Chapter 97: Chapter 096: Heart Pounding Like Thunder Upon Meeting Him Again

Things seemed simple, but when it came to the actual operation, that’s when they realized the difficulties were numerous.

Tang Zelin, because of his serious injuries, couldn’t cooperate with them on his own, so the full weight had to be carried by them to bring him up. Fortunately, Zhao Kang and his soldiers were all in excellent physical condition, and with united effort, it took them almost half a day to finally rescue Tang Zelin.

It was precisely because of this process that Zhao Kang had great admiration for this comrade-in-arms who was also a soldier.

Given his injuries and the location, an ordinary person’s willpower would have already collapsed. Even if their willpower didn’t collapse, maintaining an immobile posture in that place, and trying to avoid triggering a secondary collapse of the mountain, was no easy task. This man’s willpower was not like that of ordinary people.

…

Before Tang Zelin was rescued, Su Shu was filled with various anxieties and unease.

However, once he actually had been brought up, she hesitated.

What was she hesitating about? It was only because she had taken it upon herself to say she was his fiancee that she could break the rules and come to the mountain to find him.

If she were to rush over to him…would that “scare” him?

The devil only knows when he suddenly ended up with a “fiancee.”

Uh… she was the one who had popped up out of nowhere.

In her past life, she was so familiar with him.

In this life, however, he was so strange to her.

Sigh, it hurt.

It was true that reason dictated hesitation, but reason was reason and impulse was impulse.

Su Shu might be able to stay calm and composed in the face of other people and events.

But when it came to Tang Zelin, it was nothing but impulse.

Since her rebirth, there hadn’t been a single time in his presence where she could maintain a perfect image. Her facade always crumbled.

The more she wanted to appear calm and collected, the more panicked and flustered she became in front of him.

After all, it wasn’t the first or second time she acted impulsively, this one time wouldn’t make a difference!

“Are you okay?”

Tang Zelin was lifted from the darkness, with a piece of clothing covering his eyes to prevent the sunlight from hurting his eyes.

Because he couldn’t see, he had to rely on his hearing to assess his surroundings, including throughout the rescue process. He tried his best to cooperate, even though every movement sent sharp pain through his body. But no one knew better than him how to move to avoid further injury to himself.

Fortunately, he and they had cooperated perfectly.

Light filtered through the fabric of the clothing, letting him know he had been safely brought to the ground.

Surviving death was commonplace for him.

Death had been a constant companion, and he had long grown accustomed to it. He thought to himself, it seemed King Yama wasn’t ready to take him just yet.

While he was internally amused by the thought, a gentle and cautious voice suddenly rose by his ear, causing him to startle.

The dampness was heavy in the mountains and forests, filled with the scents of grasses and trees.

A woman’s unexpected voice made Tang Zelin feel a sense of familiarity.

It seemed he had heard it somewhere before.

Seeing that he hadn’t responded for a while, Su Shu, anxious, turned to Zhao Kang and asked.

“Group Captain Zhao, is he okay?”

Zhao Kang said, “His injuries are serious, but they should not be life-threatening. Miss Su, don’t worry, we’re heading down the mountain now. The injuries your fiance has suffered can’t be treated here, but there will be medicine in the village.”

“Okay.”

It was good that Tang Zelin wasn’t in mortal danger, better than anything else.

Su Shu squatted beside him and gently took Tang Zelin’s hand that was at his side.

Beneath the clothing that covered him, Tang Zelin’s tightly closed eyelids unexpectedly trembled. He did not open his eyes, but he was slightly shocked inside.

Someone had taken his hand?
