Chapter 43: Survival in a desperate situation
Zhuxi magistrate Chu's mansion is now in a mess.
Chu Zhongmin is over 50 years old, and Chu Yu is considered to be his son in old age. The Chu family is only a single seedling, and he is so pampered since he was a child. Even if he bumps into it, he will feel distressed for a long time. He really puts it in his mouth and is afraid of it melting, and holds it in his hand and is afraid of falling.
The Chu family attaches great importance to Chu Yu, as it is said that in three years, the Qing magistrate 100,000 silver silver. But for Chu Yu, Chu Zhongmin held his hands tightly and missed so much white silver. In the officialdom, there were some eyes staring at him behind his back and making mistakes. The reason why Chu Zhongmin was careful was that he was afraid that something would happen one day and even this only seedling could not be saved.
But it was just such a treasure who was holding it in his hand and counting on the future to inherit the Chu family's family. Suddenly one day he came back and was told that "it will not be used in the future." How could his fragile heart accept it? He could no longer withstand the blow. He immediately rolled his eyes and leaned back on the chair of the Grand Master behind him.
Chu Yu was still crying, and Chu Yu's father was not awake. This made the servants of the magistrate's government busy and rushed forward to slid their eyes and pinched them. After working for a long time, the old man could only wake up.
Chu Zhongmin woke up because he woke up, but he could only fall on the chair with weak energy, and even trembled with his fingers for a long time.
At this moment, another group of guards came back to report.
Originally, it was fine if Mr. Chu didn't see this group of people, but he almost fainted again when he saw this group of people.
The people kneeling in front of him were all the ones who had gone out with Chu Yu before and were the most powerful guards in the mansion. Now they all became one-eyed and were beaten to the point of being stumbled back to the house, but they were still fled.
His son became a useless person and his subordinates became disabled. Mr. Chu felt so angry that even if he arrested the two evil people, he would be unable to relieve himself.
"Go... and catch those two people... I'm going to peel them!" Chu Zhongmin slapped the table, screaming with red eyes, and his whole body was trembling with anger.
Qian Hu said: "Master, take care of yourself. That pair of dogs and men are extremely powerful, but the slave has forced the man into a dry well, and the wellhead is blocked with a huge rock. Even if the two of them have supernatural power, they will be unable to escape. They only have to wait for a few days, but they will die of thirst. At that time, we will get them out, and it depends on the master to kill or cut them!
Chu Zhongmin gasped and wiped his face when he heard this, "Okay, okay. Just wait for him for three more days! Three days later, I will avenge my son in person!
...
Qi Xiu was mourning, but there was still a stone wall behind the stone wall, and there was no soil poking.
I don’t know how long it took, but she just chiseled two fists in the stone wall in front of her. The size that could accommodate a person was still out of reach. Qi Xiu only felt his arms were sore and soft.
The shaft was not ventilated, and the only exit was blocked again. It was okay to sit like that just now. It didn't take long to move around like this and she felt stuffy and hot. At this moment, her face was covered in sweat, and her hair was stained with sweat and stuck to her face, making it even more sticky.
What's even more terrible is that she is still hungry.
Qi Xiu has always been afraid of hunger and thirst, and this situation is like adding insult to her, who is already not resistant to heat.
Qi Xiu let out a deep breath, stood firm against the well wall, and asked Juechen: "Why are we digging stones?"
Juechen had already dug a hole about five inches into the stone wall at this moment, but it was a little deeper than Qixiu's one, and the soil behind the stone had been exposed.
He was too lazy to explain to her, but Qi Xiu couldn't hear his answer and asked twice, then explained: "Escape."
"But...but why do you have to dig a hole to escape?" Qi Xiu continued to ask, as if he did not agree with this method.
Juechen snorted coldly, "Do you have a way?"
Qi Xiu pointed at the top of his head, "Isn't there an exit there?"
Even though Juechen couldn't see it, he knew where she was talking about. The huge rocks brought by seven or eight guards together weighed hundreds of pounds. Not to mention that they had no place to borrow power from the bottom of the well, even from outside, I was afraid that they could not move half of them with the strength of the two of them. And this stupid girl actually thought it was just an ordinary lid, and she wanted to escape from there.
Juechen did not laugh at her for being whimsical, and said coldly: "Then you go there."
Since he could communicate with others normally, eight out of ten sentences made people feel uncomfortable. Qi Xiu heard his sarcasm and sighed helplessly, and then she didn't say anything again.
She didn't speak, and Juechen didn't take the initiative to say anything. Only the sound of chiseling stones could be heard in the dark and narrow shaft.
After a while, it seemed as if he had noticed that the tone he had just spoken was a little too much. Juechen finally spoke, his tone was still as salty and light as it was, "If you are tired, take a break."
Only two sounds of Qi Xiu whipping from the shaft came from the shaft, as if he was holding his energy and trying to get along with someone.
Unable to hear her response, Juechen thought she was angry, so hesitated for a long time and added: "Just now, I didn't really let you go there."
Although it was barely considered an apology, there was no apology in his tone. It seemed that he was not used to bowing his head and surrendering. Juechen's words seemed particularly embarrassed and shy, so they sounded a little angry.
"Um..." Qi Xiu finally responded, but the voice was not right, like a movement squeezed out of his throat with his belly bulging.
This time, Jue Chen also noticed something was wrong with her and groped with her backhand. The man was empty behind her, and she didn't even touch Qi Xiu's hair.
"Hey!" Jue Chen couldn't help calling her, and his heart suddenly felt panicked. Where can she go in such a narrow shaft?
"Huh...I...is..." Qi Xiu continued to make a slight sound in his throat, which seemed to be quite difficult. When she heard Juechen calling herself, she answered with difficulty.
"At...huhuhu...here!" The last word was spit out, and she suddenly increased her voice. The almost roaring sound echoed in the narrow and closed shaft, almost deafing Juechen's ears.
As she shouted, the ground heard a loud bang, and the sound became clearer after it came to the bottom of the well, like thunder, causing the stone powder on the well wall to fall down. This was also a blessing for the well to be abandoned for a while, otherwise the stone wall inside the well would have to be shattered.
Juechen felt a sudden lit up on his head, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes. In the dazzling light, smoke and dust could be seen everywhere around the wellhead, and several stones of different sizes fell into the well, barely brushing his shoulders.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and Juechen still had not adapted to the sudden bright light for a moment. He half-squinted his eyes and looked up. There was a small clear blue color in his eyes. Closely against the well wall, a person was hanging in the air, half protruding out of the well platform, and half in the well passage.
The sunlight outside formed a dazzling halo above her head, like Hercules falling from the sky.
