Escaped! (5)

Ah Mo quickly averted his gaze and turned to look towards the door. He reached out and gently patted Qi Lei's shoulders, then got up to leave...

Bam! Bam!

There was a knock on the door that interweaved with the sound of the storm. Moments after that, they could hear the sound of cursing interspersed with a heavy local accent.

"What now? Do you want to die?" As the person cursed, he looked through the slit in the door.

A mottled shadow appeared, and Ah Mo's anxious voice was heard saying, "Brother, our buddy is having a high fever. It's quite severe. Quickly get someone to take a look, or give him some medication for his fever. That'd be good too. He's been holding on for so many days now. If this keeps going on, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on much longer!" His concerned tone trembled slightly, leaving no doubt of the truth in his voice.
