445. Collapse

The nine-story tower that stood towering on this island yesterday has now become a ruin.

Under Lu Zhe's order, the Chu family dug up the original piece of land where the Jiuxiao Tower was located, revealing the foundation. In addition to bricks, stones and soil, there was also a hole in black horn, about one meter square. After throwing the stones down, they soon heard the sound of stones as water.

"Isn't it a well below?"

"How come there is a well here? Even if it really exists, it will definitely be filled when building the Jiuxiao Tower!"

"The young master and his wife fell into this well...below?"

"I have looked for it elsewhere, but it can only be below."

...

The Chu family, who had been busy for most of the day, was in a mood. At this moment, they wiped the sweat from their foreheads and really wanted to find Su Mo and Yuan Qiu, even if some of them were just out of confusion.

"I'll go down and take a look!" Rong Yuanlang said as he was about to jump down, but Lu Zhe grabbed his arm.

Rong Yuanlong's eyes were red, "It must be below!"

Lu Zhe shook his head, "My cousin and brother-in-law didn't know that there was this hole underneath. At that time, the Jiuxiao Tower suddenly collapsed, so they could not pry open such a thick floor and drill down."

Seeing that Rong Yuanlang wanted to refute, Lu Zhe continued, "It must be Su Yan's fault. She exploded the Jiuxiao Tower and took advantage of the chaos to kidnap her cousin and brother-in-law, and left here. With Su Yan's personality, there will be no cousin and brother-in-law below, but it must be poisonous. Rong Yuanlang, don't be impulsive. If you are poisoned, your cousin will not be able to save you."

"What should we do? Su Yan took away his sister. If this time, she left her brother-in-law behind. If we went early, we might be able to save her!" Rong Yuanlang frowned fiercely.

Lu Zhe shook his head, "If it were me, he would definitely take both of them away because they are both useful. Chu Liang, go find some livestock to come over! There are ropes and buckets!"

It was getting dark.

Lu Zhe glanced around and said, "Thank you all for your hard work, go back, be careful, Yan Su is really poisonous, this Jiuxiao Tower was blown up by her, and my cousin and brother-in-law were also kidnapped by her. You are more at ease, I will not treat you, but if anyone colludes with Yan Su again, I can tell you responsibly that you will perish without me."

The Chu family master and the young and middle-aged men on Feixian Island who came to help came to see each other and left one after another. They were also a little obedient and shrewd, and offered to stay for help, but Lu Zhe did not refuse.

As for the couple who were pressed inside when the Jiuxiao Tower collapsed, Lu Zhe had already received the news that the situation was not good, but they were not dead and had not yet woken up. The woman's child was gone before she was rescued.

At that time, someone came to tell Lu Zhe about this. Lu Zhe also took two medicines from his body and asked the man to take them to the old doctor on the island, saying that it was for the couple to use them, which might save their lives.

At that time, everyone nearby saw Lu Zhe's actions. Of course, some people would think that Lu Zhe was winning people's hearts, but some things would be remembered as long as he did. Moreover, everyone on the island now knows that something happened to Su Mo and Yuan Qiu just to save the pregnant woman.

At this moment, Lu Zhe was still waiting for Chu Liang to bring what he wanted, a young man rushed over, panting and shouting, "My uncle and aunt took the medicine made by the young master's wife, and their lives were saved! Grandpa Qu said that if it weren't for those two medicines, they would not have survived today!"

As he said that, the boy knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Zhe, "My grandma asked me to come here, thank the young master's cousin for helping him!" After he got up, he was about to run away.

Lu Zhe moved his footsteps and rushed over and grabbed the boy.

The boy's neck shrank and his face turned pale. People around him didn't know why Lu Zhe suddenly did this.

"Are they awake?" Lu Zhe looked at the boy and asked.

The boy shook his head, "No...I haven't woken up..."

Lu Zhe sighed and let go of the boy, "If your uncle woke up, ask him if he had seen my cousin and brother-in-law when the Jiuxiao Tower collapsed, and whether he had seen the crazy woman Yan Su, what was special at that time?"

"Hey!" The boy breathed a sigh of relief, "I remember!" He ran away after he finished speaking.

Chu Liang returned and brought back two chickens, a rabbit, two large bundles of hemp ropes, and two buckets of water.

Lu Zhe tied a bucket to one end of the hemp rope and put it down from the hole.

