When people suddenly go blind, they can't help but feel a bit anxious.
"Who... who's touching my leg!" Chen Maohua exclaimed, accompanied by a commotion and a dull pain.
"Sorry, it was me. I accidentally touched it. I didn't know you were next to my hand, Brother Chen," Justin said apologetically. There seemed to be a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
Su Yanke heard the commotion around her. She silently recited a slogan in her heart and took out the purple copper coin.
After being activated by Su Yanke, the purple copper coin glowed with a purple light. Although it wasn't very bright, it was enough to light up this small cave.
The people in the cave fell silent for a moment because of the light.
The scene was in chaos. Chen Maohua, who had shouted the loudest just now, was being pinned to the ground by Justin. Justin's face was red, and he kept avoiding eye contact with Chen Maohua beneath him.
Su Yanke just glanced at them. She felt a bit strange but didn't think too much about it.
The photographer, who was the last one to be pulled in by Su Yanke, was thrown onto the snow. Fortunately, there were no ice mounds on the ground, or it might have been really troublesome.
Su Yanke looked at the others. Everyone was just shivering slightly from the cold. Other than that, they were fine. No one was unconscious.
At this time, there was a movement beneath Su Yanke. She looked down and saw Fu Huayan staring at her expressionlessly.
"How long do you plan to keep touching me?" Fu Huayan's soft voice came.
Su Yanke shifted her gaze downward. Her hand was still on his chest, just from one side to the other. When she was taking out the purple copper coin just now, she was reciting the incantation in her heart and didn't notice where her other hand was propped.
Su Yanke quickly withdrew her hand and squeezed it uneasily.
Fu Huayan noticed her small gesture. His eyes darkened, and he leaned closer to whisper in Su Yanke's ear in his original voice, "Does it feel good?"
Su Yanke didn't expect him to say such a thing at all. Her face turned red instantly, and she quickly moved away from Fu Huayan.
The place was already small. How far could she move away?
What Su Yanke didn't notice was that after she moved away from Fu Huayan, his face paled a bit. Because of the kidnapping last time, although his head injury was treated in time, the lack of proper post - treatment recuperation made his head start to hurt again.
Fu Huayan didn't want to distract Su Yanke. In this situation, finding a way out was the most important thing.
"Sister Yanke, it's good that you took us to find a cave to hide in time. Otherwise, I really don't dare to think what would have happened. Sister Yanke, you're really amazing!"
After Justin could see clearly, he quickly got off Chen Maohua. After his mind calmed down and he thought about what had happened before, he felt a shiver of fear.
"It was just a coincidence. A sudden loud noise on the snow - covered mountain might trigger an avalanche. I was just worried, and unexpectedly, it really happened," Su Yanke said.
Everyone knew what she meant. If Su Yanke was just worried, she wouldn't have been so nervous and urged them to follow her quickly. It was obvious that Su Yanke had noticed it earlier. She just didn't want to admit it, and they didn't expose her either. But they remembered this favor.
"I heard there's no sound outside. Has it stopped? How are we going to get out? Dig with our hands?"
The photographer, who was the last one to be pulled in by Su Yanke, asked. Although he was asking everyone, his eyes were on Su Yanke.
Su Yanke stood up and walked around the surrounding walls.
Everyone thought that Su Yanke was pacing to think of a way out, but actually, she was using her spiritual power to detect the terrain here. She originally wanted to find out where was closest to the ground, but she found that there was more to this cave.
Su Yanke stopped at a certain place and squatted down. Suddenly, she said to Chen Maohua, "Maomao, pass me the shovel!"
Without saying a word, Chen Maohua gave it to her. He didn't even ask why they were digging from inside the cave. Wouldn't they dig deeper if they dug here?
At this time, discussions about various survival methods started on the Internet. After the incident of losing the camera in the desert last time, the director was more prepared. This time, instead of preparing cameras, he directly installed cameras on everyone's chests and hats. They were light and convenient.
Sure enough, they came in handy now.
At first, when netizens saw Su Yanke suddenly ordering everyone to follow her and move forward quickly as if they were risking their lives, they said that Su Yanke was too eager for success. Was she so impatient with everyone and had to rush to find the flag?
The subsequent avalanche left them speechless.
Then there was a flurry of praise. Those black fans were already extremely angry. Now, seeing Su Yanke's so - called "stupid self - rescue", they immediately started to attack.
