Chapter 182: Ah Wei's decision
Ah Wei found us an hour later, and I informed him. Because my gas lamp is running out of power, it will be difficult for us to get out of here if there is no one to answer us.
During this time, Mu Xichun twitched and told me about her thrilling experience of being washed up by water from the upper reaches to here, which made me feel chills down my spine.
If it weren't for the good quality of the Porsche, if it weren't for the fact that the window glass happened to hit a boulder and broke when the car rolled in the flood, if it weren't for Mu Xichun's calm and rational enough, if it weren't for a piece of dead wood floating over after she climbed out of the window, even if there was a little bit of this, the result would be unimaginable.
After listening to Mu Xichun's story, I really believe in the existence of gods, if everything is just a coincidence, I really can't believe that a person's luck will be so good!
Ah Wei cried when he received my call, he is a man with a true temperament, he does not hide his emotions, it can be seen that his feelings for Mu Xichun are not inferior to mine.
The moment he saw Mu Xichun, his behavior was almost the same as I did at that time, and I controlled my emotions a little, and he hugged Mu Xichun and cried like a child, which made me a little moved.
Fortunately, Ah Wei's gas lamp still has enough power, and we will start to return after he calms down.
Although all three of us had different degrees of trauma, the good thing was that they were only skin injuries, and although they were embarrassed, they did not hinder our movements.
Ah Wei walked in front of the road with the lamp, and I protected Mu Xichun in the middle. The three of us held hands and struggled through a thorny bush.
The rain seemed to be heavier, the raindrops the size of beans smashed on the face and it hurt faintly, the sky thundered and flashed, and God seemed to be crazy to use this catastrophic way to wash the world, and even to this extent, he would not stop.
I thought we were safe, even though we were in the wilderness and there was a rushing flood on our side, but at least we were together now, and with enough care, it would not be a problem to return safely.
But this time I was overly optimistic, and as we staggered forward, an even greater danger was brewing, and it almost cost the lives of all three of us.
As soon as we reached the fork in the flood, my eyelids twitched violently again, and then my ears seemed to faintly catch a strange sound, but the rain was so heavy that I could not tell where the strange sound came from, and suddenly a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and in the tenths of a second when this lightning flashed and went out, I suddenly found that just above the mountain on our side, a huge stone rolled down sharply, and it happened to roll straight towards the three of us.
The moment I saw the boulder, I was terrified, the boulder was only a dozen meters away from us, and Ah Wei and Mu Xichun in front of me only looked down at the road, not realizing that the danger was close at hand.
At this moment, it was too late to give a warning, I yelled to be careful, and threw my body forward, pushing them forward, and the two of them were pushed forward by me with all my might, and I pushed them two meters away.
However, due to the inertia, I fell to the ground full of vines at the moment of pushing them out, and when I looked back, the boulder had rolled to my side, and I quickly retracted my legs, but at this critical moment, my left foot was entangled in the vines, and it was too late to retract.
The boulder rolled over my left leg with a bang and rolled into the flood with a loud bang, causing waves several meters high. I felt a sharp pain in my calf, and I let out a terrible scream of pain.
The lightning sliced through the sky again, and I was horrified to find one of my calves though
I couldn't see the specific injury through my pants, but it was in a shape that I couldn't do under normal conditions anyway, and I was shocked in my heart, and I immediately understood that my leg was only broken and could not be broken again.
Ah Wei and Mu Xichun heard my screams and knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly got up and came to me, and when the gas lamp in Ah Wei's hand shone on my left leg that couldn't help but tremble, both of them had frightened expressions on their faces.
Mu Xichun immediately cried when she saw this scene, and kept wiping the rain on my face while holding me in her arms.
I gritted my teeth to control the sharp pain in my legs, and slowly pulled the warehouse pipe up, and what came into my eyes was a bloody mess, and the originally straight calf was now in an obtuse V-shaped shape from the middle to the vertice, which was shocking to watch.
Mu Xichun cried even more when she saw this, and said in a sad tone while crying: "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you get out of the way......"
I endured the pain and squeezed out a smile at her and said, "I'm fine!" It's just that the leg is broken, and it won't be fatal! He turned to Ah Wei, who was checking my injuries, and said, "Ah Wei, I'm afraid the road behind will bother you to help me go!" ”
Ah Wei frowned, looking at me with a faint trace of unbearability, he handed the gas lamp to Mu Xichun and said to me: "I will carry you on your back on the next road!" Trust me, we'll be back safe! ”
I just wanted to refuse, thinking that if I was really eight meters tall and let him carry it, I was afraid it would be difficult to walk back, but Ah Wei couldn't help but say that I pulled me up and picked me up, and my broken leg was almost out of breath after this movement.
It was extremely difficult to walk through the forest, but at this moment I became a burden among the three of them, and it was even more difficult to walk, not to mention that Ah Wei's physical strength was already too exhausted, and he was carrying me at the moment, and he was already out of breath after a few steps.
