Chapter 287: Spending the Night Together (1) (2/2)

Chu Lian wailed and collapsed on the ground. Without any support, the comatose He Changdi also fell- right on top of her.

Chu Lian wanted to cry from frustration. She stared at the man’s broad shoulders and hit him twice, complaining, “Why do you have to be so big?”

Her complaints were just to vent some frustration. Chu Lian really couldn’t bear to leave her saviour out in the rain, especially not in a random forest in the mountains. He had already been poisoned and was currently comatose. If he really got drenched by this bout of winter rain, he definitely wouldn’t wake up at all.

So, Chu Lian gritted her teeth and climbed up, pushing herself off the dry leaves of the forest floor.

She managed to prop the man up against a nearby tree trunk, and after a moment of thought, she also took off her large cloak and wrapped it around the man.

Although the cloak wouldn’t be able to keep all of the rain off him, she couldn’t let him get battered by it directly.

After Chu Lian finished doing all that, she rubbed her trembling arms and walked deeper into the forest.

This time, it took her an hour before she came back. Right at this time, He Changdi woke up for a short moment. He tugged groggily at the cloth obscuring his vision. His eyelids felt like they were covered in lead, and as he squinted through them, he caught sight of a familiar little figure dragging a crudely fashioned stretcher made from vines behind her.

He wanted to stay awake a little longer, but his body felt like it was on fire. He couldn’t control his mind and quickly fell back into unconsciousness.

Chu Lian didn’t think to check the man’s condition. She placed the crude stretcher next to He Sanlang and rolled him onto it. The rain was getting heavier now, and as Chu Lian looked up at the sky, she knew she would have to hurry. After heaving a hapless sigh, she took up the vines to pull the stretcher and started heading towards the cave she had found.

With the help of the stretcher, it was much easier to shift the man. However, even so, an hour had passed before they managed to reach the entrance of the cave.
