Lou Xiao was so nervous that she pulled his hand without noticing how hard she was pulling.
She strode forward along the path pointed by Mo Jingchun without distraction, not knowing that Mo Jingchun's hand was almost broken by her.
But Mo Jingchun was not a normal person either. He lowered his eyelids and looked at the five fingers she was holding on his wrist.
The night pearl in her palm made her skin look pale and cold. The pain went straight from her wrist to her heart, and her heart beat wildly uncontrollably.
It was not to test his pulse or to be on guard against him, it was simply because he wanted to take him and escape.
In Mo Jingchun's life, no one cares about his life.
The experiences in Qieyue Village were too unbearable to recall.
Later I thought I had met the right person, but it turned out to be a scam, and there was no turning back.
My hometown in the Shiwandashan Mountains is just an unattainable dream.
No matter how long you wander around, you will always be just a ghost with nowhere to rest. If your heart is at peace, death is not that scary.
He knew that she had no feelings towards him, maybe this was just a courtesy, thanking him for going down the mine to find her...
They heard a faint creaking sound behind them. The heavy soil and stones squeezed them, making it seem as if a giant beast was chasing them.
In front of him was a woman who was running at full speed using light skills, pulling him, who was not good at martial arts and was seriously injured, trying to escape from the huge mouth of the beast underground.
Lou Xiao didn't even bother looking back, her hair flying as she focused on the road ahead.
Mo Jingchun gave her timely guidance without any reminder, as if he was very familiar with it.
They both felt something was wrong when the road, which they thought was smooth, gradually became muddy under their feet.
The ground behind me was collapsing, and the cold water seeping under my feet indicated that the worst had already arrived.
The water from the underground river began to spread.
Now Mo Jingchun had no time to think about anything else. He no longer saved his energy and just used his luck to gallop along with her.
Lou Xiao's face looked very ugly. Mo Jingchun took the time to comfort her under the flickering light of the night pearl.
"The new mine tunnel has been reinforced and will not collapse so easily. It's almost there."
Lou Xiao only glanced at him from the corner of her eye, not wanting to ask him why he knew so much about the mine at this critical moment.
Once we reach a safe area, we will have plenty of time to find out the truth.
The ground beneath their feet was muddy at first, but gradually a shallow layer of water emerged. As the two of them hurried along, there was only the sound of water splashing and Mo Jingchun's breathing.
The earth wall behind them collapsed silently because the water from the underground river had softened the soil, and the road they were walking on was bound to collapse sooner or later.
When they reached the corner, there was a passage that went straight up. Lou Xiao then realized that she had been holding onto Mo Jingchun's hand.
Not knowing if his great strength had hurt him, he quickly let go.
Mo Jingchun was somewhat stunned. Being released like this really made him lose his mind.
She rushed up in one step. In the narrow passage, she stepped on the earth wall a few times and jumped far away. She seemed to look down, silently urging him to catch up quickly.
Mo Jingchun also wanted to follow, but he really had no strength left.
The old wounds were tearing at his internal organs, as if they were being cut by a thousand knives, and as he gasped for air, the pain pierced his entire body until he felt weak.
The water under his feet was slowly rising, and the soil soaked by the water became soft, ready to swallow his body like a swamp.
Mo Jingchun looked up, threw the night-shining pearl in his hand up, and said with a smile,
"After going up, there is a cave. Go straight from the cave entrance on the left rear, and you will find the exit of another mine."
He gasped and covered his chest, "Alas, I died for you, you must remember me."
