CHAPTER 559: CHAPTER 559: CRIES FOR HELP

At this moment, Shangguan Wenbin noticed Mu Qiancheng’s predicament and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you stay with my sister-in-law, I’ll go help my sister carry the child."

Mu Qiancheng, upon hearing this, had no other choice, so he said to Shangguan Wenbin, "Wenbin, thank you!"

"No need for thanks, we are family."

As Shangguan Wenbin spoke, he waved his hand and then went towards Jiang Xue. When he reached Jiang Xue’s side, Shangguan Wenbin said with a smile, "Sister, let me carry Little Reunion for a while."

Jiang Xue glanced at Shangguan Wenbin. Although she hadn’t heard the conversation between him and Mu Qiancheng, seeing Mu Qiancheng supporting her mother-in-law made everything clear.

So, Jiang Xue stopped walking and said to the excited Little Reunion, "Baby, would you like Uncle to hold you?"

Little Reunion nodded and then reached out towards Shangguan Wenbin. Well, since Mom is tired from holding him, let Uncle hold him instead.

Shangguan Wenbin watched as Little Reunion reached out to him and happily took him over.

After taking him, Shangguan Wenbin didn’t just hold him; he lifted him onto his shoulders, letting him ride on top.

Back at home, Shangguan Wenbin had done this before, so Little Reunion was not unfamiliar with it; in fact, he was very happy. Because like this, he could see higher than the adults and see further places.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue, thinking that the child was still young, reminded Shangguan Wenbin, "Wenbin, let him down after a while; don’t let him ride for too long."

"Don’t worry, sister, I know," Shangguan Wenbin replied with a smile. Although still young, he was aware of some things. Moreover, because Jiang Xue had a child, he had specially gone to the library to read some parenting books to play with Little Reunion properly.

Hearing Shangguan Wenbin say this, Jiang Xue felt assured and continued accompanying the elders, explaining to them from time to time, acting as their guide.

Having passed the stele forest, the group proceeded toward the peony garden. Just as they were approaching the peony garden, cries for help suddenly reached their ears.

Hearing the cries, everyone’s complexion changed slightly, and they stopped, saying, "Listen, someone is calling for help!"

"It seems to be from over by the lake," Jiang Xue said after listening for a while. This forest park also had a small lake, with some water lilies planted and some reeds growing naturally. People nearby liked to play by the lake in the early morning and late evening.

Especially children, who liked to catch small fish by the shore. If someone was calling for help, it was likely that someone accidentally fell into the lake.

Mu Qiancheng also identified the direction of the cries for help, so he released Bai Yuhua and said, "Mom, there might be an accident over there; I need to go have a look."

By this time, Jiang Xue was already running towards the lake.

Mu Qiancheng saw this and quickened his pace, following behind Jiang Xue.

"Help! Help!" The cries for help became clearer, prompting Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng to speed up their pace. Jiang Xue was ahead, reaching the lake faster than Mu Qiancheng.

Sure enough, she was correct. Someone had fallen into the lake. Judging by the situation, it was a child, and there was a little boy standing on the shore, anxiously shouting for help, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Jiang Xue, the child standing on the shore seemed to see a savior, rushed forward, and grabbed her clothes, saying, "Sister, please, save my brother."

"Don’t worry, I’ll go down and save him now!" Jiang Xue reassured the child, approaching the shore. She moved her body, ready to jump in.
