Although it was already March, the temperature in the north was still very cold.
The weather was still cold after the warmth.
Especially in the morning and evening, many places still needed to wear cotton clothes.
Not to mention the river water, it was absolutely freezing.
Qin Chuan rushed to the Fen River as quickly as possible and saw the Audi car sinking downwards. The icy river water poured into the car, and it seemed to be a family of three inside.
The man was slumped over the steering wheel, motionless, his life or death unknown. Scarlet bloodstains had already dyed the steering wheel red.
In the passenger seat, a woman was holding a girl of four or five years old. Mother and daughter were pale with fear, and both had fresh blood on their foreheads, clearly injured.
The woman kept pushing her husband, whose life was uncertain, on the steering wheel. As for the little girl, she had already been scared to tears, her small hands flailing in the air.
"We must save the child first!"
Seeing the situation in the car, a firm thought immediately arose in Qin Chuan's mind.
Then, without hesitation, he plunged into the river with a "plop." The icy river water penetrated his pores to his bones, chilling him so much that he couldn't help but shiver.
But in the face of the current situation, the cold was nothing. Nothing else mattered!
Qin Chuan quickly swam to the Audi, trying to pull the car door open. However, due to the strong pressure, the Audi's door seemed welded shut and couldn't be opened at all, or perhaps it was locked from the inside.
Icy river water continuously poured into the car, reaching the seats.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan forcefully banged on the car window, hoping the woman inside would cooperate.
Finally, the sound of him hitting the window caught the little girl's attention. She cried out "Mommy," drawing the woman's attention away from her husband and allowing her to notice Qin Chuan anxiously banging on the window.
Two glints of light flashed in the woman's panicked eyes, and she quickly reached out and opened the electronic lock.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan outside let out a low roar and exerted almost all his strength, finally managing to open the car door.
RUMBLE!!!
The moment the car door opened, the surrounding icy river water surged into the car. In the blink of an eye, it rose by more than a foot, and the Audi's sinking speed rapidly increased.
"Warrior, save my daughter first!"
"Thank you!!"
The woman used all her strength to lift her daughter, who was in her arms. As she spoke, the river water had already reached her mouth and nose. She accidentally swallowed several mouthfuls, coughing violently.
"Hold on, I'll be back to save you!"
Qin Chuan took the little girl and immediately swam towards the shore at the fastest speed.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered on the riverbank, all of whom had run down the steep slope from the road. However, most of them were afraid of the icy river water, or couldn't swim, and thus dared not enter the river.
After all, the Fen River was very deep, and with such a low water temperature, a cramp could easily put oneself in danger.
However, seeing Qin Chuan bravely risking his life to save people, they all cheered him on, which made them feel a little better about their conscience.
"Kid, you're amazing!!"
"Brave man, keep going!! We're proud of you!!"
"Does anyone have a rope? Hurry and bring it out to help!"
Chaotic voices rose and fell from the shore.
"Third brother, quickly hand the little girl over to me!"
At this moment, Qin Gang had also taken off his clothes and entered the water, wearing only shorts, and was quickly approaching Qin Chuan.
He couldn't stand by and watch his younger brother risk his life to save someone while he did nothing.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan unhesitatingly handed the little girl, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, to Qin Gang. Then, without another word, he turned and swam back towards the Audi.
Because in this short less than a minute, the Audi had already been submerged, with only the roof remaining visible.
"Third brother, be careful, don't push yourself!"
Qin Gang shouted.
Qin Chuan heard him but had no time to respond. He dove underwater, transforming into a big fish, and quickly approached the slowly sinking Audi.
He could already see that the woman in the car had fainted and was motionless. As for the man, it was even worse. There were murky bloodstains all around. It was unclear where he was injured, but blood was constantly flowing out, dyeing the water in the car red.
Qin Chuan's eyes twitched. The man was probably beyond saving, but he would save whoever he could. The woman still had a glimmer of hope.
So, he temporarily ignored the man and focused on rescuing the woman.
He struggled to pull the woman's body out of her seat. During this process, Qin Chuan felt his lungs were about to explode, and his head was spinning. It was clear that he himself was also reaching his limit.
However, with sheer willpower, he dragged the woman out of the river, gasping for air.
After catching his breath, he struggled to swim towards the shore.
"Wow, another one saved!"
"Young man, you're a hero!!"
On the shore, there was warm applause. Everyone applauded Qin Chuan's heroic deeds. No matter when, such actions would always earn the respect of others.
"Is there a doctor? Hurry and save her!"
Seeing the woman in Qin Chuan's arms who had fainted, a kind-hearted citizen on the shore shouted.
"Emergency services have already been called, and the doctors are on their way!"
"Mommy!! Mommy!!!"
"I want Mommy!!"
On the riverbank, the little girl held in Qin Gang's arms saw her mother lying on the ground, pale and unconscious, and cried out loudly.
Those clear childish voices were heartbreaking, because if anything went wrong, this poor little girl might lose her parents and become an orphan.
"The ambulance doesn't know when it will arrive, it's too late for anything!"
"We must hurry and take emergency measures first!"
Qin Chuan looked at the woman he had just rescued, hesitated for a moment, and then began emergency resuscitation.
He first pressed her chest, and after several compressions, he began artificial respiration. He repeated this process. Everyone around watched intently. The noisy chatter disappeared, leaving only a dead silence.
Everyone was hoping for a miracle. If the woman didn't wake up, all efforts would be in vain.
Time ticked by. Just as many people were starting to despair, suddenly, the woman lying on the ground coughed up several large mouthfuls of river water, and her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
"She's awake!!"
"She's awake!!"
"She's really back!!"
"Young man, you're amazing!"
Cheers erupted, and everyone was overjoyed, having witnessed a miracle.
Seeing the woman wake up, Qin Chuan was exhausted. He slumped to the ground, panting heavily.
"Niuniu!"
"Niuniu, where are you?"
After regaining consciousness, the woman's first priority was to find her daughter.
Qin Gang, who was nearby, quickly handed the little girl in his arms over. "This is your child, she is safe!"
"Mommy!!"
The little girl also cried out, sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing her child safe, the woman opened her arms and hugged her daughter tightly, crying uncontrollably.
After a long time, the woman finally calmed her emotions. She suddenly remembered that her husband had not been rescued yet.
"Benefactor, my husband is still inside, could I trouble you..."
The woman's words were unfinished, but her meaning was clear.
