The gap between the wood was too small. Wei Ting and Xiao Zhonghua’s figures were not suitable, and neither was Su Xiaoxiao.
There were a few thin officials in the Ministry of Works, but they had long exhausted their stamina. It was impossible for them to support that thick wooden board.
“I’ll go down.” Jing Yi stepped forward without hesitation.
He was 17 years old this year. The young man was thinner than an adult man.
In order to minimize the friction and collision between the wooden boards, Jing Yi took off his robe and underwear. He was only wearing a pair of long pants.
His ears were slightly red and he didn’t dare to look at Su Xiaoxiao.
Wei Ting took a rope and handed him the other end.
“I’ll hold on. You go down.”
Jing Yi nodded and didn’t refuse Wei Ting.
As no log here could withstand the force, and the ground could not withstand the vibration of his iumD. he could onlv lower himself bit bv bit through the
rope.
It was pitch-black below.
He followed Su Ergou’s breathing and found his location.
Su Ergou was bleeding. Jing Yi could smell the strong smell of blood. He reached out and touched the sticky blood.
His movements became even more careful.
He found a suitable place to stay.
Next, he only needed to lift the wooden board and put the rope on it. Then, Su Ergou would be saved.
The wooden plank was much heavier than everyone had imagined. The reason was that the bottom was made of iron nails and iron plates, and it was impossible to see from above.
At this time, Jing Yi was also glad that he had come down. If it were those people from the Ministry of Works, even if they didn’t use up all their strength, they wouldn’t be able to move it at all.
Su Xiaoxiao knelt on the side and looked down. “Jing Yi, be careful of Ergou’s windpipe. He is at his limit.”
“Okay.”
Jing Yi used one hand to push the port of the wooden board to stop it from pressing down on Su Ergou’s chin. His other hand slowly lifted the wooden board.
Finally, the weight on Su Ergou’s chest disappeared.
He got a long-lost breath.
“Jing Yi, how is it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Jing Yi answered, “The wooden board is up. Ergou seems to be bleeding. We have to go up as soon as possible.”
Wei Ting said, “Put the rope on the wooden board.”
Jing Yi nodded even though the people above could not see it at all.
The space below was very narrow, and he could not press down on Su Ergou. His movements were limited, so the requirement for strength was greater.
Fortunately, his strength and martial arts were good. He successfully tied the rope that had been circled to the wooden board.
“That’ll do!” he said to Wei Ting.
Wei Ting tightened his grip on the rope.
The most dangerous wooden board was fixed, and the wooden board and bamboo pole could be moved away.
The people from the Ministry of Works continued to move the items.
Su Xiaoxiao found a rope and prepared to go down.
She wanted to see if Su Ergou had any fractures or other injuries that could not be moved at will. Then, she would decide which method to use to get Su Ergou up.
Wei Ting frowned and said, “This doesn’t look like an ordinary foundation. An ordinary foundation isn’t so deep. Be careful.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
She wrapped the rope tightly around her waist and asked for an oil lamp from the Ministry of Works.
Wei Ting had already grabbed a rope in his hand. No one in the Ministry of Works could free up their hands. They could not count on that weak Young Master Zhang.
“Give it to me.” Xiao Zhonghua walked over and extended his hand. Su Xiaoxiao handed him the other end of the rope.
“Fu su.”
Wei Ting ordered.
The secret guard flashed out.
Xiao Zhonghua’s lips twitched.
The secret guard grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s rope and put her down bit by bit.
He approached Wei Ting and whispered, “Young Master, is it really good to expose me like this?”
Wei Ting said indifferently, “Grab your rope.”
The secret guard replied, “Oh.”
Young Master was really not giving Xiao Zhonghua any chance to perform.
Su Xiaoxiao crawled through the gaps between the wood again and again. She was extremely glad that she had lost weight. If she was still that 200 -pound fatty, she would probably not be able to crawl out no matter what.
“Be careful.’
When she landed, Jing Yi helped her up.
Although the wooden board was suspended, for the sake of caution, Jing Yi still used one hand to support the wooden board.
“I’m fine,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Behind Jing Yi was a long groove. He took a step back.
Su Xiaoxiao knelt down in front of Su Ergou and placed the oil lamp on the side.
She touched Su Ergou’s forehead. “Ergou, can you hear me?”
Su Ergou responded weakly.
Su Xiaoxiao gently touched his throat again. His throat had been pulled for too long, and he could suffer from a throat spasm.
