Chapter 96: Encountering a master, liver function damaged
"careful!"
Du Ruo was quick-witted and took a step forward, protecting the back of Xiang Yuanyuan's head with one hand and placing the other hand on the other's waist, preventing Xiang Yuanyuan from suffering secondary injuries after falling.
In this situation, he was the only one who dared to loosen the chain to rescue others. The others around him wanted to but were powerless. They held the chain tighter and walked more carefully, for fear of making any mistakes.
"How are you?"
Du Ruo held the other person's head with one hand and his waist with the other. Xiang Yuanyuan was almost half lying in his arms, holding Du Ruo's arms tightly with both hands. Her face was pale and her legs were shaking a little.
"I suddenly felt a little dizzy just now, and my legs went weak, so I twisted my ankle."
Xiang Yuanyuan spoke in a very low voice, still looking a little frightened.
Spraining her ankle was not a big deal, and she almost fell down, which was not terrible. What was most terrible was if she had slipped off the chain after falling down. This was Carp's Back, above the sea of clouds, and there was absolutely no possibility of survival if she slipped down here.
"Can I still leave?"
Du Ruo turned around and saw that there were already a lot of people lined up behind him. The carp back was less than one meter wide, and there were railings and iron chains. Once the two of them stopped in the middle, the people behind them could not pass. However, no one urged them too much, but just looked at Xiang Yuanyuan curiously to see what was wrong.
"It hurts. I can't walk."
Xiang Yuanyuan's face showed pain and she didn't dare to stand up. Being above the sea of clouds, not everyone would have the courage to walk without the chains with both hands like Du Ruo did.
"Hold tight!"
Du Ruo said something, put one hand on Xiang Yuanyuan's knee, supported her shoulder with the other hand, picked her up, and then stood up and walked on the carp's back.
Xiang Yuanyuan had never been hugged like this before, so she quickly put her arms around Du Ruo's neck.
"There are too many people here. We are blocking others. Let's get off here and I will help check your ankle later."
Du Ruo had no intention of taking advantage of others. This was a famous tourist attraction and there were many people here. It was just raining today so many people didn't dare to climb here. If they did, they would have to wait in line for half an hour to get up.
"Wow, how romantic."
A few little girls at the back saw this scene and even expressed their feelings.
Du Ruo held Xiang Yuanyuan in his arms, and did not hold the iron chain, nor did he bend over or squat while walking. Instead, he stood up and strode forward. The two of them seemed to be walking in the clouds, full of romance.
However, no one asked their boyfriend to do so. In a place like this, even if someone dared to hug them, they might not dare to be hugged. Du Ruo was extremely confident in herself. People who practiced martial arts had strong lower bodies and were extremely stable, so they were not afraid of slipping or stepping on empty air.
The total length of Carp Back is over 100 meters, and the most dangerous part is more than 10 meters. It is only one meter wide throughout the entire journey, and the narrowest part is only 20 centimeters. After the two of them stopped just now, there was no one in front of them, so Du Ruo walked very fast and got off Carp Back in less than half a minute.
"Are you still dizzy?"
When they arrived at a slightly wider place, Du Ruo put her down and let her lean against a rock to rest for a while. Seeing that her face was turning pale, he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Yeah, I feel weak all over, and my vision is a little dark."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded slightly, feeling a little sleepy and unable to open her eyes.
"Handsome, your girlfriend may have low blood sugar. Here is a piece of chocolate. Feed it to your girlfriend. If there is any beverage, she can drink some. It will quickly relieve the symptoms. Otherwise, your girlfriend will faint in a while."
At this time, a little girl next to her seemed to be very familiar with Xiang Yuanyuan's situation. She took out a piece of chocolate from her backpack and handed it to Du Ruo.
"Okay, thank you."
Du Ruo thanked him and took it, quickly tore open the chocolate wrapper and handed it to Xiang Yuanyuan's mouth.
Xiang Yuanyuan took a bite and her symptoms were relieved immediately. She took the chocolate from Du Ruo with both hands and drank it slowly by herself.
Seeing this, Du Ruo took off the water bottle from Xiang Yuanyuan's waist and wanted to let Xiang Yuanyuan drink some water.
"Don't~"
Xiang Yuanyuan wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Du Ruo turned on the kettle immediately, and then a strong aroma of wine began to fill the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
"You shouldn't drink alcohol if you have low blood sugar. Don't drink on the way. Drink my water instead."
Du Ruo put the lid of the kettle back on and did not hand it to Xiang Yuanyuan. Instead, he handed the half-drunk water in his pocket to Xiang Yuanyuan.
It’s not that drinking water can relieve hypoglycemia, but it is to get food into the stomach faster.
"I didn't mean to do that. My kettle was always filled with wine, and I just took it today."
