Chapter 361: Rescue

Opposite the gate is a main house, with a wing on each side.

There is a narrow corridor connecting the main house and the wing, and at the end of the corridor is a small archway leading to the backyard. This is a two-story courtyard. The courtyard is not big, but it gives people a sense of tranquility and warmth.

Gu Qianyue looked at the familiar plants and trees in front of him, and his eyes were red again. This small courtyard carries countless memories of him. During these years abroad, he dreamed of this small courtyard countless times, and several times when he woke up from his dreams, his eyes were wet.

He originally thought that this time when he came back, the small courtyard must have changed its owner, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to come back here and live here.

He turned his head and looked at Ling Yao, his eyes full of gratitude and emotion, "Ling Yao, thank you!"

Ling Yao shook her head and smiled, "Come in and take a look."

Gu Qianyue nodded, walked to the door, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and saw the furnishings in the house, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "It hasn't changed at all, it's still the same as I remember."

He walked around the whole yard, and the smile on his face never stopped.

Seeing Gu Qianyue so happy, Ling Yao also smiled. She and her master will live a very good life in this life.

After leaving the small courtyard, Ling Yao saw that it was still early and went back to the Ji family.

As soon as Ling Yao walked to the door, Xinghuo ran out from the yard.

Seeing Ling Yao, Xinghuo was so excited that he almost jumped up. He kept circling around Ling Yao, and his tail kept swinging like a propeller.

Seeing this, Ling Yao couldn't help laughing. She reached out and rubbed Xinghuo's furry head, and threw a pill to Xinghuo.

Xinghuo immediately jumped up, bit the pill in one bite, swallowed it, and barked excitedly twice.

Then he circled around Ling Yao, hoping to get some more pills, "Woof! Woof!" Master, I want more, more.

Ling Yao smiled helplessly, took out two more pills and threw them to Xinghuo.

Xinghuo quickly caught them, and couldn't wait to crush the pills, enjoying the wonderful taste.

Seeing Xinghuo's enjoyable expression, Ling Yao laughed again and touched Xinghuo's head, "Go and play by yourself."

Ling Xuemei also heard the voice and came out at this time. When she saw Ling Yao, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

She walked over and held Ling Yao's hand, "Yaoyao, why are you here?" Yaoyao called her yesterday and said that she had returned. She was wondering if Yaoyao would come today, but she didn't expect that she would really come.

"I came to see you. Have you been feeling uncomfortable recently?" Ling Yao looked at Ling Xuemei's belly. Through the perspective eye, she saw the two little babies inside chewing each other's little feet, and couldn't help laughing out loud. These two little guys are really cute. Every time she comes over, they are either fighting or biting each other's hands and feet.

"Yaoyao, what are you laughing at?" Ling Xuemei looked at Ling Yao in surprise.

"No, let's go inside." Ling Yao restrained her smile, put her arm around Ling Xuemei's arm, and walked into the house.

Ling Xuemei shook her head, "I'm almost bored to death staying at home every day, come with me for a walk outside." She now either eats or sleeps every day, and is almost turning into a pig. Every time she wants to go out for a walk, Yan Ting will send several guards to protect her, making others look at her with strange eyes.

"Okay." Ling Yao nodded, took Ling Xuemei's arm and walked outside.

Passing by Xinghuo, Ling Yao called out to him, "Xinghuo, follow me."

"Woof!" Xinghuo hurriedly followed.

The two of them and the dog walked towards the park across the compound.

As dusk approached, the park was very lively, with people's laughter and birds' singing intertwined, forming a beautiful picture.

On a bench in the park, an old couple sat side by side, talking about the trivialities of life and reminiscing about the past, with happy smiles on their wrinkled faces from time to time.

There were also young people walking hand in hand by the lake, enjoying a sweet time.

The children were playing and chasing each other on the grass in the park, with innocent smiles on their faces.

Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei took Xinghuo for a walk along the path by the lake. The lake was sparkling and reflected the sunset, like a beautiful painting.

"Plop!" An object suddenly fell into the lake.

Ling Yao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little boy of six or seven years old who fell into the lake. At this time, he was struggling in the lake, constantly shouting for help, his body floating up and down, and he could lose his life at any time.

Many people who watched the excitement soon gathered on the shore. They just watched, and no one went into the water.

Soon, the frequency of the children in the lake struggling became less and less. If no one went down, they would soon lose their lives.

"Mom! Don't move on the shore, I'll go down to save him." After Ling Yao gave instructions to Ling Xuemei, she turned around and told Xinghuo, "Protect grandma."

"Woof!" Xinghuo replied.

"Yaoyao, you have to be careful." Ling Xuemei warned worriedly. It is still early spring and the weather is still very cold, especially the lake water. People will freeze once they go in.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Ling Yao quickly took off her coat and was about to jump in.

An agile figure jumped in faster than her.

Ling Yao looked at the person who swam towards the child who fell into the water, and soon recognized that the other person was Chu Lie.

Chu Lie swam quickly to the side of the child who fell into the water, he grabbed the child, and then swam to the shore.

Ling Yao looked around and saw that there was no shore to get out of the lake in the park. She frowned slightly, and saw the coat she had just thrown on the ground, and immediately had an idea.

She bent down and picked up the coat on the ground, walked to the lake, waved to Chu Lie in the lake, and shouted: "Chu Lie, this way."

Chu Lie raised his lips slightly and swam towards Ling Yao. He first raised the child in his hand and handed it to Ling Yao, "You take the child first, I can get up by myself, you don't have to worry about me."

"Okay." Ling Yao took the child who fell into the water, put him on the ground, and saw that he was still breathing, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

Not long after, the child suddenly spit out a few large saliva, and then slowly woke up, and then he cried loudly with a "wow".

At this time, the child’s grandmother also received the news and rushed over. Seeing that her grandson was safe and sound, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She thanked Ling Yao repeatedly: "Thank you so much! Thank you for saving my grandson. If anything happened to him, how would I live... wuwuwu..."

The old man held his grandson tightly in his arms, fearing that he would lose him again.

"Old man, in fact, it was not me who saved the child, but him." Ling Yao looked around, her eyes fell on Chu Lie in the crowd, and she raised her hand and pointed at him.

The old man looked in the direction of Ling Yao's finger, and saw Chu Lie, who was soaking wet. He quickly held his grandson and stepped forward to thank him.

"You're welcome! This is what I should do. You should take your grandson home quickly, don't let him catch a cold." Chu Lie saw that the child in the old man's arms was shivering with cold, and reminded the old man.

The old man thanked him again, holding his grandson and walked away quickly.

Ling Yao walked to Chu Lie's side and took a look at his wet clothes. "Your clothes are all wet. Let's go to my house to take a shower and change clothes."

"No, my house is not far away. I'll go first. Goodbye!" Chu Lie showed a hearty smile, waved to Ling Yao, turned around and left.

"Goodbye!" Ling Yao also waved, watching Chu Lie's back as he walked away.
