The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Although Xu Yi moved very slowly, he eventually reached the bottom of the slope safely.

"Okay, you can come down now. Remember, don't grab the wrong spot."

Xu Yi glanced at the torch in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you can throw the torch down first."

She couldn't get down with one hand.

Josie looked at the torch and did as he said.

Just now, it seemed like it wasn't difficult for him to climb down the rock wall, but when he actually did it, he realized it was very difficult.

Coupled with her foot injury, the difficulty increased significantly.

But she had no way out.

It took Qiao Xi almost two or three times longer than Xu Yi to get to the bottom of the slope.

Fortunately, there was no danger.

By the time she reached the bottom of the slope, her clothes were almost completely soaked. She felt like she was about to collapse, and her feet were extremely swollen.

She now only had two feelings, one was tiredness and the other was thirst. As for her feet, they were in so much pain that she was almost numb.

Speaking of thirst, she hadn't had any water for several hours.

Qiao Xi felt that even if she was given a basin of water, she would drink it all up immediately.

"What do we do now?"

Qiao Xi swallowed her saliva, trying to relieve her hunger and thirst, then slumped to the ground without caring about her image, asking Xu Yi while checking the injury on her foot.

When she lifted up her trouser legs, she saw that her ankles were red and swollen. Her originally slender ankles had become as thick as the branches of a small tree.

"Nothing to do."

Xu Yi looked at her sitting on the ground and frowned with some disapproval, but when he saw Qiao Xi's feet, he was stunned for a moment and quickly looked away.

"Did sister-in-law hurt any bones?"

After checking, Qiao Xi lowered her trouser legs. When she heard him ask this, she whispered, "It's probably just a sprained muscle."

If her bones were injured, she would probably have been unable to move due to the pain.

After saying that, she swallowed a few more times, but it didn't relieve the thirst. Instead, she felt more and more thirsty.

Looking around, Qiao Xi's hopeful eyes gradually dimmed.

There was nothing to be seen at the bottom of the slope except some trees and not even a trace of water.

No, she had to find a way to get something to drink, otherwise she would die of thirst before anyone could rescue them.

It would be nice if it rained a little now.

She looked up at the sky. A faint moonlight poured down, and there was not even a shadow of a dark cloud. It was impossible for it to rain.

Dejected, she looked at Xu Yi and discovered that he had been busy since reaching the bottom of the slope.

He touched here and looked there, as if looking for a way out.

way out?

Suddenly, an idea came to Qiao Xi's mind.

Yes, how could she have forgotten it.

While Xu Yi wasn't paying attention to her, Qiao Xi lowered her head and spoke quietly to the system.

"System, turn on positioning."

【Location is turned on.】

"Help me find the route back to Xuliu Village."

[…Location complete. Navigation has found two routes. The first route allows the host to go down the cliff from here and find a way out. The second route allows the host to go up from here and find a way out.]

After hearing what the system said, Qiao Xi was so angry that she wanted to curse.

She couldn't take either of these two paths. It was pointless to ask.

"Search for a nearby source of drinkable water."

Let her try another one, we have to solve one for her.

[…Location complete. Navigation has found a source of drinking water below the cliff.]

This time she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Is it necessary to jump off this cliff?

Then she might as well die of thirst.

Humph! If she dies, the system will disappear with her.

[Alert! Alert! The host's life is threatened. Danger, danger. Beep—]

Perhaps the system heard Qiao Xi's threat, but it suddenly made a harsh sound.

Qiao Xi instinctively covered her ears, but she forgot that the sound was in her head and covering her ears was useless.

After realizing this, she reluctantly put her hands down, snorting angrily, waiting for the harsh sound to disappear on its own.

Just as she was trying her best to endure it, the shrill sound stopped without any warning. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi was a little happy.

[System update completed. Due to the host's life being threatened, the system space is forced to open. The host can use consciousness to view and take anything in the space.]

Qiao Xi couldn't believe what she heard. Thinking of the other functions the system had told her before, she thought to herself, was this a blessing in disguise?

But she also felt that there was no need for the system to deceive her.

So she closed her eyes and thought about entering the space in her mind. Afraid that the system couldn't hear her, she repeated it silently twice.

As soon as the voice fell, she felt her eyes light up.

The light was so bright that even with her eyes closed, she could feel a little uncomfortable.

She endured the discomfort and slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at everything in front of her, Qiao Xi thought she had traveled through time and space again.

This space is actually larger than her original laboratory, about two hundred square meters.

She looked into the distance and saw a house, and most importantly, she heard the sound of water.

Is there water?

Qiao Xi was overjoyed and tried to follow the sound of water to find it.

But just as she had this thought, her eyes blurred.

In an instant, it stopped.

When she saw everything clearly, she was so shocked that her mouth opened wide for a long time.

In this space, she could teleport? Just as she was exclaiming in amazement, she looked down and saw a stream.

The water in the stream gurgled and slowly flowed into a small pond.

The water in the pond is extremely clear and you can see the bottom at a glance.

Qiao Xi looked around and suddenly frowned, because she looked up the stream and did not see the source of the stream.

But soon her brows relaxed, and she thought that if she couldn't see it, then she couldn't see it. This space was a magical existence, and it was not surprising that some of the things in it were strange.

Slowly squatting down, she stretched out a hand and dipped it into the water.

The coolness of the water immediately spread throughout her body through her skin, making her feel much more comfortable despite being exhausted.

The hunger and thirst in her body surged again. Qiao Xi was unwilling to bear it, so she scooped up the water and brought it to her mouth.

"Huh!" Qiao Xi let out a long sigh.

The water was not only cool but also sweet. After just a few sips, her hunger and thirst were quenched and she felt much more relaxed.

"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law?"

Qiao Xi was just wondering whether she should get some water when she suddenly heard Xu Yi calling her.

She subconsciously looked up to look for Xu Yi, but after looking around and not seeing him, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be in consciousness.

Thinking of how she had just entered, Qiao Xi closed her eyes and silently chanted to exit the space.

After just one recitation, everything went dark before her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her gaze unexpectedly met Xu Yi's eyes.

Seeing her open her eyes, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Something in his eyes flashed when Qiao Xi woke up.

Qiao Xi was afraid that he would discover something, so she avoided his gaze as soon as she opened her eyes and did not notice the strangeness in his eyes.

Because she drank water, her throat was no longer dry, and her voice was much clearer than before: "I'm fine, I guess I was too tired. I wanted to sit down and rest, but I fell asleep. That's right!"

Qiao Xi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you found a way out?"
