An Jiuyue glanced at her and replied, "It's not even noon yet."
She had decided to patrol the waters every morning and evening to rescue everyone she could. If she left now, she could miss rescuing someone who drifted by now and might be swept away later.
To be honest, she had hoped that some of the villagers who knew how to swim would come with her. However, she quickly gave up on that. The men here were not as generous and open-minded as many of the women were. It was extremely difficult to assign tasks to them.
"You—"
The woman was furious.
"Sister Ling, we're already lucky enough to be saved by this lady. Let's wait a little longer. There might be other people who need to be rescued." The young lady named Yan Yan spoke up for An Jiuyue.
She felt that it was much better to be sitting in the raft than immersed in the water. Although they were cold now, they could at least start a fire at noon.
