Chapter 1227 Still being stubborn?
Su Xing and He Xu walked towards the stone.
As they approached, they indeed saw a man leaning against the rock.
At that moment, the man was tearing at his windbreaker with his hands.
Su Xing and He Xu immediately sensed that something was wrong.
He Xu spoke up, "Dude, are you alright?"
Su Xing also asked, "Do you need any help?"
As they spoke, both men were sizing up the man's clothes and appearance.
Goodness, this guy was wearing a windproof jacket, windproof pants, and sneakers, and carrying a backpack!
Moreover, the windproof jacket and pants he was wearing didn't look like they were thick!
Although Liaoning Province is the warmest province in Northeast China, it's deep winter now! The temperature has dropped again these past few days, reaching around minus twenty degrees Celsius!
Xingcheng is located near the sea, so the perceived temperature is even lower.
This guy came to climb Shou Mountain dressed like that?! He's got a death wish!
The man's eyelashes and hair were covered in frost, indicating that he had been there for an unknown amount of time.
He heard He Xu and Su Xing's voices, struggled to look up at them, and said weakly, "It's... a little hot..."
Hot?! How could it be hot in this weather!
Su Xing's heart tightened. She said, "He seems to have hypothermia!"
He Xu said, "It should be!"
Su Xing quickly took out the thermos, which still had a little hot water left inside.
"Pour it down his throat!"
He Xu reached out and pinched the man's chin open.
Su Xing fed all the water to the man.
"We need to get down the mountain quickly!" He Xu straightened up and began to take off his down jacket, intending to keep the other person warm.
Su Xing quickly grasped He Xu's hand and said, "Let me do it, my physique is better than yours."
“No way!” He Xu stared at his girlfriend, his eyes unyielding. “I’m a man, my down jacket is big, I can carry her on my back, and we can both keep warm.”
Su Xing said, "In this weather, on this mountain road, how are you going to carry it..."
Before she could finish speaking, He Xu said, "I can!"
Su Xing met He Xu's persistent gaze, sighed, and said, "Alright, I'll call 120 first."
"Okay!" He Xu continued to take off his down jacket.
Su Xing took out his phone and started dialing 120 for emergency medical assistance.
The call was answered quickly, and she promptly explained their situation and gave her location.
At this moment, He Xu had already taken off his down jacket and wrapped it around the man.
He suddenly exclaimed, "His legs are covered in blood!"
Su Xing put away his phone and looked down.
He Xu had already rolled up the man's trouser leg; the man's legs and lower body were covered in blood, staining the snow red.
He had been curling up with his legs tucked in, and had covered them with his backpack, so they hadn't noticed for a moment.
Su Xing frowned deeply.
The two looked down and examined themselves for a while, and found that it was not a bump or scratch, but a ruptured blood vessel.
Su Xing said, "He... probably has varicose veins. The temperature was too low, and then he exercised by climbing mountains, causing his blood vessels to rupture!"
"…!" He Xu was speechless for two seconds before saying, "Why aren't you even wearing cotton-padded pants?!"
The man mumbled groggily, "No, I'm not cold..."
Su Xing and He Xu: "..."
Good heavens, he's so hypothermic he's losing his mind, and he's still being stubborn!
Su Xing took off the scarf around her neck. "I'll apply pressure to stop the bleeding first, and then do a simple bandage."
He Xu knew she was a doctor's family member and knew more about first aid, so he didn't try to be brave and let her treat the man's leg injury while he assisted.
Su Xing's technique was swift and efficient. She used a scarf to press on the bleeding area on the man's leg, maintaining continuous pressure until the bleeding stopped, and then secured the wound with a bandage.
He Xu was wearing a wool sweater under his down jacket, which was fairly warm, but after the down jacket was wrapped around the man, he was also frozen to the bone in just a short time, and his lips turned purple.
After giving the man some basic first aid, Su Xing said, "Let's go down the mountain now."
He Xu said, "Help me put him on my back."
"Okay!" Su Xing replied, grabbing the man's armpits and lifting him onto He Xu's back.
Then she tied the sleeves of the down jacket that was wrapped around the man around He Xu's neck.
"Let's go."
He Xu carried the man on his back, first taking a wild path to the steps for normal tourists, and then walking down the mountain step by step.
Su Xing reached out and picked up the blood-stained backpack from the ground, wiping the blood off on the snow.
She caught up with He Xu in a few steps, reached out, and supported the man's buttocks through his down jacket.
With much of the man's weight now on her, He Xu felt much more relaxed.
The two tried to speed up and head down the mountain.
Shoushan is not high, with an altitude of only over 300 meters. If there is no ice or snow, it is not difficult to climb.
But the weather wasn't great today, and with someone suffering from hypothermia, it would take even longer.
This is in the suburbs, so it will take some time for an ambulance to arrive.
Hopefully, by the time they reach the bottom of the mountain, the ambulance will have arrived as well.
Some of the snow on the steps had been compacted and was very slippery.
When He Xu had carried the man for most of the way, he lost his footing and almost fell.
Fortunately, Su Xing intervened in time, catching him before he fell, and also pulling the man who had fallen off He Xu.
He Xu let out a breath, still shaken, "That was close..."
Su Xing said, "Let me switch with you, we can take turns carrying him."
He Xu had indeed expended a lot of energy carrying a large man on his back for so long on the icy steps.
He knew his girlfriend was stronger and faster than him, and that handing the man over to her would indeed allow them to descend the mountain faster.
He sighed, "Am I a little useless...?"
"How could that be!" Su Xing exclaimed, "Your physical fitness is better than most people your age, you're amazing!"
He Xu was amused by his girlfriend.
The man has regained some of his senses. "I...I can walk..."
Su Xing said, "Give me a break! Do you want two more blood vessels to burst?"
As she spoke, she pulled the man onto her back.
She then said to He Xu, "Put on your down jacket. Don't get yourself all cold while trying to save someone. We're not far from the bottom of the mountain now. Let's hurry up. If the ambulance hasn't arrived yet, let's put him in our car to warm him up."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for He Xu's reaction, she picked up the man and ran down the mountain.
He Xu put on his down jacket and hurried after the person.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his girlfriend drifted further and further away from him...
