Their throats hurt from shouting, but there was still no response. The three of them felt their hearts sink.
They did not even go down the mountain. They sat there and rested until dawn again.
The three of them were dejected. No one wanted to think about that possibility, but all the signs pointed to that bad possibility.
Mu Cong shouted, “Young Marquis, Young Marquis—”
Li Wei and Cheng Yan also joined in. The entire mountain echoed with the shouts.
The three of them went down the mountain silently. Xia Hongyuan left three horses for them so that they could return to the troop.
The three of them got on their horses and raised their whips, letting the horses gallop.
When it was dark, the three of them caught up with the troop. Xia Hongyuan came personally. He looked at the three of them and said, “Don’t feel guilty. It’s destiny. I’ll report it to the capital truthfully. You’ve been searching for so long. You’ve done enough.”
The three of them did not speak, feeling terrible.
The person who they had been eating, drinking, and laughing with the day before was gone just like that.
If they found it so hard to accept, how should Marquis Su and Madam Su bear it?
Xia Hongyuan left. He had no relationship with Su Yanyu. Su Yanyu went to find worms and died because of it. This was destiny.
Life was filled with variables, just like his life. In the past, he was the Crown Prince, but now, he was the First Prince.
Su Yanyu was Liu Sanniang’s only disciple. If possible, he naturally hoped that Su Yanyu could live. However, whether he lived or died, it was all fate…
Su Yanyu kept hearing Li Wei and the others calling him. They were looking for him. Their voices came from above him, but because he could not respond, the voices gradually faded away.
Su Yanyu’s mouth and nose were covered in blood. His eyelids trembled weakly, but he could not open them.
Su Yanyu couldn’t move or make a sound. He couldn’t help but think to himself that he didn’t seem to be that much of an annoyance. After all, when he was missing, there would still be people looking for him for so long.
Was he going to die just like that? He was indignant, but there seemed to be nothing he could do.
His throat seemed to be smoking. Every time he swallowed, his throat would hurt terribly. His stomach was also filled with hunger, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Dying like this is too miserable,” Su Yanyu cursed under his breath.
He gradually opened his eyes. The surroundings were very dark. If he looked up, he could not see the top. He did not know how high he had fallen.
It was unknown if it was because he had woken up, but he was in extreme pain all over. Everywhere his skin was scratched, there was a burning pain. It was very painful, but it made him more and more awake.
Gradually, Su Yanyu started to move his hand. It was so painful that he cursed, “Damn it, it’s painful.”
Su Yanyu was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. He originally felt that it was very unmanly to cry at this time, but when he thought about how he was going to die here alone and that no one would ever find him, he felt terrible.
He cried until tears and snot flowed down. Only then did he raise his hand. There was a thick smell of blood. He reached out to touch his chest. The worm jar was also shattered.
The worms were all dead. He couldn’t care less about less. He grabbed the dead worms and shoved them into his mouth.
He desperately needed to recover some strength. He still had the incense on him and could still attract worms to refine.
He didn’t want to die yet. As long as he wasn’t dead, he had to live on.
The worms that had been dead for a long time were sticky. Although they did not stink, it was by no means tasty. However, at this moment, it was already not bad to have some food.
Su Yanyu thought to himself, “At least if I eat something, I won’t starve to death.”
Su Yanyu licked his fingers clean and smacked his lips. “This tastes a little like blood. I guess this is considered eating meat.”
In the darkness, there was no response. Su Yanyu talked to himself to relieve the boredom.
When he was unconscious, he could not respond. Now, he had woken up, but he still could not shout. However, since he could move, he could think of a way to get out.
Su Yanyu wanted to try to get up, but his stomach was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
Su Yanyu knew that moving would cause him excruciating pain, but if he did not move, he would soon die like this.
This was not worth it.
Su Yanyu did not want to give up, so when the pain subsided, he moved again. When he finally sat up, he was already crying uncontrollably.
He licked his tears. “It’s so salty. I wonder if it tastes good when used to stir-fry meat.”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh, why am I so f*cking unlucky?”
“I’m the only son my mother has. If I die, she’ll be heartbroken… Is the heavens blind? I’ve already turned over a new leaf and done so many good things…”
Su Yanyu wiped his tears, the salty tears irritating the wound.
Su Yanyu cried and screamed again. After crying for a while, he touched his chest and took out the broken jar. He had refined many worms, and some of them no longer needed jars. They were wrapped in cloth and placed on his body. The worms were dormant and would wake up when they touched water.
The cloth bag hidden in his inner pocket was still there. Su Yanyu heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn’t even remember what kind of worm there was. Anyway, he opened it, grabbed it, and stuffed it into his mouth. Anyway, he didn’t refine poisonous worms. He wouldn’t die from eating it.
After swallowing the cold worm, Su Yanyu felt that his body did not hurt so much anymore. In the darkness, he could not see clearly, so he did not know what worm he had taken. Su Yanyu felt it with his hand. There were still five worms in the cloth bag..
