Mo Lusu’s body tensed. He paid full attention to Shui Anluo’s every move.

Shui Anluo slowly moved forward but the tree trunk began to taper at the end and it was difficult for her to balance herself even in a sitting position. Furthermore, she had to contend with this all-consuming storm.

“Don’t be afraid, kid,” Shui Anluo reassured in a trembling voice.

“Doctor Shui, you can’t go any further.” Someone on the shore suddenly cried out because they heard the sound of the large tree breaking.

Shui Anluo stooped until she was almost in a straight line with the tree. Looks like the dance classes she had taken in her youth have finally come in handy. She then stretched her hand out with all her might to reach the child.

The heavy rain beat against Shui Anluo’s back with each stroke as painful as the last.

The little boy continued to cry but he had cried himself hoarse at this point.

“Don’t be scared, kid, I’ll get you back up very soon.” Shui Anluo tried her best to smile so the boy would no longer be scared.

The little boy trembled. His small arms were hugging the tree branch very tightly but it was obvious that he had exhausted his strength.

However, the distance from where she had stopped was a bit too far. Despite using all her strength, Shui Anluo was unable to reach his hand. She tried her best to move her body and crawl forward a little bit more but the cracking sound behind her sounded even clearer.

“Luoluo, stand there,” Mo Lusu cried out loudly. His voice was filled with terror.

Shui Anluo and the little boy’s body both slid down from to the tree snapping. Only when the large tree settled down did she smile.

“Senior Brother, I can’t stand, I can only lean.” Shui Anluo admired herself for being able to crack a joke at a time like this but she was finally able to reach the child now.

“Come closer kid, don’t be scared. Just keep reaching forward, come closer to me,” Shui Anluo said. In order to tie the rope around his body, she would need him to come a little closer. Only that would ensure absolute safety.

The little boy did not want to die and did his best to survive so his small hand slowly began to move.

“Yes, just like that, slowly.” Shui Anluo encouraged him. She inched the rope in her hand slowly at him until it was completely hooked around the child’s waist.

Shui Anluo heaved a sigh of relief. This way, even if the large tree were to break, he would not be washed away.

Shui Anluo slowly straightened up and reached out to hold the little boy’s hand. “Don’t be scared, come with me and let’s keep moving forward.”

Finally, under Shui Anluo’s leadership, the little boy slowly reached the shore. The large tree that had been cracking no longer showed any signs of breaking as Shui Anluo reached the shore and was pulled up by a military officer. Two military officers leaned down on the shore and grabbed the little boy’s arm to haul him up.

“Luoluo!” Mo Lusu saw her come back up and quickly grabbed her wrist. “Are you insane?”

Shui Anluo’s legs felt like jelly and Mo Lusu supported her. She turned around and looked at the little boy who had been saved and smiled. “But we managed to save him.”

“Thank you, Doctor Shui, truly,” the officer said as he watched Shui Anluo untie the rope. He then reached out to take it from her.

Shui Anluo’s smile was rather forced. She only managed to relax when she saw the boy being escorted away.

“I…” Shui Anluo wanted to say something but a stinging pain suddenly shot up from below her thigh. It felt as if something had hit her calf and she stumbled back unexpectedly. “Ah…” Shui Anluo could not stand properly and fell backward.

“Doctor Shui…”

“Luoluo…”
