Chapter 415 The truth of the matter
The subsequent rescue was much simpler.
Yun Fu arranged for people to hold torches and stand in a circle around the edge of the pit.
The combined light from all the torches was enough for Cheng Qingyan and Qi Xu at the bottom of the pit to clearly see the long rope being slowly lowered.
"You go first."
Cheng Qingyan pulled the rope, confirmed it, and let Qi Xu go first.
Qi Xu didn't push or shove him. He tied the rope around himself and climbed up.
Above, Jin Lu, who was pulling the other end of the rope, felt the weight of the other end of the rope and began to pull it up hard.
His movements were somewhat hasty.
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou also joined in.
The three of them worked together and pulled the man up in a short while.
"Xu'er! You scared your mother to death!" Liu Qing rushed forward, hugged her precious daughter, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou also looked at Qi Xu.
Seeing that she seemed to have some serious injuries all over her body, I felt relieved.
Jin Lu stood aside, his body stiff. He tried to raise his hand to touch Qi Xu several times, but he held back. His eyes fell on the coat that Qi Xu was wearing, which should belong to a man, and his eyes darkened.
If he remembered correctly, this blue coat should belong to the man named Cheng.
"Cheng Qingyan, Master Cheng is still down there, hurry up and rescue him."
Qi Xu did not forget that Cheng Qingyan was still downstairs.
Soon, Cheng Qingyan was also pulled out of the deep pit.
"Master Cheng, why aren't the people down there saying anything?" They still wanted to continue rescuing people, but after dropping the rope for a long time and shouting for a long time, they didn't hear any movement from below.
"There is no one alive down there." Cheng Qingyan replied calmly.
"No one is left alive? Are all the others dead? Are you and Miss Qi Xu the only ones left alive?"
Cheng Qingyan glanced at the person asking the question: "What do you want to say?"
"No, I just feel that compared to you, Master Cheng, their luck is really too bad."
"You're right. Their luck was truly terrible. Some were killed by rocks when they fell, while others were severely injured and died later."
After Cheng Qingyan killed those people, he had already thought of a countermeasure.
He threw a few more stones at them and told Qi Xu not to say anything after being rescued, as he would find a reason to resolve the matter.
Cheng Qingyan was not afraid of bearing the infamy of murder. The reason he concealed the truth was that he did not want to implicate Qi Xu and ruin the girl's reputation.
Qi Xu raised his dark eyes and looked at him without saying anything.
So, this is the solution he came up with?
"What's going on?"
The sight of the eaten corpse caught everyone's attention.
Cheng Qingyan replied calmly, "Those injured people were so hungry that they ate this man's flesh. Unfortunately, when they fell, their injuries were too severe and they died."
These excuses Cheng Qingyan made up may be enough to deceive others.
After the bodies were brought up, Yun Fu, Qi Hanzhou and the others saw through the cause of death at a glance. They were not killed by stones at all.
——
After going back.
When Qi Xu was taking a shower, he realized that he was still wearing Cheng Qingyan's coat.
It was a mess before. She had to comfort her frightened mother and coax Qi Yu and the other little kids. She had forgotten that Cheng Qingyan had thrown his clothes to her to keep her warm when they were downstairs.
Qi Xu folded the clothes and placed them on a stool beside him.
I plan to wash it clean and then return it.
After dinner, Yun Fu asked her to stay.
Ask her what happened when she was trapped in that pit.
"I'm afraid not much of what Cheng Qingyan said is true. How did those people die?"
Yun Fu didn't want to find out the real cause of death of those people. She wanted to find out the truth and wanted to know whether Qi Xu had suffered any injustice there.
Because she felt that Cheng Qingyan lied to conceal the truth, and this matter was related to Qi Xu.
Facing Yun Fu's question.
Of course Qi Xu had to tell the truth.
Tell what happened next.
Yun Fu raised her lips lightly: "Cheng Qingyan did a good job on this matter."
Qi Hanzhou and Qi Xu were usually quiet, and the two siblings didn't have much to say to each other. But this time, Qi Hanzhou spoke with a serious expression, "From now on, don't go over to the mining area."
He didn't want Qi Xu to encounter such a disgusting thing again.
"Third brother, those are just minions. I'm not afraid of them. Even if Cheng Qingyan is not here, I can deal with them." Qi Xu didn't want to be looked down upon by him and wanted to prove that he was also strong.
Not a poor little person who can be bullied.
Yun Fu understood Qi Hanzhou's thoughts very well and explained, "This has nothing to do with your skills. Your third brother just doesn't want you to be disgusted by these things again."
"Okay, let's leave it at that! Just do as Cheng Qingyan said. From now on, that's the truth of the matter."
What Cheng Qingyan wanted to do was exactly what Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou wanted to do.
They didn't want Qi Xu's reputation to be affected by this trivial matter.
Qi Xu noticed that Cheng Qingyan did not have dinner with everyone. The bloodstains on his clothes came to his mind, and he guessed that he must have been injured.
It's impossible to fall from such a high place without any injuries.
So Qi Xu returned to his room, took out two bottles of the best healing medicine, and knocked on Cheng Qingyan's door.
"Who?" Cheng Qingyan's low and hoarse voice came from inside the room.
"It's me, Qi Xu." Qi Xu replied confidently.
"What's up?"
"Something happened." Qi Xu did have something to do.
"Is it very important?" Although Cheng Qingyan did not order them to leave, the meaning of his words probably meant that if there was nothing important, they should leave quickly.
"Yes, it's very important." Qi Xu answered, holding the medicine bottle.
Cheng Qingyan put on his clothes, stood up and opened the door, and saw the little girl standing outside.
"I wonder if Miss Qi Xu has something important to ask Cheng?"
Qi Xu raised the small porcelain bottle in his hand: "I'll bring you the medicine."
"Is that all?" A hint of confusion flashed across Cheng Qingyan's eyes.
Is this an important matter?
Qi Xu saw the meaning in his eyes and replied seriously, "Isn't this matter important? You know, if you don't treat the injury and let it develop, it will become very serious."
As she spoke, her watery eyes fell on Cheng Qingyan's arm: "For example, if you don't treat the wound on your arm in time, it will become inflamed and ulcerated. In the end, you may have to cut off your arm to save your life."
