Chapter 123: God's help in times of crisis

Tonghe Street is usually bustling, but it is difficult to walk on when it is crowded. On one side is the river and on the other side is the street. The road is not wide, and the huge flow of people that flock here is suddenly forced to shrink, making the crowd even more crowded.

Moreover, people subconsciously tried to avoid the water, and all of them went inside near the doorways. No one wanted to fall into the water and become soaked. After all, it was such a cold day that if they fell in, they might not be able to get out again.

Just like that, in the panic and crowd, Yu Meixue, who was following closely behind her husband and Shen Yue, felt a huge push from her side, and then someone fell down. It was too late for her to avoid it. Under the huge force of the fall, the little hand that she had been holding tightly in her hand suddenly disappeared.

"Brother Yi!"

Yu Meixue was shocked and staggered. She couldn't even keep her balance and started pushing people around her frantically, anxious to find the child she had escaped from her arms. "Yi Ge'er? Yi Ge'er, where are you..." Unfortunately, the crowd was so large that her little shout did not make a single splash amid the dense screams of fear.

Yu Meixue was so anxious that she almost cried. If she lost the person in her hands, how could she face Doctor Xu and his wife?
At the same time, Xu Miaoniang, who was lagging behind, became anxious when she saw her brother was missing. She was not in a hurry to look for him, but rushed over to hold Yu Meixue's hand and refused to let go, "Aunt Cheng, Aunt Cheng, where is my brother?"

Li Yaoguang, who discovered the situation one step behind Xu Miaoniang, saw that Xu Miaoniang was so confused that she didn't want to look for anyone but only asked her aunt for help. She was also annoyed that she was confused.

But now is not the time to talk about this. Yi Ge'er is only six years old. If he falls down, the situation will not be good. Even if he is not trampled to death, it will be difficult to find him if he is lost for a long time. We must hurry to find him.

Li Yaoguang pulled away Xu Miaoniang who was pestering her, and said that it was more important to find someone, then she silently turned on the electric baton in her hand.

She didn't dare turn it up high and only used the smallest amount of power. Basically, the power would be withdrawn immediately, causing at most a needle-like stinging pain, which would make people subconsciously pause or avoid it.

Li Yaoguang relied on this extremely short period of time of dodging and jumping to protect his brother in his arms while clearing the area around him.

The people who squeezed here felt a sudden tingling and numbness in their bodies, and subconsciously moved away, successfully leaving a small gap, allowing Li Yaoguang to see a small figure who was shivering at the end of the gap, squatting with his hands on his head in a corner next to a row of vertically stacked wine jars close to the water.

It was obvious that the child had heard his previous instructions and kept them in mind.

She liked obedient and sensible children, so she shouted at the trembling little figure, "Don't be afraid, Brother Yi, I'll come pick you up right away."

Obviously, Yi Ge'er, who was huddled beside the car, heard it. He raised his head quickly, looked over here with tears in his eyes and a look of horror, which made Li Yaoguang feel very uncomfortable.

Li Yaoguang relied on her small stature and rushed forward while shouting. When the way ahead was blocked again, she used her power to stun people again. However, she successfully got to Yige'er and jumped onto the big wine jar.

"Come on, don't be afraid, I'll pull you up."

Looking at the hand reaching down towards him above his head, Yi Ge'er felt as if he saw hope from his relatives. He nodded timidly and held out his little hand with great trust.

Only after he pulled the man out of the corner close to the river did Li Yaoguang secretly breathe a sigh of relief, feeling extremely fortunate that the child was lucky enough to find such a place for him to hide in a critical moment. Any child bigger than himself would not be able to squat in this place, so it was a blessing.

She held the man tightly and was about to find a way to take him down to reunite with his family, but she didn't expect that there was another commotion in the crowd for some reason, and the noise was very loud. People pushed each other, as if they were rushing to grab something good. During the shoving, the wine jars that were originally well placed and avoided by everyone were pushed down by someone. One person pushed two, two pushed three, and a row of wine jars fell down like dominoes. The speed was so fast that she didn't have time to react.

Seeing the wine jar above her head smashing down on her head and the jar under her feet shaking and rising and falling, Li Yaoguang was caught off guard. She saw her family members appear in front of her from the corner of her eye. Her aunt reached out her hand in fear to pull people away. Li Yaoguang didn't have time to think about it. She pushed Yi Ge'er in the direction of her aunt, but he fell uncontrollably into the river behind him. It was too late to untie the scarf that was tied tightly around her body.

At the moment of falling, Li Yaoguang regretted holding her brother tightly. She didn't want to be separated from her brother, but now she was afraid that the little guy would fall into the water and get cold with her.

Just when she was prepared for the worst and was ready to use all the equipment she had prepared to swim through the canal even if it meant being exposed, a familiar and urgent shout suddenly came from behind her.

"Benefactor, go on."

Li Yaoguang turned around and saw a large pleasure boat appeared behind him. The person standing at the bow of the boat, holding a bamboo pole and reaching towards him, could it be none other than Gu Qing and Gu Dajia.

Li Yaoguang was delighted and quickly spun in the air. She quickly supported the bamboo pole handed to her by the other party with both hands. While leveraging the force, the bamboo pole also pushed her forward. Li Yaoguang felt her waist tighten as she flipped backwards. When she looked back, her feet had already landed on the ground.

It turned out that Shen Yue saw that Li Yaoguang was in a bad situation, and subconsciously let go of Cheng Su who was trying to hit him to get off his back. When Gu Dajia was helping Li Yaoguang, he arrived at the first time, cooperated in time, and successfully rescued the person back.

Li Yaoguang was so scared when he landed on the ground that he wanted to say thank you, but the crowd behind him was still surging and did not give them a chance. Gu Qing in the river below hurriedly called out again.

"My benefactor, the road ahead is blocked and there is no way to get through. If you don't mind, can you come to the boat and take shelter for a while?"

That's good, of course. It's a life-saving thing. Why would you despise it?

Li Yaoguang nodded quickly. Gu Qing was delighted and held out the bamboo pole in his hand again. "My benefactor, hold on. I'll take you down."

Unexpectedly, when the bamboo pole was extended over, the crowded crowd nearby were not stupid either, and they immediately stretched out their hands to grab it. The look on his face made Li Yaoguang instantly understand why the wine jar had fallen over just now.

Li Yaoguang cursed in his heart, but he was not polite with his hands. Without saying a word, he and Shen Yue moved together. They each attacked the outstretched hands, one hitting the acupoints and numb the tendons, and the other electrocuted the person, protecting their family members in the small space behind them.

"Hurry, Auntie, take the people aboard."

When the people from Linhai Pavilion on the boat below saw this, they all came forward to help. In addition, Gu Dajie was a national pipa player with excellent aim and a straightforward temper, so she hit anyone who reached out his hand without permission hard, and only sent the pole in her hand into the hands of her benefactor and the people who were protecting the young man behind him.

Yu Meixue originally wanted to let her husband who had difficulty walking get off first, but the pole was grabbed by the eldest sister of the Xu family. Yu Meixue didn't say much. After all, she had just lost someone's brother and was caught and questioned. She still felt guilty, so she let the girl go down first, thinking that it would be fine if she went off earlier or later.

But she didn't expect that Xu Miaoniang's hand was quick to reach out, but she was very useless and timid. She couldn't get through with just a simple bamboo pole!
