Without waiting for Gong Juechen to respond, Ye Zhi asked again, "Wasn't I with Shi Shi and the others? Where are they?"
"There was a landslide, you were buried under the soil—don't you remember?"
Ye Zhi suddenly understood. No wonder her whole body ached so much, as if she had been run over by a car. So that's why, she had been buried under the soil.
Gong Juechen continued, "I was worried you might be in danger, so I came here looking for you. As it happened, I saw the landslide occur, and you were buried. Then I dug you out from the soil myself. As for your five soldiers, I didn't pay much attention, but they should be fine. When I brought you away, they were still doing well."
Dug out...
As soon as Ye Zhi heard Gong Juechen say he had dug her out of the soil, her gaze immediately landed on his hands. She noticed that Gong Juechen's hands were badly injured, with the skin broken so severely that the flesh inside was visible. Just the sight of it made her feel pain.
