Loxin Amusement Park
Lingyi didn't think anything of it. "Could it be that the climbing pearls they picked were picked earlier today, so they went back first? But we didn't run into them along the way. Could it be that they took a shortcut and wanted to go back early to see me?"
Ding Can glanced sideways: "Looking at you?"
"My uncle has always been indifferent to me. Every time he comes over, I have to prepare myself mentally." Ling Yi said helplessly.
Xiyin's father's attitude towards him is average. Perhaps because of his love for his daughter, he naturally feels quite hostile towards people who get close to his daughter.
So every time we meet, I basically don't give him a good look.
But Ling Yidu still persevered in coming here, of course he had other intentions.
Moreover, the growing environment of climbing pearl vine is special, and the number of mature plants is not high. Only a dozen plants can be picked every day, and they are distributed in different locations on the cliff.
The time it takes each time is actually hard to predict, and sometimes it ends very quickly.
Besides, there is indeed a shorter way back to the tree house, but the road conditions there are not very good, and there are some vines as high as calves that can easily cut the body.
Unless there is something extremely urgent, I won't go that way.
However, Lingyi's words did not dispel Xiyin's doubts. Perhaps it was because she had telepathy with her relatives. Her face looked a little strange at this time, with a hint of worry.
She walked forward a little, her eyes flickering as she noticed the half rope still hanging on the tree: "That's not right..."
The rope hung down from the tree trunk, close to the ground at the edge of the cliff, which is why it was not discovered when we first arrived.
Xiyin would certainly not mistake the origin of this rope, because it was reinforced by her own hands.
Knowing that her father and brother climbed the cliffs every day and had a very dangerous livelihood, she became even more worried about their safety. This rope was the only thing she could rely on to ensure their personal safety.
Whenever she has free time, she will regularly carry out inspections and reinforcements.
In addition to the commonly used grass knots and cotton and linen, Xiyin also added a lot of nylon thread and sturdy metal bought from the market.
My brother received the new rope a couple of days ago and pretended to complain, saying that the rope was getting heavier and heavier, and it would take two people to lift it in the future.
Xiyin followed the direction of the rope on the ground, looked forward, and took a few quick steps towards the edge of the canyon.
"Hey, be careful." Ling was a little panicked when he saw her reckless actions, and hurried over to grab her arm. There was dew condensed in the early morning, and it was much more slippery than other times, so it was easy to fall.
Near the edge of the cliff, there is a push nail that has been drilled most of the way into the ground. This nail is specially customized. There is a grip deep underground and a ring on it for the rope to pass through, which serves as another layer of protection.
No matter which part of the tree trunk or the nails has a problem, there is always room for buffering on the other side.
But from the current situation, both ends are firm and there is nothing abnormal.
But it was already very strange that my father and brother would leave the rope they had carefully made here.
Xiyin squatted down at the edge of the cliff and stuck his head out to look down into the canyon.
No matter what time it is, it is always windy here. Her hair was blown by the wind, revealing her smooth forehead, and the worried expression on it was even more obvious.
Xiyin's figure looked particularly small in front of the huge abyss, and onlookers could see his subtle fragility.
Ding Can followed her and stopped a few steps away.
In fact, the confusion I felt when I saw Lingyi appear at the edge of the canyon yesterday had already turned into suspicion from the very beginning, which really made people feel that it was too coincidental.
However, it is still unclear what happened to Xiyin's father and brother that led to their disappearance.
Did it disappear in the forest or under a cliff a thousand meters deep?
"Those are my brother's clothes." Xi Yin's voice suddenly became sharp, and her facial features were completely different from her previous calm demeanor. She couldn't control her expression at all.
She grabbed Lingyi's arm, trying her best to prove that what she said was true and seeking his confirmation.
Because Lingyi stayed at my house yesterday, they met each other this morning and naturally knew what they were wearing.
There was an obvious choke in the last syllable of Xiyin's song, and the small half of the clothes hanging on the cliff was very obvious. Under what circumstances would clothes fall to such a place.
She didn't dare to think about it too much, but something was about to surface.
"They, they...the canyon is so deep." Xi Yin spoke incoherently and shook his head, obviously unable to accept this fact.
Although it is unclear what exactly happened here in the early morning, it is highly likely that something unexpected happened and both my father and brother fell into the canyon.
Ding Can also lowered his eyes and looked down into the canyon. Even though it was daytime and the light was bright, he still couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
Half of the canyon was filled with a thick layer of white fog, which was layered and appeared swollen in the middle, much like balls of cotton that had just been popped out and exposed to the sun.
It is so soft and beautiful that it makes people want to throw their whole body on it.
But this kind of thought is the most terrifying. If someone is really attracted to it, once they take this step, there will be no turning back.
