Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly said:
"Let me go! I need to go down and save my child. I don't want to die, really!"
At this moment, a burly woman pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, and forcefully pulled Jiang Yuwei, who was clinging to the railing, down from the railing. She smiled apologetically at her:
"I am Zhang Xiaohua, the daughter of Butcher Zhang. You don't need to repay me, just buy more meat from my butcher shop."
Jiang Yuwei was both amused and exasperated by her words. Just as everyone was in a state of confusion, a man suddenly shouted:
"They're up! They're up! The person has been rescued!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the shore and saw a little girl, about five or six years old, being pulled ashore, completely soaking wet.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly pushed her way to the front of the crowd and shouted:
"Where's my son? Where did my son go? Ning Zhao! Ning Zhao! Where are you? Waaah, please save my son! Can any of you swim in and save him? Waaah..."
As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she grabbed the onlookers and cried out as if she had gone mad:
"Whoever saves my son, I'll give them money, as much as they want, as long as they can save my son. I have money, I really have money!"
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yuwei pulled the purse from her waist, held it up in her hand, and cried out:
"Please, please save my son... Waaah..."
Just as Jiang Yuwei was screaming her heart out, she heard someone weakly calling her from behind:
"Mother, Mother, I'm here, I'm here..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei turned around and saw Ning Zhao lying exhausted on the shore. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei rushed forward, knelt down, and pulled Ning Zhao's hand, desperately pulling him ashore. Ignoring the fact that Ning Zhao was still wet, she hugged him tightly and asked worriedly:
"Zhao'er, are you alright? You scared your mother to death!"
Ning Zhao gave a weak smile;
"Mother, Zhao'er is fine. It's all my fault for making you worry about me."
Jiang Yuwei hugged Ning Zhao tightly, patting his back and crying:
"You naughty child, you scared your mother to death! If you hadn't come up, I would have gone crazy. I will never allow you to do such dangerous things again. You are still a child yourself, how can you jump down to save others!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhao suddenly realized something and hurriedly said:
"Mother, Mother, how is the girl I rescued?"
Jiang Yuwei also thought of this and hurriedly looked at the girl who was still lying on the shore, soaking wet. She saw that the girl's face was pale and she looked like she was dead. Jiang Yuwei thought that the girl might have choked on the water. At this time, she should rush to rescue her. She could not let the person Ning Zhao risked his life to save die in such an inexplicable way.
Thinking this through, Jiang Yuwei immediately released Ning Zhao, pushed through the crowd, and shouted:
"Get out of the way, make room for this child to breathe, or she'll die!"
Upon hearing this, everyone kept their distance from the girl. No one wanted to get involved in a murder case while just strolling around town, so they all watched the girl from a distance.
Jiang Yuwei squatted down next to the girl, reached out and checked her faint breathing. She then quickly straightened the girl's body, tilted her head back slightly, pried open the girl's jaw with her fingers, and cleared the foreign object from her mouth.
Then she turned the girl over and patted her back hard with her hands. Only in this way could she better clear the girl's airway. When Jiang Yuwei saw that the girl had vomited up most of the water, she laid the girl flat and began to perform artificial respiration on her.
After performing artificial respiration for a while, Jiang Yuwei saw that the girl still showed no signs of waking up, so she quickly started performing CPR on the girl, rhythmically pressing the girl's heart area with her palm.
While Jiang Yuwei was busy providing first aid, a short, plump woman squeezed through the crowd. Seeing the little girl lying on the ground, she slid over to her and cried out:
"My poor daughter, wake up! Don't leave your mother behind! I don't want to bury my child!"
Seeing this, Ning Zhao quickly stepped forward to stop the woman and advised her:
"Auntie, please don't worry, my mother is saving her. Please wait over there."
When the woman saw someone trying to pull her, she became furious, violently swung her arm, and shouted:
"Who are you? Don't meddle in my family's business! You and your mother, you're all bad people!"
Ning Wan, who had been standing to the side, saw this woman talking about her brother and mother, and she also spoke up in a cute but fierce tone:
"You, you shrew, why are you speaking ill of my brother and mother? You're not a good person at all! It was clearly my brother who rescued that young lady from the water!"
Upon hearing this, the woman turned and glared fiercely at Ning Wan. Then, as if she had thought of something, she raised an eyebrow, turned to Ning Zhao, and pointed at his nose, cursing:
"Well, you little devil with a belly full of evil intentions, tell me, did you push my Xiaoyu into the water? Our Xiaoyu is such a good child, she usually doesn't dare to go near the shore, how could she have fallen into the water for no reason today!"
The woman's tone became increasingly firm as she spoke.
"Yes, it was you, it must have been you! You pushed my Xiaoyu into the water and then pretended to be a hero, saying you saved her. I bet you're too scared to take the blame for murder!"
Seeing the woman slander him like this, Ning Zhao hurriedly waved his hand anxiously and said:
"No, really no, I was just passing by when I heard someone calling for help in the water, so I jumped in to save them. My sister saw it all. I really didn't kill anyone!"
Ning Wan glared angrily at the woman and said:
"Yes, I saw it all. My brother is a hero; he saved the young lady!"
Jiang Yuwei, who was diligently performing CPR on Xiaoyu, could no longer tolerate the woman's words. Her son had risked his life to save someone, and this woman was now trying to extort money from him. Ignoring Xiaoyu who was still lying on the ground, Jiang Yuwei pointed at the woman and began to berate her:
"You heartless, rotten-hearted, brain-frozen, vicious fat bastard! Are you blind or deaf? Didn't you see that it was my son who risked his life to save your daughter? Your daughter isn't even completely dead yet, and you're already rushing here to mourn her. You've been here for so long, have you even glanced at your daughter once?"
As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she stood up and walked directly to the woman, bent down, pinched the woman's face, examined it carefully, and laughed:
"Where did you learn this skill of all bark and no bite? You've been wailing for ages without shedding a single tear. I think you've gone mad. You're trying to extort money from a child!"
Upon seeing this, the woman quickly slapped away Jiang Yuwei's hand that was pinching her chin and said hastily:
"You're talking nonsense! I clearly cried! I don't care, it was your son who pushed my Xiaoyu into the water, so he has to take responsibility! He has to pay compensation! Hand over the money now!"
