Yangzhou's canal met the Yangtze River here, making it exceptionally wide and deep. Countless great ships of the Maritime Silk Road passed through this place. If ships could not sail or dock properly, what Maritime Silk Road would there be?
Thus, this canal was not only no narrower than the legendary Flowing Sand River, but its depth was equally frightening.
Fortunately, the girl who had somehow fallen into the water had landed not far from the bank. Fu Hua was also fast enough that, before she could completely sink, Fu Hua leaped into the water, grabbed her, and carried her ashore.
"Hey! Are you all right?"
After reaching the shore, Fu Hua laid her on the ground. Just as she was about to ask, she discovered that the girl seemed to have already fainted, her face terribly pale.
She had probably been struck by the impact and forcibly swallowed quite a bit of river water.
With no other choice, Fu Hua pressed one hand against her chest and gently pushed a few times. The girl immediately began coughing, spitting out a considerable amount of water that had remained in her throat. Only then did she weakly open her beautiful eyes.
"Feeling any better?"
Fu Hua asked softly.
However... the girl seemed not to hear Fu Hua at all. Her ears were filled with severe ringing, an aftereffect caused by water entering the eardrums. Other than a constant buzzing, she could hear nothing.
And after having her eyes open for only a few seconds, she weakly fainted again.
"..."
Fu Hua stared speechlessly at the girl who looked so much like Luo Tianyi. She had fainted again. It was rather helpless...
But...
"Her body is so weak. How long has it been since she last ate?"
Fu Hua briefly examined her.
