"You can do it." Ergou knew that his physical strength had reached its limit.

His arms and thighs began to tremble unconsciously, and the blue veins in his hands were throbbing.

He panted heavily and encouraged her, "Climb up in one breath and then pull me up."

Hearing this, Su Su's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and she knew that she couldn't drag Ergou along any longer.

She moved tremblingly, slowly moving and trying to climb up on his shoulders.

I heard him groan, and was too frightened to move. I hurriedly asked, "Did it hurt you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, hurry up!"

Ergou held on to the tree roots tightly.

After Su Su stepped on his shoulders, he pushed upward with all his strength and finally sent her up.

But this also completely exhausted all his strength, and he fell into the deep pit again, almost unconscious.

"Who is it!" Su Su shouted in panic from above.

Ergou forced himself to open his eyes. He didn't know what was happening above.

Are the bandits chasing us?

He wanted to get up, but he couldn't move, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over his whole body.

Immediately afterwards, Su Su's crying was heard again.

Ergou gritted his teeth and stared at the cave entrance.

He really hated this feeling, the frustration of being unable to do anything but watch the people around him get hurt and fall down one by one.

Fortunately, when he was about to collapse, Su Su's little head popped out from above.

She cried to Ergou, "Wuwuwu, Ergou, it's Brother Gou, wuwuwu, Brother Gou and Uncle Chen are here!"

After saying that, Li Xinglan's head popped out from above.

Seeing Ergou lying in the pit half-dead, he said in a frivolous way, "That's just right, why don't we just bury him?"

"No, no, I'll go find a rope." It was the voice of Blind Chen.

"Bury your uncle! You're still in the mood to joke at this hour!" Su Su said angrily, "Get down!"

She gave Li Xinglan a light push, and he jumped down.

In the moonlight, Li Xinglan sighed as he saw the shocking wounds on Ergou's body.

He said seriously, "Thank you for protecting Su Su."

Finally able to close his heavy eyelids, Ergou fell into a coma.

In a trance, he seemed to still hear Su Su's sobs.

Don’t cry, Su Su.

-

Ergou had a dream. In the dream, his father and brothers had bloodshot eyes, and there were seven-foot-tall men who supported their bodies with swords until their death, refusing to fall down.

In the dream, there were the heart-wrenching cries of my mother, brother and sister-in-law, the blood-red on the mourning hall, and the sixty-eight people in the business, all buried in the sea of fire.

In the dream, he was locked in a coffin, with only endless darkness to accompany him.

"I will make sure that the last of Shangjia's bloodline will never be reincarnated."

Outside the coffin, a sharp male voice sounded, with a hint of pride, "This is the fate of going against our ancestors."

After an unknown amount of time, the air became thinner and thinner, and he could hardly breathe.

He thought he would die too, and would die unjustly along with the 68 other people in the merchant family.

Suddenly, a cry pierced the darkness, and he tried hard to open his eyes.

He thought that what was waiting for him would still be the endless darkness in the coffin.

No, it's not, it's light.

"Woo woo woo, Ergou, please don't die!"

Su Su cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose.

When she looked up again, she saw Li Xinglan frowning with a heavy look on his face, and she cried even harder.

"Brother Gou, save Er Gou! Don't just frown. Give him artificial respiration and CPR a try."

Two dogs?

Oh, yes, he didn’t die, he was rescued by tomb robbers, and he got a new name, he became "Ergou".

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a thin girl lying beside him with her head buried, crying as if she was about to die.

"Look up." Li Xinglan said lightly.

The indifferent tone made Su Su raise her head suddenly, and she saw that her face was covered with tears and snot.

She angrily said, "So cold! Ergou is about to die, and you can still be so calm!"

"......" Ergou wanted to say something, but he was still startled when Su Su looked up.

How could a woman cry so unrestrainedly, so... uh... without caring about her image...

Although he was born into a family of military generals, his family had strict rules regarding women's words, behavior, and etiquette.

Although he had known from their daily interactions that Su Su was more...

Uh... not particular about details, but this is too rough...

Unable to bear Su Su's loud voice and also afraid that she would shed tears and snot on him, Li Xinglan threw the handkerchief to Su Su.

"Ergou is alive and well. If you keep suppressing him, he'll be in real trouble soon."

"My breathing and heartbeat stopped! You call that fine?!"

Su Su pointed at Ergou and looked sideways, "Damn! He's really fine!"

She excitedly held his hand, and after confirming that there was light in his eyes, she said happily, "Great! Ergou, you're finally awake!"

"Wow, you've been in a coma for three days, and your heart and breathing just stopped. I almost scared myself to death."

Li Xinglan glanced at Ergou and curled his lips. "I've used so much medicine. If he doesn't wake up, my heart will be broken."

Hearing the noise, Blind Chen also came in from outside the carriage, holding the boiled medicine in his hand, which was steaming.

Seeing Ergou really opened his eyes, he was very happy, "It's not too hot anymore, come on, Ergou, drink it quickly."

Su Su helped Ergou up, being extremely careful.

Worried that he didn't have the strength to hold the bowl in his hands, she gestured to Blind Chen to hand the bowl to her and let her feed him.

Ergou was a little uncomfortable with this somewhat intimate gesture, and he politely declined, "I'll drink it myself."

His voice was weak, but it shocked Li Xinglan and Blind Chen.

Especially Li Xinglan, his reaction was the same as Su Su's at that time.

After coming to his senses, he angrily yelled, "What kind of dog are you?! You can talk, but you pretended to be dumb all the way! It's been all this time, and I haven't heard you fart once!"

He narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You bastard, you're too cunning and know too much. I'll poison you and make you mute first."

Seeing him getting up, Su Su quickly advised, "Brother Gou, calm down. The child is still young!"

"Just spoil him." Li Xinglan pretended to be heartbroken. "You forgot about Dagou when you had Ergou. You're really something, Wang Xiaocui."

"..."

Su Su rolled her eyes, speechless, and could only watch Li Xinglan acting like a drama queen.

Sometimes she was really worried about Gou Ge’s mental state, always feeling that he was crazy.
