The closer you get to the mine, the tighter the guards become.
The guards of the mine did not show any panic or relaxation due to the earthquake collapse.
At the foot of the mountain peak that goes straight up and down, there is a cave entrance that can accommodate two carriages passing side by side. The cave entrance is dark and bottomless, and in the dark night, it is like a huge beast's mouth, which can swallow people up in an instant.
In the open space in front of the mine, there are bodies that are constantly shuttling back and forth.
Yu An'an's eyes were wandering uneasily among the crowd, until she saw a tall body covered in blood, she suddenly clenched the handkerchief tightly. The already pale face became more and more bloodless.
Lin Chu understood that the only person who could make Yu An'an lose his composure was Wen Ruojin.
She only met him once, but she had a good impression of him. This was because Wen Ruojin only had Yu An'an in her eyes and had never been looked at by anyone else.
Wen Ruojin seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, her eyes suddenly filled with starlight, giving off a soft and brilliant halo.
He grinned at Zheng Anan from a distance. Between his lips opening and closing, he spoke clearly but silently: "I'm fine."
Yu Anan paused with her fingers, her lip lines loosened a bit, and a smile appeared in her eyes that even she was unaware of.
Yu Anan quickly ran toward the mine, but the guard blocked her way. The guard raised his hand and pointed to the grass, indicating that she would go to the grass to rescue the wounded like other women.
Yu Anan's eyes narrowed, and she held the handkerchief and said weakly: "Yes... Doctor Shen asked me to help."
The guard glanced at the dark mine behind him, with a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
Lin Chu stepped forward and stood behind Yu An'an: "It's Imperial Physician Shen who specifically asked us to help. Time is tight and you can't afford to delay."
Her voice was so light that it was blown away by the mountain wind as soon as it came out. But it fell on the guard's ears as if it were extremely heavy, giving him a suffocating feeling as heavy as a strangulation in his throat.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Churong's expression was light and cold.
"Let them in."
Doctor Shen noticed the conflict here and waved his hand to the guard from a distance.
The guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief and allowed Lin Chu and Yu An'an to pass. It wasn't until they couldn't see their figures that they quietly raised their hands to wipe their sweat.
That cold-looking woman was so terrifying! If Doctor Shen hadn't come to the rescue, he felt that he might not live to see the sun tomorrow.
Lin Chu's eyes were completely attracted by the cinnabar mine. The stone walls around the cave were smooth and slightly moist.
"Do you dare to follow me down?" Dr. Shen walked up to the two of them and spoke in a warm voice.
Lin Chu lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you very much."
Her status in Wuxiangdu was quite embarrassing, and it was inconvenient to look around blatantly. Entering the cave with Dr. Shen to rescue her was an excellent opportunity. No one would doubt her motive for entering the cave.
Dr. Shen didn't need assistants originally, but he suddenly took them with him because he saw her thoughts and did it specially.
She remembered this sentiment.
On the stone wall of the mine, a torch was inserted every ten steps, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day. Lin Chu took two torches off the stone wall and gave one of them to Imperial Physician Shen.
"This is……?"
The corners of Lin Chu's lips curled up slightly: "The distance between the torches is getting wider and wider, and there may not be enough light if you go further down. It's more convenient to hold it by yourself."
Her eyes were deep and dark, with a faint cold light flashing through her eyes.
All mines in the world extend underground, and even under normal circumstances, the air becomes thinner as you go deeper.
After the mine collapses, the situation will be even worse.
If the road is blocked for a long time, the air suitable for survival in the mine will gradually disappear over time.
People cannot detect in advance whether there is a lack of air ahead, which highlights the advantage of torches.
In places lacking air, torches will burn out quickly.
Therefore, people who go deep into the underground and mountains usually do not ask the torch to leave. She has no intention of explaining these things to Doctor Shen.
So far, she can't tell whether Dr. Shen cares about her...how much is sincere and how much is calculated?
