Noelle ran over right away.

She took the herb first and checked it carefully. When she saw it was still in perfect condition, she let out a quiet breath of relief. But the moment she noticed the scrape on Sebastian’s arm, her face changed.
“Your arm is hurt!”
She looked worried. Quickly, she pulled out the small tube of ointment and clean bandages she carried with her. With gentle hands, she cleaned the wound and wrapped it.
Jasper stood to the side. He watched as Noelle focused only on Sebastian. Her eyes were full of concern for him. Jasper’s gaze slowly darkened.
His back hurt badly. When he had slipped earlier, sharp rocks had cut a long wound across his back. Blood had already soaked through his shirt.
It was obvious, but Noelle hadn’t noticed at all.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, yet no words came out. In the end, he simply turned away. He quietly rubbed some ointment on his wound. The disappointment and loss in his chest almost drowned him.
They didn’t dare stay long. The three of them quickly started heading down the mountain.
But when they reached halfway down, a deep rumbling sound echoed again from the distance. It sounded heavy and terrifying
Sebastian’s face changed instantly. “Shit! Another landslide! Run!”
He grabbed Noelle’s hand and took off.
Jasper followed right behind them.
The three of them scrambled down the slope, slipping and stumbling as they ran.
Just as they passed a thick patch of bushes, something suddenly shot out from the grass. A brightly colored snake lifted its head. Its body patterns were sharp and warning–colored–clearly a venomous snake, The snake aimed straight for the back of Noelle’s neck.
“Watch out!”
Jasper, running behind her, saw it. His pupils shrank. Without even thinking, he lunged forward and shoved Noelle away with all his strength.
The snake struck. Its fangs sank deep into Jasper’s calf.
“Arghh!”
Jasper cried out and fell to the ground.
The wound began to swell almost at once, turning dark. A numb feeling spread quickly from his lower leg and crept upward.
“Jasper!” Noelle stumbled after being pushed but quickly caught her balance. When she turned back and saw what happened, her face changed.

Sebastian stopped immediately and rushed back.
“It’s a copperhead! Very venomous!”

Noelle made the judgment in seconds. She looked at Sebastian. “You can’t carry him on your back. That would speed up blood flow and spread the poison faster. Pick him up. Carry him in your arms.”
Both men were speechless.
Jasper asked, “What?” He was already in pain, his teeth clenched. When he heard that, he almost choked. “Are you kidding me? I’m not letting him carry me like that! I’d rather die from the poison!”
Noelle snapped sharply. “Shut up!”
She tore open the leg of his pants and quickly tied a tight band of cloth above the bite to slow the poison from spreading. “If you want to die, then keep talking.”
Sebastian frowned. But when he saw Noelle’s serious expression and Jasper’s rapidly worsening wound, he stopped hesitating. He bent down, slipped one arm under Jasper’s knees and the other behind his back, and lifted him up.
Straight into a bridal carry.
“Put me down! Sebastian! Put me down right now!!”
Jasper almost lost his mind. He had never suffered such humiliation!
