"Ah Zhi!! Are you alright?!"
In the chaotic darkness, Zhan Xinjia was helped up by Meng Qiao, who had rushed over.
Zhan Xinjia was already in a daze, and could only lean weakly on Meng Qiao, shaking her head with all her might.
"It's alright... hurry up and get out of here, this place is going to collapse."
Meng Qiao didn't dare to delay, so she simply carried Zhan Xinjia on her back.
Despite having dug through the snow all night and being completely exhausted, Meng Qiao gritted her teeth and struggled forward, running towards the light, after weighing the seriously injured little girl on her back who might faint at any moment.
"Azhi, Azhi, don't fall asleep! I'll take you back to find a doctor!"
Overwhelmed by panic, Meng Qiao's eyes welled up with warm, sour tears, but she didn't even have time to wipe them away.
It's all their fault for holding Ah Zhi back the whole time. Otherwise, Ah Zhi wouldn't have been swept into the avalanche while trying to save them, and wouldn't have fallen into the mine that collapsed due to the avalanche...
After discovering that Azhi and Pei Jianjun had disappeared, the group desperately dug in the snow for half the night without finding them. Finally, they stumbled into the valley where the mine was located by chance, relying on the map.
Thinking that they couldn't come all this way for nothing, the group decided to follow Ah Zhi's original plan and set up gunpowder to blow up this wretched place.
As soon as the explosion began, Meng Qiao felt as if she could vaguely hear A Zhi's voice.
Worried, she risked a mine collapse to find her and found Ah Zhi sitting blankly by the stone wall, seemingly lost in thought.
Fortunately, their location wasn't far from the exit. Soon, a blinding white light appeared before them. Zhan Xinjia squinted and opened her eyes a crack, only to see a clear blue sky with geese circling overhead.
The snow-covered plains stretch endlessly, the sky is high and the land is vast, a boundless world.
It turned out that it was already daylight outside.
Outside the mine, Wangcai was pacing anxiously back and forth.
When he saw Meng Qiao and Zhan Xinjia come out, he was initially delighted, but then he scratched the back of his head and looked puzzled.
"Didn't Doctor Yu and Miss Cui come out with you?"
Meng Qiao was shocked, "They went in too?!"
"Yes, Doctor Yu said that a grown man like him couldn't just stand by and watch. He kept saying things like, 'Don't forget our friendship and bond!' and then he rushed in with great enthusiasm, leaving Miss Cui and me here to wait for you."
As a result, not long after he went in, Miss Cui stamped her foot and ran in after him. Hey, I couldn't stop her!
Zhan Xinjia, who had just regained consciousness, was met with this devastating news: "..."
Damn, I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.
I think I'd better just pass out.
Seriously, guys, are you guys trying to save your grandpa like the Calabash Brothers? You're sending them off one by one.
As the three were worrying, another loud bang rang out. The aftershocks of the explosion collapsed another mining area, and the ground shook violently as if an earthquake had struck, with dust and gravel constantly flying up.
With difficulty, Zhan Xinjia leaned against a nearby rock, wanting to sigh.
She did bring a lot of gunpowder when she set off, but she never said she had to use it all!
She brought extra just in case, to be on the safe side and have a backup plan, but now it seems these little geniuses probably lit the fuse and threw everything in...
No, what are you trying to do? Destroy the world?!
Jade-Faced Hand Grenade King, right?
We're like a sky full of stars when we're apart, but when we're together, we're a pile of shit.
Smoke and dust rose, and Zhan Xinjia coughed weakly a few times while covering his mouth. Suddenly, he saw a figure running towards him from the depths of the smoke.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Yan Yuyao and Cui Wanzhao.
Before she could even catch her breath, another wave of trouble arose, and an unexpected change occurred.
A section of the crossbeam supporting the mine entrance was broken and collapsed by the shock wave. The wooden pillar, as thick as a man's waist, crashed straight down on the two people below. At such a distance, even if Zhan Xinjia wanted to lend a helping hand, he couldn't get there in time and could only watch helplessly.
"careful!!"
At the critical moment, Cui Wanzhao, seemingly sensing something, reached out and pushed Yan Yuyao aside, followed by a loud bang.
"Miss Cui!!"
Meng Qiao and Wang Cai were so frightened that they were completely at a loss. They quickly crawled over to help.
When the dust settled, Cui Wanzhao, who had been hit hard by the wooden pillar, frowned and vomited a mouthful of blood. Her once beautiful and bright face turned pale, and she looked disheveled and miserable.
The wooden pillar that had been pressing down on her was removed, and she was stunned by the impact. Her gaze wandered aimlessly for a while before she finally looked at the person beside her.
"...I owe you nothing anymore."
Yan Yuyao's face was extremely pale. Without saying a word, he picked her up with trembling hands and turned to walk out.
Wangcai, who was following behind, was a little worried and stammered, "Will Miss Cui be alright?"
Meng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, first wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, then gesturing for Wangcai to come and help support Azhi, since she herself had just been holding her breath and her legs were so weak she could barely stand.
"It should be fine... After all, we still have Old Fang from the Yan family."
But that pillar just now hit her waist and leg; I reckon they're probably fractured. She definitely won't be able to get out of bed and walk for a while.”
Sigh, disabled person +1
Hearing this, the kind-hearted Wangcai was still somewhat uneasy.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen Doctor Yu so angry since I came to the camp. His face is as black as the bottom of a pot. Is he angry because Miss Cui touched his clothes and got them dirty?"
No, I have to chase after him and see what happens. What if he takes advantage of Miss Cui's injury to beat her up?!
Meng Qiao: "..."
Zhan Xinjia: "..."
It turns out there really are people in the world who can be this naive.
Zhan Xinjia: "Holy crap, come back quickly, kid! Come back, don't get involved, this has nothing to do with us."
Supported by Wangcai and Qiaoqiao on either side, Zhan Xinjia walked out of the valley while making sarcastic remarks.
"The baby died and he knew to have milk. Where was this stupid old Chinese medicine doctor all this time? I want to see what he'll do if Cui Wanzhao wakes up and insists on going home. I'll ride my horse back to her tonight and make him furious."
"Oh dear, you're injured like this and you're still thinking about these things. Alright, alright, your throat is hurt, so try not to say too much. You can lie down and rest for a while, and Wangcai and I will take turns carrying you back."
Meng Qiao chuckled and touched the little girl's messy hair.
Zhan Xinjia also felt that he was so awesome that he was almost half a step into the realm of gods. First, he physically withstood an avalanche, then he dragged his injured leg and hid from pursuers in the mine for two hours, then he struggled with "Pei Yi" for most of the day, and finally "Pei Yi" pushed him and made him hit his forehead.
She was starting to question the meaning of life.
No, why am I not dead yet?
However, she could also feel that her physical condition was very poor, especially her knees, which had long been so painful that she had lost all feeling in them.
Her body was severely hypothermic, and the pain from her compressed internal organs made her face contort in agony. The metallic taste of blood lingered in her throat, and she only managed to stay upright thanks to her astonishing willpower.
Thankfully, I can finally rest now...
Oh right, when she gets back she needs to ask Yan Yuyao about Yan Wuju; she feels like something's not quite right.
Zhan Xinjia slowly closed her eyes, intending to rest on Qiaoqiao's shoulder for a while. However, just as her tense mind relaxed, she suddenly heard the sound of clashing weapons coming from not far away.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