Xiang Yuanyuan had already finished eating the chocolate, and for some unknown reason, she explained in a low voice.
"Haha, it's impossible to quit drinking all at once. Just drink less slowly. I think your physical condition is probably related to drinking. Let's go to the hospital later. I'll take a look at your feet first."
Du Ruo smiled, squatted down and lifted Xiang Yuanyuan's feet slightly. They were going mountain climbing today, and it was raining on the mountain, so Xiang Yuanyuan wore loose jeans and there was no need to worry about exposing herself.
"No bones were injured, but it's a little swollen. I'm afraid I can't continue climbing the mountain."
Du Ruo saw that Xiang Yuanyuan's ankle was a little red and swollen, so he channeled his energy into his hands and pressed it with the Bronze Man Technique. He found that the bones were not dislocated and the tendons were not seriously injured. It was just a slight sprain and some blood vessels were injured. She could still walk on tiptoe normally, but she couldn't climb the mountain.
The two of them didn't speak after that. Du Ruo squatted aside and watched Xiang Yuanyuan finish eating the chocolate. After confirming that she had recovered, Du Ruo moved his feet and squatted in front of Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Come on up, you can't walk any further. If you walk forward, your relatively minor sprain will probably get worse."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't say much. She knew her situation better than anyone else. It hurt if she moved the slightest, so she just lay on Du Ruo's back and let him carry her.
"Let's go to the cable car station and take the cable car down now."
Du Ruo staggered for a moment and adjusted his carrying posture. Xiang Yuanyuan was not heavy, probably only about 100 pounds. This burden was nothing to him. Moreover, Xiang Yuanyuan had a good figure, so it was quite comfortable to carry her soft body on his back. If she was too thin, it would probably be a bit uncomfortable.
"Let's not take the cable car. I've never been carried up a mountain before. It seems like I can see Huangshan farther this way."
Xiang Yuanyuan blushed, but she seemed to have discovered a new world. Her vision was wider than before, and she didn't have to climb by herself since she was being carried on his back, so she could enjoy the scenery the whole time. She knew that Du Ruo was very capable, and that carrying her on his back would definitely not be a burden, so she said that.
"Well, you still know how to have fun. Let's go, but you can't go up the mountain anymore. If we go down now, we should be able to get to the hospital by noon. You need to get a check-up to see what's wrong."
Du Ruo didn't object. For him, climbing a mountain has never been a difficult task or a challenge.
"It's just low blood sugar. It's not necessary."
Xiang Yuanyuan muttered something in a low voice, but it was said right next to Du Ruo's ear. Du Ruo heard it clearly, but did not respond. He checked to make sure nothing was missing and then walked down the mountain.
It was also very difficult to get down from the carp's back, but this did not pose a problem for Du Ruo. He held Xiang Yuanyuan behind him with one hand and held the iron chain with the other, and he could walk briskly on the straight slope.
Yuanyuan was happy when she saw him. She looked left and right, occasionally shaking her feet happily, and she was almost singing.
After getting off the Liyubei, the road became easier to walk on. Carrying a person on my back did not affect me at all, and I even tended to walk faster and faster.
The passengers along the way were also curious about the combination of Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan. After all, this is Huangshan Mountain. It is already very difficult to climb the mountain independently. No one expected that there would be someone who could run so fast carrying others on his back. Many girls were very envious of Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Tsk, if my girlfriend was this pretty, I could also run very fast with her on my back."
……
Du Ruo walked faster and faster. He was keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully. There were many routes to Huangshan. Generally speaking, you could see different scenery if you stayed on the mountain for three to five days. It was impossible to see all the scenery of Huangshan at once. So the route Du Ruo took to go down the mountain was not very popular. After all, he just took a simple walk and came down. However, many people also went up the mountain on this unpopular route.
"Hey, be careful."
Just at a corner, after Du Ruo walked down, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and almost collided head-on with Du Ruo who was going down the mountain.
Du Ruo freed up one hand and was about to reach out and pull the other person's arm to prevent him from getting injured while dodging.
"It's okay. Just be careful when you go down the mountain."
Unexpectedly, the other party's movements became more violent. As if he was on fire, he suddenly rushed to the side and avoided Du Ruo's hand in an instant.
Du Ruo raised his eyebrows. Even though he was facing Yuanyuan with his back to her and was just trying to grab her arm in a normal way, Du Ruo had practiced martial arts before. Not to mention that he had integrated kung fu into his daily life, but even a simple grab was not something that ordinary people could dodge.
"Sorry, I was too fast. Sorry."
Du Ruo stopped and apologized to the man in front of him.
At the same time, he looked at the other person, who should be a middle-aged man in his forties, about meters tall, spoke with a slight accent, and was quite strong.
