Chapter 238 Original Sin 47
Wan Yan felt that Shuangshuang was very steady, but in fact, only Shuangshuang herself knew that she had actually been on edge all along. The weight of two people was not easy to bear, but she had to appear relaxed and at ease, for fear that the Wan Yan on her back would feel nervous and scared!
When people are tense, their bodies will involuntarily show some reactions, such as instinctively holding tightly onto something that makes them feel safe.
Shuangshuang was now hanging in mid-air, a very dangerous and precarious position, without room for any mistakes. If Wan Yan, out of nervousness, suddenly clutched onto Shuangshuang tightly, it could affect her performance and lead to an accident!
Fortunately, Shuangshuang’s movements were very stable, calming Wan Yan even further. His body remained relaxed, and the situation Shuangshuang feared did not occur. Shuangshuang successfully carried Wan Yan up!
Crawling on the ground, Shuangshuang let out a big sigh of relief. This stretch had kept her nerves taut, but she finally made it up safely without incident.
From here on, it was easier. With Wan Yan tied to Shuangshuang’s body below the waist and his upper body secured by holding himself around her neck, Shuangshuang just needed to lean forward slightly and quickly make their way out. Her hands were free to part the branches and bushes blocking the path ahead.
Shuangshuang was moving rapidly along the route she had previously marked with her scent, so there was no risk of getting lost or taking a wrong turn. This was why Shuangshuang had the courage to venture into such a place alone to rescue Wan Yan.
Wan Yan lay on Shuangshuang’s back, feeling a bit dizzy. He felt hot and weak, as if the wound had worsened. Yet, seeing the trees swiftly passing by and feeling Shuangshuang’s quick pace, Wan Yan inexplicably felt no fear from the previous night’s stay in the woods, nor the hopelessness of falling into the canyon waiting to die. Instead, he felt an incredible peace of mind, trusting that Shuangshuang could bring him out alive!
Shuangshuang sensed that Wan Yan’s breath on the nape of her neck was hot. She stopped, raised her hand to feel Wan Yan’s forehead. Although it didn’t feel very hot to the touch, it wasn’t exactly cool either. In reality, Wan Yan was running a fever.
Earlier, to carry Wan Yan out, she had discarded her backpack and rope in the canyon below, but she did not discard the large bottle of sugar-salt water and had kept it with her.
