Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: Saving People by the River 4

"You little brat, after your auntie saved your life, is that all you have to say?"

If it weren’t for the boy’s weak breath and pallid face just after waking up, Wang Dachun really wanted to smack him across the face.

So dangerous, the river is so deep. He shouldn’t have run here.

Wang Haiping, who had stumbled and scrambled to get there, finally arrived at the scene of her son’s accident. Seeing that her son had opened his eyes, and although he looked like a piglet that had been rolling in a mud pit, he was alive and not lying motionless waiting for her. Wang Haiping’s heart suddenly felt relieved, her legs became weak as if filled with vinegar, and she collapsed to the ground, sobbing loudly.

Everyone understood her feelings and tried to comfort her, "He’s alive, he’s alive, he has been saved. Stop crying!"

"Yes, from now on, you must keep a closer eye on your child. With the river so high, how could you let him play alone by the water?"

"It’s really fortunate that Qingxue was at home."

"The main thing is that she arrived in time. Last year by this time, Wang Chengjun’s little rascal had passed away because they couldn’t save him."

Hearing such words, after Wang Haiping had cried, she crawled to her son’s side and raised her hand, wanting to hit him.

"You little brat, you little brat! How many times have I told you not to go to the riverbank, not to go to the riverbank? Why didn’t you listen? Why didn’t you listen?" Wang Haiping cried breathlessly.

Wang Dachun stopped her, "Haiping, don’t hurt him. Wait until he’s better, and then you can hit him all you want!"

After hearing this, Wang Haiping lowered her hand.

"Thank you, big brother. If you hadn’t found the kid and pulled him out, I wouldn’t have been able to find him anywhere!" Wang Haiping, covered in mud and muck, had her face smeared as well. Tears washed away two trails of grime. "Thank you, Qingxue, thank you, thank you, thank you for arriving just in time to save his little life!"

Guan Cheng, who had followed Feng Qingxue shortly after, had already been informed by the onlookers about where Wang Xiaoguang had been rescued.

Everybody knew that fishing upstream could yield a bountiful catch, but since they all lived near the downstream area, they usually fished in the middle stream because it was close to home and the water was calmer, suitable for setting fish baskets. Only after the rain stopped did they go upstream one by one or in pairs. Wang Dachun was among the first to arrive, and as soon as he entered the water, he found Wang Xiaoguang blocked by rocks.

When Wang Xiaoguang arrived and when he fell into the water, nobody knew.

Wang Dachun was rescuing his nephew while calling for someone to find Feng Qingxue. The person looking for Feng Qingxue happened to meet Wang Haiping, who was searching for her son. Eventually, it was Wang Haiping who desperately ran to find her husband’s cousin.

In her eagerness to save her son, Wang Haiping ran faster than she ever had before.

Luckily so, because her quick action and Feng Qingxue’s timely arrival barely managed to save Wang Xiaoguang’s life.

"Second Cousin-in-law, you have to thank Xibao too," Guan Cheng couldn’t help but say, "Those rocks were piled up by us. We came upstream early to catch fish and piled some rocks, leaving only a gap for the net. We planned to remove them when leaving, but Xibao didn’t let us remove them. If those rocks hadn’t been there to stop him, Xiaoguang would have definitely been swept downstream!" How could Wang Dachun have had the chance to find him then?

Stunned, Wang Haiping nodded desperately, "Yes, yes, we do have to thank Xibao, we do have to thank him!"

Their gratitude was genuinely expressed. That evening, Wang Haiping along with Wang Zhengguo and Wang Daxia personally came over, bringing a couple of grass carp and two black fish that Wang Daxia had caught that day. They also brought a basketful of chicken, duck, and goose eggs. Their home stashed didn’t amount to a full basket, so they especially ran to a brother’s home to get enough to fill the basket.
