In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 886: Chapter 886: Home!

Su Pan’er wasn’t particularly interested in snake meat, but found herself tempted by the hedgehog meat.

There wasn’t much firewood in the cave, but fortunately, Su Pan’er had brought a knife with her. She sliced the snake and hedgehog meat into thin pieces, placed them over the fire to cook, and ate them once they were done.

Although they were not fully satisfied, everyone was able to recover some strength.

However, their throats, already parched, felt as if they were about to smoke!

Luckily, having regained some strength, Su Pan’er checked the situation outside the cave once more.

This time, she extended her mental power beyond her body to survey the surroundings. Since the last time her Three Souls and Seven Spirits suffered damage and split, she had been carefully recuperating, reducing the use of her mental power. Furthermore, her mental power faced resistance penetrating the cave walls, only able to breach about ten centimeters into the surface before it could advance no further.

Nevertheless, she could not afford to worry about that now!

Upon looking, she actually discovered a way out!

"I see it, there seem to be climbing marks above the cave, likely shallow pits made by the people who built the cave. But after so many years of natural weathering, they’re covered in moss. If we want to leave, we’ll probably need to send someone up first to tie a rope and then pull the rest of us up."

Choosing the person to go up wasn’t easy, they needed the strength to climb the peak, tie the rope, and then pull people out... none of it was relaxed!

Two personal soldiers exchanged glances and stepped forward, "Madam, let us do it! We have weapons and will surely rescue everyone quickly!"

Su Pan’er stroked her rounded belly, realizing that this was the only option left.

She took out the dagger she carried with her, "Take this dagger with you. Go, we await your good news."

The two personal soldiers left quickly, and everyone else remained silent, leaning against the cliff to conserve energy.

Actually, the cave was right next to a cliff. The mountain wind howled through the cave, and even huddling for shelter from the wind, they still felt cold. Just as Su Pan’er was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, there came a noise from outside.

"Madam, the ropes are tied. Let’s leave," said one of the personal soldiers who came down, smiling cheerfully at everyone. "We couldn’t see from below, but it’s not far after climbing up. There are tree roots to grasp, and signs of where people have stood. We widened the footholds with our weapons; after climbing up about thirty feet, there’s a stone platform large enough to accommodate people. The path above is much easier!"

What a fortunate turn amidst misfortune!

Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they began to move out of the cave.

The soldiers had woven two ropes from vines, first letting Eleventh Uncle go, followed by Old Xue, and finally, Su Pan’er left with Little Yanyan.

When Su Pan’er climbed up the rope not even thirty feet, she saw that everyone was resting on a large stone. Around them was a mix of dead yellow and vivid green coniferous forests, and it wasn’t clear where they had ended up.

The other personal soldier who stayed on the stone platform approached, "Madam, I went around and caught a rabbit, and also found some fresh water. Please drink some."

In his hands, he held open a piece of green bamboo filled with water collected in the joints.

Su Pan’er thanked him and took it, then handed the bamboo tube to Little Yanyan.

Little Yanyan, already severely thirsty, took the bamboo tube and drank several big gulps before somewhat embarrassingly pushing the tube back to Su Pan’er, "Mother, you drink too."

"Good, Yanyan is a good girl!"

Su Pan’er’s throat had been drying out as if it were on fire, but upon hearing this she refrained from declining further and took a big sip, holding it in her mouth, slowly swallowing it bit by bit. Then she passed the bamboo tube to Old Xue.

Old Xue waved his hand, looking exhausted, "We’ve all had some, you go ahead and drink."

Only then did Su Pan’er give Little Yanyan some of the clear water to drink. After roasting more rabbit meat, everyone finally ate and drank their fill, "Since we’ve all made it out, let’s head towards the mountains’ edge. It’s winter now, and it looks like it’s going to snow tonight. It’s not good to stay here long."

Her words were met with everyone’s agreement, and not daring to rest any longer, they quickly made their way down the mountain.

Although the journey was difficult, they had eventually escaped the tiger’s mouth. Everyone had regained a lot of strength and chatted and laughed along the way. After crossing over a mountain ridge, Su Pan’er was stunned!

"What’s wrong, ugly girl? Why have you stopped walking?"

Old Xue’s face was tense. Previously, when the party encountered wolves and wild beasts in the mountains, she had looked like this. Could it be that she had discovered some danger again?

He felt that in the last few days, he had experienced all the scares he would in a lifetime!

"No."

Su Pan’er smiled bitterly and shook her head, turning to look deeply at Old Xue, "Old Xue, Pan’er was just too surprised, that’s why I showed such an expression. Really, it’s... just too surprising!"

"What on earth is going on?" Old Xue grew even more curious.

"Look over there."

Su Pan’er raised her hand and pointed towards a canyon in front, "Going down this canyon and taking a turn, there’s a swamp. Past the swamp, there’s Luoyan Village. We’ve actually come full circle from Taohua Valley, thousands of miles away, through an underground maze, back to my hometown! Can you believe it?"

"What?"

Old Xue was so shocked he nearly leaped up, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Perhaps it’s just a similar mountain shape, or maybe..."

"There’s no mistake!"

Su Pan’er was quite certain, pointing at the surrounding terrain, "I came here before to search for mountain goods, how could I mistake this place? But this is good news, too. Let’s go down the mountain."

After the initial shock wore off, Su Pan’er was extremely excited. Circling around, they had returned to Luoyan Village!

She couldn’t help but think of the underground array formation again, from which it was clear that one end of the underground formation led to the back of Luoyan Village, one end connected to Changze County, and another to the outside of Yongzhou City. Whether there were more passages leading to other places would have to be explored slowly in the future!

Tonight’s Luoyan Village was not as quiet as usual, instead, there was a continuous bark of dogs.

The early winter sky was cold, and Mrs. Su-Hua had rested as soon as the sky had darkened, hiding in the house and organizing her clothes.

"Sigh, who knows how Pan’er and the others are doing? The child has been gone for so many years, without considering how much I worry at home. Lately, my heart has been beating terribly hard, and I’ve been feeling very nervous. Something must have happened. Hey, old man, if it were you, would you send someone else to inquire about their current situation, to see if they are safe?"

As she spoke, she put down the unfinished shoes in her hands.

She sighed deeply.

"Why are you fussing about this for nothing? When kids grow up, they are meant to fly the nest. Do you want her to be like us, stuck here for her whole life?"

Wrapped in a woolen shawl, Su Lao Si peered outside, "It’s really strange tonight, why are these dogs barking so fiercely? Especially our own, I haven’t heard it bark like this in years. Weird, I’m going to take a look outside."

With that, he opened the door and went out.
