Chapter 184: The Little Girl in the Red Dress

　　"My child, my child..."

　　Several middle-aged men and women were lying on top of the two pale teenagers, crying their hearts out.

　　The lifeguard was drenched in sweat, his eyes revealing deep helplessness and sympathy. They had done their best, but still failed to save the two lives.

　　"How pitiful, only in their teens and gone..."

　　The onlookers sighed with regret.

　　"Sister, please take it easy. Take the child home, lying on the stones like this, how uncomfortable it must be for the child."

　　"Now that it has come to this, take good care of the child's funeral arrangements..."

　　Someone went up to comfort them.

　　But at that moment, the parents were not in a state to listen, one mother even cried until she fainted, causing another flurry of hectic activity.

　　Through the panicked crowd, Lu Fei got a clear view of the two children.

　　They were soaking wet, their skin deathly pale and glaring, covered with a lot of debris and aquatic plants, lying motionless without any sign of life.

　　Lu Fei narrowed his eyes and noticed a faint wisp of black vapor hovering around them.

　　"Move aside, quickly move aside! These two children can still be saved!"

　　Before Lu Fei could observe more carefully, Jing Jian had already rushed over with an extreme sense of urgency.

　　His voice was loud, and it immediately drew everyone's attention.

　　"Still savable?" The lifeguard widened his eyes, stood up at once, and looked Jing Jian up and down, "Are you a doctor or a paramedic?"

　　"Neither." Jing Jian waved his hand carelessly, "I just know a little bit..."

　　"If you're not a doctor, what are you shouting about? The parents are already devastated enough! Don't make things worse, get out of here right now!" The lifeguard was furious.

　　Life is not a game, he detested people who pretended to know what they were doing when they didn't.

　　The children had no pulse, their pupils were dilated, and they had long since lost any signs of life. It was only after several attempts at resuscitation that they were declared dead.

　　This person suddenly running out and shouting made the parents think they hadn't done their best.

　　"These two children are different, they were possessed by water ghosts, they look dead but they're not! Move aside, don't delay me from saving them!"

　　When Jing Jian said this, they became even angrier and would not let him near the children.

　　The children's parents didn't know who he was and were at a loss.

　　At that moment, Lu Fei suddenly rushed forward and stuffed two burning ghost-repelling talismans into the mouths of the two children.

　　"Hey! What are you doing? The kids are already dead, can't you show some respect..."

　　The lifeguard was terrified.

　　The children's parents were also shocked.

　　But in the next moment.

　　The children, who had been still, suddenly shook violently. Their pale bodies then sat up rigidly, and they began to cough and retch violently.

　　They vomited a lot of black mud and murky lake water.

　　After vomiting, the two children slowly fell back, but after a moment, their chests rose and fell slightly, and their eyes slowly opened.

　　Lu Fei let out a slight sigh of relief.

　　Jing Jian's mouth is really terrible at expressing things; by the time he explains clearly, it would be too late to save someone.

　　"Look, there's breathing!"

　　"Alive! The child is really alive!"

　　After a few seconds of silence, the onlookers erupted into loud cheers.

　　The child's parents stumbled over in a rush.

　　"Xiaobo, Xiaobo!"

　　"Mingming, how are you?"

　　"Ah! Don't grab me, don't grab me..."

　　The children struggled in panic, and it took a good amount of soothing from their parents before they could recognize their surroundings and see the worried and anxious faces of their parents.

　　"Dad, Mom!"

　　They threw themselves into their parents' arms and burst into tears.

　　"Can he really save them?" The lifeguards were dumbfounded, looking at Lu Fei in disbelief.

　　How could someone who was clearly dead be brought back to life? How did he do it?

　　"These two kids must have encountered water spirits looking for substitutes!"

　　"What a miracle! If they hadn't met this divine person, they would have been doomed..."

　　The onlookers buzzed with chatter, looking at Lu Fei with reverence.

　　"Savior! Thank you so much for saving my child! If we had listened to the lifeguards, we would have regretted it for the rest of our lives."

　　The child's father, with red eyes, walked over, nearly kneeling before Lu Fei.

　　"Brother, don't say that. If it weren't for the lifeguards performing first aid, these two kids wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long!" Lu Fei said with a smile.

　　"We are all here to save lives, just with different methods. If you put it that way, who would dare to help next time something like this happens?"

　　"Yes, yes, I was just so worried that I wasn't thinking straight and didn't know how to speak properly. I'm sorry, we should all be grateful for the help!" the child's father hurriedly said.

　　The lifeguard's expression immediately softened; in addition to his curiosity, there was also gratitude in his look towards Lu Fei.

　　This young man is much better at speaking than the one before.

　　"Brother, many people drown in this lake every year, and there are a lot of dangerous things here. Bringing your child here to play in the water is practically sending him to his death, isn't it?" Jing Jian spoke again.

　　Hu Zi was speechless.

　　With that mouth, this kid would get beaten up someday.

　　"These two disobedient brats, they sneaked over here. Once they recover, I'll deal with them!"

　　The child's father's face looked a bit unsightly, and he said with both heartache and anger.

　　"We weren't secretly playing in the water... we went into the water to save someone," one of the children, lying weakly in his mother's arms, hoarsely protested with a sense of grievance.

　　"Save people? With your skinny arms and legs, who can you save?" the father scolded with a stern face.

　　"We just wanted to play by the river, and we only went in when we saw someone in the water..." the other child chimed in.

　　"There was no one else in the lake except for the two of you, and you still dare to lie to adults..." the father became agitated.

　　"Brother, don't be so anxious. The children might have really encountered something. They can't wake up because there is a blockage of yin energy in their throats."

　　Lu Fei interrupted the father, walking over and looking at the two teenagers kindly.

　　"Boys, tell me, what exactly happened?"

　　Although the two children were weak, they were no longer in any serious condition. Seeing their parents nod in agreement, they began to tell their story in fragments.

　　It had been hot these few days, so the two children decided to take a walk by the river and skip stones.

　　They played for the whole afternoon and were about to go back when they suddenly heard a splash in the lake, as if something had fallen in.

　　Curious, they looked over and saw someone struggling and sinking in the water.

　　It looked like a little girl, wearing a red dress, and she was mumbling for help unclearly.

　　The two teenagers, in a panic, were worried that calling for help would take too long. Seeing that the water wasn't deep, they jumped in to rescue her.

　　After getting into the water, they swam towards the little girl with all their effort.

　　Logically, the little girl was only about ten meters away, and they should have been able to reach her quickly.

　　But strangely, no matter how hard they swam, the little girl always remained the same distance away.

　　At that moment, their minds were focused on rescuing her, and they didn't think much. When they finally realized what was happening, they found themselves in the middle of the lake.

　　The water was so deep that they couldn't see the bottom, and there was not a sound around.

　　Suddenly, the little girl vanished!

　　The two immediately felt terrified and started swimming back in a panic.

　　But at that moment, something cold suddenly wrapped around their ankles in the water.

　　At this point, the two young men were breathing heavily, their pale bodies beginning to tremble.

　　"We were pulled into the water."

　　"I saw, I saw... there was a particularly huge face down there!"
