previous part:

Feng Ming let out a “Uh!”, his voice seems to be stuck in his throat, his body leans back, bent into an inverted bow, and a mouthful of blood spurts on Ruo Yan’s shoulder.

He passes out.

___________________________

It’s time for the guards to change shifts.

Mian Ya put his ear against the wet, cold and very slippery wall, and keeps the same posture for a while without any change.

Losing his embrace, Su Jin Chao who is mostly submerged in the water, shivers while trying to be next to him, so as to absorb the constant heat from Mian Ya, and asks in a low voice, “What are you listening to?”

He also imitates Mian Ya and put his ear to the wall.

But there’s no sound.

Contrariwise, his cheeks are frozen badly.

“The guards have changed.” Mian Ya whispers, “This is our best chance to escape.”

He stands up straight and sees that Su Jin Chao is still frowning and pressing half of his cheek against the wall, he can’t help laughing, twisting his chin to make him turn his face back, “Stop pretending, can you hear me? All take and no give, a rich boy who has never worked hard.”

Su Jin Chao glances at him angrily.

But the most important thing at the moment is not to have a grudge against, but escaping from here before being frozen to death, listening to what Mian Ya said, it seems that once the guards change shifts, they will have hope of escaping.

“Have you thought of a way to escape?”

“Just wait and see.”

What to see?

Before Su Jin Chao could ask, Mian Ya in front of him took a long breath and sank into the water.

The water prison, which can be seen at a glance, is only a little big, and the water is quite turbid. Although its depth only one person’s neck, Mian Ya quickly disappears after entering the water. Su Jin Chao thinks he will come out soon, but after waiting for a while, the water is calm.

“Hey.” Su Jin Chao calls out suspiciously.

Not wanting to alarm the guards, his voice is very low, but in the narrow water prison, it also causes a deep buzzing and vague echo.

He feels uneasy.

Where did this bastard go? It won’t be possible to dive into the water and suddenly suffocate and drown in it, will it? Su Jin Chao freezes when he thinks of the corpse of another man in the muddy water of the pool he’s immersed in.

Mian Ya!

Su Jin Chao stands on tiptoe, walks back and forth in the water, and gropes anxiously by the touch of the soles of his feet. The soles of the feet touch rough and flat stone bricks and the like, when he walks to the other corner of the water prison, his thumb hit a protruding hard block without any defense, causing Su Jin Chao to cry out in pain.

It hurts so much, don’t know if it’s bleeding.

Su Jin Chao touched the thing that hurt him with his toes, it also looks like a rather large stone brick, but the bottom of the entire water prison should be sealed, where did this stone brick come from? He endures the pain, leans against the wall, and slowly probes near the stones with his feet.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the invisible water, there seems to be an opening in the side wall.

The stone that bruised his foot may have been attached to the side wall at first.

“Mian Ya?” Su Jin Chao lowers his voice, presses the side wall, and calls out carefully.

No response.

The opening is underwater, and don’t know where it leads, it is estimated that the sound above the water will not pass through.

Su Jin Chao’s swimming is not good, but there is no other way at this time, so he reluctantly cheers up, takes a deep breath, and presses his head into the water. Touching the wall with both hands, he slowly approaches the opening under the water where the slate is pried open.

It’s difficult to see underwater, Su Jin Chao stretches his hand into the channel like a blind man, the channel seemed to be very long.

Feeling that his breath is about to run out, Su Jin Chao jumps back in a panic, his head out of the water.

Phew!

It seems that Mian Ya has indeed found a way to escape, and Mian Ya is definitely no longer in this water prison now.

Thinking of this, Su Jin Chao feels a chill all over his body for no reason.

No matter how annoying that guy is, with him around, he can still feel a little at ease.

But now… this disloyal guy, he won’t just leave me and escape alone, will he?

The opening is just big enough for one person to pass by, with Mian Ya’s figure, it is no problem for the whole person to get in, but that is the bottom of the water. How far can he swim out in one breath? If this passage is very long, Mian Ya runs out of air halfway through his swim, and is trapped in such a narrow passage, won’t he…

Su Jin Chao’s heart skips a beat, he shakes his head quickly, and mutters to himself palely, “No, no way.”

He is feeling uneasy when suddenly, the water around him sway with ripples.

A wet head emerges from the water.

“Ah……”

Mian Ya hurriedly covers Su Jin Chao, who is almost screaming, and whispers, “Shh, it’s me. Do you want to attract the guards? What a newbie with no experience.” He let go.

“You bastard, give me prior notice if you’ve been here for so long!” Su Jin Chao gasps for a few breaths, he’s flustered, but he doesn’t dare to make a loud voice too, his suppressed voice is a little hoarse, “You startled this young master, I thought you were…”

“What do you think of me?”

“You…” You drowned…

“You thought I left you and ran away by myself?”

“Humph!”

Mian Ya speaks honestly, “I originally planned to go by myself, but suddenly I felt that you were too pitiful to be left here alive and frozen to death. So I’ll come back and take you with me.”

“How unreasonable, you dare to say that this young master is pitiful?” Su Jin Chao is seriously injured.

In his whole life, he has been surrounded by people rear and front, attracting countless envious eyes, and no one has ever dared to treat him as a pitiful creature!

