Perilous Situations Everywhere chapter 3

Encountering a Leopard

Soon, Celis painfully got up from the ground, got into his car and chased after her.

In order to shake off Celis, Barbara turned off the headlights, stepped on the accelerator, then made a sharp turn, drove around a sand dune and headed back. She stopped the car behind a large sand dune, turned off the engine.

Celis chased up. Not seeing Barbara anywhere, he started to circle around. After circling for a while, he continued to chase forward. Only then did Barbara heave a long sigh of relief. At this time, she remembered Celis’s words “I have a way to save him even without a rope”. Could Celis really have a way? Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She quickly drove the car straight to Jiang Ran.

Barbara turned on the headlights and found Jiang Ran with the help of the light. He was so cold that his face had turned purple and he could hardly hold on anymore. At this moment, Barbara didn’t care about being shy. She shouted to Jiang Ran to hold on, then took off her long dress and underwear. She used a sharp knife to cut the clothes into wide strips, tied them together, and then tied them to the car. But the strips were still not long enough. Finally, she “connected” herself: she held the strip and slowly walked towards Jiang Ran. Thank God, their hands finally clasped together, and Jiang Ran was finally pulled out of the quagmire…

Back in the car, the two hugged each other tightly, and tears welled up in their eyes. Suddenly, Barbara noticed that there was a big cut on Jiang Ran’s thigh, and it was bleeding. She quickly treated his wound, and then she drove the car straight to the town hospital. A few hours later, the jeep drove out of the desert and entered a wilderness. By this time, it was dawn. Suddenly, Barbara noticed that there was a jeep parked not far ahead. There was someone in the car constantly honking the horn and shouting “Help”. She parked the car not far to the left of the jeep. Looking closely, she found that the person shouting “Help” in the car was actually Celis. But strangely, he only rolled down the car window a little bit and didn’t get out of the car. She wondered what tricks this bastard was up to. Just as Barbara was about to step on the accelerator and leave, she heard Celis crying and pleading, “Miss Barbara, for God’s sake, save me!”

It turned out that this guy had chased here last night. His car suddenly broke down. Before he could fix it, a fierce leopard came from nowhere. He was so scared that he got into the car and didn’t dare to come out. At this time, Barbara and Jiang Ran also noticed the leopard. It was lying in the grass beside the jeep!

Barbara was worried about Jiang Ran’s injury and was eager to drive away. Jiang Ran was very weak due to excessive blood loss. He gently persuaded Barbara, saying that there was no one in this place. Even if Celis wasn’t eaten by the leopard, he would die of thirst or hunger. Although Celis was not a good person, his crime didn’t deserve death. If they left him behind, it would be the same as Celis’s refusal to save Jiang Ran last night. Moreover, saving the dying and healing the wounded was also a doctor’s duty!

Barbara was deeply touched by the broad-mindedness of this Chinese doctor, Jiang Ran. So she reversed the car, turned around and drove to drive the leopard away. After the leopard was scared away, Celis jumped out of the jeep and quickly got into Barbara’s car. Barbara drove the car, carrying the seriously injured Jiang Ran towards the town hospital. But after driving less than a mile, the car stalled. It was out of gas. Fortunately, there was spare fuel in the trunk. Barbara asked Celis to get out of the car and refuel. But as soon as Celis got out of the car, he panicked and got back into the car. It turned out that the leopard had chased after them again. It rushed towards the car like an arrow and angrily scratched the car window glass with its claws!
