Peony originally didn't want to help, but seeing that Bai Nuo had reconciled with Zheng Qing'er and Huang Ziyao, she had no choice but to nod and agree.
Bai Nuo glanced at the spot Zheng Qing'er had mentioned and saw that it was very steep. Although most of the fruit was inside, it still looked terrifying. So he told Mudan, "Mudan, be careful."
Peony nodded; she wasn't about to lose her life here.
Hongxing and Mudan went over with baskets, while Granny Wang picked up Zheng Qing'er's fruit. Zheng Qing'er smiled and started several topics. Although Bai Nuo wasn't very interested and only responded with "uh-huh" a few times, Zheng Qing'er wasn't embarrassed at all and continued to talk very enthusiastically.
"Ah!" As the three were talking, they suddenly heard Hongxing scream, "Miss Peony!"
They looked up abruptly and saw Peony fall to the ground, with Red Apricot clinging tightly to her clothes.
"Oh my god!" Huang Ziyao screamed, covering her mouth. "How did she fall?"
At the same time, Bai Nuo and Granny Wang had already rushed over. Huang Ziyao shouted, "Sister-in-law!" Seeing that Bai Nuo hadn't stopped, she also rushed over.
Seeing this, Zheng Qing'er also ran over.
The cliff was steep, and looking down made one dizzy. Peony's entire body was hanging over the edge, while Red Apricot was clinging to one side of her clothes, lying on the ground, looking as if she was about to fall.
Bai Nuo was the first to run to Hong Xing's side, and without hesitation, she knelt down and stretched out her hand to Mu Dan, "Mu Dan, give me your hand!"
Peony was hanging outside, only holding on to one side of her clothes to keep from falling. She looked down at the cliff below, swallowed hard, and reached out her hand to Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo grabbed Mudan's hand and said to Hongxing, "Don't let go, just hold onto her clothes!" She was afraid that if Hongxing let go, all of Mudan's strength would be in her hand, and she wouldn't be able to hold on.
Hongxing nodded.
Following Bai Nuo, Granny Wang also arrived at the edge of the cliff. Seeing Bai Nuo lying on the ground, she also lay down without hesitation and grabbed the outstretched hand of Mudan.
Behind Granny Wang were Huang Ziyao and Zheng Qing'er. Although Huang Ziyao ran over first, Zheng Qing'er was obviously in better physical condition and arrived before Huang Ziyao.
With so many people around, they should be able to pull Peony up somehow, Huang Ziyao thought. But the next second, she saw Zheng Qing'er slip and fall, rolling towards Bai Nuo. "Cousin, be careful!"
But she called out too late, or rather, it was no use at all. Zheng Qing'er rolled over, and with the huge force, Bai Nuo slid out. Wang Mama and Hong Xing reacted quickly, one catching Zheng Qing'er and the other grabbing Bai Nuo.
Now there are two people outside the cliff, and both of them are being supported by Granny Wang alone.
"Young Madam, let go!" Peony was extremely anxious when she saw Bai Nuo fall down as well.
She would rather die than have Bai Nuo die trying to save her.
Bai Nuo looked up and saw that Zheng Qing'er had already been helped up. Huang Ziyao knelt down towards them and said, "Sister-in-law, give me your hand, I'll pull you up!"
Bai Nuo shook her head and said loudly, "Go back quickly and call someone to pull us up. There are two of us down there, and Qing'er is injured too. The three of you might not be able to pull us up!"
Huang Ziyao had just made things clear with Bai Nuo, and it was the perfect time to turn hostility into friendship. How could she possibly leave Bai Nuo here alone?
Seeing Huang Ziyao in tears, Bai Nuo sighed softly and said to her, "Go quickly, or I'm really doomed!"
Granny Wang didn't know what Bai Nuo was planning, but she thought the whole thing was too coincidental, so coincidental that everything seemed strangely unsettling. Plus, Xia Donglai was secretly involved, so she felt a little more at ease. So she joined Bai Nuo in persuading Huang Ziyao, "Miss, our lady is right. You and this Miss Hongxing should quickly take the things and go back with Miss Biao to find someone to rescue our lady. That way, the competition won't be delayed, and our lady can be saved!"
"But how can you manage on your own?" Huang Ziyao no longer cared about the competition; her mind was solely focused on Bai Nuo.
"Don't worry!" Granny Wang said with a wry smile, "I didn't get all this fat for nothing. As long as you go and come back quickly, I can manage!"
Zheng Qing'er spoke up at this moment, "Ziyao, this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so stubborn, this wouldn't have happened. But sister-in-law is right. We have to go back quickly so we can find someone to rescue her. Otherwise, we'll all be stuck here!"
Seeing that Zheng Qing'er was extremely weak, leaning against Hongxing and barely breathing, Huang Ziyao gritted her teeth and said to Granny Wang, "Granny, you must hold on, I'll be there in a bit!"
Granny Wang kept looking at Bai Nuo without turning around, only nodding.
After receiving permission from Granny Wang, Huang Ziyao and Hongxing each helped Zheng Qing'er on one side and quickly left, not even bothering with the fruit on the ground!
As soon as the person left, Granny Wang called out loudly, "Young Master Xia!"
With just one shout, Xia Donglai appeared beside Bai Nuo at the bottom of the cliff. He looked at Bai Nuo and asked, "Young Madam, are you alright?"
Bai Nuo shook her head and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's okay, just pull me up quickly, I'm so tired!" Hanging down there while holding onto Mudan, the exertion was immense.
