The river water was quite clear, otherwise the people in the mountain village wouldn't have been washing clothes in the river all the time. Tian Cai caught a glimpse of another black spot entering his sight, but it was very fast. Tian Cai pounced on it and caught it at the moment it was about to disappear from the ice cave. The inertia of rushing forward made him fall on the ice, with half of his body immersed in the water.

Yan Xudong wanted to go forward to help, but as soon as his feet stepped on the ice, he heard a slight "crack" sound.

The sound of rushing water drowned out the subtle noise, and no one nearby noticed. Yan Xudong was about to take a second step when he was grabbed by the collar and pulled back from the ice. He turned around angrily and saw a tall man. He shouted angrily, "What are you doing!"

"The ice is cracked."

When the others heard that the ice was cracking, they hurriedly looked down. Sure enough, a very obvious crack appeared where Yan Zhiqing had just stepped. If he had continued walking, not only would he fall into the river, but Tian Cai and the other child would also be implicated.

Only then did Yan Xudong feel a chill on his back.

Tian Cai lay on the ice, holding the child's clothes tightly in one hand and supporting the edge of the ice hole with the other hand. Only in this way could he resist some of the pressure of the water flow and not let go.

The ice is too thin, and if other people come up, it will increase the burden and they might all fall into the water.

Li Dasheng and his wife were also called by Gousheng. They looked over and didn't see their son on the ice. Their hearts skipped a beat. They saw many people on the river bank downstream and heard crying sounds coming from them. Li Dasheng felt a little weak in the legs.

His face was pale and he wanted to stretch his legs but couldn't. It was his wife who came over and supported him, and the two of them stumbled towards the river.

When Li Dasheng arrived, he saw a group of people from the Hu family walking back with a child wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket. He heard them say that there was still a child who had not been rescued from the water for a long time.

His legs grew weaker.

Tian Cai didn't dare to use too much force at once, fearing that the ice surface could not bear the weight of the two of them. There were many sharp stones below the water outlet, which could easily cause scratches under the impact of the water flow. So he lay on them and slowly exerted force, pulling the child in black clothes out little by little.

Qin Ling looked at Tian Cai who was trying hard to save people. His eyes turned red and his vision gradually blurred.

If someone had reached out to help Big Brother when he fell like she did, would Big Brother not have died?

That was his only relative in the world, and even though he was mentally retarded, he was still thinking about protecting his elder brother.

He firmly believed that his elder brother would not go near the river by himself, and he must find out who killed him!

Tian Cai slowly pulled the child out of the ice cave. The child remained lying on the ice in the same position as when he was pulled out, motionless.

Li Dasheng on the shore shouted "Ah!" and was about to rush over here, but Zhang Defa reacted and hugged him.

"Let me through! That's my son!! My only son!!" Li Dasheng looked at his motionless son and tears instantly came down. Although he has always been a bastard, this son is definitely the apple of his eye.

"Dadshengzi! Dashengzi!!" Zhang Defa hugged his waist tightly and dragged him back with all his strength. "You can't go, Dashengzi! The ice is too thin. If you go up there, your son will never be saved!"

Li Dasheng's wife was also sobbing and muttering "Dabao, Dabao."

After Zhang Defa finished speaking, he clearly felt that Li Dasheng's struggle had weakened, so he slowly let go. As long as he was still rational, it would be fine. He was afraid that he would lose his rationality and rush forward to hurt others and himself.

Seeing how close Tian Cai was to the shore, Yan Xudong ran to the nearby woods, found a long wooden stick, and held it out to her: "Hold on to the stick, and we can pull you both back."

Tian Cai grabbed the wooden stick with one hand and pulled the child to his side with the other hand. With the help of him and Qin Ling, the two of them quickly reached the shore.

People on the shore rushed over. Li Dasheng and his wife were the first to embrace their son. Seeing that the child's hands and feet were limp, he immediately started crying.

"My son! My great treasure!" When the man started crying, it was truly earth-shaking.

Tian Cai was shivering from the cold. Half of her body was soaked by the icy river water when she rushed over just now. However, she didn't care about herself. She took a breath and hurried over to check on the child.

When they arrived, the child had already fallen into the water, so he must have been submerged for quite a long time, and it was not known whether he could be rescued.

Tian Cai tried, but there was no breathing or pulse.

Li Dasheng had heard that one could tell whether a person was alive or not by feeling the side of the neck. He placed one hand on Dabao's neck with a slight tremor, and the other hand on his own neck, feeling for a while, but there was no movement at all.

Li Dasheng rolled his eyes and pouted.

"Give me the child first." Tian Cai pulled the child from Li Dasheng's wife and put him on the ground. He knelt beside the child, lifted his forehead with one hand and pressed his jaw with the other hand to clean all the mud and sand in his mouth and nose.

Then he pinched his nose with two fingers, bent down and blew air into his mouth. After blowing five times in a row, Tian Cai folded his hands and began to perform chest compressions on him.

More and more villagers came here after hearing the news. Several educated youth also came here when they heard that a child had drowned.

When Qiu Xiaohuan arrived, she happened to see Tian Cai bending down and blowing air into the little boy's mouth. She knew that this was artificial respiration, but she still pouted in disgust. Isn't it disgusting? He would save any dirty and smelly little boy.

Luo Xiuyan also came over and saw Tian Cai still wearing wet clothes. She hurried home to get a quilt.

No one in the village had ever seen this method of saving people, but Tian Cai had always been very reliable, so no one stood up and said anything, only some people whispered.

"Look at the woman in Dashengzi's family. She is different from the biological child. She only knows how to wipe a few tears and is hypocritical." Liu Guihua had arrived a long time ago. As the number one gossipmonger in Kaoshan Village, she had to be at the forefront of events and have first-hand gossip information.

"It's good enough that she can wipe away her tears. This bastard is just like his bastard father, beating and scolding her every day. How deep can her feelings be?" Liu Jinfa's wife picked her nose. Her house was right next to Li Dasheng's, and she could hear the quarrels from their family every day.

"She deserved the beatings and scoldings she received."

Tian Cai ignored what the people around her said. She counted silently in her mind: press thirty times and blow five times.

Time seemed to stop, and the sounds around her faded away. She just mechanically repeated the steps to save people, one by one.

When the chest compression was performed for the fifth time, the child choked and coughed and woke up.

Before he opened his eyes, he burst into tears.

Perhaps it was the father-son bond that made Li Dasheng wake up after hearing the voice. He rushed over and hugged his son tightly, "Dabao! Dabao! You poor child! You scared me to death!!"

Tian Cai was watching this scene and was moved by the deep love between the father and son. But when he saw Li Dasheng's snot bubble burst because he was crying too hard, he couldn't help but chuckle. The onlookers also saw this scene and laughed.

No one has any ill intentions, and it is certainly something to be happy about to be reborn after a disaster.
