Chapter 142 Rescued
  When Fang Qing woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

  Seeing her wake up, Wen Ning, who had been guarding her all night, finally smiled, stood up and helped her sit up straight, "How is it, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

  Fang Qing only felt her throat was very dry and itchy, and she had no strength at all. She opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't make a sound because of the dryness.

  Wen Ning immediately brought a glass of warm boiled water, "Don't rush to speak, drink some water to moisten your throat. You had a fever last night, and it went away this morning. I'll make you some porridge later, remember to drink some."

  After listening to Wen Ning's explanation, Fang Qing finally understood why she felt so uncomfortable. With Wen Ning's help, she drank half a glass of water, her dry throat finally able to utter a few words. "Brother Ning, where are we? When did you get here?"

  Seeing that she was in good spirits, Wen Ning, nervous after a night of anxiety, finally relaxed. "We found you on the mountain in the early hours of yesterday morning and transported you down the mountain overnight. But because you stayed in the cave for so long, you were not only dehydrated but also had a fever, so we set up a makeshift clinic here."

  Wen Ning recalled Fang Qing's frail appearance in his arms as he carried her down the mountain last night, and even now, he still felt a lingering fear. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had arrived a moment later, and he held Fang Qing tightly in his arms. "You have no idea, I was so scared back then."

  Fang Qing was now much more sober, and she could hear the tension in Wen Ning's words. She raised her hand and gently patted his back. "I'm sorry for worrying you."

  Wen Ning nodded, got up, and got her some warm porridge. After she finished eating, he got up and left.

  "I'll be heading to another village with the rescue team soon. Several nearby villages have been affected by this landslide. You rest here. Once this mission is complete, we'll return to school together." After settling

  Fang Qing down, Wen Ning set off with the rescue team. After a long day in the clinic, Fang Qing gradually regained strength thanks to the medicine and food.

  By evening, Fang Qing was finally able to stand up, supported by a chair. Although his legs were still a little sore, he could feel himself getting better.

  The clinic was located in an open space outside the village entrance. Several tents were set up around it, and people were coming and going, cooking over fires.

  Watching the smoke curling from outside the tents, Fang Qing felt as if the thrilling scenes of the previous two days had all been a dream.

  "Fang Qing, are you awake?" Xiaofang,

  a classmate, saw Fang Qing standing at the tent door, carrying a basin, as he approached from a distance.

  Fang Qing looked at her damp hair. Xiaofang's pale face flushed slightly from the heat. He smiled and greeted her. "Well, you've been lying down all day, so you're out for a walk. You look much better now. By the way, have you seen Wang Nan and Zhang Jiaqi?"

  Xiaofang had secretly left two extra packets of biscuits when distributing the food, so she was clearly in much better shape than Fang Qing and the others.

  She even walked down the mountain on her own. She looked at Fang Qing's pale face and secretly laughed at her folly for being so generous and giving away her belongings. But if Fang Qing hadn't shared her things, she wouldn't have been able to make it this far.

  After a few pleasantries, Xiaofang pointed to a tent not far away. "They're in that tent. I heard they have an inflammation and a fever, so they're on IV drips. They should be awake now. You can go check on them."

  Fang Qing, leaning on a wooden stick, limped towards the tent.

  But before he reached the door, the tent curtain was lifted.

  Zhao Qiang walked out with a dejected look on his face. He was obviously stunned when he saw her, then nodded awkwardly and coughed, "They're awake, you go check on them."

  After that, he ignored Fang Qing's call and left.

  Fang Qing walked into the tent and found Zhang Jiaqi sitting on the hospital bed gnawing on a large piece of bread, while Wang Nan on the side was grinning at her, "Tsk, you damn Jiaqi, that was given to me by someone else! Give it back to me, I haven't eaten a single bite yet, hey, leave some for me!"

  Wang Nan saw Fang Qing at the door when she turned her head, and immediately widened her eyes in surprise, "Oh, Fang Qing is here, where have you been? We didn't find you when we woke up, and we thought something happened to you!"

  Fang Qing saw that she was obviously much more lively than that day. Although he didn't understand what happened, it was not easy to mention those unpleasant things.

  She slowly sat down next to Zhang Jiaqi's bed. "I was in a tent over there and asked two people before I found out you were here. I was worried you two were seriously injured, but it turns out you're fighting over food."

  Fang Jiaqi laughed heartlessly and took another big bite of the bread in front of Wang Nan. "Oh, this old-fashioned bread is so delicious..."

  This action immediately made Wang Nan furious. She leaned on her crutches and tried to get out of bed to fight with her. Fang Qing saw Wang Nan grimacing in pain, but still not forgetting the bread, and suddenly felt a little funny.

  "Can't you two be more ambitious? It's just a loaf of bread, what's the big deal?"

  Before Wang Nan could say anything, Zhang Jiaqi grinned. "Bread... just ordinary bread, but the person who delivered it... is something else. Hey, you know what, there's some truth to the saying 'a friend in need is a friend indeed!' Take this loaf of bread in my hand, for example; it smells like a lover's..."

  Before Fang Qing could react, Wang Nan's face flushed slightly. Thinking back to Zhao Qiang, who had just emerged from the tent, she seemed to understand something.

  Due to a landslide, their class's field trip was temporarily suspended. After two days of rest, the school sent a special vehicle to bring all of them back to campus.

  The student who fell into the ravine has been found.

  Although he was lucky enough to avoid the falling rocks and mud, due to prolonged dehydration and hypothermia, he was already dying when rescuers found him and remains in the hospital's intensive care unit.

  A few days later, the school held a safety education meeting. Fang Qing's instructor was also held primarily responsible for the accident and was punished.

  Fortunately, the student was finally out of danger a few days later, and the instructor was not transferred from his post. Everyone donated money and sent the money to the student's parents.

  Wen Ning's active participation in the rescue not only saved the school's image, but also earned him praise from the school.

  After Fang Qing returned to school and fully recovered, Ah Cheng came to the school to pick them up, "Miss Fang, Madam is very worried about you and would like to invite you two to have a simple meal at home."
