Huo Chengan kept having a splitting headache, and his leg bones hurt as if someone was hitting him with a big axe.
There was no trauma to the epidermis, but that didn't mean he wasn't injured.
But he never mentioned these things to anyone.
He didn't even tell Shen An'an.
During this difficult march, Huo Chengan could feel chills all over his body. He must have had a fever.
He knew he had to find the cabin quickly or it would be over.
After looking at the position of the sun, it was already about 1 o'clock.
They had been gone for almost seven or eight hours.
According to the route they had taken, they should not be far from the hut, but this was not far, only for him.
And that was a memory from several years ago.
Any mistake could put them far away from the cabin.
He looked around, forcing himself to focus, which in this case was necessary to identify the landmarks.
In front of the hut there was a tree that had been struck down by lightning.
The tree had long since decayed, but the huge tree obscured the cabin.
Two hours later, Huo Chengan knew that he might not be able to find the hut.
At least under such circumstances, he could hardly open his eyes.
It's hard to be sure if what you see is still what you remember.
He was completely exhausted, and Shen Anan, who was following him, could obviously fall to the ground at any time.
Huo Chengan gritted his teeth and chose a small cave between two large rocks.
Although this was not a good place to escape the cold, he had to stop.
Shen Anan was almost in a dazed state.
She didn't even feel Huo Chengan stop. She didn't realize it until she bumped into Huo Chengan.
When he raised his head, he saw Huo Chengan kneeling on the ground.
Shen Anan's whole body was numb from the cold. She opened her mouth but made no sound.
She tried to step forward and help Huo Chengan up, but realized that her legs were so stiff that she could hardly move forward.
With a desperate cry, the whole person fell to the ground.
The cold and hard ground made every bone in her ache. The ground was too hard. The impact made tears well up in her eyes.
I have never walked such a difficult road in my life.
Shen Anan blinked to prevent tears from falling, but she still couldn't help crying when she stood up.
Huo Chengan stood up from the ground without saying a word.
He stepped forward and put one arm around Shen Anan's waist, placing her whole body firmly on his shoulders.
Dragging it all the way into the cave.
Shen Anan didn't know whether she should be angry or grateful. She was so tired, so cold, and completely unconscious.
Shen Anan was sitting on the rock. She didn't want to stand up, but she couldn't.
But she heard Huo Chengan's footsteps coming towards her.
How could Huo Chengan persist until now?
Shen An's eyes fell on Huo Chengan and suddenly noticed that his steps were unsteady and he seemed to be unable to maintain balance when walking.
He stopped behind her.
"I can't help you now."
He said in a low, husky voice.
"You'd better stand up on your own. If you can't stand up, you can only crawl into the cave from here.
We could rest for the night as it was getting dark by now. it's very windy.
If we continue like this, we may not be able to find another cave where we can stay warm. "
"No fire?"
Shen Anan asked almost painfully.
During those long, miserable hours of walking.
She had been longing for the light and heat of the fire in her imagination, as if it were her little lover.
She was even ready to buy the ignition equipment from the mall.
It is a dream to have a warm campfire and eat hot food.
He no longer cares whether Huo Chengan discovers his secret.
In the face of basic survival, secrets are nothing.
But now Huo Chenganti didn't even mention making a fire.
"No. Come on! Shen Anan moves to the rock, where the wind can be blocked."
When Shen Anan really started crawling, it was not dignified at all, let alone elegant.
At this moment, I can only ensure that I use my only physical strength to climb to the other end of the cave.
Fortunately, after climbing for more than ten meters, she finally stood up unsteadily and started walking forward with her unruly legs.
She had to grit her teeth to hold back the pain from her feet, but she continued walking.
Huo Chengan walked carefully beside her.
His look reminded her that his energy was also spent.
"Okay, here it is. Now pile the pine needles together."
Huo Chengan, who likes to do things himself, is actually directing him?
She looked at him, her body rocking back and forth, her vision dark.
But she still knelt on the ground and clumsily followed his instructions, her numb fingers completely unaware of what she was doing.
