Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Shao Wei didn't dare to delay. Since King Wu dared to hide people here, he must have made sufficient preparations and there must be a secret passage for these people to leave.

If we delay for a moment, the possibility of finding Lu Zhiyao will be lowered.

He lowered his eyes and told Gu Qinghe to follow closely. Without even looking at the old lady, he kicked the door open and walked straight in.

Of course, Gu Qinghe was not idle either. She had seen the dark room in Wei Yanzhou's study in her previous life, and she had also seen many such secret passages in this life, so she didn't want to miss any of them, for fear that some seemingly inconspicuous thing might be the switch to her mother's dark room.

"What are you doing?" The old woman sat down on the ground. "It's the middle of the night, and you just think I'm easy to bully. Oh my God, someone come quickly!"

Gu Qinghe pulled out the dagger that Shao Wei gave her for self-defense, took two steps towards the old woman, and put the dagger against her neck. The sharp blade cut her skin, leaving bloody marks.

"Where is the man?"

The old lady's voice suddenly stopped, "Who is it? I am an old man, there is no one else living here, only me."

"In that case, you are of no use." Gu Qinghe pretended to stab with the dagger.

The old lady screamed and looked towards the room on the left in panic.

Gu Qinghe suddenly pushed her away and ran over there.

The courtyard did look a bit run-down, but it didn't look like it was home to just one old lady. The rooms on the right looked as if they were regularly cleaned, but the ones on the left were covered in dust, as if no one had ever lived there.

When the door was kicked open, dust flew onto Gu Qinghe's mouth and nose, but she didn't care about that and wanted to search everything in the room.

This was not a good idea. Shao Wei walked out, stood in the yard, looked at several rooms, and suddenly walked towards the room on the left near the corner.

He said to Gu Qinghe: "Come here."

The door was kicked open, and the furnishings in the room were no different from the previous ones. Shao Wei looked around and raised his hand to knock on the wall.

With a bang, the doors and windows shattered, and several men in black rushed in.

Shao Wei pushed Gu Qinghe back and whispered, "This wall is empty. There must be a secret passage inside. The mechanism should be in this room. Look for it. Leave these people to me."

"it is good."

Gu Qinghe looked at everything that might be used as a mechanism, even picking up the books on the bookshelf to take a look.

These men in black were no match for Shao Wei. King Wu probably didn't expect them to find this place. In addition, not many people stayed here for fear of attracting their attention.

Shao Wei dealt with a few people and turned around to help Gu Qinghe, but saw her squatting on the ground looking at the movable floor tile next to the bookshelf.

This location is somewhat hidden. If Shao Wei hadn't bumped into the bookshelf and caused it to move when he was fighting with the man in black just now, this brick would not have been exposed.

Gu Qinghe lifted up the floor tile, revealing a metal pull ring underneath, which seemed to be connected to the ground.

Without thinking, he pulled the ring. With a loud bang, the wall behind them suddenly cracked, revealing a dark path.

Shao Wei pulled Gu Qinghe, who was about to rush in, back and pulled her behind him, "Follow me."

The tunnel was very narrow and there was no light at all. Gu Qinghe could only hold on to Shao Wei's clothes and follow his steps forward.

The breathing sounds of the two were very clear, and their hands that were clenching the corners of their clothes were soaked with sweat.

As the narrow tunnel suddenly opened up, there was a sound of wind and a very tense scream.

He raised his hand and grabbed the wooden stick that was swung towards him. Worried that the person was Gu Qinghe's mother, Shao Wei didn't even dare to pull the stick over, for fear of knocking the person down.

But it seemed that the man on the other side was already scared without him having to do anything. He threw away the stick and huddled aside with his head in his arms, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

It was a very young female voice.

Shao Wei took out a fire starter and lit it, and then the two of them could see the scene inside clearly.

The one who attacked them was a little girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. She was huddled to the side, trembling. Not far away, on an open space, was lying a young woman.

Gu Qinghe's head buzzed after just one look, and he rushed over there, "Mom!"

The trembling little girl screamed and rushed over there, "Don't touch the madam!"

Shao Wei stopped the man.

Gu Qinghe's heart was about to jump out of her throat. God knows how many thoughts surged in her mind the moment she saw Lu Zhiyao.

The unreal dreamlike feeling enveloped her once again, but she had no time to think about whether it was true or false, a dream or reality.

She helped Lu Zhiyao up and leaned her against herself, then quickly took her pulse.

Her pulse was disorderly, which might be the reason for her coma, but fortunately, she was still alive.

As long as she is alive, even if her pulse is a mess, Gu Qinghe is confident that he can help her recover.

She helped the man up and looked at Shao Wei with red eyes, "I did it, I really did it, my mother is still alive."

The surging emotions in Shao Wei's chest were also at work. He wanted to hug Gu Qinghe and say to her how amazing she was, but he still had some rationality and suppressed the urge to move forward.

So he tied the little girl's hands and brought her over to Gu Qinghe, and then carried Lu Zhiyao on his back, "Follow closely, let's leave here first."

The little girl was protecting Lu Zhiyao. She originally thought that the two people who came in were bad guys, but when she heard Gu Qinghe calling Lu Zhiyao "Mom", although she was still a little confused, she at least followed the two of them obediently.

Not far from Qi County, Gu Qinghe met Gao Cun who came to pick him up, and put him in the carriage. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This place is close to the capital, but it is obvious that they can no longer return to the capital, so Shao Wei simply took them to the home of his brothers who had marched and fought together in the war.

After traveling all night, we finally arrived at the destination, but Lu Zhiyao was still asleep.

Shao Wei knocked on the door, and a burly man opened it. The moment he saw Shao Wei, his eyes widened and he said, "Fuck, am I dreaming?"

Shao Wei punched him on the shoulder, "Lao Liu, it's me."

He carried the man down from the car and said, "Help me."

Lao Liu’s wife was a very gentle woman. After settling everyone down, she went to the kitchen to prepare food.

In the carriage, Gu Qinghe had already carefully felt Lu Zhiyao's pulse, fed her a pill, and just waited for her to wake up.

She was guarding Lu Zhiyao, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Mother, do you know what happened in the Chen family during this period?

What has mother been through during this period of time?

If she didn't know about the Chen family yet, how could Gu Qinghe tell her all this?
