The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 384: No Hope

Chapter 384: No Hope

However, unlike the thriving and beautiful flower in the rumors, the flower in front of me seemed to be very ordinary and did not seem to be something of great origin.

Especially...

Zhuang Qingning looked at the slightly crooked flower stem, walked over in surprise, half-knelt on the ground, and carefully examined this so-called auspicious flower.

It grows in the cracks of rocks, has no name, and its appearance is not outstanding. Moreover, it is a little wilted at this time, and its roots are mostly buried by the moss in the cracks.

And this moss...

Zhuang Qingning reached out and touched it, then took a closer look.

The moss did not have the sticky feeling it had when it grew naturally, but rather was a bit dry. There were already some debris on Zhuang Qingning's fingertips, and the soil the moss was attached to was a bit dry, as if someone had dug it out and stuffed it back in, so the moss was damaged and a little dead.

Could it be? Zhuang Qingning frowned and boldly reached out to the flower.

The flower was pulled out by the roots effortlessly, and the moss attached to the soil at the roots also fell off.

It can now be basically concluded that this flower did not grow naturally here, but was deliberately transplanted here by someone.

After much trouble, a flower was moved here, and the rumor that it transformed into a flower in the narrow sky was known to everyone. But today, a loud noise occurred and the cave collapsed...

Zhuang Qingning now has reason to believe that this was done by humans.

This is used as bait to lure the target person here, in the hope of trapping him or killing him directly.

What cannot be determined now is whether they are the target of the other party or they were just injured by mistake.

At least for her, Zhuang Qingning felt that even if she had an enemy, he should be the kind of person who would come to her house and make a scene, and would just put her in a sack. He wouldn't go through so much trouble to do something with a low success rate.

Then, who is it...

For whom would he do this, and for what reason? Zhuang Qingning frowned and smiled slightly.

This matter is really interesting.

But the important thing now is how to get out of this cave.

Zhuang Qingning looked around and observed it carefully.

Whether it was the gap at the top or the original hole, the reason why there was no entrance or exit in the end was because the entire mountain tilted after the loud bang, and it was impossible for her to push it open with her strength.

It can even be said that even if Fan Wenxuan and others outside tried their best to help, they would not be able to push these things open, and could only find a way to chisel their way in bit by bit.

Moreover, she hadn't heard any shouting from outside until now, which meant that the long and narrow entrance of the cave was blocked very tightly, so her cry for help might not be heard.

If this is the case, even if the hole can be chiseled out, it will be a huge project.

I guess he won’t be able to get out for a month or so.

When Zhuang Qingning thought of this, he became dejected and sat down on the ground.

It’s over. I’m afraid I’m going to starve to death here.

It is sad and lamentable that a young girl died in the cave.

[Host, don't be discouraged. The system has entered emergency mode, so the host can use the diligence points to exchange items. ]

[I can provide the host with all the food and drinking water he needs. ]

[If the host is not afraid of spending money, the system can even provide bedding for rent, but the rental fee is a little more expensive than usual. ]

Zhuang Qingning, "..."

Those who know know that she is trapped in the cave, and those who don't know think that she is camping in the cave! And your idea is totally wrong, why are you eating and drinking here waiting for rescue, instead of providing some escape tools to help the host escape smoothly? [There is an escape tool system here, but because the electric machinery cannot be used, the only thing that can be provided at present is the flying dragon claw. 】

The effect picture of the flying dragon claw provided by a certain Wu suddenly appeared in Zhuang Qingning's mind.

It is a tool with a grappling hook at the front end, which can be used to escape after falling into an unknown cave.

However, if you want to escape by relying on this tool, you first need a gap to escape.

It looks like there's really no hope.

Zhuang Qingning simply sat down, holding his chin, looking at the rays of sunlight coming in through the cracks in the top of the cave, and yawned.

Outside, Fan Wenxuan and others were cleaning up the rubble.

There were also servants who had already promised money and had called up villagers from nearby the mountain to help see if all the stones could be moved away.

But the further we go into clearing the rubble, the more difficult it becomes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because of the inclination of the mountain, the rocks trapped in the cracks have been clamped tightly, and some have even been completely crushed, making it impossible to move them out. Using shovels, sticks, smashing and prying around, only a few broken rocks could be removed.

"What should I do?" Ban Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt a little depressed after working for a long time but still making no progress. "This is totally useless."

"Whether it's useful or not, it's better to do it first than to just wait." Fan Wenxuan's face was also covered with sweat, and because he wiped the sweat off his face, his face was covered with streaks of dirt, completely losing the appearance of the elegant scholar he usually looked.

"Yeah!" Seeing that Fan Wenxuan was like this, Ban Qing nodded vigorously and continued to work.

"It's not a good idea to keep going like this. There's a firecracker maker in the village who also makes gunpowder for frying fish. Why don't we get some and use it to blow up the hole?" suggested a short, round-faced strong man who came here to work for money.

Fan Wenxuan stopped what he was doing and looked up and down. "If we use gunpowder to blow it up, it's not impossible, but the mountain is tilted. If we place it from the bottom, I'm afraid it will collapse completely, and the situation inside will be even worse."

"If possible, it would be best to place it from above. That way, when the explosion occurs, even if there are rocks on top, the base structure at the bottom will not be damaged and cause collapse. The most important thing now is that we cannot confirm Miss Zhuang's current situation and whether she can escape."

"It would be nice if someone could go up and take a look."

Fan Wenxuan raised his head and looked at the straight mountain above his head, like a knife, with his brows furrowed.

Although Banqing and other servants have some martial arts skills and are considered quite capable, to climb a mountain like this, they need to climb walls and climb roofs to reach the top, and there is no place to rest in the middle, so it is very difficult to get up.

The servants looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Give me the rope, I'll go up and try it." Ban Qing said, and then he pulled the hemp rope next to him and tied it around himself.

After he goes up, let down the hemp rope and take the gunpowder up.

If not, this hemp rope might be able to prevent him from falling off the mountain.

When everyone saw Banqing volunteered, they all helped to tie the hemp ropes and pull the ropes.

"I'll do it."

A clear voice suddenly rang out, and everyone was startled. They turned around and saw Chu Jinnian with a frown on his face.
