Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Really Walked Out!

"The wolf howled in pain, struggling desperately. Unexpectedly, it managed to break free when the dog was catching its breath, and fled in a panic!"

Su Pan’er continued, "But when Sheep returned home, all its friends that used to play with it came over! Bull said, ’Why didn’t you call me? I could’ve used my horns to pierce the wolf’s throat!’ Horse said, ’My hooves can smash the wolf’s skull!’ Donkey said, ’With one roar from me, I can scare the wolf witless!’ Pig said, ’My tusks can gouge out several transparent holes.’ Rabbit said, ’Although I can’t handle the wolf, my speed is fast, I could’ve sent for help to rescue you!’ Among the crowd of chattering friends, only Dog was absent."

Su Pan’er shook Yan Yan’s little hand lightly, "Yan Yan, why do you think that is?"

"Because Doggy saved Sheep, Doggy felt bitter inside, but she didn’t say anything!"

Yan Yan spoke with her head tilted to the side.

But this made Su Pan’er laugh, "True friendship isn’t about those so-called friends who only know how to sweet-talk you with flowery words; it’s about the hand that reaches out to help you, willing to pull you up, at the critical moment."

Her words caused those behind her to fall into deep thought as well.

"Yan Yan, did you remember the story Mother told you?"

"Mhm, Yan Yan remembered, Mother. But, Mother, Yan Yan is still so hungry, so hungry..."

Yan Yan was walking with a bloated belly, completely overwhelmed by hunger.

"Come, let Mother carry you!"

Su Pan’er too was worried, but she thought back to when she and Qin Yi escaped through the tunnel, which had taken several days, and couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Although there was no sense of time in the darkness of the tunnel, their instincts told them they must have been walking for over a day, yet they had no idea where they were now.

Su Pan’er had a plan in mind, and along the way, she caught some small crawling insects hiding in the cracks to fill everyone’s stomachs.

Even though it wasn’t much help, people needed strength, for how else were they to walk?

After walking for a long time, everyone had gone from walking on their own to staggering forward, supporting each other.

Su Pan’er felt as if her legs could no longer take another step when suddenly, the air ahead changed.

As she stopped, the others, who had been numbly walking forward, ran into her in a heap.

Old Xue looked at Su Pan’er weakly, gasping for breath as he managed to say, "Why did we stop?"

"I feel that the air ahead has become fresher!"

Su Pan’er’s voice was soft, yet it instantly invigorated everyone!

"Ugly girl, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course I am!"

Su Pan’er nodded affirmatively, "If I’m not mistaken, we should be about one and a half miles from the exit!"

On the ground above, two miles wasn’t very far. But underground, how far had these one and a half miles stretched through the mountain? No one could tell!

Even so, relief washed over everyone.

Joy appeared on their faces, "Quick, let’s pick up the pace!"

One and a half miles, if hurried, could be covered in about one hour. But they were so exhausted that it took them the time taken to finish two cups of tea before a light finally appeared up ahead!

"We really... we really made it out!"

Seeing the light coming from the mouth of the cave outside, Old Xue said tremblingly, unable to describe the taste of emotion in his heart!

Having come such a long way, Old Xue also had a tough time.

Although the secret passage was handed down by their ancestors, he had never personally walked the route before. When they arrived at the first fork in the road, the ugly girl suggested taking the other path, but they insisted on this one. As a result, they wandered underground for so long without finding a way out. Even though they didn’t know exactly how much time had passed, he understood that they had probably been walking underground for around two days.

At this moment, everyone was relying on sheer willpower to keep going. If they didn’t find an exit soon, they would either die of exhaustion or starve to death in the tunnel.

The sight of light now filled their hearts with joy!

It was indeed the pleasure of escaping death!

Seeing the light, everyone was overjoyed and rushed towards its source.

However, Su Pan’er remained on high alert, carefully sensing the surroundings of the light. But only after they really stepped out of the tunnel did they realize that they had entered a large cave. A big snake hibernating in the cave lay before them, but fortunately, because Su Pan’er was always on guard, she and two personal soldiers put in a lot of effort to handle the situation.

And the light came from the cave entrance!

The two personal soldiers rushed straight towards the entrance, but after taking one look, they exchanged surprised glances. Then, they turned to report.

"Mrs. Qin, outside... perhaps you should take a look for yourself!"

"What’s the matter? This is..."

Su Pan’er quickly approached the exit and after just one glance, she found herself speechless.

It turns out that the exit of this passage was on the side of a mountain. The cave opening faced a sheer cliff, and looking up, they could only see a large rock over their heads, with no sight of the peak. Looking down, there was a raging river below the cliff, the forceful waters swirling around it.

Even at a far distance, Su Pan’er could feel the swift current of the turbulent river.

"Is this, is this heaven’s way of dooming us?"

Old Xue also took a look around and then collapsed to the ground.

Instead, Su Pan’er began to laugh, turning back to the group with a lively spirit, "Old Xue, you are wrong! Haven’t we already come out of the tunnel? The mountain wall of this tunnel is old, which clearly indicates that it was manually excavated years ago. Since it was possible to dig such a long cave, it means there definitely wouldn’t have just been one or two people doing it! So many people have come here, we can surely leave from here as well. Besides, we now have food."

As she spoke, she turned back to glance at the dead snake.

Eleventh Uncle turned his worry into joy as well, "Master, Mrs. Qin is right. The most difficult moment has passed. We will deal with what comes next step by step; it surely can’t be harder than what we’ve faced so far."

"This ugly girl sure thinks things through. The old man is indeed getting old, couldn’t deny it even if I wanted to."

Old Xue relaxed a lot and joked with a smile on his face.

"How can you speak of age, Old Xue? It’s just that we are all hungry, and a hungry stomach can lead to a myriad of anxious thoughts. Come, let’s cook and eat the snake meat."

Su Pan’er called out to everyone.

The tired group naturally gathered together at the sound of her voice.

One personal soldier picked up the dead snake, while another began collecting firewood from the cave, planning to roast the snake meat for eating.

"Mrs. Qin, there’s a hedgehog here!"

The soldier who went to fetch the dead snake suddenly called out excitedly, "Mrs. Qin, if there’s a hedgehog here, then there must be holes the hedgehog has dug. If we look for them, maybe we can find a way out through the cave system!"

Unexpectedly, a hedgehog?

Su Pan’er was also delighted, "That’s great, we have another kind of meat to eat. Once everyone is full and has regained their strength, we’ll find a way out!"
