Zhu Qianying held her breath. As she descended and was about to see the scenery beneath the boulder, she first closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently prayed before opening them again.
However, the depression under the boulder was very deep and dark. Zhu Qianying leaned down, clinging to the strong rope, and squinted to look inside, but could only see a dark blur.
"Zizai, Zizai, are you there? Can you hear Mommy's voice? Zizai!" Zhu Qianying shouted at the sunken hole. She didn't have any tools on her, including a flashlight or other lighting equipment.
She had no choice but to shout at the entrance of the cave.
The waterfall cascaded down from the heights, its roar like thunder as it crashed onto the surface of the deep pool. As a result, Zhu Qianying's loud shouts were completely drowned out by the rushing water.
After shouting a few times, Zhu Qianying realized that shouting again would be futile, so she straightened up and pressed her body against the stone wall like a gecko, looking up at Yan Shao, who was only a few dozen centimeters above her head.
Although Young Master Yan had agreed to let her come down and take a look, when she came down from the stands, he insisted that she not carry the rescue pack. After all, the items inside weighed at least ten or twenty kilograms, which would be a heavy burden for a strong man, let alone her.
Do you have a flashlight in your backpack?
Zhu Qianying raised her head and asked Yan Shao loudly.
“There should be!” Yan Shao said, already sliding down to the level stone wall.
Yan Shao moved closer to her, one hand gripping a protrusion on the rock wall, the other pushing his backpack towards Zhu Qianying, because he might not know the exact location of these rescue items as well as Zhu Qianying.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Qianying deftly took out a spotlight flashlight from her side bag and was about to lean down to shine it again when Yan Shao snatched the flashlight from her hand.
"I'll do it, you be careful and hold on tight to the rope."
But Zhu Qianying was extremely anxious at the moment, so how could she obediently listen to Yan Shao's words?
Although she didn't try to grab the flashlight, she slowly slid down with Yan Shao until their bodies left the rock face, hanging suspended between the bottom of the boulder and the water surface, entirely by the rope tied around their waists.
Yan Shao had no choice but to reach out and hug her, saying, "Baby, be careful!"
Zhu Qianying nodded, signaling him to quickly turn on the flashlight and check the situation at the bottom of the stone wall.
The flashlight beam slowly moved clockwise from the left side of the stone wall to the right. The recesses in the stone wall were roughly semi-circular, and the uneven surface of the stone wall could be seen where the flashlight beam reached.
The beam of light had swept across most of the semicircle, but for the time being, all that could be seen was the water splashing against the stone wall, with no foreign objects or unusual features.
The glimmer of hope that had been ignited in Zhu Qianying was gradually dimming and weakening.
"I'll go into the water and take a look..." Zhu Qianying couldn't contain herself any longer. She felt that the flashlight beam was probably not strong enough, so she couldn't see very clearly. She had to swim over and see for herself before she would be satisfied.
"Ying'er, don't rush!" Young Master Yan reached out and grabbed her. The two swayed a few times in mid-air. The beam of the flashlight flickered erratically on the water's surface below the stone wall.
Although Zhu Qianying was being pulled and swayed back and forth by him, her gaze remained fixed on the depths of the stone wall.
"Young Master Yan, quick, look over there!" Zhu Qianying suddenly pointed to a spot and called out anxiously.
She has sharp eyes; in the brief moment the flashlight beam shone, she seemed to have seen a dark shadow on the other side of the stone wall.
Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, the dark shadow seemed to have a bright reflection.
And Vic Chou went out early yesterday morning wearing an orange-red outfit.
Yan Shao gripped the rope tightly with one hand, trying his best to stabilize himself, before moving the flashlight to the spot Zhu Qianying pointed to.
The recess in the stone wall is extremely deep, and even though the flashlight is a high-beam type, the light is still faint when it shines inside.
With the two of them suspended in mid-air, swaying back and forth, it took a while before Yan Shao's flashlight accurately shone on the spot Zhu Qianying pointed to.
The two of them held their breath and squinted to look in the direction of the beam of light.
Sure enough, where the beam of light touched, there was a small patch of orange-red reflection. As for the rest, it was too far away to see clearly.
This time, Zhu Qianying ignored Yan Shao's obstruction, grabbed Yan Shao's hand, quickly loosened the ropes binding her, and before Yan Shao could react, she had already jumped into the deep pool with a "plop".
Yan Shao knew she was an excellent swimmer, and since she had already swum quickly toward the orange-red light, he couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
He didn't rush to jump down. Instead, he held a flashlight in one hand, shining it in the direction Zhu Qianying was swimming, and with the other hand, he took out his phone from his backpack and dialed the rescue team leader's number. He briefly explained the current location and situation, and asked him to immediately notify Director He to have a doctor rush over.
After giving the instructions, he put the phone back in its waterproof case, stuffed it back into his backpack, then loosened the rope and jumped into the water with Zhu Qianying.
The recessed hole was very deep. Zhu Qianying struggled to swing her arms. Although her body was soaking in the icy water, her heart felt like it was being tortured on a raging fire.
With great difficulty, she could vaguely make out the orange-red color, which seemed to be a mass clinging to the stone wall. From its shape, it vaguely resembled the appearance of a person with their head drooping.
"Zizai!" Even though Zhu Qianying knew that she should conserve her energy at this time, she still couldn't help but shout loudly.
The dark figure on the other side of the stone wall remained motionless.
Ke Zhu Qianying increased the frequency of her arm movements, and Yan Shao, who was following behind her, had almost caught up with her due to his long arms and legs. He fixed the flashlight to his head and slowly adjusted the angle of his head, shining the beam of the flashlight more accurately on the dark shadow with an orange glow on the stone wall.
Now, not only could Zhu Qianying see it clearly, but even Yan Shao could clearly see that what was pasted on the stone wall was a person. Judging from the height, the person was about the same height as Zizai. His lower body was completely submerged in water, his head was drooping, one hand was hanging down at his side, and his face was slightly turned inward, so his appearance could not be seen.
Judging from his clothes and height, it's almost certain that this is Vic Zhou.
Yan Shao couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment; all he knew was that his eyes instantly became blurry.
He took a deep breath and shouted, "Zizai, Daddy and Mommy are here to save you! Hang in there!"
After shouting, he waved his arms and quickly caught up with Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying has confirmed that the one pasted on the stone wall is indeed Zizai.
Seeing that Yan Shao was catching up, and knowing she couldn't keep up with his speed, she urged him in a trembling voice, "Go and save Zizai, don't worry about me..."
