Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Rescuing People from the River_1

Xiao Wang Village isn’t large; the river is to the west of the village, and it only takes a few minutes to run there at any given time. Nan Fei ran to the river as if her life depended on it and was greeted by the sight of the raging river.

Last night’s heavy rain had raised the water level by at least a meter more than usual.

“Jiang Yang… Jiang Yang…” She seemed to hear her harsh and grating voice as she rushed toward the river. She ran so fast that she nearly plunged straight into the water but was luckily pulled back by someone standing by the river.

Inside Nan Fei’s head, everything was in utter chaos. The sheer panic made her hot and cold in turns; she couldn’t stay calm at all.

No, she must remain calm. Only by staying calm could she find a way to save her younger brother.

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists tightly, and asked the people around her in a trembling voice.

“How is it? Where is my younger brother? Where did he fall in?” The riverbank covered a great range, and the river surface was wide. If she didn’t figure out where he had fallen from, she wouldn’t be able to find him.

“Where, where is Nan Fei.”

Someone pointed to the opposite bank; Nan Fei squinted to see and then suddenly widened her eyes. There was a figure bobbing up and down in the water. The long, black hair floating on the surface of the water like rootless duckweed and could be swept away by the waves at any moment.

It’s Zhuanzhuan!

One trouble led to another.

Zhuanzhuan had jumped into the water to rescue someone, but she didn’t know how to swim.

Most of the girls in the village didn’t know how to swim. During summer, boys would bathe in the river while the girls, too shy to do the same, naturally didn’t learn to swim.

“Someone has already run to the village to call for the adults!” The majority on the riverbank were women and children. The few men around stepped back, frightened by the rapid rise of the water level.

No one dared to go into the water.

Anyone with a little sense knew that while the surface of the river might appear calm, there could be turbulent undercurrents. Once in the water, even a slight miscalculation could swiftly carry you dozens of meters downstream.

Even people with excellent swimming skills couldn’t return at this point.

Nan Fei’s eyes turned red. Without a second thought, she launched herself into the river. She acted so quickly that there was no chance to think or stop her. The people on the bank were taken aback, but they were stunned to see her rapidly swim towards the center of the river.

Because she swam quickly and well.

Once Nan Fei hit the water, oddly enough, she calmed down. Seeing no sign of Jiang Yang, she opted to first swim towards Zhuanzhuan. Using the lifesaving actions she had learned from a professional coach in her past life, she swam behind Zhuanzhuan, restrained her by the neck, and towed her towards the bank.

Zhuanzhuan was as white as a sheet, disoriented from swallowing so much water, and her struggling was startlingly forceful. Nan Fei, fighting to hold on to her, struggled immensely.

But some force inside her made her grit her teeth and use brute strength to quickly pull Zhuanzhuan to the bank.

The people on the bank immediately pulled her up. Leaving no time for first aid, Nan Fei took a deep breath and plunged straight into the river like an agile fish.

Jiang Yang… Jiang Yang, wait for your sister…

Your sister is coming…

The pain and endless despair from losing her brother in her past life became the deepest obsession in her heart. Sleepless nights tormented her, and countless dreams were filled with scenarios where she dove into the river and pulled her brother to safety.

But even dreams have to come to an end.

Waking up meant facing endless torment.

Day after day, it kept repeating.
