Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Shi Wanxia entered the cave, rubbing her lower back. She glanced at the time; it was past 7 p.m. and the temperature had dropped. Was it really this cold in summer? She checked the temperature: 13°C, which was quite low.

I arranged the hay and firewood, took out a lighter, lit the hay, and started a fire. I added some thicker branches and let it burn on its own.

He took out his sleeping bag, picnic mat, and summer blanket from his backpack, laid them out, changed his clothes, and lay down in the sleeping bag. He had been busy for so long today, and in order to hold out until someone came to rescue him, he still needed to find a water source tomorrow and scout out the way.

Otherwise, just eating compressed biscuits won't do. What will we do when we run out? If we have to get out of the forest on our own later, we still need to save the food in our bags for the journey.

When I close my eyes, my whole body aches.

"Oh dear, this isn't a vacation, it's a wilderness survival challenge! Wouldn't it be better to stay home and write? Why am I suffering like this?" What bad luck!

"The Wumeng Mountains stretch to mountains beyond mountains, the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach. Can anyone tell me if Heaven is calling out to you..."

Shi Wanxia was woken up by her phone alarm. Last night, she checked her laptop in the hidden compartment of her backpack and found nothing wrong.

There's no internet, so there's no way to update. The editor and the fans are bound to start arguing. But I don't want to complain about this place.

I checked the time and it was past nine o'clock, so I immediately got up, packed my things, grabbed some food and a Swiss Army knife, and then hid my backpack behind the innermost stone pillar, covering it with weeds and branches.

Only then did I get up and hang the knife on my casual pants belt, sling the water bottle over my shoulder, and take three biscuits. I opened one and ate it with water; it was really choking. But there was nothing else to eat.

I put my phone and other belongings in my backpack, and only wore my watch to check the time and temperature. I couldn't see anything else because there was no internet!

After finishing eating, I tidied up and tied my jacket around my waist. It's not cold now, and I was worried about it raining if I brought the jacket on, since this windbreaker is waterproof.

The fire has gone out. We'll rekindle it later. Today, we'll first look for a water source, and then see if we can find something to eat. We'll come back this afternoon and continue moving stones. This miserable life!

After finishing up and leaving the cave, I looked around at my surroundings, unsure of which way to go. I checked the sun's position and headed west, with my back to the sun, so I could easily return later. There were towering trees stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Why don't we climb the tree and see if there are any signs of human activity here, since this is the terrain here?"

Shi Wanxia rubbed her hands together and found a tree that wasn't too thick, had many trunks, and was low and easy to climb. She used both her hands and feet to climb up, sliding down as she climbed. After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to climb to the first section of the trunk.

There were only dense foliage ahead, and I couldn't see anything. I had to climb up. The trees were very tall, at least ten meters high, and I didn't know what kind of trees they were.

I struggled to climb for a long time, using both my hands and feet to reach a tree trunk about 4 meters above the ground and sit down. Looking up, all I could see were dense tree trunks and leaves. I was a little afraid of heights and didn't dare to look down.

Shivering, she clung to the tree trunk and stood up. A gust of wind blew by, making Shi Wanxia hold onto the tree tightly, afraid of being blown off. It took her a while to calm down before she opened her eyes and cautiously observed her surroundings.

Although I didn't climb very high, it's still better than the ground. My current position is slightly higher, while the western side is lower.

But all there was lush green shade. To the north was a high mountain cliff with a dense forest on its summit. To the south was also a dense forest, which looked like a fir forest. To the east, where the sun rose, was also a deep forest, only the colors were different.

Good heavens, is the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan Province really that big? It's all primeval forest. Yes, it's that big. Shi Wanxia was on the verge of tears. Everyone else's trips are wonderful, rewarding, and full of energy.

Goodness, I'm even worse. I'm willing to risk my life for money, and I'm still living such a miserable life. Life really is just throwing good luck at me!

"Heavens above, if you're going to ruin me, why not send a man to ruin me instead of throwing me into this godforsaken place? I'm going crazy."

After venting her anger, Shi Wanxia obediently slid down from the tree, her face sullen.

"It's okay, take a deep breath, just think of it as a wilderness survival experience. The main task now is to find a water source, otherwise we'll be stuck here."

Shi Wanxia dusted herself off and continued westward. To avoid encountering snakes, she picked up a stick and began to fight them as she walked.

It does have an effect. The primeval forest is full of plants and animals, and you might accidentally end up in their stomachs.

After walking for almost two kilometers, a bamboo forest suddenly appeared ahead. It was only May or June, the transition between spring and summer, so I didn't know if there were still bamboo shoots left. I could go and try my luck.

Holding a stick, I carefully observed my surroundings, not daring to touch any branches or anything. Mainly, this kind of environment usually has insects and snakes, and I'm most afraid of these soft-bodied creatures. I really don't want to touch them!

This bamboo forest is quite large, at least five acres in size. Shi Wanxia held a wooden stick and carefully dug at the soil under the dead leaves.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find any. There were, however, many large bamboo shoots. I guess it's the wrong season, so the bamboo shoots are all gone.

"Ouch, what is that?"

She tripped over a small clod of earth that had protruded from the ground. When Shi Wanxia got up, she saw a small point on the clod of earth. Could it be a bamboo shoot?

Excitedly, I put down the stick, took out my Swiss Army knife, and carefully dug. After digging for a while, I could see the top of the bamboo shoot, while the rest was still buried in the soil.

I immediately dug even harder, and after digging for more than 20 minutes, I finally reached the root system. I used a knife to break it off, and the whole bamboo shoot was dug out intact. It was round and plump; I'll peel it when I find some water.

"What luck! Such a big bamboo shoot. Let me see if there are any more."

Shi Wanxia began searching earnestly on the ground, following the same pattern, and actually found three or four more. She carefully dug them all out and sat down to rest.

"This bamboo can be used to hold water, right? Should I make a few bamboo tubes to hold water? In case the water source is far away, I'll need something to carry it back!"

After hesitating for a while, Shi Wanxia took a knife and cut the larger bamboo stalks that had fallen over one by one.

"Luckily, this is a Swiss Army knife, made of a special material. Otherwise, it would be terrible if it got dull after a couple of sawings."
