I'm stuck with this sentence - "いかにも山の中に只だ独り居たるに人の気はひのしければ少し生き出づる心地して見出だしければ"

It's part of the folktale "鬼に瘤取らるる事". I know that ば mean to indicate end of
statement in classical japanese, so does it mean to be some sort of connection
word in this case?

In modern japanese it has みる at the end -
"山の中にたったひとりでいたところに、人のいる感じがしたので少しほっとして外を見てみる"

question
classical-japanese
what is a meaning of しければ in a classical japanese?
見出だす{みいだす}→見出だし{みいだし}(連用形{れんようけい})→見出だし{みいだし}＋けり→見出だし{みいだし}けれ(已然形{いぜんけい})＋ば→見出だ{みいだ}
**しければ**

しければ is just the 連用形{れんようけい}/masu stem of a verb together with the auxiliary
verb [けり](http://www.hello-school.net/haroajapa009003.htm) in 已然形{いぜんけい} form,
with the particle ば attached to it.
