Chapter 441
She couldn’t stop crying.
The corners of Fu Jingting’s mouth pulled out a very faint smile, and with his pale face and drenched body, the whole person not only did not look the least bit distressed, but also showed a sickly and messy masculine beauty.
He lifted his right hand and used his index finger to gently hook away the tears on her lower eyelids, saying in a hoarse voice “Stop crying, it’s not pretty anymore.”
When Rongshu heard his words, she gave him an angry look, “We’ve just come back from the dead, what do we care if we look good?”
Fu Jingting put his hand down, “You’re right.”
“That’s right.” Rongshu wrenched his body slightly upright, “How did you just sink to the bottom of the lake?”
Fu Jingting closed his eyes slightly, “When I fell, I was cushioned underneath you, and when you fall from a high place, the pressure on the water surface is very strong and it also becomes very hard, the moment I smashed into the water, it was like my head and back hit a big rock, so I lost consciousness.”
So that was it.
“Then are your head and back okay?” Rongshu hurriedly looked towards the back of his head.
Fu Jingting shook his head gently, “Nothing’s wrong, just a little dizzy and a little nauseous.”
On top of that, the back was also burning and painful.
The whip wound on his back hadn’t healed fully, as there were some scabs that hadn’t finished falling off, and now, I guess, where the scabs hadn’t fallen off, the whip wound had re-cracked again.
However, this was still a minor problem, the real problem was his left arm.
He can’t seem to feel the existence of his left arm ……
Of course, Fu Jingting would not tell Rong Shu about this.
“Dizzy and nauseous?” Hearing Fu Jingting’s condition at the moment, Rong Shu’s heart suddenly tightened.
Usually when dizziness and nausea would occur in the head, it was when there was a serious impact on the head.
Just like last time, when she was hit on the head with a stick by Li Zhaodi and got a concussion, she was dizzy and nauseous for some time afterwards.
So now, she was pretty sure that he was probably concussed.
And a concussion had to be treated immediately, otherwise it would be easy to develop a stubborn headache later.
When she thought of this, Rong Shu told Fu Jingting to sit still and stood up herself at once, “No, we can’t stay here and wait for someone to come down to find us, you must seek medical attention immediately, also our clothes are wet, it’s so cold now, if we wait dryly, we will also get sick from the cold, let’s leave a mark along the way to leave here first, see if there is anyone living outside this wood, if there is, then we will be saved. we’ll be saved.”
After saying this, she bent down and went to take Fu Jingting’s arm.
However, when she grabbed his left arm, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
His left arm was actually limp, and where his shoulder connected to his left arm, it was actually tilted, which was obviously not the arm of a normal person.
Realizing this, Rong Shu’s pupils crinkled and her face changed, her eyes looked at Fu Jingting in shock, her mouth opened for a while before she found her voice, “Your …… your arm ……”
“It seems to be broken.” The corners of Fu Jingting’s mouth raised a clear arc, unconcerned back, as if he was saying that what was broken, was not his arm.
The whole person stumbled a step before stabilizing herself, and her voice trembled as she said, “Broken? Was it broken on the cliff?”
She remembered that the moment the tree trunk broke on the cliff, he looked a little out of sorts, and a lot of sweat oozed from the corner of his forehead.
But now that she thought about it, it wasn’t because he couldn’t support the weight, but that something had happened to his arm.
When Fu Jingting heard Rong Shu’s question, his eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyes flickered for a moment without speaking.
When Rongshu saw him like this, she didn’t know that she was right, so she bit her lip and clenched her hand, “Why? Why didn’t you tell me, Fu Jingting?”
Fu Jingting saw that she was so emotional and knew that she couldn’t remain silent any longer, her thin lips moved back, “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, but at that time we were already falling downwards and I thought we would die, so naturally there was no need to tell you about such things.”
“Having said that, what about now? We survived, and when I just asked you how you were, you only said you were dizzy, but you didn’t tell me you had a broken arm, so if I hadn’t found out for myself, were you just not going to tell me?” Rongshu’s eyes were red as she stared at him, with a look of anger.
Fu Jingting’s eyes shifted away slightly.
When Rong Shu saw this, she crossed her arms in anger, “Fine, you really did intend to do that, Fu Jingting you …… you are simply infuriating me to death.”
She couldn’t help but stomp her foot.
But then she thought, he is a wounded man, or to save her to do so, she took a deep breath again, hurried to suppress the anger, forced to bear patiently asked again, “Fu Jingting, you honestly tell me, is there any other places injured? The back? I remember you just said that your head and back hit the water, your head was injured, so your back must have been injured too, right?”
Fu Jingting looked at the way Rong Shu was holding back her anger and knew that he couldn’t hide anything more, otherwise when she found out later, it would only make her even angrier, so he could only nod his head with his thin lips lightly pursed, “Mm.”
