Chapter 156 Rescue
Wang Cheng opened the lid and called out into the cellar, "Boss~ Sister Li~".
Chu Xiaohuan put his arm around Li Mo'er and let her lean against him.
He slowly opened his eyes as the sunlight streamed in.
The moment he heard Wang Cheng's voice, he wanted to stand up and respond loudly.
But considering Li Mo'er's unconscious state, he simply looked up and shouted, "We're down here."
Wang Cheng was overjoyed and wanted to cheer, but she never expected that her boss and Li Mei had been locked in the cellar for a day and a night.
"Master, I'll go down now."
As he spoke, Wang Cheng was about to go down to pick up Chu Xiaohuan.
Shen Zicen, who arrived late, quickly grabbed Wang Cheng's sleeve when she heard that Wang Cheng was about to leave.
"I'm going down too."
His tone was unusually firm.
Wang Cheng looked Shen Zicen up and down, thinking that he had followed behind them and only arrived now. If he had gone down there, who knew what would have happened.
“Young Master Shen, it’s inconvenient to go downstairs, perhaps…”
Wang Cheng did not directly say that Shen Zicen would be a burden to them, but gave them a tactful piece of advice.
"No! I need to go see Mo'er, she..."
The two men held firm to their own opinions, neither willing to give in. Chu Xiaohuan frowned slightly upon hearing the argument above.
"Throw a rope down."
Although his voice was somewhat weak, his tone left no room for argument.
Hearing Chu Xiaohuan's response from below, Shen Zicen had a bad feeling.
"What does General Chu need the rope for?"
Why isn't Mo'er saying anything?
Shen Zicen nervously tugged at Wang Cheng's sleeve and asked cautiously, fearing he might hear bad news.
Wang Cheng didn't know either, and she just shook her head.
After the others brought the rope, Wang Cheng saw Shen Zicen taking it upon himself to go down, and quickly stopped him.
"Your body is too weak right now, I'm going down."
She had barely finished speaking when she heard Chu Xiaohuan's voice.
"No need, just throw the rope."
Chu Xiaohuan was losing patience; every minute that passed meant Li Mo'er was in greater danger.
Hearing Chu Xiaohuan's slightly angry tone, Wang Cheng quickly threw the rope down.
After being thrown down, Shen Zicen and Wang Cheng peered out from the exit.
However, it was too dark down there, and we couldn't see anything.
Chu Xiaohuan looked at the rope that had been thrown down and gently pressed Li Mo'er's head against the wall.
He slowly walked to the rope, tied himself up tightly, and then secured Li Mo'er to his back.
He was going to carry Li Mo'er out.
He tied the two of them tightly, the ropes almost digging into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
When he wrapped the rope around Li Mo'er, he was extra careful, trying to tie the rope to the part of Li Mo'er with the most clothes.
Chu Xiaohuan was so tight he could hardly breathe, but he still took a deep breath and gripped the rope ladder.
“Squeak, squeak—”
As soon as Chu Xiaohuan stepped onto the rope ladder, the ladder made a sound because of the weight of the two of them.
Moreover, the rope ladder swayed even more violently, and Chu Xiaohuan could only climb one step at a time to stabilize himself.
He would often turn back to look at Li Mo'er and cross her hands back around his neck.
He slowly moved upwards, and Wang Cheng and Shen Zicen could only watch anxiously as he couldn't see him.
When Chu Xiaohuan carried Li Mo'er halfway up the rope ladder, beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered, his hands and feet were already trembling, and his body had reached its limit.
Wang Cheng and Shen Zicen saw Li Mo'er on Chu Xiaohuan's back and wanted to ask her something.
However, they also noticed Chu Xiaohuan's difficulties, and there was nothing they could do to help him.
All I could do was grit my teeth and clench my fists in silence.
When the two of them finally came up, Shen Zicen immediately took off Li Mo'er's clothes, looked at her flushed cheeks, and tenderly stroked them.
"Mo'er, I..."
