She called Zhou Xuan a few more times, but Zhou Xuan did not respond. His hands hung limply at Wei Xiaoyu's chest. Wei Xiaoyu couldn't help but shed tears again. Her hair fell in front of her face, and sweat dripped down her hair. She didn't know if it was sweat or tears.
Worried about Zhou Xuan's safety, even though she wanted to die with him, Wei Xiaoyu couldn't let Zhou Xuan die after escaping!
Gritting her teeth, Wei Xiaoyu carried Zhou Xuan down the mountain with all her might. Her eyes were still adjusting to the bright light, and tears were already streaming down her face. The strong light made the tears flow even more uncontrollably. She tripped on the path and both she and Zhou Xuan tumbled into the grass. After getting up and helping Zhou Xuan up, she saw that he had hit his forehead on a rock and had a cut on his forehead, with blood flowing down half of his face. She tried to call out to him, but she couldn't wake him up.
Wei Xiaoyu cried helplessly, never feeling so weak. But despite her tears, she got up and carried Zhou Xuan on her back again. They walked unsteadily for more than an hour before finally getting down the mountain.
There weren't many people in the small town. The elderly, children, men, and women on the roadside stared at Wei Xiaoyu with great curiosity.
It's already surprising to see such a beautiful girl here, but it's even stranger that she's carrying a man whose face is covered in blood!
As soon as Wei Xiaoyu saw that there were more people, she quickly asked, "Big brother, big sister, where is the hospital in this town?"
His voice was trembling with sobs.
"Sister, there's no hospital here on Moyin Mountain. There's a hospital down the mountain, but it's a small one. We only have a clinic here, and one person!"
Seeing Wei Xiaoyu's anxious expression, one of the men quickly pointed ahead and told her the direction of the clinic.
Right there on this small village street, Wei Xiaoyu didn't even remember to say thank you. She quickly carried Zhou Xuan on her back and walked in that direction. She still had some impression of the street. It wasn't big, with only a few dozen households. The small inn where she and Zhou Xuan stayed that night was just ahead. It was just night, so they didn't see the clinic.
In reality, this so-called clinic was just a private house. The entrance hall was where injections and IV drips were administered, and the inner room on the right was the pharmacy. The window served as the counter for selling medicines, and some medicines were displayed on a simple wooden shelf inside the room.
The shop owner, who was also the doctor, was a man in his forties. Wei Xiaoyu carried Zhou Xuan through the gate and placed him on a wooden bed. Without even wiping away her sweat, she quickly said to the man, "Doctor, please save him! Doctor, please save him!"
Inside the hall, two women were holding children and receiving intravenous fluids. When the male doctor saw Wei Xiaoyu's anxious and haggard appearance, her hair soaked with sweat, and Zhou Xuan's face covered in blood and unconscious, he was startled and quickly ran over to ask, "What happened? Did you fall or something?"
Wei Xiaoyu choked back tears as she said, "He did fall and hit his forehead, but... but... I can't wake him up..."
Wei Xiaoyu, of course, couldn't bring herself to reveal the real cause of her illness.
The doctor quickly gave him a cursory examination and found that the injury on his forehead was just a minor superficial wound that had already stopped bleeding on its own. It was just that the blood that had initially flowed was all over his face, making it look frightening. However, he couldn't figure out why he had fainted. Based on his experience, he checked his heartbeat and then looked at his pupils. Finally, he hesitated and said, "This... young lady, your friend's illness is very strange. I can't diagnose it right away because of the limitations of the equipment and facilities. You'd better go to a large hospital in the city for treatment. For now, I can only bandage the external injury on his forehead!"
He then took out some alcohol disinfectant, gauze, and adhesive tape, and while disinfecting, applying medicine, and bandaging, he asked, "Young lady, I know everyone here. You're not locals; are you here for sightseeing?"
"Yes, he is my boyfriend. We went up the mountain, and my boyfriend suddenly fainted. I fell while carrying him down the mountain, and the injury on his forehead is from that fall!"
The doctor looked at Wei Xiaoyu again, somewhat disbelieving: "Girl, did you carry this down from the mountain? I can't tell, I can't tell!"
However, looking at Wei Xiaoyu's haggard and tired face, and her sad and worried expression, it was obviously genuine.
"Young lady, I never imagined that such a delicate girl like you could carry such a big man down the mountain!" The doctor sighed, then added, "However, I still advise you to find a car to take your boyfriend to the city. His illness... seems very strange to me. For your safety, you'd better find a car to get down the mountain as soon as possible, lest something serious happen!"
Wei Xiaoyu said urgently, "Doctor, you're from around here, you know the area well, could you help me call a car?" She quickly added, "Any price is fine, as long as we can get down the mountain as soon as possible!"
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then called out into the room, "Wife, go and call Chen San over. Tell him you're taking someone to the city, quick!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
A voice responded from inside, and then a woman with disheveled hair came out. When she saw Wei Xiaoyu, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was rare to see such a beautiful girl in these mountains. Although she looked very haggard and her hair was as messy as her, you could tell from her bones that she was different from Wei Xiaoyu!

Volume 1, Chapter 348
Chen San's car was a rather dilapidated Chang'an minivan. Perhaps because it was frequently used to transport people and livestock, it reeked of chicken and duck. However, Wei Xiaoyu naturally didn't care about that; even if it smelled terrible, finding a car in this place was already a stroke of luck.
