Chapter 411 Dear
"One, two, one, two, one, two..." Chu Liuzheng shouted the beat, his face turning purple from the effort. Seeing the lid of the stone coffin slowly move open a crack, he said happily, "It's moving, keep pushing!"
Zhang Qian and Jiang Zhou gritted their teeth, their eyes bulged, and they used up all their remaining strength, with veins popping out on their arms.
"Bang!"
The lid of the sarcophagus slammed heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough!" The three of them collapsed on the ground exhausted, coughing due to the choking of dust. Their arms and fingers trembled unconsciously, and they didn't even have the strength to raise their hands.
"Miss Chu, how are you?" It was Jiang Zhou's voice.
It took Chu Liuzheng a while to realize that he had slipped to the ground. His vision went dark and the hot air he exhaled almost roasted him.
[It's really not a good idea to be exposed to the mountain wind while wearing wet clothes. I only asked my second junior brother for a cloak. What a waste.]
She tried to push herself up, but her hands were too weak to hold on, so she had to continue lying there. She swallowed hard, and her dry, chapped lips opened and closed several times before she uttered a word: "I can't stand up now. Come and see how His Royal Highness is doing."
"What?"
"Look at His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
"What? Miss Chu, please speak louder."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Are you deaf?
She really blamed Zhang Qian and Jiang Zhou wrongly.
She thought her voice was very loud, but to the two of them it was quieter than a mosquito's hum and they could not hear it at all.
Chu Liuzheng opened his mouth and wanted to repeat himself, but his lips moved but his throat was so painful that he couldn't make a sound.
【Forget it, destroy it.】
She closed her eyes, then opened them reluctantly after a moment.
We have worked so hard until now, and now that the credit for saving King Rui is just around the corner, we must get it no matter what!
She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and instantly tasted a hint of blood in her mouth. The pain stimulated her dizzy head and at least cleared it a little.
"You..." She had just said one word when she heard Zhang Qian shush, his voice weak, "There are footsteps."
Chu Liuzheng immediately swallowed his words. The person coming at this time should be an enemy rather than a friend.
The three of them were on edge. Jiang Zhou swallowed his saliva and said to them, "You take His Royal Highness Prince Rui and go first. I'll cover your rear."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Zhang Qian: “…”
It's hard enough for them to run away by themselves, let alone bring others with them?
Haha, let’s die together so we can have each other’s company on the road to the underworld.
I think so, but I can't really do nothing.
Chu Liuzheng propped himself up and leaned against the sarcophagus. He stretched his legs hard to pull the broken stick over. He took one piece for himself and handed one piece to Zhang Qian next to him. As for Jiang Zhou, there were not enough sticks to share, so he had to wish him good luck.
The footsteps were getting closer, but there didn't seem to be many people around.
She held her breath silently and turned on the system.
In case the monster that came was a two-headed or three-headed monster, she would be mentally prepared so as not to faint from fright at the first sight.
[Eh? Wait a minute!]
[It’s Chen Xing and Doctor Feng!!!]
【Reinforcements are coming! !】
Chu Liuzheng was so excited that she was out of breath and choked by her saliva, causing her to cough repeatedly. Her dizzy head felt so heavy that it pulled her straight to the ground.
Zhang Qian and Jiang Zhou wanted to cover her mouth.
Stop coughing! You've already attracted everyone here!
The footsteps quickened, and they began to run, suddenly stopping at the door of the stone chamber.
Chu Liuzheng was still coughing, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
"Sister Liu Zheng." A clear female voice suddenly came in, "Is that you?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qian and Jiang Zhou turned to look at Chu Liuzheng and asked quietly, "Do you know him?"
Chu Liuzheng finally stopped coughing and nodded to the two of them.
At the same time, a pink figure flashed in and attacked Jiang Zhou at lightning speed.
"Wait!" Chu Liuzheng shouted in shock, "One of us!"
Chen Xing suddenly stopped his move, stepped on the sarcophagus, rolled twice in the air, and landed lightly in front of Chu Liuzheng.
"Sister! It's really you! I'm so glad you're okay!" Her eyes sparkled as she bent down to help Chu Liuzheng, but was startled by the warmth coming through his cloak. She quickly reached out to touch Chu Liuzheng's forehead, only to shrink back at the scorching heat. She quickly turned her head and shouted, "Doctor Feng, come in quickly!"
Hearing the call, Feng Jing immediately ran in, yelling, "What's wrong?"
"Sister Liu Zheng has a fever." Chen Xing waved at him.
Feng Jing ran over and squatted in front of Chu Liuzheng.
The stone chamber was dim, and the bright light illuminated Chu Liuzheng's crimson eyelids, red cheeks, and several small wounds on his face that had stopped bleeding.
【Woo woo woo~ My dear! 】
【Finally, I don’t have to fight alone! 】
Chu Liuzheng could now understand those who, upon meeting an old friend in a foreign land, would burst into tears in silence. She felt like crying, but she managed to pull up the corners of her lips and smiled at the two of them, her voice hoarse, "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later." Feng Jing took a typhoid pill from his cloth bag and fed it to her. He then gave her a few more injections. "Don't think about anything. Close your eyes and have a good sleep."
"But……"
"No buts." Feng Jing's expression was serious. "If you don't sleep, I'll prick your most painful acupuncture point."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
Doctor Feng is as cruel as ever.
She couldn't hold on any longer, but there was still something she hadn't finished.
"Here." Chu Liuzheng panted hotly, grabbed Chen Xing's hand and pressed it against his chest, "Dudou, there's medicine—"
Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
Chen Xing hurriedly hugged the person and turned to look at Feng Jing: "What medicine are you talking about, sister?"
Feng Jing thought about it and felt that it must be the life-saving medicine that Chu Liuzheng had exchanged with him in exchange for testing the poison. He was about to speak when he heard an anxious voice calling from the side: "Your Highness Prince Rui! Your Highness!"
It turned out that Zhang Qian and Jiang Zhou felt relieved after discovering that the visitor was a friend and not an enemy. Seeing that Feng Jing was treating Chu Liuzheng and wanted to reminisce about the past, they did not disturb him rashly, but went to check on Prince Rui's condition together.
The three of them were imprisoned together, while King Rui was still conscious. Logically, since they had already pushed the sarcophagus open, King Rui should have made some noise. But now, despite their repeated calls, there was no response from within the sarcophagus.
Jiang Zhou lay on the sarcophagus and shouted, "Your Highness Prince Rui! Your Highness!"
There was still no response from within the sarcophagus.
Both of them felt a pang of fear in their hearts. Jiang Zhou was about to climb in to take a look when he suddenly heard a female voice: "Get out of the way."
Jiang Zhou hurriedly made way.
Chen Xing supported himself with the sarcophagus and jumped into it like a nimble cat. He carried the person out, put him on the ground, and simply took his pulse. His beautiful eyebrows immediately frowned.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a pulse, this man, who was so thin that he was just a bag of bones, would be no different from a corpse.
Feng Jing came over after he had settled Chu Liuzheng. Chen Xing immediately made room for him so he could inspect him. Zhang Qian and Jiang Zhou squatted opposite him, staring at him nervously.
Although they didn't know Feng Jing, they heard Chen Xing call out "Doctor Feng." No matter how skilled this doctor was, he was definitely better than laymen like them.
