Chapter 141 Earth Dragon Turns Over
No matter how wronged Hou Yuanji felt, he dared not say a word in front of Lu Wanyin.
He asked Wu Fan to put the bowl on the stone in front of him and stretched his neck to drink the soup.
The bowl was shaking and almost fell when he touched it.
Hou Yuanji quickly reached out to hold the bowl.
His hands had been tangled into balls, and the injuries were mainly to the bones. He started to feel pain before he could even drink the soup.
Lu Wanyin watched happily from the side.
If she doesn't say anything, who would dare to help Hou Yuanji?
Hou Yuanji leaned carefully against the stone and said, "Well, can I take a look at this...Snake Master? My hands are shaking a little."
Mo Yu, who had been sitting quietly beside Lu Wanyin, suddenly became agitated for some reason.
The tip of its tail would occasionally sweep past his feet.
He was already a little unsure of holding on to it, and now he was even more panicked.
Lu Wanyin gently patted Mo Yu's head and said to Hou Yuanji, "Why are you shaking? If someone didn't know, they would think it was a dragon turning over! But you don't have to be afraid. If there really is an earthquake, you won't be afraid of a big one, but if it's a small one, you don't have to run. It will also save me from collecting your body. God will just bury you directly."
The black jade gradually calmed down and lay at Lu Wanyin's feet.
Hou Yuanji was on the verge of tears: "Auntie, please, please say something nicer."
He was really afraid of Lu Wanyin's bad mouth.
It was as if a dragon had turned over and buried him alone!
Then shouldn't Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci be buried as well?
Just then, several guards came out fetching water.
This cave was specially chosen by Lu Wanyin. Although the space is small, there is a passage at the back that is wide enough for one person.
After walking a few steps inside, you can faintly hear the sound of flowing water.
There should be a cave nearby.
The air circulation in this place is excellent, so it won’t be too stuffy when cooking.
The sound of hail hitting the ground continued to increase, so several guards squeezed through the tunnel, fetched water, and explored the terrain.
Xuan Yi pointed at the water on the ground and said, "Whoever wants hot water, boil it yourself."
There wasn't enough room in the cave for them to set up their tent like they had the night before.
Several guards quickly helped the two of them spread three layers of mattresses and then put a rabbit fur blanket on the top layer.
With another quilt, it’s incredibly warm.
Hou Yuanji held the soup that had already gone cold before he could even take a few sips, and he almost cried with envy.
It's already this time, why are these two still living such a fairy-like life?
The hail outside the cave showed no sign of stopping for a while.
Lu Wanyin curled up in the soft and comfortable mat on the floor, listening boredly to the thud of hail hitting the boards.
Occasionally, the sound of Xie Jingci's even breathing could be clearly heard.
Amidst such a chaotic noise, she fell asleep without realizing it.
midnight.
When the dream is deep.
Lu Wanyin felt like someone pushed her hard and something was shaking her violently.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xie Jingci beside him and the guards resting nearby all stood up at the same time.
Black Jade
Only then did Lu Wanyin realize that it was Mo Yu who kept poking her with his tail.
She stood up quickly: "What's wrong?"
A beautiful, sharp chirping sound came from the cave entrance.
The prisoners and escorts, who were cold and hungry, drank hot water and finally managed to warm themselves up and fall asleep, but the sound also made their heads buzz.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Oh my god, I finally fell asleep and now I don't feel so hungry anymore."
Lu Wanyin was annoyed by the noise and glanced at them coldly: "If you don't want to die, shut up."
The noisy sounds stopped abruptly.
This group of people who had just woken up from their sleep were completely awake.
Even if beauty wakes them up, what can they do?
That was Lu Wanyin's pet, how could they dare to express any dissatisfaction?
At this time, Lu Wanyin had already followed Mo Yu to the entrance of the cave.
She was shocked to discover that a lot of mud had flowed in through the hole in the door panel, which was not blocked tightly.
At this time, it was still pouring into the cave.
Lu Wanyin felt a chill down her spine.
She patted Mo Yu's head gently: "Good Mo Yu, you saved me this time."
If it weren't for Mo Yu, more than half of the people here would have been buried in their sleep.
Xuan Qi and a few guards had already cleaned up everything on the ground.
Wu Fan hurriedly gathered his and Hou Yuanji's belongings, and looked towards the cave entrance: "Hey, where's the horse?"
Hou Yuanji had long had his eyes on that fine horse, and when he was asked to keep an eye on it, he dared not disobey.
Lu Wanyin glanced at him and said, "Maybe he was buried because he was always thinking about other people's horses."
Hou Yuanji and Wu Fan:
Just tell us our names.
The horse had long been taken back into Lu Wanyin's space.
There wasn't much space at the entrance of the cave to begin with, and she felt suffocated just looking at a tall horse curled up there.
Lu Wanyin supported Xie Jingci and leaned against the stone wall, waiting for the guards who had explored the way to come back.
As long as she didn't move, Hou Yuanji and the others wouldn't dare to act rashly.
However, after the prisoners learned about the current situation, many of them subconsciously moved towards Lu Wanyin.
Hou Yuanji was almost unable to protect himself, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt more secure with Lu Wanyin.
Soon, the guards came back.
Although the cave inside is not small, the terrain is low and it is still not very safe when mud flows in.
More than 400 meters deeper, there is an open opening, but the exit is a cliff.
The cliff is nearly a hundred meters high and you can hardly see the bottom at a glance.
Xie Jingci half leaned against Lu Wanyin and quickly made a decision: "Let's go take a look first."
Lu Wanyin met his gaze and echoed, "I agree with the general. Instead of waiting here to be buried, it's better to find a way out."
Hou Yuanji was in tears.
If Lu Wanyin and the others were not also trapped here, he would have suspected that Lu Wanyin was going to silence him.
He tried to support his body with his only intact leg: "That..."
Before he could even begin to speak, Lu Wanyin had already supported Xie Jingci and crossed the narrow path ahead.
Hou Yuanji: "...hurry up and catch up."
He couldn't help but slap Wu Fan.
Although he had always been at odds with Lu Wanyin and the others, when it came to this life-threatening situation, he still wanted to follow her.
Although he suffered a lot at the hands of Lu Wanyin along the way.
Not only is he burdened with a huge debt, but there is no good place on his body.
Now he has two hands and one leg injured.
But for some reason, he always felt that as long as he followed Lu Wanyin, he would not die this time.
Seeing that some prisoners, driven by their instinct for survival, had already followed Lu Wanyin without his permission, Hou Yuanji became even more anxious: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and catch up."
The road inside the cave is bumpy and difficult to walk on.
Xuan Qi and others led the way with torches in hand. Lu Wanyin supported Xie Jingci and kept an eye on the surrounding situation as they walked.
Soon, the view opened up and a platform appeared in front of everyone.
The hailstones were much smaller than before I went to bed, and only fell once every few days.
On the platform at the exit, there was a layer of hailstones, some of which had already frozen.
Lu Wanyin looked at the thick layer of ice and frowned slightly.
It was so cold that the hail froze so quickly.
Where did the rain come from to melt the frozen soil and pour water into the cave?
