"Is there a snake?" Ling'er finally understood that they were talking about snake feces. She was horrified and couldn't help but exert some force on Qi Yang's hand.
"Don't be afraid!" Qi Yang hurriedly comforted him, "The snakes should have been trapped outside the snake den by Master Jizhuang." Qi Yang figured out the whole story at once.
"You mean those poisonous snakes that besieged us crawled out from here?" Zhao Xinghe asked in surprise.
Qi Yang nodded.
Everyone was shocked.
"No wonder there is fresh snake droppings here, but no trace of snakes?" Liu Chuyuan said.
"So we are below the snake's lair?" Ji Cangyu asked the key.
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked up above their heads, but did not find any gaps that could be opened.
Since neither Qi Yang nor Zhao Xinghe, who had a good sense of direction, had ever been to the Snake Cave, they could only rely on guessing at their current location.
"I think the snake den is outside the big stone, and there must be many holes around the big stone for those poisonous snakes to pass through." Qi Yang said.
Ji Cangyu, who was closest to the stone, hurriedly walked over to check, and sure enough, he found many palm-sized pores around the stone.
"Your analysis is good, but when Jim checked the snake den before, he did not find a passage leading to the underground." Ji Cangyu frowned.
"Even if Mrs. Piao Piao has already blocked the exit, leaving only some holes for the poisonous snakes to pass." Qi Yang guessed.
"So, those stones blocked by Ji..." Ji Cangyu regretted. Did he block their exit?
"Don't worry, Lord Ji, it's not the rubble that's blocking our escape, but the huge boulder in front of us." Qi Yang said lightly.
Ji Cangyu looked embarrassed, and his thoughts were actually seen through by Qi Yang.
"Even if we are under the snake's den, we can't get out!" Zhao Xinghe said, "We'd better start practicing the 'Netherworld Heart Sutra' quickly!"
However, everyone ignored Zhao Xinghe and continued to look for ways to get out separately.
Ling'er saw that Qi Yang's breath was becoming more and more unstable, and quickly helped him go back to rest.
"Girl, go and help too! Just take a rest." Qi Yang said to Ling'er after sitting against the wall.
"No! I want to accompany you." Ling'er refused.
Seeing that Linger insisted on doing this, Qi Yang sighed secretly. He added: "We may not be able to get out for a while. We don't have much water, right?"
"Are you thirsty? We still have some water." Ling'er hurriedly went to get the water bag.
Qi Yang waved his hand and said: "I'm not thirsty. I just feel that...if there are snakes here, there will definitely be...a clean water source."
"You mean..." Ling'er was overjoyed when she heard this.
"That's right. In places where people practice in seclusion, there will usually be drinking water." Qi Yang closed his eyes and gasped.
"Then I'll tell Uncle Ji! Let them search quickly!" Linger hurriedly got up and walked out.
Seeing that Ling'er was finally willing to leave, Qi Yang breathed a sigh of relief and reached into his arms to get the small white medicine bottle.
Ling'er walked through the stone door and realized that she still had a water bag in her hand. She was worried that Qi Yang was thirsty, so she hurriedly sent him back.
So when Ling'er walked to the stone door, she happened to see Qi Yang take out a small white medicine bottle.
Qi Yang was feeling very uncomfortable at this time and couldn't see his surroundings clearly, so he didn't notice Linger's departure and return. Just as he was about to open the small medicine bottle with one hand, he felt a gust of fragrant wind coming towards him, and then heard Ling'er's scolding voice.
"Did you forget to take your medicine again?" Ling'er asked anxiously, reaching for the small medicine bottle in Qi Yang's hand and pouring a pill to him.
Qi Yang was shocked. He didn't expect Ling'er to come back immediately and found that he wanted to take the medicine secretly.
"Why are you still standing there? Take the medicine quickly!" Ling'er urged.
Qi Yang had no choice but to swallow the pill. The pill doesn't do much, but it's better than nothing. He didn't want Ling'er to worry too much.
After Ling'er returned the small medicine bottle to Qi Yang, she handed him the water bag.
"Take the water bag and drink some water when you are thirsty. I know you have never been willing to drink more water." After saying that, Ling'er sighed secretly.
Qi Yang nodded, then closed his eyes, leaned his head against the stone wall, and silently endured the pain in his chest.
Thinking that Qi Yang was tired and wanted to rest, Ling'er quietly left to find Ji Cangyu.
---
Ji Cangyu had already roughly searched around and was feeling upset because he didn't find anything.
"Why are you here? Is that kid okay?" Ji Cangyu has slowly accepted the fact that Ling'er is always following Qi Yang. Since he couldn't stop Ling'er, he could only follow Ling'er.
"He's not very well, it's an old problem." Ling'er said sadly.
Ji Cangyu didn't delve into what the "old problem" Ling'er mentioned was, thinking that Ling'er was referring to Qi Yang's unsolved poisonous injury.
"Have you discovered anything?" Ling'er asked.
Ji Cangyu shook his head helplessly.
"Is there any water source here?" Ling'er asked again.
"Young Master Jiang found a small pool of water. It should be where the poisonous water from the ditch came." Ji Cangyu answered her.
"Let me go and have a look! Maybe it's clean spring water." Ling'er said.
Ji Cangyu immediately understood what Ling'er meant and led her towards where Jiang Yu was searching.
Seeing Ling'er studying the water pool with a torch, Jiang Yu asked, "Girl, are you looking for drinkable water? But even if this water doesn't contain 'soul-eating', it can't be drunk, right?"
Jiang Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had finished drinking the water he brought a day ago. But no matter how thirsty he is, he doesn't dare to drink the water here.
"There are poisonous snakes here, so there must be drinkable water." Linger raised his head and asked, "What are you worried about?"
"This is the nest of poisonous snakes! You also said that poisonous snakes need to drink water. I don't dare to drink the water they have touched!" Jiang Yu frowned.
"You dare not drink the water they have touched?" Ling'er asked.
"Yes! It's better to die of thirst than to die of poison!" Jiang Yu insisted.
Ling'er ignored Jiang Yu and continued to test the water quality. She first tore off a piece of clothing material, put it into the water to observe, and then took out a silver needle.
Ling'er said to Ji Cangyu in surprise: "Uncle Ji, there is no 'soul-eating' in this water!"
"What about the snake venom?" Jiang Yu asked.
"No. Even if there is snake venom here, it is poisoned through the wound. Just drinking water will be fine." Ling'er patiently explained to Jiang Yu.
"That's it!" Jiang Yu couldn't wait to go to the pool, picked up the water and drank it.
Zhao Xinghe and the others also came over after hearing the news, and when they saw that Jiang Yu was fine after drinking water, they all leaned over to drink the water. Everyone is like a rain after a long drought.
"The water problem is the most life-threatening, and it has finally been solved!" Ji Cangyu said.
Ling'er nodded and said, "Fortunately, Brother Yang is careful."
"So it's really Qi Yang's credit?" Ji Cangyu thought to himself.
"My stomach is finally full." Jiang Yu stood up, touched his bulging belly after drinking water, and said with satisfaction.
Ling'er thought of something and asked Jiang Yu: "Young Master Jiang, what time is it now? It should be dawn outside, right?"
Jiang Yu burped and replied: "Dawn? It's still early!"
Ling'er frowned, she also felt that time didn't pass so fast?
"It's just dark now. It's been two days since we came out of the maze." Jiang Yu said with emotion.
"It was thirteen when you came out of the maze, so today... is it fifteen? A full moon night?" Ling'er was shocked.
Tonight, where they can't see, the moon is full.
