Chapter 278 I’m worried about you
The old lady's tone already carried a hint of reproach.
If they hadn't gone with this girl, maybe nothing would have happened. After all, this is modern society, not ancient times. Who can just kill someone whenever they want? It's all this girl's fault!
The old woman's fear had made her completely forget that if they stayed, it would be tantamount to shackle their own son.
The old man remained calm and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
“What I said is true. During this time, the people who have tied us up haven’t really done anything to us.”
"Alright, shut up!" The old man turned to He Suye and asked, "Young lady, what do we do now?"
The despair in He Suye's eyes had faded; she was still alive, so hope had not been lost.
She glanced back and said, "Climb back!"
"Climb back?"
"Yes, I've read about this in a book. These kinds of holes can be interconnected. Let's look for another exit."
The old man hesitated for a moment and asked, "In which book did you see this? What kind of hole is this?"
He Suye thought to herself, "I read it in a tomb raiding novel," but saying that would only make people more panicked. She coughed lightly and said, "I read it in some popular science books. Quick, they are still far away from us and should not have noticed us yet. Let's climb back quickly."
She turned around first, and the two elderly people had no choice but to follow suit.
They didn't expect that their movement would cause countless small pebbles to fall, making a dull, heavy sound.
The rustling sound suddenly stopped in the direction of the light, as if the source had noticed the commotion.
He Suye's breathing immediately stopped, and she shushed the two elderly people.
The next moment, a deep voice came from the other end: "He Suye! Was that you?"
Upon hearing that voice, He Suye's heart skipped a beat, and then the tense expression on her face was replaced by disbelief.
This voice is...
"He Suye! This is Mo Yuan. Reply to me if you hear me!"
He Suye didn't know how she felt at that moment. She only felt a sudden pang of sadness in her nose and answered loudly in a low, hoarse voice, "It's me! I heard you!"
I heard you, it's you.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then Mo Yuan's voice rang out again: "Are you alright?"
He Suye quickly shook her head, and only after she finished doing so did she realize that the other person couldn't see her. She quickly said, "I'm fine! There are three other people with me, two elderly people and a child."
"Okay, come this way, I'll come get you."
The deep voice echoed through the corridor, making everyone feel relaxed.
But she dared not relax completely, because they were not safe yet.
"Grandpa and Grandma, that's one of our own. Quick, crawl over to him."
He Suye only realized after she finished speaking that she had been in tears.
Is this what it feels like to see hope?
She quickly wiped away her tears, not daring to waste any time, and helped the little girl crawl forward.
About six or seven minutes later, they finally met up with Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan came alone; there was no one else there.
Upon seeing Mo Yuan's face, the old lady's initial reproach and annoyance vanished, replaced by overwhelming excitement.
"You...you're not my son's boss..."
"Hello." Mo Yuan greeted her simply and helped the old lady cross a ledge covered with rubble.
"It really is..." The old lady was both happy and regretful. If she had known that the young girl was her son's boss's person, she wouldn't have complained earlier.
It's all because this girl is too low-key and doesn't say a word.
The old lady wore a satisfied smile, and all the last bit of resentment she had towards He Suye disappeared.
He Suye didn't care at all what the old lady was thinking.
She was at the very back of the line, three people behind her, when she heard Mo Yuan say, "Grandpa, hang in there a little longer, I'll pull you up."
The old man refused, saying, "You don't need to worry about the two of us, but my little granddaughter might not be able to hold on."
"Okay, little one, come to your big brother, I'll carry you out."
With her grandfather's permission, the little girl crawled over, and Mo Yuan simply carried her onto his back and crawled forward with her.
Just as He Suye was about to follow, she heard Mo Yuan say, "I'm very worried about you."
There were three other people in the passageway, but she knew that "you" referred to her.
She was stunned for a moment, then felt her cheeks burning and her heart racing.
How could he just say something like that so casually?
But perhaps she's overthinking it? It's perfectly normal for friends to express concern.
Thinking this, the heat on her face faded, and after giving a soft "hmm," she silently followed at the back of the line, crawling forward.
The further she went, the wider the passage became, and she could almost walk with her back bent over.
The group of five walked in silence for more than ten minutes until they finally reached the cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is under a large tree, naturally concealed by weeds, and would be impossible to find without careful searching.
After putting the little girl down, Mo Yuan went back to bring out the two old people. When it was He Suye's turn, his gaze froze and his brows immediately furrowed.
Seeing his expression, He Suye assumed that he was disgusted by her dirtiness. After all, it was normal for the pampered Second Young Master Mo to be a little germaphobic and afraid of getting dirty.
She quickly said, "Don't worry about me, I can walk by myself."
As luck would have it, just as she was about to stand up and half-squat to walk, a stone tripped her, and she lost her balance and fell forward.
Mo Yuan, who was squatting in front of her, was caught off guard and tackled to the ground. The two of them fell to the ground together, and the flashlight rolled from Mo Yuan's hand to the ground, shining on their faces.
He Suye felt that her nostrils were filled with the scent of Mo Yuan, along with a hint of tobacco.
She looked up and saw that Mo Yuan's hair was messy and his clothes were disheveled. He was a little better off than her, but not much better off.
Was he doing all this for her?
"Did you hurt yourself?" Mo Yuan asked first.
"No, no." She quickly looked away and used one hand to push herself off Mo Yuan.
With Mo Yuan as her cushion, she didn't fall and get hurt, but she knew that for a moment, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
Perhaps I was just too moved.
Before she could think any further, Mo Yuan had already gotten up from the ground and squatted down in front of her with his back to her.
"What are you doing squatting down?" she asked.
Mo Yuan said succinctly, "Come up."
He Suye asked in surprise, "You don't mean I have to be carried out like that little girl, do you?"
Mo Yuan simply said, "You are also a young girl."
"I'm not a little girl..." she said somewhat awkwardly.
Not only is she not a young girl, but she is also an older woman who has been married before.
Mo Yuan, oblivious to her embarrassment, said, "What else are you but a young girl? Don't waste time, come up here."
His tone left no room for argument, and faint sounds came from the distant passage, as if someone was catching up.
She glanced down at the injuries on her knees and hands, gritted her teeth, and lay down.
Mo Yuan is right, let's not waste any more time.
Mo Yuan felt the weight on his back, his face expressionless. He simply let her hold the flashlight while he bent over and carried her forward with difficulty.
Although it was difficult, it was still faster than He Suye walking on her own.
He could tell that she actually had very little strength left and was only holding on by sheer willpower.
Mo Yuan's gaze was deep, and he stopped speaking. He carried her on his back towards the cave entrance, though it was more like he was hunching over.
Mo Yuan remained silent, but He Suye, who was being carried by him, felt extremely uncomfortable. If it weren't for the need to save time, she would have preferred to climb out on her own.
To ease the awkwardness, she deliberately started a conversation by asking, "What are you doing here?"
Mo Yuan once again spoke succinctly: "Just passing by."
Will you be passing by?
