Chapter 225 Ice Pond
Qin Yi looked at her steadily, with a struggle in his eyes, suppressing some emotions that were about to break out.
He slid his Adam's apple with difficulty and said:
"Su Tong, come down slowly and try to stand on this tree."
Su Tong looked down and found that Qin Yi had already stepped on the tree and stood firmly.
His face turned even redder.
Only when Su Tong found a foothold and stood firm did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
A faint whistle sounded from the cliff. It was Lin Li and the others.
Looking up, you can only see the protruding cliff. There are too many trees growing across it, and the cliff is not completely vertical. But judging from the sound, this place is not close to the top of the cliff.
Qin Yi also took out a whistle from his left pocket and blew a few notes upwards in response.
After a moment, another whistle sounded.
The two sides asked and answered each other several times before there was no movement.
Qin Yi said: "It's too difficult to climb up, let's find a way to get down to the bottom of the cliff. I'll let Lin Li and the others go forward and try to meet up at the front."
Su Tong was about to say something, but Qin Yi suddenly hugged her and said, "Be careful——"
Just as he finished speaking, a large piece of soil brushed past their heads and fell to the bottom of the cliff.
It may be that when the two of them were hanging on the bush just now, the pull of gravity from falling several times shook the roots, and the roots clung to the cliff again.
At this moment, the loose cliff wall suddenly began to slide, and large pieces of it poured down.
The two had no way to avoid it.
Qin Yi hugged Su Tong tightly as there was nowhere to hide in the small space under their feet. The two of them fell down among the dirt and rocks, hugging each other.
There was actually a pool of water at the bottom of the cliff.
At the last moment of the fall, Qin Yi flipped over, broke the ice on his back, and fell into a deep pool.
The bone-chilling coldness instantly surrounded Su Tong.
The huge impact caused her to lose consciousness briefly, but the biting cold quickly brought her back to consciousness. It only took her a few seconds to react to her current situation and she swam hard towards the surface.
After floating to the surface, I found that there was a cliff ditch running from north to south, which converged into a pool of water. The water was calm on the surface, but a little deeper, I could feel the undercurrent surging.
When I looked down from above before, all I saw was snow falling on the ice.
Perhaps because of the running water, although there was ice floating on the water surface, the ice layer was not thick. The landslide just now had caused the entire ice layer on the surface of the pond to break and scatter.
But she didn't see Qin Yi.
She clearly remembered that at the last moment of falling, Qin Yi held her and turned her around.
She looked up and saw that the height of the fall was about ten meters. Falling from a high altitude, with the weight of two people, the surface tension of the water would have a huge impact on Qin Yi!
She just lost consciousness briefly, so what about Qin Yi?
Su Tong immediately took a deep breath and dived back into the water.
The water in the pond is green and the view is not very good.
The deeper you go into the water, the more you can feel the power of the water. It should not be underestimated. If you are not careful, it can sweep you forward.
Su Tong tried hard to keep her body still and searched under the water. When she was about to run out of breath, she still couldn't find Qin Yi, so she had to swim towards the surface again.
At this moment, a rope passed across her feet and moved forward.
It was the rope tied to Qin Yi.
She felt it and reached out hurriedly, but she failed to grab the rope, and it was pulled forward by a force.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the rope, swam out of the water, and followed the direction of the current.
It was much easier to swim downstream. Not long after swimming forward, she spotted Qin Yi, floating in the water, seemingly still unconscious.
He was carried away by the current, away from the pool, and headed towards the cliff gully to the south.
Su Tong immediately tied the other end of the rope around his waist and rowed towards Qin Yi with all his strength.
The terrain of the cliff gully began to move downward significantly, and the water flow became faster.
I saw the water ahead becoming narrower and turning another corner.
Before Qin Yi was about to hit the wall of the ditch, Su Tong leaped over and hugged him.
However, Su Tong couldn't control the weight of the two people, so he could only hold Qin Yi and continue forward as he was carried by the current.
As the terrain descended, the water flow in the ravine became faster and faster. She could only try her best to protect Qin Yi's head and reduce the impact.
I don’t know how far I rushed forward. Just when Su Tong felt that his whole body had been frozen and numb, a sharp turn appeared in front of him again.
The water was flowing too fast and too cold. This time, Su Tong no longer had the strength to avoid it. She could only try to adjust her body shape and prepare to hit it with her back.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Qin Yi in her arms suddenly hugged her again and turned around, letting his back hit the cliff hard.
"Qin Yi——"
Su Tong exclaimed.
Qin Yi still kept his eyes closed and did not respond.
Fortunately, after this sharp turn, there is a flat shallow bay, and the rushing water finally slowed down.
Su Tong was extremely anxious and grabbed Qin Yi's collar and pulled him onto the shallows.
I quickly unfastened the backpack buckle in front of him, laid him flat, unbuttoned his wet coat, and leaned over to give him artificial respiration...
But just as her lips touched his, she felt a hand gently holding her head.
Su Tong paused and raised his head hurriedly.
Qin Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at her without blinking.
Su Tong's heart slowly returned to its original place.
He asked softly, "Brother Yi! Are you okay?"
Qin Yi closed his eyes and relaxed for a while before he said, "Maybe, it's a bit troublesome!"
——————
Su Tong put up all the radars on his body and used the sharpest judgment of an excellent field doctor to find a cave in this unfamiliar area as quickly as possible and started a fire.
Falling into icy water in such a cold season can be fatal just from hypothermia.
What's more, Qin Yi's condition is not as simple as hypothermia.
She took out the "Cold-Repelling Pills" from her backpack, crushed them, and fed Qin Yi four pills in a row.
Qin Yi's energy was obviously running low, and he fell into coma again after not holding on for long.
Su Tong touched his forehead and found that he had started to have a fever in a short period of time.
She opened Qin Yi's backpack. The backpack was waterproof, and the clothes and other items inside were also packed in waterproof bags. The original intention was to protect them from snow and moisture, as well as her own. This time it really came in handy.
Not only did the waterproof bag come in handy, but the backpack also helped Qin Yi act as a buffer more than once. Otherwise, Qin Yi would have been in danger of death after several consecutive collisions.
She found Qin Yi's underwear and began to take off Qin Yi's clothes.
