Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

With a "plop" sound, Shen Yu fell into the water, and his mouth and nose were instantly submerged.

Following her instincts, Shen Yu immediately held her breath and swam to the surface.

Shen Yu vaguely saw a figure in a floral short-sleeved shirt disappear around the corner of the dilapidated house. She frowned and remembered the person.

The 250 in his mind urged anxiously: [Quickly save His Highness! He can't swim, he's sinking!]

Shen Yu looked to the other side and saw only a string of bubbles on the surface of the pool. He quickly swam over, grabbed the hand that was sinking, and pulled it up with all his might.

Akahoshi's long hair was plastered to her face, and her eyes were closed; she was clearly unconscious.

At that moment, someone on the shore shouted, "Someone has fallen into the water! Someone has fallen into the water! Help!"

And people came running from some unknown direction, all dressed simply, some carrying hoes and winnowing baskets on their shoulders.

Shen Yu felt her body was about to collapse, but she gritted her teeth and swam towards the shore with Chi Xing.

Explanation 250: [Someone pushed you into the water just now; His Highness did it to save you.]

"Oh, isn't this the young man from the Shen family?"

Someone helped pull Chi Xing up, while another middle-aged man helped Shen Yu up.

"Oh dear, what's going on? The little boy isn't breathing! What are we going to do?" A woman was extremely anxious.

Some people say, "If someone is drowning, you should perform artificial respiration."

"Yes, yes, who knows how to perform CPR?"

The elderly people around looked at each other; they had only seen it on TV and had never actually seen it in real life.

Shen Yu stumbled over and began performing CPR and artificial respiration on Chi Xing. She pressed on his chest thirty times and then pinched his nose and blew air into his mouth twice.

The operation continued without interruption; some people evacuated the surrounding villagers, while others went to notify the village chief.

After all these years, Akahoshi has been looked after by the village chief's family.

When the village chief arrived, he saw Chixing lying lifeless on the ground, his face pale. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell over.

Fortunately, others were there to support him: "Village chief, the Shen family's son is giving him CPR, don't panic."

"Hey, did anyone see what happened?" the old village chief sighed anxiously.

Someone spoke up: "I just came back from hoeing the fields in Shangzhuling when I ran into Shen Dacheng in a panic. He said that Chixing had pushed Shen Yu into the fishpond, so I rushed over."

The village chief frowned: "That's impossible. The Chi family boy may be a little simple-minded, but he wouldn't harm anyone."

Another middle-aged man said, "I came over when I heard Granny Chen shouting for help, but I didn't see clearly."

Grandma Chen looked flustered: "I don't know either. I was picking green beans when I turned around and saw someone splashing around in the fishpond."

"I didn't see who pushed whom."

Before a conclusion could be reached on this side, several coughs were heard on the other side.

"He's reacting! He's vomiting water!" someone shouted.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, half-hugging Chi Xing and gently patting his back to help him spit out the water.

Chi Xing coughed so hard it was heart-wrenching, and collapsed into Shen Yu's arms.

He opened his eyes and stared at Shen Yu. Shen Yu patted his back and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Then he saw Akahoshi gripping his arm tightly, as if afraid that he would leave.

When the village chief saw that the person was awake, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, it's good that you're alright."

Then, with slightly cloudy eyes, he looked at Shen Yu with gratitude: "Thanks to you, kid. Quick, go back and change your clothes. It's still a bit chilly in early summer."

They called for a few people to help the two of them back.

Arriving at a dilapidated mud-brick house, Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat, and then she heard someone say:

"Shen, you should go back first. We'll take Chixing home."

Shen Yu: ...

250 started suppressing a laugh again: [Immortal Lord, is this your home?]

Shen Yu: ?

This is absolutely the most spectacular house he has ever seen.

If he wasn't mistaken, the side wall of the house already had cracks, and it might collapse the next time it rained.

The roof was very low, and the tiles on it were all broken.

Shen Yu felt a gripping sensation on his arm and realized that Chi Xing was still holding onto his arm.

"I won't leave, I want to stay with my brother." Her voice was hoarse from choking on water, and her face was pale, but she held onto Shen Yu's hand tightly and refused to let go.

The others were helpless, and the village chief said to Shen Yu with some guilt:

"Shen boy, Chixing is just a child at heart. He's probably scared after falling into the water. Could you stay with him for a while?"
