Then she quickly moved over and placed her hand on the shoulder of the dark human figure. Through her gritting teeth, she mustered all her strength to turn the black figure over, and took out her torchlight. Xu Weilai let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw the face where she flashed her torchlight.
“A cat has nine lives”, seemed that she too was as lucky as a cat. She was fortunate too because although she fell down the slope, she found her Big Boss and was now with him.
It made all the sense now why did he not descend the mountain. He had probably slipped and fallen down the slope. However, his luck wasn’t as good as hers as he hit his head and passed out.
Xu Weilai moved the torchlight towards his forehead. There was a large cut on his forehead with the blood from the cut washed clean by the rain. The wound seemed inflamed as it was swollen, and in addition to his dreadfully pale face, the scene looked pretty alarming to her.
She instinctively reached out to check for Zuo An’s breathing and was instantly relieved when she felt his shallow breathing. Although it was very weak, at least he was still breathing.
She put her hand over Zuo An’s forehead to check for his temperature and felt it burning, especially when they were both drenched and cold in the heavy rain.
The wound was inflamed, and he was having a fever. They needed to descend immediately and sought medical help.
Fortunately, she brought a first-aid kit with her, which contained some basic medications. Xu Weilai held the torchlight in her mouth and pulled open her backpack to find what she needed. She cleaned the wound on Zuo An’s forehead and applied the medicine to the wound with a cotton ball.
Zuo An stirred as the medicine touched his wound. It could probably have stung him back to consciousness as his body gave a shiver and high eyelids showed some slight movement.
Xu Weilai no longer cared whether or not it would cause him pain as being in pain seemed to be the better choice than being dead.
She picked up the mesh gauze, tore out a small piece of it, and placed it against his wound. After she was done dressing up his wound, she patted his face and shouted, “Big Boss, wake up. I’m giving you some anti-inflammatory medicine.”
Xu Weilai then took out two pills, forced his mouth open, and stuffed the pills down his throat. With one hand, she supported him to sit up while she fed him bottled water with the other.
Fortunately, he wasn’t completely unconscious. She watched his Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed the pills.
Xu Weilai took a look at her phone and realized that it was already past five in the morning. However, the wind and rain had shown no sign of slowing down. Moreover, they would only get stronger after daybreak according to Qiao Chu.
She could not delay any longer.
She rested against the big rock for five minutes to regain some strength, then took off her raincoat and wrap it around Zuo An. It was a male raincoat, thus was able to cover him from the head down.
Xu Weilai sized up Zuo An’s figure and found him to be relatively slim. She reckoned that she should be able to carry him for a good stretch of the way.
If they were lucky, they might meet the rescue team or Qiao Chu on their way down the mountain. If they weren’t as lucky…, she could only carry him all the way down on her own between rest.
Xu Weilai took a deep breath. She first helped Zuo An to sit up and rested him against a big piece of rock. Then she squatted in front of him, grabbed his two arms, and put them over her shoulders. She slowly got up and started carrying him up the slope.
He was after all a grown man, thus he was still heavy for her even though he was slim built. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and went on, one step after another.
With the howling wind and pouring rain, even though her body was icy cold, she could feel huge drops of clammy sweat rolled down her forehead.
Xu Weilai thought to herself, she had never done that much for Gu Yu. Her Big Boss had gotten himself a real bargain.
