As dawn broke, the rain had lessened considerably compared to yesterday, but it was still drizzling on and showed no signs of stopping.
It had rained all night, and through the cave entrance, one could vaguely see that the deep mountains were shrouded in mist.
Lin Yang was awakened by the sound of raindrops outside.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in Xu Chengzhi's arms.
Xu Chengzhi, whether he hadn't slept all night or had been awake for a long time, propped his chin up with his hand and stared intently at her sleeping face for a long time.
That gaze was like looking at a delicious dessert that is both visually appealing and unpalatable, blunt and unrestrained.
"You...I..." Lin Yang pointed at him, then at herself, unable to explain herself.
fraud!
He even said he wasn't interested in her, but he'd already slept with her all night!
Lin Yang angrily pushed him away, turned over, and faced away from him.
"Ugh." Xu Chengzhi's wound was aggravated by her reckless push, and he groaned in pain, his face growing even paler.
Hearing his muffled groan, Lin Yang forgot all her lingering resentment and turned over to check his wound.
"What's wrong? Did I push too hard? Let me see." Lin Yang bent down to look at her legs.
They then discovered that the cave had accumulated more and more water due to the rain overnight, especially around Xu Chengzhi's legs where the water was most severe.
Last night, Xu Chengzhi's injured leg was almost entirely submerged in water.
Where did he sleep last night? He was in so much pain it was almost impossible to sleep!
And because she was afraid of disturbing her sleep, she has kept quiet until now.
The swelling from soaking in the water caused the fabric strips on his calves to almost burst open.
It just started bleeding again because of the pulling.
Gently unwrapping the bandages covering the wound, I discovered that the wound underneath was more serious than it appeared.
The wound was festering and oozing pus, which was stained with some red.
"It's so serious, why didn't you say anything? Xu Chengzhi, you always say I'm stupid, but I think you're the complete idiot!" Lin Yang scolded him, but her eyes couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
His lips were pale, but he still forced a weak smile, "I...can still hold on..."
Can't hold on my ass! All I know is how to pretend to be strong!
Would it kill you to worry people a little?
Lin Yang glanced around the cave and found that it was almost entirely filled with water, and water was still flowing down the slope from the cave entrance.
Only the spot where she slept remained dry.
A warm feeling welled up in Lin Yang's heart.
No! Now is not the time to be sentimental. If Xu Chengzhi's leg isn't treated soon, it'll definitely be ruined!
We need to get out of this awful place!
However, it was still raining outside, and his legs would definitely get infected if he went out. Besides, he could hardly move. It would be fine if he went out by himself, but if he went out with him, how long would it take?
However, I went out alone, and I have a terrible sense of direction, otherwise I wouldn't have been unable to find my way out for so long!
Sitting here waiting to die is certain death, going out is also certain death, but at least there is some hope.
Never mind, let's take Xu Chengzhi out first!
His leg can't be delayed any longer!
Lin Yang lowered her head and thought for a long time. She looked up, intending to tell Xu Chengzhi the result of her thinking.
Just a second ago, he was forcing a smile, but then his wrist slipped, his eyelids tired and closed, and he fainted right in front of Lin Yang.
"Xu Chengzhi!" Lin Yang exclaimed and rushed forward to check.
She placed her palm on his forehead and touched something burning hot.
He has a fever!
No, I absolutely cannot stay here like this!
Lin Yang grabbed his hands and put them on her shoulders, trying to drag him out.
