This place doesn't look like a trap dug by a hunter, but rather like a cave.

There were withered grass growing on the ground, so it was hard for ordinary people to find it. When she fell down just now, she had opened a hole, but now it looked only as big as a bowl, so it was still hard for people on the ground to find any clues.

Shen Qingqian thought, it's over! If she can't find a way to save herself, it will be difficult for her to get out!

However, after struggling for so long, she was really tired, and her arm was injured, so she thought about taking a rest first and then figure out how to climb out.

The cave was not big, dark and damp inside. But there were also dead branches and rotten leaves all over the ground, which was why she did not get hurt when she fell.

Shen Qingqian looked around and found a corner to sit down. She untied the blood-stained handkerchief on her arm and applied medicine.

She prepared the injury contract when she came to the capital and always carried it with her.

Then he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and bandaged it again. Then he blew out the fire and closed his eyes to rest.

On the mountain outside, Shen Qingfeng and his companions followed the traces of horse hooves, looking for Shen Qingqian.

It was about to get dark, and each of them was extremely anxious.

"Qingqian!"

"girl!"

Liu Shuyao and Yingzi shouted all the way until their voices were almost hoarse, but only their own voices could be heard, with no sign of Shen Qingqian at all.

Soon, it was completely dark and the tracks left by the horses' hooves could no longer be seen.

Shen Qingfeng, who was always calm and composed, frowned deeply, with worry written all over his face.

Yingzi and Liu Shuyao were also extremely anxious and cried several times along the way.

Only Zhang Sheng looked calm. He believed that Shen Qingqian was just a horse. With Shen Qingqian's ability, he would be able to overcome the danger.

He said, "Let's find a place to rest. I'll go chop some firewood and find some food. If we can't find the girl today, I'm afraid we'll have to stay here. We still need to make some preparations."

Shen Qingfeng quickly regained his sanity and agreed, "Mr. Zhang is right. We need to rest and eat to conserve our energy so that we can continue to look for Qing Qian."

Yingzi said, "There are our luggage and dry food in the carriage. I'll go back and get them."

Zhang Sheng and Yingzi both left, and Shen Qingfeng and Liu Shuyao found a suitable place and waited for them.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Sheng still hadn't returned, but in the distance, a sound of horses neighing could be heard.

Shen Qingfeng's eyes suddenly became clear, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Is Qingqian back?"

He was so excited that he stood up and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Liu Shuyao also stood up, her heart in her throat, praying in her heart that the person riding the horse was Shen Qingqian.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and their hearts were getting more and more excited.

Finally, the horses stopped in front of them, and two people jumped off the horses one after another.

It’s not Shen Qingqian, it’s Yingzi, and the other one is Zhao Yichen!

"Lord Zhao...

No! The Five Emperors..."

Zhao Yichen raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Don't worry about my identity. Tell me where Qing Qian is. I will go find her right away!"

Shen Qingfeng didn't know why Zhao Yichen appeared here, but it was best that he was willing to help find Qingqian.

So he pointed in a direction and said, "It should be over there. The direction of the horse's hooves has always been that way."

"Okay, just wait here, I will definitely find Qing Qian back."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Before Shen Qingfeng could ask, Yingzi spoke up, “When I got to where the carriage was parked, I saw Master Zhao standing next to the carriage, looking around.

I didn't recognize him at first, and thought he was a thief who wanted to steal things from our carriage! He recognized me first, ran over and asked me where the girl was!

I told him what happened today, and then he asked me to lead the way, saying he wanted to find a girl. "

Shen Qingqian had already rested for an hour. She knew it was already dark, so she could just stay in the cave for one night and find a way out tomorrow morning.

However, she didn't want to make the others worry. How anxious would they be if they couldn't find her in the dark night?

So she decided to find a way to go up now.

Shen Qingqian gathered the dead branches and leaves on the ground together and lit them up, and the cave instantly became bright.

The ground is about 5 meters high from the hole above, but the hole seems to be a gourd-shaped thing with a big belly and a small opening, making it difficult to climb up!

Shen Qingqian now began to envy the ancient people's martial arts skills. If it were Yingzi, she would definitely be able to fly up!

However, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so she found a suitable wall and started chiseling it with a dagger.

Her dagger was the one Zhou Susu had given her before. It was extremely sharp and could cut through iron like mud.

After a while, a dozen small steps were chiseled out on the wall of the cave.

After sweating a little, she felt thirsty. But she didn't bring any water with her, and there was no water here. She couldn't help but have a headache. What should she do?

Shen Qingqian was a little annoyed and punched the wall.

"hiss……

pain!"

Shen Qingqian shook her hands and jumped in pain.

She had just checked and found that there were basically no stones on the wall here, only loess. How did she happen to hit a stone with her fist?

Just as she was kneading her right hand with her left hand, she suddenly heard a "boom" and a crack appeared on the wall next to the stone she hit. Then the crack got bigger and bigger, and it turned out to be a moving stone door!

Behind the stone gate is a passage, about one meter wide and two meters high.

Looking at the dark entrance, Shen Qingqian was stunned. The first thought in her mind was, could this be the exit?

She picked up a few branches, tied them together, and lit them on the fire to make a torch. She took it to the entrance of the passage and shook it. She could only see about two meters within the area. She couldn't see anything, and couldn't hear any sound.

Shen Qingqian walked in slowly and carefully.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, Shen Qingqian saw a turn ahead. He slowed down his pace, alerted himself, and followed the track.

Suddenly, the view in front of me opened up to a very flat cave about 30 square meters in size.

Shen Qingqian didn't dare to move forward. She stood there and looked around.

The most eye-catching thing is that there is a misty pool here, which should be a hot spring to be more precise.

There are two large rocks next to the hot spring pool. In the gap between the rocks, there are two plants growing. Shen Qingqian couldn't see clearly what they were, but she could only see that they were two completely different plants.

As the torch in her hand turned, Shen Qingqian's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed, because she seemed to have really seen the exit here!

She saw that there was also a passage on the opposite side. It was very short, at most two meters long, and it was slanted upwards. But Shen Qingqian followed the passage and happened to see the not-quite-round moon in the sky!

After observation, Shen Qingqian could roughly imagine that the shape of this cave was similar to a teapot, and the passage opposite was like a tea spout.
