The two of them teased each other, each laughing at the other's clumsiness. After walking quite a distance, Nina glanced back at the cliff, feeling like she had missed something.

Nash noticed her hesitation and joked, "You're not thinking about staying another night, are you? Not worried about running into that snake's husband?"

Nina thought for a moment, "Seven-Leaf Clover thrives in damp places and venomous snakes often guard it. Could the Seven-Leaf Clover be inside the cave?"

"No, let's go together. If that snake's husband shows up, we can watch each other's backs."
