Chapter 566 Extra - Search and Rescue
Chen Shi whimpered, "Sleepy."
"No!" Ye Zhiyuan said coldly, "If you don't keep an eye on me, I won't marry you after we get down the mountain!"
The man's voice was really cold. Chen Shi frowned, opened her eyes, and glared at him angrily.
"Ha, you were just saying...we'll stay together until we grow old!"
"So you need to keep a close eye on me," Ye Zhiyuan said. "Don't let me get away."
Chen Shi pouted, weak and in pain: "Then I'll keep an eye on you, how much dowry can you give me?"
"That depends on what you want. Think about it and tell me one by one later, and I'll give it to you."
Chen Shi responded and actually began to think about the betrothal gifts.
Ye Zhiyuan had found a path that was close enough to get down the mountain. He had two guards accompany him, and the rest of the people had also finished resting and were ready to set off at any time.
In order not to hold each other back, Ye Zhiyuan naturally took the first step.
Two guards stood on either side of them, ensuring their safety.
On the way, in order to keep Chen Shi sober, Ye Zhiyuan asked her about the betrothal gifts, the decoration of the princess's mansion, and even answered her questions about their future children, blushing as he said the child's name.
Then Chen Shi mocked him, "You've already thought of a name for the child, so you've clearly had your eye on me for a long time, haven't you?"
Ye Zhiyuan readily agreed: "Yes."
Although she knew he wasn't telling the truth, Chen Shi still smiled contentedly.
Regardless of the process, if the outcome is good, then everything is good.
The only question now is whether she will live to see that day.
For some unknown reason, the excruciating pain she had felt earlier was gradually fading away, as if all sensation in her body was disappearing.
She was of course unaware that this was because the wound medicine Ye Zhiyuan had given her was working; she only felt that her time was probably coming to an end.
And so she gazed even more intently at the man who was carrying her and walking briskly.
As dawn broke and the rain completely stopped, Ye Zhiyuan and his companions encountered a few minor accidents along the way, but fortunately they only stumbled and fell a few times.
No matter what danger there was, Ye Zhiyuan's first reaction was always to hold Chen Shi tightly, which made Chen Shi feel more and more at ease.
Finally, as the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, Ye Zhiyuan and his three companions encountered the first search and rescue team led by Chen Ci.
The two groups met, both feeling an indescribable excitement, followed by nervousness.
Ye Zhiyuan carried Chen Shi to Chen Ci and said, "Your Highness, Shi is injured."
Chen Ci inquired about the cause and effect, then took Chen Shi's pulse, and after a period of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no damage to the internal organs.
There is hope.
Ye Zhiyuan was still a little uneasy, after all, His Highness the Crown Prince was not a doctor.
Fortunately, since Chen Shi and Shu Tong were trapped, the rescue team brought up the imperial physician.
Chen Ci gestured, and a royal physician stepped forward to quickly examine Chen Shi, arriving at the same conclusion as Chen Ci.
Ye Zhiyuan then carefully placed Chen Shi on a stretcher, while reporting the situation of the others to Chen Ci.
“We split into two groups. I left a few guards and medical staff to protect the medicinal herbs in a cave on the mountain. The rest of us followed me down the mountain and are currently coming down this road.”
In other words...
"Is Shu Tong still on the mountain?" Chen Ci asked, his heart leaping into his throat.
Given the heavy rain last night and the current conditions on the mountain, the cave must be extremely dangerous.
I dare not think about what I will say next.
“Yes.” Ye Zhiyuan glanced down at Chen Shi. “I know the exact location. I’ll take you up the mountain to find it. The sooner we get there, the safer we will be.”
Before Chen Ci could refuse, Ye Zhiyuan bowed and spoke to Chen Shi in a low voice: "The road down the mountain from here is relatively flat, and I feel at ease with the imperial physician here."
Chen Shi understood what he meant and nodded: "Go, and make sure you bring your sister-in-law back safely."
With Shu Tong on his mind, Chen Ci did not refuse. He ordered a team of men and a royal physician to escort Chen Shi down the mountain, and then led Ye Zhiyuan and the other search and rescue teams up the mountain quickly.
...
Having survived the torrential rain and the mudslide that flooded the cave, everyone was thrilled as a glimmer of light gradually seeped into the pitch-black space, as if they had finally seen the light of day.
As the intermittent sounds of flash floods and landslides that had been echoing in her ears all night gradually faded away, Shu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
We finally made it through.
However, besides waiting, we still need to do some things.
"I estimate that the search and rescue team has already started, but the landslide and mudslide will definitely make it harder to find this cave entrance. We'd better do something to try to shorten the rescue time."
Otherwise, if they can't get in from outside and can't get out, it will obviously be another period of crisis.
"What do we need to do?" Everyone responded enthusiastically, after all, dawn was breaking, and that was the hope for survival.
Shu Tong discussed the situation with several guards left behind by Ye Zhiyuan and decided to use the existing tools for digging herbs to start digging from the inside out.
Clear a path through the sand and gravel that's pouring in, enough to crawl out, even if you have to stoop.
The female healers took out the food they had stockpiled from the medicine box. They ate some food with the little boiled water they had left and then began to divide the work.
Around noon, Ye Zhiyuan finally arrived at the cave with Chen Ci and the search and rescue team.
At first glance, everyone's expressions became solemn.
It was clearly visible to the naked eye that the cave had been completely covered by a mudslide, with only a small crack about the width of a palm at the top...