After a while, the rope paused and the bucket touched the water.

Lu Zhe shook the rope, fetched a bucket of water, and pulled it up again.

Someone around him held a torch to illuminate Lu Zhe. The water he pulled up looked nothing unusual. Lu Zhe gestured with his eyes. Rong Yuanlang grabbed a chicken and came over. The chicken with his head pressed down drank a little water from the bucket. His head drooped and he died in an instant.

Qingting caught a rabbit, and the same goes for it.

Lu Zhe tied a stone on the rope and put it down. He looked at the length of the rope being submerged to measure the water depth, and found that it was more than two meters.

The dead chickens and rabbits prove that the water is highly toxic.

If Lu Zhe hadn't been cautious and held Rong Yuanlang, he would have jumped down, which would have been awful.

Rong Yuanlang calmed down now, but he was still angry, "That poisonous woman, I curse her to hit the sky with thunder!"

Seeing this, the Chu masters who stayed to help had to believe what Lu Zhe said. Judging from Su Yan's methods alone, she could not be a good thing. No matter what grudges Su Yan had with Su Mo and Yuan Qiu, the couple who almost killed her today were innocent. Although the couple was not dead, the full-term child was gone, and the man would most likely be completely disabled, and the life-saving medicine was given by Lu Zhe! Otherwise, he would definitely die today!

A poisonous woman who will hurt innocent people is most likely the person she wants to harm is a real good person. This is a very simple truth.

"What should I do now?" Qingting was anxious, "If it was so poisonous below, how did Su Yan leave?"

"There must be an exit. She can poison the water after she goes to a safe place. With her poisoning technique, it's too easy." Lu Zhe said in a deep voice, suddenly remembering something, "Tell the people on the island that all the water sources should be tried with livestock when drinking water!"

When people around him heard this, they looked shocked!

An old man frowned and said, "Most of a day has passed, and I haven't heard of it..."

Before the old man finished speaking, a panic shout came from a distance, "Not good! No! My son just took a sip of porridge and foamed at the mouth... Help!"

The old man who had just spoken froze and couldn't help but scold, "It must be that poisonous woman!"

Lu Zhe took out a medicine bottle and threw it to the old man, "This is the antidote made by my cousin. If she is not here, I can only help here. Go quickly, maybe it will be too late. Others go to inform the people on the island, be careful not to drink toxic water!"

Soon, the people around were almost exposed. Because there were their relatives on the island, they were very anxious.

At this moment, Lu Zhe looked at the hole of the black beard at his feet and sighed deeply, and was a little exhausted. This trip was going on. But at first he was with Su Mo, and most of the time he made the decision. Lu Zhe helped him to make a suggestion and discuss it. In fact, there was not much pressure. Later, Yuan Qiu successfully saved himself, and Lu Zhe followed the couple. To be honest, no matter how thrilling the process was, the main pressure was not on Lu Zhe.

Now that Su Mo and Yuan Qiu both have an accident, Lu Zhe suddenly feels under great pressure. He has to take charge of the overall situation, but it is really too difficult.

"Prince Lu, think of a solution!" Qingting was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"You go down and take a look." Lu Zhe said to Qingting, "Tie the rope around your waist, don't touch the water, and don't touch the wall, just see if there is any exit, maybe it will be on the water."

Qingting nodded without hesitation, "Okay!"

In fact, Lu Zhe initially planned to let Chu Liang or Chu Ping go and not let his own people take risks, but Chu Liang and Chu Ping, who were afraid that they would not think about responding, would be safer than Qingting to go on.

Rong Yuanlang tied the rope to Qingting's waist, tied a solid knot, and then put him down carefully.

Soon, Qingting's voice came from below, "It's very spacious."

"Be careful not to touch the water. Tell me in time when it is time to stop." Rong Yuanlang reminded loudly.

Qingting said that the rope should be placed faster. Not long after, he shouted loudly, "Stop!"

"How is it? Have you found something?" Rong Yuanlang asked below.

"Yes! There is a passage on the water surface, which is not completely flooded!" Qingting said loudly, "but he can only walk out of the water!"

When Lu Zhe heard this, he understood that there was a passage, but he was played by the water, but he was not completely flooded, and there was still space on it, but it was impossible for people to cling out on the wall like a gecko. As long as the water enters the water, it is still so deep, which is very dangerous.

