Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 365

"I'll wait here. Go see if there is any cave or something like that nearby. We'll spend the night in there." Wei Jue ordered.

What? Spending the night in a cave? Ye Xi disagreed.

Although it was portrayed that way in the TV series, it was a "prop cave".

Now this is a wild cave, with all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in it. If you get bitten or something, wouldn't that be asking for death?

"My Lord, is that cave safe?"

"It's safer than staying here. I need to use the fire to heal my wounds. If we make a fire here, we can see it from above. The cave can cover the firelight."

It can cover up the firelight, but it can't cover up the smoke. Ye Xi was about to say this, but the moon hid in the clouds again, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Well, there shouldn't be any smoke.

She happily went to find a cave, of course, using the moonlight that had come out again.

In fact, Wei Jue had no hope that there was a cave here.

If not, his plan was to find a secluded spot, start a fire to heal his wounds, and then put it out.

His injury must be treated, otherwise it is hard to say what will happen next.

This time he was careless and impatient, forgetting that he had offended quite a few people because of the war in recent years.

If I really die here this time, it would truly be the case that I “died under the peony flowers”.

As he thought about it, his eyes inevitably turned to the direction where Ye Xi left. Although he could only see a blurry figure, he still kept staring at her.

After a while, Ye Xi came back and said to Wei Jue, "Sir, I saw a cave over there, but I didn't dare to go in and see how big it was."

When Ye Xi saw the place that looked like a cave, he didn't dare to go in.

To make sure, she picked up a longer branch and poked it inside.

It felt like it was quite deep, so I remembered the location and quickly went back to tell him.

"Okay, help me over there." Wei Jue didn't ask any more questions and just let her lead the way.

After arriving at the location, Wei Jue asked her to find a branch.

Then he asked her to tear off some cloth from her body and wrap it around one end to make a makeshift "torch", and then he took out a fire starter.

He looked around carefully and listened to the noises around him. He didn't notice anyone approaching, so he lit the "torch" with a tinder.

He stood still and asked Ye Xi to quickly take the "torch" and reach into the cave to explore.

Ye Xi followed Wei Jue's instructions, stood at the entrance of the cave, and inserted the longer "torch" into it.

According to Wei Jue's request, she had to pay special attention to whether the "torch" would go out when it was close to the ground.

Ye Xi, who had studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, of course knew the principle behind Wei Jue's request. He was simply worried that there might be inert gases in it that would be detrimental to them.

Suffocation is one thing, and sometimes there are some flammable gases in it, so in order to avoid being hurt, Ye Xi stood on the edge of the mountain wall next to the cave entrance.

She thought that if there really was a gas explosion, at least she could block it, but she thought the possibility was unlikely.

After all, as long as it is not a septic tank, flammable gases are generally rarely produced.

As she expected, there was no explosion, and she saw that the torch had not gone out, confirming that it should be safe inside.

She took a few slow steps inside and could see clearly inside the cave with the light of the torch.

It is relatively large inside, with a height that is more than enough for one person to stand in it, and a depth of about seven or eight meters. The width is a little smaller, about three or four meters.
