Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Save People!

Night had fallen over Chixia Village, eerily void of any human sounds. Jiang Li followed the village chief’s wife down a narrow path leading to the barren lands behind the village, where the stillness of the wild mountains intensified, marked only by the sound of a few footsteps.

There were not many viewers in Jiang Li’s livestream to begin with, and the current scene only made their hearts more inclined to leave.

[Is Jiang Li serious? It’s pitch-dark here; would that child Xiao Hu really come to such a place?]

[Who knows, maybe she’s just trying to boost her livestream’s popularity by staging this whole event with the villagers. How boring, I’d rather go watch Qi dance for the villagers next door.]

[I have to say, Jiang Li is really brave. I’m scared just looking through the camera, but her expression hasn’t changed at all.]

Since the village chief had dismissed Jiang Li’s “nonsense” from the start, he took the others up the mountain directly.

Only the village chief’s wife followed.

All along the way, she sobbed quietly, and in her haste, she even almost tripped over on the path.

Jiang Li steadied her, saying softly, “Aunt Wang, don’t worry. Though Xiao Hu’s Life Plate shows he is in some danger, it’s not life-threatening.”

Jiang Li’s voice was as gentle as a spring breeze and inexplicably carried a comforting power.

The village chief’s wife had to quickly wipe her tears and assured, patting her chest, “Yes, yes, I’m not worried. Xiao Hu will be alright… we’re almost there…”

Passing over a small hill, a silvery pond suddenly appeared before them.

However, the pond’s surroundings were crowded with reeds, almost concealing the entire water surface under the moonlight, making it impossible to see inside.

Aunt Wang quickly let go of Jiang Li’s hand, running along the pond while shouting hoarsely, “Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu, where are you? I’m your mom, please make a noise.”

Jiang Li, looking at the chilly pond in front of her, furrowed her brows, then turned to the camera operator and said,

“You go and check the other side, I’ll look here. Call me if you find anything.”

Considering the matter pertained to personal safety, the camera operator nodded and, lifting the camera, ran to the other side.

[I swear, I swear, why do I feel like this isn’t staged anymore, this auntie is really freaking out.]

[Yeah, if it were staged, the camera operator would’ve stayed and filmed Jiang Li.]

[I can’t take it anymore, I’m starting to get anxious, where has the person gone?]

Compared to the other guests who were frantically searching for their lodgings, Jiang Li’s livestream, which was playing out like an episode of “Today’s Talks,” was clearly more thrilling and engaging.

Thus, more and more viewers poured in.

By now, the camera operator had already placed the streaming equipment on the ground, with the lens incidentally facing the lifeless, and even coldly gleaming, lake surface, giving a shocking visual to the new viewers.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li had already rolled up the hem of her dress and stepped into the edge of the pond.

Parting the dense reeds, she immediately saw a boy floating among the weeds.

Her heart sank, she quickly ran over.

Fortunately, the boy was only temporarily unconscious, with vital signs still present.

Jiang Li didn’t dare delay any longer, shouting, “I found him, he’s here!”

Aunt Wang and the camera operator immediately rushed over.

[I swear, I swear, they really found someone! Wait, did this kid accidentally fall into the water?]

[Help, this camera shaking is too realistic, I’m starting to doubt if this is staged?]

[It’s a dark and windy night… help, I’m really not brave, I just wanted to peacefully follow a variety show, how did I end up witnessing a “crime scene”?]
