After treating the wounds on Qin Yuehua's hands, Su Yu looked around the cave again, wondering if there was any way to climb up by himself, but suddenly he saw a small tree full of pointed, red, vertical fruits in an inconspicuous corner.

Su Yu couldn't believe it. That, that, that, couldn't be what he was thinking of. Su Yu walked closer and saw that it was the pepper he had always dreamed of. It was indeed a pepper tree, and there were several of them.

Su Yu grinned widely, extremely happy. He quickly moved the tree to his own space, and then happily planted his beloved pepper tree in the open space in the space.

During the time he was not planting trees, Su Yu had already thought of many recipes, including stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried chicken with chili peppers, spicy stewed pork feet, spicy fish fillets, and hot pot. He had been eating very little these days, so this time he went up the mountain and didn't return empty-handed.

He left the space and searched the cave wall again, but found nothing else. However, Su Yu was not disappointed. Being able to gain something was a blessing from heaven. He thanked God for giving him chili peppers and saving the life of this greedy man.

Suddenly, outside the cave entrance, shouts were heard from afar. It didn't sound like Xie An, but a young child. He was shouting, "Brother Su Yu, Brother Su Yu, where are you?", looking for him.

Su Yu quickly shouted in response: "I'm here, I'm here."

Finally, someone responded. The short boy Chen Wang, who was holding a torch, danced with joy. He ran towards the source of the voice with the torch in his hand.

When he ran to the front of the cave, he carefully extended the torch into the cave, lighting up the entire cave. Seeing Su Yu standing in the cave, he excitedly shouted: "Are you Brother Su Yu?"

Su Yu looked at the little boy who suddenly appeared in surprise. He looked only seven or eight years old, short and thin, with dry and yellow hair, which was obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

He held a long wooden stick in his hand. The tip of the stick was wrapped with cloth strips and burning with flames, illuminating the entire cave. Su Yu asked in confusion, "I am Su Yu, who are you?"

The little kid said proudly: "My name is Chen Wang, from Chenjia Village. I told you I could find you." After that, he turned around and ran, shouting: "Brother Luo Chu, Brother Su Yu is here."

Not long after, Xie An and Chen Luochu rushed to the cave entrance with several other children. They all lay down at the entrance and looked inside, trying to see what was going on inside.

Xie An's face was full of anxiety. He had just finished taking care of the affairs with Old Madam Jiang according to his master's instructions. He was worried and told the old lady to go and check on his master. He didn't find the limestone behind the house, so he ran to the place where he dug limestone last time, but still didn't find it. He thought his master must have gone somewhere else to look for something, and since he couldn't find it for a while, he went down the mountain first.

It was not until evening that the master's friend Chen Luochu returned from the private school. The master had not returned yet, and Xie An could no longer sit still.

After telling Chen Luochu that Su Yu had gone up the mountain and had not returned for a long time, Chen Luochu immediately invited the uncles and aunts in the village to come to the mountain together, and also brought three little kids who insisted on going up the mountain.

They had been searching for their master for a long time, from daytime to the moonlit branches. Fortunately, they had found him now. He couldn't wait to ask Su Yu, "Master, how are you? Are you hurt?"

The scholar Chen Luochu's handsome and tender face also revealed anxiety. He frowned and said: "Mr. Su, are you still able to move? Do you want me to carry you on my back?"

Su Yu said: "I'm fine. You throw a rope down, I'll tie it up myself, and then you can pull me up."

After a pause, Su Yu said again: "But there is an unconscious woman in this cave, you should pull her up first."

As Su Yu spoke, he quickly put his outer robe that had fallen aside back on Qin Yuehua to avoid exposing even a little bit of her skin. After all, that era was not as open as the modern era, and if someone saw it, she would lose her reputation.

By the time Su Yu had tidied her clothes, a long thick rope had already been thrown down. Su Yu tied the rope tightly around Qin Yuehua's waist.

Su Yu said to everyone: "It's tied up, pull the rope up quickly."

So Xie An, Chen Luochu, and three other little kids pulled the ropes from front and back, and worked together to pull Qin Yuehua up.

Looking at the unconscious woman being pulled up, Xie An felt strange. Who was this unconscious woman? She was actually wearing the young master's clothes and fell into the cave with him. Xie An had many questions, but he thought he would pull the young master up first. He first held the woman aside and quickly untied the rope around her waist.

The scholar Chen Luochu looked at the woman who was pulled up. He thought that this woman was very beautiful. She must be the woman with the most elegant temperament he had ever seen.

Su Yu was in the cave, waiting for the rope to be lowered again. After Xie An lowered the rope again, Su Yu tied the rope around his waist and shouted upwards: "You can pull the rope now."

Everyone pulled the rope as they did before, and they all tried hard. "Huh?" It didn't move. They tried hard again, and it still didn't move.

Su Yu in the cave, ah, so socially dead, so shameful, so shameful, who wants to take this piece of flesh away, he will give it away for free...

Fortunately, the people outside the cave did not notice his embarrassment. Chen Luochu shyly said to Su Yu: "Mr. Su, don't worry. I am just too weak. I will go and call the villagers for help."

Su Yu felt that this young man was easy to get along with...a good young man...who would always look for his own problems first in everything.

The scholar Chen Luochu shouted in one direction: "Uncle Tieqiu, Aunt Niu, Uncle Daqiang, come here and help, the person has been found."

"Okay," a loud female voice came from the distance.

After a while, a middle-aged aunt came running from a distance, followed by two older uncles. They were all neighbors from the same village as Chen Luochu and lived nearby.

Several people lined up in order. Aunt Niu was the strongest, so she was in the first place, followed by Xie An, then the scholar Chen Luochu, then Uncle Chen Daqiang, Uncle Chen Tieqiu, and then three little kids. Everyone was connected to the rope like eight gourd brothers.

Everyone shouted: "One, two, three, hey, one, two, three again, hey!!!" Following the slogan, they shortened the rope in their hands little by little. After a long time, they finally pulled Su Yu to the edge of the cave entrance.

Then Su Yu supported himself on the ground with his hands and climbed out of the cave nimbly.
