Starting with taking in female college students

Chen Rang concluded that the old man probably didn't fall from above.

She most likely climbed up the slope for some reason and then fell, hitting her head.

Although both are intimidating, the level of danger is completely different.

However, considering that the other person was a very elderly person, the injury was actually quite serious. Often, even minor falls can have serious consequences for the elderly, something that children must be aware of.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Chen Rang gently nudged the old man's shoulder, not daring to use too much force. After all, it was still unclear how badly the old man was injured, or whether there were any risks such as fractures.

For most people, it would be best to avoid contact with the injured person at this time. Leaving aside the possibility of someone turning on them, for non-professionals, misguided acts of goodwill could easily lead to a more serious situation.

Many times, tragedies that should never happen stem from a well-meaning person's wrong choice. For example, rushing to pick up the elderly person or help them to flat ground could create unnecessary risks.

After calling the police immediately, either follow the instructions given by the person on the phone, or simply help the elderly person with their weight and patiently wait for the ambulance to arrive.

Chen Rang only dared to step forward rashly because he had some professional experience.

His main concern was that something might happen to the elderly woman before the ambulance arrived; after all, only God knew how long she had been lying there.

"Ouch~"

The old man groaned, his voice very low and faint. Unless you got very close, even if you were only three or five meters away, you probably wouldn't be able to hear him.

This is probably why she has never been discovered.

Besides the fact that there were no lights and few people around in the river, so no one would wander down there late at night for no reason, another important reason was that she was unable to effectively call for help.

Even if Chen Rang hadn't been led here by the snow-covered cat, he wouldn't have discovered that there was a person lying here.

He stood there for a long time before coming down.

"Where do you feel unwell? I've already called an ambulance, and the doctor will be here soon. Please hang in there a little longer."

As Chen Rang inquired, he also tried to reassure the elderly woman. He knew that for elderly people who had experienced an accident, doctors were the only source of security. Telling them that a doctor was coming was more important than anything else at that moment.

Of course, rescuers should also call 120 immediately, instead of hesitating and not knowing what to do.

"It hurts~"

The old man took a small breath of cold air, his voice sounding very aggrieved.

"Where does it hurt?"

Chen Rang mustered all his strength, fearing that the old man might reveal some painful locations that would make his heart pound.

"It hurts everywhere..."

The old man's answer left people feeling helpless.

However, this is the norm for doctors; often, what you want to know and the patient's answer are completely unrelated.

So Chen Rang could only comfort the old man while carefully examining his condition. Fortunately, it was summer and the old man wasn't wearing many clothes, so the examination wasn't particularly difficult. If it were winter and the old man was wearing thick clothes, touching and examining him would be very inconvenient.

Of course, if the elderly person had been wearing more clothes in winter, they might not have fallen so hard.

Chen Rang spent two minutes and finally determined that apart from the old man's head hitting the stone slab on the slope hard, his body only had hard injuries from the fall, and no fractures or internal organ vibrations or other troublesome problems were found.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are no fractures or serious internal injuries, the injured person can be carefully moved to a position where she can relax.

To avoid falling, she was gripping the nearby haystack tightly, curling up to maintain her balance—a very strenuous position that could easily lead to a second accident.

"Gurgle~"

The Snow Cat, crouching two meters away, stared intently at Chen Rang.

Seeing Chen Rang hunch over and carefully move the old man to the flat ground below in a very awkward posture, it opened its mouth wide and yawned, then boredly scratched its beard with its paws.

It doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

Chen Rang glanced at it but didn't pay it much attention.

After the elderly woman lay down and relaxed, it was obvious that her complexion was much better than before. She even touched the sharp, jagged edge of the walkway next to her with a sense of unease, as if worried that she might accidentally fall into the river.

Are you feeling better now?

While asking questions, Chen Rang knelt down to examine the old man's forehead injury. After determining that it was only swelling and a minor bruise, he did not rush to clean the wound, but was relieved to confirm that it had stopped bleeding.

"Thank you, young man!"

The old woman opened her eyes, seemingly having regained some strength. However, the flashlight beam made her uncomfortable, so she frowned and squinted again.

Soon, she remembered something important and struggled to sit up. "Young man, could you check if my bag over there is still there? It has all the water bottles I've been collecting all day in it; I can't let anyone take them. Ouch, I fell while climbing up to get those bottles! Who's so bored as to leave their empty bottles in a place like that? That's just asking for trouble; they almost broke me..."

"Just to pick up a plastic bottle?"

Chen Rang was speechless.

But seeing that the old woman insisted on sitting up, he quickly comforted her and told her to lie down again, and then followed her instructions to go to a deeper place.

As Chen Rang approached, the snow-covered cat quickly jumped onto a slope to avoid him. Then, when Chen Rang shone his phone's light on it, he indeed saw a bulging black plastic bag not far behind it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bag full of various kinds of waste and garbage, most of which were beverage bottles.

Seeing that the old woman was still thinking about this thing even while lying down, and even kept muttering in a tone that seemed worried that Chen Rang would take the bag of trash away, he could only quickly bring the black bag to the old woman's side and put it down, where she took it and held it in her hand.

Chen Rang was speechless, wondering why the old man was doing this.

What about the elderly man's children? Can they really bear to watch him collecting bottles outside in the middle of the night, only to drop them where no one knows him? What if no one finds him and something even more dangerous happens?

"What business is it of theirs!"

Despite saying that, the old man still honestly gave Chen Rang his son's phone number.

Chen Rang quickly dialed the number.

"Hey! You found my mom? Oh dear, where is she? We've been looking for her for almost a whole day! More than a dozen police officers have been helping us search, but we still haven't found her... What? In Chai Wan? She's gone that far this time?"

The gasp on the other end of the phone made Chen Rang rub his ears.

After accepting the other party's thanks and receiving their promise to come immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of something else.

A dozen or so police officers helped search for most of the day... Could they be referring to Li Shiwei and her group? They've been looking for this old lady since the afternoon?

Chen Rang was speechless and quickly dialed Li Shiwei's phone number.

"No way? You found it? It fell on the riverbank, are you alright?"

Li Shiwei was surprised on the phone, but she was also very worried when she heard that the old man was injured. Hearing from Chen Rang that the old man was basically alright and that he had already called an ambulance, Li Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said she would come immediately.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, the cat with the dark cloud treading on snow widened its eyes, arched its back, and looked up at the riverbank.

Just then, a siren blared rapidly, growing louder as it approached—the distinctive sound of an ambulance. Chen Rang could even see red and blue light shining through from above, colors that symbolized a sense of reassurance and trust.

The ambulance arrived, and soon footsteps and shouts could be heard from above.

"It's down here! Come down slowly, be careful not to fall."

Chen Rang quickly called out.

He waved his phone light in the air, and soon the sounds converged on him.

At this moment, the Snow-Treading Cloud Cat seemed unwilling to see these strangers and quickly turned to hide in the darkness. Like a kind-hearted cat who does good deeds anonymously, it didn't intend to ask for any reward and simply disappeared.

"What a strange guy."

Chen Rang glanced at the spot where the Black Cloud Snow Cat had disappeared, pursed his lips as if to remember it, and then quickly headed towards the spot where the doctor had come down.
