Lin Changyuan was lucky; of the several shots fired by the enemy, he was only hit in the leg once, and the rest missed.
Lin Changyuan, who had tumbled down the cliff, thought he was doomed. His only regret was not seeing his sister. He had been able to have a long vacation after this mission and visit her, but he never expected this…
Thinking of his sister, he suddenly remembered something. He forced himself to stay conscious, took out a jade bottle from his chest, opened the lid, and poured the ginseng pills inside into his mouth. He didn't know if the ginseng pills would work, but he thought that this was his sister's gift and that he always carried it with him. He never expected to use it today.
After swallowing the ginseng pill, a warm current flowed from his abdomen to his limbs, instantly clearing his dazed mind. The overwhelming fatigue also lessened considerably, and he felt his strength return. He looked around and saw a small, recessed depression not far away that should be enough to keep him dry.
Lin Changyuan used all his strength to climb over. He didn't know how long it took him to climb such a short distance of just a few meters. Fortunately, he finally made it in before he ran out of strength. Exhausted, Lin Changyuan finally leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep.
"Ah... Second Brother..."
At night, everyone was sleeping soundly in the cave when Lin Qing's sudden exclamation woke them up.
"Qingqing, wake up... baby, wake up..."
Hearing Lin Qing's exclamation, Gu Nanxun quickly picked her up from the ground, held her in his arms, and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
“Nanxun…my second brother…”
Gu Nanxun wiped the sweat from Lin Qing's forehead. "Qingqing, it's okay. You're dreaming. You're just dreaming."
"No, Brother Nanxun, I dreamt that my second brother was covered in blood and rolled down a mountain. Brother Nanxun, something must have happened to my second brother, what should I do... what should I do..."
Lin Qing hugged Gu Nanxun anxiously and said that she felt strange. Her heart was clenched with pain. She had never seen her second brother before, but she was still so upset. But she knew that she didn't want anything to happen to her second brother.
"System, can you find out what happened?" Gu Nanxun knew Lin Qing was anxious, so he asked the system.
"Sure, but it requires a lot of points."
“It’s alright, go ahead and check!” Gu Nanxun said without hesitation. The other party was Lin Qing’s second brother, which was also his own second brother. No matter how many points he had, his second brother was more important.
"Ding... This query requires 1 million points. Would you like to proceed?"
"Search!"
"Lin Changyuan is currently in a trough near the mountain wall at the foot of a mountain called Qingshi Mountain on the border. He is currently unconscious. If he does not receive timely treatment, he will not make it to tomorrow night."
"Nanxun, what should we do?!"
Lin Qing had been listening quietly ever since Gu Nanxun asked the system. Now that she heard the system say that she wouldn't make it to tomorrow night, Lin Qing was instantly worried again. She was a little lost and didn't know what to do. She had the system, but she was so far away that she couldn't get there at all!
"Zhao Chun!"
From the moment Lin Qing exclaimed, Zhao Chun had been sitting quietly to the side. Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's call, he immediately came over.
"Zhao Chun, does your uncle have connections at the border?"
"Yes, but..."
"Come out here for a moment, I need to ask you something."
After saying that, Gu Nanxun patted Lin Qing on the back and then led Zhao Chun out of the cave.
"Is it possible to contact someone?"
"I don't know, we can try, but we're stuck on the mountain right now and can't leave."
Zhao Chun looked up at the foot of the mountain. Both of their routes down the mountain were flooded, making it impossible to cross. Even if they could contact each other, they couldn't leave this place to do so!
"Go and explain the situation. I'll find a way to get you to the county town in a bit."
After saying that, Gu Nanxun walked towards the cave. "Qingqing, I'll take Zhao Chen to the county town in a bit, you..."
Gu Nanxun hesitated, unsure whether to have Lin Qing wait there or take her with him.
I'll go with you.
Lin Qing knew what Gu Nanxun was going to say, and she couldn't put her mind at ease. No matter where he went, she wanted to go with him.
"Okay, let's go together."
"Third Brother, I'm leaving here with Lin Qing in a little while. Don't worry, Third Brother. Just stay here and wait patiently. Once the water recedes, we can go back."
"Nanxun, where are you going? Third brother will go with you."
Lin Qing woke up with a start, and Chen Aihua woke up as well. He knew that Nan Xun and the others were in trouble and he couldn't stop them, but he wanted to go and help. He had finally found his fourth brother and didn't want to see him in danger.
"Don't worry, Third Brother, I'll be fine. Trust me."
Gu Nanxun patted his third brother on the shoulder and refused, saying that going out at this time would involve some of Lin Qing's secrets, and he could not take his third brother with him.
"Are we really not allowed to go?"
Undeterred, Chen Aihua continued to ask.
"Sorry, Third Brother!"
Soon, Zhao Chun's arrangements were completed, so Gu Nanxun led Lin Qing and Zhao Chun down the mountain under the cover of night.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Gu Nanxun launched a speedboat into the water and helped Lin Qing and Zhao Chun board it together.
Lin Qing already knew Gu Nanxun's plan, so she wasn't surprised. However, Zhao Chun was incredibly curious about the ship beneath her, but knew she couldn't ask too many questions.
The speedboat traveled very fast, and taking advantage of the darkness, they quickly arrived in the county town. The post office in the county town was not open, so they went directly to Wang Dongsheng.
