Chapter 268 Original Sin 77
At the moment they fell into the water, the man’s first reaction was to lift his child out of the water with all his might. However, there was nowhere to gain leverage in the water, and his efforts were in vain; the family of three quickly sank into the water, helplessly floundering and struggling.
Seeing this, Yun Shuangshuang and the soldier couldn’t bother rowing the bamboo raft slowly; they immediately jumped into the water and swam over to save them!
The two of them were less than two hundred meters away from where the family of three had fallen into the water, and they reached there almost at the fastest speed possible. When Yun Shuangshuang and the soldier arrived, the woman among the family of three was already unconscious, while the man and the child, who was being held out of the water as much as possible, were still conscious.
Seeing Yun Shuangshuang swimming over, the man immediately handed his child over to the two of them, meaning for them to save his child first.
It was impossible to save all three people at once. To be honest, Yun Shuangshuang’s swimming skills were just passable; she definitely couldn’t carry two people by herself.
After thinking about it, Yun Shuangshuang pushed the unconscious woman toward the soldier beside her, signaling him to take her first. The soldier didn’t waste any time and immediately took the woman and swam toward the bamboo raft.
Yun Shuangshuang then took the child from the man’s hands and held the child in her arms. The child’s survival instinct kicked in, and the child immediately wrapped his arms and legs around Yun Shuangshuang.
The child was small, and Yun Shuangshuang avoided letting the little girl hold onto her neck, allowing her to hold onto her underarms instead. Although it was a bit cumbersome, Yun Shuangshuang, relying on her strength, didn’t mind the weight.
Then Yun Shuangshuang pushed the man toward the fallen tree, instructing him to hold onto the tree and wait for her to return. The man coughed and nodded to show he understood, then hugged the tree like a monkey with both arms and legs.
When the man fell into the water, he inevitably swallowed several mouthfuls of water. No matter if the water was clean or not and whether he might get sick from drinking it, at least his dehydrated body was instantly replenished, restoring some of his strength. At least he could hold onto the tree.
