Chapter 385 Skin Injury

"Young Master, why are you here?" Fan Wenxuan was stunned.

I remember the letter said that Chu Jinnian would not be back until the 14th at the earliest.

"I came back early after finishing my business in the capital." Chu Jinnian replied, "I returned to Qingzhu Garden and found that you were all gone. A servant said that you were in Cuiwei Mountain, so I came to take a look."

"On the way, we met the carriage of Jin Zhou and Miss Sui."

After hearing about the group's trip to Cuiwei Mountain and Zhuang Qingning being trapped, he rushed here as fast as he could and quickly climbed up Cuiwei Mountain.

"Give me the rope, and you go get the gunpowder."

Chu Jinnian raised his hand.

"Yes." Ban Qing hurriedly untied all the hemp ropes on his body, coiled them up, and handed them to Chu Jinnian. Then he followed the short, round-faced strong man down the mountain to get gunpowder.

Chu Jinnian took the hemp rope, reached out to lift up the front of his robe, and tucked it into his waist.

"Young Master, please be careful." Fan Wenxuan warned solemnly.

"Yeah." Chu Jinnian responded, and then he exerted force on his feet, and the whole person flew into the air, grabbing a protruding stone in the air with one hand.

Then, like a nimble swift, it flew several times and reached the top.

When Fan Wenxuan saw Chu Jinnian successfully reach the summit, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, there is finally a glimmer of hope.

When Chu Jinnian and others reached the top of the rugged mountain, they carefully observed the mountain below.

The gap that originally belonged to the skylight under my feet was still clearly visible, and there were also some holes through which I could see inside, but it was almost noon, and the light outside was bright and dazzling, making it difficult to see the situation inside from the outside.

Especially, when it is impossible to determine Zhuang Qingning’s exact location at this time.

Chu Jinnian held his breath, took light steps, bent over and listened carefully to the movements inside, hoping to determine the approximate location.

“Da, da, da…”

A faint sound came from below.

It sounds like the crisp sound of stones colliding, very rhythmic, and should be a man-made sound.

Chu Jinnian was immediately delighted.

The fact that he could still make noises at this time meant that Zhuang Qingning's life was not in danger for the time being.

But at the same time, I am worried.

If this is the only way to transmit sound, then...

Chu Jinnian's heart suddenly sank. He roughly determined the direction from which the voice came and called out anxiously, "Miss Zhuang? Are you okay?"

The sound of the stone stopped for a moment. After a moment of silence, Zhuang Qingning's voice came from below, "Are you... Lord Chu?"

"Exactly."

After hearing Zhuang Qingning's response, which was very calm and not at all panicked, Chu Jinnian felt a little relieved. "Have you been injured? How are you now?"

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to get gunpowder to blow up the top of the cave. We will be able to rescue Miss Zhuang soon."

The top exploded?

Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly.

It is indeed safer than blowing up the cave entrance, but when the explosion happens, rubble will probably fly everywhere, so you have to find a good shelter.

[Arch shields are available in the system store to ensure the host's life is safe. 】

Excellent!

Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but give a thumbs up to a certain Five.

"Thank you, Lord Chu." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile.

"Miss Zhuang, you are too kind." Chu Jinnian said, "Miss Zhuang is in danger because she wants to save me. This is what I should do."

As Chu Jinnian spoke, he observed the gaps in the gravel below and even shook the gravel above. He said, "Miss Zhuang, please move aside. I'll see if we can open a way out here."

Hearing this, Zhuang Qingning looked up and saw the figure in the gap, then dodged to the side, "I'm hidden."

"good."

Chu Jinnian took a deep breath, then swung his fist down with force. Part of the rubble that was originally stuck there fell down, revealing a gap about the size of a bowl.

Seeing that this move had some effect, Chu Jinnian continued to swing his fists vigorously, trying to rescue Zhuang Qingning relatively safely in this way.

No matter how many times he hammered, blood marks appeared on the back of his hand, and the gap only became slightly bigger.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even so, a hole of this size would not allow Zhuang Qingning to come out smoothly.

But before the gunpowder arrived, Chu Jinnian still planned to give it a try, punching again and again, like a tireless machine.

Zhuang Qingning hid aside, listening to the dull sound of fists. Seeing that there was no movement at the gap at this time, a warm feeling arose in his heart.

Even if it was because of Chu Jinzhou, Chu Jinnian could have waited until the gunpowder arrived, but at this moment he was obviously eager to rescue her. Such a heart showed that Lord Chu was a very affectionate person.

Zhuang Qingning recognized Chu Jinnian a little more and said, "Master Chu, there is no need to try. Let's wait for the gunpowder to arrive."

"There is a fairly safe place here in the cave. Even if you use gunpowder, it won't matter. You won't get hurt."

"Look, there's a place where you can hide."

Zhuang Qingning pointed inside.

Chu Jinnian stopped what he was doing and looked inside through the hole. He could see Zhuang Qingning standing underneath, pointing at a place inside.

There was not enough light over there, so Chu Jinnian couldn't see clearly, but Zhuang Qingning's face was full of confidence, which made him feel more confident.

"That's good." Chu Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief, tore off a piece of his robe, casually wrapped his right hand which was now covered in blood, and clenched it tightly.

It's just a skin injury, nothing serious.

"Then please wait for a moment, Miss Zhuang. Banqing has already gone down the mountain with others. I think he will be back soon."

"Is Miss Zhuang thirsty? I brought a rope up here. I can ask the people below to tie up the water bag and send it down to Miss Zhuang."

"Not for now. Thank you, Master Chu." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile, "How are Jinzhou and Qingsui now? Are they scared?"

"I heard from the subordinates that Jinzhou and Miss Sui were originally unwilling to leave, but Mr. Fan persuaded them to go back. Now they are already in Qingzhu Garden, so Miss Zhuang don't worry." Chu Jinnian answered truthfully.

"That's good." Zhuang Qingning felt relieved and sat down on the ground again after breathing a sigh of relief. He took down the pebbles and played the game of catching pebbles.

Keep one stone in your hand and scatter the other stones on the ground at random. Then throw the stone in your hand high up, and at the same time, use your hands to quickly grab the stones and then catch the thrown stones.

One by one, until all the stones on the ground are in your hands. When you are done, start over again, over and over again.

The crisp sound of stones colliding rang out again. Chu Jinnian looked down through the cave entrance suspiciously and saw Zhuang Qingning playing with this leisurely.
