NCCnovel Chapter 138: Salvation
Chapter 138: Salvation
What Lou Xiao didn't know was that while she was struggling to survive underground, above the ground,
Li Huaiqing and his men were exhausted from digging the collapsed mine day and night.
Those laborers who originally mined minerals are now trapped here and have not had a rest for many days.
"Report - three more bodies have been dug out..." A short and very clever soldier nimbly ran to Li Huaiqing's tent.
The people inside looked anxious and quickly stepped out.
"how?!"
Li Huaiqing's eyes were dark blue, and the veins on his hand holding the pen were bulging. "Can you tell who they are..."
The soldier took out a letter from his pocket and explained, "Master Erliu at the scene has read it and found that it is not the person you are looking for.
This is a letter that just arrived from the capital to the village. It is specifically addressed to you, sir. Your Excellency said that you should open it, so I asked you to deliver it quickly."
Li Huaiqing exhaled and raised his breath again, nervously saying,
"Beijing..."
Could it be that because of Lou Xiao’s accident, His Majesty came to personally reprimand him?
He took the letter with both hands, and realized belatedly that if His Majesty was asking for accountability, it would definitely not be just a letter, without even an imperial envoy.
He saw that the handwriting on the envelope was quite wild and guessed who it belonged to.
But when he really opened it and faced the man's ugly handwriting throughout the whole thing, even though he read it in its entirety, he still found it very unbearable.
Since you are a member of the royal family, can't you write better?
No wonder Lou Xiao was so confident that he could beat him!
Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu!
Holding the letter in his palm, Li Huaiqing slowly sat down at the table.
The soldier raised his eyes carefully to observe his expression, and asked respectfully in a low voice, "Sir, do you have any other instructions? Lord Erliu said he is waiting?"
Li Huaiqing heard the villagers outside who were carrying stones shouting slogans and trying their best to dig for the missing woman.
He knew they were all saying that she would not survive.
But no matter what, he couldn't stop the excavation for both moral and logical reasons.
"Nothing to tell you. Go tell Erliu that His Royal Highness King Youshan will be here soon."
It was not His Majesty who held him accountable, but Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu, who once sent people to assassinate Lou Xiaogan in the street and then went to visit him hypocritically.
He came as soon as Lou Xiao was in trouble. It seems that King Youshan is really loyal and righteous.
Li Huaiqing could already be seen, and when he came he must have wanted to kill himself.
Something happened when she was with him, but he was safe and sound when she got into trouble. Li Huaiqing must bear the anger from all sides.
Even the words in the letter were impolite. I didn't know if the knife would be placed on my neck when he came.
Li Huaiqing picked up the pen and put it on the paper. A large amount of ink seeped out. He paused for a long time, but didn't know how to write next.
Lou Xiao—please don’t die.
----
There is no one on the cliff in the deep mountains.
A small stream of water rushed down from the top of the cliff, and due to the occasional mountain breeze and the sun's rays,
The water broke in mid-air, turning from a silver ribbon into pearls, flying in the wind.
Before it reached the bottom of the cliff, it became a free bird and disappeared between heaven and earth.
At the bottom of the cliff was a deep, almost black pool of water. A few bubbles floated on the still calm surface, but they were not noticeable.
Then gradually more bubbles appeared, as if something huge was about to break out of the water underneath.
Even the little deer that came to the pond to drink water was so frightened that it took three steps back, its big ears shaking nervously.
Although I was scared, I was more curious about what would come out of the water.
As more and more bubbles appeared, a figure gradually emerged from the dark water.
If you look closely in the sunny weather, she seems to be carrying another person.
Getting closer to the water,
Lou Xiao finally broke out of the bottomless pool—"Ha!"
As soon as she came into contact with the fresh air, she opened her mouth wide and breathed rapidly, almost suffocating.
The warm sunlight fell on the water through the gaps between the leaves. The originally calm mirror-like water was now rippled, spreading towards the shore with her as the center.
The curious little deer was frightened and ran away for its life.
Lou Xiao's eyes were stimulated by the not-so-strong sunlight, and she squinted slightly.
People who have not seen the light for a long time suddenly come to the ground and inevitably have blind spots.
Although she couldn't see the scenery clearly, she swam towards the shore instinctively.
He was still holding Mo Jingchun in his hands, but he was motionless.
The water in the pond was clear and cold. She was almost exhausted and only had instinct left.
After finally touching the rocks on the shore, she climbed up first and then dragged Mo Jingchun, who looked like a dead person, onto the shore.
The rocks on the shore are covered with moss, and a few rays of sunlight shine through.
Mo Jingchun, who was lying on it, had a pale face and his eyes were tightly closed.
With messy hair and tangled silver jewelry, she looks like a withered flower, gorgeous and desolate.
Lou Xiao knelt beside him, patted his face with one hand and called him, "Mo Jingchun! Mo Jingchun!"
Did he really drown?
She first felt his breath, then pinched his wrist to check his pulse.
The barely perceptible beating made her feel uneasy. She violently ripped open his clothes, exposing his entire chest.
She placed her palms together over his heart and pressed down hard.
Time and again, Mo Jingchun remained silent.
She lifted his chin, took a deep breath and blew down hard, then repeated the pressing process, back and forth.
The only sound beside the quiet pond was her breathing. A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled.
A dead leaf fell in front of her eyes, just landing on Mo Jingchun's face, covering his eyes that should have been gentle and affectionate.
"Mo Jingchun... don't die." Lou Xiao murmured.
After several times, she reached out to feel his pulse at the neck.
I pressed one hand on his chest over his heart, feeling the gradually growing stronger beat.
Suddenly, there was a cough under the dead leaves.
Large streams of blood and water flowed from his lips, landing on his chin and the stone moss beneath him.
Mo Jingchun turned his head and vomited blood, coughing as if he was going to vomit out his internal organs.
Lou Xiao had no choice but to pat him on the back so that he could drain the excess water out of his body.
"Mo Jingchun?"
The dead leaf on his face fell to the ground. Mo Jingchun was bleeding from his mouth and nose and was choking and coughing.
Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Lou Xiao confirmed that he had recovered his life, with a smile on her face, she supported her body with one hand, patted his face with the other hand and called his name.
"Hey! Mo Jingchun, are you alive?"
The man who was panting like a bellows opened his eyes with difficulty.
She turned her back to the sun and smiled wider and wider. When she looked down at him, the water on her hair dripped onto his chest.
Her red lips moved slightly, calling his name.
"Don't be surprised by the spring."
"Alive." He said hoarsely, and laughed foolishly with her, "I'm not dead!"
Seeing this, Lou Xiao knew that he was out of danger and laughed happily.
"You almost died! Does the King of Hell not want you?!
Look! We are out! Hahahaha—Oh my God! I beat you again! "