“Sure enough.” Rongshu’s chest rose and fell violently twice, “What else?”
Fu Jingting shook his head, “No more.”
“Really?” Rongshu looked at him, obviously somewhat unconvinced.
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe him, but he was a person who, whenever he had something, liked to hold it in his heart and not say anything.
So there was no way for her to believe it.
Fu Jingting nodded, “It’s really nothing.”
“Good, I hope what you said is true, if it is checked out afterwards and you have other injuries, Fu Jingting, don’t blame me for not giving you a good look.”
With those words, she let go of his left arm and instead supported his right arm, pulling him up from the ground.
“Can you stand still?” Rongshu opened her mouth and asked again.
Fu Jingting nodded slightly, “Yes.”
Although his head was dizzy, he could still stand steadily.
“That’s good, wait a moment.” Rongshu let go of his arm, then took off the short trench coat she was wearing.
Although Fu Jingting didn’t know what she was going to do, he didn’t stop her from taking it off.
The clothes were wet anyway, so it was cold whether they were taken off or not.
Under Fu Jingting’s suspicious eyes, Rongshu took two steps towards the front with the jacket, then picked up a sharp-edged stone and used the pointed part of the stone to separate the jacket.
Seeing this, Fu Jingting now knew what she was going to do, and the corners of her lips curled up in a happy curve.
Soon, Rong Shu returned with a handful of cloth, and a few small wooden sticks that she had picked up casually on the ground, “Conditions are limited, so I can only fix your arm for now, and when we get out, we’ll have the doctor put your arm back together.”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting smiled and nodded his head.
Rongshu put the extra strips of cloth on the floor first, taking only some of the ones she wanted to use, and then began to fix Fu Jingting’s arm.
And Fu Jingting just kept looking down at her, his eyes so gentle that they seemed to be drowning out water.
Naturally, Rongshu felt the burning gaze coming from above her head, but ignored it and concentrated on fixing him.
After a few minutes, she tied a dead-end knot in his arm and the fixation was even.
“How does it feel? Is it too tight?” Rongshu asked as she took a step back and looked up at the man.
Fu Jingting looked at his arm hanging from his chest and smiled, shaking his head, “No, tighter is better, the bones won’t be misaligned twice.”
“That’s what I thought, that’s why I tied it tighter.” Rongshu smiled a little along with her.
Afterwards, she picked up the fabric on the floor and wanted to say something else when she suddenly saw Fu Jingting’s tall body, falling towards her.
Chapter 442
Seeing this, Rongshu’s face froze for an instant, then rushed to catch him with her hands and feet.
For this reason, she even stumbled backwards two steps before she could barely stabilise her figure, as Fu Jingting was too heavy.
“Fu Jingting what’s wrong with you?” Rongshu asked in a hurry after she had helped him up.
Fu Jingting did not respond, leaning against her shoulder with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
But Rongshu guessed that he should have pa*sed out.
It was only a matter of time before he fainted as he had received a severe blow to the head and was dizzy from the hair.
But then, there was no way for Fu Jingting to go on his own, so he would have to rely all on her to take her out.
Sucking in a breath, Rong Shu turned around, then carried Fu Jingting half on her back, half dragging her forward.
Ahead, that is, to the south, and with the thin woods ahead, she should be able to get out of the woods soon.
Once out of the woods, we should be able to see places where people lived.
As she led Fu Jingting forward, Rongshu turned her head to look at the man lying on her back, her eyes firm and serious, “Fu Jingting, I will definitely take you out.”
After saying that, she turned her head back and continued walking forward.
Walking a distance, she would drop a strip of cloth, leaving a mark for anyone who came looking for them.
Originally, she had intended to tie these strips of cloth to the branches of the trees, so that if there was wind, she wouldn’t worry about them being blown away.
But that would require Fu Jingting to walk on his own before she could tie them.
Now Fu Jingting couldn’t walk and she was carrying him on her back, so naturally she couldn’t spare her hands to tie the cloths, so she could only throw them on the ground, hoping that they wouldn’t be blown away by the wind.
After walking for an unknown period of time, just when Rongshu was exhausted, a thunderbolt suddenly came from the sky.
Rongshu’s body trembled with fear, then she stopped slightly and looked up at the sky.
The sky had already darkened, and the huge dark clouds cast a shadow over the earth, which, together with the continuous thunder, brought a great sense of oppression.
It was going to rain!
And it was a heavy rain!
Realising this, Rong Shu’s expression was a little less than stellar, for with the rain, they could no longer move on.
It was easy to fall and fall down when walking on a mountain road when it was raining.
In Fu Jingting’s case, he definitely could not fall any further.
Apart from that, another thing was that it was also getting a bit dark.
Although she didn’t know the exact time now, her mobile phone and the electronic devices on her body, such as her watch or whatever, had all been taken off by Ye Kites’ men the moment she was kidnapped and thrown away to who knows where.
