When the old man returned home happily, he told his wife that he had explained everything to Lord Yunfu, and received an affirmative answer from Lord Yunfu, that is: do not worry about the problem of where you will live and pension after retirement, and it will definitely be satisfactory at that time. When the old woman heard this, she was very happy at first, but then she asked, "Did Lord Yunfu say where we live in the future and how much pension we will give you?" The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this true, but since Lord Yunfu said this, I believe that he will definitely not treat me badly in the future." When the old woman heard this, she couldn't help but speak again: "Old man, you, you are too honest, I just hope that Lord Yunfu will not break his promise in the future." But the old man didn't pay any attention to his wife's words, but persuaded her: "Old woman, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and everything just goes naturally, why worry so much." So, since then, the old man, as before, has done all the things that Master Yunfu has explained seriously, and has never had the slightest procrastination and prevarication because he retired after the New Year. Because of this, when he saw that others were not serious about building this big mansion, he would inevitably point it out, so that other subordinates often said to him: "Old Liu, you are all about to retire, everything is almost as good as the requirements, why should you be so serious, and don't let go of any minor problems!" Man, although I know that I am going to retire after the New Year, but to do things for others is to be serious, from the beginning to the end, there must not be a little sloppy, otherwise if everyone finds that there is a small problem in the matter and does not say it, then it will be too late to talk about it when this small problem becomes a big problem in the future. When the other party heard this, he was speechless.

As time passes, the end of the year is coming in a blink of an eye, and at this time, under the meticulous supervision of the old man, this mansion and all the household items that need to be purchased in it have all been done. When the old man invited Lord Yunfu to come over and observe, Lord Yunfu looked at the spacious and bright mansion, coupled with all kinds of spotless household facilities, and his face was full of smiles, but he heard him say: "Old Liu, thank you for your hard work, I really didn't expect you to be able to build this courtyard so well and tidy up so neatly." And the old man hurriedly said, "Thank you for the compliment, this is what the little one should do." The old man didn't expect Lord Yunfu to say one day, and he actually laughed: "Haha..." You should remember what I told you when you asked me to retire, right?" the old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Little remember. At this time, Lord Yunfu spoke again: "This courtyard is the residence I promised you in the first place. At the same time, in order to thank you for your dedication to our Yunfu for nearly forty-four years, I have also prepared for you enough property for you to use for a hundred years. "Ah!" happiness came so suddenly that the old man froze for a moment. At this time, Liu Qi was awakened by a sentence. "Congratulations on passing the second serious heart test. At this time, Liu Qi realized that it turned out that in any situation, he could be serious and meticulous was the right way.

Liu Qi, who was thinking like this just now, suddenly found that he was back in Liujiabao's home, and at this time, the room where he was living began to shake violently, and then the roof collapsed, fortunately he was standing in the corner at the time, so he was able to escape the fate of dying on the spot. But in the face of the surrounding objects that have collapsed, almost sealed to death, Liu Qi felt a burst of panic, fortunately, some of the problems in these objects still left hair-like cracks, allowing him to breathe, but with these gaps squeezed in too little air, coupled with the already small corner, and filled with a large amount of dust that had just collapsed the roof, resulting in him feeling extremely uncomfortable every time he breathed, and the voice that wanted to open his mouth to shout for help was also blocked by the ubiquitous dust, and became speechless。 Looking at the originally spacious and bright sky, it suddenly turned into a suffocating space that was almost pitch black and only one foot square, coupled with the inability to speak, Liu Qi couldn't help but shed tears. At the same time, he kept shouting, "Mom, Grandma, where are you, come and save me!" However, there was silence all around, and even the howling wind, which had always been fond of raging everywhere, seemed to be stained with viscous blood, moving slowly without a sound. At this time, Liu Qi knew that he was really in a desperate situation of "calling the sky not working, and the earth should not be", although Liu Qi fell into a desperate situation, but when he knew that except for himself, no one would come to save him in a short time, Liu Qi actually held back his tears, forced himself to calm down, and said silently to himself: "It seems that for a while, my parents and grandma will definitely not be able to come to save me, I can only rely on myself to save myself." So, thinking of this, Liu Qi, who had calmed down, began to reduce the intensity of his breathing, reduce his unnecessary movements, let himself lean lightly against the corner, and tried to make himself no longer afraid and nervous, because he knew that the more scared and nervous, the more unfavorable it was for him, so in order to let himself be able to hold on to this suffocating space for a longer time, he tried to relax his mood, and at the same time, he kept encouraging himself in his heart:" Don't worry, Liu Qi, your parents and grandma will definitely come to save you as soon as possible, what you have to do now is not to give up the idea of survival, and hold on until they find you. ”

