Chapter 216 The Leg Can't Be Saved
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Ruzhen exclaimed in delight, "Xin Xin, is that you?"
A rustling sound came from inside, and after a while, a figure ran out.
"Mom! What brings you here?"
Shen Shuxin was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Ruzhen. She felt that her mother was like a fairy descending to earth, always coming down from the sky to save her from the most helpless and confused times.
The two embraced each other excitedly, and then the voices of many people could be heard coming from inside the cave.
"Shuxin, has someone come to rescue us?"
"Xin Xin, are we saved?"
"Good heavens, I thought I was going to be trapped in this cave and die. I never expected the country to be so powerful."
"Are we saved? Only half a day has passed! Is this the speed of the military?"
Many teachers and students emerged from the cave one after another. Overjoyed, they wept and excitedly embraced each other to celebrate their newfound life.
Shen Shuxin wiped away her tears. "Mom, wait for me."
She returned to the cave, and Jiang Ruzhen, not knowing what she was going to do, asked anxiously.
"Xin Xin, hurry up, this cave isn't safe..."
Less than two minutes later, Shen Shuxin and another male classmate came out supporting a man.
Jiang Ruzhen took a closer look and hurriedly ran over to help.
"Xie Hui?! What's wrong with you?"
Xie Hui was a mess, but when he looked up, he smiled brightly.
"Godmother! I'm fine, I just got hit in the leg by a rock."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuxin burst into tears. "Mom, he did it to save me."
Upon hearing this, other teachers and students gathered around to express their gratitude to the two.
“Xin Xin’s mom, you don’t know how brave Shen Shuxin and Xie Hui are. If it weren’t for their cleverness today, we would probably all have been crushed to death by the mudslide.”
"Yes, yes, we didn't know what was going on until Xie Hui ran over and told us there was danger and that we should run away quickly."
"Xin Xin is the most amazing. She's really smart. She memorized the entire terrain when she came up the mountain."
While we were still confused, she took the lead and ran this way, saying there was a cave here.
"Shen Shuxin, tell me honestly, are you the reincarnation of the God of Literature? Your photographic memory is simply amazing!"
The students felt reborn and were filled with gratitude towards Shen Shuxin and Xie Hui.
Shen Shuxin was so embarrassed by everyone's praise that she quickly replied...
"Stop praising me, everyone. Let's hurry down the mountain."
Professor Li watched with a smile as everyone was so united and friendly from the back, and then he stepped forward to greet them.
“Shen Shuxin is right, it’s too dangerous in the mountains, let’s go down the mountain quickly.”
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly helped each other and started walking down the mountain.
The atmosphere was very lively along the way. They enthusiastically thanked Jin Sheng and Xiao He repeatedly, leaving the two of them feeling quite flustered.
They mistook the two men for soldiers and assumed that the military had provided timely rescue.
Jiang Ruzhen walked behind, whispering to Shen Shuxin.
"How are things between you and Xie Hui? Have you made up?"
When no one was paying attention, Shen Shuxin revealed a worried expression.
"Mom, Xie Hui was seriously injured by falling rocks while trying to save me."
"Really? I saw him smiling at me just now," Jiang Ruzhen asked in surprise.
"He's just being stubborn. I touched his leg when he wasn't looking, and he didn't even notice. He must not feel it anymore."
Shen Shuxin's eyes were glistening with tears. She had been throwing tantrums at Xie Hui lately and had never given him a kind look.
But now that I think about it, she shouldn't have been so stubborn. She should have found an opportunity to sit down and have a proper conversation with Xie Hui.
"It's alright, I'll take him back to the capital for treatment right away."
Jiang Ruzhen knew the matter was serious, and after descending the mountain, she hurriedly said goodbye to Professor Li and the others.
They took Shen Shuxin and Xie Hui back to Beijing by helicopter.
Shen Shuxin was stunned when she saw the helicopter, then realized that it must be Uncle Lu helping her.
Their relationship is stable; could good news be on the horizon?
Uncle Lu is really good to Mom.
Jin Sheng and Xiao He were sent by Uncle Lu to protect his mother, and Uncle Lu was as considerate as ever.
My initial bias towards Professor Meng has wavered again.
"Mom, Uncle Lu is so good to you. When are you two planning to get married?"
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"You were able to come to me by helicopter so quickly, wasn't it thanks to Uncle Lu's help?"
Looking at her daughter's confident, teasing gaze, Jiang Ruzhen had no words to express her bitterness, and could only grin.
Xiao He saw that she looked very unhappy and wanted to explain for her, but Jiang Ruzhen shook her head. She didn't want her children to worry about her affairs.
Everyone has their own path to walk.
The helicopter quickly returned to Beijing and landed directly at the First Military Region Hospital.
Upon hearing that the injured were brought in by personnel from the Ninth Bureau, the local leaders immediately launched an emergency rescue operation.
Before Xie Hui was taken inside, he waved to Shen Shuxin and Jiang Ruzhen with a relaxed expression, trying to comfort them.
"I'm fine, godmother, Xin Xin, you don't need to worry about me. I just have a broken bone, it'll be fine once it's set."
Jiang Ruzhen and Shen Shuxin nodded as they watched him being wheeled into the emergency room.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Shuxin slumped into a chair, clutching her head and curling up in pain.
Jiang Ruzhen walked over and hugged her, "Don't worry, Xinxin, good people are always protected by heaven. Xie Hui will definitely get better."
Shen Shuxin cried uncontrollably and threw herself into Jiang Ruzhen's arms. "Mom, no matter what Xie Hui becomes, I will marry him and take care of him for the rest of my life. Is that okay?"
Jiang Ruzhen was heartbroken. What wonderful children they were! Why did they have to suffer like this?
"Okay, don't worry. Xie Hui is a kind-hearted kid, he'll definitely be alright."
The two waited outside for five hours, until it was dark outside, before the door to the emergency room finally opened.
When the doctor came out, Jiang Ruzhen and Shen Shuxin quickly went up to ask him questions.
The doctor sighed, "We've reconnected all the bones and nerves we could. We'll see how his body reacts in the next few days."
Prepare for the worst.
"What's the worst-case scenario?" Shen Shuxin asked, her face pale.
"If the recovery goes well, there will be a slight limp. If the recovery doesn't go well, amputation may be necessary..."
"Amputation?" Upon hearing this, Shen Shuxin fainted on the spot.
