It was getting dark, and soon nothing would be visible. The search team had searched the distance from where the large rock had fallen to the exit of the ravine many times.
It is now certain that Marquis Zhengyang and the Princess were not in this area, nor were they swept away by the flood. So where did they go? Why couldn't they have gone to the upper reaches of the mountain stream? This possibility can be completely ruled out.
Let's leave, or we'll have to spend the night here. The group dragged each other and struggled to climb up to the cave.
The group planned to spend the night in the cave and head upstream to search early the next morning, as they believed they had searched all the places they could think of.
Inside the cave, people lit several bonfires. The villagers who had arrived earlier had already dried their clothes. When the searchers returned, the villagers added some firewood to the fires.
The villagers silently watched the fire, knowing that the Marquis of Zhengyang and the princess had not been found. What should they do next?
It was quite unexpected that we could still find firewood after so many days of rain.
In fact, when villagers usually gather firewood, if they gather too much and can't carry it all back at once, they temporarily store it in the cave. They never expected it to come in handy now.
Most of the villagers took some food with them when they fled the village, so they were not short of food for the time being.
Li Xue's guards and Zhao Xian's entourage ate by the fire in silence, still wondering where Marquis Zhengyang and the princess had gone.
At first they were indeed very anxious, but now they are not anxious anymore. Who is Marquis Zhengyang? He is an extraordinary person in the Great Northern Dynasty, comparable to a god. There is nothing he cannot do.
Perhaps in the instant they fell off the cliff, Marquis Zhengyang took the princess and the little girl away to a very safe place, but no one else knew it.
The group's guess was correct; Zhao Xian had indeed brought Li Xue and the little girl to a place unknown to others—the storage space within Zhao Xian's system.
When the little girl was in danger, Li Xue jumped onto a large rock and pulled her to safety.
At this moment, Zhao Xian reached out to pull Li Xue up, but at that critical moment, the large rock under Li Xue's feet loosened, and she fell into the ravine without warning.
Li Xue didn't want Zhao Xian to fall with her, so she quickly told him to let go of her hand. But how could Zhao Xian possibly let go of Li Xue's hand at that moment?
Unprepared, Zhao Xian fell down the ravine with Li Xue.
The ravine is very deep; if you fall in, even if you don't die from the fall, you'll break your bones and tendons.
As they fell, a system notification appeared in Zhao Xian's mind.
"Should we bring two assistants to the storage space?"
Needless to say, Zhao Xian confirmed it instantly.
When Li Xue fell, she must have hit a protruding rock on the cliff face. After entering the storage space, Li Xue fainted.
The little girl was very young and didn't understand anything. What had just happened terrified her, and only then did she start to cry.
Zhao Xian didn't care about anything else. He checked Li Xue first and found that she was not injured. She had just been knocked unconscious by the impact and would wake up soon.
Seeing that Li Xue was alright, Zhao Xian felt relieved and handed a bag of snacks to the little girl.
The little girl was very well-behaved; she stopped crying as soon as she received the snacks and began to eat them heartily.
Perhaps this was ordained by fate. If Li Xue were to enter the space conscious, it would be difficult to explain everything that had happened to her, and my secret would be exposed.
Fortunately, Li Xue was already unconscious and unaware of the current situation.
The little girl is only three or four years old. She doesn't know anything, so there's nothing to worry about.
All three of them had wet clothes, so they had to find a way to dry them. Zhao Xian thought for a moment and then bought a hair dryer to dry the wet clothes first.
After all this commotion, Li Xue will probably wake up soon. We need to think of a solution quickly, because things will get more complicated once she's fully awake.
Zhao Xian quickly came up with a solution. He got a large cloth bag, put Li Xue and the little girl inside, and then found some supports to prop up the bag from the inside, making it look like a tent.
Then seal the bag tightly. If you need to go out, simply cut the bag open.
Inside the cloth bag, light and air are permeable. Although you can't see what's outside, you can see everything inside clearly while inside the bag.
Zhao Xian also got some food and drink, so that he could keep the food in his pocket for several days without any problem.
Next, they just had to wait for Li Xue to wake up. Zhao Xian had already prepared his explanation, and Li Xue shouldn't suspect anything.
The little girl looked around the supported space, seemingly very fond of it, eating snacks while observing everything inside.
At this moment, Li Xue slowly opened her eyes. She was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
"Princess, you're awake. We're in a life pod right now. It's isolated from the outside world and very safe, but you can't move around too much."
"Life bag? Where is this place? How did we get here?" Li Xue became increasingly curious.
“Princess, do you remember that you just rescued a little girl? I reached out to grab you and pull you up, but the big rock under your feet suddenly slipped, and all three of us fell into the ravine.”
"Yes, I remember now. Brother Zhao reached out to pull me up, but the big rock suddenly rolled down and we both fell. I remember I seemed to hit something and then I passed out."
Brother Zhao said we were in a lifeboat, but what exactly happened? How did we get in here?
"The life bag is a very magical thing. During our fall, I remembered that I had a life bag on me, so I immediately opened it and went into the life bag before we hit the ground."
Once inside the life bag, it automatically sews itself shut, isolating the user from the outside world and ensuring safety. Only after confirming safety can the life bag be opened to allow the user to escape.
Once the life jacket opens, it can no longer protect us, so be very careful when going outside and only go out after you've confirmed it's safe to do so.
Zhao Xian's words surprised Li Xue greatly, and she said:
"So that's how it is. I never imagined there were such amazing things in the world."
"Let's check if the princess is injured first."
Li Xue checked herself and found that she felt no pain, her clothes were dry, and the place was neither too hot nor too cold, which was quite comfortable.
"Brother Zhao, I'm not injured and I feel great. I remember I was soaked when I fell down the mountain, but I didn't expect my clothes to be dry when I got into the rescue bag. That's amazing."
"Oh right, there was a little girl who fell down with us. Where is she?" Li Xue suddenly became nervous.
“Princess, don’t worry, the child is alright, she’s been saved. You can see her as soon as you sit up.”
"Really? That's great." Li Xue said, then sat up.
"That's right," Brother Zhao said, adding that he and several others had already entered the life-saving bag. "This bag is really huge; there are several frames inside, like a tent."
