Chapter 48 Quicksand Trap



Su Huaiyue didn't say another word along the way.

I originally thought that after the space was upgraded, the spiritual spring water would also be upgraded, so that it could heal Wei Che's broken leg, and I would feel less guilty.

But in fact, although the spiritual spring water today can heal broken bones, it is far from being able to make broken legs grow back.

This made Su Huaiyue feel a little disappointed.

This made her more determined to continue upgrading the space.

If level two isn't enough, then level three. If level three isn't enough, then level four, five, or six. He believes that one day the spiritual spring water in the space will be upgraded to the point where the broken patella can grow back.

Thinking of this, Su Huaiyue's eyes were filled with hope again, and she became energetic again in an instant.

Wei Che's face darkened, his brows furrowed, and he said nothing.

Wei Zhi and Wei Yunrou witnessed the whole process, and then Wei Zhi ran over and tugged at Wei Che's sleeve.

"Uncle, uncle, what did mother give you to drink?" Wei Zhi asked with concern: "Uncle, why do you look so bad?"

Wei Yunrou also looked at Wei Che. It seemed that her sister-in-law was worried about her brother by doing this.

Although Wei Che said nothing, he could clearly feel the changes taking place in his body.

As soon as he drank the slightly sweet water, he felt a warm current flowing through his whole body.

My body, which was originally tired from traveling, was suddenly full of strength and no longer tired.

The pain in my broken leg also disappeared.

These miraculous effects seemed to be due to the glass of water that Su Yuhuan gave him.

Thinking of this, Wei Che couldn't help but look up at Su Huaiyue who was holding Wei Li in front of him.

In the dim evening sun, Su Huaiyue smiled so brightly, her eyebrows were curved, the setting sun shone on her head, everything was so peaceful and beautiful.

This woman just seemed to be... doing it for his own good...

Wei Che shook his head slightly annoyed, throwing away all the thoughts he had just had.

The team marched until night, when the stars were dim, but the officials in front showed no intention of stopping.

Lord Li put the compass in his arms, a trace of unconcealable fatigue appeared on his face. He raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He turned to the crowd and said, "We took the wrong road earlier and wasted a lot of time. In order to reach the exile site on time, we have to travel overnight today."

His voice, though calm, revealed a hint of anxiety.

As soon as these words were spoken, people who were tired after a day of work were suddenly filled with resentment, but they dared not speak out.

Wei Yunrou frowned and said with concern, "Sister-in-law, we're traveling all night. Do you think we'll encounter any danger along the way?"

In the desert at night, the night becomes more and more dark, with stars dotted in the inky sky.

Su Huaiyue's tightly furrowed brows revealed the uneasiness deep in his heart.

She said to Lord Li, "Lord Li, it is not wise to travel at night. The road is hard to see at night, and the desert is full of dangers. I hope you will think twice before proceeding."

Everyone around agreed with her and nodded, hoping that Lord Li would change his mind.

Wang Laosan sneered and said disdainfully, "Su Huaiyue, don't be lazy here and make excuses. We are all tired, who doesn't want to rest?

Is it dangerous or not? I think you are just lazy."

Wang Laosan's words also made Lord Li show a hint of doubt.

He hesitated for a moment, weighing whether to follow Su Huaiyue's advice, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to set off quickly.

"Keep going, we can't delay any longer."

Seeing this, Su Huaiyue could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She did not try to persuade them any further, but returned to the Wei family.

She pulled Wei Li and said to the old lady with a heavy heart, "Grandma, Lord Li is going to travel at night. I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Let's walk behind the team for a while."

Madam Wei also nodded solemnly, and then led everyone in the Wei family to slowly walk at the back of the team.

Not long after, the sand on the ground suddenly loosened, and the land beneath the feet silently swallowed everything.

The person walking in front shouted helplessly.

"Why did the land suddenly start to sink?!"

"Ah! I can't pull my foot out, help!"

"Son! Please save my son!"

The officials and exiles in front were trapped in the quicksand trap at the same time, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Su Huaiyue and the others who were walking behind were not sinking as deep as them because they were at the back.

The crying and shouting in front of them made them stop and dare not move forward.

Wei Yunrou nervously grasped Su Huaiyue tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "Sister-in-law, you really are as good as a god. We are starting to sink. What should we do?!"

"Yun Rou, this is an emergency. Take everyone and don't move. I'll go save them!"

"Be careful!" Wei Yunrou shouted from behind.

Some people screamed with fear in their voices. They struggled desperately, trying in vain to pull their feet out of the quicksand.

Su Huaiyue walked to the edge of the trap and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. The more you panic, the faster you will fall!"

Her voice was drowned out by the panicked cries of the people, and no one heard or did anything.

In the panic, the qin in front of him was becoming more and more dangerous. Su Huaiyue's anger surged from his heart: "Shut up, everyone! If you don't quiet down, you will all be buried alive here!"

Her voice was sharp, like a knife cutting through the noisy air, and everyone finally calmed down.

The people, filled with fear, cried for help.

These people were clinging tightly to the items in their arms, unwilling to throw them away even though they had become useless burdens.
