tt was already afternoon when they arrived at Yuxi Village.

Because it was remote and traffic was not convenient, there were not many residents in the village.

After Tang Mo found out the location of Nan Xun’s father’s grave from the rescue team leader, he asked Old Yu to drive over.

ow that the officials had sent people over, the villagers were not allowed to approach the landslide and were cordoned off.

Tang Mo called Nan Xun every once in a while, but he never answered.

na few hours, it might be dark and the situation would be even more dangerous.

After finding out that he had not found Nan Xun, Tang Mo rushed up the mountain.

Old Yu and the staff came to pull him, but he ignored their advice and forced his way up the mountain.

Old Yu looked at Tang Mo’s back and sighed heavily.

He called for an ambulance.

It was not easy to walk on the mountain and there would be occasional tremors. Tang Mo was wearing a prosthetic leg and every step was extremely difficult.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The rescue team and official staff were still searching around, but they did not find Nan Xun at Father Nan’s grave.

The situation was rather dangerous.

Tang Mo stood in front of Father Nan’s tombstone and looked around.

He was like a headless fly, panicked and confused.

Damn woman, nothing must happen to her!

He cursed softly and started to search again.

He firmly believed that nothing would happen to her so easily!

She was so strong and tenacious. She would definitely think of a way to live well!

When he found her, he would scold her or beat her up!

Tang Mo thought about many things when he suddenly stepped on a pile of loose stones. His tall body took a few steps back uncontrollably.

Asharp pain came from the leg that had undergone surgery.

He gritted his teeth and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.

He searched for nearly two hours and his legs did not seem to belong to him anymore. Just when he could not walk anymore, he saw a slender figure at a place downhill.

an Xun fell down the hill and hit her head on a tree, fainting.

Because the place where she had fallen was blocked by dense leaves, she could not be seen at all if one did not look carefully.

Tang Mo’s suspended heart fell slightly.

gnoring the sharp pain in his calf, he slid down the hill and picked up the unconscious woman.

He used almost all of his strength to carry her up.

Old Yu had been waiting at the foot of the mountain. When he saw Tang Mo carrying Nan Xun down covered in mud, he was terrified. Didn’t that young master know about his own condition?

Old Yu immediately went forward, wanting to take Nan Xun from Tang Mo.

Tang Mo did not move.

Old Yu seemed to have thought of something and immediately waved for the medical staff waiting by the side to bring a stretcher forward.

Tang Mo placed Nan Xun on the stretcher. He wanted to follow her to the ambulance, but he could not take another step. He placed a hand on Old Yu’s shoulder, his handsome features slightly distorted by the pain.

Old Yu could tell that Tang Mo was holding it in and said, “I’ll get the doctor to treat you immediately.”

Tang Mo closed his eyes and said hoarsely, “Send her to the hospital first. Help me into the car.”

After Nan Xun was sent to the town’s hospital, Old Yu asked the doctor who stayed behind to check on Tang Mo.

The doctor rolled up Tang Mo’s pants and gasped. “The wound is inflamed. I can only disinfect it simply here. It’s so serious. We still have to return to the city.”

Tang Mo clenched his jaw. “I’ll go see Nan Xun first.”

Old Yu frowned and said nothing. He drove to the city.

By the time Tang Mo realized that something was wrong, Old Yu had already driven the car to the city.

Tang Mo’s expression darkened. “I said I want to see my wife first!”

Old Yu had endured Tang Mo all the way and now, he could not hold it in anymore. “The doctor said earlier that Mrs Tang’s life will not be in danger. On the other hand, if Young Master Tang’s wound is not treated in

time, you will have to amputate another limb and your life might be in danger!”

“We have to inform the doctors in Y City immediately to treat your wound. If we delay any longer, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see Mrs Tang alive!”

Tang Mo’s handsome face was tense and his slender eyes were red. He clenched his fists and punched the car window hard.

He looked up slightly, a mocking smile on his lips. “If 1 was healthy, I would be by her side. I’ve become a useless person after all. Ha.”

Seeing Tang Mo’s expression, Old Yu had mixed feelings.

Nan Xun slowly woke up and opened her eyes. She blinked when she saw the white ceiling.

A warm hand held her hand tightly. “Xun’er, you’re awake?”

The man’s clear and pleasant voice sounded by her ear.

Nan Xun slowly turned around and was stunned for a few seconds when she saw that clean and handsome face.

Her memories were still of when she was about to walk down the mountain after paying respects to her father, when the ground suddenly shook. She realized what had happened and immediately ran to a safe place.

However, humans were extremely small in front of natural disasters. Soon, she fell and rolled down a hill. The back of her head hit a tree and she blacked out.

She did not know who had saved her, nor did she know who had sent her to the hospital.

Was it Xiao Mo?

Nan Xun blinked. Her throat hurt and she said hoarsely, “Why are you here?”

“I came to see your grandmother. I didn’t expect you to come back so coincidentally. When I arrived at your house, there was an earthquake. When I found out that you were on the mountain, I went to find you…”

Xiao Mo did look for Nan Xun, but he did not find her. When he saw her, she was in Tang Mo’s arms.

“Thank… thank you.” Nan Xun felt her hand being held by Xiao Mo. Thinking that she had not divorced Tang Mo, she hurriedly retracted her hand. She sized up Xiao Mo and saw that there were several scratches on his

face and his clothes were torn. She asked worriedly, “Are you injured anywhere?”

Xiao Mo shook his head. “It’s just a small injury, it’s nothing.” Seeing that Nan Xun was about to sit up, Xiao Mo immediately stopped her. “Don’t get up. The doctor said that you have a slight concussion and need to rest

in bed.”

Nan Xun wanted to say something when the door was pushed open.

Grandma walked in with her cane. “Xun’er, are you alright?”

“Grandma, I’m fine.”

Grandma saw Xiao Mo by the bed and thought that he was Nan Xun’s husband. “Xun’er, you married a good man. When he came to our house, there was an earthquake. When he heard that you were still on the

mountain, he went to look for you regardless of the danger.”

Nan Xun said awkwardly, “Grandma, he’s my friend, not the one I married.”

When Grandma heard this, she was a little embarrassed. “So you’re Xun’er’s friend. Young man, thank you for finding our Xun’er.”

Xiao Mo wanted to explain that he had not found Nan Xun, but he could not tell them the truth..
