Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Chapter 173 My fate is up to me.

It was unknown how long the You Yuanzhou brothers had been digging, but the previously flat ground had been emptied into a deep pit, deeper than their own height. It wasn't long before You Yuanzhou climbed out, followed by You Qingshan. At 5 feet 4 inches tall, they needed help to get out, suggesting the pit must have been around 2.5 meters deep.

After You Yuanzhou came out, he rested his hands on the handle of the shovel and asked with a tired yet smug smile, "How is it, Mr. Wei? Are you satisfied with the pit we dug? We made it round and even took away all the stones for you!"

"Are you sure you only want to dig this little? It's too shallow and easily discovered!" I replied with a scornful smile.

"It's not shallow, it's almost three meters! And this is deep in the mountains and forests. By the time others find you, you'll be nothing but bones! Hahahahaha!"

After that, You Yuanzhou untied my ropes and handcuffs and motioned for me to move forward. I walked slowly, not hurriedly. You Qingshan came up to push me but stepped on my shoes and they fell off. I had no choice but to squat down and put them on.

"You're about to die, why are you still wearing shoes!" You Yuanzhou laughed.

"Even if I die, I'll die with dignity!" I put on my shoes and tied the laces of my other shoe, then slowly stood up. Seizing the moment when You Yuanzhou was off guard, I forcefully pushed him into the pit. Then, quickly turning around, I threw the handful of dirt I'd secretly grabbed while fixing my shoelaces at You Qingshan. He was dazed, rubbing his eyes. Then, I seized the opportunity and gave him a powerful kick in the crotch. The forest echoed with You Qingshan's wailing.

You Yuanzhou couldn't climb out of the pit, only cursing at me. I took advantage of You Qingshan writhing in pain and ran, relying on my memory to get back to the cabin. Back inside, I took their magazines. The submachine guns were too heavy to handle, so I smashed them with rocks. I also doused the bombs with water. A quick look at the cabin revealed no car keys, and neither were the keys in the car. It seemed I couldn't use the car, but I couldn't leave it to You Yuanzhou either, so I used a knife to break the wheels.

I walked along the mountain path hoping to encounter other people, but I didn't see anyone for a long time. My wound hadn't been treated, and I caught a cold during the night. I was starting to feel hot, probably starting to have a fever. I don't know how long it took before I reached a fork in the road. I couldn't remember which way I came, so I had to try my luck.

My decision proved wrong. Not long into my walk, I ran into You Qingshan. He kept clutching his crotch as he walked, proving my kick was incredibly powerful. I hid in the bushes, trying to wait them out, but the grass was still wet and cold, and I couldn't help sneezing, which caught You Yuanzhou's attention. Hearing the footsteps approaching, I decisively fired a few shots at them. They dropped to the ground, and I took the opportunity to run.

You Yuanzhou chased me relentlessly, firing at me continuously. Bullets whizzed past me. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my right shoulder, followed by my calf. The excruciating pain in my calf made me fall forward uncontrollably. I endured the pain and immediately turned around to shoot at them. My firepower temporarily suppressed them and stopped them in their tracks.

Unfortunately, the pistol had limited ammunition, and it wasn't long before it ran out. You Qingshan took advantage of the moment I was changing the magazine and rushed over. With my life seriously threatened, I quickly changed the magazine and shot You Qingshan. You Qingshan fell down three meters away from me. When You Yuanzhou saw You Qingshan fall, he shouted, "Brother!"

Unable to accept You Qingshan's death, You Yuanzhou fired frantically at me, and I could only duck behind a tree to avoid his bullets. Soon, he ran out of bullets, and I quickly counterattacked, firing repeatedly at him. He fell down under my blows. Three minutes passed without movement. I slowly approached him, gun in hand. Just as I was about to flip him over, he grabbed hold of me, knocking my gun aside. He pinned me to the ground and punched me several times.

Adult males are incredibly strong. A few of You Yuanzhou's punches left me dizzy and dazed. Between his blows, I saw blood on his stomach and stabbed him with all my might. He clutched his stomach in pain. I quickly pushed him aside and stood up to grab my gun, but was pinned down by You Yuanzhou again.

Faced with the disparity in power between the two sexes, I was completely suppressed by him, and he was about to turn the gun in my hand and point it at me. Facing the threat of death, I thought of my underage children in my mind. I still want to watch them grow up. I can't die!

With a powerful conviction, I exerted all my strength to turn the tide. A gunshot rang out, and the world returned to peace. I lay on the ground, still alive, staring at the sky obscured by the trees, gasping for breath.

I slowly stood up, confirming the two You Yuanzhou brothers were dead, then collapsed to the ground. But the wounds were still bleeding, and I needed something to stop the bleeding. I tore off You Qingshan's clothes to bandage myself, then limped away from the scene. Now that there were no more pursuers, I felt less anxious. I walked along the main road, hoping someone would pass by and help me.

I reached the fork in the road again and chose another path. I walked for a long time without encountering a soul. The mountains surrounded me, terrified. Their height and my insignificance made me feel as if they were about to swallow me. Along the way, the only sounds were the cries of various animals. The cries of crows particularly frightened me, as if each one was urging me to leave quickly.

At this altitude, it should be almost noon, but today's clouds are thick, so I'm not getting much of the sun's heat. As time passes, my body gets hotter and hotter. Without medication and rest, my body can't take it anymore. The world before my eyes is spinning again, and the sky is getting darker and darker...

I didn't know if there was a bug or something scratching my face. I slowly opened my eyes and found a little yellow dog licking my face. When I regained consciousness, I subconsciously stepped back. The little yellow dog was very excited to see me and wagged its tail. I also touched its head with relief. It was good to meet a little dog instead of a human.

But how could there be a puppy in this deep forest? Could someone be nearby? I told the dog my story, hoping it would understand and bring me help. But the dog didn't respond except to wag its tail and rub against my leg. Animals are animals after all; how could they possibly understand what people say? I looked at my wounds, then at the surrounding mountains, and a sense of sadness washed over me. Was I really going to die here?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt resigned. I'd worked so hard to achieve what I had today, why was it that You Yuanzhou had to ruin me? With the puppy by my side, I mustered my courage once again and walked forward. It was difficult, but my destiny was in my own hands. Man can conquer nature, and I can definitely get out of this!
