Chapter 172: My Lord, Help

Tears don't solve the problem.

Air is already scarce in the secret passage, and emotional agitation is more likely to cause fainting.

However, the child didn't listen at all, and the more he coaxed, the more he cried.

Her ears were noisy, Xia Qiu didn't even have the strength to speak, she silently picked up the stones, and passed them back if she couldn't pile them up.

She didn't want to die, but if there was a glimmer of hope, she couldn't give up.

Lu Tingxiu coaxed the children softly, telling them that they would be saved after moving this pile of stones.

The child is not easy to coax, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize a little.

Everyone worked together to move the stones, and there was no place to put down the originally congested tunnel.

The air was thin and pitiful, and several weak children fainted one after another, and even Xia Qiu's consciousness was blurred.

Despair welled up in his heart, the child staggered in the tunnel, Xia Qiu's hands were worn out of the skin, lying on the stones and panting.

Suffocated and sleepy, the whole secret was terrible, Xia Qiu was dizzy and sleepy, but he was woken up by Lu Tingxiu from time to time.

He wasn't much better, he couldn't open his eyes anymore.

Xia Qiu moved his body, resting his head on his shoulder, and was so sleepy that he was napping.

Lu Tingxiu held her hand, supported it with his last will, and kept squeezing her hand.

One time......

Double-click......

Three times ......

The tunnel was as terrible as death, his body was staggering, and he could occasionally smell his breathing with difficulty, but he was so weak.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

"Ah......" Xia Qiu woke up suddenly, "Xiu" opened his eyes wide, "Someone!" ”

"Get up, there's someone, there's someone outside." Xia Qiu shouted excitedly and kept moving her head.

I was a dizzy person, but I was suddenly stimulated by a high-pitched voice, and I couldn't help but be sober.

"It's Weigo."

Not only was there the sound of moving stones outside, but Wei Ge also shouted the names of Xia Qiu or Lu Tingxiu from time to time.

"We're here." hit chicken blood, Xia Qiu raised his voice.

Seeing hope, everyone lifted their spirits again and used their last strength to move the stone desperately.

The sound outside, getting closer and closer, until a fresh air came in, accompanied by a faint light.

The crowd breathed greedily, and the blocked tunnel was quickly dug through.

The children held hands, one by one, and walked out of the secret passage.

Outside, the moon is bright and the stars are balanced, and dawn is coming.

At the entrance of the cave, there were several corpses of black-robed people, as well as more than a dozen bamboo barrels of explosives.

Something was wrong, Lu Tingxiu looked at Wei Ge.

Wei Ge touched his head and smiled.

It turned out that since the three of them separated, he had been hiding in Lin Zidong until Xia Qiu came out to relax, and then learned that the two were being held hostage. He took the opportunity to kill the black-robed man who fell alone, and he was unknowingly mixed in, and was directly ordered by Pei Chuan to blow up the ginseng channel.

Pei Chuan already knew about the secret passage, if it weren't for Wei Ge's coincidence, Xia Qiu and the others would really have to be buried together.

In order to prevent the puppet corpse from slipping through the net, Lu Tingxiu decided to blow up the hole and block the last passage.

Seeing that the two of them were about to nod, Xia Qiu hurriedly stopped, "Wait, I left something in it, and I can only blow it up when I take it out." ”

What is more important than human life? Lu Tingxiu was puzzled.

Money, of course.

Qiao Feng was slightly extravagant, and Pei Chuan collected a lot of treasures in order to please her, and those jewels were expensive, especially the blood pearl, which was priceless.

Lu Tingxiu was surprised, and then angry.

Xia Chubby, I really want money and don't want to die.

Xia Qiu didn't explain, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that if you blow up here, there will be no more puppet corpses?" ”

Lu Tingxiu was stunned, isn't it?

"At first it was Shengji, then here, maybe a third, a fourth?" She also wanted this to be the last place, but the place where Qiao Fengwei sacrificed last was not this cave. And the dungeon where she was imprisoned in her previous life is also not here.

