Chapter 434 Suspended Wooden Door
Zhu Yu listened to his words and felt a deep resonance with them.

She felt the same way. She had originally planned to spend her life in the Shuo Prince's mansion, just drifting along, eating and waiting to die, as if giving herself a long vacation.

I never imagined that this marriage that landed on my head would completely change the course of my life.

If she were to return to the beginning with this memory and live according to her original plan, she probably wouldn't be able to survive even a single day.

However, now is clearly not a good time for sorrow and grief, which is not in line with the usual character of Zhu Yu and Lu Qing.

So Zhu Yu quickly composed herself and asked Lu Qing, "So where did you find the other entrance and find me?"

“Since there are many hidden sentries ahead, we decided to make our move from that mountain,” Lu Qing replied. “When we went up the mountain to investigate, we accidentally discovered what seemed to be a cave entrance at the summit, with a crystal stone embedded in it.”

Originally, Fu Lu wanted to smash the crystal stone so we could go down into the cave, but we were afraid that smashing the crystal stone would alert the people inside the small mountain building, since we didn't know what the structure inside was like at that time.

Secondly, the cave entrance was at the highest point of the mountain, making it difficult to descend. Therefore, I didn't let the talisman touch the crystal stone, but instead led them to find another path on the other side of the rocky mountain.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel incredibly fortunate.

If that crystal that could refract light over a wide area had been destroyed at that time, the light below would naturally not have been so intense, and those bloodthirsty spiders would not have had to wait until nightfall to dare to venture out...

Then she would really have to bump into walls all over the maze while dodging those terrifying spiders, and she probably wouldn't be able to survive until the big rat.

"So where did you find the way in?" Zhu Yu asked curiously. "What else was there that I didn't have time to pass by?"

Her gaze swept over the scars on Lu Qing's face, and she already had a rough idea of ​​what had happened. The part of the road that she hadn't had time to recover from must have been extremely dangerous.

"On the back of the cliff, we found a wooden door hanging high in the air on a rocky cliff not far from the summit," Lu Qing replied. "Fu Lu was tied with ropes and slowly descended from the mountaintop to try to open the door. However, he found that although the door could be pushed open outwards, it was very tight. There was no lock, but it required a lot of strength to pull it open."

The talisman couldn't exert force behind it while hanging in mid-air, which was too unsafe, so we decided to smash the wooden door.

After breaking it open, we discovered that inside was a cave, and in front of the door was a downhill slope.

This means that if someone wants to break down this door, they have to rush in from the inside and force it open—”

“And outside the door are cliffs that no one inside could possibly predict…” Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and continued Lu Qing’s words, “Otherwise, you might not be able to break through that door. Once you do, you might fall off the cliff without being able to grab onto anything and be smashed to pieces!”
The obstacles and tunnels all confuse and interfere with the judgment of those inside, making it impossible to tell whether they are underground, halfway up a mountain, or even near the summit. After surviving countless dangers and near-death experiences, finally seeing a door that seems to offer escape, they would undoubtedly fight tooth and nail to break it open and escape...

Who could have imagined that the moment they smashed through the door would also be the moment they plummeted off a cliff and were smashed to pieces!

“You’re right. When we went in through that cave entrance, there was a stretch of road that was perfectly peaceful. There were no unusual signs, except for a faint smell of realgar.”

However, it was precisely this smell of realgar that aroused our suspicion, so we took precautions in advance. Unexpectedly, after walking only a few feet, we suddenly found that the area in front of us was covered with a dense swarm of snakes, some big and some small, some long and some short. Because there were so many, we couldn't tell at a glance whether they were poisonous or not.

Those snakes must have been prepared or even trained. Generally speaking, snakes won't launch an attack so quickly unless they feel a clear threat.

But even before we got close, when we saw snakes in the distance, we slowed down or even stopped. The snakes still pounced on us as if they had gone mad.

We didn't care about anything else and just kept hacking and slashing. Fortunately, Yan Daoxin had left us a lot of antidote pills beforehand. As long as it wasn't the kind of poison that was extremely poisonous like the Silver Ring or the Five Steps, we could still hold on.

After finally managing to chop off most of the snakes, we had only taken a few steps forward when we suddenly spotted rats the size of dogs, and then we saw you being attacked by those rats…

As Lu Qing spoke, she naturally recalled the scene from that day, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Zhu Yu's hand, but then realized this and quickly let go, afraid of hurting Zhu Yu.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Zhu Yu noticed the momentary panic in him, an expression she had never seen on Lu Qing's face before.

In her memory, Lu Qing always seemed so calm and composed, never in a hurry or angry. His calm demeanor was accompanied by a sense of confidence and composure, as if he could remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before the emperor.

Such a man, who never showed his emotions and was always impeccable, making it impossible for anyone to find a flaw in him, actually revealed such a panicked and fearful state.

Lu Qing sighed slowly: "You don't know how badly you are injured. You have many wounds all over your body, and they are all from rat bites. Yan Daoxin can't treat your wounds herself, so she can only tell me what to do."

The first step is to make sure you don't catch any diseases from the rat bites. You need to clean all the wounds thoroughly and wait until your fever subsides before you can switch to a tissue-regenerating ointment.

However, Yan Daoxin said that with his specially prepared ointment, he guaranteed it wouldn't leave any scars, and told you not to worry.

In truth, Zhu Yu didn't really care about whether or not she would be left with a scar. To her, after going through so much, being able to keep her life was already a great blessing. A flawless, scarless body was worthless in the face of life.

However, she quickly realized another problem: all the medicine for her injuries... was applied by Lu Qing...?
