Chapter Fifty-Seven: Rescue

  Qingshan Village Reservoir is actually very famous, and almost everyone who comes here to play will come to see this reservoir. The reservoir is very large, built on the mountain, with a flat area along the edge of the reservoir that has a golden sandy beach. In the middle of the reservoir, there is also a small island, which at first glance looks like a big lake.

  "Ah, so beautiful!" The reservoir is well protected and the water is particularly clear. With the weeping willows planted around it, the gentle breeze blows, creating ripples on the surface of the water, giving a poetic and picturesque feeling. As soon as Zhao Xinxin arrived here, she immediately fell in love with it.

  At this time, there were many people playing around the reservoir. Some were sunbathing on the beach, some were fishing under the shade of trees, others were fiddling with small stoves for a picnic, and some were rowing boats in the reservoir, and even more people were swimming in the reservoir.

  "Huh? There's even a swimming area. What a pity, I didn't bring my swimsuit." Looking at those people swimming in the water, He Dong suddenly felt envious. To think of it, he hadn't gone swimming in such a natural environment for a long time.

  "Master, from now on you might often come here, and won't have the chance to swim here?" Zhao Xinxin said with a smile.

  "Not good, the boat has capsized and someone is drowning!" Upon hearing Zhao Xinxin's words, He Dong first nodded, but suddenly his face changed drastically.

  Due to his superhuman eyesight, he clearly saw that on the water surface about 500 meters away from him, a small boat had capsized and people on it had fallen into the water. Among them, several were obviously unable to swim and were desperately struggling on the water surface, and their cries for help could still be faintly heard.

  Seeing this situation, He Dong didn't think twice and kicked off the leather shoes on his feet. Without even taking off his clothes, he jumped into the reservoir and swam towards the scene of the accident.

  At the same time, several people also swam towards the scene of the accident. Among them were a few who were swimming in the reservoir and two lifeguards arranged by the village.

  With the help of these people, not only were those who had fallen into the water rescued, but even the overturned boat was turned over again. At this time, those who had fallen into the water were sitting on the boat and heading towards the shore.

  "Oh no! Where's Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu is gone!" But just as everyone was still in shock, a drowning person suddenly shouted out in panic.

  "Still another one?!" The shout made the faces of those rescuers change at once, then everyone reluctantly dived into the water again and started searching around.

  He Dong chose a direction and dove into the water, using his Breaking Eye ability at the same time. As a result, his vision in the water was almost unobstructed, so he quickly saw a girl wearing a white dress, her eyes tightly closed, slowly sinking to the bottom of the reservoir with a slow current, and He Dong also noticed that the girl's ankle was entwined with some aquatic plants.

  "No way, I have to go up and change the air!" After discovering the sinking girl, He Dong was about to swim over to rescue her when he suddenly felt a suffocating feeling. It wasn't until then that He Dong realized he had been underwater for several minutes and had already reached his limit.

  Although saving people is like fighting a fire, not a single moment can be delayed. Looking at the girl who continued to sink, He Dong's heart was also extremely anxious at this time. However, if he didn't go up to breathe again, let alone save others, he himself would suffocate to death.

  "If only I could breathe underwater or hold my breath for longer!" He Dong thought to himself as he prepared to surface.

  "Wait! Suffocating! Suffocating! Turtle's breath! Turtle's breath! Ah, how could I have forgotten this! Black mysterious turtle, merge bodies!" He Dong suddenly had an epiphany and stopped floating on the water's surface.

  As expected, the turtle's ability was applied, and although He Dong still couldn't breathe in the water, the feeling of suffocation immediately disappeared, and even the water pressure felt gone, as if he had a fish-like experience.

  He Dong did not think that the turtle hiding in the water would have such a great use, and after being surprised, he quickly swam towards the girl who had already sunk to the bottom of the water.

  "Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu!" He Dong didn't know that at this time, the reservoir had become chaotic, and several people who had fallen into the water were loudly crying out for help.

  "It's been over ten minutes now, and the last person who fell into the water still hasn't been found. I'm afraid it's unlikely they'll survive!"

  "When a person is alive, you should see them; when they're dead, you should see their body. You can't just say someone's gone and that's it!"

  As time slowly passed, amidst the anxious waiting of the crowd, a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and then a figure emerged, apparently dragging someone along.

  "Found it!" As soon as the figure appeared, it caught everyone's attention. The people who had fallen into the water were all staring nervously at the figure's movements, and Zhao Xinxin's face was filled with a joyful smile, because the figure was none other than He Dong.

  "Faster! Faster! Even faster!" He Dong's speed was extremely fast, but even so, among those who had been awakened by the fallen water, there was still a girl with her fists clenched and praying incessantly.

  "Get out of the way! Make some space! She's not breathing, we need to give her CPR!" He Dong's anxiety was at an all-time high as he swam to the shore and yelled loudly.

  Although He Dong studied veterinary medicine, he still understood some basic knowledge of drowning first aid. When he rescued the girl from the water bottom, he could clearly feel that the girl had stopped breathing and her heartbeat was getting slower and slower. At this time, artificial respiration must be performed.

  So he didn't hesitate, after carrying the girl to the shore, one hand supporting her chin and the other pinching her nostrils, then took a deep breath and blew it into the girl's mouth.

  He Dong repeatedly gave the girl CPR for fifteen or sixteen times, and suddenly she started coughing violently and began spitting out water from her mouth.

  "Alright! Alright! Help has arrived!" The girl's reaction instantly caused everyone who was paying attention to them to cheer.

  Xu Xiaoyu felt that she was really unlucky today. She had gone out to play with her classmates on their day off, and unexpectedly encountered a capsizing incident. Moreover, the most critical thing was that she was a typical land duck, and after falling into the water, she quickly lost consciousness.

  Nor did she know how long it took, but first she felt as if someone was kissing her, and then faint laughter echoed in her ears. She tried to see what was happening, but at this time, she felt that all her strength had been drained away, without even the power to move a little finger, and her bones seemed to have softened, even her eyelids were like lead, heavy beyond measure.

  At last, she gritted her teeth and managed to open her eyes a small slit, and in that instant, a pair of bright and clear eyes were firmly etched in her mind.
