Chapter 408: Escape from the Cave
He just looked up and wanted to explain the situation to Lin Zhiqing, when he saw Lin Zhiqing looking out of the cave entrance thoughtfully.
As soon as the two looked at each other, they immediately understood what the other was thinking.
Lu Huai picked up a large stone and threw it out along the edge of the cave.
Then, the stone disappeared completely after making a few crisp sounds.
This means that there is still a certain height below the cliff.
Lin Zhiqing was about to speak when Lu Huai raised his hand to stop her.
Then he picked up a bigger stone and threw it down.
This time, the sound was louder.
Lu Huai used the same trick again and found a bigger stone to throw down.
After the stone fell, Lin Zhiqing didn't hear anything special, but Lu Huai quickly raised his head:
"We are a certain distance from the ground, but not far. We can faintly hear the sound of the stone falling to the ground."
Then he searched again, throwing down even bigger stones.
"Bang!"
This time, Lin Zhiqing seemed to hear some subtle noises.
But she didn't bother Lu Huai easily.
Lu Huai made a judgment in his mind and quickly raised his head: "It's about ten feet away. If we want to go down, it's not impossible."
Ten feet?
That is about twenty-five meters.
It doesn't sound high, but it's a cliff.
"I thought we were in the middle, but it seems we're at the end of the cliff." Lin Zhiqing said slowly.
"In that case, it's normal that the Lin family can't find us yet."
"But Lu Huai..." Lin Zhiqing looked a little hesitant:
"You've been protecting me since you jumped down. How are your injuries?"
"I only helped you with a simple treatment before, and didn't take a closer look."
"Also, where did the blood on your face come from?"
"Blood?" Lu Huai subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.
When he raised his hand, Lin Zhiqing saw the scabs and bloodstains on the inside of his fingers and couldn't help but frown:
"What's the matter with the injury on your hand? Does it still hurt?"
"This..." Lu Huai hid his hand behind his back.
"It was brushed against me when I was falling, but it's no big deal."
"This isn't a scratch, it looks like a knife wound." Lin Zhiqing said quickly:
"It was already night when I woke up, so I couldn't help you carefully. All the medicine I used was used to deal with those bad guys."
"Does it hurt?"
Lin Zhiqing grabbed Lu Huai's hand and took him to the water source to wipe the wound and the blood stains on his face.
Soon, Lu Huai's handsome face returned to its fair complexion.
But this made the bloodstains on his hands even more obvious.
Lin Zhiqing looked a little uncomfortable.
Lu Huai pulled his hand back: "I accidentally broke the bronze mirror and hurt my hand while cleaning it, Aqing, it's really nothing."
He didn't think it was a big deal, but he still told Lin Zhiqing everything.
However, he did not mention seeing Lin Zhiqing in the bronze mirror and awakening his memory.
Lin Zhiqing took his hand again and blew gently: "What about other parts of your body? Are you seriously injured?"
"It's not serious. When I fell, I used the vines and branches and some clever tricks to hold on. It's no big deal." Lu Huai moved his limbs.
Seeing that Lin Zhiqing still didn't believe it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Ah Qing, if you don't believe it, why don't you check it out?"
Lin Zhiqing was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw the expression on Lu Huai's face, she knew he was teasing her.
So, Lin Zhiqing rubbed his hands and said, "It's not impossible."
After hearing these words, Lu Huai blushed.
He took a step back: "No."
Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, just make sure you're okay."
"If you want to get down the cliff, you will definitely need to exert a lot of strength. I don't have any martial arts skills, so I will always be a burden to you."
As she spoke, she tore off the hem of her inner skirt and wrapped the fabric around Lu Huai's hands in circles.
"It's no problem to take you down." Lu Huai stood obediently without moving:
"But we still have to be fully prepared."
As he spoke, he looked around and set his sights on the big rock where he had just hidden.
After Lin Zhiqing finished bandaging the wound, he looked around and said, "I've tried it beforehand, and the vines around here are pretty strong."
"We came up with the idea of tying the vines to the big rock so we can use them as a safety rope when we go down."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the cave, slightly sideways, and tried to reach the vines.
But as soon as she took a step forward, she was quickly pulled back by Lu Huai.
"Let me do it." Lu Huai said softly, then raised his hand slightly and reached the vine.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing quietly walked to the side and tore off some strips of cloth from the complicated clothes.
This thing can hold the vines more firmly.
When Lu Huai turned around while holding the vine, he saw many strips of cloth scattered around Lin Zhiqing.
The two of them quickly tied the vines and the cloth strips together.
Lu Huai tried it and found that the vine was quite strong.
He tied one end of the vine to a big rock, and after making sure that the rock would not move, he tied the other end of the vine to himself.
"Aqing, I'll go down and take a look first." Lu Huai said.
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Be careful."
If the two of them continued to stay in this cave, the situation would be very dangerous. Not to mention whether people from Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion would come looking for them, the problems of environment and food would also be difficult to overcome.
After confirming that the vine was strong enough, Lin Zhiqing held on to one end of the vine tightly, while Lu Huai clung to the rock and slowly explored under the cave entrance.
Lin Zhiqing dared not move and could only feel the occasional movement coming from the vines.
I don’t know how long it took, but the vine seemed to stop moving.
Could it be that it has reached the ground?
Lin Zhiqing shook the vines tentatively and soon received a response. Lu Huai also shook the vines.
Lin Zhiqing felt a little relieved.
Lu Huai had told her in advance that if he went down, he would observe below first before coming up.
About another stick of incense passed, and the vines swayed gently.
This is the signal that Lu Huai is about to come up.
The process of going up is more difficult than going down.
Moreover, Lin Zhiqing was not able to pull Lu Huai, so he mostly relied on Lu Huai's own strength.
It takes a lot of effort to go up and down like this.
Seeing Lu Huai putting away the vines, Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but feel a little worried: "How is it, are you okay?"
Lu Huai nodded: "It's relatively safe down there, I don't feel any discomfort."
"Aqing, hold on to me." Lu Huai waved at Lin Zhiqing.
"Don't you need to take a rest?" Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but worry.
Lu Huai shook his head: "I'm fine. Besides, every moment of delay now will increase the danger."
This is the truth.
Lin Zhiqing nodded, checked one last time to make sure there were no major problems with the stones and vines, and then walked over to Lu Huai.
Lu Huai put his arm around Lin Zhiqing's shoulders, and the two looked at each other, seeing trust in each other's eyes.
As the vines continued to sway, Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing began to move slowly downwards.