Although Liu Qi has always believed in his parents and grandmother deep down, when he knows about this matter, he will definitely try to save himself as soon as possible, but he is completely uncertain how long this time will take, and as time passes by minute by second, Liu Qi, who could still maintain a standing posture, began to lean against the wall, wanting to rely on the strength of the wall to keep himself, but in the end, he slowly sat on the ground. At the same time, he also felt hungry and thirsty, his stomach began to growl, his mouth was dry and wanted to be on fire, and until this time, there was no shouting outside, and there was no room for light, but now it has become even darker, all of which made Liu Qi know that a short time must have passed, but since so much time has passed, "Why haven't my parents and grandmother been able to come over to save myself?" This idea came out of Liu Qi's mind irrepressibly:" Are they in some kind of predicament like me, why haven't I heard their cries for so long?" Although Liu Qi didn't know what caused his parents and grandmother to not be able to come over to save him, Liu Qi did not lose his belief that his parents and grandmother would definitely come to save him, so Liu Qi, who was sitting tightly in the corner, continued to endure the double torment of the outside world and the heart, holding the survival belief that he would definitely be saved, and silently persevered in the darkness, looking forward to the sudden arrival of hope. 、

At Liu Qi's insistence, the entire suffocating small space slowly and completely fell into the night. And when this small space was completely darkened, little Liu Qi couldn't help but clench his little hands fiercely, and he didn't even feel that his nails had almost pierced his skin. Because he has decreased the oxygen in the air, the whole person is no longer very conscious, and can only rely on his subconscious thoughts to carry out instinctive reactions. At the same time, another thought became bigger and stronger in his heart: "Liu Qi, give up, your parents and grandmother will not come to save you, because they are also trapped, so your hope is destined to be disappointed, give up, as long as you give up, then you don't have to endure this multiple torment, just gently use your head to touch the top of this wall, then everything can end perfectly." But Liu Qi began to insist on the belief that said: "No, I can't give up, I'm still young, I still hope that I can take care of my parents and grandmother in the future, I must not die so easily." In this way, two thoughts are in Liu Qi's mind, you come and go, fighting fiercely, and time is also in the fight between the two, quietly passing.

It was darker, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and in this dark night, he was thirsty and hungry, and because he had been sitting against the wall for so long, Liu Qi, who felt the cold air, actually had a trace of soberness. "Mom, Dad, Grandma, I'm so thirsty, hungry and cold, which of you can take me out?" And his slightest sobriety did not last a few seconds, and he immediately fell into a daze again due to insufficient absorption. At this time, another thought once again came to Liu Qi's mind: "Liu Qi, give up, you see that so long has passed, and your parents and grandmother have not come to save you, which means that they will definitely not be able to come to save you, and it is even possible that they all think that you are dead, and you are actually no different from death now, it is just a matter of time or time, you have been starving and freezing for so long, do you think it is really worth it?" And as long as you choose to give up now, then all of this will stop bothering you with a single touch, and you will be able to meet your grandpa right away. "Grandpa" originally felt that Liu Qi, who had said this other thought in front of him, was also very reasonable, and when he was really about to choose to give up, he was suddenly awakened by the "grandpa" mentioned in this other thought. Another thought immediately appeared in Liu Qi's mind: "My grandfather, who is he? By the way, I remember, my grandfather is Liu Xiangtian, and I am Liu Qi, and I seem to remember that my father said the origin of my name, it is because my grandfather once left a note, and until now we don't know why my grandfather entered the 'Demon Spirit Valley' in the first place, so I must not die like this, I must let myself survive, and then go to find out the real reason why my grandfather entered the 'Demon Spirit Valley'." ”

This time, Liu Qi, who was originally in a state of confusion, became sober again because of this unexpected situation, and Liu Qi, who had come to his senses, suddenly heard a shout from outside: "Qi'er, my Qi'er, where are you? Parents and grandma are here to save you." As much as possible, Liu Qi's throat couldn't make a sound because of the dust, but he could still move, so he used all his strength and slammed his clenched fist against the wall. "Poof", although Liu Qi has used all his strength, but this punch full of hope, hitting the hard wall as if he himself had a fart, only made a "poof" sound, although this "poof" sound is too light, but in the current situation of silence in the middle of the night, it was still heard by Liu Qi's family outside. Although only a different voice came into their ears, but for everyone who had almost lost hope, it was also a huge surprise, and Liu Qi's family, who firmly believed that their Qi'er would never be fine, immediately tried all means to quickly move the collapsed items away, and finally, when Liu Qi was unconscious again, his family found him, at this time, it has been almost thirty-six hours since Liu Qi was trapped, fortunately, Liu Qi supported it with his tenacious desire to survive, and was finally rescued by his own family intact。 And at the same time that Liu Qi was rescued from the ruins by his family, Liu Qi woke up, and at the same time, a voice sounded in his ears: "Congratulations on passing the third test of survival heart, welcome to the Heavenly Demon Cave Mansion!"

(You see, the last few chapters have a far more than 3,000 word count, and the main reason is that I want to end this volume in whole numbers.) If you can feel the author's efforts, please add a collection, thank you, may you be healthy every day!)
