’Hiss…’ The sudden pain caught He Xun off guard. He sucked in a cold breath. “Wei’er, don’t use so much force.”
However, Chen Wei’er was unresponsive. She did not let go at all. He Xun thought that maybe the wind drowned his voice… He moved his shoulders, and the hand of Chen Wei’er slowly loosened.
“Wei’er, you grabbed me just now. I couldn’t use any strength,” He Xun explained to his wife with a loud voice and continued to climb up. He was like a snail with a heavy shell on his back—climbing up bit by bit.
Although it was very slow, He Xun did manage to do it bare-handed. Of course, this was also thanks to his hard training.
Meanwhile, Chen Wei’er was out of it. The scene of He Xun entering the army for training appeared in her mind. She was extremely anxious. It was as if she could see the gloomy weather and He Xun, who always stayed at the back. He was covered in sweat as he gritted his teeth to persevere. In spite of his condition, he still motivated his comrades…
Somehow, Chen Wei’er knew He Xun would fall and lose his life!
“No, don’t!” Chen Wei’er muttered. “Be careful… You’ll get hurt! You’ll really get hurt! Please, can you give more importance to your life? Slow down…”
…..
He Xun could hear his wife’s words, but he could not make out the whole sentence. He Xun blinked hard a few times to focus his attention. He said, “Wei’er, 1 can’t hear what you’re saying. Can you tell me once we reach the top?”
Perhaps it was because the wind was too strong, but after He Xun used all his strength to shout this sentence, he did not hear anything else. Even so, He Xun did not think too much about it. He thought that Chen Wei’er decided to keep quiet. There was only one thought in his mind now, and that was to climb up with Chen Wei’er! They could only survive if they went up.
Thanks to He Xun’s time in the special forces, he had experience climbing mountains. He had also trained with weights, so it was not difficult for him to carry Chen Wei’er up. But what he did not expect was the uncontrollable weather.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and gradually, sand and stones rolled down. He Xun clung tightly to the cliff as he tried not to let the debris hit them.
He Xun’s progress began to slow down as he avoided the obstacles.
Chen Wei’er still had a trace of consciousness. She also noticed that He Xun’s speed turned increasingly slower. Just as she was about to say something, another gust of wind blew over!
He Xun quickly stuck close to the cliff—afraid that the stone would hit his head. However, the more he feared it, the more it happened! A rock hit his wife’s head.
Chen Wei’er groaned, and her consciousness began to slip away. Those strange voices appeared in her ears again.
Chen Wei’er was certain that she had never heard them before, nor had she seen such a scene. However, for some reason, a familiar voice kept playing in her ears. The owner of this voice was He Xun.
But…wasn’t He Xun climbing up with her on his back?
Who was talking? Chen Wei’er slightly narrowed her eyes and sparingly shook her head. She didn’t know how to stop it.
Chen Wei’er bit her lower lip. Her mind was a mess, and her heartbeat quickened!
He Xun, who was carrying Chen Wei’er and trying hard to climb, was already covered in a layer of cold sweat. He had been working hard for more than half an hour, but he barely managed to cover five meters. Given the circumstances, He Xun’s strength was already commendable.
However, He Xun also understood that at this speed, he would probably lose his strength and fall off the cliff before he could reach the top. Both of them would be smashed into meat pies! The pain in his arm and the pressure on his back hurt. He felt as if he was bearing a thousand pounds of weight.
He Xun gritted his teeth and carried Chen Wei’er on his back. He reached up with his right hand and grabbed the stone on it again. He and Chen Wei’er relied on his right arm to pull them up. After grabbing with his right hand, He Xun stretched out his foot and stepped up.
He Xun assumed his footing was firm, so he stretched out the other foot…
In the end, he missed it!
The two of them fell rapidly!
Chen Wei’er couldn’t think until He Xun grabbed a vine amidst the danger! The two of them hung on a vine.
He Xun squeezed out a voice and asked, “Wei’er, are you okay?”
