Chapter 63: It turns out that we are more than just classmates
"Are we going directly from here?" Song Lehan looked at the note in his hand, then looked at the dirt road in reality, showing doubt.
Xu Jiangcuo leaned over and carefully compared the address on the paper, frowning.
"Are you sure he didn't draw it wrong?"
That's right.
The address was drawn by Teacher Li from memory, and there are conspicuous signs at key locations.
As I walked along, everything drawn on the note was correct.
But, at this corner.
Teacher Li's drawing shows the person moving forward, but there is no road ahead, only two roads in the east-west direction.
Song Lehan couldn't understand it either, "But the path we took before was right."
She raised her head and glanced sideways at Xu Jiangcuo, "So, how do we go?"
Xu Jiangcuo put down the note, looked around, and finally chose the road on the left. "This road is inclined and relatively closer to the north. How about giving it a try?"
"What you said makes sense. Let's give it a try." Song Lehan nodded in affirmation and walked towards that road without saying a word.
Xu Jiangcuo still followed behind her.
The sun had already set, the sky gradually darkened, and the road became blurry.
Song Lehan turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone at the right time, but the phone was already low on battery and soon turned off.
Without the light, I couldn’t see the road clearly.
Originally, Xu Jiangcuo wanted to take out his mobile phone, but was rejected by Song Lehan.
She said that she had to leave a cell phone number so that she could call for help if she got into trouble.
With that said, the two of them could only move forward in the dark.
The note said that as long as you walk along this road and go down the slope, you will see a house.
That is the Puchi family.
With this belief, Song Lehan walked cautiously in front, while Xu Jiangcuo put his hand loosely around her waist, fearing that she would slip and fall.
The two walked slowly up the hillside, being extremely careful.
After walking for a long time, when Song Lehan felt that he was almost there, a fork in the road appeared ahead.
"Why is there another fork in the road?" Song Lehan was deflated and began to doubt, "Did we take a wrong turn somewhere earlier?"
Otherwise, why would there be one fork in the road after another?
Xu Jiangcuo shook his head. "No, I just followed the path Teacher Li drew."
He was more inclined to believe that Teacher Li had drawn the road incorrectly.
"What should we do now?" Song Lehan sighed, and the idea of retreating began to emerge. "How about we go back? It's so dark now, I'm afraid something might happen."
Xu Jiangcuo was a little hesitant, but still nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go back. It won't cost you one more night anyway."
For safety reasons, the two walked back along the same route.
Song Lehan was still walking in front, with Xu Jiangcuo following closely behind. Perhaps because he had just walked past the place and was familiar with it, Song Lehan quickened his pace.
In the dark night, the wolf king's long howl pierced the sky.
Hearing the sound, Song Lehan shuddered reflexively. Behind her, Xu Jiangcuo thought she was not standing firmly and subconsciously grabbed her clothes. As a result, Song Lehan, who had been standing firmly, was pulled by him and fell backward uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Xu Jiangcuo instinctively protected her head and rolled down the hillside with her.
The sound of wind brushed past my ears.
Song Lehan was held tightly in Xu Jiangcuo's arms, and the warmth blocked out the pain.
The rocks lying across the hillside prevented the two men from tumbling.
In the dark night, Song Lehan heard a muffled groan, and then she saw Xu Jiangcuo close his eyes.
"Xu Jiangcuo!" She said anxiously, quickly broke free from his arms, stood up and checked his breathing.
Still breathing.
Song Lehan suppressed his panic and calmly took out Xu Jiangcuo's mobile phone. However, when he was about to make the call, he was stunned.
Who can I call?
The area is sparsely populated and the terrain is complex, making it difficult for the police and emergency medical services to find them immediately.
Now, I can only call Teacher Li.
He remembered the way they had come.
Having made up her mind, Song Lehan opened Xu Jiangcuo's phone. His phone didn't have a password, so she searched through the contacts, found Teacher Li's number, and dialed without hesitation.
"Teacher Li! Xu Jiangcuo and I rolled down the mountain. Now Xu Jiangcuo is unconscious. Can you find someone to save him?" As soon as the call was connected, Song Lehan explained the situation and finally reported the specific location.
Teacher Li agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he quickly found someone to rescue them.
Song Lehan put down the phone, walked to the stone, and checked if Xu Jiangcuo was injured.
He hit the back of his head, which caused him to pass out, but fortunately there was no bleeding.
However, not bleeding is even more terrifying.
Song Lehan didn't know what to do, and tears started to flow down her face again.
"Acuo, you can't be in trouble. I haven't compensated you yet, you can't just..."
Song Lehan couldn't continue speaking.
She gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and dialed 120 again to ask if there was any emergency treatment.
She gave Xu Jiangcuo first aid as instructed by the medical staff.
Just after pressing the philtrum, Xu Jiangcuo took a deep breath and his eyelids moved.
"He moved! He responded!" Song Lehan burst into tears, "And then? What should I do next?"
Before hearing the medical staff's response, Xu Jiangcuo raised his hand.
"Le...Le." He called her name weakly.
"I'm here, Acuo, I'm here."
Song Lehan reached out, held his hand, tears streaming down her face.
Xu Jiangcuo stared at her with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he had a lot to say to her, but he never said a second word.
In a hurry, Song Lehan did not notice this.
All her attention was on Xu Jiangcuo's safety. "Acuo, are you feeling unwell? Are you dizzy? Are you in pain?"
Xu Jiangcuo closed his eyes and then opened them again.
This is his answer, he doesn't feel any pain.
Song Lehan nodded, but she was still worried without a doctor's examination.
"you......"
Xu Jiangcuo opened his lips again, moved them up and down, and then closed his mouth again.
"What do you want to say?" Song Lehan noticed this. "Just tell me what you want to say. I can hear you."
Xu Jiangcuo closed his eyes and opened them again: Nothing.
Song Lehan didn't think much about it. "I've already called Teacher Li. I believe they will be here soon. Then we can go to the hospital for a check-up to see if you are injured."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes and remained silent for a second.
Self-blame flooded my heart.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you like this. I'm sorry."
Song Lehan was crying so hard that her voice was so low that it was obvious that she was deliberately suppressing it.
"If I hadn't gone to Puchi's house, you wouldn't be like this."
"It's all my fault. I hurt you again."
Hot tears dripped onto Xu Jiangcuo's wrist. He lowered his eyes and glanced at it, his heart skipping a beat.
Many blurry scenes gradually became clear.
At this moment, the crying girl in front of him overlapped with the figure squatting beside him in his memory.
Xu Jiangcuo remembered that he and Song Lehan had known each other for a long time.
