Chapter 342: Yanyan…

Tears welled up in Wu Yue’s eyes as he pleaded, “Young Master, please talk to me. Don’t ignore me!”
“In the cellar, oxygen is limited, and we don’t know when they will find us. We need to conserve oxygen, stay calm. I won’t die.”
Qin Lu’s tone was steady, low, and had a convincing charm.
“I understand, Young Master.” Wu Yue wiped away his tears, trying not to appear so weak.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but pray for Qin Yi to arrive quickly.
He knew that the Young Master’s injuries were definitely not light. Without timely treatment, even if he could save his life, an infection in his leg from the bacteria could be uncontrollable!
He would rather have been the one hit back then; he didn’t want the Young Master to get hurt!
However, things had already happened, and regret was futile.
After a while, Wu Yue spoke again, “Young Master, are you cold? Shall we open a bottle of wine to warm up?”
In a low-temperature environment, the longer they stayed, the lower their body temperature would drop, and they would feel colder.
If the temperature dropped to the point of normal body temperature, they would suffer from hypothermia and could fall into a coma.
That would be even more dangerous!
Drinking strong liquor could raise their body temperature and also act as an antiseptic.
“If you want to drink, go ahead,” Qin Lu said, suppressing the dizziness in his mind, trying to stay alert.
To slow down blood loss, he held onto his leg. Now, he couldn’t even feel his leg; it was completely numb.
He didn’t know if he could save this leg.
Qin Lu couldn’t help but wonder, if he became disabled, would Yanyan still want him?
He chuckled.
The little girl wasn’t that heartless, and with her high medical skills, even if he became disabled, she would surely be able to heal him…
Suddenly, there was a sound from above.
Someone was up there!
Wu Yue had just opened a bottle of wine and, hearing the continuous commotion, excitedly said, “Young Master, it’s Qin Yi and the others! They’ve found us!”
Qin Lu whispered, “Yes, just wait patiently. We’ll be rescued soon.”
But Wu Yue couldn’t stay calm.
He ran towards the entrance, shouting loudly to alert those outside that they were here.
However, the cellar was sealed, and the sound echoed inside, making it seem loud but unable to reach the outside.
After shouting several times, he grew tired and had no choice but to sullenly keep quiet, returning to his original spot to sit.
Above, they couldn’t hear any sounds, but the life detector had already detected signs of life underground.
Qin Yi couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems that the Young Master should be down here!”
So he urged the excavators to speed up.
Nan Yan directly instructed the others to come over here and help with the
digging.
With everyone joining in, the excavation speed increased significantly.
After about an hour, they managed to uncover the cellar’s door.
The rain had also gradually subsided, turning into a drizzle that could stop at any moment.
However, a large stone slab blocked the entrance, and they had to move it aside to open the door.
“Miss Nan, could you step aside a bit? We need to remove the stone slab first!”
Knowing that there was a good chance Qin Lu was still alive, Qin Yi and the others were energized, practically on fire with determination.
Over thirty people worked together to lift the enormous stone slab and desperately move it aside.
Underneath, the entrance to the cellar was finally revealed.
Nan Yan noticed bloodstains on the ground.
Was Qin Lu injured?
How severe was the injury?
“Open the door!”
Nan Yan’s voice was hoarse from standing in the rain for so long.
She was incredibly anxious.
Without her urging, Qin Yi and the others removed the stone slab, and Shen Junqing and Bai Chen jumped in to open the door.
Once the door was open, the sounds from inside finally reached them.
“Qin Yi, hurry! The Young Master is injured!”
Wu Yue’s words made Nan Yan’s heart suddenly freeze.
She quickly ran inside.
“Yanyan, take it slow; it’s very dark inside!”
Seeing that his reminder was in vain, Shen Junqing anxiously followed her.
Bai Chen stared at Nan Yan’s retreating figure, his expression growing increasingly complex.
There weren’t many people who could make Little Yanyan so nervous and caring.
So, Little Yanyan has shown genuine emotions…
The door outside was broken open, and light entered the cellar.
Qin Lu heard Shen Junqing’s voice, but it took him a moment to react.
Yanyan?
Is she here?
He quickly raised his head, and a slender figure entered his sight.
Nan Yan was completely soaked, even her long hair dripping with water, her face pale, and an anxious expression. Everything was exactly as he saw it.
“Yanyan… ”
Qin Lu’s voice was dry and tinged with a hint of helplessness. “Didn’t I tell you not to come…”
To be honest, he didn’t want Nan Yan to see him in such a miserable state.
It tarnished the perfect image of him in her eyes.
But he couldn’t deny that the moment he saw her running towards him, his heart was filled with sweetness, as if suddenly flooded with honey.
It was heartwarming.
Nan Yan squatted down in front of him, first looking at his leg. “You lied first.” Clearly, the situation was so dangerous, and he had confidently told her he was safe.
He could just leave if he wanted to, simple as that; no one could stop him.
Now, doesn’t this situation contradict his words?
From her words, Qin Lu sensed the message she wanted to convey.
Suddenly, he felt a bit awkward.
Yeah.
It was quite a contradiction.
But in front of his little friend, he could afford to be contradictory.
In order to chase after his little friend, he was willing to throw away his pride, so why worry about a little contradiction?
While Nan Yan was examining his injuries, he was looking at her.
The little one was all wet. How did Shen Junqing and Bai Chen take care of her?
He still had the mood to blame Shen Junqing and Bai Chen.
After checking his injuries, Nan Yan looked up at him and said, word by word,
“You should be grateful that I came.”
“If I hadn’t come, you’d be waiting for an amputation!”
Qin Lu couldn’t resist and reached out to pinch her cheek. “Is it really that serious?”
Nan Yan angrily swatted his hand away. “Qin Lu!”
She had just mentioned amputation, and he was still acting playful and carefree!
“Little one, don’t be mad. Can big brother apologize?”
“You just shut up!”
Nan Yan was genuinely upset.
She turned to Shen Junqing and Bai Chen and said, “You guys carry him up first, be careful, and don’t touch his leg.”
Shen Junqing:
Bai Chen: ‘
So, the two of them hurried over, and as if being bombarded with displays of affection wasn’t enough, they had to become laborers too?
They had no choice.
Following Nan Yan’s orders, the two of them reluctantly approached and carefully lifted Qin Lu, taking him up first.
Qin Yi and Wu Yue could only watch, not daring to approach without Miss Nan’s instructions.
Once on the ground, Nan Yan briefly attended to Qin Lu’s injuries before immediately heading to the hospital.
Qin Lu’s leg required surgery!
The hospital arrangements were made by Bai Chen.
The local hospital originally didn’t admit non-local patients.
With a single word from Bai Chen, the hospital director personally came to welcome them and arranged the best operating room for Nan Yan to perform surgery on Qin Lu.
Before the surgery, Qin Lu lay on the operating table and asked casually,
“Yanyan, will big brother’s leg be crippled?”
Nan Yan had a serious expression. “Now you’re finally concerned about whether you’ll be crippled?”