If Yuan Qiu was there, he could find a way to relieve the poison in the water, but Lu Zhe did not have that ability. Although he only died of a chicken and a rabbit, it is unknown how many kinds of poisons there are in the water, whether it is poisonous after drinking it, and whether it will cause poison to be exposed to the skin.

Lu Zhe saw the horror of a poison master when he grabbed various poisons from Yuan Qiu. Only ordinary people could not imagine, but could not do it without a poison master. This is a sentence that Lu Zhe sighed after Yuan Qiu really made puppet medicine.

Rong Yuanlang pulled Qingting up, and Lu Zhe asked him how high the space in the passage was not flooded?

"About four or five feet," said Qingting.

"The entrance of this cave is very spacious?" Lu Zhe thought.

Qingting nodded, "This entrance is only five or six feet narrow."

Lu Zhe nodded, "Okay. Chu Liang, Chu Ping, take people to dig out the holes, be careful not to let people fall down. Ah Fu, Qingting, you go and get a small boat."

Rong Yuanlang's eyes lit up, "Yes! People cannot enter the water, they can still sail at a height of four or five feet!"

After saying that, Rong Yuanlang and Qingting ran away and went to find the boat. Chu Liang and Chu Ping continued to dig the land with the experts of the Chu family.

It didn't take long to dig the hole open. Under the reflection of the torch, Lu Zhe saw a deep pool below and the passage Qingting said.

Lu Zhe looked up at the direction outside the island, and suspected that the passage was directly connected to the sea. Although this place was in the center of Feixian Island and not close to the coast, the island itself was not too big. If it was directly connected to the sea, Lu Zhe suspected that Su Yan was also walking by boat.

Rong Yuanlang and Qingting came directly with a small boat, which was not difficult to find on the island.

Tied it with a rope, sent the boat down and landed steadily on the water.

"I'll go explore the way." Qingting said, "Prince Lu can't take risks. If something happens to you, we will be really out of our mind!"

"I won't go, you won't go either. Chu Liang and Chu Ping, you go down together, sit on the boat, go out from that passage, see where it leads. If there is no way, come back." Lu Zhe felt that it was time to use these two puppets, and it would be a pity to die. He was a person who was in the same vein as Su Yan.

Chu Liang and Chu Ping quickly jumped down according to Su Mo's order, landed on the boat, picked up the oars, cooperated with each other and paddled towards the passage.

The torch illuminated the pool below, and Chu Liang, Chu Ping and the boat they were riding quickly disappeared from Lu Zhe's sight.

The old man who had gone to deliver antidotes before came back and said that he would go a little later, so the poisoned child would die. Fortunately, Yuan Qiu made great medicine and rescued the person from the gate of hell. There were several similar situations. He tried it with livestock and it was indeed a poisoned person in the well.

Others came to report that there were only five wells on the island, and only one of them was poisoned, which was located on the westernmost part of the North Island.

Lu Zhe asked someone to seal the well first, and the other wells must be confirmed to be really fine before using them.

After a day of hard work, Lu Zhe had not touched the water, but he had no appetite.

The moonlight is bright and the night breeze is cool.

Lu Zhe was sitting on the ruins of the Jiuxiao Tower. The ground where the Jiuxiao Tower was originally located had been completely dug out, revealing the pool below, and a full moon reflected on the water surface.

Lu Zhe calculated the day. Today is the fifteenth day, and it has been more than three months since he left home.

"Cousin, brother-in-law, what should I do if you all fall into Su Yan's hands..." Lu Zhe said to himself, thinking about this issue. Although he was trying to find out among the colleagues below, Lu Zhe did not think that Su Mo and Yuan Qiu could be found in this way. If he was Su Yan, he would definitely take both of them away, so that he could clear her biggest obstacle in an instant, no matter what she planned to do next.

It was not until midnight that Lu Zhe met Chu Liang and Chu Ping again, but they did not return from the same route, but from land.

"Master, the passage goes directly out of the sea, to the west of Feixian Island."

"Because of heavy rain and tide yesterday, water will enter."

“No other discovery.”

After Lu Zhe heard this, as expected, Su Yan had already left with Su Mo and Yuan Qiu, and time had passed for a whole day. If he chased him from the sea, he would never be able to catch up.

Lu Zhe had a bitter face, "They were both arrested. How could they fight Su Yan next?"
