Chapter 1061 - Are You Dead (2/2)

Ye Xiaotao stood up.

“Ye Xiaotao,” Leng Hao grabbed her slender wrist. “You don’t have enough strength to drag me. Just give up…”

Ye Xiaotao flung his hand away angrily. “You’re a man, a real man. It’s so easy to just die. If you’re a real man, live on!”

After saying that, Ye Xiaotao picked up the two thick vines and placed them on her shoulders. Then, she dragged him forward.

But Leng Hao was right. She was too weak. She had been pampered since she was young and had never toiled with hard work. So even when she used all her strength, she wasn’t able to move the man an inch.

Ye Xiaotao could not open her eyes because of the rain. She refused to admit defeat. If she gave up, there would really be no hope left for Leng Hao. She would not give up.

Ye Xiaotao clenched her teeth and used all her strength. One, two, three. Finally, she was able to move the man behind her a little bit.

This was a good sign. Ye Xiaotao’s confidence increased. She kept it up and dragged Leng Hao forward with her little by little.

…

After a long time, Ye Xiaotao felt that her hands and feet, especially her shoulders, were no longer hers. Her body felt so cold and painful that she was almost numb.

She looked up and saw the small brick house in front of her. Great, she had finally reached her destination. Leng Hao was saved.

She threw down the thick vines and ran forward. She knocked on the door of the house and shouted, “Is anyone here? Is anyone here? Can anyone help me?”

The door opened with a creaking sound. A man in his forties opened the door. The man shouted impatiently, “Why would you knock on a rainy day? Get lost…”

The middle-aged man’s voice stopped abruptly because he saw Ye Xiaotao’s pretty face. His eyes instantly lit up.

“Uncle, I’m sorry to disturb you. My… husband and I got into an accident. My husband is injured. Can we shelter from the rain here?”

“Yes, of course,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

“Thank you so much, uncle. Thank you. Can you help me carry my husband in?”

“Okay.”

The middle-aged man and Ye Xiaotao carried Leng Hao into the house.

…

They placed Leng Hao on the wooden bed. Ye Xiaotao stood by the bed and said happily, “Leng Hao, wake up. We’re saved…”

Leng Hao’s eyes were closed. He did not respond to Ye Xiaotao’s exclamation.

Ye Xiaotao froze for a second. She touched the man’s handsome and cold face with her trembling hand. She murmured like she had lost her soul, “Leng Hao, open your eyes. Wake up. It’s very cold. You’ll catch a cold.”

As she spoke, Ye Xiaotao held Leng Hao’s big palm with her hands. She squeezed her hands, hoping to share some of her warmth. Tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. She sobbed softly, “Leng Hao, don’t scare me, okay? I dragged you all the way here. You’re about to be saved. Why don’t you open your eyes? Are you… dead?”
