Liu Renzhi also saw the knife.
He picked it up a step ahead of Lin Wanyi.
Lin Wanyi begged him, "Give it to me, Brother Liu, give me the knife.
"Give it to me."
Liu Renzhi refused to give it to her. He made up his mind:
"Wanyi, listen to me. I will be your antidote.
"Don't feel burdened by it. This is just to save your life. It means nothing else."
Lin Wanyi didn't want this. She would rather die than ruin Liu Renzhi's innocence.
She tried to snatch the knife, but lost all control the moment she touched Liu Renzhi's body.
She was hot, incredibly hot.
Her hands roamed all over Liu Renzhi, searching for a cool spot.
Liu Renzhi was a man, a perfectly healthy and normal man.
Faced with Lin Wanyi in such a state, he couldn't remain entirely unaffected.
His hands slowly caressed Lin Wanyi's waist.
At that single touch, Lin Wanyi shuddered all over.
But then Wang Hao's roar echoed in her ears:
"Lin Wanyi, get the hell out here! You can't cheat on me, I forbid you from cheating!
"Come out! Come to me! I am your husband.
"Do you hear me? I am your husband!"
Liu Renzhi covered her ears:
"Don't listen, Wanyi. Don't listen to him.
"Trust me, I will take responsibility for you."
With that said, he pressed his lips against hers.
Lin Wanyi's mind went blank. She was forced to accept Liu Renzhi's kiss.
She screamed in her heart to push him away, but her body instinctively yielded to him.
She even slipped her hands into Liu Renzhi's shirt.
Liu Renzhi's muscles tensed. Just as he was about to go further to cure her, Lin Wanyi suddenly grabbed the sharp knife that had fallen to the ground and plunged it right into her own thigh.
"Ah!!!"
To Wang Hao, her agonizing scream sounded like a release of passion.
Veins popped on his forehead as he shoved Lin Jiajun away with all his might.
But before he could run inside, he saw Liu Renzhi walking out, carrying a bleeding Lin Wanyi in his arms.
Lin Jiajun panicked:
"What happened? Why is there so much blood?
"Sister, what exactly happened to you?"
Seeing Lin Wanyi's flushed cheeks, Wang Hao swung a fist at Liu Renzhi.
But Liu Renzhi said, "If you still want Lin Wanyi to live, get out of my way.
"Don't delay me."
Wang Hao abruptly pulled his fist back.
Liu Renzhi strode away with Lin Wanyi in his arms, but as he passed by Liu Dabing, he viciously stomped on his fingers.
"Ah!!!"
Liu Dabing screamed miserably, and Liu Renzhi stomped on him a second time.
He said as he walked:
"You just wait. I will make you beg for life and pray for death!"
Lin Jiajun followed Liu Renzhi away.
The rest of the people stayed behind to help Chen Tianxiang deal with the others.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Lin Jiajun cleared the path ahead, while Liu Renzhi followed closely behind, holding Lin Wanyi tightly.
Lin Jiajun had roughly guessed what happened, but he didn't dare to ask.
Liu Renzhi spoke up instead:
"Your sister has lost too much blood. We must get her to a hospital for a transfusion as soon as possible.
"Jiajun, hurry!"
Fast.
Lin Jiajun threw caution to the wind, hacking away at whatever stood in their path.
He led Liu Renzhi swiftly down the mountain.
Fortunately, as the sky grew brighter, their pace quickened.
However, Lin Wanyi was still restless in Liu Renzhi's arms.
Although she had ruthlessly stabbed herself to let out blood, the drug's effects still lingered in her system.
Being held so tightly by Liu Renzhi, her heart couldn't help but stir restlessly.
It was even more agonizing for Liu Renzhi.
But he endured it.
Right now, all he cared about was Lin Wanyi's life; he thought of nothing else.
Halfway down, Liu Renzhi's stamina was clearly failing.
Lin Jiajun said:
"Brother, you lead the way. I'll carry my sister."
