After retaking the college entrance examination, I immediately changed my choice

Su Ziyu's hometown is in a village called Longxi.

There is a small hydroelectric power station in the village, just opposite Su Ziyu's house.

Although there was a small river less than two meters wide, a small path and several fields in the middle, it was indeed facing the gate of Su Ziyu's house.

The water in the stream flows down from the mountain and is released after passing through the power station.

The river water is warm in winter and cool in summer. Before the water pipes were installed, the Su family relied on this small river for drinking and water use.

When Su Ziyu was a child, his favorite thing was to swim in the river with a swimming ring in the summer.

The water in the stream is not very deep, and in the hot summer weather, they can soak in the water for an entire afternoon.

Then in the evening, several beautiful little girls would pick the mirabilis jalapa flowers blooming by the river together.

Mirabilis jalapa blooms around five or six in the evening. Su Ziyu and her friends often pull out half of the filaments of the Mirabilis jalapa and gently put the fruits at the top into their ears, so that they can get a pair of beautiful flower earrings (perhaps there should be pictures here).

However, even with such convenient conditions, after more than ten years, Su Ziyu still couldn't do without a swimming ring when swimming, which made her very depressed.

The opposite of this is naturally Su Zihao.

Su Zihao has a strong athletic ability and learns sports-related subjects very quickly.

After swimming back and forth a few times in the creek with grandpa, I could swim properly.

The key is that he is brave and he didn't panic even when he choked on water.

So when he was seven or eight years old, Su Zihao had mastered several swimming styles. He was like a little white dragon in the waves in the water, and he felt very comfortable.

At this moment, Su Ziyu was wearing thin long-sleeved shirt and trousers, holding a small basket and standing by the river. He looked a little dazed, as if he saw Su Zihao's agile figure in the water.

Yang Yun held a palm-leaf fan and looked at Su Ziyu's eager expression. She asked with a smile, "Want to go swimming?"

Su Ziyu shook his head. "Forget it! I need to find some more wild sweet potatoes now that it's not so hot anymore!"

If she were in a city swimming pool, she wouldn't feel awkward even if she wore a sexy swimsuit.

But if a girl of her age went swimming in the river in the village, she would attract talk even if she was wearing proper clothes.

Whenever Su Ziyu thought of this scene, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Although it was already past six in the afternoon, the sun had not yet set, it just couldn't reach the river.

Su Ziyu squatted on the ground, feeling his way inch by inch, and soon found a small handful of wild sweet potatoes.

The wild sweet potatoes have turned red. Each one is small, no bigger than a thumb at most. Even with some dirt on it, it still looks very tempting.

Su Ziyu turned around and washed them twice in the river water, then stuffed a few into his grandmother's hands.

While Yang Yun was fanning Su Ziyu with a palm-leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes surrounding her, she put one into her mouth.

The sour and sweet taste exploded in Yang Yun's mouth, so sour that her facial features wrinkled.

Yang Yun waved her hand and returned the remaining few to Su Ziyu.

"No, I can't eat this. It makes my teeth sour."

"They're all ripe, how can they be sour?" Su Ziyu picked one up suspiciously and threw it into his mouth.

A little sour, but not much!

The long-lost smell made Su Ziyu's eyes narrow with happiness.

"Snapped!"

Su Ziyu was eating happily when he heard a loud slap.

I looked up and found that it was my grandma swatting mosquitoes.

It's a tiny mosquito, like a black dot.

If you don't move for a long time, the exposed skin will be covered with blood, and one slap can kill more than a dozen people.

"Grandma, please fan yourself instead of me. I'm wearing long sleeves and even sprayed some toilet water when I came out."

Yang Yun said nonchalantly, "Hey, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the village. We've gotten used to it."

Su Ziyu stopped eating the wild sweet potatoes. He rummaged around for a while and found half a basket of them. Then he called his grandmother and prepared to go back.

At this time, a boy wearing only briefs and barefoot came stumbling over from downstream.

The moment he saw them, the little boy burst into tears.

Yang Yun's expression changed. "Dashan, what's wrong?"

Dashan, who looked no more than eight or nine years old, looked extremely bewildered with a pale face. "Grandma Yang, my brother...he was swept downstream."

Su Ziyu's expression also changed. Because there was a sluice gate downstream, the water was much deeper than upstream.

The deepest part is two meters deep. Even an adult standing upright cannot show his head, let alone a child.

"Grandma, please call someone. I'll go check it out first."

Su Ziyu didn't care about anything else. He stuffed the basket into Yang Yun's arms and ran downstream in a hurry.

Although Yang Yun was anxious, she did not panic. She quickly took out her cell phone and called her son.

After explaining what happened simply and clearly, Yang Yun also followed him downstream.

After all, she has been a nurse for so many years and she still knows basic first aid measures.

If someone is rescued, she will have a chance to play a role.

However, her legs were not very nimble and she walked slowly. Dashan, who was originally following her, could not wait any longer and ran after Su Ziyu on his own.

When Su Ziyu arrived at the sluice gate, he could still see a little boy of six or seven years old floating up and down in the middle of the river, but his struggling movements were getting smaller and smaller.

When Xiaoshan saw Su Ziyu, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw and shouted with difficulty:

"Help..."

Su Ziyu was extremely anxious, but she couldn't swim, so she could only look around for any sturdy sticks or tools that could be used.

It was at this time that Su Ziyu heard a familiar mechanical sound.

[Ding—Perhaps a good life requires helping others? Faced with a drowning child, what would you choose…?]

[1. Jump into the water to save people regardless of the consequences.

——Reward: Entry-level swimming skills.】

[2. We are not familiar with each other anyway, so it has nothing to do with me.]

——Reward: Title 'Heart of Stone' (Automatically wears, cannot be removed, reduces emotional fluctuations by 80% after wearing).

[3. Find useful tools to pull the child up.

——Reward: Smart Lifebuoy x1. 】

Su Ziyu was stunned, then decisively chose three.

Although the first option seemed feasible, even if Su Ziyu learned to swim, she might not be able to rescue the child.

After all, she only has so much strength, and it is not known whether she can bear the weight of a child in the water.

What's more, it was just an entry-level swimming skill. She had never obtained entry-level skills from the system before, and she didn't know whether the entry-level skills were reliable.

However, just seeing the word "entry", Su Ziyu didn't dare to gamble.

The moment Su Ziyu made her choice, a fist-sized object with a rubbery texture appeared in her hand—a little yellow duck?

Smart lifebuoy: After being thrown into the water, it can automatically identify drowning people and provide quick rescue.

Su Ziyu didn't dare to delay and threw the little yellow duck into the water.