Chen San was a man in his thirties. The first thing he said to Wei Xiaoyu when he saw her was that the fare was two hundred yuan. Without thinking, Wei Xiaoyu took out five hundred yuan and gave it to him, saying, "Money is not a problem. Please take us to the hospital in the city as soon as possible."
Money makes the world go round. When Chen San saw Wei Xiaoyu, he not only didn't haggle with her, but also directly raised the price he offered from two hundred yuan to five hundred yuan. Cash transaction, how could anyone be unhappy? He quickly helped her with a smile.
Wei Xiaoyu politely declined, but then carried Zhou Xuan to the side of the street and got into his car. Zhou Xuan still hadn't woken up. Chen San's car was very old, and the road was bad. Fortunately, it was daytime this time, so it wasn't as difficult as at night, but it still shook a lot.
After passing Jigen Road and reaching the town road at the foot of the mountain, although it was still narrow, the road was paved, the car stopped shaking, and the speed increased significantly. It took nearly two hours to reach the main highway outside Jiangbei City, where the speed increased even more.
It only took half an hour to get to the city hospital. Wei Xiaoyu hurriedly carried Zhou Xuan out of the car and into the hospital emergency room. She anxiously urged the doctor on duty, and then the nurse quickly called a doctor. After making a diagnosis, the doctor asked Wei Xiaoyu to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan before conducting more detailed examinations. The diagnosis could only be determined after a consultation with experts. At present, the diagnosis could not be determined based on the superficial examination.
Without hesitation, Wei Xiaoyu went to the payment counter outside, swiped her card, and paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan.
It wasn't until after 5 p.m. that the consultation concluded that Zhou Xuan had suffered extreme psychological trauma and was currently in a vegetative state. They had no idea whether he could wake up. It was strange, though, because people in a vegetative state usually suffer severe trauma to the brain or vital organs, such as being shot or falling from a height. But Zhou Xuan had no obvious external injuries, and his brain was not seriously injured. The wound on his forehead was just a superficial injury and would not cause any damage to his brain.
Wei Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard this. She understood that Zhou Xuan probably used too much of his superpower when climbing the cliff. Using superpowers probably means using your brain. Overusing your brainpower is what caused the current situation!
We don't know what will happen, or whether Zhou Xuan will wake up. The hospital is only providing normal treatment, IV fluids, and nutritional supplements.
The hospital opened a private room, and Wei Xiaoyu naturally didn't care about the money. She wanted everything to be the best. Because of her worries, she didn't care about herself and stayed in the room with Zhou Xuan, never leaving his side.
Looking at Zhou Xuan's gaunt face, Wei Xiaoyu felt a pang of heartache. Zhou Xuan had clearly done everything for her. Besides, in the most dangerous times, when had Zhou Xuan not protected her well in every way? He almost completely disregarded his own safety. If she had to say that she had fallen for such a man, it would be worth it. As the saying goes, it's easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find a true lover!
Zhou Xuan wasn't actually in a vegetative state, devoid of feeling or thought. It was just that the icy energy had severely depleted his spirit, which made him appear that way. In reality, he could feel everything. From the moment Wei Xiaoyu carried him down the mountain, to the time he rode in Chen San's car to the city, and then to the hospital treatment, Zhou Xuan could feel everything, but he just couldn't open his eyes and wake up.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan was also secretly recovering his physical strength and ice energy. However, this time the loss was more severe than ever before. In the past, at the worst point, it was only that his ice energy was exhausted. But this time, even though his ice energy was completely depleted, he still forcibly used his mental energy to persevere. He had used up all his life potential in advance, so it was not so easy for him to fully recover.
Besides, the crystal is gone now. If I had the crystal, restoring my ice energy would be a piece of cake. Now that the crystal has been stolen, it's just a pipe dream to be able to do what I used to.
However, after nearly twenty hours, Zhou Xuan finally managed to recover 10% of his ice-energy ability. It was impossible for him to use it to convert and devour enemies to fight and heal, but it was perfectly fine for normal walking and movement.
When I opened my eyes, the sunlight outside the window was dazzling.
Zhou Xuan looked in front of him and saw Wei Xiaoyu sleeping with her head down on his hospital bed, her black hair falling down and covering most of her face.
With a sigh, Zhou Xuan was in a dilemma and didn't want to think about these things anymore. Favors are easy to repay, but romantic debts are hard to settle. He wasn't a playboy and couldn't do something like leaving a trail of romantic entanglements. Besides, Wei Xiaoyu and Wei Xiaoqing were just like Fu Ying, the proudest and most outstanding girls in the world, the pride of heaven. To have even one of them in one's life would be a blessing for him. He didn't want to think about it anymore.
When Wei Xiaoyu was in danger, he couldn't help but lend a hand, but he also couldn't accept Wei Xiaoyu's feelings for him. He understood this, and Wei Xiaoyu understood it too.
Wei Xiaoyu stirred, looked up, and saw Zhou Xuan staring at her with his eyes open. She froze for a moment, then realized what was happening, and tears welled up in her eyes again. But she said joyfully, "Zhou Xuan, you're awake..."
Wei Xiaoyu made no attempt to hide her feelings and moved closer, cupping Zhou Xuan's face in her hands to examine it closely, while tears dripped one by one onto Zhou Xuan's hands.
