Xu Yuehuai felt as if her body no longer belonged to her; waves of stinging pain emanated from her body. After drinking some rainwater, she finally felt that the burning sensation in her body had subsided.
She didn't know how long she had been lying on the ground, but after a long time, she finally heard the voices of those demons again.
"These people are probably dead. Since we can't start a fire anymore, let's bury them all in the ground."
"Everyone, get moving! After burying these bodies, we can leave this place."
"This is really bad luck. So much blood on me, it's so dirty. Hurry up and get it done, we need to go back soon."
The lead officer spoke, then urged the men around him to get to work quickly: some dug pits, some disposed of the bodies, and some buried them.
After they started their operation, Xu Yuehuai was also thrown into the pit by those people, treated as a corpse.
Because Xu Yuehuai was seriously injured, covered in blood and various wounds, the people carrying her did not sense her presence and truly mistook her for a corpse.
Xu Yuehuai was barely breathing at this moment. When those people threw her into the pit, she felt as if her body was about to fall apart.
He landed on a pile of corpses but wasn't seriously injured. Then, some corpses fell on him, and dirt was piled on top of them.
The officials were only thinking about getting back as quickly as possible, so they sprang into action. They quickly covered up the pits so they could leave.
After the pit was covered, Xu Yuehuai felt that she could not breathe at all, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Even her nasal cavity was filled with mud.
However, Xu Yuehuai gritted her teeth, trying to maintain a semblance of composure.
After the officials finished burying the area, they left quickly, cleaned up the traces around it, and then hurriedly departed.
Did Xu Yuehuai only try to climb out of here after all these people had left?
But now she is buried completely, and there is no way for her to escape from here.
But if she didn't escape, she would truly face certain death.
Xu Yuehuai thought about how much effort she had made since coming into this world, only hoping that she could live a peaceful life with her family. But along the way, she had encountered so many dangers, as if someone in the dark didn't want her to have an easy time.
There are probably no survivors around here, so even if Xu Yuehuai wanted to find someone to rescue her, there was absolutely no way to do so.
Xu Yuehuai can only rely on herself now!
She still had many things to do and hadn't yet met up with Qi Guze.
If Qi Guze knew she was dead, he would probably be extremely heartbroken.
She absolutely cannot die here!
Xu Yuehua gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and then a surge of energy suddenly came from somewhere. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to escape alive.
Then, Xu Yuehuai quickly rummaged through the corpses beside her, trying to crawl out from among them.
She struggled for a long time, and almost thought she was going to fail, but she never gave up. She kept crawling out from among the corpses, and then she dug through the soil, digging from the bottom up.
After a long time, Xu Yuehuai finally managed to climb out of the pit of corpses. He was completely exhausted and seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed to the ground.
The ground was wet with rainwater, and her whole body was instantly soaked. When the rainwater touched her wounds, it was as if they had come into contact with concentrated alcohol, and the pain that had disappeared before swept back in.
Xu Yuehuai felt an intense stinging pain all over her body, her whole body was trembling, her face was deathly pale, and she could only barely open her eyes a crack. At this moment, she was unable to move.
"It hurts...it hurts so much..."
She felt that if she stayed here any longer, she would probably really die.
The temperature around them dropped drastically. Xu Yuehuai, who was only wearing thin clothes, was now completely soaked. He was lying on the ground and couldn't move to any other place.
Her vision was blurry, and suddenly she saw what looked like a pair of feet walking towards her.
Is she really going to die? Why are there other people in front of me? Aren't there no living people left here?
Xu Yuehuai simply couldn't believe that a living person had appeared in front of her; she thought she was about to die.
But suddenly, it seemed like she heard that person's voice again, "Sister! Sister! How are you?"
"Don't scare me!"
"Please don't die! You're the only one I have now!"
Xu Yuehuai couldn't hear what the person was saying or see what the person looked like. She only felt as if she had entered a warm embrace, but being held in that embrace was also extremely painful.
It's unclear how much time passed before Xu Yuehuai finally regained consciousness.
She coughed violently, her whole body felt burning hot, as if it were about to smoke, and her body felt like it was falling apart, in excruciating pain.
Xu Yuehuai struggled to open her eyes and then saw a thin figure dragging a rope, which was tied to a wooden plank. She was lying on that plank.
That slender figure struggled to drag the plank forward, carrying her along.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this scene, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"You are... Xia Sen?"
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse and broken, as if she could barely speak.
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's voice, Xia Sen hurriedly and excitedly turned around.
"Sister, you're finally awake!"
Xu Yuehuai asked, "What exactly happened? I thought you were dead... How much time has passed since then?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Sen quickly replied, "Actually, my grandfather and I were in danger at the time, but at the most critical moment, my grandfather protected me. He paid the price of his life to save me."
"Before he died, he told me that he knew a young girl had been helping me take care of him recently, and he wanted me to follow you so that I could repay your life-saving grace."
"After I survived this ordeal, I immediately thought about going back to save my sister."
