If you go to the mountains, there shouldn't be anything too serious, because the mountains aren't very high and there aren't any large prey, so there are almost no fatal factors. But if it's a reservoir, then people could really drown.

After all, water and fire are the most merciless.

Although he could relax a bit, Qin Mi still dared not let his guard down. Instead, he carefully searched for clues and walked towards the direction where the grass had been trampled.

Meanwhile, Wenxi was sitting in the cave, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not. She originally planned to build a step out with the box and walk up, but she did not expect that her ankle was still in excruciating pain and her arms were completely powerless. She could only helplessly look at the bright sunshine above her head.

When she got hungry, Wenxi would sneak into the system kitchen, scoop out ten mushroom and pork dumplings from the dumpling bowl, and also make a bowl of dumpling soup, thus solving her lunch problem.

The kitchen has several bowls of dumplings with various fillings, including chives and pork, corn and pork, mushrooms and pork, pickled cabbage and pork, pure pork, and lotus root and pork. Wenxi often brings out dumplings for breakfast in the morning.

"Xi, Xi, where are you?" Wen Xi had just come out of the system kitchen when she heard a familiar voice. "Reply to me if you hear my voice, Xi..."

Of all the people she knew, it seemed that only Qin Mi always called her "Xi" (meaning "little stream"), while everyone else called her "Xiao Xi" (meaning "little stream"). So she could instantly recognize Qin Mi.

Wen Xi quickly peeled off the plaster from her ankle, threw it back into the warehouse, then looked up and excitedly shouted, "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, I'm here, I'm here..."

Unexpectedly, when she disappeared, the first person to look for her was not her boyfriend, but her friend.

A person needs a few good friends while living in this world, otherwise no one will know when they die.

Hearing Wen Xi's response, Qin Mi finally felt relieved. Wen Xi's voice sounded quite strong, so nothing should have happened. Qin Mi followed the sound and walked forward, getting closer and closer until he came to a large pit. Qin Mi looked down and saw that the pit, which was more than ten meters deep, was dark and could not be penetrated by sunlight.

"Xi, are you here?" Qin Mi asked.

Wen Xi quickly stood up on one leg, waving her other arm upwards, "Brother Qin, I'm here."

Qin Mi said, "Xi, don't be afraid, I'm here. Wait a little longer, I'll think of something."

We can't see down there, and we don't know how deep it is. If we go down without being prepared, and then we can't climb back up, wouldn't we both be trapped inside?

"Brother Qin, now that you're here, I'm not afraid anymore. Don't worry, take your time." Since Qin Mi had already come looking for her, Wen Xi naturally had nothing to worry about.

Qin Mi then turned and left, searching around. This wasn't some deep mountain forest, nor were there any vines as strong as ropes. After searching for a long time, Qin Mi finally found a bamboo grove, but the bamboo was too thin to be of any use. If it were a large nan bamboo, it might be useful.

Qin Mi wandered around the mountain for a while, then kicked down a few trees and tied them together to make a makeshift ladder. When he reached the cave entrance, he lowered the ladder, placed the bottom of it on a box, and then jumped down from the box.

But ideals are lofty, while reality is harsh.

While Qin Mi was still on the ladder, he heard a very crisp 'crack' sound from it, and then the ladder broke. Qin Mi fell off the ladder, landed on the box, and then fell to the ground.

Wenxi was extremely worried and quickly jumped over, "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, are you alright?"

In her haste, Wen Xi completely forgot about her injury. She was anxious to check on Qin Mi's condition and accidentally used her injured foot, resulting in her falling onto Qin Mi. By sheer coincidence, her face bumped right into Qin Mi's chest. Not only did she hear his strong heartbeat, but she also smelled his clean, refreshing scent, completely different from a girl's scent, yet not unpleasant.

Wen Xi was completely stunned. She tried to get up by supporting herself on her arms, but a sudden pain in her arm caused her to fall into Qin Mi's chest again. Qin Mi cried out in surprise, but he didn't have time to worry about himself. Instead, he quickly helped Wen Xi sit up and asked anxiously, "What happened? Where are you hurt?"

"Ouch." Wen Xi winced and stepped back in pain after Qin Mi bumped her shoulder.

"What's wrong? Let me see." Qin Mi hurriedly checked Wen Xi's shoulder and found that it was dislocated. He then unexpectedly put her shoulder back in place.

Wenxi cried out in pain. Thinking of what she had experienced in the past two days, she couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably.

She has always been a very strong person and rarely cries, but today Qin Mi actually came to find her. When she was injured, he was like a bright light, illuminating her world and dispelling the sadness and grievances deep in her heart.

"Xi, what happened? You can tell me, and I'll help you deal with it." Qin Mi raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

The cool tears suddenly became scorching hot, burning not only his hands but also his heart.

"I was sitting by the reservoir, enjoying the breeze and clearing my head, when a man suddenly pounced on me, trying to assault me. I fought back and managed to escape his clutches..." Wen Xi recounted what had happened to her in fits and starts. She was determined to punish this man and prevent him from harming anyone else.

Hearing Wen Xi's words, Qin Mi was furious. He held her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms. Feeling her shoulders trembling and her neck slowly becoming damp, Qin Mi felt a pang of heartache. He gently patted her shoulder and said softly, "Xi, it's alright now. I'll teach this person a lesson and make him regret being born as a human..."

After a long while, Wen Xi finally calmed down and looked at Qin Mi in front of her, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"I'll rest for a bit and see how to get up there later." Qin Mi had just fallen twice and been bumped twice by Wen Xi, so he was a little tired. He sat down on the ground, leaned back against the box, and adjusted his breathing.

Seeing Wen Xi hopping on one foot, Qin Mi asked, "Xi, is your foot injured too?"

Wenxi nodded.

"Sit down quickly, let me take a look. If I can handle it, I will, so that it won't drag on and get worse." After all, Qin Mi had served in the army for more than ten years, and he could handle some minor injuries.
