I watched in horror as the woman holding a large pair of pliers on the other side of the cliff turned her head towards me. Her bumpy face covered with burns and blisters came into my sight like a ghost.
At that moment, all the color drained from my face, and my hands holding Nan Nan couldn't stop shaking.
Although they were far away, I could still tell who it was from their eyes!
Yao Qingqing waved the big pliers, her gloomy eyes stared at me through the car glass, and a devilish smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
I shook my head frantically, the fear in my chest almost bursting out.
Before my body could react, Yao Qingqing aimed the pliers at the cable and cut it without hesitation.
The cable car had barely traveled a quarter of the distance when, after a dizzying spin, the entire cable car car plummeted down like a sledgehammer out of control in the air and crashed into the steep rocky mountain opposite.
I hugged Nan Nan tightly in my arms, my pupils suddenly shrank as I looked at the mountain right in front of me, and at the moment when I was about to hit it, I closed my eyes in despair.
The next second, I heard a crash like a landslide, accompanied by the sound of glass breaking. I could feel countless glass fragments passing through my body, and the burning pain all over my body swept over me like a tsunami.
There was a buzzing sound in my ears, and the intense pain became more and more distinct as the surroundings fell into silence, but my consciousness seemed to be getting more and more blurred.
"Mom, wake up, Mom..."
Nan Nan’s cries pulled me back from my chaotic consciousness.
I forced my tired eyes to look at Nan Nan, whose big wet eyes were blinking in my arms. I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.
After looking around, we realized that the two of us were stuck on the broken window frame of the cable car.
The cable car did not fall due to the impact, but the broken window was stuck in a small branch on the cliff.
This is what allowed us to escape death and walk away from the gates of hell.
I felt a heart-wrenching pain in my arm. I turned my back and looked at the large piece of glass that had pierced my flesh on my shoulder. Every time I moved my hand, the wound started to bleed. Coupled with the cold wind blowing in from outside the valley, the pain made me shiver all over.
"Qiao Chuyue! Qiao Chuyue! Are you okay?"
A woman's anxious cries came from above, echoing throughout the valley.
I looked up in surprise. It was the female secretary who usually followed Yao Yifeng!
Looking up at the sky surrounded by the pitch-black valley, I subconsciously responded in a hoarse voice, "I'm here, I..."
Originally, I suddenly realized that the female secretary was Yao Yifeng's person, which exposed my position, but the voice of the female secretary above my head was like a shot of tranquilizer and made me almost cry with joy.
"Okay, I'll find someone to rescue you right away. Don't worry, I'm a police officer and I won't let anything happen to you!"
But before I could be happy for two seconds, a scream exploded in my ears, and a figure fell from the opposite hill into the bottomless valley like a fallen leaf, making a sound that shook the forest and made my soul tremble.
A woman's shrill and ear-piercing laughter suddenly exploded in the valley, like the laughter of a demon from hell, tearing the dark night sky into a gloomy hell on earth.
"You bitch, just take that bitch Qiao Chuyuan's child with you and die!"
"Don't worry, as your aunt, I will take good care of your sister's other child. Don't even think about stealing my man, you fake!"
I held Nan Nan in my arms and lay in the cable car that was about to fall at any moment, not daring to move. The hope in my eyes gradually turned into fear.
Just now! The figure falling off the cliff was that female secretary!
Yao Qingqing actually pushed her down!
Thinking back to what she had just said, my eyes widened and my pupils trembled, and I suddenly realized the meaning of what Yao Qingqing had just said!
She said she was the child's aunt!
She turned out to be Qiao Zhixian!
I gasped for breath and bit my lips hard to regain consciousness.
I didn't have the energy to think about whether she was Qiao Zhiqian. I comforted Nan Nan and encouraged her to stand up, reach the railing and stand in the corner.
Nan Nan was so scared that her legs were shaking, but she finally managed to grab the railing and stand firmly in the corner.
With trembling hands, I reached out to the spot where the glass fragment was stuck in my shoulder, gritted my teeth and pulled the fragment out.
I don’t know if it was because I exerted too much force, but the whole cable car shook and then fell down a few inches.
The sticky blood gushed out of my shoulder. I didn't have time to stop the bleeding. I watched as the tree trunk supporting the entire carriage was bent little by little, making creaking sounds, as if the branches would break in the next second, forcing the entire carriage to fall into the abyss with us.
"Mom...Mom...Nannan is afraid..."
Nan Nan was obviously aware that the carriage was gradually falling, and she held onto the railing and cried inconsolably.
I endured the severe pain, the cold sweat on my forehead had already wet the loose hair on my forehead. With tears in my eyes, I wanted to go forward to comfort her, but I found that the car moved with me as soon as I moved.
From the bottom of the valley came the horrifying sounds of birds and beasts being awakened.
I looked around in despair, and finally saw a rock on the mountain next to the cable car cabin that was large enough for one person to stand on, and the light in my eyes rekindled.
"Nannan, do you see that place outside? Crawl over there and wait for daddy to rescue you..."
"No, Mom, let's go together. Can you get up?"
Nan Nan reached out her hand to me and cried heart-wrenchingly.
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer and burst into tears. My voice became hoarse and my chest seemed to be blocked by endless reluctance and sorrow. I was choked with sobs and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Good boy Nannan, I... I'm not your mother, you have to be brave..."
"No, you are my mother, I know!"
Her small body grabbed the railing and crawled towards me, and every call was like a needle pricking my heart.
"Mom, I don't want to lose you again, let's go out together!"
My eyes were red and I was shaking my head frantically.
I knew that the small open space on the mountain could only accommodate one person standing. Moreover, if one person moved in the car, we would immediately lose our balance. Even if the branch was not broken, we would fall out of the car.
I forced a smile at her, but tears kept flowing out.
"Nannan, remember what grandma and the others said before: Mommy won't die. Just listen to her, okay? Even if Mommy falls, she will come up to Nannan soon!"
She stopped crying after hearing what I said.
My vision was blurry and my heart felt like it was being torn apart over and over again.
I never thought that many years later, I would use the same words that Qiao Zhixian used to deceive others to deceive my own children.
Using all my strength, I threw the down jacket and dry food that had not fallen beside me to Nan Nan.
Finally, with my repeated coaxing, Nan Nan finally put on her down jacket and climbed out the window.
The moment I saw Nan Nan climbing up the small branch and standing firmly on the mountain outside, the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
But the next second, with the sound of branches cracking overhead, the entire carriage plummeted. I watched helplessly as Nan Nan opened and closed his mouth, screaming in despair on the mountainside. Then the world turned upside down, a buzzing sound filled my ears, and finally, darkness descended into a dead silence.
