Chapter 209 If You Cry, I Cry Too
Deep in the mountains and forests.
In a narrow crevice several meters long.
The giant python's body was stuck at the deepest point; it was already dead.
The five missing people were finally brought to the ground, albeit unsteadily.
Five days after falling into the crevice, they were finally rescued!
Finally, Gu Chengzhou and Mu Daye were proposed.
The slit looked like it had just cracked open; it was extremely narrow. Xiao Zhang and the others were stuck in the middle, about 30 feet off the ground. People above had to be suspended by ropes to rescue them upside down.
Some people are stuck tightly, and it will take some digging into the surrounding rocks to pull them out.
Several people took turns going down, but all returned empty-handed.
Either I don't have enough arm strength, or I feel dizzy and my head is congested with blood, making it impossible to keep going.
In the end, only Mu Daye and Gu Chengzhou completed the mission.
Once they reached the ground, the two looked at each other with mutual respect, but Mu Daye quickly turned his head away.
They were stuck down there for too long, and the lower bodies of all five people were basically stiff.
Two of them were seriously injured and had fallen into a coma.
After giving them some water and medicine, their condition improved somewhat.
Xu Rui went over to Xiao Zhang to check on him and pressed on his swollen leg.
Thankfully, it can still move.
"Waaaah... Brother, I knew you'd come to save me!"
Xiao Zhang cried and tried to hug Xu Rui's leg.
Xu Rui took a step back, disgusted: "Stinky!"
Of course it stinks! The poop and pee all end up in its crotch!
"I want to take a shower!"
"Wash my ass! Get him up and get out of here!" Xu Rui cursed.
Several people quickly carried the person onto a stretcher made of grass and vines.
Xiao Zhang's brain isn't working properly.
Is this his elegant, kind-hearted, and patient older brother?
How can he even swear?
Liu Erzhu weakly looked around and found that everyone was injured and their clothes were torn, clearly indicating that they had fought with wild animals.
Finding this place must have taken quite a bit of effort, right?
Unexpectedly, his worthless life would one day benefit from Brother Zhang's influence, and the county magistrate's son would come to save him.
"Brother, your arm is injured too, have you put on any medicine?" Xiao Zhang called out again.
It feels like there's grit rubbing in my throat, and I'm terribly hoarse.
"Brother, is my wife terrified? She must be terrified. I need to comfort her when we get back."
Xu Rui was deep in thought, his mind racing.
When they went into the mountains, they couldn't find the route, so they took detours to safer paths and specifically searched for caves and rivers where they could avoid danger.
Despite being extremely cautious, we still encountered a pack of wolves.
When the fighting reached its fiercest point, his mind went completely blank.
Unexpectedly, a melody appeared.
He seemed familiar, yet I had clearly never seen him before.
A voice is saying, blow it, blow it... everything is yours to control!
Surrounded by wolves and with his guards protecting him as he fled, he inexplicably picked up a leaf from the ground.
The melody began.
Then, a flock of birds arrived.
They attacked the wolf's eyes frantically, and in doing so, they managed to escape.
Where did that melody come from, and why did it appear in his mind?
The flute music he used to play seemed to have a similar effect to this melody.
His thoughts were interrupted by Xiao Zhang's incessant chatter, and he was about to say "Shut up."
Xiao Zhang said in a pitiful, fearful, and self-talking tone, "I thought... I was going to die here..."
"At first I thought I had an older brother, and he would definitely come to save me, but later I didn't dare to think about it anymore."
The mountains and forests are so vast, and we've ended up here; even if we came, we wouldn't be able to find it.
What I fear most is that if you come here and get attacked by wild animals, you might die here too!
It doesn't matter if I die, but it won't do if you die. You still have to earn food for the people.
I don't want you to come anymore.
Xu Rui opened his mouth, but didn't stop him from speaking again.
"But I'm scared. I'm scared that my wife doesn't have children yet, and she'll be forced to marry someone else in the future. What if that person treats her badly..."
"Then I thought, am I being silly? With my brother around, he won't just stand by and watch my wife get bullied."
"I was just waiting to die, but then my brother came... Haha, my brother came... Cough cough cough..."
"Stop talking!"
Xu Rui fed him water again, then rummaged around and pulled out a piece of candy to put in his mouth.
"It's delicious, bro! How did you find me?"
He kept mumbling and trying to speak.
"Brother, did you encounter a pack of wolves? Your wounds look like wolf bites."
"Did you burn some wolf hair to cover it up?"
"Which road are we on? I've never been on this road before. It seems a bit safe."
Xu Rui finally lost his temper: "Shut up!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone: They should have shut up a long time ago, they're so annoying! If it weren't for the young master being here, they would have stuffed his stinky socks into his mouth!
Why should he get a piece of candy from the young master?
...
At the foot of the mountain, Magistrate Xu had already summoned the doctors who were waiting.
When he saw the person, his cold demeanor vanished, and he rushed up to them, almost kneeling down.
"My...son—how did you get hurt!"
Xiao Zhang scrambled to his feet, propping himself up halfway, and asked, "Um, Your Excellency, should I call you 'Father'?"
Magistrate Xu: "..."
They retreated silently.
It stinks!
Xu Rui forced a smile, "...Let's save them first!"
"Yes, yes, quick, save her! Um, someone come quick, quick, Miss Lu—"
Xu Rui suddenly looked up.
Magistrate Xu has already begun giving orders:
"Dr. Pang, quickly take a look at my godson!"
"And you all, hurry and save them."
Lu Qingqing ran forward carrying a first-aid kit, glanced at the wound on Xu Rui's right arm, and asked, "What bit you?"
"Wolf."
Xu Rui took a step back, shielded his face with his left arm, and sniffed his clothes.
Lu Qingqing pulled off his arm and looked at it.
There was no blood on the mask, but there was a ring of stubble around the exposed mouth.
She ignored him and quickly unwrapped the bandage on his right arm.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't too serious.
"What did you apply?"
"The wound medicine you made."
"This won't work!" a doctor shouted.
Lu Qingqing took out a jar of ointment and handed it to Xu Rui: "Apply it yourself, it's antibacterial. Are there any other wounds?"
"No."
"Sure?"
Xu Rui nodded quickly.
"Go and see them."
Lu Qingqing reached into her bag and took out another piece of candy.
"The wind howls and the Yi River is cold, but a piece of candy makes my mouth sweet."
Here, have this to tide you over.
After saying that, she shoved it into his hand and ran off to the other people.
Xu Rui pursed his lips.
What happened?
Even without eating any candy, I already felt sweet all over.
"Xiaomeng...no, stay away from me, I stink—"
A hoarse shout came from the side.
Li Meng ignored him and hugged him, sobbing uncontrollably.
She cried with her face pressed against hers.
This is something lost and then regained; I don't mind at all, I like it so much I cry without caring about anything else.
Xiao Zhang was extremely happy, yet also extremely heartbroken.
"Don't cry, don't cry, your crying makes me want to cry too... Waaaaah—"
Physician Pang waved his hand and summoned two constables:
"It's alright, just take him home and let him cry all he wants!"
Xiao Zhang is fine, and Liu Erzhu is also okay, they just need to rest for a few more days.
Those three people who had been injured by the giant python were in a terrible situation.
The person who just said they couldn't do it anymore really can't.
He only had time to say one sentence to his family before he died.
His parents held him and wept bitterly.
