Chapter 1173: Rescue (6)
Yang Ruxin dared not delay, hastily extinguishing the oil lamp before taking out a torch she had previously made from her space and lighting it; she also lit a stick of incense.
This incense, concocted by Dao Xuzi, possessed a certain detoxifying effect.
Soon, those suffocating from the poison gas began to breathe more steadily.
Only then did Yang Ruxin realize that there were actually four stone chambers below, with people locked inside. Possibly because the poison gas had not been released for long, not everyone inside was affected.
However, many had already fallen unconscious.
The one who had been calling for help was a boy who looked about eight or nine years old. Seeing Yang Ruxin kick open the iron door of the stone chamber with one foot, he revealed a weak smile, "Save... save... my little sister," he said, pointing at the opposite chamber.
Yang Ruxin then noticed that this stone chamber contained only boys while the opposite one held all girls; she couldn’t help but nod her head, "Don’t worry, everything will be alright. If you can move, get out of here quickly..."
Unable to carry many people by herself, Yang Ruxin rushed into the chamber to pick up two of the youngest girls, both unconscious, and dashed out.
The boy who had asked for help also staggeringly ran out, carrying a slightly older girl with him.
"Xinxin..." Gu Qingheng quickly reached out to take the child.
"There were quite a number of people locked up inside. They must have released the poison gas during their escape. Fortunately, the gas didn’t burn for too long..." Yang Ruxin’s expression was somewhat ugly; she took out a porcelain bottle, "Give everyone going in for the rescue one pill to hold in their mouth..." Having said this, she turned and entered the tunnel again.
