Starting by Winning the Sister-in-law's Best Friend Chapter 238: The Three-Year Deadline Has Arrived

Did a child fall into the river?

The creek that flows through the middle of Taohua Village is relatively gentle in the first half, but towards the village end, several small rivers converge, making the water rush more fiercely and deeper. Moreover, it just rained heavily a few days ago, so now it's in the flood season, allowing Li Chuan to catch so many small fish and shrimp.

The elentary school of Taohua Village is right at the end of the village!

It's precisely the ti when school lets out; isn't the child who fell into the river a student from the school?

Thinking of this, Li Chuan's heart couldn't help but tense up, hurriedly leaving the village committee and running towards the school!

Just as he ran near the school, Li Chuan saw a little boy standing on the stone arched bridge, loudly calling for help with a face full of panic!

And many villagers were also rushing towards that stone arched bridge.

Apparently, it was during school dismissal when a student fell into the river while crossing the stone arch bridge!

And this particular section happens to be the turbulent deep-water area!

As Li Chuan hurried over, he saw a figure rushing from the school towards the river!

No one else but Zhou Ruolan.

Because Li Chuan was relatively far from the stone arch bridge, Zhou Ruolan was closer, so she reached there first and jumped directly into the river!

Li Chuan also saw Chen Sisi rushing over; it took them about seven or eight seconds to reach the edge of the stone arch bridge.

The water in this section was extrely rapid; by the ti Li Chuan and Chen Sisi arrived, Zhou Ruolan was already out of sight.

"Who fell in?" Chen Sisi looked at the little boy who had just been loudly calling for help.

Chen Sisi recognized this little boy as a third-grade student at Taohua Village Elentary, nad Chen Xiaobing.

"Chen Xiaole fell in," Chen Xiaobing said.

Li Chuan: "Where did he fall in?"

Chen Xiaobing pointed to a spot on the shore, urgently saying, "There! Teacher Zhou jumped in to save him, but I can't see her anymore!"

Li Chuan asked no more questions, directly diving in.

Chen Sisi quickly followed, jumping into the river.

Because this section was deep and rapid, Li Chuan fumbled around in the water for quite a while but couldn't find Chen Xiaole or Zhou Ruolan.

Ti kept slipping by, Li Chuan still hadn't found Chen Xiaole and was getting anxious when suddenly his hand grabbed hold of soone. Turning to look at the figure, it was an adult!

Looking at the face, it was none other than Zhou Ruolan!

The one here to save people, so Li Chuan instinctively let go of her, signaling to search separately.

But at this mont, Zhou Ruolan grasped Li Chuan's arm, refusing to let go!

"What the hell! What's going on! Isn't this Zhou Ruolan here to save people? What does holding onto an?" Li Chuan was taken aback.

However, when he looked back again, he quickly noticed sothing was amiss; Zhou Ruolan was drowning too!

At this ti, Zhou Ruolan, like soone grabbing the last straw, was swiftly climbing onto Li Chuan like a water monkey, with her hands wrapping around his neck, and her feet entwining his waist.

This left Li Chuan unable to move, and for a mont, the two embraced, sinking towards the riverbed.

Li Chuan was speechless, damn it, if you're not good in water, just stay on the shore, jumping into the river to make a ss!

Being like a clay statue crossing a river, saving soone!

Li Chuan initially thought of pushing Zhou Ruolan away first, then dragging her to the shore, but Zhou Ruolan was clearly panicking now, clinging like a huge python, exerting trendous strength, tightly holding onto Li Chuan.

Li Chuan being entwined with Zhou Ruolan, even with Lingxi True Qi within, was useless, with both floating and sinking in the water, drifting towards the deeper downstream.

Li Chuan finally realized why so many who jumped into the water to save people never made it out; not to ntion the ordinary folks, even he was feeling overwheld!

Because at this mont, the strength of a drowning person is frightening!

Li Chuan wished to push away, but no matter how he tried, she wouldn't budge!

He felt Zhou Ruolan's pair of fullness silently pressing against his chest, realizing an idea suddenly. Simply, he reached to push her chest, hoping to make her aware of the situation right now.

But when Li Chuan reached out to move, he found Zhou Ruolan completely unresponsive.

Helpless, Li Chuan could only increase the pressure!

However, Zhou Ruolan remained unresponsive, binding Li Chuan even tighter!

Li Chuan: "..."

This wouldn't solve the problem, he looked at Zhou Ruolan's face, close at hand, her eyes closed tightly.

No, at this rate, he might survive, but this foolish woman might not.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan mobilized True Qi, directly wrapping Zhou Ruolan's lips with his, using his tongue to pry open her teeth, directly biting her tongue.

At this, Zhou Ruolan finally reacted, her body shivered, imdiately pushing Li Chuan away!

Li Chuan then flipped her body, kicking towards the surface.

Holding Zhou Ruolan from behind, his hand perfectly placed on her chest, that feeling, truly indescribable.

Struggling up to the surface, Li Chuan dragged Zhou Ruolan towards the shore.

Zhou Ruolan started taking deep breaths, the feeling of exhaustion over her body making her hardly able to speak.

At this mont, Li Chuan also saw many villagers standing on the shore, and Chen Sisi had already saved Chen Xiaole, carrying him on her shoulder, running back and forth, draining the water from his stomach.

Zhou Ruolan lay on the ground, gasping wildly, had it not been for Li Chuan, she certainly wouldn't have made it up.

Li Chuan also sat on the ground resting, inevitably thinking that saving people just now was even more exhausting than fighting.

At this mont, Chen Xiaobing said: "Everyone's up, but why hasn't my sister Chen Lu, who also went to save people, co up?"

"What? Lulu also jumped in?" Chen Sisi was startled upon hearing this, "Everyone, quickly jump in to save her!"

The nearby villagers looked at each other, none willing to jump in the river.

Seeing this, Li Chuan didn't say a word, jumping back into the river.

As for the surrounding villagers, they dared not to jump in, not just because the river water here was swift, but also because many had drowned in this river before!

Furthermore, the village holds a legend, saying there is a Water Ghost in the river!

Because of this Water Ghost, every three years, soone drowns in the river, a phenonon that no science can explain.

Overall, Taohua Village villagers believe there is a Water Ghost in the river.

Currently, it's precisely three years since the last drowning!

Upon reaching the third year, a student falls into the water, where in the world would there be such a coincidence?

Moreover, there's a very eerie phenonon: if soone rescues a drowning person, that rescuer won't live long either, invariably dying in bizarre ways for various reasons!
