In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1234 Can her body take it?

After giving his instructions, Yang Qianxun headed towards the cave. From a distance, he saw Su Yueyao standing at the cave entrance, looking in his direction. He quickly walked over.

"Ayao, you..." Yang Qianxun pulled the cloak around Su Yueyao's neck, wanting to say something but she couldn't utter a word.

"Qianqian, is there any news about Xingchen and the others? Is there any news?" Su Yueyao grabbed Yang Qianxun's hand and asked excitedly.

"Ah Yao, some of the collapsed rocks have already been moved. This mine has existed for decades, so we don't know exactly how many parts have collapsed, nor do we know where Xingchen and the others are, so..."

Hearing Yang Qianxun's words, Su Yueyao felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Her face turned pale and she swayed as if about to collapse. Tears streamed down her face in an instant.

Yang Qianxun and Tian Yunsheng looked at Su Yueyao with pity. They didn't know how to comfort her. Xingchen held a very important place in her heart, and Chengyan had accompanied her all the way from Qingzhou Prefecture to confirm her feelings.

Haoxuan is usually playful and mischievous, and he's also the best at making her happy.

Now that this has happened to them, she must be very sad.

"Ayao...don't cry..."

"We must believe that Xingchen and the others will be alright. They will definitely be alright. They won't bear to leave their mistress."

Su Yueyao leaned quietly against Yang Qianxun's chest, repeating herself in a choked voice, almost collapsing.

Yang Qianxun and Su Yueyao silently held each other until Su Yueyao cried herself to sleep and slowly fell asleep in Yang Qianxun's arms.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Meanwhile, in a mine shaft, Cheng Yan, Xing Chen, and Xun Haoxuan were trapped in a small space by fallen rocks.

Of the three, only Xun Haoxuan was injured and spent most of his time lying on the rocks. Cheng Yan and Xing Chen were relatively unharmed. The two of them silently tried to move the rocks blocking their way. At that time, the situation was urgent, and all the miners ran inside. After they were trapped, some sounds could be faintly heard from inside.

"Cheng Yan, thank you for saving me this time. I was tripped by a miner, and if you hadn't come and pulled me up, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured! I might not even have survived," Xun Haoxuan said weakly.

"No need to thank me. I saved you because I was afraid something would happen to you and my wife would be sad and heartbroken," Cheng Yan said, carrying the stone in her hand.

"Cheng Yan, can't you say something nice? The air in the cave is getting thinner and thinner. We might not even be able to get out alive."

"Haoxuan, that's not nice to say. There must be someone outside moving stones to save us. We just need to hold on a little longer," Xingchen said.

"Yes! Once Tianyi sends the news back, his wife will probably go crazy with worry. I'll get up and help you dig too." Xun Haoxuan gasped as soon as he sat up.

"Xun Cejun, you'd better save your energy! You've broken at least two bones in your chest and have internal injuries. If we hadn't brought medicine with us, you probably wouldn't even have the voice to speak right now."

"You shouldn't have come down before the Star Cave entrance collapsed completely. It's better for the two of you to get into trouble than for the three of us to get into trouble together," Cheng Yan said with a melancholy tone.

His wife is still in her postpartum period, and his only worry about what happened between them is that if she finds out, she will insist on coming up the mountain. Will her body be able to handle it?

“Didn’t you just say that your wife would be heartbroken if Haoxuan got into trouble, so you rushed up to save him without regard for your own safety? It’s the same reason I came down to save you.”

"Although I really want to have the wife all to myself, I don't have time to be with her all the time. I can rest assured with you all by her side. I'm someone who lives on the edge of a knife, and I could get into trouble at any time. Even if I'm gone, I can feel at ease with you all protecting her," Xingchen said in a particularly low voice.

“Xingchen, you didn’t have this plan in mind back then, which is why you kept acquiescing to the wife’s marriage. I thought you felt that you didn’t have enough power to protect the wife, so you kept finding a backer for her.” Xun Haoxuan looked at Xingchen with a look of sudden realization and exclaimed.

"No wonder! No wonder!"

They all thought that Xingchen was so capable that he always tacitly allowed his wife to marry a powerful man. They all thought that Xingchen felt that he was not powerful enough, which was why he did this!

It wasn't that; rather, he was afraid that if something happened to him, no one would be protecting his wife.

At this moment, Xun Haoxuan felt that Xingchen was always thinking about his wife, and Lian Chengyan looked at him with a slight change in her eyes.

"If you manage to get out of here alive, you mustn't tell this to your wife!" Xingchen said calmly.

“Why not tell her? Once we get out, I will definitely tell my wife so that she can keep a close eye on you and make you cherish your life more. I want you to stay by my wife’s side forever. I don’t want to see my wife sad and heartbroken because of you.”

Xingchen snorted upon hearing this, but did not refute Xun Haoxuan's words.

“Let’s dig for a while and see if we can get this rock out. This mine has been abandoned. My men have never checked the topography of this mine. Those miners can be considered to have verified it.”

"A topographic map? It seems like before..." Cheng Yan thought to herself upon hearing this.

Do you have any cigarettes?

"Let me think about it carefully. When I asked the Broken Rainbow Alliance to investigate, they discovered this cave. I think I glanced at the topographic map briefly. The topographic map seems to be..." Cheng Yan closed her eyes and began to think about the situation at that time.

He remembered the situation at the time; Chengfeng showed him an old, discarded blueprint.

Cheng Yan closed her eyes, imagining what the blueprint looked like.

Xingchen and Xun Haoxuan remained motionless, staring at him silently, hoping he would remember.

“I remember now. When I was looking at the blueprints, there was a ventilation shaft in front of this location, not far from where the miners ran back. All we need to do now is chisel a hole in the rock blocking our way, and there should be air circulation.”

Xingchen and Xun Haoxuan were initially delighted upon hearing this, but upon seeing the layers upon layers of stones piled up in front of them, they sighed.

They probably can't drill a hole in a short time, right?

The three of them sighed in unison, and then Xun Haoxuan's stomach rumbled.

Cheng Yan and Xing Chen glanced at him, and Xun Haoxuan shrank back, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"I...I'm just a little hungry, I can hold it in!"

Cheng Yan looked at him and silently took out a piece of dry food from her sleeve and handed it to him.

Xun Haoxuan's eyes lit up when he saw it. He broke off a piece and ate it, leaving the rest untouched. As he ate, he said, "Cheng Yan, you actually prepared some dry rations?"

"Yes, I always bring my own food when I go out on errands, it's a habit!"

After saying that, he untied the water pouch at his waist, opened it, and helped Xun Haoxuan take a sip.

"Before I married my wife, I always carried food and water with me when I went out. But since I married her, I've hardly made any special preparations. It seems that once we get out of here alive, I'll have to practice a lot!"

"Staying by the wife's side is too much of a luxury!" Xun Haoxuan said weakly.
