Chapter 185 Asking for help

Upon hearing Cao Qimei's hoarse voice, Feng Bingkun turned to look in this direction, as if he had just noticed the unusual situation.

Upon closer inspection, they indeed saw a number of people lying haphazardly on the ground. This startled Feng Bingkun, who immediately ordered his entourage to stop, urging everyone to be on alert, protect their caravan's goods, and send two guards over to check the situation.

Even though he knew what was going on over there, Feng Bingkun still acted very cautiously, as if he was worried that there might be some robbers nearby.

Seeing Feng Bingkun's reaction, Cao Qimei became even more anxious, worried that Feng Bingkun and his group didn't want to get involved and would choose to leave directly.

If they missed this caravan, missed such a rare opportunity, they would really have to wait here to die, and their Tian family would be wiped out in this place.

Fortunately, two guards came to check the situation. Cao Qimei forced herself to stay awake, enduring the pain all over her body, and waited for the two guards to come. She was determined to ask them for help and hoped that the caravan could take them away from this desolate place and send them to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town.

Only by leaving this place and getting to the Yuan family's place will they have a chance to survive.

After all, so many of them had been bitten by venomous snakes, which could be fatal. Cao Qimei was really anxious, worried that if too much time was wasted, they would miss their chance to survive.

However, not knowing the origins of this caravan, Cao Qimei remained somewhat wary, hoping they weren't there to take advantage of her misfortune.

If they see that they are about to die, and those people plunder all their belongings without caring about their lives, that would be even worse.

Unfortunately, given her current situation, Cao Qimei knows she has no other choice.

If the problem isn't too serious, she'll still have to pay a price, just hoping the caravan will kindly take them to the Yuan family's place in Yuanguang Town.

Having quickly considered these matters in her mind, Cao Qimei tried her best to calm herself down, endured the pain and torment in her body, and waited for the two guards to come so that she could seize this opportunity.

By the time the two guards arrived, Cao Qimei was in so much pain that she could barely hold on. She was dizzy, lightheaded, and felt nauseous, making her condition even worse.

However, knowing that this was her best chance to ask for help, Cao Qimei still stubbornly held on.

In order to avoid falling into a coma and being unable to explain things clearly, Cao Qimei bit her tongue to keep herself awake with the pain, so that she could handle this matter as well as possible.

This was a matter of life and death for her and her family. The situation was extremely critical, yet she was the only one who remained conscious and able to speak for help. She couldn't afford to have any accidents at such a crucial moment, lest she miss this rare chance to survive.

Moreover, when the two guards approached, Cao Qimei sized them up for a while.

Seeing that the two guards were dressed very formally, like they were from a security escort agency, Cao Qimei became even more cautious.

Of course, knowing that these people were probably not robbers or bad guys, Cao Qimei relaxed a little and stopped being so tense.

Her physical condition had deteriorated significantly. After being poisoned by snake venom, she was not in a position to experience strong emotional fluctuations. Cao Qimei could only try her best to relax, alleviate her pain, and remain conscious so that she could communicate with the two guards and seek help.

After composing herself, Cao Qimei looked at the two approaching guards and quickly said, "Gentlemen, I am from the Tian family of Pengzhou. We were on our way to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town when we were unfortunately attacked by a nest of venomous snakes. My whole family was bitten and poisoned, and we are in trouble. Please help us and tell your master to take us to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town. I will be eternally grateful!"

"My whole family has been bitten by venomous snakes, and we are in critical condition. Please, gentlemen, have pity on us and tell your caravan owner."

"The Yuan family of Yuanguang Town is a branch of a prominent family. We are family members of the matriarch of the Yuan family. When we arrive in Yuanguang Town, we will make sure that the Yuan family repays your great kindness and will not treat you unfairly."

The situation was too critical, so Cao Qimei had no choice but to briefly explain her predicament and whereabouts in order to seek their help.

Furthermore, to make her words more credible, Cao Qimei also mentioned the Yuan family of Yuanguang Town, hoping to get help from these caravans.

The Yuan family of Yuanguang Town was quite well-known in the area. Cao Qimei said this only to increase her chances of survival and let the other party know that there was something to gain.

After considering for a moment, Cao Qimei continued, "You are a merchant guild, right? I can pay you. Would it be alright if you could take us to the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town?"

"Once we reach the Yuan family in Yuanguang Town, we will reward you handsomely, and we will absolutely keep our word."

"I can write you a note right now, have you sign it, and write down all these things as evidence. I just beg you to help us."

In order to get these people to save them and not miss this chance to live, Cao Qimei tried everything she could to move them and get them to help her.

She had no choice. Once these people ignored them and left, they would most likely not encounter anyone to help them, and that would mean certain death.

To survive, they must seize this opportunity.

They'll give us money or things, they just want to live!

It's already dragged on for so long, Cao Qimei doesn't know how much time they have left.

If the snake venom spreads through their bodies, they will all be beyond saving.

Cao Qimei still found this situation too bizarre.

Those venomous snakes looked extremely poisonous. They were ambushed and attacked by them, and they thought they would die instantly, but they were plunged into even more painful torment, yet they did not die.

Thus, they found themselves in such a terrible situation, worse than death, yet still had a chance to survive.

This situation was very abnormal. Cao Qimei had already become suspicious, but she still couldn't understand it. She was also quite fortunate that they were still alive and hadn't died on the spot.

She will try her best to investigate the toxicity of those snakes, whatever the reason.
