1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1144 You must save my son first.
Chu Xue felt a weight in her hand and knew that the person in the sea had grabbed her.

After all, she had just seen that the noose hadn't actually caught the person.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Gotcha! Gotcha! Shui Sheng, got him!"

Upon seeing that someone had actually been caught, many people came over to help pull the rope, and soon the person was pulled back to shore.

At this, those who had been making sarcastic remarks fell silent.

Seeing that this could really save lives, some women ran away to get the rope.

Before long, many men were holding ropes and trying to throw them into the sea, just like Chu Xue had done. However, most of them were swept away by the current, but even so, no one stopped trying to save them.

After all, the people struggling in the sea are their relatives and clansmen; no one can just stand by and do nothing.

But what a girl could do, they couldn't do as well as a girl, and they all looked dejected.

As time passed, the people on the beach grew increasingly anxious, fearing that a wave would come and sweep them into the deep sea. At that point, even the King of Heaven himself wouldn't be able to help. They knew this sea all too well; it had nurtured them but also caused them sorrow and awe.

Chu Xue's aim became more and more accurate, and she quickly pulled up two shots.

Just as she was about to throw the noose again, she heard a woman's voice say, "You need to save my son first."

As she spoke, she gave Chuxue a push.

Just as she was about to make another move, Guo Yueliang, who was guarding Chuxue, and a villager stopped her: "Xiaogang's mother, what are you doing? Can't you see that the girl's forehead is covered in sweat? Don't be foolish and cause trouble here. You'll waste precious time that could have been used to rescue your Xiaogang."

The captain, who had rushed over after receiving the news, was furious. He said to the person holding the woman, "Pull them away from me, don't delay their rescue."

Chu Xue naturally knew what was most important right now. She only glanced briefly at who the woman was before quickly throwing herself back into the rescue. Taking advantage of a large wave breaking apart, she forcefully swung the rope around her hand. This time, she used her mental power directly, because time was of the essence. If she didn't rescue the captain's son soon, the little girl might not be able to hold on.

They were also worried that if a huge wave came and the young man from the brigade leader's family was thrown out of their grasp, the chances of the little girl being rescued would be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the young man from the brigade leader's family was indeed quite capable. He spotted the location of the rope and used his agile body to find an opportunity, proving the saying that if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain; if the rope won't come to me, I'll go to the rope.

Amidst gasps of surprise, everyone worked together to pull Yunhai and Xiangbao'er, whom they were holding, ashore.

As soon as the two got ashore, Yunhai was exhausted and terrified, and he had no strength left. Xiang Bao'er, whom he had been holding tightly, had already fainted.

First Snow wanted to save people, but she couldn't be in two places at once, since there were still two others in the sea.

Just as she was pulling the rope back into her hand and directing people to perform CPR on the unconscious Xiang Bao'er, she saw someone struggle to climb out of the sea on their own.

The villagers who had been watching quickly grabbed the bamboo poles they had brought with them: "Quick, grab it!"

Two daring men, ignoring the approaching waves, rushed into the sea, grabbed people, and ran ashore.

Another one came up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There was only one left in the water, but Chuxue's strength was almost completely depleted.

She took a deep breath, preparing to throw the noose again, when she heard the woman from before scream, "What are you waiting for? Save my son!"
