Chapter 47: No Better Time to Throw Her Aside
To be honest, she had hoped that some of the villagers who knew how to swim would come with her. However, she quickly gave up on that. The men here were not as generous and open-minded as many of the women were. It was extremely difficult to assign tasks to them.
“You—”
The woman was furious.
“Sister Ling, we’re already lucky enough to be saved by this lady. Let’s wait a little longer. There might be other people who need to be rescued.” The young lady named Yan Yan spoke up for An Jiuyue.
She felt that it was much better to be sitting in the raft than immersed in the water. Although they were cold now, they could at least start a fire at noon.
“Other people who need to be rescued? If they’re dead, so be it! Bring us to the mountain immediately, you b*tch! Otherwise, I’ll kill you when the floodwaters subside!” Sister Ling did not take Yan Yan’s words to heart and shouted at An Jiuyue.
An Jiuyue was silent.
Are people these days so ungrateful?
“I can promise you that if you say another word, I’ll leave you in the water. What do you think?”
An Jiuyue spoke gently, but anyone could discern that it was a threat.
In fact, she was fully capable of doing such a thing.
“That’s right, that’s right! Master, hurry up and throw this difficult person back into the water! She is an ingrate! She might even back-stab you in the future,” Wei Na persuaded hurriedly.
It had seen this happen too many times in the past. Saving ungrateful people like her would only invite trouble!
There was no better time to throw her aside.
“Cut the crap. I will earn lesser points if I throw her overboard,” An Jiuyue snapped.
I can earn 10 points for every person I rescue. Earning points is the most important thing now. I can always deal with people like her in the future.
“Xue Ling is just a little hot-tempered. She means no harm. Please forgive her, Miss.”
The man had a firm expression and spoke gently to An Jiuyue, as colors slowly returned to his cheeks. However, his gaze turned cold as he glanced at Xue Ling. It frightened her, and her body shook with fear. She kept quiet immediately.
And as if that was not enough, she also clamped a hand over her mouth.
An Jiuyue did not reply, her beautiful eyes fixed on the water, observing every movement.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a child crying in the distance. She turned her head slightly and stopped rowing as she listened carefully.
Before she could make out where the sound came from, the man beside her pointed it out to her accurately. “There. That water basin.”
The sound came from a water basin that was floating down.
An Jiuyue took a deep breath and began rowing with the bamboo pole quickly, trying to catch up to the water basin. However, the water basin was much lighter than the raft and drifted very far away.