"No!"
"No!"
Liu Renzhi and Lin Wanyi refused simultaneously.
They were both thinking the same thing.
Lin Wanyi and Lin Jiajun were sister and brother.
Lin Jiajun didn't say anything more and continued to clear the path.
Liu Renzhi shifted from carrying her in his arms to carrying her on his back.
As they walked, he sensed something was wrong.
Lin Wanyi's hands, which had been wandering all over at first, had stopped moving.
She went still.
Liu Renzhi couldn't see what was happening on his back.
He hurriedly asked Lin Jiajun, "What's wrong with her? Check on her, what's wrong?"
Upon looking, Lin Jiajun grew even more panicked:
"She passed out! My sister passed out!
"What do we do, Brother? She must have lost too much blood."
"Call an ambulance."
Liu Renzhi forced himself to stay calm.
"We're almost at the bottom of the mountain, there should be cell service now.
"Quick, call an ambulance and have them wait at the foot of the mountain."
Lin Jiajun took out his phone, but the battery was dead.
Completely dead. He checked Liu Renzhi's phone, but it was dead too.
Both of them panicked.
Liu Renzhi walked even faster, ignoring the branches scratching his face.
He only wanted to save Lin Wanyi's life.
He didn't know how long they had been walking.
Finally, they saw the black car.
Liu Renzhi called out to Lin Jiajun:
"Hurry into the village and borrow a phone to call an ambulance.
"Hurry."
Lin Jiajun sprinted off. Liu Renzhi gently set Lin Wanyi down from his back.
He held her in his arms again. She still had warmth, still had a heartbeat and breath.
She had just fainted.
He tried to shake her awake:
"Wake up, Lin Wanyi, wake up.
"Wake up, please wake up."
Lin Wanyi's face was no longer flushed, but it had turned deathly pale.
She still didn't wake up, and Liu Renzhi grew anxious.
He just felt that he couldn't let her stay unconscious; she needed to stay awake.
But no matter how much he shook her or called her name, she wouldn't wake up.
Finally, mustering his courage, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Wanyi on the lips.
Though it looked like a kiss, he was actually blocking her airway.
Finally, a minute later, Lin Wanyi opened her eyes.
Her eyes met Liu Renzhi's.
Liu Renzhi wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
He simply held her tighter:
"Hold on, the ambulance will be here soon."
The ambulance didn't come, but Wu Qin's husband drove up first.
Lin Jiajun hadn't looked for anyone else, because he knew others might not help them.
But Wu Qin definitely would.
Sure enough, when he arrived, Wu Qin was in her courtyard, looking anxiously toward the back mountain.
Hearing Lin Jiajun's explanation, she immediately called her husband:
"Drive them to the town hospital, hurry.
"Who knows how long an ambulance will take."
Liu Renzhi carried Lin Wanyi into the car. He didn't speak the entire way.
He just watched the drowsy Lin Wanyi, holding her tighter and tighter.
The car drove very fast. Upon arriving at the hospital, Liu Renzhi shouted:
"Doctor! Doctor!"
Lin Wanyi was finally wheeled into the emergency room.
Both Lin Jiajun and Liu Renzhi stood at the door, peering inside nervously.
After a good while, the doctor opened the door:
"The patient has lost too much blood and needs a transfusion. But we are a small hospital and our blood bank is insufficient, so..."
"Take my blood."
"Take mine."
Lin Jiajun and Liu Renzhi spoke at the same time.
The doctor said, "Both of you, come with me."
But Lin Jiajun pushed Liu Renzhi down onto a bench:
"Brother, we are siblings. Our blood types are the same.
"I'll go. You rest here for a while.
"When my sister wakes up, she needs to see someone here, otherwise she'll be scared."
Liu Renzhi didn't argue.
He didn't sit down either. He remained leaning against the emergency room door.
He was thinking that all of this was his fault.
It was all caused by him asking Lin Wanyi for help in the first place.
It was all his fault!
