"Hmm, an hour and twenty minutes, I saw the time just awhile ago, wait, I'll go have a look,"
As the hunter spoke, he stood up and walked towards the middle of the river.
He estimated the river's width with a glance and then compared it to the downstream section.
"It seems to be getting narrower, if we keep going, I estimate in less than half an hour we should reach the upper end."
"Great, we can almost see hope now, come on, I'll carry you."
It was as if at this moment, his body was filled with vitality once again.
He reached out his hand and pulled Ling'er up.
"No, no, that's absolutely not okay. If you're carrying me, it'll be a bigger burden. Instead, let's try this, after you treated me just now, I do feel a lot better, though it still hurts a bit. If you both support me, one on each side, that should work."
"Is that possible? Can we manage that?"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem. If you each take one side like that, you can share the pressure between you."
