On this side, Cheng Zhaodi skipped back to the stream with a large basket of pig grass to look for Xu Qianjiao. As soon as she got closer, she saw Xu Qianjiao in the water.
She was startled and yelled to Xu Qianjiao, "Sister Jiaojiao, Sister Jiaojiao~" Xu Qianjiao didn't respond. Cheng Zhaodi was so frightened that she ran away, shouting as she ran, "Help, help, someone fell into the water, help quickly!"
When the people in the fields heard Cheng Zhaodi's cry, they quickly put down their things and ran over to ask, "Zhaodi, what's wrong?"
Cheng Zhaodi looked at everyone with tears in her eyes and said anxiously, "Hurry, hurry, help! Sister Jiaojiao has fallen into the water."
When everyone heard that someone had fallen into the water, they hurriedly followed Cheng Zhaodi to the stream. As soon as they got close to the stream, they saw Xu Qianjiao in the water.
At this time, Xu Qianjiao was already dying. Everyone looked at her with great anxiety. They first stretched out a bamboo to the edge of the stream and said, "Xu Qianjiao, hold on to the bamboo. We will pull you out."
Xu Qianjiao in the water vaguely looked at the bamboo stretched out towards her. She tried her best to grab the bamboo, but the result was in vain. She had been soaking in the water for too long and was already dying. Her hands had no strength left. She was able to regain consciousness only by relying on her strong willpower.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Several young men on the shore were ready to take off their clothes and go into the water to save people, but they were stopped by their parents.
Tian's mother looked at Tian Dazhu who was about to take off his clothes and go into the water, and said angrily: "You are crazy, do you know that once you go into the water, both of your reputations will be ruined? You are going to marry her."
"Marry her, Mom. I am willing to marry her." Tian Dazhu answered her mother anxiously while trying to break free from her mother's hand.
What's wrong with marrying her? She is beautiful and educated. If I bring her home, she will definitely hold her in the palm of my hand and won't have to do any work. She just needs to give birth to a few kids for me.
The more he thought about it, the harder he struggled. Seeing this, Tian's mother hugged Tian Dazhu tightly and said in tears, "Zhuzi, you can't go into the water. If you go into the water today, you will lose half your life. If anything happens to you, what will your father and I do?"
Mother Tian hugged her tighter and tighter. Anyway, she definitely didn't want a daughter-in-law like Xu Qianjiao. What's the point of her being pretty? What's the point of her being educated? She can't do any work. If she really married her, her son would definitely listen to her in everything. Then what status would she have?
Tian Dazhu saw her mother crying more and more miserably, frowning and feeling very conflicted. He still looked at Xu Qianjiao in the water with reluctance, but the strength of his struggle gradually decreased.
Xu Qianjiao was dazed in the water, looking at the many people standing on the shore, but no one went into the water to save her. She felt a chill in her heart, and gradually, she completely lost consciousness.
Suddenly, with a "splash", someone went into the water.
Everyone looked at the agile figure in the water, swimming quickly towards Xu Qianjiao.
Suddenly, someone saw the figure clearly, "It's Cheng Lao Si, Cheng Jiawen."
After Cheng Jiawen jumped into the water, he felt a piercing chill. He tried to remain calm, with only one thought in mind: he had to save Xu Qianjiao. He swam towards her, but when he saw her pale face and weak movements, he suddenly felt a surge of heartache and self-blame.
He swam to Xu Qianjiao's side and gently embraced her waist, feeling her body trembling. He knew she was very scared, so he tried his best to make her feel warm and comforted. He used his body to block most of the cold water for her, and gently stroked her back with his hand, letting her feel his presence.
Cheng Jiawen began to swim towards shore, carrying Xu Qianjiao. He felt his strength gradually fading, but he didn't dare stop. He knew that if he let go, Xu Qianjiao would sink. He gritted his teeth and persevered, using all his strength to bring her closer to shore.
The people on the shore breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the person being rescued. Although they did not want to risk their lives to go into the water to save people, they also did not want Xu Qianjiao to really drown. Now that the person was rescued, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao~" Mother Xu hurried over and saw Xu Qianjiao lying dying in Cheng Jiawen's arms. She rushed over and hugged Xu Qianjiao tightly, "Jiaojiao, wake up, don't scare me."
Cheng Jiawen pulled Xu's mother away and said quickly, "Aunt, she needs emergency treatment now."
After saying that, he laid Xu Qianjiao flat on the ground, unbuttoned her collar, then leaned over to listen to her heartbeat. After finding that there was no heartbeat, he immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.
"Ahem~" After Cheng Jiawen's efforts, Xu Qianjiao finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the anxious father and mother Xu and... him.
Xu Qianjiao woke up for a while, then passed out again. Cheng Jiawen took the clothes he had taken off and put them on Xu Qianjiao. He turned around and picked her up and ran to the village gate, and shouted to Xu's mother: "Auntie, go borrow a bullock cart, let's go to the county hospital."
Mother Xu finally reacted and nodded blankly, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he immediately pulled Xu's father to Uncle Liu's house.
-------------------------------------
After a lot of trouble, Xu Qianjiao was finally sent to the county hospital for emergency treatment. Xu's father, mother and Cheng Jiawen stood at the door of the operating room. Xu's mother leaned in Xu's father's arms with a sad face, and Xu's father was comforting her in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, our daughter will be fine. Don't cry." Father Xu comforted Mother Xu with a choked voice.
Xu's mother wiped her tears and said with certainty, "It will be fine."
