Chapter 809 Difficult Survival
Everyone held weapons in their hands and knocked along the stone wall all the way forward.
Yang Lan'er walked at the end of the line, taking advantage of everyone's inattention to collect the room full of gold and silver into the space.
How to relieve worries, only get rich!
Windfall, how can you let it go!
Walking along the stone wall for more than half a circle, two more wall lamps went out, only to find another stone door.
Still opened the stone gate according to the method of three long and two short. This time they were lucky, there was a long corridor behind the stone gate.
Liu Chunlai found that there was also a lamp on the stone wall of the passage, and asked his subordinates to light the lamp, "Madam, does this passage look like an exit? Do you want to look for it to see if there is still a stone gate?"
"Alright, check all the stone walls that you haven't explored. In case of danger, there are choices and retreats." Yang Lan'er thought that she had reached this point anyway, so she simply explored the cave clearly.
But it is a pity that everyone searched the remaining stone walls and found nothing.
"In this case, let's leave as soon as possible!" Yang Lan'er was relieved when he didn't find it. If he didn't find it, it meant that this corridor was the only way out, not a dead end.
If another tunnel is discovered, how will everyone choose?
Everyone had no objection, the four guards in the front and the four guards in the back, Liu Chunlai protected Yang Lan'er, mother and son and walked in the middle.
The guards in front were in charge of lighting the lamps while walking, and there was an oil lamp on the stone wall a few feet away.
Along the way, Yang Lan'er was secretly speechless. She couldn't understand why the ancients were so keen on digging holes into the ground.
Moreover, the stone cave was not shoddy because of the simple tools. Looking at the smooth stone wall, the exquisite mechanism, and the stone gate that is integrated with the stone wall, one can know that this stone cave can be described as exquisite workmanship.
The corridor is not a straight line, but a curve.
Going straight in the dark corridor, the crowd walked for an unknown amount of time, and there was no day for them to see the time.
It was so long that the two strong children complained that their feet hurt, and they had no strength to walk.
"Madam, let the subordinates carry the young master on their backs."
Yang Lan'er didn't expect this corridor to be so long. Looking at the dark road ahead, it seemed that a monster opened its huge mouth, which made people upset.
She nodded helplessly: "That's hard work for you, wait for you to take turns reciting it, at least it's not that hard."
Liu Chunlai didn't say anything more, and he and the guard Aqiang carried one on their backs and continued to move forward.
The two children ate on the backs of the guards when they were hungry, fell asleep when they were tired, and were still in the corridor when they woke up.
Tan Hanyu suspected that they were standing still: "Mother, why haven't you gone out yet?"
"Hurry up, Yu'er, don't worry." Yang Lan'er looked at the long road ahead, and suspected that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall. Why did he walk for so long and still have no exit?
Tan Hanyu hummed in a low voice.
Liu Chunlai supported the stone wall exhaustedly, turned around and asked, "Ma'am, are you tired? How about taking a rest?"
"Take a break." Yang Lan'er was also tired.
Sit down against the stone wall and ask again: "How much dry food and water do you have?"
Liu Chunlai sat down on the ground, squeezed his dry food bag, "There is still a steamed bun, and there is not much water left. The water can only last for a day for the time being."
For a big man, no matter how economical he is, one steamed bun is not enough to fill his stomach.
The other guards are similar to him.
Yang Lan'er nodded, well, if they can't get to the exit, they will die of thirst if they don't starve.
"How long has it been since we fell through the hole?"
Liu Chunlai glanced at the guards, thought for a while, and answered, "It's been about a day and a night."
"No wonder!"
One day's rations, they can last a day and a night, and there is still one meal left, which is considered a savings.
I just don’t know when this dark tunnel will end?
In a dark and cramped environment, people's negative emotions are easy to amplify infinitely.
At this time, everyone is very anxious!
It's just that they have been suppressing themselves.
Yang Lan'er took out a water bag to feed the two children, and she drank some herself. The water was mixed with space well water, and drinking it could relieve fatigue.
Then he took out three white flour buns from the cloth bag, one for each of the children.
She took a bite and chewed slowly: "Why don't you eat it?"
The guards were embarrassed to stare at the master, and they all turned their heads away.
Liu Chunlai swallowed his saliva, a little shy: "I'm not very hungry yet, we can hold on for a while, ma'am, don't worry about us, eat first when you're hungry."
Yang Lan'er didn't look at them anymore, lowered her eyes, took a bite of the steamed bun, and said in an orderly tone: "Don't wait, when will you wait if you don't eat at this time? Eat the rest of the dry food!"
The guards looked at each other, and after a long while, Liu Chunlai could barely reply: "No!"
Eat it all.
Isn’t there a saying?
Survival from desperation!
Without food, maybe at the last moment, another village can be brightened!
Besides, the guards of Qi's mansion delivered the letter to the barracks and Qi's mansion.
Qi Xiang heard the news that he was sick and put on a war robe, and immediately summoned the guards and personal soldiers in the mansion to set off, and went straight to the steep mountain outside the city.
The military camp is in the north of the city, and the guards had to pass through Pengcheng to deliver the letter.
So the barracks were the last to receive the news.
