Chapter 491: Saving People

Seeing that her sister had been feeling unwell recently, and hearing her casually say that she wanted to eat preserved fruits, Xia Qingcao told her family, went out to play for a while, and then went to the military service dormitory.

When he was walking home with the preserved fruits he bought, he suddenly heard some children shouting something at the lake in the distance. He walked over there curiously. After a while, he saw several children running towards the road, shouting:

"Help, help, someone fell into the lake!"

"Help, help, someone fell into the lake!"

He grabbed one of the children and asked:

"Who fell into the lake?"

"Su, Su Xin, Su Xin fell into the lake." The child who was running out of breath answered and turned his head to look at the lake.

"Not only Su Xin, Su Yang also fell in..." Another child corrected him immediately.

Xia Qingcao has always been much more mature than other children of the same age. He is very calm when dealing with things. When he heard that the two children of his aunt's family fell into the lake, his face suddenly changed. Without thinking, he took a step and ran to the place where the children pointed.

When he arrived at the lake, he saw the two children struggling in the water. Their bodies sank completely, and they only nodded and waved their hands.

Xia Qingcao did not jump in to save them immediately. Instead, he took off his clothes and picked up a long dry bamboo pole from the bamboo forest nearby. He handed it to the oldest child who followed him and said to him calmly:

"I will save them later, and you can hand this to me and pull me up."

"Okay, Brother Qingcao." The child nodded immediately in agreement.

Seeing that the two children in the water were not struggling, Xia Qingcao quickly jumped into the water.

As soon as he jumped into the water, Su Wan from his second uncle's family also ran over. After asking the other children what happened, he immediately took the bamboo pole from the child and told them to go and inform the adults.

Xia Qingcao was a good swimmer. Not long after, he swam to Su Xin's side, pulled Su Xin with his hand and swam to the shore. Su Wan immediately handed him the bamboo pole in his hand, and Xia Qingcao quickly reached the shore with the pulling force of the bamboo pole.

Su Wan pulled Su Xin out of the water with great effort, and Xia Qingcao turned around and swam to where Su Yang sank...

At this time, Shi Yamin and Zhou Huiying, who had received the news, had already rushed over. Seeing Su Xin lying on the ground, motionless, Shi Yamin's soul seemed to have been taken away, her eyes were so empty that she didn't even have the fear, until she was bumped by Zhou Huiying who was running behind her, and then she came to her senses.

When she ran over, picked up Su Xin, and just wanted to call her name, she suddenly spit out a mouthful of water, and then burst into tears with a "wow".

Shi Yamin saw Su Xin wake up, and her grief immediately turned into joy. She quickly took off her cotton jacket, wrapped her daughter up, held her in her arms, and gently stroked her face and comforted her:

"Xiao Xin, it's okay, it's okay, mom is here."

Su Xin was shivering all over, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or because of fear. She was crying loudly, and suddenly seemed to think of something and stopped crying immediately.

She raised her head from Shi Yamin's arms, struggled to pull her hands out of the cotton jacket, pointed her finger at the lake, opened her mouth wide, and kept making "Ah Wu Ah Wu" sounds, obviously wanting to tell her something.

Su Xin was anxious but could not speak. Seeing that her mother did not understand what she meant, she looked at the lake, but did not see her brother (Su Yang had sunk into the water at this time, and Xia Qingcao was underwater to save him). Suddenly, she was so anxious that she burst into tears again.

When she fell into the water, it was her brother who jumped down to save her without hesitation. After returning to the army, her brother stayed with her every day, told her stories, and made her happy. When others bullied her, her brother would also protect her without hesitation, even if he was injured and bleeding.

When she just came back, he would always hold her hand after she fell asleep, keep apologizing, and say to her,

"Brother will always protect you and will never lose you again!"

On the night of November 30, she heard her brother quietly make a New Year's wish:

"In the new year, I hope my sister will be happy every day, and no one will bully her or laugh at her for being dumb."

The bruises on her body no longer hurt. She had finally returned to her brother, and she didn't want to lose him. She no longer blamed her brother for losing her!

Su Xin was so anxious that she clenched her hands into small fists and pulled them tightly. Her mouth was trembling and she tried to make a sound by opening and closing it. Finally, her throat seemed to be opened by something. She looked at the lake and a voice broke through her throat and shouted:

"Brother, brother..."

Hearing her daughter suddenly speak, Shi Yamin was stunned and didn't recover for a long time.

I don't know if the gods heard her begging. After she shouted, two heads suddenly floated on the calm water. They were Xia Qingcao and Su Yang.

"Rescued, rescued!" Everyone cheered.

At this time, Su Wan, who was waiting on the shore, immediately handed over the long bamboo pole. Xia Qingcao reached out and grabbed the bamboo pole and was dragged over.

At this time, several adults came and pulled the two out of the water.

Because the person who came to inform them only said that Su Xin fell into the lake, Shi Yamin didn't know that Su Yang also jumped in, and her attention was on her daughter.

Now seeing her son being pulled out of the water, her face turned pale again, and she wanted to go to see her son immediately, but her legs were paralyzed due to the huge impact, so she could only crawl towards her son with her hands.

In just a few minutes, she experienced three huge emotional changes from great sorrow to great joy, and then to great sorrow again. It seemed that all the strength in her body was drained.

Zhou Huiying came over to help her daughter-in-law up and walked quickly to Su Yang's side.

Su Yang was put on the ground, unconscious, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. The soldiers who rushed over immediately began to perform CPR on him.

Since the last time Shi Yamin fell into the water, Xia Qingying used this method to save her. Later, Captain Lu specially trained everyone in this first aid method, and now the soldiers have basically mastered it.

After several times of blowing and pressing, Su Yang finally responded. After spitting out a few saliva, his consciousness slowly recovered.

He looked at Shi Yamin who was holding him with his terrified eyes. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the fear of falling into the water, but the first words he said were:

"Save my sister, save my sister!"