Smart people don't put their eggs in the same basket.

Lu Tingxiu was creepy.

"If you have money, you can rest easy, but if you don't have money, you can't move an inch." Xia Qiu sat down and settled the account for him, "When a corpse disaster really happens, how can the people in the city eat, drink, and Lazar without money?" Do you rely on your money, or on my barn? ”

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and people bend their waists for five buckets of rice.

Lu Tingxiu stared at Xia Qiu with a stern expression, "You tell me the truth, did you already know that there would be a corpse riot in Huilin County with the food and medicine that you had privately hoarded before?" ”

The relationship between the two is not worse today, Xia Qiu will naturally no longer hide it, but it needs to be done in a different way.

"The death of my father and mother has always haunted me, I know that sooner or later there will be a corpse disaster, but I don't know when, so as long as I have spare money, I will prepare in advance. Now it seems that my hunch was accurate. ”

"So, the encounter with me was also carefully designed by you?"

Xia Qiu blinked and looked at him pitifully, "I said yes, will you be angry?" ”

What about being angry again, of course, to forgive her.

Lu Tingxiu accepted his fate and got up obediently.

Xia Qiu grabbed him, "Where are you going?" ”

"You wait here, I'll go inside." The cave exploded badly, collapsing everywhere, and many stalactites were broken, and there was a risk of a second collapse at any time. She had just returned from the ghost gate, and he would let her go on an adventure again.

couldn't stop Lu Tingxiu, Xia Qiu faintly regretted it. She retreated, she really couldn't take the treasure at the bottom of the box at the end of the box, and she couldn't let him risk himself.

Wei Ge couldn't get used to seeing the two of them rushing to die, "Don't toss, I'll go." ”

A group of people, only Wei Ge is intact, and he is skilled, he is indeed the best choice.

Xia Qiu told him the location and advised: "Safety is important, if you can't get it, forget it, don't be reckless." ”

Wei Ge thought she was verbose, waved his hand directly, and entered the secret passage in a dashing manner.

This bear child!

Xia Qiu was annoyed with him, and his heart was uneasy.

When the sky was faintly bright, and the morning was hazy, a shadow came out of the secret passage, carrying a bulging burden in his hand.

It's all money, Xia Qiu took it and hugged it tightly. Money is a good medicine, and she now feels no pain all over her body, and everything is comfortable.

Money fans, someone can only slander themselves.

In front of two hundred children, women and children, Lu Tingxiu weighed again and again, and did not confess his true identity.

Xia Qiu's guess is not impossible, as for who is the mastermind behind the scenes, he has already judged in his heart, but he just didn't get the evidence.

Today's self is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. If you pick everything in the open, you won't be able to eat and walk around.

Most of these children are from Lin County, some are missing, abducted, bought and sold, and the slightly older children still have memories of home.

Having figured out the nearby terrain, the three of them took their children through mountains and rivers and left from another hidden and dangerous road.

Before leaving, bury the remaining explosives in the secret passage. With the loud sound of the earth shaking, the secret passage completely collapsed and blocked.

Stop and rest all the way, and finally see the mountain village with smoke curling in the evening.

Those who know the direction and know the direction to go home will go home in a group by themselves. For those who were younger or homeless, Lu Tingxiu paid some money and temporarily fostered them in a farmhouse, and then made other arrangements for them to return.

The wind was galloping all the way, and it was late at night when I rode back to Lin County.

After a few days of disappearance, the yamen was already in disarray. Xu Mingliang announced to the public that the magistrate suddenly fell ill with a strange illness and was seriously ill to recuperate.

Many subordinate officials discussed it privately, and some gossipers even wanted to see what medicine was sold in the gourd of the county magistrate on the pretext of visiting the patient.

However, there was a vicious dog tied in front of the Lu Mansion, and he couldn't even touch the gate.

Seeing Lu Tingxiu standing in front of him, Xu Mingming's mood suddenly collapsed, and he said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, you are finally back." ”

Help me!
