Chapter 691 - 691 Overturn 2
691 Overturn 2
Perhaps it was because of this that he sympathized with her. When they entered the mountains this time, he had figured it out. As for Bai Xu… He really hoped that she could figure it out and live a good life from now on. He also hoped that she would be safe.
At this moment, Bai Xu was pushed down by a big tree. As she was suppressed, she did not have the strength to break free.
The Earth Dragon’s turn caught her off guard. She had felt that the weather had turned cold recently and had already decided to go out.
She left early and took her time along the way.
The night before the earthquake, she was still sitting on a tree and looking at the sunset for a long time.
She calculated that she would be able to go out in another two days.
The commotion was very loud, but she knew that she was considered the periphery. She was very far from the center of the earthquake, but even so, she still could not dodge in time and was trapped.
Even if it was calm now, she couldn’t escape.
Perhaps she was going to die here.
Bai Xu thought so. She was actually very afraid of death, but at this moment, she was very calm.
It seemed that it was not that difficult to accept. Bai Xu’s heart calmed down and she thought of Hu Changshou. She muttered to herself, “I don’t know if you’ll be so lucky this time. I don’t think so. You guys were behind me. In such a critical situation, there will definitely be times when it’s difficult for them to take care of you.”
“I didn’t expect us to be buried in the same place. I’m afraid no one will survive in the center.”
As Bai Xu spoke, she laughed at himself.
Her lower body hurt. She really wanted to get it over with, but every time she raised her hand, she would think of what Hu Changshou had said.
She couldn’t help but wonder what Hu Changshou would do. He probably wouldn’t commit suicide. He would wait until the end.
If he could tolerate it, so could she.
Therefore, even if the pain made her wish she was dead, Bai Xu endured it.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We won’t dare to stop this time.”
Suddenly, a person’s voice sounded. Bai Xu immediately shuddered. Her face was pale. After thinking for a few seconds, she called for help. “Save me, Uncle, Brother. Please save me…”
Even if there was only a slimmer of chance, she did not want to give it up.
Perhaps she might not be saved if she opened her mouth, but if she didn’t, she wouldn’t even have a chance. In such a situation, if she didn’t open her mouth and call for help, those people wouldn’t notice her, let alone stop.
Among the people who were in a hurry, one of them stopped in his tracks and said, “Did you hear anyone shouting for help?”
“Gu, at this time, how can we have the time to care about others? There might still be another earthquake. The most important thing is to get out quickly. If we delay this, it won’t be worth it to die here. There are more than a hundred of us, but only 30 of us survived. We were already very regretful that we didn’t follow the Wisdom King previously. This time, we should go out first. We won’t be at ease if we don’t go out.”
His companion glanced at him and said.
With that, everyone continued walking forward.
Gu Ming frowned. They were right. If they couldn’t escape because they stopped here, it wouldn’t be worth it.
It was not easy for them to escape death. He did not want to put his life on the line.
As they were not far away, Bai Xu could hear their voices.
The footsteps were hurried. Bai Xu knew that there was a high chance that they would not stop, but she still kept calling for help. “Save me, save me, please…”
The sound of footsteps quickly became further and further away. Bai Xu listened to the distant footsteps before giving up on asking for help. She understood that this was her last chance.
These were probably the only people who could escape from the Earth Dragon’s turn.
Gu Ming looked in the direction of the voice and then at his peers who were about to disappear from his sight. He gritted his teeth and headed towards the direction where the voice came from.
“How are you?”
Gu Ming saw Bai Xu and asked.
Bai Xu was stunned for a moment before opening her eyes in surprise. She could not believe it and thanked him in a choked voice. “Thank you, thank you.”
It was a little girl. Gu Ming went to Bai Xu’s side and sighed. “No need to thank me. I might not be able to save you.”
There were two big trees pressing down on Bai Xu. It was very difficult to move them away.
Gu Ming took out his sword and began to dig the ground. He said, “I’ll dig a hole from beside you now. If it’s all soil, it won’t be a problem to save you. If it’s a rock and I can’t dig it open, then there’s nothing I can do.”
If there were many people, it would not be difficult to move the two trees.
It could be done with some time, but he was alone now.
Tears welled up in Bai Xu’s eyes. She nodded. “Okay, thank you, Uncle.”
Gu Ming began to dig with all his might. He only hoped that the ground would not shake.
Bai Xu swallowed and asked softly, “Uncle, can I ask you about someone? His name is Hu Changshou. He can’t move his body. Is he still around?”
“You should be asking about Young Master Su’s relative. He can’t move his body, but with General Chu bringing him away, they have been following the Wisdom King. Before the Earth Dragon turned over, they were already about to leave. If nothing unexpected happens, they have already left safely.”
Gu Ming said as he dug. Then, he glanced at Bai Xu and asked, “Do you know him?”
Bai Xu smiled. “Not close. We’ve met a few times.”
Hu Changshou should still be alive. After all, he was so lucky.
“I see.”
It turned out that they were not familiar with each other. Gu Ming did not think too much about it. Perhaps it was because it was just a thoughtless question for her.
As Gu Ming dug, he looked at the hard soil and heaved a sigh of relief. He had already taken this step. He actually didn’t want to give up on saving people in the end.
Fortunately, this girl was also lucky. The soil was a little hard, but it was not a rock after all.
An hour later, Gu Ming dragged Bai Xu out. He heaved a sigh of relief and said to Bai Xu, “Miss, whether you live or die now depends on your own luck. I can’t delay any longer.”
He did not check on Bai Xu’s condition. The less he knew, the easier it would be for him to let go.
Bai Xu nodded. She took out an excellent piece of jade and handed it to Gu Ming. “Uncle, thank you for saving me. This is for you. Go out and exchange it for some good wine.”
Gu Ming waved his hand. “There’s no need. I didn’t save you for any rewards. Besides, I didn’t save you much. I just moved you out of your trapped state. Goodbye.”
With that, Gu Ming stood up and left.
Bai Xu watched him leave quickly. She opened her mouth but closed it in the end.
From beginning to end, they did not know each other’s names.
The surroundings quickly fell silent.
Bai Xu tried to move her legs. They hurt and she needed to recuperate.
She scrambled with both hands and crawled away from this place with difficulty. No matter what, she would not give up on herself. She wanted to live unless she really breathed her last.
