The old woman's crying on the distant shore was so sad that it made them feel upset.

"I'll go, I can swim." Qingzhu said again.

"No," several people said in unison.

"Sister Qingzhu, that's too dangerous. Uncle San is injured. How can you go down?" Guo Xinming said in a slightly slower tone as he persuaded her.

Qingzhu sighed and said, "We can't delay the child any longer. You all can't swim, so you're just asking for death. I can swim, and I've been learning martial arts from Uncle Qi for a few months. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, you can just pull me up."

The few of them were unwilling to comply. Qingzhu looked at them and pleaded, "The child is dying? You can't swim, and yet you're trying to stop me. I know you're worried about me, but please let me try?"

"Let Qingzhu go," Yu San said, and no one said much.

He just pursed his lips and frowned as he tied the rope for her. Before Qingzhu went into the water, Yu Jinan stared at her and said, "Be careful."

Qingzhu gave him a firm smile and turned away.

She observed the terrain in several places and did not go into the water directly. Instead, she moved carefully along the slope. Because she was small and light, the slope could withstand her force, so even if there was mud and rocks sliding, it was not a big problem.

When he got closer to the child, Qingzhu tried to call out a few times. Seeing that the child was still conscious, he went into the water and swam towards that place while talking to him.

The water was so fast that she had a hard time swimming. When she finally got close, she found that the child was stuck too tightly and the broken tree had a larger side stuck in the mountain, so she couldn't push it away.

"Qingzhu, be careful, be careful behind you." Several loud shouts came from the shore. Qingzhu looked back in a daze and saw a large piece of mud and rock loose on the shore rolling into the water. They were close to it and were pushed into the water.

"Hurry up, pull up, pull her up quickly." The people on the shore were extremely anxious.

Everyone on the shore was in a panic and a little uneasy. Yu Jinan and Guo Xinming's hands were shaking. This was the first time they faced life and death, and it was also the first time they watched familiar people go through danger in front of them.

"Don't~don't pull" Qingzhu's voice came from the water.

Yu Jinan cried and laughed when he heard this: "Qingzhu is fine, Qingzhu is fine."

This impact did loosen the tree trunk, and Qing Ning stopped pushing.

"Kid, wake up, I'm here to save you. If you want to survive and see grandma, wake up." Qingzhu patted the child, trying to make him wake up.

The child slowly opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him, and cried, "Sister, are you here to save Xiaoyuer?"

Qingzhu nodded: "Xiaoyu'er, sister is here to save you, can you swim?"

Xiao Yuer nodded ignorantly: "Yes"

"Okay, sister, push the trunk a little looser. The inside is already a little loose. When there is a hole, grab my hand immediately."

Qingzhu instructed Xiaoyuer one by one, fearing that he would be washed away by the water if he didn't hurry. Xiaoyuer nodded.

Qingzhu swam to the side and used all his strength to push the trunk: "Sister, I can move."

Qingzhu heard the voice and said, "Xiaoyu'er, try to hold on to this tree trunk and swim towards this direction. Do you understand? Don't let go."

Xiao Yuer nodded, stepped on the water, and walked towards Qingzhu, holding the tree trunk with his hands. When he was almost there, Qingzhu grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the trap.

"Xiao Yu'er, hold on to your sister tight and don't let go." Qingzhu said, and walked forward again, wrapping the rope around Xiao Yu'er.

He shouted to the shore: "Pull us up!"

The people on the shore heard the shouting and pulled with all their strength. The two people in the river were already exhausted, but they held on to the rope tightly and did not dare to let go. The current made them sink and float continuously.

After finally pulling the two up, Xuan Li quickly examined Xiao Yu'er. Fortunately, he was alright, having simply been soaking in the water for too long, catching a cold and getting a small fright. With some medicine and some rest, he was fine. He arranged for someone to take the grandparents and grandchildren to the shed. The old woman looked at her frail grandson with eyes filled with pity, and she kept thanking him.

Yu Jinan took off his coat and wrapped it around Qingzhu, then put a straw raincoat on her. Seeing that she was shivering from the cold and her lips were blue and purple, he hurried to send her back.

"I'm fine, second brother Yu, let's keep going forward. There must be more villagers waiting to be rescued." Qingzhu comforted softly, thinking about the villagers in his heart.

"You go back and rest, we will go to rescue people." Yu Jinan's face looked a little ugly, and he insisted on letting her go back.

Guo Xinming also said: "Yes, you go back and rest, we will go to rescue people."

Qingzhu glanced at them, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yu San knew they were frightened just now, so he advised, "Qingzhu, listen to Erlang. They were really frightened by you just now. You're damp and prone to catching a cold. If you get sick, you'll need someone to take care of you. Staff are tight right now, and you're a girl, which is a lot of trouble. I know you care about the villagers. Don't worry, your Uncle Shi and Uncle Qi are all saving people. If you take care of yourself, you can help a lot. Xuanli can't handle it all by himself."

After hearing this, Qingzhu did not insist. He asked them to be more careful and walked back.

"Wait a minute," Yu Jinan hurriedly called her, walked up to her and lifted up her trouser leg, and saw blood flowing from her calf. This action made Qingzhu tremble all over and her face turned red with shame.

What's wrong with this guy? How can he be so rude? Even though she's not even of marriageable age yet, he shouldn't be so rude as to lift her trouser legs without permission.

"Yu Jinan, what are you doing?" Qingzhu gritted his teeth and called him by his name in an angry voice.

When Yu Jinan saw the blood at her feet, he knew that she was injured. She did such a rash thing in a hurry. He was really anxious and it was not intentional.

"I~I~I~Sister Qingzhu, don't be angry. I just saw the blood on your feet and was worried that you were injured, so I was so reckless in a hurry. I didn't mean to offend you." Yu Jinan explained hurriedly, at a loss.

Qingzhu finally reacted and looked at her feet, fearing that she had been scratched by falling rocks in the water. She had been so focused that she hadn't noticed the pain. Now that she saw it, she knew he hadn't meant it, but she was still a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Xuan Li approached and wanted to treat her wound, but Qing Zhu said, "Uncle Xuan Li, there's no need. I can do it myself. You guys go save the other person. I can handle this minor injury."

Xuan Li was worried, so he took her pulse. He was relieved to see that there was no serious problem.

"Erlang, you send Qingzhu back later, and we will continue to rescue people." Yu San made arrangements and took a few people inside.

Seeing this, Qingzhu handed them the medicine box she brought with her, leaving only a bottle of hemostatic medicine for treating external injuries.

Yu Jinan helped Qingzhu find a rock to sit on, took out some medicine, and Qingzhu cleaned the wound herself. Seeing her clench her teeth and remain silent despite such a large wound, Yu Jinan really admired her.

After treating the wound and applying some medicine, Qingzhu tore off a piece of clothing to bandage it, then stood up and limped back with Yu Jinan's support. When Qingzhu gasped for the third time, Yu Jinan carried her on his back.

"Brother Yu, put me down and I can walk." Qingzhu was a little frightened.

"Okay, stop being stubborn. You are still a little girl. I won't laugh at you even if you cry." Yu Jinan said softly.

Qingzhu muttered, "I won't cry."

Yu Jinan smiled and didn't respond. He carried her on his back and walked forward carefully.