"That's it."
A soft bundle fell to the ground next to her.
"Now put the blanket on top."
This is a marching blanket.
She still did it silently.
"Take off your coat and lie down."
Huo Chengan is also doing what he said.
Those hard legs pressed against hers.
Shen Anan wanted to move her feet away, but he stopped her.
His hand gripped her arm so tightly that she began to wonder if he was as weak as he seemed.
"Come closer. We must share each other's heat, our coats."
This is a fact.
She was close to him, but taking off her coat made him feel even colder.
She instinctively wanted to resist.
But common sense told her that he must use his coat as a cover.
After taking off her heavy coat, she shivered involuntarily.
So does he.
She lay quietly.
At this moment, Shen Anan was too tired to say a word.
He lay down next to her, and his slender figure made Shen Anan feel the heat coming from him through his cold clothes.
The heat tempted her comfortably, and she moved closer to him, consciously hugging him from the side.
Carefully avoiding the sore spot, he pulled the half of the blanket they weren't lying on over them.
Then cover the second one, covering both people's feet with her coat.
His coat covered their bodies.
Finally he lay down and passed his right arm under her neck.
The heat from his body radiated through the layers of clothing.
Shen Anan doubted whether they could survive the night lying on the cold ground like this.
I have never experienced such a cold wilderness experience in my life.
As a doctor, she certainly understands the current situation.
It has nothing to do with survival in the wild, this is the instinctive way of human beings to keep out the cold.
She put her hands on his chest and moved them up to his neck, feeling for his pulse.
Although it was a little faster, it was still beating steadily.
But at the same time, he could feel the temperature on Huo Chengan's body, which was no longer a normal temperature.
"You have a fever."
"My leg may have been injured in the fight just now. Although there is no external injury, I do have a fever."
She relaxed slightly.
"I won't die, don't be afraid. Shen An'an."
There was a hint of teasing in his voice, mixed with exhaustion.
She wanted to reply, but she couldn't.
Her eyelids were so heavy that not even the stinging pain in her feet could wake her up.
The heat from his body was saving her.
She was too tired to protest against this inappropriate way of sleeping.
All she could do was slide her hands down and onto his chest.
After feeling his heartbeat, she immediately fell asleep. Shen Anan woke up from her sleep.
He could feel Huo Chengan's pulse racing, but the muscles in his body didn't move at all.
She lay on his right side, her head on his shoulder, her face pressed against his shirt.
The temperature on his body is still hot.
Shen Anan exchanged antipyretic medicine from the mall.
Although Huo Chengan was alerted by her movements while sleeping, it was the first moment he saw Shen Anan.
Tight muscles relaxed.
He saw that her hairpin had come loose and her hair was all messy.
He patted his cheek with his hand, said in a gentle voice, and opened his mouth.
He took a slow, deep breath and opened his mouth.
Something was put into the mouth, and then cold water entered the mouth.
"Drink the fever-reducing medicine."
Shen Anan watched him drink the medicine, then touched his forehead with her hand as if to comfort a child, and said with a smile.
"You can rest a little longer."
Shen Anan knew that it was not dark outside, and the two of them had not slept for long.
Just because I was so tired, this sleep felt particularly long.
She just did what she was supposed to do.
Huo Chengan finished drinking the medicine.
After his dry throat was moistened by the cold water, he closed his eyes and fell into sleep again.
But before falling asleep, he could feel Shen Anan's right hand still on his chest.
That pleasant feeling spreads warmly throughout the body.
He wrapped his hand around hers and pulled it to his chest, not wanting to let go.
Don't know how long it has been.
When Huo Chengan opened his eyes, he had recovered and could feel that his fever had subsided.
Looking at Shen Anan who was leaning tightly in his arms and hugging him tightly.
Huo Chengan let go of her hand and shook her awake again.
Shen Anan opened her sleepy eyes, fluttered her eyelashes a few times and closed them again.
With eyes like thick ink, Huo Chengan looked at her in a bright place for the first time.
He shook her again.
"Wake up, An'an, we can't stay here."
