The clan elder threw down the stick in his hand and said, "Come down, it's all slippery mud up there, what if you fall down?"
Mu Chen smiled smugly, and even stretched comfortably.
But when he lifted his foot down, he stepped on slippery mud, his foot slipped, he lost his balance and fell straight down.
"Ah Chen, be careful—"
"Ah---Puff--"
"Ouch---"
Mu Chen fell straight down the ten-meter-high steep slope and landed hard on a pile of soft soil.
This terrified the Miao men and women from both villages.
"Ah Chen".
Uncle Dong, who was closest, had been on guard because he had fallen in the same spot before. But Ah Chen still fell; he couldn't catch him at all.

Mu Chen really wanted to cry. Although he knew that it was easy to fall hard when climbing high, who would have thought that an accident would happen? He should have known better than to climb so high.

The old lady next door to the old house also came when she heard the news. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to confront Chief Tang and also scolded the clan elder.
Surprisingly, the two village chiefs didn't respond; they just sat to one side, puffing on their pipes.
Uncle Rong approached Chief Tang and whispered, "Father, I saw it with my own eyes today. This isn't Ah Chen's fault. Look at the mess we've made now—"
