"Help, help me …"

Qi Mu dove head first into the water and swam a few meters forward in one breath. As he passed by the boy who was drowning with Yang Yang, he heard vague but clear cries for help. Qi Mu turned his face to the side and looked at the boy who was desperately flopping in the water.

The river flowed past his waist, and the sun seemed to be frightened. He did not struggle, but quietly sat there, motionless, his tears flowing freely down his face – the boat was about to sink.

In a split-second, Qi Mu bit her lips and made a decision. Nothing was more important than her little brother. Ignoring the icy cold waters of the river, Qi Mu dived into the water, rushing straight towards Yang Yang.

It just so happened that the boat had completely submerged into the water and Yang Yang was about to lose his' protection '. Qi Mu swam behind Yang Yang Yang, and suddenly tightly hugged him.

He stretched out a hand, grabbed hold of Yang's chin, and turned Yang Yang back so that the river wouldn't choke him, so that Yang's weight was suddenly all over Qi Mou's thin body. Qi Mou kicked at the water with both feet, trying to keep his balance so that he wouldn't be dragged into the water by Yang Yang's struggling body.

The river at Niuzhuang was actually not very swift, but if one was in the middle of the river, it should be a different matter.

"Yang Yang, Yang Yang, I'm your big sister, I'm your big sister. Don't be afraid, don't move, big sister will take you back …"

Qi Mu looked around at the seemingly endless river, suppressing the worry and unease in her heart. She tried to communicate with Yang Yang, repeating the same words over and over again.

If Yang Yang didn't cooperate and didn't relax, she really wouldn't have the strength to maintain her current condition. The worst possible outcome would be that both of them would drown in the water.

After a few breaths of time, Yang Yang seemed to finally hear Qi Mu's voice. He turned around and glanced at Qi Mu, his large eyes filled with tears. Yang Yang slowly stopped struggling, and even though Qi Mu was hugging him, he suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing this, Qi Mu relaxed a little and stopped comforting Yang Yang. She took a deep breath and gathered her strength before bringing Yang Yang along to swim towards the shore.

A moment later.

"Big sister, big sister …"

When the lass on the shore saw that Qi Mu had rescued Yang Yang from the river, she quickly let go of Little Yiran and quickly walked down the river. The river water had wet the hem of her dress.

Water droplets dripped from her hair and dripped onto the surface of the river, causing layer after layer of ripples to appear. She panted heavily, her entire body was drenched, and her coarse clothes stuck to her undeveloped body made her appear even thinner, just like a paper man. A cold wind blew and Qi Mu couldn't help but shiver.

Qi Mu pursed his pale lips and trembled as he looked at Yang Yang, who was wailing on top of the little girl. He slowly raised a faint smile as a teardrop unknowingly fell from the corner of his eyes.

Yang Yang, it's a good thing that you're fine. This really is — the best thing that can happen.

After pausing for a moment, Qi Mu resolutely turned around. Regardless of her gradually stiffening body, she once again walked towards the ice-cold river water.

There was one more child, not yet saved.

"..."

In the river.

"Let go, let go …"

Qi Mu tried his best to pry open the arm that the man was tugging at with all his might, but he couldn't. After all, the man wasn't much younger than her.

The moment that boy touched her, he became like an octopus and reflexively stuck to her body. She was unable to move freely, so she was forced to take one sip after another of the brackish river. Dazed, her hands and feet gradually weakened as she slowly sank into the water with the boy.

Ah!

Qi Mu suddenly screamed and a sharp pain came from her shoulder. She looked helplessly at the boy above her. He actually stepped on her foot and used it to float to the surface of the water once again.

A hint of a smile appeared on Qi Mu's lips. He was filled with despair, like a cold ashes that were slowly being crushed. His humanity was so cold and heartless? She clearly came to save him!

Qi Mu closed her eyes. She was a little tired. She originally didn't have any strength left. This time, she didn't want to force herself …

"Mu Er, you're awake?"

"Mu Er, where did you go?"

"My daughter is good!"

"Big sister, I want to eat candied fruits."

"Mu Er, eat more."

"..."

It was mother, it was Yang Yang, it was father. She still had a younger sister. She, Ye Qimu, was not alone!

They were still waiting for her to come home.

She couldn't be here. She had to go back.

She had to go back. There were many things she had yet to do, many things she wanted to do. She wanted to reincarnate for nothing. If she did not live an exciting life, she could live up to the love of the heavens this time!

Qi Mu opened his eyes. His pitch-black pupils were filled with a strong sense of resolution. His will to survive for the first time was this strong. It was far stronger than the time when she knew the plane she was on was about to crash.

Perhaps, in this life, there was a connection between the heart and will that allowed him to live a life that defied the heavens!

All of her potential was triggered. Qi Mu gritted his teeth as he recalled the drowning method his teacher taught her when she was learning to swim.

Qi Mu pursed her lips and decisively reached out to untie her belt. She took off her outer robe that was incredibly heavy from being soaked in water, leaving only a pink undergarment and a white underpants. Afterwards, she held her body together and slowly floated to the surface of the water using the original buoyancy of the water.

After breathing in the fresh air for the first time, Qi Mu's eyes widened slightly. The clear blue sky was surprisingly beautiful. Even the white clouds seemed more adorable than usual. Qi Mu smiled again, and a glimmer appeared in his eyes.

She was dead!

Qi Mu raised his head and took a deep breath. He moved his hands and feet rhythmically, as if he had just learned how to swim backward. He thought to himself that if he could swim backward, she would be able to reach the shore in a short while.

Unexpectedly, the boy grabbed her leg and pulled her back. Seeing that, the boy was about to get on his butt again, Qi Mu's expression slightly changed. He got up and kicked him without hesitation, neither light nor heavy, and just happened to kick the boy's hand away.

At the same time, it also increased the distance between the two of them. Qi Mu was closer to the shore, but the boy was further away. With this kick, Qi Mu was afraid of changing again, so she quickly swam to the shore.

If she did it again, she might really turn into a water ghost.

When Qi Mu landed on the riverbank, he was exhausted and fell to the ground. As it happened, when the little girl saw Qi Mu's empty back, she was stunned for a moment. She was so surprised that her mouth was wide open. In broad daylight, there was really bad customs!

Fortunately, there weren't any adult males present. The Great God, who was washing clothes beside him, also had good intentions. He immediately put on a new set of clothes for Qi Mu. Although it was wet, it was still better than nothing.

As for the little girl, she brought Qi Mu with her two sister-in-law. She was half-hugging Qi Mu. When she saw Qi Mu's pale face, she was so anxious that she started blaming herself.

"..."

After Qi Mu landed on the shore with great difficulty, he heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned comfortably against the little girl's thigh like a dead fish. However, he was still in a trance when he heard this sentence:

Ah!" "My son …
