"What if, what if Nangong Xi had died? Such a sweet little boy, if he were dead..."
She dared not think further, nor could she bear to.
They say that the lucky are blessed by heaven, and Nangong Xi was a fortunate baby, so surely nothing would happen to him.
But why was Nangong Xi, lying in her arms, not moving at all...
Upon hearing her choked voice, Qin Sijue’s heart clenched tightly, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Don’t be afraid, you’ll see me soon."
After speaking, he gave an order to start clearing the debris above them.
The rubble consisted of fragments and broken steel bars as well as crushed slabs of stone; a slight misstep could directly trap Gu Qiangwei and Nangong Xi, who were buried in a cramped space.
During the clearing process, Qin Sijue and Li Yuan personally took part, being extremely cautious.
But when they tried to lift a slab of stone, they found it seemed quite large; forcibly removing it might have the opposite effect, causing the entire pile of rubble to collapse directly!
"Sijue, what should we do?"
Li Yuan looked up, his eyes filled with anxiety as he gazed at Qin Sijue.
Qin Sijue’s dark eyes were fixed on the rubble, where a narrow space had been cleared, but Gu Qiangwei’s figure was still not in sight.
"I’ll go down and support it, you guys continue from the outside."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan’s eyes widened, "That won’t do, if it collapses it could be lethal!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Qin Sijue utterly ignored his persuasion; more than his own life, he was worried about Gu Qiangwei, who was trapped under the rubble!
Li Yuan was stunned, watching as his lean, upright figure moved towards the excavated entrance.
He never knew that the seemingly cold and tough man had a blazing heart inside him, and it belonged solely to Gu Qiangwei, boiling only for her.
Knowing he couldn’t persuade him, Li Yuan didn’t waste more words, watching him enter the small entrance.
Huo Yishan was somewhat worried on the side; earlier when they started clearing, it had already collapsed once. Knowing that the inside where Qin Sijue entered was completely suspended, if it collapsed, he could be completely buried!
"You, if you feel something is wrong, just shout for us to stop!"
Bending down, Li Yuan shouted toward Qin Sijue inside the narrow entrance.
After Qin Sijue was ready, everyone together moved the larger stone slab, because without removing it, it was even harder to reach deeper down to rescue Gu Qiangwei and Nangong Xi.
The moment the large stone slab was moved, the ruins indeed began to collapse suddenly, startling Huo Yishan into a scream.
"Sijue, are you alright!?"
Faintly hearing a muffled groan from inside, Li Yuan couldn’t help but speak out in concern.
After a while, Qin Sijue’s voice came from beneath the large stone slab, "I’m fine, continue."
Pausing for a few seconds, although worried, Li Yuan had no choice but to keep moving the stone slab.
He was well aware, without moving the stone slab, they couldn’t rescue Qiangwei!
Fortunately, the subsequent movement went smoothly.
"Sijue, your hand..."
Only after they had moved the large stone slab and saw Qin Sijue did Li Yuan suddenly notice his arm was bloody and dripping.
"I’m fine, let’s keep going!"
The pain in his arm was trivial to him, Qin Sijue paid it no mind.
Li Yuan was aware, for someone who had undergone hellish training like him, this kind of injury really was nothing, but it looked truly horrifying.
