The man called Brother Liu had his expression darken immediately. He stared at the cupboard before he turned to the man. "Are you about this?"
"Yes, we're certain it's his car!"
Brother Liu let out a breath. He turned to the confused old man and tossed some notes of money at him. "Okay, we'll move down the mountain now!"
The group came and left quickly. Soon silence returned to the small village. The old man knocked on the cupboard door. "That was close. Kids, what did you do to get entangled with those bandits? But don't be scared. They have already left, you can come out now."
Mo Li ran out from the cupboard and rushed to check on Quan Yu..
The old man was surprised that they didn't hide in the same spot. When Mo Li hauled Quan Yu out from the box, the old man was shocked. He quickly hurried to help.
"I'll go find some medicine for him. You better stay here to look after him!" Quan Yu was covered in cold sweat. His lips were purple. He tugged on Mo Li's arm weakly. "Don't go..."
Mo Li was about to go grab some warm water for him. Quan Yu held onto her weakly. His body was covered in sweat and his gaze wavered. But his voice was strong with determination. "Don't... Go... Cold..."
Quan Yu could barely string together a sentence.
That touch Quan Yu placed on Mo Li's arm caused Mo Li's expression to change drastically. When the old man returned, Mo Li had lay Quan Yu flat on the bed.
Quan Yu's heart was stopping!
Mo Li had to apply CPR immediately... The heart resuscitation formula is 30:2... Her brain spun to figure out how to keep Quan Yu alive.
"What, what is wrong with him?" The old man was nervous, this was his first time encountering something like this. Mo Li didn't answer but started to compress Quan Yu's chest 30 times and then blow into his mouth 2 times. Mo Li completed a full sequence but Quan Yu still didn't give any response.
The chest compression was to ensure that there was no blocking in Quan Yu's nostril and trachea. After 5 sequences, Quan Yu's heartbeat finally returned to normal. The old man wiped away Mo Li's sweat with concern. "Girl, I think you've saved him. You should take a rest now. Your clothes are all soaked in sweat. I'll bring over my granddaughter's clothes for you to change."
"Grandpa, do you have medicine like atrophine at home?" Mo Li sighed in relief but she realized the night was not yet over. She needed to keep Quan Yu's temperature low or he might still be in danger. It was best if there was heart medication or even an oxygen tank.
"I... don't think so. But I do have fever medicine! Girl, you know many things! Is the boy okay now?"
"He's coming back to us. We still need to look after him but he's out of the danger zone."
...
At night, Quan Yu felt a draft blow into the room.
"Cold." Quan Yu felt better so he stretched in bed. His hand knocked into something. He opened his eyes and saw Mo Li lying beside his bed.
Quan Yu smiled. Then he used some force to haul her up onto bed. Hugging Mo Li, he drifted back to sleep.
The rain finally stopped at 7 am. The sky cleared up and sun filtered through the window.
Mo Li's eyes fluttered open. She realized with shock that she was in bed. The heavy comforter was placed over her.
She rubbed her eyes and soreness came from her arms. Then it hit her. Where is Quan Yu? Why am I in his bed? He has not been captured by those people, has he?
