Chapter 701 Rock, Paper, Scissors

Huo Shaoting looked over leisurely. Long Jiuyan's method was inhumane enough. But he had to admit that this inhumane method was very effective. The three people who were shivering just now now went to work neatly. In the face of life and death, everything was trivial.

He took off his warmer and drier clothes and covered Bai Zhi with them, and hugged her tighter. With his other hand, he rubbed her hands vigorously, wanting her to be as warm as possible.

Suddenly, a bloody smell came into his nose. Huo Shaoting immediately turned Bai Zhi's head to the side. Under the cold light of the headlamp, the blood scab that had already condensed on the back of Bai Zhi's head turned from dark red to bright red, sticking to her hair, wet and dripping on his hand.

He quickly took off his close-fitting cotton vest and pressed tightly against the wound on her scalp.

Long Jiuyan was originally looking at the terrain they were in, and found something strange. He immediately walked towards the two of them. With the help of Huo Shaoting's headlamp, which was no longer on, he immediately squatted down and pinched Bai Zhi's wrist, which was getting colder and colder.

The weak pulse made his heart tighten. Even though he was a man of steel and not afraid of death, at this moment he was so nervous that his breathing became disordered.

"Baizhi, wake up, can you hear me?"

Long Jiuyan called, gently patting Baizhi's cheek. Baizhi's body temperature was too low, and the cold touch was like the last breath was frozen, making people's scalps tighten. He took off his clothes and wrapped Huo Shaoting together. The two of them hugged Baizhi in the middle, trying to let the temperature pass to Baizhi as much as possible.

Huo Shaoting had been smooth since he was a child, and at this moment he suddenly felt a kind of awe for life from his heart. He tightened his arms and let Baizhi stick to his almost frozen skin, "Baizhi, hold on a little longer, the people outside will come to rescue us soon."

As he spoke, he pulled her hand and put it to his mouth to warm it.

Long Jiuyan wrapped the three people tighter, and his hostility towards Huo Shaoting was also reluctantly accepted because he could serve as a human windbreak for Baizhi.

Bai Zhi was half asleep, and felt that she was squeezed between two walls. It was getting tighter and tighter, and she couldn't breathe smoothly. She suddenly opened her eyes. It was not two walls, but two exposed strong chest muscles. She was sandwiched between Huo Shaoting and Long Jiuyan.

No wonder she felt warm, it turned out that these two people gave her all their clothes.

Huo Shaoting found out that Bai Zhi woke up before Long Jiuyan. He was holding her hand to be friendly, but when he saw her staring at him with a pair of dark eyes, he immediately let go of her hand and touched her cheek.

"Awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and didn't dare to move. After all, if she wanted to sit up, she had to push the two away, and no matter where she put her hands, they would touch their naked skin.

She said hoarsely, "Put on your clothes quickly. It's too cold here. You will get sick."

Long Jiuyan saw that she woke up, and took her out of Huo Shaoting's arms. He gently covered her forehead with his broad palm, and then gently turned her head to check the wound. When he saw that the wound had scabbed again, his serious expression relaxed a little.

Bai Zhi saw that Long Jiuyan was so cautious, and she felt an indescribable touch in her heart. Such a decisive man actually had such a careful and soft side.

She quickly took off her clothes, smiled palely, and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm much better, and I'm not cold anymore. If you two get sick, I can't take care of you."

Huo Shaoting didn't refuse anymore. He picked up the blood-stained vest that had been crumpled into a ball, and tore it into strips with his hands. Without waiting for Bai Zhi to react, he wrapped the strips around her head, and tore off a piece of cloth without blood to pad her wound.

Bai Zhi and Long Jiuyan both stared at Huo Shaoting, the former embarrassed, the latter weird.

However, Huo Shaoting remained calm throughout the whole process. After finishing everything, he even smoothed Bai Zhi's messy hair with his big hands.

Bai Zhi was a little awkward with his actions. She smiled and thanked him, and handed him the sweater, "Put it on quickly."

Her voice had returned to normal, without hoarseness, and sounded particularly gentle. Long Jiuyan's face, which was already not very good-looking, became even darker at this moment. Looking at Huo Shaoting, his eyes were as cold as ice arrows.

Huo Shaoting didn't care. His eyes passed over the top of Bai Zhi's head, and he met Long Jiuyan's eyes without flinching. Sparks flew in an instant. Bai Zhi felt the subtle atmosphere and immediately sat up straight.

"Put on your clothes quickly, I feel cold just looking at you."

Huo Shaoting and Long Jiuyan still didn't move. Bai Zhi pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly. In fact, she didn't have much strength now, but she still spoke with difficulty, "Don't worry about me. Maybe I just bled. My mind is very clear now. I will hold on until the rescuers come down."

As she said that, she also stretched out her hand and pointed to her head. This hand-raising action made her sweat all over. Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and stood up, trying her best to avoid showing any abnormality.

Long Jiuyan looked at Bai Zhi with some uncertainty, "Are you really okay?"

"Of course."

Long Jiuyan knew that Bai Zhi had always been independent and didn't want to make others worry, so he symbolically put on a thin T-shirt and covered Bai Zhi with a sweater and coat again. Huo Shaoting did the same.

Bai Zhi frowned slightly. Were these two people competing to take off their clothes just now? So they took off their clothes to this extent? Thinking of this, she felt that the two people's fighting was both childish and cute.

She forced herself to stand up, "It's getting colder here, or why don't you run to keep warm?"

Huo Shaoting stepped forward, pulled up Bai Zhi's clothes that were too big, tied the left and right sleeves in front of her chest, and wrapped her more tightly. "The ground is full of ice. What if you slip while running around? It will also consume too much energy."

Bai Zhi knew that the two were staring at her, afraid that she would get into trouble again, especially the worry in Huo Shaoting's eyes, which he did not hide at all. She also felt the heat in her body was losing, and her legs and feet were no longer sensitive.

But she still pretended to be relaxed, not wanting to make the two too worried, "I am only the referee for you. You will have a rock-paper-scissors running competition. I will be the starting point, and the stone wall over the hot spring will be the end point. Whoever reaches the destination first will win."

"What's the benefit of us winning?" Long Jiu extended his arm and pulled Huo Shaoting one meter away from Bai Zhi, looking at her with burning eyes. She looked even thinner in the loose clothes. Although the light was dim, her pale face could not hide from his eyes.

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, and pinched her flesh with her hands hidden in her clothes, trying to make herself more awake. "Time passes too slowly when you just sit there. Why not move around a bit?"

"Okay." Huo Shaoting looked at Long Jiuyan with disdain, ready to play rock-paper-scissors with him.