And Fu Jingting’s mobile phone, presumably, was also gone.
Otherwise, at the lake just now, Fu Jingting must have taken it out and contacted a*sistant Zhang, so he couldn’t have done nothing.
As for Fu Jingting’s watch, she couldn’t have left him on the ground to look at it now, but she could roughly guess that it should be around six or seven o’clock at night.
It was dark and raining, so it seemed that she really couldn’t go any further and had to find a place to hide from the rain, otherwise she definitely wouldn’t make it through the night and would freeze to death.
Right now she was all cold because of the wet clothes she was wearing, but because she had Fu Jingting on her back, she could still bear it, but Fu Jingting had no one to help him, so you can imagine how much cold Fu Jingting was suffering right now.
But where on earth would he hide from the rain for the night?
Biting her lip, Rongshu looked around, and luckily, not far ahead, there was actually a cave.
“Great!” Seeing that cave, Rong Shu was greatly surprised and her eyes instantly lit up, bursting with excited hope.
“Fu Jingting, we have a place to hide from the rain for the night.” Rongshu turned her head and spoke to the man on her back before leading him quickly towards the cave.
Soon, the cave arrived.
As soon as the two of them went inside, it was snapping and pouring outside.
Rongshu sighed as she listened to the sound of the rain behind her.
It had to be said that they were really lucky that the rain did not come down at first, but only when they were entering the cave, which was a blessing from the heavens.
Thinking about it, Rong Shu couldn’t help but smile a little, then she noticed something and her whole body was surprised.
Was that …… firewood and clothes, and pots and pans?
There was also a pile of dry straw, as well as two somewhat old quilts.
How could there be all these things here?
Is it hard to believe that this cave is a cave where some homeless people live?
No, I don’t think so. What vagrant lives in a mountain?
And where homeless people live, it should be very messy and dirty, with lots of cardboard plastic bottles, things that these homeless people want to sell for money.
But there was none of that here, the cave was dry, there wasn’t any rubbish, and the quilts, although they looked a bit old, were definitely not dirty.
So the owner of these things should not be a homeless person, and as for what exactly it was, Rongshu didn’t want to think about it.
Right now she only wanted to unload Fu Jingting and then check how the injury on Fu Jingting’s back was doing.
Rongshu led Fu Jingting to the pile of straw.
The straw was flat and evenly spread, so it was probably where the people who lived here slept.
After laying Fu Jingting on the straw and moving his sore neck and body a little, Rongshu went to look for any tools to make a fire.
It was so cold that a fire had to be built to keep them warm, otherwise the night would be too difficult.
Their wet clothes had to be dried, or they would get sick if they kept them on.
As she looked for the tools to make the fire, Rongshu found a light layer of ash covering the blankets and the pots and pans in the corner.
Rongshu reached up and wiped it, then smiled as she looked at the ash on her fingers through the last bit of sky that hadn’t yet gone completely dark.
“Excellent.” She twisted her fingers, twisting the ash off them.
Now she could be sure that the people who had originally lived in this cave hadn’t come to stay for some time, and the ash was evidence of that.
This made Rongshu stifle a sigh of relief.
It was good that no one was living here, she was actually worried that if someone did live here, it would be a problem if that person came back later and kicked them out.
At the same time, she was afraid that whoever was living here was some kind of fugitive, which would be even scarier.
But now that no one was there, she was relieved.
Rongshu found a lighter, then went to hold another pile of firewood, went to a place where there were signs of a fire, and lit the fire.
The firewood was dry and had a high ignition point, and soon the fire was up and running.
Rongshu put a lot of firewood into it, and the fire burned so brightly that it lit up the whole cave, making the cold cave a little warmer and less cold.
Rongshu patted the ash on her hands and stood up, left the fire and went to the quilt, then picked up the two sets of clothes next to the quilt and prepared to change into them for herself and Fu Jingting, after all, we can’t keep wearing wet clothes, we’ll get a fever.
These two sets of clothes were camouflage clothes, one large and one small, and judging from the size, they should be for a man and a woman.
So it was two people who originally lived in this cave?
Without thinking much about it, Rongshu picked up the man’s camouflage suit and unfolded it, becoming even happier when she saw the three words on the label at the left bręąst pocket of the suit.
“It’s a forest ranger!” Rong Shu murmured.
It turned out that the ones living here were not any vagrants, let alone outlaws, but two rangers.
That made her feel more at ease, because then even if the people living here came back, she wouldn’t have to worry about any danger, as well as being kicked out.
Rongshu returned to Fu Jingting’s side with her camouflage uniform and sat down before reaching out to wipe Fu Jingting’s forehead to see if he had any fever or fever.
When there was none, she breathed a sigh of relief and then began to change his clothes.
