Wei Zhao nodded. "In that case, I'd better heal the injuries to my body first before anything else..."

"Xiaoshu, could you steady yourself a bit? How are you carrying him? If you keep jostling like that, your Arrow-Badge Brother is going to be shaken to death." Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were carrying Wei Zhao down the mountain between them.
The two girls had finished tending to Wei Zhao's wounds, and they dared not linger on the mountain any longer lest Zhen Yingjun's men come back—in which case not only Wei Zhao but they themselves would be in grave danger!
The cell phone had been taken by Zhen Yingjun's underlings, and when Gu Mengyao fished Wei Zhao's phone out of his pocket, it had been blown to pieces—utterly unusable, with not even half of the flip cover to be found.
Unable to call for help and worried sick over Wei Zhao's injuries, they carried him down the mountain, one on each side! Gu Mengyao had originally meant to carry Wei Zhao on her back, but she found the mountain path far too steep—after nearly flinging him off, she abandoned the idea and had Xiaoshu help her carry him instead.
So Gu Mengyao gripped Wei Zhao's feet and lifted his legs in front, while Shen Yushu supported him under the arms and carried his upper body in the rear.
The two of them moved one before the other, picking their way cautiously down the mountain. On a slope this steep, even a person carrying nothing at all could easily fall and hurt themselves, let alone two people hauling an injured man between them.
"Oh, all right!" It was Shen Yushu's first time carrying anyone too, so she could only grope her way toward some method; how could she be skilled at it right away? As she spoke, she tightened her hands again, bracing Wei Zhao's head against her belly and trying as best she could to keep him from swaying.
"Are you trying to smother him? With a chest that size, you're covering his whole head!" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a speechless glare and said.
"Ah... then what am I supposed to do? It grew this big on its own, and I can't just cut it off, that would hurt to death!" Shen Yushu wanted to shift Wei Zhao's head out from under her chest, but she was afraid of dropping him, so she said helplessly, "Sister Yaoyao, why don't you take the back instead? Your chest is small, you won't smother him!"
"!!!!" That one sentence from Shen Yushu nearly made Gu Mengyao explode with fury! What do you mean, my chest is small? Mine is exactly the right size, all right? Who's a great milch cow like you? Gu Mengyao gave a cold humph and shot back, "You just keep carrying him. You're too short, you're not suited to walking in front!"
Shen Yushu was not annoyed; she knew she was not as tall as Gu Mengyao, and said with a grin, "Fine."
"Ah..." Gu Mengyao had taken only two steps when her foot slipped; she staggered and lost her balance, pitching forward. But fearing she would drop Wei Zhao, she dared not let go to grab at the branches along the path. Instead she instinctively flung both hands high, and with a "thud," Gu Mengyao dropped to her knees on the ground.
