The sudden accident startled everyone. Zhou Cheng Nian was the first to react. He put down what he was eating, ran over, and shouted at the film crew, "Stop filming! What are you still filming? Hurry and check on Qing He Jie and You Rong!"
The film crew members rushed over, as did Wen Qian Yi and Zheng Yi, their faces full of worry.
Fortunately, not much soil had fallen. With a few strong pulls, they saw You Rong and Lin Qing He buried in the dirt. Lin Qing He had protected him underneath her, and You Rong's hand was shielding Lin Qing He's head.
Zhou Cheng Nian quickly helped them up, patted the dust off them, and asked anxiously, "Qing He Jie, You Rong! Are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?"
Lin Qing He felt a slight pain in her ankle, but otherwise, she was fine. She didn't even have time to answer Zhou Cheng Nian. She rushed to pull You Rong's arm and nervously examined him from head to toe, "You Rong? How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
You Rong, covered in mud, pursed his lips and looked at Lin Qing He with an unreadable expression. After a moment, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "...I'm fine."
Hearing this, Lin Qing He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're fine, good that you're fine. I was so scared when the mud came down the slope just now. Thankfully, you're okay..."
You Rong's heart stirred. The way she had thrown herself forward without hesitation seemed to be imprinted in his mind.
Wen Qian Yi patted the dirt off Lin Qing He's body and asked worriedly, "You Rong is fine, but how are you, Qing He Jie? Are you injured anywhere? It looked like all the mud fell on you..."
"I'm fine, I'm great, look..." Lin Qing He was about to move her body to stand up when her expression suddenly changed, and the words on her lips stopped.
Seeing this, Wen Qian Yi asked anxiously, "Qing He Jie? What's wrong? Are you injured somewhere? Staff, is there a medic on standby! Get someone over here quickly!"
The film crew members looked embarrassed. "This... we didn't arrange for a medic to be on standby. This... I'm afraid we'll have to go down the mountain to find a doctor!"
"Then what do we do? It'll take at least an hour to get to town from here. What if Qing He Jie's injuries worsen in such a long time?"
"This... this..." The staff member stammered for a long time before managing to say, "We'll contact the hospital in town and ask them to send a medic."
You Rong's expression was solemn. Ignoring his muddy state, he squatted beside Lin Qing He and examined her carefully. His gaze fell on her leg, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is your leg injured?"
Lin Qing He nodded with a pale face. "Yes, my ankle hurt a little at first, but now I can't move my entire right leg. It hurts when I move it..."
You Rong's hand tentatively pressed on Lin Qing He's right leg, and Lin Qing He immediately frowned tightly, biting her lip to suppress the pain.
You Rong then pulled up Lin Qing He's pant leg to check. He saw that her ankle was swollen. His gaze deepened, and he decisively said to the staff who were in a fluster, "The preliminary diagnosis is a sprain and a fracture. Contact the hospital in town for a medic to come, but going back and forth to the hospital will take too long. I'll carry her down the mountain. Get a car ready. We'll go straight to the hospital in town after we get down!"
Upon hearing this, the film crew members quickly nodded. "Okay! We'll immediately contact people at the foot of the mountain to prepare a car!"
You Rong grunted, turned his back to Lin Qing He, and said in a deep voice, "Get on, I'll carry you!"
With the help of Wen Qian Yi and the others, Lin Qing He climbed onto You Rong's back. You Rong stood up with her, adjusted her weight, and began walking steadily down the mountain.
Along the way, Zhou Cheng Nian asked worriedly, "You Rong, are you tired? Do you want me to carry Qing He Jie for a bit?"
You Rong replied in a deep voice, "It's fine, I can manage."
If it were any other time, carrying Lin Qing He, who weighed less than ninety jin, would have been no problem for You Rong. But now they were on a rugged mountain path, not flat ground. You Rong was clearly struggling, and his breathing became noticeably labored as he walked.
Zhou Cheng Nian and Zheng Yi had both asked if he needed help, but he insisted on carrying Lin Qing He himself. He explained that switching carriers would waste time and could cause further injury to Lin Qing He.
Lin Qing He, lying on You Rong's back, rolled her dark eyes and said, "You Rong, don't rush too much. It's okay to walk slower. I feel okay, it's just a little painful. It shouldn't be a big problem."
You Rong pursed his thin lips without answering, but his pace did not slow down.
The next second, Lin Qing He heard a system prompt in her mind: "Progress bar increased by two percent. Total progress bar is three percent."
Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows subtly.
She was lucky today. What was an unexpected disaster for You Rong was a gift from heaven for her. See, the progress bar had increased.
You Rong carried Lin Qing He all the way to the foot of the mountain and placed her in the car.
A member of the film crew said, "You guys stay and continue with the rest of the recording. We'll take Qing He to the hospital."
Wen Qian Yi said worriedly, "I'll go with Qing He Jie! I won't be at ease otherwise!"
Zhou Cheng Nian nodded heavily. "That's right! We should all go. We won't be at ease until we see that Qing He Jie is alright!"
"This..." The film crew member looked troubled. If all the guests left, their filming for the day would clearly be ruined.
Seeing this, Lin Qing He was about to suggest that You Rong accompany her while they stayed to continue filming. However, You Rong spoke first, "I'll go with Qing He to the hospital in town. You guys stay and continue filming. I'll call you if anything comes up."
Wen Qian Yi and the others exchanged glances and agreed. They watched You Rong bend down and get into the car. As the film crew drove away, they returned to the small courtyard to continue filming.
After an hour's drive, the car stopped at the town hospital. After registering and seeing the doctor, the examination results came out. Lin Qing He did not have a fracture, only a sprain. The doctor prescribed medication and said that rubbing it with medicated wine would speed up the healing process.
The film crew member went to get the medicine and pay. Lin Qing He sat on the hospital bed. As the doctor was about to get the medicated wine to rub her injury, You Rong instinctively turned to leave. Just as he turned, his sleeve was grabbed. Lin Qing He looked at him with a tense, pleading expression, appearing pitiful. "Um... You Rong, can you not leave? I... I'm quite afraid of pain. Can you stay and accompany... accompany me..."
Lin Qing He's voice became softer towards the end, as if she were embarrassed.
Only she knew that she had spoken at a volume that You Rong could hear. She wasn't afraid of pain either, but she wasn't foolish enough to miss an opportunity to increase the progress bar.
