Just as they were about to enter the narrow waterway, the boat caught up with them again, this time seemingly determined not to let Ms. Liu go back.
The firepower was even more intense than before. Jun Nanzhu only had pistols, so he could only take out one person at a time. Once they got through this road, they would be back in their own country.
Ms. Liu knew that Jun Nanzhu was being beaten, but she dared not be distracted at all. If she was not careful on this road, she would crash the boat and everyone on board would be buried at sea.
She had driven this route before before before, which is why she dared to suggest taking the sea route. However, the memory was too distant, and she was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and almost crashed into a cliff. She was so scared that she was covered in sweat.
She could see the opposite bank. If she looked another 100 meters, the other side wouldn't dare to chase after her. If they did, it would be an obvious weakness. Ms. Liu felt as if victory was beckoning her.
The boat was violently struck and then inevitably crashed into the cliff. A cracking sound was heard, and water instantly surged up.
Ms. Liu stopped the boat and turned to pick up her daughter, He Jiayin, who had developed a fever.
With a tender touch, she placed her daughter's forehead under her lips, the scalding heat washing over her face, and tears streamed down Ms. Liu's face.
"I'm sorry, child, I'm sorry that you were born into my womb, but you have never had a good life!" Ms. Liu gave birth to He Jiayin during a time of war.
After giving birth, she had to carry her child to the battlefield. Bullets were flying everywhere, and it was incredibly lucky that the child wasn't hit.
She had very little breast milk, and the baby only nursed for a few days. She also didn't have time to cook porridge for the baby, so the baby often went hungry. It's truly remarkable that the baby survived.
When she got a little older, Jun Nanzhu's mother took her in and cared for her, and the child finally had a stable life.
The time I spent taking care of her was extremely limited. Now that we've both perished in the sea, it's not so bad. It can be considered a way to make up for the regrets. It's just that I'll never see Lele again.
Jun Nanzhu staggered in and saw Ms. Liu holding He Jiayin, as if she was looking for something.
Jun Nanzhu, unsteady on his feet, reached a spot and retrieved three or four pieces of driftwood: "Mom, I've prepared driftwood. Let's see if we can swim across!"
Ms. Liu looked at the driftwood in surprise: "You knew you would fall into the water?"
"It's better to be prepared, none of us are very good swimmers."
Ms. Liu sighed, "Ah Zhu, if you can leave, then leave first! Yin Yin won't make it through this. You should go; the country needs you!"
Jun Nanzhu took He Jiayin from his mother-in-law's arms and said, "I'm injured too, Mom. You're the only one who's not injured right now, so you go first!"
Ms. Liu shook her head and was about to snatch He Jiayin away when Jun Nanzhu seemed to sense some danger and quickly pulled his mother-in-law aside, but it was too late!
With a loud bang, the ship exploded, and Jun Nanzhu and the other two fell into the water, their blood spreading from the sea.
Jun Nanzhu lost consciousness for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that his hands were empty. He was shocked and grabbed a piece of driftwood to look around.
Not only has He Jiayin disappeared, but Ms. Liu is also nowhere to be seen.
He panicked now. They were in the sea; how could he find them if they got lost? He didn't care about the gunshots that rang out again.
He wasn't a very good swimmer. He wanted to dive headfirst into the water, but someone grabbed him. He was about to throw a punch when someone caught his fist.
"Jun Nanzhu, I was sent by Division Commander Ruan of the Military Region to meet you."
Jun Nanzhu was overjoyed: "Go quickly and find Ms. Liu, and also Yinyin!"
The newcomer wrapped his arms around Jun Nanzhu's neck and swam back: "Someone went to rescue him, don't say anything, let's go!"
When Jun Nanzhu arrived on the boat, he saw He Jiale rush over to the side of the boat and pull him up. He cried sadly, "Lele, I lost your sister. She was just in my arms."
He Jiale almost collapsed upon hearing this. Seeing Jun Nanzhu covered in injuries as he approached, she said, "Someone went to rescue him. We heard gunshots just now and went over there. My sister will definitely be rescued, don't worry! Sister Tong, could you please bandage up my brother-in-law first?"
Then they heard a splash and saw two people coming over. He Jiale immediately recognized her mother as someone who had been rescued. He Jiale rushed over to help, calling out repeatedly, "Mom, Mom."
Ms. Liu lost consciousness and remained motionless, startling He Jiale, who cried out repeatedly, "Sister Tong, Sister Tong, come quickly and take a look at my mother!"
Yao Tongjia quickly touched Liu's neck and found it was still throbbing. She turned Liu's head to the side to check if anything was blocking her mouth.
I drained the water from her, and then used silver needles to prick a few acupoints.
Ms. Liu coughed, and He Jiale called out happily, "Mom, Mom!"
Ms. Liu saw He Jiale: "Where's your sister? Did your sister see this?"
He Jiale shook his head: "I haven't seen my sister yet!"
"Did your brother-in-law see it?" Ms. Liu was heartbroken; she had lost her daughter.
"Brother-in-law is up here, and Sister Tong is bandaging her wound! Mom, let me help you go change your clothes. I brought some clothes for you."
Ms. Liu shook her head: "Let me lie here, I want to wait for your sister to come back!"
Everyone stared at the calm sea when gunshots rang out again. This time, even Jun Nanzhu couldn't sit still: "Lele, how many people did you bring? Why are you firing gunshots?"
"We originally brought only five people, but five more joined us here. One boat is here, and another is docked over there. The gunshots were fired by them!"
"Those people who dared to chase you here, let them never leave alive!"
He Jiale spoke with a fierce rage; he wished he could go over there right now and beat them all to death, but he couldn't swim and couldn't let anyone catch him.
He couldn't cause trouble for his father; he just hoped these people could bring his sister back!
They waited until nightfall. If the sister had not been rescued by then, her chances of survival were almost nil. Tears welled up in He Jiale and Ms. Liu's eyes.
Jun Nanzhu, on the other hand, remained calm, leaning limply against the boat as if he had lost all his strength, but his face showed no tears or sadness.
The gunfire had stopped for several hours, and the other ship still hadn't returned. The surroundings were silent, and no one was in the mood to speak.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a boat sliding, and everyone became alert. The boat looked like a friend, but in such a situation, it was really hard to tell whether the person coming was friend or foe!
The people on the ship probably knew what was going on, and before anyone even came out, they shouted, "Xiao Gengwu, Yao Tongjia, it's me!"
The voice made Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongjia run out: "Is that Uncle Eagle?"
"It's me!" The hawk-eyed man carried someone out of the deck. "Come quick, look at her, her forehead has a very high temperature!"
