Chapter 18 Learned that they were alive

The person who is looking for it on the cliff at this time.

"Leader, the cliff wall here is so slippery, the brothers will slide down every time they go up a certain distance, not only that, but there are also some brothers who have suffered internal injuries of varying degrees, what should I do now, do you want to go up?" A man who had just fallen off a cliff clutched his internally wounded chest and said anxiously.

The leader naturally noticed this situation, and thought it was a good cliff to climb, but the more they went up, the more slippery it became, and finally they used the talons of the eagle to reach a distance, but they didn't have to go very high before they fell.

Even if they are so difficult, it means that the possibility of the young master being on the cliff is very low......

Now we can only hope for the Seventh Prince and Situ Shizi.

But he won't just give up, the leader looked at everyone, "Come on, this time use the thorn!" ”

After the leader finished speaking, everyone instantly understood, silently took out from his waist something similar to a modern dart, but shorter than it, smoothed the big head, placed it on the sole of the shoe facing inward, the sharp end facing outward, fixed it with a steel wire, and once again went up the cliff.

Unlike before, the soles of their shoes after the thorns were much better than last time, and they also suffered a lot more pain than before.

However, they all endured a little bit of climbing, and soon the soles of their shoes were worn out, and there were a lot of blood stains on the cliffs......

And every time they climbed to a certain height, they would call Qi Ziyan's name to confirm whether he could hear it.

It just kept falling, going up, shouting, and after falling, taking a break, going up, dropping, and shouting.

In the end, fewer and fewer people can go up......

Half an hour later in the cave.

Mu Xiaochu, who was forced to lean on Qi Ziyan's arms, suddenly got up and said, "Yan, I found that the rattan outside seems to be strange. ”

"Don't mention any rattan." As soon as she heard the word rattan, Qi Ziyan immediately covered her mouth.

"Hmm-hmm-" Mu Xiaochu didn't understand why she was inexplicably covered by Qi Ziyan, and kept pulling his hand.

Seeing that Mu Xiaochu was very uncomfortable, Qi Ziyan took his hand away and explained: "Xiaochu, as soon as you mention the rattan, it will remind me of the scene of you leisurely playing with it when you fell off the cliff. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I wasn't playing, I was holding on tightly. After finally understanding what Qi Ziyan said, Mu Xiaochu shook his head awkwardly and explained, and then his voice became more and more whispering, "I was afraid that you would be dragged down by me, so I said that, after all, the situation at that time could live one by one." ”

The most important thing is that she died by herself!

After Qi Ziyan listened, he hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Xiao Chu has to understand one thing, without Xiao Chu, there would be no me." ”

Mu Xiaochu: "......"

"Okay, don't you have something to tell me, let's talk about it now."

Now that it's all explained, it doesn't matter if you mention rattan or something.

"Oh-nothing, I just think the rattans here are so thick, I guess it's been a long time."

As for the previous idea, she thought about it for a while and felt that it was not valid, so she didn't mention it.

"That's all?"

Mu Xiaochu deliberately glanced at him, "Otherwise, what do you think I will find out about that situation at that time." ”

"You want to go down with rattan?"

"How do you know!" Mu Xiaochu's eyes widened and he said in surprise.

"I guessed, but it seems like I guessed right." Qi Ziyan hugged Mu Xiaochu into his arms again, and said softly: "I have thought about this idea before, but I can only say that even I am not sure how high this is. ”

So he didn't want to take any chances.

"You knew that before? When did it happen, how did I not know? Mu Xiaochu looked up at Qi Ziyan and said suspiciously.

"While you're asleep."

"Well, so you did so much while I was asleep." Mu Xiaochu leaned on Qi Ziyan's arms and said in a low voice.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaochu raised his head and said, "Then how should we get out?" ”

"There's always a way."

Suddenly, Qi Ziyan spoke, "Xiao Chu, you wait for me here." Then he took the dagger and walked to the cave.

"Yan, what are you cutting these rattans for?"

After a while, Mu Xiaochu saw Qi Ziyan writing there with a dagger, and then threw it under the cliff.

After putting a lot of written rattan down, Qi Ziyan explained: "I guess my people didn't find people at the bottom of the cliff, and they might go up the cliff." ”

"No, it's so high, how can they get up the cliff?" Hearing Qi Ziyan's explanation, Mu Xiaochu also walked to the cave.

But before he got close, he was pulled back by Qi Ziyan and said solemnly: "Okay, whether it's true or not, you are not allowed to get close to here again, do you know." ”

"Oh-"

After throwing the rattan in, Qi Ziyan began to observe the cave carefully.

Inch by inch, not letting go of a trace.

It didn't take long for them to finally find it.

Qi Ziyan pointed to the wall of a hanging cave and said, "Xiao Chu, look at it, is there any trace of being opened here." ”

After Mu Xiaochu got closer, he looked carefully and puzzled: "Yes, why didn't I see anything." ”

"No, I'm sure someone has been here." Then Qi Ziyan squatted down, touched the soil underground, and said more certainly: "I think this place can be moved, Xiao Chu, you go back first." ”

"Okay."

