Xu Yuehuai's heart pounded even harder. Could it be that there really were savages in this ancient feudal society? And how to deal with savages?
If humans were to encounter savages in the wild, what strategies and methods would they need to protect themselves?
To be honest, Xu Yuehuai knew almost nothing about it.
Qi Guze didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out, "Take care of yourself."
"And you?"
"I'm going to find something to eat."
The rope was decent, about ten meters long. Logically, ten meters should be enough to go up and down. Qi Guze went up to try it out first and found that he was still more than a hundred meters away from the ground. He shouted, but no one responded. He roared, but no one paid any attention.
He chose to go down, but he was far from the canyon floor. Qi Guze could only look for the eggs of some animals on the cliffs. These eggs were either from eagles or other birds of prey, and he needed to steal them quickly.
Moreover, eggs are so difficult to carry, and the eggs that were finally obtained were easily broken, which inevitably made Qi Guze feel unlucky.
Finally, they arrived inside the cave, and upon closer inspection, they saw Xu Yuehuai sitting in the distance.
Wang Ping'an, lying on the ground, was convulsing and trembling.
Seeing Qi Guze return, Xu Yuehuai finally stopped her wild thoughts and happily called out, "Brother Qi!" Qi Guze nodded, and Xu Yuehuai smiled sweetly. She rushed over and almost hugged him, but she held back in the end. What kind of relationship did they have?
Seeing the girl rush over carefree, Qi Guze smiled and patted her head, "I found the egg, look."
They didn't return with a full load, but it was better than nothing. Xu Yuehuai nodded, "We can only make fried eggs."
In her previous life, Xu Yuehuai had two things she was very good at. First, cooking skills. She had learned Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Chaoshan and Cantonese cuisine, and was very adept at cooking.
Even the most insignificant things could be transformed into delicious dishes by Xu Yuehuai.
The second thing I'm good at is martial arts.
Therefore, when Xu Yuehuai saw eggs, his eyes lit up immediately.
"I'll do it, but it would be great if we could find something else to eat. Are there any mushrooms or ferns on the rocks?"
"There was a golden python, enormous in size."
Xu Yuehuai thought Qi Guze was joking with her and naturally didn't take it to heart. In reality, she had already suffered enough, so she dared not tell Qi Guze anything.
"Is the rope still usable?"
"good."
Qi Guze nodded.
Xu Yuehuai pointed to the dying Wang Ping'an, "He caught a cold while making rope for us, and now he hasn't eaten anything. He looks so pitiful. You take care of him, and I'll go find something to eat."
At this point, Xu Yuehua tied the rope around her waist and was about to go down.
But Qi Guze moved closer and said, "You need to be careful."
"Of course, of course, don't worry, I'll be right back, I won't die."
In fact, Qi Guze had witnessed Xu Yuehuai's superb martial arts skills and naturally understood that she wasn't talking nonsense. Xu Yuehuai left by leaping across the walls and found some ferns and kudzu roots on the cliff, which were all nutritious.
When all of this was revealed, even Qi Guze was taken aback.
"You really found something to eat?"
"This is cassia seed, and this is a pile of droppings from a red and white flying squirrel. In pharmacies, it's called 'Wulingzhi,' which is very expensive. It's used for detoxification, and it can also reduce swelling and relieve pain. It's even more potent than Yunnan Baiyao, and it's specifically for treating bruises and sprains."
"Hmm." Qi Guze nodded, and Xu Yuehuai continued to introduce, "This is yam. I dug it out with a hairpin. It's a pity about my hairpin. This is kudzu root. This can also be eaten."
Xu Yuehuai took out a lot of food in one go. Although it was covered in mud, it was a rare treat for everyone who was starving at the moment.
Xu Yuehuai made something delicious, and although it had no seasonings or even any condiments, it was surprisingly fragrant.
Wang Ping'an opened his eyes amidst the fragrant aroma.
"Eat quickly, don't die, or all our efforts will be wasted," Xu Yuehuai said as she brought food to Wang Ping'an. "You need to eat more, so that you can outsmart us once you're healthy enough to get out here."
Wang Ping'an remained silent in the face of ridicule and sarcasm.
After finally finishing their food, everyone prepared to rest.
But at that moment, Xu Yuehuai suddenly heard an animal cry. She turned her head and saw a dark shadow that looked like a human in the flickering flames.
The dark figure quickly blended into the night, giving her almost no time to observe.
By the third day of their ordeal, all three were exhausted, and Xu Yuehuai couldn't find any more food.
She got up, went close to the cliff, and began to write with charcoal.
Qi Guze watched Xu Yuehuai write furiously in simplified Chinese characters, which made him even more curious.
What are you writing?
"Little Xu was here. Time travel is pure nonsense. I'm never coming back." Xu Yuehuai was still laughing when Qi Guze's smile vanished. He suddenly went black and fainted.
Xu Yuehuai also lay down in front of Qi Guze and fainted as well.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Guze spoke as if in a dream, "There were indeed poisonous snakes here, and I killed one."
"A poisonous snake?" At first, Xu Yuehuai thought the man was talking in his sleep, but upon hearing this, her heart raced. Judging from Qi Guze's condition, he was most likely poisoned.
She didn't notice it at all.
"You were bitten?" With her last bit of strength, Xu Yuehuai sat up and looked at Qi Guze with concern. She really was a real scatterbrain.
I couldn't tell at all.
"I won't die." Qi Guze shook his head.
"Are you married?" Xu Yuehuai asked as she searched for his wounds.
Qi Guze shook his head. "Not yet. What? Are you going to repay me with your body?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew you wouldn't die. Alright, alright, where are you hurt? I'll save you." This was also a required course for Xu Yuehuai in her previous life. She quickly found the wound. From the two symmetrical small holes, Xu Yuehuai knew what the situation was.
She asked Qi Guze to describe the appearance and color of the venomous snake.
They immediately started talking about it.
Once everything was in place, Xu Yuehuai began sucking on her wound, spitting out dark blood. Seeing the pus and blood coming out, Xu Yuehuai took out the Five Spirits Oil and said, "Be good, listen to me, eat half and apply the other half."
"Is this edible?"
"Eat it whether you can or not, life is precious, haha." After serving Qi Guze the Five Spirits Fat, Xu Yuehuai felt weak and fainted.
On the cliff, the group searched everywhere, but found no clues.
Tie Xiong's men went to deliver silver to Zhou Wan, and inadvertently told Zhou Wan about it.
