Chapter 55: Be Soft Subconsciously

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

A hot breath coming along his fingers made Si Yuhan’s tensed body relax in an instant. The pain was even worse than sleeping in the same position overnight.

“Wake up.” His voice was hoarse.

“Ke Ruan, wake up…” Si Yuhan took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breathing so as to not sound too hoarse.

He held his neck and picked him up crassly but gently, patting his face, “Wake up, wake up…”

Ke Ruan heard some noise, as if someone was cursing in his ears with fear and nervousness.

“If you don’t wake up now, I will chop you into pieces to feed dogs.”

“Do you hear me? Wake up. Or I will… I will kill your parents.”

“And send your sister to a brothel.”

……

Ke Ruan felt his eyelids were heavy, but smiled while hearing these words. If Si Yuhan was that cruel, then he’d better not wake up.

“Don’t you dare.” His tone suddenly became stern with a hint of joy.

Realizing that he had spoken his mind out subconsciously, Ke Ruan tried his best to open his eyes. A worried face with bright eyes loomed up before him. He smiled and said, “Little Han, you care so much about me.”

Si Yuhan let go of him. Stop the daydream.

“Ah!”

Before Ke Ruan could react, his head was heavily slammed into the cave where he was leaning. Fortunately, it was full of mud, so it didn’t hurt much.

Ke Ruan rubbed the back of his head and smiled, “You janus-faced little boy.”

Si Yuhan turned around and thought: what a raving guy.

Feeling his strength was gone, Ke Ruan checked the injury caused by the beasts-trap. Indeed, it was festering. If he couldn’t get treatment within three days, he would probably be crippled.

How unlucky he was!

He tried to figure out the deepth of the cave by looking up to the top and could only see the light outside in a daze. It was so deep.

“Little Han, do you think this hole is used to scheme against me?”

He just wanted to ridicule, but saw a flash of surprise across Si Yuhan’s eyes. This cave was indeed used to trap him. To be more precise, the traps in the hill were all set up to deal with him, which would make him die without being noticed by others.

Ke Ruan frowned, “I think it’s three metres deep. I’m injured now, so I definitely can’t go up. Little Han, do you know any flying skill?”

Si Yuhan paused and shook his head.

Ke Ruan scratched his head. Medical research showed that the limit of a human in a starving state could survive for seven days at most. If one didn’t drink water for three days or eat for seven days, he will be threatened by death.

Therefore, they only had two days to go out. If he died here, General Lin would fail his mission, and he would be dead too.

He looked around on the narrow ground. There was nothing, not even a stone. Damn it. It seemed that he needed to use his hand.

“Little Han, humans can only live for three days without eating or drinking. We are here since yesterday afternoon, so we can still hold on for two and a half days. We need to get out of here within limited time.” Ke Ruan cheered himself up. Then, he tore the hem of his robe into two pieces and wrapped his hands. They couldn’t pin all their hopes on General Lin.

“What are you going to do?”

After a moment of silence, Si Yuhan asked in a low voice.

Ke Ruan sat on the ground and started to bank the earth into a mound, “I’m trying to get out of here. I can make mud staircases, layer by layer. We will finally get out. I’m smart, right?”

Si Yuhan walked to his side in slience. Yes, he was very smart.
