Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 194: Escape from Danger

"Not good, Prime Minister, we must go quickly!"

The gunpowder, the current gunpowder could only detonate at a fixed point and wasn’t powerful enough, otherwise, it could be used in warfare. But even a weakened version of gunpowder, if a pile were detonated over there, would be enough to completely seal off the cave entrance!

Long Yue grabbed Li Qingmu and was about to rush outside, but Li Qingmu instead pulled her back, "Don’t go, it’s dangerous!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

As soon as the words fell, "Boom boom boom..."

A loud noise came, the entire cave shook violently, countless rocks fell from above.

"Yue’er, be careful, get down!"

Li Qingmu moved forward to protect Long Yue, rolling onto the ground with her, conveniently next to a low table, Li Qingmu huddled with Long Yue next to it.

"Cough cough cough..."

The cave kept shaking, various debris sprinkled from above, the air inside became filthy, everyone was about to suffocate.

"Ah ah ah, help—"

"No, don’t..."

"Bodhisattva save me—"

The craftsmen were scared out of their wits by this sudden scene, crying like ghosts and wailing like wolves, some were even hit by the falling rocks from above, blood splattering, dying miserably on the spot.

"Get down... cough cough cough, get down, find cover!"

Li Qingmu shouted loudly, those nearby heard and followed suit, luckily escaping disaster, while some who were too far away and in open areas were directly crushed to death by falling stones.

The cave was still shaking, stones kept falling, at this moment, Long Yue felt the apocalypse was coming! It seemed the cave could collapse anytime!

She tightly held onto Li Qingmu, only this way, could she feel she still had warmth, still alive!

Was it true that in the face of real disasters, women were this weak? Only by relying on men did they feel secure?

In her past life, was she too strong-willed, leading to a desolate life?

Just as she was in a trance, a magnetic and hoarse man’s voice came to her ear, "Yue’er... it’s okay now..."

Okay?

Long Yue slowly lifted her head.

"Drip!"

It seemed something warm fell on her cheek.

Long Yue’s eyes widened, looking at the man in front of her.

His forehead was covered in blood, so much blood, it kept flowing, dripping, his chest, her own shoulder, arm, all covered in blood!

A horrifying red sight!

"A Mu, A Mu!"

At this moment, Long Yue thought she was going crazy, almost voiceless!

So much blood, he actually bled so much, would he...

A sharp pain surged in Long Yue’s head, she felt extremely dizzy.

"Yue’er, I’m... I’m fine, just some small stones... only hit me..."

Li Qingmu’s weak voice sounded, he struggled to lift his hand, gently caressing Long Yue’s face, showing a relieved smile.

She’s fine... as long as she’s fine!

"A Mu..."

Long Yue took a difficult breath, the air seemed very stale, she looked up carefully, only then did she realize that not only his forehead, but his shoulder, arm, were all injured, bruises were needless to say, bloodstained and very miserable.

Right, he was holding her all the time, placing his own back in the danger zone!

"You... why are you so foolish... boohoo..."

At this moment, Long Yue couldn’t hold back any longer, tears burst forth.

Why is it always you who gets hurt...

"Yue’er, I’m fine, really, it’s just... it hurt a bit, Yue’er, I should say sorry, I shouldn’t have brought you here..."

Considering their current situation, wouldn’t it make no difference who got hurt who was fine? Trapped in the cave, once the air runs out, they would surely die!

It was all his fault, if not for him, bringing Yue’er here, would she be in danger?

Li Qingmu gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain on his body, supporting himself to stand up.

"We must quickly escape, otherwise... cough cough cough..."

"Benefactor, benefactor, what should we do? What should we do now?"

"Yes, how do we get out, the entrance is sealed!"

When Li Qingmu stood up, he saw those craftsmen kneeling down and kowtowing to him, pleading for help.

Li Qingmu was taken aback, "Did you mistake me, I’m not a benefactor..."

"Benefactor, just now we were all panicking, didn’t know what to do, it was you who told us how to avoid it, that’s why we escaped a disaster!"

"Yes, you are our benefactor! Benefactor, you’re so smart, if even you can’t find a way out, we’ll just have to wait for death!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

These craftsmen were all honest people, each looked at Li Qingmu pleadingly.

Li Qingmu fell into silence, with Long Yue’s support, he slowly moved around.

"The air in this place..."

He reached out to wipe the blood on his forehead, stones mixed with heavy dust, sprinkled on top mixed with the blood, instead, made the wound quickly coagulate, he wiped off the blood blocking his view, looked around.

The air was murky, but seemed to be moving slowly.

There’s wind!

This place was not sealed, they wouldn’t suffocate to death, but would starve or thirst to death alive.

Li Qingmu, supported by Long Yue, walked step by step, then looked at the craftsmen walking with him nearby, "Is there another path inside here?"

"There is, there is, this tunnel is very deep!"

"Take me there!"

"Okay!"

"Benefactor, it’s only these spots. Oh, this road is blocked!"

Li Qingmu followed over thirty craftsmen to the end of a tunnel.

The previous explosion and cave collapse had crushed more than a dozen craftsmen, now left only such a few people, one of the craftsmen pointed to a blocked hole on the side and said.

"What’s inside here?"

Li Qingmu’s eyes lit up, he seemed to hear the sound of running water, could it be a mistake?

"An underground river! Mining requires water, there’s an underground river here, but it was blocked a few days ago."

Li Qingmu went up to check the stones blocking the place, lightly tapped, suddenly asked, "Can you swim?"

The craftsmen were stunned, all nodded, "Yes, those who do our kind of hard labor can’t avoid going into the water, of course we can! And many of us are quite good at it!"

"Good, still have energy?"

"Yes!"

"Get the tools, let’s move these stones away!"

"A Mu, are you saying to go through the underground river?"

"Yes, the air is circulating here, the underground river must lead outside, if we go through it, we can definitely get out!"

"But your injuries..."

Long Yue looked at him worriedly, his injuries were so severe, the weather so cold, what if he catches a chill, can his body take it?

Li Qingmu knew what she was worried about, he smiled at her, "It’s okay!"

Soon, the craftsmen fetched shovels, chisels, hoes, and other tools, and started digging to clear the passage.

These people were originally doing this kind of work, already well-versed, previously they were at a loss only because they had no leader, facing death they all panicked.

Now, after Li Qingmu’s analysis, they all knew there was a great chance for survival.

Hence, they were full of vigor.

After half an hour, the passage here was dug through.

"Splash!"

The sound of flowing river water came out.

"It’s through, it’s through, hahaha!"

"Great, we’re saved! Previously there was someone blocking our way, we couldn’t escape, now we can! Benefactor, many thanks to the benefactor!"

These craftsmen knelt down to kowtow to Li Qingmu, the couple hastily helped them up.

"Uncles, please don’t do this, we didn’t do anything! By the way, since the way is clear, let’s go quickly!"

"Benefactor, can you swim? Do you need our help?"

Long Yue looked at her husband’s scarred body and pointed at him, "I’m fine, you help him."

"Okay, let’s go!"

"Splash splash..."

Water splattered everywhere, the craftsmen led Li Qingmu down the underground river.

Two quarters later, light appeared ahead.

Finally, they made it out!
