"Baa~!" At the entrance of the cave, a goat was looking down, as if asking them what they were doing down there.
"Grandfather, what do we do now? We can't get up there." Xu Qingshi was about to cry.
He never expected that he would suffer so much this time.
Not only did he almost get burned to death, but he also ran away from home and was kidnapped. Now, he's fallen into this pit somewhere in the dark. With no one around, are he and Li Tianyou going to wait here to die?
"How about I lift you up, and you can try to find someone to rescue me?" Li Tianyou asked cautiously, looking at the height of the cave entrance.
"Grandfather, are you sure I can find someone outside if I go out?" Xu Qingshi thought about the scene they saw when they came, and he didn't think he could find anyone.
"The problem is, even if you're here, I can't get up here," Li Tianyou said, troubled. After all, Xu Qingshi was such a small person that he couldn't offer any help in getting up.
"Do you think we're going to starve to death here?" Xu Qingshi thought, and she was about to cry.
He hasn't had enough of his good days yet.
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Qingshi realized that he had been hit by something.
"Ouch!"
After Xu Qingshi cried out in pain, he looked up at the cave entrance. At that moment, a monkey was grinning at the two of them.
What was just thrown down was a wild fruit.
"Grandfather, there's a monkey!" Xu Qingshi was still a child, and he was very excited when he saw the little monkey.
“The monkeys can’t pull us.” Li Tianyou glanced at the little monkey, and finally shook his head in disappointment.
“Oh, Grandfather, maybe the little monkey can pull us along. At least he can feed us.” Xu Qingshi said, then picked up a wild fruit and took a bite.
Instantly, Xu Qingshi's brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Li Tianyou was startled when he saw this, thinking, "Could it be poisonous?"
"It's so...so sour!" Xu Qingshi was almost in tears; he had never eaten anything so sour before.
"Haha, there are wild fruits all over this mountain, it's normal for them to be sour. This was shared with you by the little monkey," Li Tianyou said with a smile.
"Grandfather, you'd better think of a way to get up here quickly!" Xu Qingshi was in a bad mood because he hadn't been able to eat any good fruit and was trapped in this pit.
"Let me think about it." Li Tianyou sat down and scratched at the edge of the pit with his hand.
Unfortunately, he had no tools and could only pry it off with his hands.
When he first started digging, he only felt that the soil was a bit hard.
He dug for a long time, but only managed to dig down a few stones.
“Grandfather, this stone can actually glow!” Xu Qingshi picked up a stone from the side and found it quite strange.
Xu Qingshi picked up the stone and thought it was quite pretty.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou, who had been hoping to dig a path, quickly picked up the stone and examined it.
This stone seems a little different.
“Grandfather, this is the first time I’ve ever seen this stone,” Xu Qingshi said excitedly as he quickly moved closer to Li Tianyou.
"I must say, this stone is definitely different." Li Tianyou said with a smile, looking at Xu Qingshi's expectant face.
“Grandfather, do you think this could be some kind of gemstone?” Xu Qingshi suddenly remembered the stories he had heard in the teahouse about digging up precious stones.
He wondered to himself, "Could he have also gotten lucky and found some gems?"
"That's possible!" Li Tianyou didn't take it to heart. At this moment, he was only thinking about how they could get out.
However, at this point, Li Tianyou was no longer digging with his bare hands, but was digging with stones.