Just as he was about to argue with Mian Ya, Mian Ya waves his hand boredly, “Stop talking nonsense. There’s not much time, I’ll leave now, taking advantage of the guards’ interval, will you come? If you don’t come, I’ll just save some trouble. It is more convenient to escape by myself.”

Seeing Mian Ya planning to dive again, Su Jin Chao is startled, and quickly grabs his wrist, “Don’t! Of course I’ll follow you, am I waiting to die here? But how long will it take to stay underwater? How far does it take to escape?”

Mian Ya asks, “Will you shut up?”

Su Jin Chao is stunned for a moment, then raises his chest and replies, “Of course.”

Mian Ya looks at him, but doesn’t expose him, “This is an underground water vein, and the water prison is connected to it. Entering from behind the slate, it is narrow at first, but gradually widens. However, it is a closed stone wall midway, there is no place for ventilation, we have to dive to the nearest lake in one breath. I just dived once and loosened some of the iron bars they put in place.”

He stretches out his hand underwater and touches Su Jin Chao’s waist and abdomen.

Su Jin Chao shudders suddenly, not knowing what he wants to do.

Mian Ya has a calm face, grabs the clothes on Su Jin Chao’s body, and forcefully tears out a few long cloth belts, connects them together, and tries them by pulling them, feeling that they are quite strong, he picks up Su Jin Chao’s right hand and ties one end of the cloth belt to his wrist.

Mian Ya stretches out his wrist in front of Su Jin Chao again, “Help me tie it up.”

Now it’s all up to Mian Ya to escape, so of course Su Jin Chao is obedient, he picks up the other end of the cloth belt and ties it tightly to Mian Ya.

Their wrists are connected by a cloth strap.

“I have already explored the way, and I won’t go in the wrong direction. The water is very dark, so you have to follow closely. Now, take a breath to the best of your ability, and don’t let it out unless you have to.”

Su Jin Chao nods, raises his head, and takes a big breath.

The next moment, he is pushed into the water by Mian Ya.

The two quickly enter the escape route, with Mian Ya in front and Su Jin Chao behind. The water is pitch black, but he can feel the cloth strap on his wrist being pulled by the Mian Ya in front, as if giving him directions. Sure enough, as Mian Ya said, the passage gradually widen, and the place where only one person can pass through is gradually widened.

However, his lungs hurt so much.

After swimming for a while, Su Jin Chao is about to run out of breath diving into the water. All four sides are cold water and rocks, he subconsciously touches his hands up, the top of his head is also rock, and there is no gap between the rocks and the water.　　

Really want to breathe…how far is it from the ground?

A stinging pain like burning his chest and lungs.

Countless crazy thoughts forces him to open his mouth and take a deep breath, but he knew that if he opened his mouth here, he would only drink cold leyline water.

He will drown in this dark place!

Fear surrounds Su Jin Chao everywhere like water.

Mian Ya!

Su Jin Chao waves his wrist desperately, pulling on the cloth belt.

Mian Ya, who is in front of him, notices it, turns and swims back to him, this experienced Mian Ya, has long guessed that Su Jin Chao will panic halfway through.

Thankfully he’s prepared.

He hugs Su Jin Chao in the water, pats his shoulder and tells him not to be too tense. This is just a habitual action, and doesn’t expect this little idiot to have a profound understanding of what it means to be calm in the face of danger. Unexpectedly, Su Jin Chao has been smarter this time.

The body that is struggling and wiggling quickly calms down.

His both hands on Mian Ya’s neck.

But this pose, is very… suitable for…

There’s silence in the underground water veins, and there’s no verbal communication, it seems that all actions are instinctive and justifiable.

Mian Ya holds the back of the head of the person in his arms with his big hands and presses his lips to his upper lip.

Air!

The little air that passes over like Su Jin Chao grabbing a life-saving straw, he follows Mian Ya’s lips tightly, as if he felt that it was not enough, he subconsciously tries to put his tongue into Mian Ya’s mouth.

Mian Ya’s breath is almost chaotic.

Damn it! Do you want us to die together!?

He pinches Su Jin Chao’s waist fiercely, Mian Ya ruthlessly moves his lips away, and swims forward desperately with this ignorant little trouble in his arms.

After giving Su Jin Chao a breath, he can’t support it for long.

He must take Su Jin Chao to the water before running out of breath.

The hateful thing is that bad boy Su Jin Chao, is holding his breath until his cheeks, chest and lungs are like burning, he only wants to give Mian Ya some more life-saving air, he hugs Mian Ya’s neck and rubbing his lips toward Mian Ya’s mouth, signaling Mian Ya to open his mouth.

Mian Ya understands that this is the life and death juncture of the two of them, so he won’t let him make trouble, while swimming, he shakes his head from side to side to prevent Su Jin Chao from prying open his lips.

What time is it? Seriously!

Again, he pinches Su Jin Chao’s waist in a warning way.

Su Jin Chao is very angry.

This young master is almost suffocated to death, not only did you not help, but you also took advantage of the opportunity? With an aww, he bites on the corner of Mian Ya’s mouth…

Whoaa!

A calm lake with splashing water.

Two wet heads emerge from the water, greedily breathing in the precious air.
