"My grandmother is sick and bleeding from the mouth. My uncle has already gone down the mountain with Boss Wan. He told me to come up and take you down."
Wang Lin looked at the exceptionally beautiful Fang Yanxi. At only eighteen years old, he felt a little shy and embarrassed, as she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Fang Yanxi raised an eyebrow and asked, "How long have they been gone?"
Wang Lin looked back, but Wan Yunting and Wang Meng were nowhere in sight. "About ten minutes."
Seeing this, Fang Yanxi stood up. Her phone rang, it was Wan Yunting calling. "Yanxi, it's about to rain. Hurry down the mountain."
"Okay, we'll head down now."
Fang Yanxi replied, realizing she had delayed them by talking. She nodded at Wang Lin, and the two began to descend.
However, being a woman and having exerted herself climbing up, Fang Yanxi's pace downhill was very slow. Wang Lin could only accompany her, staying to her left and behind...
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck, accompanied by deafening thunder. Fang Yanxi trembled, looking up at the overcast sky. It was only a little past two in the afternoon, but it was as dark as night. This made Fang Yanxi feel a little fearful, but she, being proud, wouldn't show it in front of others. "It's going to rain soon, let's hurry..."
"Alright..."
Wang Lin nodded, muttering to himself: *You're the one walking slowly, otherwise I would have already run down the mountain...*
Pitter-patter...
Large raindrops began to fall on the leaves of the surrounding trees on the mountain...
In an instant, a torrential downpour started. Fang Yanxi, who hadn't even reached the halfway point of the mountain, became anxious. She and Wang Lin quickly opened their pre-prepared umbrellas, not expecting the rain to come so suddenly...
Wan Yunting and Wang Meng, with their faster legs, had already returned to the base at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing such heavy rain, Wan Yunting grew worried. He looked up at the mountain, unsure of where Fang Yanxi had gotten to...
"Boss Fang, don't rush, walk slowly..."
Wang Lin looked at Fang Yanxi, whose steps were unsteady. He really wanted to help her up, but he didn't dare.
"It's fine..."
Fang Yanxi held the umbrella with her right hand, waved dismissively, and continued to descend. However, the rain grew heavier, and with the darkness all around, her nervous heart began to flutter...
She regretted taking that phone call and delaying, getting separated from the man...
"It's alright, Boss Wan. My nephew is here. He'll bring Boss Fang down," Wang Meng said to Wan Yunting, who was sitting behind him on a tricycle.
He was now concerned about his mother and was descending the mountain rapidly in the pouring rain...
Wan Yunting gazed at the mountain under the downpour, his brows furrowed deeper. He suddenly regretted leaving Fang Yanxi alone on the mountain, a stranger's concern appearing in his heart. He hoped Fang Yanxi could descend safely...
Meanwhile, Fang Yanxi and Wang Lin, who hadn't reached the halfway point of the mountain yet, found the rain intensifying, and the mountain path becoming slippery. With a yelp, Fang Yanxi's flat shoes slipped, and she fell directly onto the pine needles...
"Boss Fang, are you alright?"
Wang Lin quickly went to help her. Fang Yanxi, wincing in pain, frowned and looked at her jade-like hand, which had been scratched by the dry branches on the ground. The pain didn't make her hesitate for long. Resilient, she held up her umbrella and got up, shaking her head, "I'm fine, let's hurry down the mountain..."
"Oh."
Seeing that she didn't need his help, Wang Lin could only give up.
Down the mountain, Wan Yunting and Wang Meng had already returned to his home. Chen Huifen had invited the doctor from the village clinic to treat his mother. Wan Yunting was worried about Fang Yanxi's safety, but he still entered the room...
Wang Meng had already arranged for a car to take his mother to the county hospital for treatment, braving the rain.
Given the critical condition of the elderly woman, Wan Yunting had to intervene. The rain was too heavy, and he stepped in, using acupuncture to stabilize Wang Meng's mother's condition...
"Whoa, her blood pressure has really gone down."
The village doctor, seeing that Wan Yunting had merely inserted a few needles, was astonished as the elder's blood pressure and heart rate stabilized, earning praise from both him and Wang Meng.
"Boss Wang, your mother is temporarily out of critical danger."
Wan Yunting exhaled slightly. He had used his internal energy to stabilize the elder's sudden condition. "Wait until the rain stops before taking your mother to the hospital."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Boss Wan. I didn't expect your medical skills to be so amazing..."
Wang Meng was extremely grateful. He regretted his earlier misjudgment, thinking that Wan Yunting, being young, wouldn't know any medicine.
"This rain is really heavy."
Looking at the continuous downpour outside, it had been almost an hour.
Wan Yunting's brows were tightly knit. He quickly took out his phone to call Fang Yanxi. After a few rings, she answered. Hearing the splashing rain on the other end, Wan Yunting shouted, "Yanxi, have you come down yet?"
Fang Yanxi, still on the mountain, also responded loudly, "Not yet, the rain is too heavy, and the road is too slippery... Ah, this is bad, there's a landslide..."
"What..."
Upon hearing landslide, Wan Yunting's heart skipped a beat. Then, there was no more sound from Fang Yanxi. At this point, Wan Yunting was completely frantic, and Wang Meng and the others also became anxious. "Boss Wan, I'll take you up the mountain now..."
"Okay."
Wan Yunting's face was grim, his heart filled with panic and anxiety. He kept murmuring for Fang Yanxi to be alright...
"Ah, how are you..."
On the mountain, due to the heavy rain, a landslide occurred halfway up. Fang Yanxi was sitting on the ground, soaked to the bone, clutching a large tree tightly with both hands. She watched as Wang Lin, who had slipped, fell a considerable distance down the mountain. Fang Yanxi's face turned pale with fright. Her heart was filled with tension and fear as she repeatedly called out to Wang Lin below.
"I, I'm fine, just my leg is injured..."
Wang Lin, below, turned his head and shouted forcefully to Fang Yanxi above.
Fortunately, the landslide occurred below them. If Fang Yanxi had gone a little further, and the landslide had come down, both of them would have been swept away...
"You quickly find a place to hide. The path below is gone."
Wang Lin looked at the path they had taken, which was now broken by the landslide. His thigh had been scraped when he rolled down, and he couldn't move it now.
"What about you..." Fang Yanxi shouted from above.
"I'm fine now. My uncle and the others will surely come to rescue us later."
Wang Lin, holding his thigh, turned and yelled to Fang Yanxi above, "You quickly go to the east side of the mountain. There's a cliff there, and it won't landslide. When my uncle and the others come, I'll tell them to look for you."
"Okay, you hang in there."
Fang Yanxi shouted, scrambling to get up. However, the ground was slippery, and she fell again, her knee hitting the ground. The pain forced her to bite her lip, and she managed to get up again. Following Wang Lin's advice, she crawled towards the east side of the mountain...
When she slipped earlier, her phone and umbrella had also fallen. Her phone was long gone, which made Fang Yanxi very fearful, as she didn't even have a chance to call the man.
Now, she could only find a safe place to wait for the man to come up the mountain to rescue her...
