Schimerling propped herself up, the pain from her injuries and lack of oxygen intensifying, causing her to collapse to the ground. The vivid memories of rescuing the child flooded back…

After an unknown amount of time, her pain subsided, and she stood up again, continuing her search for someone.

They could hear faint footsteps approaching from above.

"Is anyone here?"

Shu Xiangyu's weak voice was like sweet dew falling from the sky.

"sister…"

Exclamations of surprise echoed.

"Is it Momo?"

Her voice came through again.

Ximerlin staggered over in disbelief: "Sis, where are you?"

She didn't even have time to be happy, as she couldn't find her anywhere on the road.

"Mo Mo, I...I fell into this pit...I'm here, here."

Shu Xiangyu's voice was choked and trembling as he tried to make a sound to attract her attention.

Schimerlin followed the sound and, in the dim light, saw that she had indeed fallen into a depression more than a meter deep.

"Sis, are you hurt?"

"My right leg must be injured..."

The two finally found each other, and were both excited but dared not show it too obviously.

"Don't be afraid, wait for me, I'll go find something to get you up."

Schimerling quickly turned and ran away to another place.

Shu Xiangyu wiped away her tears and tried to stand up, but her leg injury made it almost impossible for her to stand.

There's nobody around here, and there's no way to get back to the outpost to call for help; it would definitely waste a lot of time going back and forth.

Fortunately, Schimerling found some abandoned iron railings on the road, which could be used as a makeshift ladder.

But as soon as she tried to drag it away, she discovered that the more than one-meter-long iron fence was quite heavy.

She disregarded all that and gritted her teeth, using all her strength to drag herself along.

Fortunately, she has been training in armed cross-country at the brigade for many years, so these things are not too difficult for her.

The clanging sound of the rubber tires scraping against the ground was particularly jarring at that moment. Since she couldn't get any strength in one hand, she switched to the other, determined to drag the tires across no matter what.

When they finally arrived at the pit, Shimmering was exhausted and panting heavily. The high altitude and physical exhaustion were a great test of one's willpower.

"MoMo, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Her voice was clearly hoarse and weak, but she was trying to appear strong.

"Move over a little, and I'll lower the fence."

While worried, Shu Xiangyu listened to her and tried to move to the side.

Schimerling lifted the iron fence with all his might and carefully lowered it down. Although it wasn't as high as the pit, he could still reach it by using it as a stepping stone.

After she landed steadily, she immediately stepped onto the horizontal bar of the fence and went down to the bottom.

Having successfully reached her, Shu Xiangyu cupped her face in the dark, her cheeks and neck already soaked with sweat; it was unimaginable how tired she must have been.

"Where did you go? Why did you run around without saying goodbye? Do you know how worried I was? I thought you didn't want me anymore..."

Overwhelmed with joy at the reunion, she couldn't help but burst into tears, finally able to release her pent-up emotions. Aside from filming, she rarely sheds tears, yet she has cried countless times for this.

Xi Molin also felt a sense of relief, seeing her cry, she felt both heartache and tenderness, gently wiping away the tears on her cheeks and softly comforting her: "Don't cry, I just went to the village committee to find out what happened, I didn't go missing... Is there any bleeding on your leg? Is the injury serious?"

"I thought you were angry with me and were deliberately avoiding me. My phone was dead, and I couldn't reach you..."

The feeling of being abandoned was so devastating that she finally understood the pain of being broken up with back then. Perhaps this was retribution.

"Did you bleed a lot?"

Her right calf was temporarily bandaged with her coat, indicating a serious injury.

"It's alright, the bleeding has stopped. How are you?"

"Let's not talk about that now. Come on, I'll carry you back."

Schimerlin helped her up as he spoke.

"No need, you're still injured. Just help me walk."

Shu Xiangyu was afraid that if she carried her back, her injuries would worsen.

"I don't know how badly you're hurt yet. Listen to me, I'm in good health and not seriously injured. I can easily carry you."

Ignoring her objections, she turned her back and insisted on carrying her on her back.

Shu Xiangyu knew there was no other good way, so he had no choice but to comply.

When he picked her up, Schimerlin realized how light she was; she wasn't even as heavy as the iron fence.

Shu Xiangyu also felt incredibly safe and secure.

After finally climbing up, there's still a long way to go.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure I get you back safely and I won't get myself into any trouble."

"Don't push yourself. My leg injury is minor; your head injury is the real problem..."

The road was rough and uneven, and with her on his back, Shu Xiangyu was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it. She was stubborn and obstinate, and she almost never listened to advice on these matters.

"These are all important matters, regardless of their size."

Schimerlin seemed to have inexhaustible energy; even though it was somewhat strenuous, he returned even faster than before.

Neither of them dared to speak much, for fear of affecting their breathing.

In the silence, something seemed to be changing.

After finally returning to their encampment, Xi Molin called for a doctor and first helped Shu Xiangyu into the tent. She was exhausted and leaning against the bedside, panting heavily, her face flushed and sweating profusely.

"How are you?"

Shu Xiangyu was very worried about her condition.

"It's okay, you'll be fine after a while."

Schimerlin waved his hand.

The on-duty doctor rushed over and, upon seeing the wounded, instructed the nurses to immediately prepare the surgical supplies needed.

As the doctor removed the clothes binding his calf, he asked, "How did you get injured?"

"From falling..."

At a time when medical supplies are in short supply, she is only adding to the chaos, and I feel really bad about it.

The nurse then pushed the treatment cart over.

The doctor first laid out a sterile sheet, then put on disposable medical gloves: "Give me the scissors."

The nurse used tweezers to take out sterile scissors and handed them to him.

The doctor took the scissors and cut open Shu Xiangyu's right trouser leg, revealing a long, bloody, and deep cut on the outside.

Watching from the side, Xi Molin's gaze instantly tightened and became serious. She leaned forward slightly and asked, "Doctor, will my sister's injury leave a scar?"

The doctor took the iodine solution from the nurse and prepared to rinse the wound.

"The wound is a bit deep and needs to be stitched up. It will definitely leave a scar."

The doctor said, preparing to administer anesthesia.

Shu Xiangyu wore a hat the whole time, frowning, enduring the pain and daring not to look.

Xi Molin's eyes reddened. He sat down next to her, put his arm around her shoulder, and wanted to offer her comfort and support. His heart ached for her deeply.

She wouldn't have gone out to search for her under the cover of night if it weren't for the search.

As a celebrity, she often needs to wear beautiful gowns to walk the red carpet and attend events. If she is left with unsightly scars, she will be held responsible.

She watched as the doctor injected the anesthetic, then threaded the needle, and began stitching up the cleaned wound, one stitch at a time.

Each needle felt like a pricking wound to her body; she would rather be hurt herself than let her suffer any harm.

Shu Xiangyu nestled in her arms, holding her hand tightly the whole time.
