She grabbed Yu Qizhe's hand and said, "Let's go together, let's go together."
Because of fear, Yu Jiao was completely unaware that she was repeating herself, and even spoke incoherently, "Let's swim together towards uncle's side. With buoyancy, they will definitely be able to pull the three of us. Let's go together."
"Okay." Yu Qizhe didn't hesitate any longer. He let Yu Jiao wrap the clothesline around his arm and shouted to Yu Qiaoshan, "Uncle, we're done."
Yu Qiaoshan shouted loudly, "One, two, three, let's pull together."
A dozen people behind him worked together to pull the rope and drag him backwards.
Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe swam hard while they pulled the rope. The strength of more than a dozen men should not be underestimated. The suction of the water could not resist the power of unity, and Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe successfully left the whirlpool.
Yu Jiao was overjoyed. She took her last breath and swam with all her strength towards Yu Qiaoshan.
Seeing that there was only three or four meters left, Xiao Douzi, who was hugging Yu Qizhe's neck, suddenly let go and fell into the water.
Wang Damao screamed when he saw this scene.
At the critical moment, Yu Qizhe reached out and scooped up Xiaodouzi, pulled him into his arms, held him tightly with his arms, and continued to swim forward.
Yu Qiaoshan and the dozen or so men worked even harder upon seeing this. Wang Damao roared and pulled the rope with all his might.
More than a dozen people dragged Yu Jiao and the other two out of the water.
After surviving the disaster, Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe were completely exhausted. Their legs went limp and they fell into the water that was above their calves. They breathed greedily, and their tense bodies and nerves finally relaxed.
Wang Damao took the unconscious little Douzi from Yu Qizhe's arms and called out anxiously, "Douzi, Douzi, wake up, Daddy is here, wake up quickly..."
Yu Jiao said weakly, "Let me take a look."
Wang Damao quickly brought the child to her. Yu Jiao weakly raised her arm and placed it on Xiao Douzi's pulse. After a while, she said, "It's okay. He was just frightened and too tired and passed out. Take good care of him and make sure he doesn't have a fever..."
Yu Jiao paused. The whole village was flooded. If she had a fever, she couldn't cross the Qingshui River and would have no way to seek medical treatment.
Then she thought of the herbs she could collect in the mountains. The herbs for treating colds should not be that difficult to find, so she continued, "If you have a fever, tell me as soon as possible. I should be able to find herbs for reducing fever in the mountains."
Wang Damao nodded gratefully, and suddenly bent his knees and knelt down in front of Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe, saying, "I, Wang Damao, will never forget your great kindness in saving Xiaodouzi. In the future, my family will work hard to repay your kindness."
Yu Qizhe did not comment, and Yu Jiao did not have the energy to talk to Wang Damao, so she just nodded.
Yu Qiaoshan helped Yu Jiao up from the water and said, "I'll carry Meng girl on my back, Zhixing, you carry Fifth Brother, let's go up the mountain first, it's too dangerous here."
The villagers who helped rescue people also waded up the mountain path. It was already daybreak and the village at the foot of the mountain had been flooded into a pond. No one knew when the water would recede.
The cave halfway up the mountain was already crowded with people. When Yu Qiaoshan and his group came in, someone took the initiative to make room for them to enter the cave.
There are also some people like Huang Gousheng who had fought with the three brothers of the Yu family in Yu Hanshan's yard.
The Yu family did not hold a grudge against them, and even knocked on the door to remind them when the flood came, which made them feel ashamed.
Fortunately, there is shelter from the rain under the steep rocks outside.
Seeing that Yu Qizhe and Yu Jiao both looked half dead, Song asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Yu Qiaoshan and Yu Zhixing took them down from their backs, and Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe lay on the haystack on the ground.
"Da Mao's child fell into the water. Wu Ge'er and Yu Jiao went down to rescue him. Fortunately, he survived." Yu Qiaoshan said concisely.
Song's eyes immediately turned red. She looked at Yu Jiao and then at Yu Qizhe. She held their hands and said distressedly, "Are they feeling unwell? Dad, check their pulses."
Yu Ruhai said, "Who has a fire starter? Let's light a fire."
Going up the mountain in a hurry, no one had time to take a tinder. Those who brought a tinder were wet and dripping with water, making them completely unusable.
Yu Jiao said to Yu Fuling, "Sister, there is a fire stick in the medical box."
Yu Fuling quickly opened the medical box. Fortunately, the box was sealed tightly, the lid was tight, and the tinderbox was not damp. She piled up the firewood and ignited the hay, and the fire soon caught fire.
The villagers, whose clothes were soaked, all moved towards the fire, but they stood on the periphery and did not crowd into the Yu family.
Yu Ruhai examined the two people's pulses and said, "The pulses are a little weak. Do you have any medicine to prevent and treat colds in your medical box?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Fuling started rummaging in the medical box and actually found a packet of herbal medicine for treating colds. The small iron pot in the cave came in handy again. Yu Zhizhou took the iron pot and went outside to fetch water.
Yu Qizhe lay beside Yu Jiao, looking at her pale little face. Because she had been in the water for too long, her lips were covered with blisters. His heartache was expressed in one sentence, "Do you regret it? Is it worth it?"
They are completely unrelated to you, so why should you risk your life to save them?
