Xiao Yuer looked around for a long time before she was sure that the vague shadow on the river was indeed a person.

She checked it again and again, and when she realized she was not mistaken, she suddenly became a little flustered.

You have to know that this is not a port, and it is early morning. There is no one around except her.

Xiao Yuer looked around and gritted her teeth to flip over the rusty chain.

Before she could even walk down the stairs, she heard someone shouting at the top of his lungs behind her: "Xiao Yu'er, don't be impulsive!"

However, Lu Yu Niang was worried and thought about it, so she followed the direction she left and asked for directions, and finally followed her here.

Lu Yu Niang had lived in Nangang Street much longer than Xiao Yu'er. When she arrived nearby, she didn't have to think too much to guess the places where Xiao Yu'er would probably go.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she crossed the alley, she saw Xiao Yuer climbing over the protective chain and trying to go down.

The bottom step was submerged in the river, so Lu Yu Niang couldn't help but think the worst.

Xiao Yu'er is still young, and has suffered so many setbacks. It is very likely that she will become depressed and plan to jump into the river.

Lu Yu Niang was terrified and rushed forward at an unprecedented speed.

When Xiao Yuer had just walked down a few steps, he grabbed her wrist, panting.

"Go back with me."

Lu Yu Niang's unquestionable tone made her sound like Xiao Yu'er's real elder.

"We'll think of a way to deal with your grandmother's house. The Lius definitely don't care about two shabby houses."

She knew what was bothering Xiao Yuer, so she overturned her previous statement as soon as she opened her mouth, hoping to calm her down first.

"open."

Xiao Yuer waved her hand without even turning her head, her tone somewhat anxious.

"Xiao Yu'er!" Lu Yu Niang roared angrily.

Your grandmother raised you with great difficulty, not for you to jump into the river after she passed away."

"..." Xiao Yuer looked at her speechlessly and said helplessly, "I'm not that fragile. I'm not going to jump into the river just because I have a fight with you."

Lu Yu Niang still held her arm tightly, with no emotion in her eyes.

"Open your eyes and look at the river!" Xiao Yuer couldn't help but pointed angrily.

Lu Yu Niang subconsciously looked in the direction she pointed and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Did this person float over after jumping into the river?"

Xiao Yuer shook her head uncertainly after hearing this, "It should have drifted over from somewhere else. When I saw it just now, it was even farther away."

When she said this, she noticed that Lu Yu Niang's fingers loosened, so she hurriedly continued.

Until the last step surfaced, Xiao Yuer, who was hesitant about jumping in to save people, had no time to act.

Then I saw Lu Yu Niang frowning and said in a serious tone: "Don't be impulsive, wait until you drift a little further towards this side before you speak."

"It's a distance that's beyond the capability of either you or me to swim across, not to mention that we'll have to bring someone with us on the return trip."

"Don't let yourself get hurt instead of being able to save others."

Although Xiao Yu'er is stubborn, she is not unreasonable.

Besides, although Lu Yu Niang’s swimming ability may not be as good as hers, she has been exposed to her environment for so many years, and her ability to handle emergencies must be much better than hers.

So Xiao Yuer hesitated for a while and then expressed her opinion to Lu Yu Niang.

"Why don't we find a boat to go down from the harbor, circle around and rescue people, or at least borrow some life jackets."

"Don't even think about borrowing life jackets. Mr. Liu has said that no one dares to lend us anything." Lu Yu's mother twitched the corner of her mouth. She was used to Mr. Liu's shameless behavior.

"We can't delay any longer." Xiao Yuer stood on tiptoe and watched for a long time, then shouted anxiously, "The other party should still be alive, but if we delay any further, he will most likely be in danger."

Lu Yu Niang had a calm expression and held Xiao Yu'er's hand tightly. After a while, she responded, "It's absolutely not okay at this distance now. If you go into the water, you will hurt others and yourself."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Xiao Yuer understood that the other party said this out of consideration for her own safety. She rarely made sarcastic remarks and asked quietly.

"Eighty meters."

Lu Yu Niang looked at the figure floating closer and closer to this direction, her pupils shrank, and she was obviously a little nervous.

"When the enemy is about 80 meters away, we will go down to rescue them."

"I'll swim over first and try to get him within 40 meters. The rest is up to you."

This distance was a decision Lu Yu Niang made after careful consideration. No matter how good Xiao Yu'er is at swimming, he is just a child. Once the distance is too far, the risk factor will increase exponentially.

She had to swim 80 meters first, and then when she turned back she had to swim another 40 meters with the person on the river. It was definitely not an easy task.

After receiving this response, Xiao Yuer also agreed with her decision, so she stared into the distance with eyes wide open, waiting for the other party to approach within 80 meters.

However, Xiao Yuer's attention did not have much effect. The figure floating on the river not only did not continue to approach in this direction, but instead seemed to drift in another direction.

"Sister Lu!" Xiao Yuer couldn't help but yelled nervously when she saw this, "Think of a solution quickly."

Her sincere call of "Sister Lu" failed to eliminate the cautiousness in Lu Yu Niang's eyes. She just stared at the river, trying to wait for a turning point.

"If you don't save me, I will!"

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Yu'er was so angry that she didn't care about anything else. She pushed Lu Yu Niang away and dived into the water.

Lu Yu Niang had no time to think about it now. After thinking it over, she gritted her teeth and jumped in.

"Xiao Yu'er, let's follow the order we just discussed."

After giving these instructions, she added, "The distance now is about 100 meters. After I swim over, I will swim back with the other person."

"When we run out of energy, I'll call on you to take over. We can take turns, and it shouldn't be a problem."

Lu Yu Niang didn't care what Xiao Yu'er was thinking as she swam forward with her head down. She just exerted a little effort and quickly passed her.

Xiao Yuer swam about 50 meters, then stopped panting to recover her strength.

She watched Lu Yu Niang's figure gradually approaching the person floating on the river, her expression a little nervous.

When Lu Yu Niang swam closer, she could see clearly that the person floating on the river was actually a girl in her twenties, floating on her back in the water.

She forced herself to be alert, stretched out her finger and placed it on the other person's philtrum. It took a long time before she noticed any signs of breathing.

Lu Yu Niang suddenly felt better and turned to Xiao Yu'er and shouted, "She's still alive!"

Xiao Yuer, who had been tense ever since she noticed a person on the river, finally relaxed.

Lu Yu Niang observed for a moment, walked around to the woman's head, reached out and grabbed a handful of hair, and using the floating force of the river water, she used her skill to pull her towards the steps.

She clenched her hands around the long hair and pulled lightly, dragging the other person's body.

Just when I was wondering if I was too relaxed, I felt a ray of light flash across my eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the woman floating on the river felt her body become much heavier and she regained the resistance that a normal person should have.
