Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 12)
“Ouch! Help…quick, help me…ouch!”
“Uncle Li! Uh…”
Jiang Dacai reaches out to grab Old Man Li, but he isn’t fast enough to catch up with the rolling speed. The two tumble down the slope together, clutching each other.
“Big brother, big brother! Where are you?”
Jiang Xiaocai panics and instinctively calls out for his big brother, quickly following them.
Unfortunately, the torch in his big brother’s hand goes out as they tumble, leaving him to move forward completely relying on his instinct and stumbling along the way.
Splash! Splash-
Old Man Li and Jiang Dacai roll down the slope and eventually land in the water.
The crisp sound of them hitting the water echoes. It appears that they are not too far away from him.
“Cough cough…cough cough cough… Save…me!”
Barely managing to poke his head out of the rapids, Old Man Li calls for help.
“Big brother! Big brother, where are you? Say something! Wait for me, I’ll come and save you right away!”
Jiang Xiaocai finally finds the water and instinctively reaches out to grope around in it.
“Save me—cough, cough…”
Old Man Li’s voice comes from not far away.
“Old Man Li, where’s my big brother? Why hasn’t he said anything?”
In the darkness, Jiang Xiaocai intuitively asks his most curious question.
“Cough! I found him! I found him!”
Excitement fills Old Man Li’s voice for a moment before it turns to hesitation, “But your big brother seems to have passed out. I don’t know if he hit his head on some rocks along the way… Cough, cough…”
“Nonsense! Didn’t you both fall together? How come only my big brother passed out, but you’re fine?”
Jiang Xiaocai asks intuitively.
“I don’t know either. Big brother, big brother, wake up, wake up!”
Old Man Li’s calls can be heard.
“Where’s the tinder? Light it up quickly!” Jiang Xiaocai urges impatiently.
With a faint sound of blowing, a tiny spark finally shines in the darkness, allowing the two to see their surroundings.
They are next to a rushing stream, and the tramp’s big brother indeed lies unconscious on a rock by the shore, not moving. Old Man Li squats not far away from him, holding the flint and squinting around.
“You old scoundrel! How dare you harm my big brother!”
Jiang Xiaocai rushes over and pounces at Old Man Li.
“Ouch! Ouch, let go, let go! I didn’t do anything to your big brother, you can’t wrong a good person!” Old Man Li tries to explain.
“You damned old man, shut up! Don’t think I don’t know that you’re always plotting against us. Tell me, how did you harm my big brother?” His fists are relentless, each landing with a thud.
“Ouch! Your big brother is still alive. How can you say that I’ve harmed him? You’d better get this straight!” Old Man Li tries to defend himself.
“He’s still alive?” Jiang Xiaocai finally stops his assault.
