American Life

Chapter 158 72 hour

The instant shout made Charlie stand up immediately, push through the dense forest and walk in the direction of the source of the sound.

"Help!" Ivanie's voice became more urgent.

Pushing aside the bushes in front of her, she could see Ivani's solitary head sticking out, with one hand struggling to grasp the branch. It turned out that she accidentally fell into the hole covered by the bush branch.

Charlie walked over in three steps at a time, grabbed her arm, and lifted her up easily.

Ivanie was lying on the ground, gasping for air, her face turned pale.

“I didn’t expect that there would be a deep pit here.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a gap appeared on the ground behind the two of them, and the platform they were on lost its support and fell directly.

"Ah~" Ivanie screamed crazily, her voice gradually fading away...

·
There was moist water sliding down his face, and Charlie opened his eyes suddenly.

"You finally woke up!"

A voice came from beside her, it was Ivani's voice.

There was only a small opening in the sky above his head. Charlie stood up with support and saw Ivanie lying next to him, surrounded by a dark cave.

"Are you okay?" Ivanie was covered in mud and her face looked dirty. She kept a weird posture, obviously injured.

Charlie tried to move his body. Except for some pain in his chest, his whole body was fine. Thinking back to the scene before the danger, within a few seconds of weightless fall, he grabbed a vine extending from the cliff and slowed down slightly. The speed of fall.

"I'm fine, how are you?" Charlie squatted down to check Ivannie's injuries.

"The leg seems to be broken, and the other injuries are skin injuries." Her voice was trembling.

"I'll see if I can climb up to call for rescue." Charlie tried to grab the protruding stones in the steep cave cliff with his hands, but the surface was extremely wet and slippery, with moss attached to it, so he couldn't grab it at all.

Charlie tried several times in succession, but all failed.

"It seems we are really trapped here." Charlie said a little dejectedly.

"There is water here, which is enough for us to survive. Rescue will come." Ivanie tried to comfort her.

She had just dragged Charlie little by little to the position where the water was dripping, and let the water drip on Charlie's face before he woke up.

The equipment that Charlie started to check, his mobile phone was also broken. There were a few biscuits in the pocket of his coat, but they could only be used to pad his stomach. Although the glass on the wrist of the sports watch was broken, the inside was still intact. The time showed that one day and one night had passed since we just set off, and now it was the second day.

Thinking of this, Charlie took out the biscuits from his pocket, tore open the package and handed it to Ivanie.

Although she could be said to chew her food slowly, fearing that she would swallow it all at once, she only had a few biscuits and ate them up quickly.

"When did you wake up?" Charlie sat next to her and started to ask.

"I woke up a little earlier than you. At that time, it was still dark." Ivanie put her hands on the ground and turned herself into a lying position, so that she could see only a small patch of sky above her head. .

"It's seven o'clock in the morning. If everything goes well, the rescue team will be waiting for them soon." Charlie thought.

Taylor should have called the police at this time, and the national park search and rescue team was beginning to take action. It would not be long before the two were found.

"I hope so." Ivanie nodded.

Charlie even changed his position and lay side by side with Ivanie. He was not anxious at all. There was water in the cave and he could last for a long time.

"Is this some kind of special tryst?" Yvani joked.

"Of course, I will never forget it for the rest of my life." Charlie couldn't laugh or cry.

Being able to say such words at this time proves that Ivanie is quite relaxed.

The two began to talk nonsense. Charlie talked about shorting futures under pressure, and Ivanie mentioned her school days.

“Two of my close friends at that time have become full-time housewives, and one is also pregnant. Now I’m the only one left.”

"If no one really wants you, I can make do with it." Charlie followed.

"Tch, there are many people who like me." Ivany didn't care at all about Charlie's "pity".

"Perhaps your vision is too high?"

"I don't have high expectations. If you didn't have Taylor, maybe something would happen to us?" Ivanie said bluntly.

Now that the two of them were trapped here, she also spoke her mind.

As if she felt that her words had crossed the line, she added: "What I said at the moment was inspired by my feelings. Maybe after I leave here, the situation will change again."

Charlie didn't speak.

"Hey, you don't take it seriously, do you?" Ivanie's voice sounded a little urgent.

"Of course, what you say at this time is the truth." Charlie put his hands on the back of his head regardless of whether he was clean or not.

"As you like."

The conversation fell into a gap, and after a while Ivanie suddenly spoke again.

"You should try chatting with me to distract me. I'm really in pain." She complained, her brows already knitted together.

"Then what do you want to talk about? I don't have what you want to hear here, right?" Charlie began to search in his mind.

"That's not necessarily true. Just tell me your love history." Ivanie showed absolute curiosity about this matter, and turned slightly sideways to look at Charlie.

"I refuse to answer this question." Charlie rejected the proposal directly, turned sideways and looked at her: "Why don't we talk about yours?"

"What do I have to talk about?" Ivanie shook her head quickly.

"I'll tell you what you say." Charlie smiled.

"I don't believe you, you have to swear." Ivanie said with a wary look.

So Charlie began to swear, and then Ivanie followed up and said: "If you want to talk about it, you have to start talking about it from high school."

Then I heard her talking in detail about her young love affair in high school.

"Later I left school in order to participate in modeling training, and then I spent two years as a model."

"I know this part, you even appeared on the cover of the magazine."

"No, you don't know." Ivanie shook her head.

"That cover was just an exchange of friendship. In fact, my modeling career was a disaster. My training teacher privately said that I was a stiff corpse. Even robots were more coordinated than me. In addition to my father's arrangements, No company wanted me to do shows, and I didn’t make a dime in two years.”

"So you didn't return to school until later?"

"That's right, and I didn't take the exam and entered Norton Business School directly. If I really had to rely on my own efforts, I might not be able to pass the exam in my life." Ivanie said quite self-deprecatingly at this time.

"You haven't forgotten Professor Dumpless, have you?" She said suddenly again.
