All he wanted was to get out as soon as possible.
"Waaah... I want to go home!" Even though he was asleep, Xu Qingshi suddenly started talking in his sleep. Clearly, what he longed for most was to go home.
Xu Heming, who was originally nervous, was stunned when he suddenly heard his son sobbing.
Is Xu Qingshi nearby?
This realization delighted Xu Heming.
"Sigh!" Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou sighed deeply, feeling extremely regretful. He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to go with the child to get something.
Now, they haven't gotten what they wanted, and they're stuck in a predicament.
"Qing Shi? Father-in-law?" Xu Heming asked cautiously upon hearing this.
"Hey, I must be hallucinating. How come I heard Prince An's voice?" Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou felt that he must be hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could he have heard Xu Heming's voice?
"Lord Li? Young Master?" Qingsong naturally heard Li Tianyou's mutterings and quickly called out again.
This time, Li Tianyou truly heard it clearly.
He didn't expect that Xu Heming would actually come.
“We’re here!” Li Tianyou responded excitedly upon hearing this.
After saying that, he quickly nudged Xu Qingshi beside him and said, "Qingshi, wake up, your father is here."
"Grandfather, my father didn't come. He was called away by someone else!" Xu Qingshi was having a dream in which his father was about to come to save him, but was called away by someone else.
He could only wait helplessly in the pit.
In the end, they starved to death.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? Your father has really come, and we'll be rescued soon." Li Tianyou didn't understand what he had said wrong, so he quickly tried to comfort him.
"Qing Shi? Father-in-law?" At this moment, Xu Heming had found the cave entrance and shouted to the people below.
“Prince An, Qing Shi and I are down here.” Li Tianyou waved to Xu Heming above.
"Are you alright?" Xu Heming asked quickly, worried that the two might be injured.
"It's nothing, we just can't get up there ourselves," Li Tianyou quickly said.
Neither Xu Heming nor Qingsong had any ropes with them.
"Your Highness, if I jump down, could you please pull Lord Li up in a moment?" Qingsong looked at the hole and, noting that it wasn't particularly deep, quickly asked.
"Okay, be careful." Xu Heming had no objection. They didn't bring any ropes, and Li Tianyou and Xu Qingshi wouldn't be able to get out on their own, so someone of them would have to go down.
At this moment, Xu Heming also fired another signal flare to save them from having to search for the person again.
With Xu Heming's permission, Qingsong jumped into the pit without hesitation.
"Brother Qingsong, you've finally arrived." Xu Qingshi almost cried when he saw Qingsong.
God knows how much he suffered these past two days.
He almost thought he was going to starve to death in that pit.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Qingsong looked Xu Qingshi up and down, and after confirming that he was alright, he turned to Li Tianyou and said, "Lord Li, I will push you up first, and the Prince will pull you up from above in a moment."
"Thank you for your trouble, Qingsong." Li Tianyou didn't refuse, after all, he himself couldn't go up there.
Either let the pine tree carry you up, or you'll starve to death in this pit.
"Lord Li, please!"
With the support of the pine tree, Li Tianyou finally emerged from the cave entrance, and Xu Heming quickly reached out and pulled him out.
"Your Highness, let me carry you out."
Seeing that Li Tianyou had already left, Qingsong spoke to Xu Qingshi who was standing to the side.
"Wait a minute." Xu Qingshi originally wanted to go out, but when he thought of the beautiful stones on the ground, he quickly picked up a few and hugged them to his chest.
"Young Master, shall we just leave these stones behind?" Qingsong asked uncertainly. Although he could carry the stones with him, Qingsong felt that they were just ordinary stones.
