The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 346 346. Casualties

 “Be careful, drinking too much can kill you, so slow down.”

 Liu Dayi usually listened to Uncle Qi the most, so he would not disobey him no matter how thirsty or tired he was.

 He took the kettle and drank some water slowly, and then his whole body calmed down.

The others were not idle either, and continued to expand and strengthen the hole. After it was slowly enough to accommodate three or four people entering and exiting at the same time, they hurried in to rescue people.

The space inside is quite large, and it looks tightly sealed from the outside, but several cracks have been blown inside, so the air is not completely blocked.

He was lying in a large area. He was usually a strong man, but now he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Feng Jinhua stepped forward and sniffed at a few people. Fortunately, although it was weak, there was at least a chance of being saved.

 So the people were sent outside on stretchers one by one.

 After struggling for a long time, after confirming that all seventy-six people here were saved, Feng Jinhua and Qi Bo turned around and left.

 Out of this dark hole, the light outside is really fascinating.

Hua Shi directed everyone to send those who were breathing for treatment quickly. Some of the hard-hearted ones woke up not long after they came out of the cave.

 Seeing everyone struggling to save people, I was very excited.

 It’s just that he is weak and can’t speak much.

However, there were some who were in poor health, and their bodies were already cold when they were carried out, so Hua had them covered with white cloths and sent them away together to wait for a grand burial.

In this way, when Feng Jinhua and Uncle Qi came out, Hua was relieved.

She would be lying if she said she wasn't worried, but her son's entry would boost military morale, so she wouldn't deliberately stop him.

 “Mother, what’s wrong?”

“The situation is not too bad, but three people did not make it through, and the rest were sent for treatment.”

Three people don’t sound like a terrible number, but there are three families involved behind the scenes. Some of them may be older, some may be younger. Now that the people are gone, more than half of their families will collapse.

Feng Jinhua roared with red eyes.

 “I want that man to pay with his life!”

“Okay, the first priority is to rescue everyone, and we’ll talk about the rest later!”

Hua Shi interrupted him promptly. She needed to arrange many things, so it was not easy to alert him at the moment.

A few people were talking when they saw Xiao Muqian walking up with his head held high.

“The entrance to the cave over there is also interesting.”

Everyone was happy and trotted over.

The cave entrance here extends downward, so it is more difficult to dig. Fortunately, the Feng family prepared the sinking mine more properly and carefully, so you can see a safe corner every time you advance a certain distance.

More than 30 people have been rescued one after another. Except for their mental health, they are not seriously injured.

 After all, there is plenty of water and food in the safe corner, so it’s no problem to stay there for ten days and a half.

 Much better than the ones we just rescued.

Qibo asked the man who was resting nearby, who had just been rescued from the mine not long ago.

 “How is the situation inside?”

“The brothers on the upper floors are fine, but it’s hard to say about the ones on the lower floors.”

　　　Although Uncle Qi was prepared, he still felt extremely guilty.

Why couldn't he have found out the traitor earlier, or if he had paid more attention when managing the explosives, he wouldn't have suffered the disaster today.

He just hopes that there will be very few casualties among his brothers, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by guilt. After gaining experience in rescue, the soldiers who took action became faster and faster, and dozens more people were pulled out in a hurry, which was similar to the previous situation.

 They are all in poor mental health, but their physical damage is not serious.

Only one person died suddenly. I don’t know whether it was because he was too excited to be saved or for some other reason. Everyone felt very sorry.

We traveled day and night, and it was not until dawn on the third day that everyone was pulled out of the mine.

 Seven people died and sixteen were injured. Some of the others were hungry and gradually recovered after eating something.

After this chaos, the Feng family's mine has been greatly damaged.

 It’s not a matter of casualties, but rather a matter of everyone’s mental state.

 In the past, everyone thought it was a common thing to go down into the mines, but now everyone feels uncomfortable. If they want to go back in the future, it will be even more difficult.

 This is why the Feng family has always had strict requirements on mine safety.

 A matter of life and death, just once, is enough to break the hearts of people.

 Fortunately, the Feng family does not rely entirely on the mining industry for their livelihood, especially after Hua married in, and Fengshan and the other two took care of other family properties in an orderly manner.

 Hence, Hua had already thought about the future direction of the mine before he came.

The warm sun on the horizon has coated the mine with a layer of warm gold. Only now that it shines on everyone can feel the slightest warmth.

 Most of the houses were destroyed and no one could live in them.

 So everyone was resting in the temporary tent.

At this moment, Hua Shi quietly left with others, heading towards the ruined house.

When he walked to the house that Fengshan had been to before, he saw that the people who followed him avoided looking at him, and for some reason they took a few steps and disappeared.

 After a while, when the person came out again, he had a bulging package in his hand, which looked very important.

 And Fuzi Du, who had been waiting in the dark for a long time, was already impatient.

They were lurking here and blasting mines, and they also faked signs that the house had been rummaged through, just to let the Feng family come find it in person, so that he could get the account books by just robbing them.

 “Do it!”

With a cry of urgency, several men in black stepped forward to grab it, pointing their swords at Hua.

 The package in her arms is bound to be obtained!

Hua was shocked and held on to the package and refused to let go. How could the man in black bear it? He planned to kill her and steal the package.

The sword edge came to Hua's eyes, and blood was about to splash on the spot. Suddenly Xiao Muqian jumped out from somewhere and blocked the man's sword energy. Not only that, he cut off his sword-wielding hand with his backhand. .

With a wailing sound, several others were also stabbed by Xiao Muqian. Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, they all gritted their teeth and committed suicide. Only the person with the severed hand did not have time, and his jaw was broken. Holding his bleeding right hand, he It kept rolling on the ground.

  Master Du in the dark was shocked, how could a situation that was obviously a sure win be like this!

 He rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and tried to slip away, but ended up getting stuck. The person behind him was none other than Xiao Muqian's lieutenant.

 Master Du, who could not move after tapping his acupoints, was carried in front of Xiao Muqian. Hua Shi and Feng Jinhua had never seen this person before, but Xiao Muqian was very familiar with him.

 “Master Du, you’re fine.”

Du Fuzi is now unable to speak or move his hands. Even if he wanted to give a reaction, he couldn't do anything.

So Hua stepped forward and asked, "Major General, is he from the Ninth Prince?"
