Chapter five hundred and eighty second: life without light
"What happened!?" Minasha's father took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked the driver outside the carriage.
"Reporting to the master, they are a group of bandits. Although there are many people, their equipment is very poor. The guards will deal with them." The carriage driver is also a veteran. After carefully observing the situation for a while, he said.
"Huh, that's good." After hearing what the coachman said, Minasha's father breathed a sigh of relief.
He is a wandering businessman who has been wandering around all year round. He is no stranger to encountering bandits and bandits in the wild, and he has sufficient experience in dealing with it. But it is different from usual. This time he is very close to happiness, so he is in a panic.
Lost ground.
But he had calmed down by now. They were just a group of bandits with uneven equipment. There was nothing to be afraid of. The guards would solve everything for him.
Just when he was thinking this, there was a sudden commotion outside the carriage, and a sound of the ground shaking suddenly sounded.
"Damn it, these bandits didn't come to us at all. They were chased here by monsters and wanted to divert the fire!" The coachman who had followed Minasha's father for many years looked at the scene in the distance and said quickly.
"What kind of monster is it?"
Minasha's father leaned out of the carriage and looked towards the direction where the distant vibrations came from, his expression suddenly changed.
"Go!" Minasha's father roared.
In the distance are five huge khaki monsters. They have armor made of thick rocks and can dig and move in the earth. Because of their ability to shake mountains when their tribal groups gather together, they are called shakers.
Mountain beast.
The mountain-shaking beast's single combat ability is not strong, but when they move in groups, they can use the power of the earth element to tear the earth apart. Coupled with its huge strength and thick shell, almost no one on land can
their opponents.
There was no need for Minasha's father to say anything. The experienced guards and coachmen had already planned to evacuate after seeing the mountain-shaking beast in the distance. However, these bandits were determined to drag them along and fight to the death.
dragging the team to prevent them from retreating.
If it were normal times, the guards would not have to use much effort to deal with these bandits, but at this time there was no time for them to fight slowly and they had to leave quickly.
Finally, under the reluctant gaze of Minasha's father, the five mountain-shaking beasts slowly and heavily arrived at the site of the melee between the two sides.
"roar!!"
A terrifying roar sounded, and a large amount of earth elements were mobilized. Like a landslide, a large number of rocks on the mountains on both sides of the road broke and rolled down the mountain.
"No!" Minasha's father looked at the scene in front of him in despair. At this moment when his life was about to turn around, countless gravel rolled down from the mountain, burying all the beautiful visions in his heart.
........
In the dark environment, young Minasha slowly opened her eyes. In the darkness where she could not see her fingers, Minasha felt a warm liquid.
"Mom?" Minasha said with a trembling voice, unknown fear lingering in her heart.
"I'm here." The mother's weak voice sounded. She held Minasha gently in her arms. The wound on her forehead caused by the gravel seemed to be healing slowly.
"Where's dad?" Minasha asked again.
"Dad is here..." Minasha's father's weak voice sounded. His legs were buried under the gravel and he couldn't feel anything at all. But this should be considered lucky.
Well, the coachman responsible for driving the carriage was already covered in gravel.
Grains
Knowing that both of her parents were by her side, Minasha's fear partially subsided.
"It's so dark here, I can't see anything..." After a long silence, Minasha said.
"Huh... Minasha, darling, can you sit here by yourself for a while? Mom has to go to daddy's place." Minasha's mother said after taking a deep breath.
"Yeah." Minasha nodded lightly and did not ask why she couldn't be taken along.
Mother and father often stay alone together. Minasha, who has read a lot of books, knows that this is a private time to be alone, and even children cannot disturb it at will.
Although Minasha didn't know why she couldn't disturb them, since the book said so, she would be considerate of her father and mother, even though it was very dark here and she was very scared.
After a short period of time, Minasha's mother came back, carrying a dusty bag in her hand.
She rummaged through the wreckage of the carriage and found some fruits, vegetables, and bread in it.
There was a carriage specifically for storing food in the convoy, but that carriage was far away from their carriage, and it was impossible to bury them together.
The husband's legs were pinned down and he couldn't move. Their daughter was trapped under the gravel in the wild with them. It was impossible for anyone to save them.
Minasha's mother knew very well that they had to save themselves. She was quite familiar with this as she was once a powerful female mercenary warrior.
Although it is true to say so, but...the current situation is no less than the biggest crisis she has ever encountered before, and is even more desperate. It belongs to the kind of situation where she can only
A state of waiting to die.
But her husband and daughter are still here, and she can't just give up!
After placing the food next to her daughter and telling her to eat sparingly, Minasha's mother pulled out the long sword she carried with her and began to tentatively dig into the cave. She must be careful. An inadvertent word
, It may even cause the entire piece of rubble to collapse.
Just like that, the life that could not see any light and was buried in rubble began.
The sensible Minasha has been living with her parents all year round, so she is naturally not picky about food and wastes food. She is also very aware of the current situation, so she is very precious about the remaining food.
Minasha's mother, on the other hand, was constantly looking for a direction to dig in, trying to find a way out of here.
As for Minasha's father, he lay quietly on the ground and occasionally talked to his daughter to relieve her daughter's psychological pressure. He did not plan to eat any food, but planned to leave all the food to his daughter and wife.
In his opinion, with his legs already buried, he is the least likely to leave here. He has given up the desire to survive, but at least... he hopes that his daughter and wife can leave here.
However, Minasha didn't think so. She was determined to make her father eat some fruits or vegetables. If he didn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it either.
There was no other way. After discovering that his daughter would really not eat any food to coerce him, Minasha's father ate some insignificant green leaves.
As for Minasha's mother, in order to recover the energy she spent digging, she also had to eat.
Five days passed like this, buried underground by rubble...