General Qin was summoning high-ranking generals in the barracks to discuss matters together in the main account of the Chinese army, so when the news was sent to the main account of the Chinese army, everyone was in an uproar.
They were discussing how to deploy defenses against the enemy, but they didn't expect the enemy to be so bold that instead of fighting head-on, they went around their backs to sneak attack. It made them hard to guard against and caught them off guard.
"Who do you think is in the mountains?" General Qin stared wide-eyed, staring at the guard who came to deliver the letter without anger.
The guards of Qi's mansion were drenched in cold sweat from everyone's stares, their legs were fighting with each other, their legs were as soft as noodles!
He knelt down on the ground with a bang!
He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, lowered his head and did not dare to look at any of them, and summoned up the courage to report the names again: "The eldest young lady and the eldest lady, Princess Mu and the two young masters, Mrs. Yan Commander. Have"
Before the guard finished speaking, Tan Anjun rushed out of the tent like a gust of wind.
"Hey"
General Qin was anxious, and wanted to discuss a countermeasure, but seeing Tan Anjun rushing out of the camp, holding an Erkang hand, he had no time to say anything, and he was gone.
What a fart to discuss!
Immediately, he slapped the table and yelled at Commander Yan and Qin Baoshun who were still in a daze: "You're using this as a wooden stake, hurry up and call your men to rescue!"
The two of them did not dare to make a sound after being trained, they bowed their heads in response, turned around, grabbed their respective weapons and rushed out of the camp.
The remaining generals in the main account of the Chinese army looked at each other, and finally looked at General Qin.
"General."
General Qin waved his hand, knowing what they wanted to say, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't leave the barracks at this time.
He sat down, asked everyone to sit down, and said to the Qi mansion guards: "Tell us about the situation on the mountain in detail, what's going on?"
These old women are fine, drinking tea at home, isn’t it nice to embroider and embroider? Why do you have to make a fuss to hunt?
However, on another thought, if these old ladies hadn't gone up the mountain, they wouldn't have been able to find the enemy's tracks in time.
The guards of the Qi Mansion gave a detailed report on the situation on the mountain at that time, pouring out everything they knew.
When the guards left, General Qin looked at everyone and said: "Since there are ambushes coming up from the mountains on both sides, the barbarians must have made a big move. We must not relax our defense here. Let the patrols everywhere be full of energy and always pay attention to the enemy's movements." If there is any movement, all the scouts will move for me, and the defenses everywhere will be strengthened."
Leaving aside General Qin’s strengthening of defenses, Tan Anjun rushed out of the camp, summoned his personal guards and two centurions under his command, and asked them to lead the team to follow him.
After leaving the barracks, he slowly calmed down, thinking that Yang Lan'er has space, even if she encounters an unmanageable danger, she can take the children to hide in the space, the enemy can't threaten their lives for a while, but her relatives The guards are hanging.
On the way, I met Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Qin Shao who had escaped from the mountain in embarrassment, and learned about the situation on the mountain from their mouths.
Tan Anjun pinched the horse's belly again, and passed them like an arrow from the string, leading the soldiers away.
"Concubine Mu is very attractive to King Mu." Madam Yan withdrew her envious gaze, and sighed quietly: "The same journey encountered the same accident, and the one from my family has not been seen until now. There is a gap between the same women. Why is it so big?"
Mrs. Qin Shao sympathetically took Madam Yan's hand and pulled her into the carriage: "Same people have different fates. Don't be envious. Go back."
She has no time or mood to envy others now. Thinking about the danger just now, she still has lingering fears. At this moment, she just wanted to return to the mansion in the city quickly, only in this way can people feel at ease.
Tan Anjun led people to destroy the enemy squad on the mountain side, while searching along the trail left by Yang Lan'er and the others, and finally found the cave and disappeared.
Yang Lan'er is struggling to survive.
After the last bit of dry food was exhausted, Yang Lan'er smuggled some dry food from the space to share with everyone, and barely lasted another day and night.
Finally, the water in the water bag was drunk, and Yang Lan'er gave the water bag that she 'saved' to everyone, and the group finally managed to climb out of the long and endless corridor.
When everyone climbed out of the tunnel and was stimulated by the strong sunlight, their eyes turned black, and everyone burst into tears.
Yang Lan'er hurriedly asked everyone to close their eyes: "Close them and don't open them, everyone quickly find a veil to cover your eyes."
After finishing speaking, she first found two dark cloth belts from the space to cover the eyes of the two children, and then covered her own eyes.
Liu Chunlai wiped away his tears, tried his best to close his eyes, and hummed: "Ma'am, we men don't have the habit of wearing handkerchiefs."
Yang Lan'er said: "Then cover it with your own belts."
Liu Chunlai slammed, his cheeks became hot, and even his earlobes turned red. This, this, this
He took off his robe and covered his head, and he was determined not to untie his belt!
The other guards opened their eyes slightly, seeing that the captain's operation was imitating, all of them covered their heads with their robes.
Taking advantage of the adaptation stage of the eyes, Yang Lan'er asked: "How long did we stay in the cave?"
Liu Chunlai considered it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Three days? Or four days?"
Fortunately, the master was able to save food this time, otherwise they would all starve to death in that cave.
