It was almost dark when Lu Zheng and Gu Xin finally heard the sound from above.
“Young master Zhou, third miss Gu? Are you guys down there?”
The voice was a little light, and it felt like it was still very far above their heads. It was not ng ng or Gu Hui. The two of them analyzed that they were probably injured.
“We’re below!” Lu Zheng stood up and replied.
After a while, another voice was heard, ” “Young master Zhou, third miss Gu, are you two down there?”
Lu Zheng continued to reply.
That person appeared when the sky turned dark.
“Phew! Young master Zhou, third miss Gu, I’m a servant of the Xie family. I’m sending our second young master to kun city and happened to pass by here. I t young miss Gu and brother ng! Co, there’s so dry food and water here. You guys eat first.” The people who ca down were the guards who escorted Xie Nanfeng. They were quite skilled.
Lu Zheng drank so water and ate so pancakes before passing it to Gu Xin.
He asked about the situation above.
The four bundles of rope were tied into one, but ng ng had made a long one with vines. After he gave a signal, ng ng would throw the rope in this direction.
Lu Zheng wanted Gu Xin to go up first, but she had injured her palm when she went down the hole. If she were to climb up now, it would only worsen her injury.
In the end, Lu Zheng decided to carry Gu Xin on his back. They also had a rope. Although it wasn’t that long, it was still easy to secure Gu Xin to him.
After the guard gave the signal, about a quarter of an hour later, the rope made of vines was thrown down. A stone the size of a human head was tied to it.
Lu Zheng grabbed it, lifted it up and untied it. He pulled it and found it to be very strong.
This was indeed ng ng’s handiwork. He rembered that in a battle in his previous life, they were also trapped in a Valley. ng ng had also woven this vine. It was strong and firm, completely able to support two people.
Lu Zheng carried Gu Xin on his back. Xinxin, don’t be afraid later. Don’t move around. Also, if the vine breaks, the rope on your body is also tied to that rope. You definitely won’t fall.
Gu Xin nodded, ” yes, I know. This is called double insurance. Don’t worry, brother Yuanyuan, I won’t move.”
Then, the three of them started to climb up together.
As Lu Zheng was carrying Gu Xin on his back, his speed was slower than the Xie family’s guards. However, every step he took was steady and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. It would be bad if Xinxin were to be knocked.
Gu Xin, who was on Lu Zheng’s back, suddenly recalled the ti when she t the big cat last year. She was so frightened by the big cat that she had a dream that night.
With soone carrying her up the stairs, step by step, the endless stairs, she felt particularly safe in her dream.
And now, she felt very safe on brother Yuan Yuan’s back!
Even though the night wind was so cold and strong, she didn’t feel cold at all. From ti to ti, she would raise her hand to wipe the sweat from brother Yuanyuan’s forehead. She couldn’t see clearly, but she knew that brother Yuanyuan must be sweating.
They climbed and climbed like this for almost two hours before the three of them reached the top.
ng ng and the other guard pulled the vines, while Xie Nanfeng and the coachman pulled the rope.
Finally, he ca up.
Lu Zheng untied the vines around his body. After he was done, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Xin standing in front of him, completely unhard.
Gu Hui stood up and walked to Gu Xin’s side. She wiped away her tears and heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God she was fine. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how to explain it to Gu Xin.
