"Qiqi, is this rope you tied okay?"

Li Changlong exclaimed in surprise, almost blurting out, "Wouldn't you fall to your death if you did that?"

Lu Qiqi glanced at him and said, "You and Xiao Dong go and pull the rope. If you can loosen it, I'll admit defeat."

With suspicious and inquisitive looks, Li Changlong and Zhao Xiaodong picked up the rope and pulled it with all their might.

"Hey, look."

"This rope seems to be getting tighter and tighter!"

"It seems so."

"It's getting tighter and tighter!"

The villagers were amazed that a rope with a haphazardly tied knot could be so useful.

Li Changlong and Zhao Xiaodong used too much force, and their faces turned red.

Knowing that there was no problem with tying the knot this way, I let go of the rope.

Zhao Xiaodong laughed and said, "Village head, what kind of knot is this? It's so beautiful!"

Lu Qiqi: "This is called a dog's tooth knot. Hunters like to use it as a rope knot to catch prey."

"Please trouble the village head to tie a knot for my elder brother as well," Zhao Xiaodong said.

Lu Qiqi shook her head and explained, "This knot is easy to tie. The more the animal struggles, the tighter it gets."

It's also easy to remove; it's too dangerous to tie someone to it.

If someone descending the cliff accidentally pulls on one end of the rope, it will untangle, and I won't elaborate on the consequences of falling off the cliff.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he added, "After Lu Da and I go down the cliff, you must not mess with the knot."

Zhao Xiaodong nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

When Li Changlong heard that Lu Qiqi had arranged for her to go down the cliff with Lu Da, he said anxiously, "I'll go. You wait for news up here. How can I, a grown man, let a young girl go on such a risk?"

“If anything happens to you, my dad and your third uncle will definitely break my legs.”

Li Changlong spoke with deep emotion, but Lu Qiqi said, "Second Brother, as long as you keep an eye on the rope up there, I'll be fine."

The reason Lu Qiqi kept Li Changlong and Zhao Xiaodong was because the person who went down the cliff was extremely important to them.

We will absolutely not allow the ropes tied to the trees to be damaged in any way.

It's not that Lu Qiqi is overthinking things, but the reality is that if she dies at the bottom of the cliff...

With the deaths of the village chiefs of the five villages, what would become of their fiefdoms and taxes? Faced with such a dilemma, she dared not gamble.

Li Changlong understood Lu Qiqi's implication and didn't insist further, simply advising, "Be careful."

Lu Qiqi nodded, and without further delay, tied a rope around herself, then grabbed one end of the rope and began to climb down.

The rough rope hurt her hands. At that moment, she desperately wanted a set of mountaineering equipment, even just a pair of gloves.

Pain always pulls people back to reality, and Lu Qiqi must take each step carefully.

Lu Da descended the cliff ahead of her and slowly climbed down to her left and below.

His movements were swift and agile, unlike those of a farmer who had been working in the fields for many years. His arm strength was also astonishing; Lu Qiqi could even see the prominent veins on his arms.

Lu Qiqi didn't delay any longer and quickly caught up with Lu Da.

When the rope reached its end, Lu Qiqi firmly planted her feet on the rock before looking around.

When she put it down, she didn't see any tree trunks growing on the cliff, only bare rock walls and weeds growing on the rocks.

The area beneath the rock face was shrouded in mist, and Lu Qiqi could only see Lu Da not far from her.

This couldn't go on, so she resorted to the most primitive method.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dr. Luo!"

"on Monday."

Are you there?

The sound echoed, but there was no response.

Lu Qiqi looked down at the bottomless cliff, feeling somewhat discouraged, but she was still unwilling to give up. She thought that Doctor Luo and Zhou Yi might be hanging from some tree.

Otherwise, how could the rope that Dr. Huang pulled up be completely unbroken? It's impossible that Zhou Yi and Dr. Luo would have untied the rope and jumped down like two idiots.

If they could actually untie the ropes in mid-air and jump down to complete such a difficult move, then these two would be martial arts masters.

They wouldn't let her and Lu Da come to rescue them.

Just as Lu Qiqi was about to move a little to search, she heard an echo.

"We are here."

The voice wasn't loud, but it was recognizable as Dr. Luo's voice.

Lu Qiqi shouted, "Make any noise and I'll come right away."

"good."

Knowing that the two hadn't fallen off the cliff, Lu Qiqi felt a great deal of relief from the frustration that had been weighing on her chest.

Following Dr. Luo's instructions, she and Lu Da slowly moved to the left.

They didn't dare to move too much, since the rope was not as sturdy as the climbing rope and would easily break if worn too much.

It took Lu Qiqi and Lu Da the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to cover a distance of only three meters.

When Lu Qiqi looked up and saw Doctor Luo, the old man with disheveled white hair was lying at the entrance of the cave, his hands gripping the rock wall tightly.

After half an incense stick's time, Lu Da and Lu Qiqi stepped into the cave entrance one after the other.

Lu Qiqi looked at Zhou Yi and Doctor Luo. They were just a little dirty, but there were no obvious external injuries.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Dr. Luo's eyes were bloodshot, and he asked in a hoarse voice.

Lu Qiqi has a large white radish in her space, but she can't just conjure a radish out of thin air in front of the three of them; otherwise, they'd think she was a monster.

Therefore, she could only humbly wipe her nose and say, "No."

The glimmer of light in Dr. Luo's eyes instantly dimmed, as if something long-awaited had been shattered.
