Qingshancun Reservoir is actually very famous. Almost everyone who comes to visit here will take a look at the reservoir. The reservoir is very large, built along the mountains. At the edge of the reservoir, there is a flat area with a golden sandy beach, and in the middle of the reservoir, there is a small island. At first glance, it looks like a large lake.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!" The reservoir is well-protected, with very clear water. The weeping willows planted around the reservoir sway in the breeze, creating ripples on the water, giving a poetic and picturesque feeling. As soon as Zhao Xinxin arrived, she immediately fell in love with the place.
At this moment, there were quite a few people enjoying themselves around the reservoir. Some were sunbathing on the beach, some were fishing under the shade of trees, some were using small grills for a picnic, and others were rowing boats on the reservoir. There were even many people swimming in the reservoir.
"Huh? There are people swimming. What a pity, I didn't bring my swimming trunks." Looking at those swimming in the water, He Dong suddenly felt very envious. To be honest, he hadn't swum in such a natural environment for a long time.
"Master, you might come here often in the future. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of chances to swim here," Zhao Xinxin said with a smile.
"Bad, the boat has capsized, someone is drowning!" After hearing Zhao Xinxin's words, He Dong nodded, but suddenly his expression changed drastically.
Because with his exceptional eyesight, he clearly saw that about 500 meters away, a small boat had capsized, and the people on the boat had fallen into the water. Some of them clearly couldn't swim and were struggling desperately on the surface, and their cries for help could be faintly heard.
Seeing this situation, He Dong didn't hesitate. He kicked off his shoes and, without taking off his clothes, jumped into the reservoir and swam towards the accident site.
At the same time, several other people also swam towards the accident site. Among them were some people who were swimming in the reservoir and two lifeguards assigned by the village.
With the help of these people, the people who had fallen into the water were quickly rescued, and the capsized boat was also righted. At this moment, the rescued people were sitting on the boat and heading towards the shore.
"Oh no! Where's Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu is missing!" Just as everyone was still in shock, one of the rescued people suddenly shouted in panic.
"Bad, there's still one person missing?" This exclamation made the faces of the rescuers change, and they all began to dive into the water and search in different directions.
He Dong also chose a direction and dived into the water, activating the ability of his "Piercing Eye." As a result, his vision in the water was almost unobstructed, and he quickly saw a girl in a white dress with her eyes tightly closed, sinking towards the bottom of the reservoir along a gentle current. He Dong also noticed that the girl's ankle was entangled by some aquatic plants.
"I can't hold my breath any longer, I need to come up for air!" After discovering the sinking girl, He Dong was about to swim over to rescue her when a feeling of suffocation suddenly came over him. At this moment, He Dong realized that he had been underwater for several minutes and had already reached his limit.
Although saving a life is urgent and cannot be delayed, He Dong was very anxious seeing the girl continue to sink, but if he didn't come up for air, he would suffocate to death himself.
"If only I could breathe underwater or hold my breath longer!" He Dong prepared to surface while fantasizing.
"Wait! Hold my breath! Hold my breath! Turtle Breath! Turtle Breath! Oh, how could I forget this! Black玄Turtle, merge!" He Dong suddenly had an idea and immediately stopped floating to the surface.
Sure enough, once the Turtle Breath ability was activated, although He Dong still couldn't breathe in the water, the feeling of suffocation immediately disappeared, and he even felt no water pressure. He Dong felt as if he were a fish in water.
He Dong didn't expect the Turtle Breath to be so useful in the water. After the surprise, he quickly swam towards the girl who had already sunk to the bottom of the reservoir.
"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu!" He Dong didn't know that at this moment, the reservoir was in chaos, with the rescued people crying and shouting loudly.
"It's been more than ten minutes, and the last person hasn't been found. It's probably too late!"
"We must see the person alive or dead; we can't just let someone disappear like that!"
As time passed, while everyone was anxiously waiting, a ripple suddenly appeared on the water's surface, and then a figure suddenly emerged, clearly dragging someone.
"Found her!" The appearance of this figure immediately drew everyone's attention. The rescued people watched the figure's movements with tension, and Zhao Xinxin's face showed a joyful smile, as the figure was clearly He Dong.
"Faster! Faster! Even faster!" He Dong's speed was very fast, but even so, among the rescued people, a girl was still clenching her fists and praying non-stop.
"Move aside! Clear a space! She's not breathing, we need to perform first aid." He Dong was extremely anxious. As soon as he swam to the shore, he shouted loudly.
Although He Dong studied veterinary medicine, he still knew some basic drowning first aid. When he rescued the girl from the bottom of the reservoir, he could clearly feel that she had stopped breathing, and her heartbeat was slowing down. At this moment, artificial respiration was necessary.
So, without hesitation, he carried the girl to the shore, lifted her chin with one hand, pinched her nose with the other, took a deep breath, and blew into her mouth.
He Dong repeated this process, giving the girl about fifteen to sixteen breaths, and she suddenly started coughing and spitting out water from her mouth.
"Done! Done! She's saved!" The girl's reaction immediately made everyone who was watching cheer.
Xu Xiaoyu felt that today was really her unlucky day. She went out to play with her classmates during the holiday, and they encountered a boat capsizing. The most critical thing was that she was a typical "land duck," and after falling into the water, she quickly lost consciousness.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she first felt as if someone was kissing her, and she could faintly hear cheers in her ears. She tried hard to see what was happening, but at that moment, she felt as if all her strength had been drained, and she couldn't even move her little finger. Her bones felt soft, and her eyelids were as heavy as lead.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and managed to open her eyes a tiny bit. In that instant, a pair of bright and clear eyes left a deep impression on her.
