Chapter 17: Rescuing a Child from the Water



Ye Qingtao had one arm around Gu Xiuyuan's waist and was paddling desperately with the other arm.

After falling into the water, Gu Xiuyuan became extremely frightened. He kept struggling and continued to descend, pulling Ye Qingtao's body with him.

It is said that people who fall into the water are the most difficult to rescue. Although Gu Xiuyuan is only an 8-year-old child and a little thin, the fear of falling into the water makes him extremely strong.

Although Ye Qingtao is an adult, he was still tortured a lot.

The two little ones didn't dare to play in the water anymore. They lay on the side of the boat, shouting and crying.

"Brother, brother, save brother!"

Gu Xiuping's emotions were a little broken, he cried and screamed loudly.

Gu Xiu'an has autism and doesn't talk much, but he was also anxious at this time.

His face was covered with tears and snot, and he looked extremely miserable.

The two brothers stared at Ye Qingtao, hoping that she could hold on and rescue their brother.

There was a gleam of hope and a little bit of desire in their eyes.

Fortunately, Gu Jingming rowed the boat over quickly. He leaned half of his body forward and quickly pulled the panicked Gu Xiuyuan ashore.

At this time, Ye Qingtao was a little exhausted, and Gu Jingming almost knelt on the ground and carried her onto the boat.

Gu Xiuyuan was lying unconscious on the boat. It was early winter and the river water was too cold. Even though Gu Xiuyuan was unconscious, he was still shivering from the cold.

Gu Jingming took off his coat and covered him with it. Ye Qingtao was already soaked and his lips were purple from the cold.

Gu Jingming really didn't have a coat to give her, so he could only take off his shirt and put it on her shoulders.

At this time, Gu Jingming was shirtless in the middle of winter. The cold wind blew over him, but his body seemed to be made of iron. He did not tremble at all, as if he could not feel the cold at all.

Although Gu Xiuyuan was in the water for a short time, he is unable to wake up now due to choking.

Ye Qingtao came to Gu Xiuyuan trembling.

With trembling hands, she began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Gu Xiuyuan.

"Dig it out. Clean out the sand and foreign objects in his mouth."

Ye Qingtao gave an order and Gu Jingming immediately did it.

Ye Qingtao pressed his abdomen rhythmically, and Gu Jingming noticed in panic that Ye Qingtao's method of saving lives was very professional.

He was a little nervous at first, but when his eyes met her calm face and he saw the determination in her eyes, his heart immediately calmed down.

The two little ones surrounded them. They didn't say anything, but you could see that their faces were pale. They must be very nervous.

Gu Xiuping clutched his sleeves tightly with both hands, and a deep fear flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly he knelt down on the deck and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Sister, please, please save my brother!"

"Gu Xiuping, you don't have to do this. It will only affect me. I will save him even if you don't beg me."

Saving lives is a doctor's duty. Even though Ye Qingtao died suddenly on the operating table in his previous life, he never regretted it.

Gu Jingming patted him on the back, and Gu Xiuping's emotions stabilized a little.

He stretched out his two little hands and tightly grasped Gu Jingming's arm, his little body shaking with fear.

He will never forget that when his parents died and they were driven out of their home by the villagers, it was his brother who opened his arms to protect them.

My brother set traps for fishing and went hunting in the mountains at a very young age.

My brother took them to pick wild vegetables and dig tree bark.

Whenever there is a little food, my brother will give it to them first.

If it weren't for their brother, they would have died long ago.

Now that their brother has fallen into the river and his life or death is unknown, they are all very scared.

With Ye Qingtao's continuous efforts, Gu Xiuyuan spat out a mouthful of water, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother is awake, brother is awake!"

Gu Xiuping wiped the tears and snot from his face and screamed in surprise.

Gu Xiu'an was unwilling to speak because of his autism, but now he was shouting excitedly, and everyone could see that he was very happy.

Gu Jingming also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Xiuyuan open his eyes.

He picked up the oars and started rowing again.

Ye Qingtao was staying beside Gu Xiuyuan, patiently giving him a body massage.

Gu Xiuyuan's originally cold and stiff body gradually became soft and warm under Ye Qingtao's careful pressure.

Gu Jingming rowed very fast and soon the boat reached the shore.

"Thank you, sister, for saving me."

Gu Xiuyuan's voice was hoarse, but his eyes were sincere.

"Even though you don't listen to me, I can't just watch you fall into the water and freeze to death or drown."

Ye Qingtao brought it up at the right time, and Gu Xiuyuan immediately lowered his head shyly.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have disobeyed you just now."

"It's okay. It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't do it again next time. I can pretend that it never happened. You will still be the little cutie that I like."

Gu Xiuyuan smiled and nodded, thinking silently in his heart.

Auntie is beautiful and gentle, as beautiful as an angel. Can big brother really marry her?

Gu Jingming hugged Gu Xiuyuan and got off the boat, and Ye Qingtao followed them holding the two children.

It's just past four in the afternoon, and they were supposed to play until dark before going back.

I didn't expect something to happen while rowing, so now I have to go back.

The cold wind blew over, and Ye Qingtao, who was soaked all over, shivered continuously due to the cold.

Gu Xiuping raised his head and looked at her with some concern: "Sister, are you cold?"

Ye Qingtao didn't want to make him worry, so she quickly shook her head.

"Sister, you're not cold."

"You're lying! Your lips are already purple, and you're still saying you're not cold!"

"It's all my brother's fault. He didn't obey and played in the water, so I had to jump into the water to save him."

"What if my sister gets sick? Xiuping will be very distressed."

Gu Xiuping's voice was soft and thin, and Ye Qingtao felt warm inside when she heard it.

She originally felt very cold, but now she felt a little warm in her heart, and even her limbs were warmer.

"Xiuping, be good and don't cry. Sister is not afraid of the cold. Go back and change your clothes and drink some brown sugar ginger tea. You will feel better soon."

Another gust of cold wind blew by, and Ye Qingtao couldn't help but let her teeth chatter.

The weather was so cold that she couldn't bear it even if she wanted to.

When Gu Xiuping saw her like this, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Sister, your teeth are chattering, and you still lied to me and said you weren't cold? Why did you lie to me? Didn't big brother say if it's cold, it's cold, and if it's not cold, it's not cold? Why did you lie to me?"

Ye Qingtao looked at him talking to her like a little adult and couldn't help but reach out and rub his furry little head.

"Why is our Xiuping so cute? I really like you more and more."

Ye Qingtao's words came from the heart. Although children may encounter accidents, which may be frightening, they can also bring them warmth in many cases.
