Zhao Xian had told Li Xue that as long as they cut open the life bag with a knife, they could come out into the outside world, and the life bag would lose its protective function.
Li Xue took the knife, glanced at the contents of the bag, and felt a little reluctant to leave as she was about to depart.
Zhao Xian picked up the little girl and said:
“Princess, use the knife to cut open the life bag. I will take care of the little girl. If we encounter any danger, we will immediately crawl out of the bag and escape.”
Li Xue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll cut the bag open now. Brother Zhao, you'd better be ready."
Just as Li Xue raised her knife to cut open the bag, Zhao Xian activated the system, and a prompt panel appeared in his mind.
"Should we take two helpers with us when we leave the storage space?"
Zhao Xian immediately confirmed. At this moment, Li Xue had already cut open the bag, and then they heard the rushing water and birdsong.
Zhao Xian knew that the three of them had come out of the storage space, along with the huge white cloth bag.
For Zhao Xian, this was also his first experience: taking two people into the storage space and then coming out of it, all without anyone noticing.
The three disappeared into thin air, and everyone around them searched the world for them, but they couldn't find them.
Two days later, they reappeared. He didn't need to explain anything; Li Xue was there, and she would explain.
Li Xue cut a large hole in the bag, and the three of them crawled out and began to look around.
They soon realized that the three of them were at the bottom of the valley, with the boulder that had rolled down from the mountain that day right beneath their feet. They were standing on the boulder.
"We're finally out! This is amazing, it's like going to another world and then coming back from another world."
The little girl was very happy and clapped her hands and shouted.
"They're out, they're out!"
As soon as the three of them got off the big rock, Li Xue saw two large creatures wriggling in the stream and couldn't help but scream.
"Brother Zhao, look what this is, it's so scary."
Zhao Xian took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised. These were two wild giant salamanders, also known as Chinese giant salamanders, each weighing more than ten kilograms. This was a rare delicacy.
In modern times, eating wild giant salamanders is illegal, but this was not the case in ancient times. Since I had stumbled upon this opportunity, how could I pass it up?
"Princess, these are called giant salamanders. They are known as ginseng of the water and are a rare and nourishing delicacy. They are absolutely top-quality food. Don't let them escape. Catch them quickly."
"These two are too big. We have nowhere to put them after we catch them, and we didn't bring any baskets. What are we going to do?"
"Let's use a life bag to carry them. The life bag has been cut open and is no longer useful, but it can be used to carry the giant salamander."
After Zhao Xian finished speaking, he put the little girl down and started catching the giant salamander with Li Xue.
The giant salamander was big and slippery, and it started to dart away, making it really hard to catch.
At this time, Li Guang had already arrived with his men. The people searching the reservoir saw Li Guang and quickly went to greet him.
"General Li, Marquis Zhengyang and the princess fell into a ravine while rescuing people and have gone missing. We have been searching for them for two days without success."
Li Xue's guards burst into tears. They had failed to protect the princess and didn't know how to explain it to the Fourth Prince.
"Where is that mountain stream? Take me there quickly!" Li Guang asked anxiously.
"It's over there; the entrance to the mountain stream leads to the reservoir."
After the guard finished speaking, he led Li Guang toward the entrance of the mountain stream.
Soon the group arrived at the mountain stream, and seeing the flowing water, Li Guang asked:
“What came out of the mountain stream must have been a flash flood. How big was that flood? Was it possible that it could have swept people away?”
"The flood was indeed large, but the current was not fast. The princess and the Marquis of Zhengyang had just fallen in when we followed them down the ravine, but we couldn't find them. We followed the flood all the way to the exit, but we still couldn't find them."
The mountain stream has several sharp bends, so the floodwaters can't move very fast. We're running faster than the floodwaters, so we can be certain they weren't swept away.
“Since they weren’t swept away, that makes things easier. Let’s search carefully again; we’re sure to find them,” Li Guang said.
The group walked along the mountain stream. As they walked, Li Guang observed both sides of the stream. With Li Xue's skills, climbing from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain would be no problem at all.
Li Guang didn't believe they would get into trouble. Brother Zhao had plenty of tricks up his sleeve; even if they encountered great difficulties, he could find a way to resolve them. With Brother Zhao around, Li Xue would be fine.
After walking for a while, they noticed some movement ahead; although they couldn't see it, they could hear it.
"Brother Zhao, I've held it down. Quickly bring the bag over."
"Okay, I'll go get the bag."
"Got it! Got it! You're so awesome, sister!"
These are clearly the voices of Zhao Xian, Li Xue, and the little girl.
"It's the voices of Marquis Zhengyang and the Princess! They're up ahead!" Overjoyed, everyone rushed forward.
After rounding a sharp bend, the group finally saw what lay ahead: Zhao Xian and Li Xue were holding onto something in the stream, while a little girl danced with joy beside them.
This is such a pleasant surprise! Marquis Zhengyang and the princess should be catching fish in the stream. They are safe and sound, and even the little girl is unharmed.
The two were focused on catching the giant salamander and did not notice that Li Guang had arrived with a large group of people.
“Princess Zhengyang, we have finally found you.” Li Xue’s guards wept with joy.
Only then did the two realize that the crowd had arrived beside them, and Li Guang had also come.
The two straightened up, but the salamander that had just been held down slipped away again.
"You've come at the right time. There are two giant salamanders here. Brother Zhao says they're like ginseng from the water, an unparalleled delicacy. Quickly catch them before they escape."
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward and quickly caught the two giant salamanders.
"Li Guang, you're here too! We're alright, look, we're perfectly fine," Li Xue said excitedly.
"Yes, Sister and Brother Zhao fell off a cliff while trying to save someone and have been missing for two days. So many people are searching for you, but no one has found any trace of you. Where did you go?"
“We didn’t go anywhere. We just stayed on this big rock. We crawled into a life bag and stayed in the life bag for two days. As soon as we came out of the life bag, we found two giant salamanders.”
Seeing the giant salamander trying to escape, I climbed down from the big rock to catch it, but I didn't expect you to come.
Upon hearing this, Li Guang found it unbelievable and incomprehensible, so he asked:
"Life bag, what life bag?"
"It's that big white bag on the rock. We ripped the life bag when we came out, so it's no longer needed."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the large rock beside them, and sure enough, there was a huge white cloth bag on the rock, at least as big as a mosquito net.
