Any movement around would make Zhao Tong afraid. Zhou Yunwan tried her best to calm her down, but her own waist was also hurting terribly.
Zhao Tong fell into the swamp, which provided some cushioning, but she also fell hard on the tree. It was so painful, and she didn't know if any important parts of her body were injured.
The tree trunk was covered in snow and was very slippery. There was no place to gain leverage. To prevent herself from sliding, she could only hold on to the trunk tightly with both hands. Soon, her hands became numb and it was extremely difficult for her to move. She couldn't even hold on steadily.
While waiting for rescue, time seemed to go extremely slow.
They could only comfort each other by talking.
Zhou Yunwan tried hard to find a topic to talk about and curse Gao Menglan with her. On the one hand, it was to divert her attention so that she would not be frozen to death and lose consciousness. On the other hand, she also hated Gao Menglan so much that her teeth were itching.
Zhao Tong sobbed and couldn't help but think wildly: "Do you think Gao Menglan will just abandon us here? She is such a madman, she would definitely do it!"
"Wuwuwu, I will definitely slap her hard a few times when I get up there, damn it."
"Then I will slap her a few times too." Zhou Yunwan tried to agree with a smile, but as soon as she finished speaking, she had to bite her lower lip tightly, but she still couldn't avoid the painful moan from spilling out of her mouth.
...
...
The pain in her lower back and the cold weather made her voice lower and lower until she could hardly hold on.
Just as she was about to fall into coma, two lights flashed in the distance.
She heard Zhao Tong's joyful voice: "Comrade Zhou, someone is here to save us!"
Zhou Yunwan curled her lips when she heard this: "That's great."
After saying this, she tried her best to glance in the direction where the light came from. In the dim light, a tall and familiar figure was running towards her.
She must be dizzy and dazed from the pain, otherwise how could she see Shen Yanli here.
She laughed at herself, and the next second, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she fell uncontrollably into the swamp below.
The noisy shouts around fell silent at that moment.

When Zhou Yunwan woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Zhou Yunwan stared blankly at the mottled white wall above her head. For a moment, she thought she had returned to the scene when she had just come to this world.
She almost froze to death at that time and woke up in a clinic like this one.
She took a few deep breaths and moved her arms, only to find that her body was stiffer than ever, but exceptionally warm.
Zhou Yunwan looked down and found that she was covered with a green military coat. It looked somewhat familiar, and there was a familiar scent of soap in the air...
Her consciousness gradually regained and her strength recovered a little. She remembered the scene before she fell into a coma and suddenly turned her head to look around.
Soon, her eyes caught sight of the man lying beside the bed, holding her hand tightly.
Even in his sleep, he slept restlessly, with his brows tightly furrowed, the wrinkles between his eyebrows forming a crooked Chinese character "川". The light from the window shone on his superior profile, casting a shadow.
Zhou Yunwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but move her fingers. The place where their skin touched felt hot and numb, entangled with each other for a long time and refused to dissipate.
Maybe he didn't sleep very deeply, or maybe he was concerned about her safety, so such a slight noise woke him up.
As the long and thick eyelashes blinked restlessly twice, the deep dark eyes slowly opened.
Their eyes met precisely in mid-air, and when Shen Yanli saw her wake up, he immediately sat up straight, leaned out half of his body to touch her forehead, and confirmed that her fever had subsided, then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you feel?" Shen Yanli leaned over to look at her, his fingertips gently stroking the top of her hair, his tone as gentle as if he was treating a fragile treasure.
Zhou Yunwan stared at him, stammered twice, and said with difficulty: "Not bad."
Feeling the dryness of her lips and throat, Zhou Yunwan frowned, and then thought of something and asked anxiously, "Where's Zhao Tong? How is she?"
After asking, I was afraid that he didn't know who I was talking about, so I added: "It's the girl who was with me."
Seeing that the first thing she did when she woke up was to care about others, Shen Yanli frowned even harder, and her expression became a little ugly, but she still answered truthfully: “She’s fine.”
His tone suddenly turned cold and hard, and it was hard for Zhou Yunwan not to notice it. She reached out to hold his hand, tugged on his fingers, softened her voice and changed the subject: "How long have I been unconscious?"
“Almost a day and a night.” When Shen Yanli mentioned this, his hands trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes were stained with a layer of crimson.
God knows how scared and panicked he was when he saw Wanwan fainting in front of him. It was as if the whole world had collapsed and there was only one thought in his mind.
He can't live without her, he can't lose her.
Zhou Yunwan took in his expression and was deeply moved. She couldn't help but put her arms around his waist, hugged him tightly and said, "I'm here."
Chen Yanli took the initiative and hugged her, greedily sucking the fragrant and soft breath of her hair, as if only in this way could he ensure that she was by his side and that she was still alive.
However, the tenderness between the couple lasted less than two seconds before the nurse in charge of the ward rounds came in.
Zhou Yunwan hastily pushed Shen Yanli away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes awkwardly, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
The nurse pretended she saw nothing and, adhering to her professional ethics, examined Zhou Yunwan's body with a stern face.
The scratches on her face were minor matters; the most serious injury was her waist injury.
As the nurse lifted up her clothes, Zhou Yunwan caught a glimpse of the large purple patch on her lower back. The color was very dark and looked very horrifying.
Her heart skipped a beat. No wonder she felt uncomfortable whenever she moved.
After the nurse checked her and applied medicine to her, she began to remind her: "The injury on the patient's waist did not hurt the bones. It's not serious, but it may affect her daily life."
"Family members should pay attention to this and not let the patient overwork, so as not to increase the burden on the waist."
Shen Yanli looked serious and immediately replied, “I will.”
The nurse did not doubt his concern after hearing this. After all, this family member had been staying with the patient closely since the patient was brought here in the morning.
It's rare to find someone who is so handsome and dotes on his wife so much.
The nurse smacked her lips enviously, gave a few more instructions, then packed up and left.
Next, Zhou Yunwan learned from Shen Yanli that after she was rescued, she developed a high fever and stayed in the health center in Chenjiagou for a night. This morning, she was immediately transferred to the largest clinic in the county and was given an IV drip, and her condition improved.
The road to Chenjiagou was closed, and no one knew how he transferred her to the county town.
