Wrench lay motionless in the bushes, his face covered in bloody scratches from thorns.
The big gopher in his hand had long since expired.
I guess he suddenly fainted while chasing a gopher.
Abu held the wrench, probed his forehead and said, "His forehead is so hot, and why are his clothes covered in blood..."
"It's over, he's sick!"
I touched Wrench's hot forehead and felt anxious.
Once you get sick on the way to escape, life or death is really uncertain.
"Ping An, what happened to Wrench?"
At this time, Screwdriver and the others also came over.
"Wrench has a fever, go find antipyretic medicine." I ran towards the river.
Our clothes and pants were spread on the rocks to dry, and the antipyretics in our pockets should not have been soaked in water.
When I ran to the river and looked through everyone's trouser pockets, I found nothing.
Except mud, mud.
As early as when we fell off the cliff and into the water, all the things in our pockets were washed away by the water.
I grabbed my empty pockets and wanted to fly to the hospital right away, "It's over! What should I do?"
If Wrench dies, I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life.
"He was hit by a stray bullet and had a wound on his back. Fortunately, the shrapnel was stuck in the flesh and would not be life-threatening."
The screwdriver suddenly came over and said in a heavy tone.
"He was shot?" I grabbed my hair helplessly and looked at Abu, who was walking over with a wrench on his back.
I guessed that it must have been when I was in the river last night when I was holding down the wrench and was hit by the shrapnel from the rocket the moment I dived.
He took a fatal bullet for me.
Then he held back and didn't say anything, just because he was afraid that we would worry and affect the progress of the escape.
Now he has a high fever and is unconscious, and there is no medicine here, so he must be in danger.
"He can't die! We must go to Xiaomengla immediately and find the best doctor to treat him!"
I came to my senses, held back my tears, and quickly put on my clothes.
No matter what the cost, I will treat him.
Bayi also quickly put on his clothes, "Yes, let's go to Xiaomengla. Let's go to Xiaomengla now."
"how to get to?"
Chen Weiqiang suddenly poured down a basin of cold water, "How to get there? Who can we find?"
I was stunned for a moment, and said with red eyes: "Go to Yan Yun, he owes me his life, I can pay him back now."
"I can't tell whether Yan Yun is an enemy or a friend. Should we go and die together? I suggest that we go directly to the embassy!"
Li Jianguo interrupted Chen Weiqiang and said, "I want you to go. I have not avenged my revenge. I am not willing to return to China like this!"
"Stop arguing! Think about how to reduce the fever with the wrench first! I dare not pull out the shrapnel on his back because there is no first aid kit here..."
The screwdriver roared angrily, pulled off his shirt sleeve, wetted it in the river, and applied it to Wrench's forehead.
The money we had on us was also washed away when we fell into the water, leaving only our mobile phones, guns and knives.
Because the AK is carried on the body and the pistol is fastened to the waist, it will definitely not be washed away by the water.
Chen Weiqiang wrapped the USB flash drives on his mobile phone with tape around his body and protected them like treasures.
"Don't forget, there is money in this bank card. As long as we can run into the hospital, we will have a way to treat Wrench."
Chen Weiqiang took the plastic bag and said excitedly.
As long as you have money, everything is easy.
I walked up to Abu and said firmly: "I will carry him, and you will lead the way."
Abu frowned, put down the wrench without saying a word, and then helped him onto my back.
"Brother, you must hold on. This time, I will never let anything happen to you again!"
I hugged the wrench tightly and secretly sweated in my heart.
In a daze, I remembered the scene when I was escaping decisively...
Abu was still leading the way, and I followed him with the unconscious wrench on my back.
Along the way, neither of us spoke a word.
I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I won't be able to control it anymore.
So, he just lowered his head and walked silently.
After walking for more than two hours, we arrived near a village.
With the piggies' lessons learned, we didn't dare to ask the villagers for help. Instead, we had to bypass the villagers' sight and houses and go deep into the mountains.
Fortunately, Screwdriver knows some herbs, and if he sees them occasionally, he can pick them and use them to wipe Wrench's body and wounds.
On the way, Li Jianguo and others wanted to replace me and carry a wrench.
They were all rejected by me.
I was afraid that if I let go, he would never wake up.
His body was getting hotter and hotter, and sometimes he would shout "Dad, Mom" and "Sister" in nonsense.
The one who shouted the most was, "Run, they are catching up."
Every time I hear him shout these words, my heart hurts inexplicably.
I carried him tirelessly over the mountains and ridges, hoping to get into the city before dark and then find a doctor to treat him.
But God, it is not satisfactory.
As soon as we left the village and walked into the jungle for a while, we heard a gunshot not far ahead.
"Are they chasing you?"
Our first reaction was that the Karen border guards were chasing us and waiting for us to die.
After observing for a while, Screwdriver said in a low voice: "It doesn't look like Liu Shiyi and his friends. Judging from their clothes, they must be locals."
"Hide first, don't cause trouble."
Abu was quite familiar with the tough folk customs here, so he immediately pulled me and hid behind a big tree.
We wanted to wait until the gunfire stopped, then sneak over the hillside into the city.
"boom"
There was another harsh gunshot from ahead.
At the same time, there was also the girl's angry scolding: "You bastard! My father will definitely kill you, let me go! Ah!"
"???"
We hid behind trees, listening to the noise ahead, and looked at each other.
"Bah, after I play with you, you will be my wife, and your father will have to look at my face from now on, hahaha!"
The obscene tenor instantly brings us back to reality.
Listening to the conversation, it was definitely not Liu Shiyi and the others who were chasing him, but rather a personal grudge between men and women.
"Let's go around that way."
One more thing is worse than one less thing, so we decided to take a detour.
But the distance will be longer.
"Ah~ beast, let me go! My father will definitely kill you!"
The girl's scream made me stop again.
I turned my head and looked at the screwdriver hesitantly, "How many of them are there? Maybe that girl, like us, is an escaped female piglet..."
If Wrench hadn't been sick, he would have understood what I meant by looking at him.
"Three men and a girl, judging by their clothes and accents, they must be residents here."
Although Screwdriver has not been with me for a short time, he immediately understood the meaning of my words.
After that, he and Abu quietly approached those people with guns on their backs.
After confirming the surrounding environment, they shot two men who wanted to bully the girl at the same time.
The remaining one, before he could react, was immediately "named" by the screwdriver who was an expert in marksmanship.
If they had shot a second later, the girl's skirt would have been torn.
With the roadblocks cleared, we were ready to continue on our way.
"...Which friend is helping me? Can you show up and let me thank you?"
After the girl came to her senses, she arranged her messy long hair with her hands and shouted loudly.
