The cave was pitch black, putting Shen Qingyu in a passive position: to save people, she needed to be able to see.
If you want to see it, a tinderbox certainly won't work...
Bringing out futuristic equipment (a flashlight) would easily expose you.
Shen Qingyu frantically searched through her bag (space shop) when suddenly something caught her eye.
"Xiao Yunqi, you wait, I have a plan!"
"What method?"
Shen Qingyu didn't say anything more. She directly bought a dazzling firework for fifty coins, tore off the outermost colorful wrapping paper, and lit the fuse with a tinderbox.
"puff……"
A burst of silver fireworks suddenly erupted from the side, shooting three meters high, like a silver pagoda pine tree, illuminating the dome-shaped cave clearly and brightly.
Xiao Yunqi was stunned.
This woman actually had fireworks in that bundle?
Where did she get this thing?
Taking advantage of the brief moment of the fireworks, Shen Qingyu successfully reached the edge of the pool and threw out a rope: "Come up from here!"
Before Xiao Yunqi could grab the rope, the fireworks slowly went out.
Darkness returned to the surroundings.
Shen Qingyu said helplessly, "Wait a minute, I'll put in another one."
Xiao Yunqi: "..."
The second dazzling display of fireworks was lit right at Shen Qingyu's feet.
Xiao Yunqi glanced at the woman squatting beside the fireworks, quickly grabbed the rope that Shen Qingyu had thrown down, and pulled hard.
"Thump." Shen Qingyu was pulled down.
Xiao Yunqi felt a chill run down his spine and quickly went to answer the call.
Holding the soft, fragrant body in his arms, the elasticity and warmth made Xiao Yunqi feel a little stiff.
Shen Qingyu looked around in a panic.
Oh no, they both fell!
If we can't find our way up, will Xiao Yunqi and I die here?
Xiao Yunqi only had eyes for Shen Qingyu.
In the dim light of the fireworks, the pink cotton fabric clung to her body. The soaking wet woman was in his arms, and he reacted inappropriately.
The fireworks went out quickly.
"Xiao Yunqi?" Shen Qingyu's voice trembled.
"Hmm?" The voice that answered came from above his head.
"what to do?"
Xiao Yunqi had already observed the situation using the fireworks. The other side seemed to be slightly lower, so he wasn't worried: "It's okay, we'll go up from that side."
Xiao Yunqi loosened his grip slightly, but Shen Qingyu grabbed him tightly: "Don't leave me!"
Her voice was filled with vulnerability and pleading.
Xiao Yunqi was stunned again: This was unprecedented.
This woman can be arrogant and domineering, she can stand on her hips and curse, she can hang herself and fight... but she will never show weakness.
"I won't abandon you." Xiao Yunqi's voice softened as well.
Xiao Yunqi wrapped his arms around her waist, and she clung tightly to Xiao Yunqi's neck.
The two of them kicked their legs and, guided by Xiao Yunqi, swam in another direction.
The pool wasn't large, and soon Xiao Yunqi got ashore and pulled Shen Qingyu up with him.
Xiao Yunqi wanted to go to the place where Shen Qingyu lit the fireworks to find a tinderbox, but Shen Qingyu reluctantly let go.
After Xiao Yunqi found the torch and tinder that Shen Qingyu had brought and lit the torch, he saw Shen Qingyu sitting on the shore, curled up in a ball with her knees drawn up to her chest.
Such fear and vulnerability evoke pity.
Xiao Yunqi's heart skipped a beat. He walked over and hugged Shen Qingyu without saying a word: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
A deep, resonant male voice sounded above her head, and the warm, damp embrace made Shen Qingyu feel inexplicably at ease. Without hesitation, she hugged him tightly.
"Okay." Shen Qingyu obediently agreed.
Xiao Yunqi's body stiffened for a moment, and his expression softened.
After taking a closer look, Xiao Yunqi frowned slightly: This was a stone cave with a crack in the mountain wall from which a thin stream of water was flowing out, dripping into the pool below.
With this amount of water, it's enough for a few families to eat and drink, but it's definitely not enough to irrigate the fields.
Xiao Yunqi sighed: What a waste of time.
Shen Qingyu, who had been obediently staying in Xiao Yunqi's arms, was no longer so afraid. After looking around, she asked, "Do you think if this crack is opened up, the water flow will be even greater?"
That's possible.
But we'll have to break it open to find out.
Of course, this is not a task for just two people; it would require at least several stonemasons to complete.
Xiao Yunqi explained the plan, and Shen Qingyu nodded in agreement. The two then packed their things and headed out.
As the sunlight shone through the cave entrance onto the two of them, Shen Qingyu gradually regained her courage and loosened her grip on Xiao Yunqi.
Xiao Yunqi reluctantly let go, looking at his empty arms again, feeling a little empty.
"Qingyu?" Xiao Yunqi called out to Shen Qingyu, who was walking out first.
"Huh?" Shen Qingyu stopped and turned around. Her wet clothes outlined her curves, making people's mouths dry.
"Can we... not get a divorce?" Xiao Yunqi finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.
"Didn't you want a divorce?" Shen Qingyu's voice turned cold.
"I regret it."
"Then why did you marry me in the first place? I didn't kidnap you!"
"And that night you also..."
"If it weren't for that night, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant with triplets, and I wouldn't have had to raise three children all by myself later!"
She felt wronged and even angry whenever this was mentioned.
When the original owner of this body married Xiao Yunqi, she was at her fattest and ugliest, and also at her weakest due to the poison.
If he didn't like the original owner of this body, he shouldn't have consummated their marriage!
Who knew that the very next morning, he pulled up his pants and refused to recognize anyone, acting all hostile and unreasonable. A few days later, he disappeared without a trace!
Faced with Shen Qingyu's angry expression, Xiao Yunqi was stunned, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Shen Qingyu turned and left.
"I was set up," Xiao Yunqi suddenly shouted from behind.
"What did you say?" Shen Qingyu had already stepped out of the cave and thought she had misheard.
Xiao Yunqi mustered his courage and stepped forward: "I had just come out of Guiyun Tower in the prefectural city when I was chased and killed. I fled to Hengshui Town and hid in a teahouse. When I saw those people coming, I turned around and hid."
"After they left, I passed out. When I woke up again, I was in bed... and then..."
Shen Qingyu: "!!!"
Xiao Yunqi's face also turned red.
Shen Qingyu was dumbfounded.
After a while, Shen Qingyu calmed down and tried to figure out the truth of the matter: "You mean, you woke up in my bed?"
"Yes." Xiao Yunqi nodded decisively.
