There were some children playing in the river today. The river where Song Yan was was quite deep, and it was dangerous for the children to play there. Song Yan chased them away several times, but the children refused to leave.
Because there were children around, Song Yan was quite careful when catching fish in the space.
"Help! My sister is gone!" a child of about ten years old shouted as he ran into the river.
"Don't go in!" Song Yan shouted, but the child remained unmoved. The little boy plunged in and was killed.
There might be undercurrents in the river here.
Song Yan was an excellent swimmer. She dove in and simultaneously used her mind to enter a spatial dimension. Inside, Song Yan could feel the currents of the water. She looked outside, searching for the girl.
Oh no! The little girl was tangled in the seaweed. There were also quite a few large fish around her. With a thought, Song Yan took both the child and the fish into her spatial dimension. Fortunately, it was brief, and the child was unharmed, just a little dazed. Song Yan looked up and could see the water's surface. She quickly used her mind to send herself and the little girl to the surface. This was another advantage of the spatial dimension. Anything visible to the eye could be sent there using her mind, including herself.
Song Yan dragged the girl with one hand and swam ashore with the other, then turned around to look for the boy.
Some of the children on the bank went to look for someone, while others kept their eyes fixed on the river.
Song Yan searched for a long time inside her spatial dimension, but couldn't find the boy. She swam a short distance out of the dimension, then re-entered, looking around. Still nothing. Song Yan swam a little further out. Suddenly, a powerful current swept her away. She instantly retreated into her spatial dimension to escape. Without it, she wouldn't have been able to swim out. Looking around, she saw the boy, caught in the current. She pulled him into her spatial dimension and, without hesitation, used her mind to move them to the edge of the visible current. She then re-entered the dimension and used her mind to bring them to the visible surface… The boy had stopped breathing and his heart had stopped beating. Song Yan quickly cleaned his mouth and began CPR. Soon, she was drenched in sweat, but thankfully, the boy started to respond…
Good heavens, the child is finally saved! Traditional Chinese medicine mainly deals with chronic illnesses; there's no need for emergency treatment! I've been memorizing theories for years; this is real-world practice!
The boy woke up, and everyone gathered around him, chattering away.
Taking advantage of the children's inattention, Song Yan took out a piece of clothing from her spatial storage and draped it over herself. Song Yan was thankful she had clothes in her space. The wet clothes clung to her body, revealing her slender figure. If others saw her like this in this era, they would definitely gossip. She had just collected quite a few large fish in her space; she'd put two into the bucket…
Just then, a group of people came running. The men, being faster, arrived first. The two children belonged to Cheng Yousuo, the militia captain, and he was so angry that he raised his hand to hit them. Naturally, the people behind him stopped him.
A chaotic bunch of people.
Wei Aiguo ran over and saw Song Yan, who was soaked to the bone. He knew without asking that she was the one who had rescued the child. "Are you alright?"
"Let's take the bucket home!" Song Yan said. Although the weather was warmer now, it was still a bit chilly with the wind.
The women, running slowly, caught up. "Shut up! Da Mei!" The voice of Cheng Yousuo's wife, the militia captain, trembled. Those two children belonged to her family. Seeing the children were alright, she still cried uncontrollably. It was truly terrifying.
Several other educated youths rushed to the scene after hearing the news. Xiaoxiao was among them. "Did you rescue him from the river? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'll bring your food to my place tonight. I need to go home and change my clothes."
The children chattered amongst themselves and quickly learned what had happened. The team leader hurriedly called out to Wei Aiguo, "Aiguo, it's all thanks to your wife today, otherwise these two kids would be in big trouble. You don't need to work this afternoon, go and take your wife home to change her clothes."
Women's Director Wang Wenjuan's husband, Ren Quan, exclaimed, "I never expected my patriotic wife to be such a good swimmer. The undercurrents in this area have drowned many people."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The villagers all knew there was an undercurrent in this area, and anyone swept in almost always drowned. They had all warned their children not to come this way. Who knew these naughty kids would be so disobedient?
"Cheng Yousuo! You two should really thank your patriotic wife. Without her, these two kids would definitely be finished."
"Song, the educated youth, is really capable."...
Song Yan didn't know what they were saying. Xiao Xiao caught up with her, "Go back and boil some water for a bath. Drink some hot water too, understand?"
"Okay! Remember to bring your food to my place!" Song Yan reminded her again. The educated youth community cooked together, so everyone got their own meal. If Xiaoxiao didn't get her food, someone else would be getting a free meal.
Upon returning, Song Yan's first action wasn't to change her clothes, but to explore the space with her consciousness. She had just felt the pendant heat up. Wow! The space had expanded almost four times its original size. A spring had even appeared. It turned out that the space changed when healing or saving lives.
With a spring, we can store water. Song Yan used her mind to move the soil, creating a small pond of about four square meters. The remaining ten or so fish were still alive; let's try keeping them in the pond.
With more space available, let's find something else to plant...
"Song Yan, I've boiled some water for you," Wei Aiguo called from outside the door.
Song Yan opened the door and took the hot water. Her collar was slightly open, and Wei Aiguo immediately thought of the fair neck he had seen that day…
Wei Aiguo felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly went to clean the fish. He wanted to find something to do so he wouldn't think about anything else.
There were two large fish in the bucket, each weighing about four pounds, and five or six more that were over half a foot long. Wei Aiguo was cleaning the fish while talking to his mother about what had happened that day.
Aunt Wei sighed deeply. "Song Yan really did a great deed today. If those two children were gone, it would have been the death of You Suo's wife!"
