Chapter 227 Injured
Along the way, they used the boulders and trees along the roadside as cover to fight off the enemy.
After finally breaking into the valley, A-Qiang led the group through the valley, turning left and right, and gradually shook off their pursuers thanks to their familiarity with the terrain.
The group hid in a cave, panting heavily, and all of them had some injuries.
Looking at the injured people, Song Qianyi doubted herself for the first time.
Is it absolutely necessary for her to go to this mine?
She bit her lower lip, filled with self-reproach.
She thought that with careful preparation and a strong team, she would be able to cope with all the risks in this foreign land, but reality dealt her a heavy blow.
The wounds on her companions, some deep and some shallow, stung her eyes with the seeping blood.
That was the price she paid for insisting on going to the mine.
Hu Xiyu noticed her low spirits, walked over to her, and said softly.
"Miss Qianyi, don't be like that. When you're out in the world, you're bound to encounter some storms. We're all doing fine, so it's not like we've lost."
Although her voice was slightly hoarse from exhaustion, it conveyed a sense of determination, attempting to dispel the gloom in Song Qianyi's heart.
Xi Er also grasped Song Qianyi's hand.
Her hands were still covered in undried blood, warm and sticky, but at that moment Song Qianyi felt that the warmth of her palm was both comforting and reassuring.
A security guard chimed in.
"Yes, Miss Qianyi, if it weren't for you leading us through the fight and dealing with things calmly, the situation might have been even worse. This is just a minor setback, and we'll definitely be able to get things going smoothly from here on out."
As he spoke, he rummaged through his backpack and pulled out the few first-aid supplies he had, handing them to Song Qianyi with eyes full of trust and encouragement.
A-Qiang struggled to his feet and dragged his injured leg over. Every step he took aggravated the wound, but he didn't even flinch.
“Miss Song, this was indeed dangerous, but we didn’t come away empty-handed. At least we learned about the local customs and know that we can’t let our guard down in the future.”
"Besides, we're not far from the mine. Although there are many forces watching over there, it shouldn't be this chaotic."
His words were calm and powerful, as if giving everyone a sense of reassurance.
Song Qianyi raised her head, and the confusion in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination.
Looking at her comrades who were fighting for her and for this mission, she felt a mix of guilt and gratitude.
She took the medicine from the security guard and took a deep breath.
"You're all right, I lost my composure. We can't let this loss go unpunished. From now on, we must be even more careful."
After saying that, she began to treat the wounds of the more seriously injured team members in an orderly manner, her movements gentle yet decisive.
After resting for a while, A-Qiang glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon. It would be even less safe here at night.
"We can't stay here any longer; we need to get to the mine as soon as possible."
Song Qianyi stood up, her eyes resolute. "Alright, let's go!"
Before setting off, Song Qianyi took steps to avoid a recurrence of this situation.
She dialed Yue Zimu's number.
When the call connected, Yue Zimu's slightly amused voice came from the other end.
"Miss Song, I knew you would come looking for me."
Song Qianyi didn't waste any words and spoke directly.
"Young Master Yue, the situation is critical. I would like to ask your men to go directly to the mine, where we will meet. The dangers along the way are far beyond my imagination."
Yue Zimu immediately responded.
"Don't worry, Miss Song, I'll arrange it right away."
Song Qianyi felt a warmth in her heart, her gratitude overflowing. "Young Master Yue, I am deeply grateful and will repay your kindness in the future."
Yue Zimu chuckled softly, "Miss Song, no need to be so polite. I only wish you a safe journey and a peaceful return."
After hanging up the phone, Song Qianyi told everyone about Mu's help during her postpartum period.
The tension in everyone's expressions eased slightly, and a spark of hope ignited in their eyes.
Ah Qiang has been in MD for many years, and he knows about Yue Zi Mu.
He slapped his thigh hard and grinned.
"With Young Master Yue's help, we feel much more confident! Now, even if we encounter trouble at the mine, we have a better chance of success."
Soon, guided by A-Qiang, the group left the place.