The most distinctive thing was the opponent's hands. Du Ruo could tell at a glance that the opponent had definitely practiced kung fu, and his skills should be quite good, because the man's fingers were rough, not just the ordinary roughness, but the joints were thick, the skin on his palms was yellowish and appeared extremely tough, and his middle finger was almost level with his index finger.
This is a sign of hard work and success in claw training. With such hands, if used to grapple or lock acupoints, every move will be accurate.
In addition, Du Ruo didn't hear the other person's footsteps just now. Although Du Ruo didn't concentrate all his five senses just now, he was still very careful for fear of bumping into people. If there were footsteps or heavy breathing around the corner, Du Ruo would definitely hear it.
If Du Ruo didn't hear it, it means that the other party has extremely strong physical strength, and no matter whether he is practicing external or internal martial arts, he has definitely made great progress in his practice.
So Du Ruo subconsciously looked at it carefully.
"Oh, it's okay, just be careful."
At this time, the other party saw clearly that Du Ruo was still carrying someone on his back, and guessed that Du Ruo might be in a hurry to get down the mountain, so he smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and continued climbing the mountain.
"what happened?"
Xiang Yuanyuan noticed that Du Ruo had a strange expression and asked in a low voice. They had already reached the foot of the mountain and could not see much scenery, so she did not pay attention to the surroundings.
"The one just now was a master."
Du Ruo replied and began to slow down his pace. He was just a little curious. Just now when he tried to grab the other party, the other party's subconscious dodge was a pure dodge, which a normal person could not dodge. The martial artist blocked subconsciously, and this kind of subconscious dodge was rare.
"How high is it?"
Xiang Yuanyuan shook her feet and asked curiously.
"It should be as high as the Banshan Pavilion."
"Wow, that's so tall, how about you?"
"I should be a little taller than him."
Du Ruo said this and made a gesture that could be destroyed by the Korean man.
"Is that so? Then the uncle just now must be very powerful."
……
Du Ruo didn't think much about it. Although that person would be very powerful, the two of them would only meet once, and the possibility of them having any intersection in such a chance encounter was not high.
Du Ruo did not choose to go to the medical room, but took the shuttle bus down the mountain.
There are many medical rooms in Huangshan that provide medical services to tourists, but that is for emergency situations. Xiang Yuanyuan's foot injury can only be said to be a minor injury now. If she has hypoglycemia, she needs to go to the hospital for a check-up.
For a normal person, hypoglycemia may not be a big deal, and they can just put a piece of candy in their pocket. But for an alcoholic like Yuanyuan, once she has hypoglycemia after drinking, it is possible that neither she nor others will be able to detect it, which would be dangerous. So Du Ruo decided to take her to the town hospital for a check-up.
When they went there, it was Xiang Yuanyuan who rode the electric scooter with Du Ruo, and now it is Du Ruo who rides the electric scooter with Xiang Yuanyuan.
The town is actually not big. After Du Ruo came out of the scenic area, it took about ten minutes to ride to the hospital.
The registration doctor asked a few questions and then started writing prescriptions and doing examinations.
After being busy for most of the day, the two went out to eat some food while waiting for the test results. This was the first time Du Ruo saw Xiang Yuanyuan eating rice noodles, and it was a rare occasion that they did not drink alcohol at noon. After all, no one knew if there would be another test in the afternoon.
After the test results are out, show them to the registered doctor.
"drink wine?"
"drink."
"Did you drink a lot?"
"Two pounds?"
"?"
"At least two kilograms of strong liquor every day."
Du Ruo replied from the side.
"?"
The doctor put down the list and looked at Xiang Yuanyuan in disbelief.
"You have a serious problem. Your liver function is seriously damaged. You need to get tested for alcohol addiction, have a blood test, and do an MRI. Only then can I prescribe medicine for you."
Next came another round of inspection.
After the doctor examined them, he just prescribed some medicine and let them leave.
"You drank so much in one day, and you're only slightly addicted?"
Du Ruo was a little bit unbelievable. Although Xiang Yuanyuan's liver function was damaged, she didn't need to be hospitalized. She was prescribed a lot of medicines, including liver-protecting and liver-tonifying medicines, and a lot of treatments, as well as alcohol-suppressing medicines and various vitamins.
"But you can't drink during this period."
Xiang Yuanyuan looks worried. Her liver function is damaged. If she continues to drink, it will definitely affect the treatment and may even make the condition worse.
"Dingling bell~~"
Xiang Yuanyuan was about to say something when her cell phone suddenly rang.
"Qiqi...you're here? Great, I really need you right now. Wait, I'll be back soon."
Xiang Yuanyuan hung up the phone and said to Du Ruo:
"Hurry up, Qiqi is at the tavern, and she brought her cousin with her."