However, the situation was not at worst by this moment, and soon after we passed the fork we found that the flood level was so much higher than when it came, that the slope that had been close to the water's edge could barely be passed, and now the flood had completely submerged the slope that was not much.
Going up is a steep cliff that is almost in a straight line, and it is almost impossible to climb it.
I was secretly alarmed that this situation must have caused the water level to increase dramatically due to the breach of the river embankment upstream.
The three of us couldn't help but stand on the spot when we saw this scene. I struggled to get off Ah Wei's back, looking at the flood in front of me, I couldn't help but feel gloomy, and I was afraid that it was impossible to go back the way I came.
"Looks like we won't be able to go back tonight! Let's find a safe place and wait until tomorrow dawn to find a way to go back! I said with frustration.
"No way!" Mu Xichun heard my words and immediately objected, although she tried her best to hold back, I still heard a trace of crying in her voice.
"Your leg wound like this must be healed immediately, and if you wait until tomorrow, I am afraid the consequences will be terrible! Gotta find a way back tonight! Mu Xichun said in an unusually firm tone.
"Xichun is right, your leg is too badly injured, if you don't deal with it in time, even if you don't get infected, I'm afraid that bleeding will kill you, and if you are infected, I'm afraid that this leg will not be saved!" Ah Wei's words were very calm.
Mu Xichun couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand when she heard Ah Wei's words, and couldn't help but cry. I felt a lot of pain in my heart, and reached out to wrap my arms around her shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, I've been strong since I was a child, and I'll be fine one night!" ”
I say this, but in fact, how can I not know the seriousness of my broken leg? Ah Wei is not exaggerating at all, depending on the situation, my leg is not only broken bones, but also the muscle tissue and meridians are probably not much better, and the risk of infection in this environment is afraid
It won't be too low, if it is infected, I am afraid that the consequences will be really unimaginable as Ah Wei said.
Is there just a better way right now? I really can't think of any effective way to do it other than sit back and wait.
"You don't have to say any more! I won't listen to you again this time! Mu Xichun finally couldn't help crying.
After speaking, he said to Ah Wei: "Ah Wei, what can you do?" If you can, you can bring him over, and I can stay here until dawn, but he must go back!" ”
Ah Wei turned around and looked at Mu Xichun quietly, and he couldn't see Ah Wei's expression clearly in the fading light, but judging from the resolute outline of his face, it seemed that he had made a big decision in his heart.
Ah Wei slowly retracted his gaze, helped me sit on a stone, took the gas lamp in Mu Xichun's hand and said, "Wait for me for a while!" After saying that, I turned around and went to the rear, I had doubts in my heart, I didn't know what he was going to do, but looking at his unquestionable expression, I finally didn't ask.
After a while, Ah Wei came back, only to see him come back with a few slender rattans in his hands, and then handed the lamp back to Mu Xichun, and he braided a few rattans into a long rope without saying a word, and he buried his head in the movements in his hands, and did not seem to intend to inform us of his plan.
But I had already guessed an idea, and my eyes widened when I looked at the flood that was even more raging than when I came.
"Ah Wei!" I tentatively asked, "Wouldn't that be too risky?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm a professional swimmer, and I've represented Chinese students abroad to participate in swimming competitions and won awards, and I'm confident to bring you all over!"
Ah Wei didn't look up at me when he spoke, he was busy with the movements in his hands, but his tone was calm and calm, and he sounded unusually determined, as if he was completely sure of his idea.
I looked at Mu Xichun again, only to see her staring at Ah Wei blankly, and she couldn't speak for a while.
Ah Wei quickly braided a long rope, then tied one end of the rope to his waist, and then couldn't help but tie Mu Xichun's waist to the rope.
"Ah Wei, I can wait until tomorrow, you bring him back first, I'll ...... I really can! Mu Xichun seemed to be a little resistant.
Ah Wei's hands tied the rope paused, and he looked up at Mu Xichun, but he didn't speak, just looked at her like this, and Mu Xichun couldn't help but lower his voice. Then he continued to bow his head and tie the rope around Mu Xichun's waist, and this time Mu Xichun did not resist again.
After tying Mu Xichun, it was my turn, I wanted to say something, but seeing Ah Wei's resolute attitude, I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.
Indeed, now is not the time to be hypocritical, instead of staying here and taking the risk of infection, it is better to take a risk, if Ah Wei is really sure to take us over, it will be the best ending, if you choose to stay where you are for the night and cause the wound to become infected and finally have to be disabled, I would rather choose to take this risk.
All I'm worried about is this, Mu Xichun also took risks with me, which made me a little uneasy, but let her stay here overnight I and Ah Wei's views are the same, either stay together, or go together, leaving behind your companions to escape alone is not a man's doing, besides, Ah Wei and I both love Mu Xichun deeply, how can we put her in danger after finding her after going through hardships?
