Chapter 1756: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (26)
Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank back as she cursed at herself.
How stupid was that?
The injury on her shoulder was serious, there was no way she could take her entire body weight with that arm alone.
Now all she could do was release the bracelet and use her other arm to grab the rope, to ensure her safety.
But…
The bracelet was her only way of staying in contact with her mother.
She struggled. Her body weight was rapidly dragging her down.
“Traceless!”
Qiao Yiyi frowned and, just as she was about to let the bracelet go, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She immediately looked up and saw that Lu Nanze had jumped down to where she was without a moment of hesitation.
He slid one hand firmly around her waist and with the other hand, he clung tightly to the rope just as she was about to let go.
Qiao Yiyi: …!!
“Oh no!” she cursed under her breath.
Indeed, before she could speak further, the rope snapped under the weight of two people.
“Sir!”
“Sir!”
They heard Lu Nanze’s bodyguards yelling anxiously on top of the cliff… while Lu Nanze and Traceless fell all the way down.
Qiao Yiyi was utterly speechless.
How could the rope have taken the weight of the both of them?
Why on earth had this man jumped down?!
Now he had taken her down with him.
As she cursed and swore silently, she looked down.
Fortunately, it was not a very steep cliff and there was a thick canopy at the bottom, which slowed their fall.
But even then, they were getting seriously hit and knocked, which made them feel like they were about to spew their guts out.
Qiao Yiyi was dizzy from the hits but right at this point, from the corner of her eye she saw a sharp branch jutting out. If either of them were to fall on it, it would pierce right through them.
Her pupils shrank back as her mind raced to think of a way to avoid the branch.
But now they were both in mid-air, where could they grab onto?!
As she thought this, she felt a hard push.
She widened her eyes in shock and looked at Lu Nanze in disbelief.
She saw him shove her out of the way as he rammed right into the branch.
There was a sound of flesh being pierced. Because he had pushed her out of the way, he himself had moved and fallen on the side of the branch.
The branch had mercilessly pierced into his thigh instead.
At once, a fountain of blood seeped out of the wound.
Bam!
Bam!
Qiao Yiyi and Lu Nanze both fell hard on the ground.
The girl rolled with the fall and it mitigated the impact. Then immediately she jumped to her feet and dashed towards Lu Nanze.
As she came up to him, she saw that he was lying flat on the ground with both his hands tightly squeezing his thigh.
Qiao Yiyi asked at once, “How are you going?”
He replied, “Think I’ve torn my artery.”
Her heart missed a beat.
One could die within half an hour from blood loss in case of hurting an artery.
She looked down quickly and indeed saw blood spurting from the wound.
Without any delay, she looked around. Unable to spot any useful materials, she quickly tore her garments, and used the fabric to create a tourniquet around the wound and stop the blood flow.
But even then, if they didn’t get him treated as soon as possible, he could lose his leg.
She clenched her fists tightly. But in the midst of her panic, she felt a hand closing over hers.
