Chapter 2

The rain was falling steadily, and the valley was shrouded in a gray mist.

Yu Shiying had taken shelter in a cave for a night. It was now early morning, with the sky just beginning to brighten. Coupled with the rain and fog, visibility was very low. It was dark and cold.

The mountain wind carried raindrops, blowing the trees to and fro and making a rustling sound.

The winding mountain road was washed muddy by the rain, and the air was filled with a fresh scent of soil and grass, with a chill.

Yu Shiying wrapped herself tightly around her soaked coat, her body shivering uncontrollably. She cautiously moved forward, trying to recall the lessons she’d learned from the wilderness survival variety show.

She looked up and observed the growth habits of the trees, trying to determine the direction by the density of the treetops and the distribution of moss on the trunks.

The branches and leaves on the south side of the tree are usually more lush, while the north side of the trunk is more likely to grow moss.

“Since God has given me a chance to be reborn, I don’t want to die here so easily.”

According to the original owner’s memory, they should be heading north. As long as the general direction is correct, they should be able to get out.

Suddenly, she tripped over something hard, lost her balance, and fell forward. She screamed and quickly supported herself on the ground to avoid falling face first.

Ignoring the pain in her body, she looked carefully and found that it was a human leg that tripped her!

The man lay face up on the ground, motionless. He was wearing camouflage uniform, and his face was covered in mud and sand, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.

Yu Shiying’s heart tightened. “Soldier? No way, he looks like he’s dead, right?”

She had no time to be afraid and could only walk over with a nervous heart, feeling the man’s breath with trembling fingers.

She held her breath and felt it carefully.

Oh my god, I have never seen a dead person in my life.

Fortunately, there is still a faint breath!

She breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out some water from his backpack and carefully cleaned the mud and sand from the man’s mouth and nose, then unbuttoned his collar to allow him to breathe more easily.

Then, following her memory of first aid from her past life, she began performing CPR on the man. She stretched out her arms and rhythmically pressed on the man’s chest with the strength of her body.

One, two, three… She didn’t dare to pause for a moment and pressed again and again.

No response? Yu Shiying continued to give the man artificial respiration. She pinched his nose, took a deep breath, leaned over and blew into his mouth. Ten CPRs for one artificial respiration.

She repeated this action for an unknown amount of time until the man finally choked and coughed and began to breathe on his own. Yu Shiying stopped what she was doing and sat down on the ground.

The raindrops dripped down the leaves, splashing on the ground, making a slight sound.

Xin Yuanzhou heard a slightly rapid breathing sound beside him, and his consciousness gradually became clear. Last night, he and his team received an order to come to Qifang Village to rescue the forest rangers. However, during the rescue, he suddenly had an unbearable stomachache and was accidentally washed away by the mountain torrent, and then he fell into a coma.

Was he rescued?

Xin Yuanzhou slowly opened his eyes and felt the faint light piercing his eyes.

A young face came into view, it was actually a young girl.

This girl is really pretty.

Willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and small red lips.

Her face was still pale from being wet by the rain, and her black and shiny hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her breathing was a little rapid, obviously from exertion.

Xin Yuanzhou felt a dull pain in his chest and asked, “You saved me?”

“Yeah.” Yu Shiying hummed lightly and looked at him.

The man was very handsome, with an angular face, a pair of deep and bright eyes under thick sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a firm jawline.

Even though it was covered in mud and sand, it couldn’t hide his handsome features.

His face was a healthy wheat color, and his camouflage uniform was wet and stuck to his chest, showing off his perfect muscle lines.

His voice is hoarse but still magnetic, and he is much more masculine than those young handsome guys in the entertainment industry.

If it wasn’t so inappropriate, Yu Shiying really wanted to take a few more glances and fantasize about it.

“I was really afraid you were dead, so I gave you CPR.”

Yu Shiying felt guilty and was too embarrassed to mention artificial respiration. After all, it seemed like she was taking advantage of the man.

Xin Yuanzhou struggled to sit up and looked at his clothes that were soaked and muddy.

He knew very well that he fainted due to stomach pain and subsequent exhaustion, and it had nothing to do with suffocation. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation had no effect on him at all.

The little girl was very strong and she managed to wake him up by forcing him to sleep.

He rubbed his aching chest and thanked Yu Shiying.

“You’re welcome. Are you a soldier?”

“Well, I came to rescue the forest ranger, but I got swept away by a flash flood.”

He’s a real soldier, but he seems a bit clueless. He came here to rescue people, but he got trapped himself.

“Since you’re awake, eat something first. We’ll go out together later.” Yu Shiying handed him a piece of cake and some water.

Xin Yuanzhou took the food, his stomach still aching slightly. After drinking the water, his hunger was slightly relieved. His eyes lingered on Shiying, his heart filled with doubts.

“Why are you here?”

“I went on an outing with my classmates and accidentally got separated. Later, I got lost.” Yu Shiying answered simply, not wanting to tell irrelevant people about what happened yesterday.

Xin Yuanzhou frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

After several crackdowns, public security is much better than before, but it is not completely free of danger.

In order to seek new excitement, many young people go in and out of some uninhabited areas and deep mountains and forests, which makes it more difficult for firefighters and armed police to rescue them.

In the words of his soldiers, these young people are just bored and have nothing to do. Do they have the energy to do these things after running 20 kilometers in their team?

It is the duty of forest rangers to patrol the mountains, and of course they have to rescue those who are trapped. But these ignorant young people who venture into the dense forest alone are really asking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Xin Yuanzhou said in a bad tone, “You are quite courageous, girl. You run to a place like this by yourself, and you are not afraid of encountering danger.”

Yu Shiying felt like she was being scolded and was confused.

This guy is out of his mind. Not to mention how nice he is to his savior, after all, they are fellow sufferers in the world, but why does he speak with such a blaming tone?

“I didn’t mean to do that.”

It was all because of that bitch. Of course, Yu Shiying could only mutter the second half of this sentence in her heart, and she would definitely settle the score with Hu Shudan when she got back.

“If you can leave, let’s go quickly. Although the rain has lightened, it hasn’t stopped yet. Don’t let us run into another flash flood.”

Yu Shiying wasn’t one for good temper either, and she urged Xin Yuanzhou on. She was already angry, and just now she’d thought this man was masculine and handsome, but she’d really misjudged him.

Who is she? You don’t even know her, yet you dare to lecture her.