"Su Yanke is such an idiot! Even the most stupid person wouldn't choose to dig there!"
"That's right. My three - year - old nephew wouldn't choose that place either!"
They originally had a lot more mean words to say, but then they saw something that left them dumbfounded.
Su Yanke shoveled once, and there was only snow. After digging a small gap there, she moved to the other side and dug a small gap in the same way.
Then she stood up, took a big step back, and threw the shovel at a certain point above the snow wall. Then the seemingly extremely tough wall just shattered.
The white fur on Su Yanke's collar fluttered around her neck.
"Is... is this a natural tunnel?" the old - fashioned photographer asked.
Fu Huayan said calmly, "Artificial."
Artificial?
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. How could there be an artificial tunnel here?
Su Yanke was holding some small stones she had found at the entrance of the cave. She was originally just a bit puzzled about why there were small stones that weren't buried here. When she picked up one and took a look, her brows furrowed.
There was a pattern on these stones that she was very familiar with. It was a hand gesture she had embroidered casually when she gave Xiaobao that backpack. She had accidentally drawn the line crooked on the fingernail of that hand, and she had specially added a small diamond ring.
That's why she could be sure at a glance that this was the pattern she had drawn.
What was going on? And the stove she saw on the grassland. Was all of this really just a coincidence? Or...
Before Su Yanke could think further, she saw everyone's gazes on her, not on the purple copper coin in her hand.
The cave was pitch - black. Su Yanke had Fu Huayan on her left and Chen Maohua on her right. The others were hiding behind the three of them.
After walking for about ten minutes, Su Yanke suddenly smelled a very strange odor, as if it was a mixture of many scents.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, someone let out a pained cry. The sound wasn't very loud, even just a bit louder than the sound of breathing, but in the quiet tunnel, it was extremely noticeable.
Su Yanke: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Maohua: "N... nothing. I just accidentally got scratched by something."
Su Yanke moved the purple copper coin towards Chen Maohua and saw that a lot of small blood beads were constantly oozing from Chen Maohua's finger. Chen Maohua wiped them off, but they kept coming out.
Just as Su Yanke was about to deal with it, a hand reached out from behind her ear.
"Use this cloth to wrap it first," Justin said, holding out a small strip of cloth with some threads on it.
Su Yanke looked back along Justin's hand and found that this strip of cloth was torn from Justin's clothes. It was obvious that the clothes had been torn before.
Justin noticed Su Yanke looking at him. His face blushed slightly, and he said, "This clothes is designed to be torn easily. N... not in that way. I mean when this clothes was designed, it was easy to tear. It's not this meaning either. It's just..."
The more Justin said, the more it sounded ambiguous. His face got redder, and he even started to wave his hands around anxiously.
Fu Huayan couldn't stand it anymore and explained for his younger brother, "It's a kind of cloth that's easy to carry. If something is missing and you urgently need to bandage a wound to control the bleeding, this kind of clothes can be very convenient."
Justin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!"
Su Yanke also nodded to show that she understood, then shifted her gaze to Chen Maohua to see if he needed help.
But with just a glance, she noticed something on the wall.
Because there was nothing on the wall when they first came in, they didn't pay attention to it later.
Chen Maohua was groping around with his hand because he was worried about unnoticed forks in the road in the dark. There had been no problems before, so the sudden stabbing pain made him unable to hold back the cry.
Su Yanke didn't know much about plants. She had never seen the plant on the wall before and was very unfamiliar with it. She didn't know what it was, but there were people on the Internet who knew more.
They took screenshots and searched on the Internet, but they still found nothing.
"Damn it! What is this thing? Why can't I find any information about it?"
"Where on earth have they gone? Why haven't they reached the end yet?"
"Humph. Who knows? She just can't stop causing trouble."
"I know! I know!!"
"What do you know? There's no information in the database. Where did you find out?"
"My great - grandfather is a plant researcher. I didn't find any information just now, so I asked him on a whim. Unexpectedly, I really got an answer."
"Really? Then tell us quickly what it is!"
"My great - grandfather said that this is the Bone - Drying Vine that disappeared a long time ago. Its medicinal value is extremely high. It can enhance the efficacy of medicine. That is, if you add it to medicine, you can reduce the amount of the original medicine by four - fifths!"
"My God! Is it that amazing? If so, how much medical medicine can we save!!!"
"Ah! Where is this place? I want to go there right now and take this thing back and hand it over to the country. How much less would our medical expenses be each year!"
