Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Where Are We?
Very quickly, Gu Lingling’s attention was attracted by the scene in front of her, "Brother Yang, where... where are we?"
She only then realized that earlier, she was with Liu Yating and the others gathering wild vegetables in the mountains, and a wild boar appeared from nowhere and specifically chased after her.
Then, she fell.
Afterward, she was trapped in that strange dream and couldn’t get out.
And then, when she came out, she accidentally hit Yang Yunhai’s nose, giving him a bruise.
"This is a cave," Yang Yunhai said, watching her.
"A cave?" Gu Lingling said confusedly, and then she remembered that when she was falling, someone seemed to have held her, but she didn’t know what happened after that.
When she woke up again, she was in this cave.
"Yes." Yang Yunhai stood up and looked around the cave, "You rest here for a while, I’ll go outside and check the situation."
He didn’t tell her that at the moment they jumped, if he hadn’t quickly grabbed a vine, the two of them would have likely fallen.
And the vine couldn’t possibly hold the weight of two people.
At that time, Gu Lingling fainted, and Yang Yunhai had no choice, he had to hold onto the vine tightly with one hand while still holding her.
In the end, when the vine was about to break, it was he who acted as a cushion, holding Gu Lingling as they slid down along the slope.
And now, Yang Yunhai could still feel the burning pain on his back.
But compared to the injuries he had suffered before during his missions, these were nothing.
What he was most worried about was that after falling, although Gu Lingling wasn’t injured or had hit anything, she remained unconscious, and he couldn’t wake her no matter how hard he tried.
He had found this cave while holding her, at that time Yang Yunhai had a feeling, if he didn’t wake Gu Lingling up, this girl might not ever wake up again.
Might even leave him just like that.
Yang Yunhai was certain.
Clutching his still-thumping chest, Yang Yunhai walked out, but as he reached the cave entrance, Gu Lingling called out to him, "Brother Yang, I... I want to go out with you to take a look."
Leaving her alone here, just thinking about that earlier dream, Gu Lingling still felt a bit scared.
"Come on then." Actually, Yang Yunhai didn’t plan to go far; when he first came in, he had already observed the surroundings and found a spring at the valley bottom, very clear.
He planned to fetch some water for Gu Lingling to drink and see if there was any way out.
Now that she wanted to follow, it saved him from worrying.
"Be careful." Yang Yunhai handed her a small stick, "Hold onto this."
Then, he grasped it at the front to lead the way, and Gu Lingling held onto the back, the stick wasn’t very long, just enough for them to walk in a line like this.
Warmth spread in Gu Lingling’s heart.
But when she saw Yang Yunhai’s back, she froze, "Brother Yang, your back."
The girl held the stick with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
Yang Yunhai’s green military uniform was worn out at the back, and some parts were dark in color, wasn’t that because blood was seeping through?
"It’s nothing serious." Yang Yunhai’s body stiffened, from the time they came down till now, he hadn’t had time to check his back, but judging from the pain, it seemed serious enough.
"There’s a spring ahead, let’s go and get some water to drink, you can also wash your face." Yang Yunhai continued.
"Brother Yang... could you take off your shirt and let me take a look?" Gu Lingling had not come out of her shock yet, and upon hearing Yang Yunhai still thinking about her getting water, tears flowed incessantly.
It was the first time since she was reborn that she cried so sorrowfully.
