Chapter 673 Mo Jiaxing Drowns

Just as the three thought Mo Jiaxing had drowned and were plunged into grief and despair, a little boy ran up to the riverbank.

He must have run too fast, because he was so out of breath that he was holding his thigh with his hand, frowning. After a while, he looked up and saw the teacher, and said to him, "Teacher, are you looking for the child who fell into the river? He's at my house!"

Everyone in the vicinity knew the Master, so he was the first one they recognized.

When the three heard the little boy say that, they were all shaken, and a light of hope ignited in their eyes.

Su Nanxi immediately went ashore and rushed to the child, repeatedly confirming his identity.

The little boy was very patient. "Yes! That's right! My dad saved him. We don't know why he fell into the river! My mom heard you were looking for someone by the river and asked me to come and tell you!"

Now is not the time to ask too many questions. After confirming that it is Mo Jiaxing, let's go and see what's going on. We can talk about it later.

The three followed the little boy to his home.

His family was very poor, living in a somewhat dilapidated thatched hut. He had several brothers and sisters, and his parents seemed to be genuinely kind-hearted farmers.

Seeing the three arrive, knowing they were worried, he quickly led them inside to see Mo Jiaxing.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was indeed Mo Jiaxing lying on the bed. Thank goodness, they found him. Thank goodness, he's alright!

Thankfully, their fears didn't come true.

"The doctor came and examined the child. He recognized him as a member of the Mo family and didn't take any money from us, saying someone would pay us later. We didn't have much money to give, so we didn't. The doctor said he would come to see the child again after he woke up. We weren't much of a help. My husband brought the child up, did some first aid using the old methods, and then carried him home on his shoulder!"

The woman speaking must be the little boy's mother; she looked guilty.

She felt that the doctor was amazing and that the doctor saved the child. They were all incompetent, and if the doctor hadn't come, they probably wouldn't have been able to save the child!

Su Nanxi didn't think so. The golden time for saving a person is very short. It's impossible to wait until a doctor arrives. So much time has passed in between. If something had happened, it would have been too late by now.

Mo Jiaxing was rescued by others, so we can't erase their contribution!

If it weren't for their selfless act, Mo Jiaxing would probably be in grave danger!

I still want to express my sincere gratitude to this family!

The family's surname was Liao. The man was named Liao Dayong, and the woman was surnamed Lu. They had five children together.

The couple seemed like honest and simple people, and they didn't talk much. From their conversation, I learned a few things.

The couple chatted as they went to the river to fetch water. As soon as they arrived, they felt as if a shadow was moving by in the distance. They didn't pay much attention to it, since people often came to the river and it was normal to see shadows there. They didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

A short while later, they heard a child shouting "Help!" The two were startled and their first reaction was to rush over to save the child!

When I ran over, there was no one around, only a child in the river with his hands raised, bobbing up and down, shouting for help!

They didn't think about anything else; saving lives was the priority!

Liao Dayong threw the bucket aside and jumped into the water. Luckily, he could swim a little and the water wasn't very deep for him. He quickly swam over, approached Mo Jiaxing from behind, seized the opportunity, grabbed his head with his hand, and then swam vigorously towards the shore.

Upon reaching the shore, they found Mo Jiaxing unconscious. Both men were terrified. Liao Dayong, however, remained relatively calm and immediately began to help Mo Jiaxing. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mo Jiaxing vomit the water from his stomach and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

But the two felt it wasn't safe and worried about another accident, so they stopped fetching water and carried Mo Jiaxing home, hoping to get a doctor to come and help him.

After saving someone, I was very worried and scared, and my hands and feet were trembling with panic.

Lu rushed to fetch a doctor. After Liao Dayong carried the man back, he saw that Mo Jiaxing was soaked to the bone. Worried that he might catch a cold, he went to find a set of his son's clothes and changed Mo Jiaxing into them.

When the doctor arrived and saw Mo Jiaxing, he thought he was seeing things, that he had run too fast and was hallucinating. But when he opened his eyes and looked several times, it was still Mo Jiaxing!

Only after asking Liao Dayong did I learn what had happened.

Doctor He recognized Mo Jiaxing, and he guessed that something might have happened. Knowing that the Liao family was very poor, he did not charge them. After prescribing the medicine, he rushed off.

He must have run back to inform the Mo family.

Mrs. Lu was still very worried. When she heard passersby say that someone had jumped into the river, seemingly looking for someone, she was so anxious that she paced around in circles. Seeing her son standing nearby, she immediately asked him to go and inform him.

The child has been rescued, and there's no way the child will be found in the river. Ms. Lu is very considerate of others and is worried about people who jump into the river. She really wants to search the entire river!

If something else goes wrong, that would be even more terrible!

Also, she was worried that if the child's family couldn't find him, they might do something bad in their grief and despair!

It must be very painful; just thinking about it makes her heart ache!

She saw that the child was so good, and that his family must be well-off as well. She didn't want those people to suffer and be sad!

Losing a child is absolutely devastating!

This is not something everyone can afford!

Lu's son was also a kind-hearted person. Seeing his mother like this, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment. His two short legs almost couldn't turn around, and, well, he almost didn't touch the ground!

The rocket sped to the riverbank and told the three of them.

In the end, they brought the three of them back, and that's how it happened.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the doctor arrived with the rest of the Mo family.

They were slightly relieved when they saw Mo Jiaxing, but they were still worried when they saw that he was still unconscious.

The doctor examined her again and said, "She was rescued in time and is fine. She should wake up soon. However, if you are worried, you can go to town to see a doctor."

Hearing that there was no serious injury, everyone finally felt a little relieved.

Grandma Mo burst into tears; she was terribly frightened and couldn't find anyone no matter how hard she looked!

I'm really worried I'll never find it again!

I've even started getting a few gray hairs!

After calming down, Grandma Mo bowed repeatedly and expressed her gratitude, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Liao at a loss for what to do and they quickly moved away.

"Grandpa, you really don't need to thank me! Anyone else would have done the same! You're making us live shorter lives, please get up!"

The rest of the Mo family were still sincerely grateful to the kind couple.

"Cough cough!"

Mo Jiaxing coughed twice, like a thunderclap, startling everyone instantly, and the next second they all rushed over.

"Doctor! Come quick! Everyone, don't push over here!"

"Yes! Spread out a bit, you're blocking the airflow!"

The doctor examined her again and said the same thing.

Grandma Mo asked softly, "Jiaxing, do you feel unwell anywhere? If you do, please tell me!"
