The two men groped their way forward in the dark, fighting as they went. They didn't know how many snakes were in this snake den, and they were bound to get bitten a few times. Qi Qi's skills were not good, and he was bitten on his left leg and shoulder, and almost bitten on the buttocks.
Gu Siyan was also bitten, but he didn't cry out. Qi Qi estimated that he was bitten about five or six times on the back. After walking for three minutes through the part with the most snakes, the light in the cave gradually brightened.
Qi Qi was overjoyed and pulled Gu Siyan outside.
When they finally crawled out of the cave, Qi Qi looked down at the forest below and was surprised to find that he and Gu Siyan had been in the cave for almost seven days, with their frequent stops and starts!
In that instant, the body that had been barely holding on finally let out a sigh of relief. Qi Qi collapsed to his knees at the cave entrance, raised his hands, and forced a smile through his cracked lips, his voice incredibly hoarse: "Gu Siyan, Gu Siyan, look, we're out, we're out! Hahahahahahahaha..."
"Tongtong, I'm out!"
The system that had been with Qi Qi in the darkness, always ready to answer any question, replied: 【Congratulations】
Next, the system needs to process the backlog of tasks accumulated over the past few days.
Qi Qi didn't receive a response after a while, so he turned around.
"Gu Siyan!"
Gu Siyan collapsed to the ground at some point. The sun was shining brightly, and both of them were in a sorry state, not much better off than beggars. However, Gu Siyan had more wounds, especially on his chest. When Qi Qi lifted his clothes, he saw that although the cave was cold, the wounds had been rotting from the excessive trauma.
He used this body to bring Qi Qi out of the cave, enduring the excruciating pain of these wounds without saying a word.
Qi Qi gritted her teeth and held back her tears.
After glancing at Gu Siyan one last time, Qi Qi stood up and stumbled down the mountain. Unfortunately, he was too weak to walk any further. After only twenty or thirty meters, the last bit of strength in his body was exhausted, and Qi Qi collapsed to the ground, face down. A few moments later...
Footsteps sounded behind him, and Qi Qi was yanked up from the ground. Regardless of who it was, Qi Qi grabbed his hand, panting, and struggled to say, "There's a cave a few dozen meters east of here. My...my brother is up there..."
Everything went black, and I lost consciousness.
...
When the sound came back to him, Qi Qi felt something on his thigh and his collar was ripped open. He realized that his righteous path was ruined and he had encountered bad people. He felt a pain in his shoulder and then a cool, refreshing substance was applied to the spot where he had been bitten by the snake.
Qi Qi struggled to open his eyes and saw the person in front of him tremble, and a large blob of green stuff fell into Qi Qi's collar.
Qi Qi didn't say anything, and the man hurriedly ran away.
Qi Qi: "..."
I tilted my head slightly. I was probably lying in someone's house. The bed was covered with some kind of animal fur and smelled of a man, probably the man from earlier.
The surrounding area was neither too big nor too small, but it looked like just one room. Various animal hides, bones, and other such items were placed around the room. Gu Siyan was lying naked on a fur mat on the ground, with many old scars of various sizes on his body, and five or six places covered with something green, probably some kind of herbal medicine. His chest was also wrapped with two layers of white cloth.
Gu Siyan was rather casual. Qi Qi was still wearing her skirt and pants, but that person pushed her pants up and applied medicine.
After a while, the man stood at the door and looked inside. He looked very embarrassed. He was also very strong, which was rare in this chaotic world. He looked like he could take on ten people at once.
Qi Qi understood.
This is the protagonist's extraordinary adventure!
When he spoke again, Qi Qi's voice was so hoarse it didn't even sound like his own: "Brother at the door, please come in and talk."
The man then entered, his face flushed and dark. He kept his head down, not daring to look at Qi Qi, and hurriedly said, "I, I didn't. Look, look at your body... you only had some medicine applied... I live alone for dozens of kilometers around."
Qi Qixin thought he was a woman, so she didn't explain further. She just smiled and said, "Healing and saving lives doesn't discriminate between men and women. We must thank this brother for saving my brother and me. Once we recover, we will repay your great kindness!"
"What is your benefactor's name?"
The man seemed a bit intimidated, his face still flushed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks, it's nothing, it's nothing. My surname is Zhao, just call me Zhao Yong."
Zhao Yong, Qi Qi pondered the name carefully, his eyes lit up, feeling that the face was familiar, but the person in Qi Laibao's memory was wearing a majestic suit of armor.
Zhao Yong tentatively asked, "Girls, how did you end up at the cave entrance?"
Qi Qi: "Brother Zhao, it's a long story. That day, we were chased by our enemies and accidentally fell into the river. We were carried by the whirlpool to a stone cave underground. We searched for a long time before finally finding the entrance."
Zhao Yong was stunned after hearing this: "You guys are really lucky. That cave is a man-eating place in our area. Legend has it that there are countless treasures of gold and silver inside. Dozens of people have gone in one after another, but none of them have come back. I never expected that it would lead to a river."
Qi Qi smiled and said, "Yes, we are really lucky to have met you, Brother Zhao. Otherwise, even if the two of us got out of this cave, we would have been in grave danger."
Zhao Yong glanced at Qi Qi, then lowered his head again.
Qi Qi: "Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Qi and my given name is Qi Qi. My brother's surname is Gu and his given name is Si Yan. Brother Zhao, you can just call me Qi Qi."
Zhao Yong was very puzzled: "Why are you two..."
Qi Qi remained expressionless: "We are half-siblings, which is why we have different surnames. By the way, Brother Zhao, could you give me some water? I'm so thirsty."
Zhao Yong was completely confused by what he said, but upon hearing this, he hurriedly went to pour some water.
