if someone is still alive?

For Feng He, the common people were important, and Zhen Wanwan was of noble status; he wanted to protect both of them.

Clearly, Zhen Wanwan did not give him a chance to politely refuse.

"I know some medical skills. With me here, people have a better chance of survival."

The two brothers nodded repeatedly. Their little sister could even sew up her mother's head, so saving a few drowning people shouldn't be a problem!

Feng He hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Madam Zhen!"

They were too far away to see the wrecked ship clearly.

Even now, so close at hand, those present were still awestruck.

The damage to the ship was more severe than they had imagined!

The ship's hull had been split in two by lightning, and the sea surface around the ship was covered with wood fragments from the hull.

Besides these, there were also people who were almost completely black and swollen; judging from their appearance, they were probably already dead!

This was the first time Zhen Wanwan had ever seen someone drown in real life, so it would be unrealistic to say she had no emotional reaction.

"Alas! It's all fate! They were just unlucky to be struck by lightning... It's all destiny!"

Feng He looked sadly at the lifeless body on the water's surface, his heart filled with awe for nature.

"Lord Feng, even Heaven has its flaws. Why don't we circle the ship once and see if anyone has survived?"

The ship looks very complicated. Zhen Wanwan guessed that it must belong to a wealthy family. If she could save someone, she could also make a good connection!

If it can't be saved, see if there's anything good you can find at a bargain price!

With Zhen Wanwan here, the two Zhen brothers stopped running around and focused on staying by her side to protect her.

I was terrified that the surging sea would sweep her away...

"Sir! There's a live one over here!"

Everyone was drawn to the good news and rushed to the crew member's side.

Through the crowd, Zhen Wanwan saw a man in his thirties, clinging to a piece of wood, floating around the boat.

His eyes were closed, but one could still vaguely sense the presence of a living person.

Feng He exclaimed joyfully, "Quickly, get them out of here!"

"yes!"

Everyone held their breath, cautiously observing every move ahead.

Although the rain had subsided considerably by now, it was still falling steadily.

This will definitely affect the speed and safety of the crew's rescue efforts.

Zhen Wanwan took out several life jackets and handed them to the crew members who were about to be rescued.

"Wearing this will allow you to float on the water!"

Only after receiving Feng He's approval did the crew put on the orange-red "clothes".

The crew jumped down the escape stairs onto a spare small boat and carefully steered it toward the middle-aged man.

He struggled across several waves before finally stumbling to the middle-aged man's side.

"My lord! He still has a faint breath!"

Feng He's anxiety subsided temporarily: "I understand, bring the person back now!"

The crew carefully and slowly pulled the man ashore. Seeing that he was barely breathing and had no consciousness, they wanted to hurry back to the ship.

He glanced at the life jacket that Zhen Wanwan had given him and, without thinking, put it on the middle-aged man.

The people on the boat kept a close eye on their movements, and of course, they didn't miss the very conspicuous life jackets.

Although no one understood what this thing was for, saving lives was the priority, so no one discussed it further.

The crew originally intended to pull themselves and the boat back the way they came by holding onto the rope.

Unfortunately, the rain and waves disrupted every step of his plan!

It's only a short distance of a dozen meters, but I can't go back!

Just as he pulled harder on the rope, a huge wave capsized their small boat.

"careful!"

Almost everyone gasped in shock at them!

The same applies to crew members!

But then he found himself floating safely on the water; it was the clothes that saved him!

The middle-aged man, who was also wearing a life jacket, did not sink to the bottom of the sea.

But the two of them were separated by the waves.

With life jackets, the crew member was more confident in successfully rescuing the man. He skillfully moved his arms and legs and swam toward the unconscious man.

Before long, he returned with his men!

He laboriously pushed the person onto the small boat first, while he himself held onto the boat with one hand and pulled on the rope with the other in the water.

The crew members who were there to meet them also began pulling the rope back.

Seeing that the person had been safely rescued, everyone excitedly gathered around.

"Everyone, stop standing there! Search carefully and see if anyone is still alive!"

Feng He waved his hand impatiently and urged.

There was no doctor on the ship, so the task of saving lives fell to Zhen Wanwan.

Without saying a word, Zhen Wanwan first performed CPR on the person, repeating the action over and over again.

Seeing that the man was still unconscious, they used their hands to remove the filth from his mouth.

"Second Brother! Come here right now!"

"What's wrong with my little sister!"

While Zhen Wanwan was performing CPR, she was also instructing Zhen Fuyou to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

At first, Zhen Fuyou was frightened by her words, but saving lives was urgent, so he had no choice but to obediently do as she said.

"He's alive!"
