After sleeping enough, the two had more time to be awake and could think calmly. Jian Yi and Fu Chen exchanged names, and they kept planning how to escape this big mountain.
Several times, there were footsteps and voices outside. It was the traffickers looking for them. The two were so scared they didn't dare to speak. Fortunately, the cave entrance was small and hidden, so they weren't discovered.
This also made the two realize that the traffickers had not stopped looking for them.
When night fell again, Fu Chen noticed that Jian Yi seemed to be in a lot of discomfort, her breathing rough and heavy. He asked her what was wrong, but Jian Yi just said she was fine, and she didn't know what was happening to her.
Fu Chen wanted to hug her to let her sleep for a while. When he touched her, he found her body was scorching hot. He touched her forehead, and it was burning.
"You have a fever!" Fu Chen was shocked and quickly pulled her over.
Jian Yi then raised her hand to touch her forehead. "Really? Brother, will I die here and never see my mom and dad again?"
"No, we will definitely escape," Fu Chen said.
"But brother, I feel so uncomfortable right now." Jian Yi felt both uncomfortable and sleepy, her eyes about to close.
Fu Chen was very anxious. Although they had only known each other for two days, he had developed feelings for this little girl. He couldn't let her die. He immediately took off his T-shirt and went into the cave. Water was dripping down the wall. He wet his clothes completely and came back to wipe Jian Yi's face and body to cool her down.
Jian Yi had become drowsy. Feeling the coolness, she found it somewhat comfortable, but it was far from enough.
Fu Chen continued to cool her down repeatedly like this, wiping her for an entire night. However, Jian Yi's condition showed no signs of improvement. When he called her, she could only let out a few hums and could no longer respond.
Fu Chen knew he couldn't delay any longer. He had to take her to the hospital immediately, or Jian Yi's life would truly be in danger.
He looked at the clothes in his hands. He first tore them apart and spread them on the ground. He then picked Jian Yi up and placed her on the clothes, then carried her on his back. He tied the clothes tightly to his body so that he could escape faster.
Jian Yi still had a bit of consciousness and called out, "Brother."
Fu Chen said, "Jian Yi, don't be afraid. I'm taking you out of here now! You'll be alright."
"Thank you, brother," Jian Yi said with all her might, uttering her last two words before falling into a coma.
Fu Chen carried Jian Yi outside. It was morning, and he thought it was a good time to escape. Those people usually searched at night, and they must be resting or having breakfast now.
In the past few days, he had learned from the traffickers' whispers that someone had hired them to capture him and paid them a large sum of money, instructing them to deal with him thoroughly. Originally, the employer had told them to kill him immediately, but these people were greedy and thought they could sell his organs for money, thus making another profit. That's why they hadn't killed him.
Now that he had escaped, if the employer found out, they would not spare them, which was why those people were so anxious to find him.
As for Jian Yi, they hadn't mentioned her much, only saying that the young girl was pretty and would fetch a high price. This was why they had kept her.
After coming out, Fu Chen ran down the mountain with Jian Yi. He guessed correctly that those people were going back to eat breakfast. Moreover, after searching for two days, these people were tired and all thought they had run off somewhere, believing they were definitely not on the mountain. They had searched the mountain top to bottom several times, so it was impossible for anyone to be hiding there.
