The Blessed Princess
Chapter 129 Saved
In the pitch-black culverts, Xu Zhengyong tried to dig out the mud and rocks blocking the cave entrance.
However, even though this mudstone was soft, it seemed to be endless, if he dug a little, more would be collected.
Due to the lack of oxygen and hypothermia, Xu Zhengyong felt increasingly weak.
Wei Mingting said to Xu Zhengyong: "Sister Xiaoyong, rest first, if you continue like this, your body won't take it anymore."
Wei Mingting sat down beside him, and his breathing felt heavy as he spoke.
They had been trapped in these culverts for four hours, the air within the cave was thinning, at the same time, the humid and cold environment was also a big test for their bodies.
Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong were both martial arts practitioners, and their conditions were slightly better. The three villagers walking with them had curled up into a ball at the moment, and the weakest nine-year-old boy had fallen into a semi-coma state.
In this situation, it won't last long.
Looking at the three weak and dying villagers, Wei Mingting slightly blamed himself.
Although he rushed to rescue people, he still had no time, and faced a landslide on his way home.
Although they hid in the culverts in time to avoid being buried in place at a critical moment, it only delayed the time of their deaths.
After Xu Zhengyong tried for a while, he sat down next to Wei Mingting in frustration.
The ground is wet, and sitting is uncomfortable, but when dizzy, sitting can be a bit of a relief.
"I don't want to die yet .." Xu Zhengyong said angrily.
Xu Zhengyong was upset, he did not want to die, he did not fulfill his promise to sister Ruoer, he was not filial to his parents, he did not hear Xiumei call him big brother.
Are you really going to die here today?
"I understand your feelings, I don't want to die either, I'm not afraid of my own death, I'm just worried about my family..."
Wei Mingting felt uneasy at this moment, he had no idea what would happen to the Wei family, what would happen to his wife, son, and daughter when he died.
Xu Zhengyong looked at Wei Mingting, Xu Zhengyong felt Wei Mingting was highly qualified as a military commander, he admired him no matter if it was his military, martial arts, or love for the people.
But unfortunately, this man was not a good father so it caused his younger brother Ruoer to be bullied.
Thinking of Wei Ruo, Xu Zhengyong said: "I still haven't kept my promise ..."
The family of three hugged next to each other, the couple who still had sanity felt that there was no hope of survival, crying softly.
Just when the people inside the cave thought they were going to die here, suddenly a small light appeared above the cave entrance.
Is it an illusion?
Why is there light?
Is that the ghost messenger that came to pick them up and go to the underworld?
Since I have never died before, I do not know what to be like when the ghost messenger comes to seduce the soul.
Right now, the voices of some people were heard from outside.
"Can the people inside hear his voice? Master Wei Qian, Master Xu!"
Hearing that voice, both Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong stood up.
"We're here!" Wei Mingting replied with the greatest strength.
A man's voice rang out from outside, followed by a louder sound of a hoe and shovel.
Soon, the top third of the hole opened.
Then a middle-aged man walked out of the crack.
"Save those people first!" Wei Mingting said to those who descended.
The man nodded, then lifted the unconscious little boy out of the upper hole, and the other person on top responded and managed to save the boy.
Then came the boy's parents, then Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong.
When they came out, they realized that the rescuers were Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong were both shocked and delighted.
The words "Sister Ruo'er" appeared in his throat, Xu Zhengyong held him back.
On weekdays, no matter how old man Xu corrected him, they would not change their words.Xu Zhengyong, who had the face and skin to call out "Saudari Ruo'er" when he saw Wei Ruo, who had the face and skin to call out to him, not saying it at the moment.
At the time of being rescued, it was Wei Ruo who saw the savior, he was the most excited and wanted to immediately talk to Wei Ruo, who was the one who was the most excited and wanted to talk to Wei Ruo, but Xu Zhengyong knew that he could not do that with the presence of outsiders.he shouted like that, it would damage Wei Ruo's reputation.
Wei Ruo's gaze was also fixed on Xu Zhengyong, seeing him looking at him excitedly, opening his mouth but making no sound, he knew his intentions.
Wei Ruo was a little relieved that Brother Xiaoyong had grown up and would no longer act impulsively.
Although Wei Ruo and Xu Zhengyong did not speak to each other, the eye exchange was very clear, and Wei Jin who was beside Wei Ruo also noticed it.
"Jin Yi, Ruo! You why?" Wei Mingting was surprised, but also delighted.
"My brother heard that you were in danger, so he came here with me to seek and save, and my sister who knew that you were buried here." Wei Jin also explained.
"Ruo'er, how did you find us here?" Wei Mingting asked Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo explained: "I was thinking about what my father was thinking at that moment. If I were a father, knowing that there might be danger, I would definitely choose a relatively safe path to enter and exit the valley. Take the little road over the west side."
"After searching along the way, I found a dagger, which was still new and did not look like it belonged to the villagers. I suspect maybe this is where my father and the others are buried."
Wei Mingting's face could not help but cheer, he did not comment, but the smile on his face revealed his mood.
"Let's get out of here first and go back to the village to discuss." Wei Jin also ordered.
Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong were in good health due to the daily martial arts training Although they were currently in better condition than the three villagers, they were trapped overnight, and they were in good health, cold air entered their bodies, their bodies became weak, and they were in dire need of medical treatment.
Out of the valley, Wei Jin also borrowed the villagers' residences, letting Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong take a hot bath and change clothes.
Now the roads leading to and from the village were blocked, and with Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong's current physical condition, it was no longer suitable for them to travel, especially through the mountains. Therefore, they live temporarily in the homes of residents until the road is clean before leaving.
While Wei Mingting and Xu Zhengyong were bathing and changing clothes, Wei Ruo felt the pulse of the three trapped and weak families.
The three of them suffered from wind and cold, their bodies were hot, and their physical condition was somewhat irregular due to the lack of oxygen.
Currently, there was no way to go out to buy medicines, but fortunately, Wei Ruo brought a lot of medicines before leaving, and there was no problem to temporarily stabilize the condition of some people.
After which, Wei Ruo came to the courtyard again and saw Wei Jin sitting on a small table in the courtyard, so he also walked over, sitting on the chair next to him, take out the bottle of medicine he carried, and start mixing it. .
Wei Jin also quietly watched Wei Ruo fiddling with the items in his hands.
