Cuizhu put down the pork and listened carefully.
It sounded like someone was calling them, but the voice was very soft, so they must have been some distance away.
The two quickly threw away the pork they were holding and hugged each other, weeping with joy.
"Miss, that's wonderful! The magistrate and the county princess have discovered we're missing!"
"Yes, Cuizhu, we're saved!"
After a brief moment of excitement, the two began to respond to everyone.
"We're over here!"
"Over here, we're over here!"
"......"
The two excitedly cupped their hands around their mouths and shouted towards the cave entrance.
But after calling for a long time, no one answered them, and even their calls gradually faded into the distance.
Gradually, they stopped hearing anyone call their names.
The two of them shouted for a while, and their voices became hoarse.
Lin Xiyao and Cuizhu were exhausted and hungry, and their hopes had been dashed. All their pessimism erupted at that moment.
"Cuizhu, do you think we're going to die?! Waaaaah..."
At this moment, Lin Xiyao was completely panicked. If she really died in the deep pit, what would happen to her father and mother?
My parents only have me as their daughter. If something were to happen to me, they would be devastated!
"Miss, no, no, even if I die, it will be Cuizhu who dies. Cuizhu is willing to give her life to pay for it," Cuizhu sobbed softly.
Although she was afraid, she was, after all, Lin Xiyao's older sister.
The older sister naturally wants to protect her younger sister, and Cuizhu is willing to give her own life for her.
Moreover, ever since Cuizhu arrived at the Lin family mansion at a young age, the nannies there have often admonished her to be loyal to her master and to protect him at all costs when necessary.
Cuizhu didn't know how to save Lin Xiyao, but if it were possible, if Heaven really wanted both of them to die, Cuizhu was willing to die several times in exchange for Lin Xiyao's safety.
Lin Xiyao hugged Cuizhu and cried bitterly, "Cuizhu, don't talk nonsense, we will definitely get home safely!"
As if she had thought of something even more heartbreaking, Lin Xiyao, who had been sobbing quietly, suddenly burst into tears.
"Cuizhu, we agreed before that we would find a suitable husband, but now it seems that we will not be able to find one!"
Which girl doesn't dream of love?
When the two talked in their bedroom, they also fantasized about their future husbands.
He must be a man skilled in both literature and martial arts, and of extraordinary appearance.
Then, we'll ask my father to adopt Cuizhu as his goddaughter and find her a good husband. In our free time, the two of us can take our children boating and enjoying the flowers.
These fantasies are likely about to burst into flames!
"Waaah, Miss, we...we will find it!" Cuizhu sobbed as she answered.
The two were crying together when a man's joking voice suddenly came from above.
"Miss Lin, don't worry, you two will definitely not die, and you will find your ideal husbands!"
Lin Xiyao and Cuizhu let go of each other and tacitly raised their heads to look up.
A man dressed in a moon-white brocade robe stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the two with a playful expression. This man was none other than Han Mingyue.
Although Han Mingyue and Lin Xiyao had never spoken before, they had glanced at each other from afar a few times, so they recognized each other.
Lin Xiyao looked up and examined Han Mingyue. The brocade robe was embroidered with bamboo patterns, and the smile on his lips was like the bright moon, seemingly shining into Lin Xiyao's heart.
The thought that Han Mingyue must have overheard her and Cuizhu's conversation made Lin Xiyao feel embarrassed.
"Young Master Han, you're really boring! You're eavesdropping on other people's conversations!"
Lin Xiyao also knew that what she said was unreasonable.
She was initially happy that someone had come to rescue them, but the thought of others hearing her embarrassing words made her lose her joy.
Han Mingyue wasn't angry after hearing what Lin Xiyao said.
Instead, he chuckled and said, "This young master didn't want to hear such shocking words from you two ladies, but your voices were too loud, so I was forced to!"
"you...!"
Lin Xiyao was speechless for a moment. If she hadn't twisted her ankle, she would definitely have stood up and argued with him.
She just thought Han Mingyue lived up to her name, huh!
Seeing that Lin Xiyao was speechless, Han Mingyue turned her head to the side.
"Yuanbao, the vines are all cut!"
Yuanbao brought down his knife and ran towards Han Mingyue, carrying Tengman.
"Alright, alright, all done!" Yuanbao said as he jogged along.
Yuanbao placed the vine in his hand from top to bottom. Yuanbao looked at the vine with satisfaction. It fit perfectly, with about a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) remaining.
"Miss Lin, my young master just likes to joke, you don't have to take it seriously. Come on, whoever comes up first, my young master and I will pull you up!" Yuanbao shouted with a smile towards the cave entrance.
Lin Xiyao's embarrassment had already eased considerably, but Yuanbao's words made her feel awkward again.
However, now was not the time to be willful. Lin Xiyao dragged the vines over and tied them to Cuizhu's body.
Cuizhu quickly refused, "Miss, please go up first, I'll go up later, it's alright!"
Without saying a word, Lin Xiyao tightly tied the vine to Cuizhu's body, and even tugged hard with her hand to test the stability of the vine.
Lin Xiyao finished tying the rope and then said to Cuizhu, "Silly Cuizhu, your hand is dislocated. How are you going to get up there? You go up first, and I'll follow you."
Cuizhu found this to be true and stopped refusing.
Lin Xiyao looked up at Yuanbao and said, "Brother, it's tied up, thank you for your help!"
snort!
She simply doesn't want to talk to Han Mingyue right now!
Who told him to dare laugh at her!
Han Mingyue's eyes were full of smiles. She and Yuanbao exchanged a glance, and together they slowly pulled Cuizhu up.
Because Cuizhu had injured one hand, she couldn't untie the ropes binding her body herself, and she was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Han Mingyue and Yuanbao are men, and there is a difference between them and her. Cuizhu was still very reluctant to get so close to Han Mingyue.
"Hey! Aren't you the woman who got robbed last time?" Just as Cuizhu was sweating profusely while untying the vines, she suddenly heard Yuanbao speak up.
Cuizhu looked up and carefully examined Yuanbao for a while before recognizing her benefactor.
"You're the guy who helped me last time!" Cuizhu said in surprise.
About a year ago in the capital, Lin Xiyao wanted to eat hibiscus pastries from East Street, so Cuizhu took her money bag and went out to buy them.
Unexpectedly, she was targeted by someone with ulterior motives who snatched her purse and happened to run into Yuanbao.