"Can we go down from this place?" Lin He put his hands in his pockets and looked sideways at the scenery below the cliff. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and his back stretched into a straight line.
When Ling Yi saw that Xi Yin was on the verge of collapse, her expression also became anxious, but she still had the energy to answer him.
"There is indeed a path leading to the canyon, but the bottom of the canyon is filled with miasma. I heard that there are many poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants living there. Our ancestors have told us not to go near it."
Miasma? Isn't this the same story you heard at the amusement park?
The hero and heroine were attacked by a pervasive miasma, but the specific details are slightly different. At present, it seems that it did not appear in the forest, but may have come from the canyon.
Xiyin sniffed and regained some rationality: "Yes, although it's very deep down here, if they are lucky and fall into some water, or are cushioned by trees, the result won't be that bad."
She was unwilling to believe those unacceptable results before confirming the facts.
Ling paused. "But...for so many years, no one has dared to go to that part of the canyon. It's said that anyone who gets even a little bit close will feel unwell. And it's right at the bottom of the cliff below us, making it even more impossible to approach."
That place was listed as a forbidden area by our ancestors, and every place should not be underestimated. Even if there is no miasma area close to the center, the air that looks very clean may contain poisonous gas that can hurt people.
No one dared to explore this area.
Xi Yin wiped the tears from her cheeks and stood up: "It is indeed dangerous over there. This is my own business. You don't have to follow me. Go home."
I have a thought in my heart, and I can't just give up like this.
When you first meet her, you will feel that she is a very weak person, both in terms of appearance and in the personality revealed through her tone and actions.
But at this moment, all those characteristics were overshadowed by other things. She looked like a blade of grass swaying in the wind and rain, her posture always upright and refusing to bend.
Even if I am just supporting my father and brother every day, there may not be many times when I need to make decisions, but when I am really alone, I will burst out with great vitality.
Xiyin said this to Lingyi, and she didn't even have time to glance at the new faces of the outsiders around her.
In this situation, it is impossible for a stranger who just met to be willing to go to a dangerous place for her.
"How can you go alone? I... I'll go with you." Ling Yi certainly wouldn't sit idly by. He stood up hurriedly, ready to go with her.
Seeing that his hair on his forehead was suddenly messed up and he had no time to take care of it, and his heart and eyes were all on her, Xiyin felt a little touched: "Thank you."
Having a good relationship normally is one thing, but being willing to accompany her to take risks under such circumstances is something to be grateful for.
"Why thank me?" Ling Yi shook his head. "Anyway, if anything really happens, I will always be by your side."
He took the opportunity to express his thoughts and position, but Xiyin had no time to think about anything at this time.
"Then be careful when you go walking in the forest. I'm leaving with Xiyin first."
Lingyi followed Xiyin closely, and did not forget to talk to Ding Can and the others.
"Wait!" Ding Can called out to them, "Let's go look too. Since you guys said there aren't many gems here, there's no need to waste our energy wandering around."
Xi Yin stopped and couldn't help looking back. Her slightly furrowed brows were meant to suppress her tears. She must be scared deep down in her heart. With the support of others at this time, she couldn't help but feel like crying.
"You guys..." She found that she couldn't seem to say the second half of the sentence.
Indeed, if Dad and Brother were really in danger, now would be the best time to rescue them. More people means more hope of survival.
Although she knew it was not good to trouble others, she had no better choice at the moment.
Gao Wenwen chuckled foolishly. "It's okay. Like you said before, let's just treat this as an adventure. There are risks wherever we go. Why not help find someone? Don't you agree?"
Xi Yin nodded quickly. "No matter what the result is, I will definitely thank you very much. If you find anything wrong later, please leave as soon as possible."
When Ling heard them say this, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but then quickly transformed into an expression of obvious gratitude: "It's great to have your help."
When we were at the edge of the cliff, the canyon looked very deep, but we followed the path they mentioned and went down. Maybe because it was downhill, it was not too strenuous and did not take long.
But on the way, Ding Can noticed that Ling Yi spoke less and less. Apart from a few words of comfort to Xi Yin from time to time, he basically did not look like the talkative person he had seen before.
"After falling from such a high place, he must be unrecognizable." Shi Yan thought of the tragic scene he might see later, and even looked at Xi Yin with a bit of pity in his eyes.
If you encounter any obstacles such as protruding rocks during the fall, it would be difficult to keep your body intact.
Gao Wenwen slowed down his pace, fearing that the people in front of him would hear him. "Tell me, does Lingyi have anything to do with this?"
Everyone saw him moving on the edge of the canyon yesterday, and the connection itself aroused suspicion.
Ding Can was also curious, so he turned to look at Lin He, who had been silent the whole time: "Did you see what Ling Yi did yesterday?"
