Su Qingluan looked back again without giving up - there was still no movement behind, and it was a desolate place.
She looked around again. The oldest child was only about the same age as herself, almost thirteen or fourteen years old. But the child himself was so frightened that he squatted on the shore and kept sobbing quietly in the company of his friends.
This situation was obviously hopeless. Su Qingluan gritted his teeth, looked in the direction of his brother and sister, and shouted loudly: "Chen Jiabao, hold on, don't move!"
Then he quickly ran to his brother and sister and said: "You two continue to stay here, sister is going to rescue people." After saying that, he took the nail shoes that were still covered with ice and walked towards the river. , but was held by two pairs of small hands.
"Sister, are you in danger?" The little girl burst into tears.
"Don't worry, sister will not put herself in danger." Su Qingluan knelt down and touched the top of her sister's hair with a smile.
"You're lying!" Su Xuanhe said anxiously, "Are you going to wear spiked shoes to save that annoying kid just now? Sister, don't go, you will fall into the water and freeze to death!"
"But what if the child froze to death?" Su Qingluan looked at his brother.
Su Xuanhe turned his head to the side: "Nothing will happen to you anyway!"
"I promise you, sister will be fine. Let's hook up. Who is lying and who is the puppy?" Su Qingluan stretched out her little finger - even though the situation is very critical now, she knows how to comfort her brother and sister. Very important.
Otherwise, if the two of them were worried that they would follow them rashly, everyone would be in danger.
"Okay, let's pull the hook," Su Xuanhe said reluctantly, "But sister, you have to promise me that if your shoes accidentally slip out, you will come back as soon as possible?"
Su Qingluan nodded, but her heart suddenly moved - although her brother said it unintentionally, he gave her a hint.
After thinking about it, Su Qingluan went to the shore and folded a few thicker long branches, and returned to the shore again.
In fact, according to the actual distance, Chen Jiabao is only a dozen steps away from the shore. The distance of six or seven meters is not particularly far.
But just such a small distance is indeed like a chasm in the face of life and death.
Moreover, Su Qingluan did not dare to act rashly. She first visually checked the approximate "safe range" near the shore.
In fact, although Su Qingluan didn't come to this water area often, he was still familiar with it.
Because the current in this area of water is relatively fast but narrow, she once did "fence" fishing in a narrower section of water upstream, where she stayed with her younger brothers and sisters to play.
But it was already summer by then.
Su Qingluan knew that the water level in this part of the river near the shore was relatively shallow, and underneath there were stones with rounded edges washed by the river.
But if you walk only four or five steps toward the middle of the two banks, you will come to a river full of silt. However, the water level here will suddenly deepen and remain turbulent. It is even said that some people accidentally stepped into the mud puddle and drowned.
The position where Chen Jiabao was lying was obviously far away from the "safe zone" within four or five steps.
Su Qingluan carefully crawled on the ice, letting her center of gravity cross the edge of the "safe zone", and stretched her hands in the direction of Chen Jiabao as much as possible - of course, she did not expect that she would be able to reach Chen Jiabao by relying on this. After all, the location is still about ten steps away, right?
"Chen Jiabao, listen to me!" Su Qingluan was lying on the ice. As long as she put her ears close to the ice, she could hear a subtle "click-click" sound coming from the ice. "I will slide the branches now." I came to you to test whether my strength can pass things over. You have to try to catch the branches with both hands - but you must not stand up, do you understand?"
"Are you going to do it to me?" Chen Jiabao's voice was trembling.
"I'm trying to save you!" Su Qingluan shouted, "but I have to try to see if it's possible before I officially give it to you!" What she really wanted to give to Chen Jiabao was the pair of nail shoes.
"Slide the thing over and I will catch it!" Chen Jiabao shouted with a trembling voice, "If you save me, my family will not treat you badly!"
"..." Su Qingluan was speechless: What should she say? In such a dangerous time, she still didn't forget to "promise heavy profits" - although Su Qingluan estimated that with her current ability to make money, what Chen Jiabao's parents could offer would not be considered "big profits".
The speechless result was that Su Qingluan simply ignored Chen Jiabao's words and began to concentrate on sliding the branches across the ice.
However, things will not go smoothly - although the vertical distance can indeed reach Chen Jiabao's location, the horizontal accuracy is very difficult to control. To put it bluntly, Su Qingluan slid two branches in a row, either from Chen Jiabao's left or from the right.
"You, you didn't mean to cause trouble, did you?" Chen Jiabao was so anxious that he was about to cry again.
Su Qingluan's face turned dark: This was simply more insulting than calling her a poor person!
However, Su Qingluan was not a koi but not a chief either. After two failed attempts, the third branch finally slipped within Chen Jiabao's "receiving range".
In an instant, not to mention Su Qingluan's heart was filled with joy, even the children who were watching nervously on the shore started cheering.
Chen Jiabao probably thought that this branch was a tool for him, so he quickly raised it and pulled his neck and asked, "What should I do now?" Although he tried his best, Su Qingluan noticed that his voice was weakening - he Must be faster.
So, without saying a word, she slid another branch over and said, "I'm going to slide a pair of nail shoes for you later! If by any chance I slip as I did at the beginning, you have to find a way to use a branch to slide it over." Is it enough to hear it?" She slid the branch over in order to increase the "error tolerance" of both parties.
After all, there was only one pair of spikes, and the younger siblings didn't wear them because they were skating. And if it fails this time, the consequences may be fatal. Even if Su Qingluan does not have a perfect strategy, he must try to increase the possibility of success.
Chen Jiabao understood what Su Qingluan meant and held the two branches in his hands, one on the left and one on the right, as extended "arms" against the ice.
Sure enough, Su Qingluan's worries were not unfounded - one of his nailed shoes slipped. Fortunately, Chen Jiabao's will to survive allowed him to desperately reach for the nail shoes, and he was able to get both shoes without any danger.
"Listen to me now!" Su Qingluan continued to lie on the ice, supporting his upper body with his whole forearm and palm, while his lower body was still lying on the ice. He raised his head and shouted towards Chen Jiabao: "Put on the nail shoes." Think of it as two paws, put them on your hands - aren't you wearing gloves? Put the nail shoes on the gloves to make them more secure! Then use your hands to grab the leading edge of the shoes!"
Su Qingluan is very lucky now that these nail shoes are modified from straw shoes!
