Chapter 142 Hope



Yang Shushu moved in surprise at first, but then slumped back down. "What good is it to know where it is? We still can't escape anyway."

Mu Shicang felt the warmth and softness of the girl in his arms, and he really didn't want to leave like this, so he teased her, "Then why don't you stay here with me?"

"Would it be nice to starve to death together?" Yang Shushu asked in a rather dismal tone, "And then rot here with all this grain, turning into mud?"

"..." Doesn't this woman have any romance that belongs to a woman?

"Tell me where it is first." Yang Shushu adjusted her mentality. To be honest, she was not really scared when chatting with him at this moment.

"I just said that we are in Huiyang Mountain. I hadn't thought of this place before, but when I heard those people shouting just now, I remembered it. Huiyang Mountain is famous for its azaleas, but more than ten years ago, there weren't so many azaleas on the mountain. There were more large grasslands, a natural pasture. Many farmers used to raise cattle and sheep here, but as the originally wild azaleas were discovered, more and more azaleas were planted here little by little, and the grass became less and less, leaving only the patch to the north. Now there are only two or three small pastures there. A few years ago, my second uncle wanted to buy it and build a factory there, but because the industrial sewage was polluting, the government didn't approve it. But I went there once then, and I remember there was an abandoned warehouse, but because it was far away from the pasture, no one used it."

After Mu Shicang finished speaking, he put his arm around Yang Shushu's waist. Just as Yang Shushu was about to struggle, he heard him say, "Be obedient and don't move. Let's try to stand up together and see if we can climb to the top. I remember there is a ventilation hole near the roof of this warehouse. We can try to get out from there."

As he spoke, he pinched her waist with both hands and lifted her up: "So, try crawling first."

Yang Shushu felt a little itchy as someone pinched her waist, but she didn't care about it. The most important thing was to have a chance to escape.

She didn't say anything, but climbed up using her hands and feet.

If it was really the place Mu Shicang mentioned, then the grains were probably many years old, and the bags might have rotted. But when Yang Shushu grabbed them, she unexpectedly found that she did not grab a handful of rotten debris, but a piece of wood that was pressed very firmly.

She exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, it seems that there are not only grains on it, but also wood, which can be grasped."

Mu Shicang was also quite surprised when he heard this. Taking advantage of the strength of Yang Shushu's hand that had already grasped the object, he moved his hand slightly downwards, sending her to a higher position.

Yang Shushu has been independent and self-reliant since she was a child. She would not allow herself to let down at a time like this. Her original body's physical condition was not as good as hers, and it was a bit difficult for her to climb up at this time, but she still said nothing, gritted her teeth, and tightly grasped the compacted wood above. With the help of the strength given by Mu Shicang, she climbed up with all her strength.

With more force from above, the weight under the feet could be much lighter. Yang Shushu climbed up little by little, stepping on the bags of rice.

Fortunately, although the pile of things here was high, it had no ceiling. When she climbed up, she felt gusts of wind passing across her cheeks, and then she shouted excitedly to the people below: "Mu Shicang, there is wind up here, there must be a window, come up quickly..."

But thinking of this, she became a little worried again: "Well...how about I find a long stick and pull you..."

"Hmm? What are you touching the stick for?"

A laughing voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Yang Shushu was startled: "Oh my god, when did you get up here? No, how did you get up here?"

She climbed up, borrowing most of his strength and exerting all her strength, but before she could even catch her breath, he came up? Don't tell her that he is actually a martial arts master hidden in modern society!

"I've climbed the outer walls of buildings with more than ten floors, so this is nothing." Mu Shicang's voice revealed a bit of youthful pride. It was something that others had not seen, and it seemed that Yang Shushu was seeing it for the first time as well.

It’s just dark now, so I can’t see his expression.

"Climbing the outer wall of a building over ten stories high for no reason, are you Kaito Kidd?"

"Don't compare me to a thief." There was no displeasure in his voice in the darkness, but his hand was groping in the air, and finally he touched her hand and stopped.

"Hey, Xiao Muye doesn't watch cartoons. I thought you only read world classics." Perhaps because the hope of escape was right in front of her, Yang Shushu felt better.

"I'm born by my parents, so why can't I watch cartoons?" Holding her hand tightly, in this dark world, Mu Shicang suddenly felt like he had grasped the light.

"Yes, there's nothing you, Little Mu Ye, can't do. So what should we do next?"

"Follow the direction of the wind, that should be the ventilation vent."

This is easier said than done, but it is still somewhat difficult. Although I climbed up, it was covered with wood. These woods were not of uniform thickness, so I had to step on them based on my feeling, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The only thing to be thankful for was that these woods were not particularly dry and brittle, and could not be cracked with one foot. It seemed more like they were put in recently.

"It seems that there are people coming here." Yang Shushu said.

Mu Shicang understood what she meant: "But we can't just wait for someone to rescue us. Come here, head over there."

He said briefly, and then touched the direction where Yang Shushu had just made the sound. He happened to touch Yang Shushu's chest, which scared her. She slapped his hand away and said, "Where are you touching?"

"What's the matter? It's not like I haven't touched it before." Mu Shicang's smile spread in the darkness, and inexplicably made Yang Shushu imagine the pair of peach blossom eyes shining with lust, so her face turned red uncontrollably. Fortunately, the darkness covered everything.

"If you have the time, run away first, Master Mu. There are a lot of women waiting for you to tease them once you escape."

Mu Shicang's hand clawed in the darkness again, finally grabbing her shoulder, then moving down and grabbing her hand: "But I just want to tease my wife, hold on tight."

The voice was still smiling, as gentle as usual, but there seemed to be something else. Yang Shushu didn't think about it too much. This time she followed him very cooperatively. The two of them held hands and slowly moved towards the direction of the wind.

The wood piled on top was of different heights, and some were even loose. The two of them were almost knocked down and rolled down several times, so their speed became even slower.

"Master Xiaomu, I feel that the distance of this wind is not far, why can't we feel the light?" After moving a little further, Yang Shushu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Mu Shicang sighed: "Can't you just call me by my name?"

"Why are there so many things? People calling you Master Xiaomu probably really think you're a master. I just think it's a good nickname."

Mu Shicang: “…Heh.” As long as you like it.

"The vents above here should all be covered with blackout curtains so no light can get in. We need to first find the ventilation spots and then remove the blackout curtains."