After Mu Xiaochu took a few steps back, Qi Ziyan first tried the wall in front of him with his internal force, and then he only heard a bang with force, and a crack opened in the wall in front of him.

"Yanβ€”you can really move here!" Mu Xiaochu approached excitedly when he saw this.

"Boom-"

"Alright, take my hand and let's go inside." Qi Ziyan took Mu Xiaochu's hand and walked into the hole that had just been opened, his movements cautious and careful.

After walking a few steps, they saw a quilt, some stones to sit on, cups to drink, and nothing else, but the quilt and water cup alone were enough to surprise them.

Qi Ziyan affirmed: "Someone has lived here!" ”

"yes, maybe we'll be out soon." Mu Xiaochu walked into the quilt and touched it, "But it seems that no one has lived here for a long time, and even the quilt is trendy." ”

Qi Ziyan put his arm around Mu Xiaochu's shoulders and said, "It's a hope." ”

Mu Xiaochu hugged Qi Ziyan's lean waist and rested his head on his chest, "Yes-even if you can't get out anyway, it's nothing, there are fish in the water here, and there are still more beds and quilts." ”

"No, we'll definitely get out." Qi Ziyan's fists clenched.

It's one thing to say that it's one thing to stay, but it's another thing to listen to Xiao Chu say it, and her heart inexplicably began to feel distressed, her Xiao Chu shouldn't be trapped here.

At this time, Di Chuge and his party who were looking for it along the current.

"Seven Princes, you see, a lot of rattans have suddenly appeared upstream." One of the guards picked up the rattan from his hand and handed it to the Seventh Prince.

After taking the rattan, Di Chuge took a closer look, "There are words here!" Di Chu Ge read: "I, in, precipice, middle, live." ”

After Qi Ziyan saw it, his tone was excited and affirmed: "It's Brother Yan, this must have been written by Brother Yan!" ”

"Seven Princes, there are also words on the rattan here."

"I've got that tooβ€”"

"I haveβ€”"

……

"Leader, look at the words on this rattan, is it written by the young master?" The guard under the cliff also held a rattan and said excitedly.

"Yes, it was written by the young master, which shows that the young master is still alive!" The leader said emotionally after seeing it.

"Let's move on!"

"Leader, there's still a word here."

The leader took it and read, "No, use, find." ”

"The young master doesn't need us to look for it, so do we still look for it?" One of the attendants said in a weak tone.

After listening to this, the leader looked at the brothers who were resting behind him.

After nearly a day of going up the cliff, many people were not strong enough, and some of them were covered with scratches, and then a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, "No need, we are waiting for the young master here, I believe the young master will definitely find a way down." ”

And so at the same time in the cave.

"Yanβ€”who do you think will be the one who put a quilt here?" Mu Xiaochu sat on the stone and wondered.

"I don't know, but I think he'll come back." Qi Ziyan looked inside many times and came to a conclusion.

Mu Xiaochu stood up from the stone and walked to Qi Ziyan's side, "Will you come again?" You mean we'll be able to get out soon. ”

"Yes, we'll be able to get out soon."

"Gollumβ€”"

Mu Xiaochu looked at his stomach and said embarrassedly, "I'm hungryβ€”"

A quarter of an hour later, outside near the spring.

Mu Xiaochu said to the man in the water: "Yan, let's catch the fish with pearls on the nod this time." ”

"Okay." After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, let go of the ordinary fish in his hand and replaced it with a pearl.

Mu Xiaochu stretched out his hand towards Qi Ziyan, "Give me one, I want to take a closer look, the ones I caught before were the kind without pearls, and I haven't caught this kind of one yet." ”

As for the reason, because it's not as easy to grasp as that......

"You-" But as soon as Qi Ziyan handed it over, he found a problem and quickly stretched out his hand back, "Wait-"

After taking a closer look, Qi Ziyan quickly threw the fish back into the water, "Xiao Chu, this kind of fish is not delicious at first glance, let's eat the previous one." ”

Mu Xiaochu looked at the thrown fish suspiciously, "Why, is there something wrong with this fish?" ”

Qi Ziyan threw all the fish on the ground and followed him ashore, "There's nothing wrong with it, okay, if Xiao Chu wants pearls, I'll get you a few to play with later." ”

Mu Xiaochu shrugged and said, "Okay, anyway, I'm interested in the pearls on its head." ”

After eating the grilled fish, Qi Ziyan coaxed Mu Xiaochu to sleep inside, while he returned to the water's edge.

After going into the water and catching a fish, I used a dagger to break the belly of the fish, and then I saw that there were a lot of small pebbles inside.

Some are round, some have sharp horns, and the strangest thing is that the stones scattered in the belly of the fish are wrapped in a layer of slime.

In addition, there are many stones that have begun to change color, red, milky, and pink, which are exactly the same color as the pearls on the fish's head.

Does this mean that these stones are actually the source of pearls that indirectly make fish heads? Like shells producing pearls?

He was really getting more and more interested in this place, not only the water and fish that could heal wounds, but also the fish that could produce pearls like this.

But it's imperative to find a way out first.

What Qi Ziyan didn't know was that three days later, he not only knew how to get out, but also knew a little bit about the secrets of this place.
