Chapter 649: Chi Gou
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Little Lamb ran very quickly. Even if Chi Tu and the others had outstanding martial ability, they couldn’t compare to it in terms of speed and endurance. No one could run for two hours straight using a swiftness technique unless they didn’t want their legs and internal organs anymore.
However, Ah Yu was not afraid that no one would be able to find her. When she left the Ministry of War, she had left a mark at the city gate. Anyone close to her could understand it.
She was riding a sheep, and General Hua was riding a warhorse. Their speed was actually evenly matched.
If not for the fact that Little Lamb was already a little tired from running, Ah Yu estimated that Little Lamb might have been able to lead the way and pass the warhorse.
“Your sheep is not bad.” When they arrived at the mine, General Hua, who originally wanted to see the situation first, couldn’t help but praise Little Lamb first.
Ah Yu touched Little Lamb’s horns and turned to its mouth. She secretly fed it a Myriad Spirit Sacred Fruit and said, “It’s been hard on you. Go and rest. 1’11 call you when we go back.”
Little Lamb chewed and ate the Myriad Spirit Sacred Fruit before finding an empty space to curl up and lie there diagonally.
“It’s a lamb 1 raised since I was young. Its name is Little Lamb. It’s very powerful.” Ah Yu calmly accepted General Hua’s praise for Little Lamb.
General Hua was about to say that he wanted to borrow Little Lamb later to see what was different about it.
If such a breed of sheep was placed on the battlefield, it might even be a huge weapon.
However, before he could do so, someone hurriedly came forward and asked, “Are you an official from Wanning City? Please save them quickly. Most of the mine has collapsed, and the people inside are still trapped!”
The mine had collapsed, and all the people in charge had fled. Only a few people with some conscience were left. However, there were many people buried inside and few people outside to save them, so they could only stand around anxiously.
They had also invited some villagers from the villages over. However, after everyone dug for a while, they saw that the mine had collapsed even more and didn’t dare to move it further.
If the people inside were still alive and they dug through the rubble recklessly and caused it to collapse further, causing the people inside to die, they would really feel uneasy.
“Bring me over to take a look first,” General Hua’s subordinate said after a while. He got someone to bring him over to take a look at the event location.
Ah Yu followed and asked Meatbail on the way, “Elf, can you see the situation inside?”
[Signs of life can be detected.]
[There are 387 people inside, 54 with no obvious signs of life, 43 who are seriously injured and unconscious, and 24 who are trapped and can’t move. The other people’s vital signs are relatively stable, but they’re more flustered and might not be in good spirits.]
Ah Yu didn’t know some of the words, but she could barely understand the meaning.
“Then what can 1 do now? Send water down for them?”
When it came to human lives, All Yu was naturally not stingy with her water.
Mixing high-purity Myriad Spirit Water with ordinary water could allow the people inside to accumulate some strength.
[You can do that, but go and contact someone first. That person has a favorable impression of you of 88. She will definitely cooperate with you fully.]
Ah Yu: “Is it someone 1 know?”
88 favorability points was very high. The Wang Family’s favorability towards her had already increased to 90, and the favorability of the Crimson Guards were also above 85. These people were all people worthy of her trust and who trusted her.
[I can’t sense her for the time being. She’s also buried underground now. You have to think of a way to contact her and cooperate with her from the inside to minimize casualties.]
At the same time, the people buried in the mine were squeezed onto a small platform, surrounded by many thick wooden stakes.
The light was faint, and the wooden stakes were like terrifying ferocious beasts that could fall on them at any time.
The wooden stakes supported their small sanctuary, but everyone knew that anything in the collapsed mine was not absolutely reliable because they could collapse at any time and turn into another deadly weapon.
“Wuwuwu…”
“Mother, 1 want my Mother…”
“My leg!”
Inside the mine, everyone’s cries overlapped. Up until now, many people’s throats were hoarse, but they still couldn’t stop shouting.
In this group of people, there were old and young, men and women.
If people didn’t know that they had been tricked into the mine, everyone would believe that they were ordinary refugees.
Chi Gou was originally unconscious. At the moment of the collapse, she could have relied on her movement technique to dodge and used her ability to escape alone.
However, at the critical moment, she saw a little girl around ten years old. Just as she was about to be hit in the head by a rock, Chi Gou protected the little girl without thinking.
However, she was hit by the rock and almost lost her life. After the True Qi in her body surged, she fainted.
The little girl she protected was also scared silly and stood beside Chi Gou in a daze.
When Chi Gou woke up and saw her scabbed arm, her face was expressionless. She was only thinking.
She originally thought that after the training in the mine ended, she would go to Miss All Yu’s side and replace Chi Tu as her personal guard.
However, just as her training period was almost up, she sacrificed herself to save a little girl about the same age as Miss Ah Yu.
If the leader knew, he would definitely say that she’s indeed unable to take care of Miss Ah Yu.
She was a secret guard. Other than the people her master ordered her to protect, she shouldn’t care about the lives of others.
“Big Sister, why are you crying?” Suddenly, a pair of small hands wiped Chi Gou’s face.
The little girl took out a black steamed bun from her arms and brought it to her mouth. “Are you hungry? Have a bite of this steamed bun. My mother left this for me.”
“No need.” Chi Gou turned her face away coldly.
The little girl was a little afraid of Chi Gou. When she heard this, she shrank her neck and didn’t go forward again.
From time to time, the sound of something collapsing could be heard. Every time it sounded, the crowd would exclaim.
Someone said, “Is it someone digging from the outside?”
“But according to this digging method, everyone will be buried before they can save us!”
“Then what should we do? Will we have no way out?”
“If I had known earlier, 1 wouldn’t have been greedy for those two steamed buns. I wouldn’t have been greedy for the so-called salary. Now, not to mention the steamed buns and salary, I even lost my life!”
“In any case, 1 have a cheap life. It’s fine if I die, but 1 don’t know how my
80-year-old mother will live in the future.”
“Wuwuwu…”
The group of people became sad again.
Chi Gou was even more annoyed when she heard this. She simply endured the pain in her internal organs and walked along the small space.
As she walked, she reached out to feel her surroundings, wanting to find some clues.
The secret guards had to learn all kinds of martial arts and know how to analyze and deal with various situations.
In the past, Madam had taught them to sacrifice their lives when necessary.
Later on, in order to protect the Young Master, the previous Chi Gou was captured by the enemy and committed suicide by taking poison.
The Young Master would teach them that if there was no need, they had to keep their lives.
She had to crawl back to his side.
Chi Gou took a deep breath. She thought of the Young Master’s words and recalled that she had yet to go to Miss All Yu’s side, so she didn’t intend to give up her cheap life.
However, there was really limited space for her to investigate in the collapsed mine.
How could she break out of this situation?
Just as she was thinking, Chi Gou suddenly heard a faint sound.
“Is anyone there? Can you hear me?”
Chi Gou’s eyes widened.
This voice
It was Miss Ah Yu!