After being pushed against the wooden board for so long, his chin was broken and swollen.
Because he couldn’t swallow for a long time, he drooled a lot.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped him clean.
The back of his head was injured. Su Xiaoxiao tore off the sleeve of her undershirt and bandaged it for him before going back to stitch it up.
In addition, because his chest had been pressed for too long, there were large contusions even though there were no fractures.
There were also several cuts on his legs.
He had maintained this posture for too long, and his body was stiff. When he recovered a little, he could hang him up with a rope.
Su Ergou looked at his sister weakly, his eyes turning red.
Su Xiaoxiao held his hand and caressed his forehead. “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Su Ergou continued to look at her.
Su Xiaoxiao understood. “Brother-in-law is here too.”
Su Ergou’s forehead moved slightly as he pressed against his sister’s palm, like a child waiting for salvation.
Jing Yi looked at the siblings without saying a word.
Most of the wood had been removed.
Next was the heaviest and thickest wooden plank that Jing Yi was holding.
Wei Ting began to pull the wooden plank. Su Xiaoxiao untied the rope around her waist, took off her robe, wrapped it around the rope, and tied it to Su Ergou.
Everything was going smoothly, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
A group of masked men in black holding swords suddenly appeared around them. Without a word, they slashed at everyone present.
The first to bear the brunt was a low-ranking official from the Ministry of Works. He had just worked with his colleagues to pull up a broken beam. His shoulder was injured, causing him to slip out of his grip.
THUD!
The beam slammed into the wooden board hanging over Su Ergou’s body!
Su Xiaoxiao rushed over and used her body to protect Su Ergou.
The wooden board did not fall.
Wei Ting grabbed it tightly!
Swish! Swish!
Two arrows flew through the air and aimed at Wei Ting’s heart and the rope in his hand.
Wei Ting stomped his foot, and a piece of wood flew into his hand.
With a twist of his fingertip, the wooden piece split into two. He waved his hand and shot the wooden piece out. Two arrows were hit and deviated from their direction.
Fu Su, who was at the side, was also ambushed by the arrows. He had no choice but to put Su Ergou down first.
Su MO said to Wei Ting, “There are archers in the forest. I’ll deal with them! ”
Su Qi said, “Big Brother! I’ll go with you!”
Jing Yi looked up and said, “Wei Ting, I can take it. Let go!”
Wei Ting took a deep look at Jing Yi in the pit and released the rope.
Bai Ze and Hong Luan appeared.
“Young Marquis!”
Blood oozed out of Jing Yi’s shoulder from the wooden board. He said to the two of them, “Don’t worry about me! Protect Cousin!”
This was a difficult battle. The other party had a large number of people, and all of them were well-trained. It was obvious that they were not ordinary rassassins.
If it was just Wei Ting and a few experts, it would not be difficult to break out of the encirclement. However, there were so many people from the Ministry of Works present, and none of them knew martial arts.
Someone approached the foundation, grabbed a rock, and smashed it down.
The wooden board was hit hard, and Jing Yi felt a sharp pain in his chest. A fishy taste rose in his throat.
He steadied himself and didn’t move.
That person smashed a few more rocks and was about to throw a torch down when he was kicked away by Wei Ting!
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong.
The floor beneath her feet… was cracking!
The angle of the wooden plank was rather tricky. One end was pressed against a wooden stake beside Qin Yun, while the other end was placed against Jing Yi’s neck.
The place where Jing Yi was standing happened to be an upright groove.
The wooden plank could not be moved from left to right. It could only move up and down. It was impossible to move up because there was still a lot of wood that had not been moved.
Su Ergou and Su Xiaoxiao were right below.
The cracks on the floor became more and more severe. Except for the small area where Jing Yi was standing, it was difficult for more people to be in the same place.
No one knew what dangers lay below…
Jing Yi made a prompt decision. “You and Ergou come up to the wooden plank!”
“No way!”
The wooden plank was already very heavy. With her and Su Ergou, not to mention whether Jing Yi could withstand it or not, if he was not careful, Jing Yi’s feet would crack.
Jing Yi said seriously, “If the two of you fall down, I will also call. My internal strength is very good. I can withstand it. You two come up!”
Crack!
The hole cracked under Su Ergou’s body, and the ground collapsed with a bang.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed Su Ergou and grabbed the wooden plank with her other hand.
