Chapter 238 Found the Cave Entrance
"Chu Chu, I'm really sorry for what happened before," Long Tingxiao looked at his daughter, his eyes full of guilt and sadness, "I know you probably don't want to recognize both of us now, but we are blood relatives after all. Can you call us mom and dad before we die?"
There was a hint of pleading in his voice and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was waiting for his daughter's response, which was his last desire as his life was about to end.
He was going to die anyway, so he only hoped that he could have a tender exchange with his daughter in the last moments and leave this world peacefully.
Li Ruochu was so frightened that her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and her body was still shaking slightly. She leaned tightly on Feng Yizhou's shoulder, her expression was extremely painful, her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if she was still immersed in the bloody and horrific scene just now and couldn't extricate herself.
"Don't force Chuchu anymore," Long Mocheng felt heartbroken when he saw Li Ruchu in such pain. He couldn't help but frown. With a hint of anger in his eyes, he directly spoke out to stop his parents, "You have been harmed like this by others since you were a child. Do you two think you have done nothing wrong?" Although his voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty. Every word was like a needle, piercing the hearts of the Long couple.
The faces of the Long family couple suddenly became extremely ugly, as if they were covered by a layer of dark clouds, gloomy and terrible. They opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but it seemed that something was choking their throats, and finally they could only lower their heads helplessly. At this point, they also knew that what they had done in the past had caused great harm to their children, but everything was irreversible, so what could they do?
Seeing this, Feng Yizhou quickly took out his cell phone and anxiously checked the signal. However, the lonely "no signal" sign on the screen was like a cold verdict, which made his heart sink to the bottom. He tried to send text messages without giving up, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, but every time he tried, he only got a message that the text failed. This place seemed like an isolated cage, cutting off all their contact with the outside world.
Before they left, they were at Pei's house. Feng Yizhou couldn't help but think of the kind face of the Pei's grandmother. It was just unknown whether the grandmother would notice their disappearance after so much time had passed, and whether she would send someone to look for them. But all this was unknown, and it seemed that they could only rely on themselves now.
Just when everyone was at a loss and fell into the abyss of despair, Li Ruochu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she remembered something crucial. A scene from her childhood emerged in her mind, when she often played at home and accidentally discovered a small hole in the house.
"Oh, right, the basement!" Li Ruochu suddenly said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "It's in the basement. If the hole is still there, it means that Long Moyang didn't know there was such an exit in the house."
A spark of hope ignited in her eyes, as if she saw a ray of light in the darkness.
However, the entrance to the hole was very small, and Li Ruochu himself was not sure whether he could get out with his current body shape.
But no matter what, this is their only hope at the moment.
Li Ruochu stood up without any hesitation, held Feng Yizhou's hand tightly, and walked towards the basement with a determined look.
Although her steps were still hurried and flustered, they were filled with a determination to fight to the end.
The castle is located on a high ground, so the basement is equivalent to the first floor of other people's houses.
The basement was filled with a damp and moldy smell, dark and depressing.
There were a few dim lights hanging on the wall, flickering as if they would go out at any time, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the place.
After Li Ruochu entered the basement, she began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets. She moved the heavy boxes and cabinets eagerly, leaving no corner untouched.
Sweat kept dripping down her forehead and wetting her collar, but she was unaware of it. She had only one thought in her mind: she must find the entrance to the hole.
Finally, behind the innermost cabinet, Li Ruochu found the familiar hole.
The area around the cave entrance was covered with dust and cobwebs, and it looked like no one had moved in a long time.
Seeing the cave entrance, tears of excitement flashed in Li Ruochu's eyes. She remembered that she often ran out to play from here when she was a child. She didn't expect that after so many years, the cave entrance was still there. It was like a silent guardian, waiting to save them at the critical moment.
"This hole is too small," Li Ruochu frowned, looked at the hole carefully, and said worriedly, "I'm afraid I really can't get through. Besides, if we rashly smash the wall, the noise might arouse Long Moyang's suspicion."
There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in her eyes. After all, Long Moyang had a gun in his hand. Once he discovered them, all of them would be in a more dangerous situation.
"I'll find a way." Feng Yizhou looked at the narrow hole, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that, judging from the current situation, the entrance to the cave was indeed too small and no one could get out.
But if they can use this hole to receive signals from the outside world, then they will have a chance to contact people outside and get rescued.
This may be their only chance to escape from the predicament.
Feng Yizhou carefully took out his cell phone, as if it was their most precious life-saving straw at the moment.
He slowly squatted down, his eyes fixed on the signal icon on the screen of his mobile phone, and approached the cave entrance little by little.
As we got closer to the cave entrance, the signal on the phone began to fluctuate, like a candle flame swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Even if he sent a message under such an unstable signal condition, he was not sure whether the other side could receive it smoothly. But at this moment, they had no other choice but to go all out.
Feng Yizhou gritted his teeth, placed half of the phone outside the cave, and held the other half tightly in his hand.
He quickly edited a message for help, and the recipient was none other than Pei's grandmother, who was the person most likely to receive help from them at the moment.
With a nervous mood, he clicked the send button, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if this would increase the chances of successfully sending the message.
However, what was unexpected was that the moment he clicked send, the already unstable signal suddenly went to zero, and the prompt on the phone screen that originally showed that the message was being sent turned into a big red exclamation mark, announcing that the message had failed.
Feng Yizhou's face turned very ugly in an instant. He knew in his heart that the signal jammer seemed to have a strong coverage ability. It would be difficult to use this method to contact the outside world.
