Lin Ran here had no idea how charming she was. She was trying to figure out how to climb up.
They were now in the valley below the cliff.
The scenery is quite nice, with mountains, trees, and water, and the sounds of insects and birds linger in my ears.
But there is no road!
Unless you return the same way.
But Lin Ran looked at the cliff they had just rolled down. Although it was easy to roll down, it was really difficult to climb up. If they were not careful, they might slide down again.
Shi Yan finally calmed down over there, but he still hadn't heard Lin Ran's voice, so he was a little worried. He ignored the pain in his body and staggered to his feet.
Then he saw the worry between Lin Ran's brows.
"What's wrong? Can't you find the way? It's okay, let's look for it together slowly."
Lin Ran looked up at the sun that was about to set and said, "We have to find a way to get up quickly, otherwise it might be dangerous here when it gets dark."
Shi Yan naturally understood this principle. Although when he looked up, there seemed to be no danger except for the occasional birds flying overhead and a few wild ducks resting on the emerald green lake not far away.
But when night falls, none of them can predict what kind of jackals, tigers or leopards will appear here.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan didn't dare to delay any longer and went to find a way with Lin Ran.
The two walked sideways along the cliff, and finally Shi Yan came to a conclusion.
"It seems that it's impossible to go around it. This valley is huge. Let's not even talk about whether there is a way to go around it. Even if there is, I don't think we can get out by tomorrow."
"We can only continue to find a solution from this side of the cliff."
"But this cliff is like quicksand, and there's no way we can climb up."
Lin Ran was a little worried. She didn't know how Lin Lao San was doing. She wanted to go back urgently.
Shi Yan knew her worries and could only comfort her:
"Don't worry too much. With He Zhiqing here, there shouldn't be any big problems. You know He Zhiqing is born with supernatural powers. As long as she is given time, it won't be a problem to deal with those bandits."
Lin Ran also knew that it was useless to worry now, so she quickly adjusted her attitude.
"Forget it, let's continue to research where we can get out."
The two walked back and forth along the cliff several times, and finally Shi Yan discovered a special place, which was a cave covered by vines.
Looking at the half-person-high hole that had been cleared, Lin Ran hesitated.
"Could this be a wild animal's den? Wouldn't it be suicide if we went in?"
Shi Yan shook his head.
"That shouldn't be the case. If there really were a wild beast inside, the vines at the entrance wouldn't be so intact."
But even so, he couldn't guarantee that there was absolutely no danger inside, so he suggested:
"I'll go in and scout the way first, and you wait for me outside so that we can meet each other."
Lin Ran was not stupid, so she naturally knew that Shi Yan wanted to take the risk alone, so she immediately shook her head and refused.
"No, if you want to explore the way, let's go in together."
"That won't work. If I go in alone and something goes wrong, I can run back immediately. But if you're with me, it won't be easy for the two of us to escape."
"Don't worry about me when you go in. I can protect myself and I promise I won't hold you back!"
Lin Ran was particularly persistent about this matter. After all, Shi Yan fell down to save her, and she couldn't just watch him take the risk.
If something really happened to Shi Yan, she would probably never be at peace for the rest of her life.
Moreover, she has her own trump card, so even if she really encounters danger, she will have no problem protecting herself.
In the end, Shi Yan couldn't persuade Lin Ran anymore and had to agree to take her in with him.
However, the cave is pitch black, so if you really want to go in, you have to make some preparations in advance.
Torches are easy to make, but the key is that getting fire is a bit troublesome.
Shi Yan prepared to try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Seeing this, Lin Ran had an idea and used her shoulder bag to take out a box of matches from the space. She even squeezed the box into shape before taking it out.
"Do you want to make a torch? Don't bother. I have matches here."
Shi Yan naturally breathed a sigh of relief when there was a ready-made fire, and didn't think much about why Lin Ran carried matches with him.
Now that we have the torches, the next step is to prepare some personal weapons in case of emergencies.
Shi Yan found two branches as thick as his wrists, broke off all the branches on them, and prepared to sharpen one end.
Seeing that he was having difficulty grinding, Lin Ran took out a dagger.
Anyway, I had already taken it out when fighting with the bandits before.
Shi Yan looked at the dagger still stained with blood, and the cold light made his heart tighten. He asked uncertainly.
"You just kept the dagger in your bag?"
"yes."
Lin Ran answered without any guilt, but when she met Shi Yan's somewhat relieved look, she realized why Shi Yan asked that.
She covered her lips and chuckled:
"Don't worry, I kept the knife in its sheath before, so I won't hurt you by mistake."
Shi Yan, whose thoughts were exposed, looked embarrassed for a moment and could only quickly change the subject.
"Your satchel is really a treasure chest, it has everything. With this dagger, I can just cut a branch."
With that he took the dagger and started to act.
With just a light stroke, the branches on the tree trunk were cut off directly.
Shi Yan was amazed when he saw it.
"This dagger is really sharp!"
Seeing that he liked it, Lin Ran said frankly:
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"I can't take it. If I'm not mistaken, this dagger should be an antique. The carvings on the handle are quite unusual. It would be nice for you to keep it for self-defense."
To be honest, no man would not like weapons, especially this kind of well-made and powerful weapon.
But this dagger is too precious. Lin Ran doesn't know its value, but he knows it in his heart and he can't take advantage of others like this.
Lin Ran really wanted to give it to him, so she considered it as a way of repaying Shi Yan's favor.
Moreover, this dagger must be priceless in Shi Yan's eyes, but in Lin Ran's eyes it is just ordinary.
There are simply countless better weapons in her space.
Because their Shen family has their own iron mine and iron smelting skills that have been passed down for generations.
However, these are all the Shen family's hidden businesses.
After all, in their dynasty, anyone who mined iron ore illegally would be executed along with his entire family.
Moreover, the Shen family also wanted to protect the iron smelting technology in their hands. If it were to be spread out, the fate of their Shen family could be imagined.
For example, the dagger in her hand was forged by their Shen family themselves.
She even picked the most ordinary one specifically so as not to attract attention.
But I didn’t expect Shi Yan to have such a sharp eye that he could tell at a glance that this was an antique.
It seems that Shi Yan's background must be unusual.
However, Lin Ran did not want to delve into these matters. Seeing that Shi Yan was determined not to accept it, she could not force him and had to give up.
