What he could not forget in particular was the feeling of holding that small, soft ball that smelled of grapes and milk in his arms. Every time he held that ball, he felt like his heart was about to melt.
"The rope is falling, the Third Master should be coming up." Lao Liu exclaimed.
He and three other men had been waiting in the canyon from dusk until dark, and from dark until late at night, never daring to take their eyes off the rope.
My heart tightened as Xiang Wentian got deeper into the canyon, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had reached the bottom of the canyon. I thought Xiang Wentian would soon find something and climb up, but I didn't expect him to make any movement.
Time passed minute by minute, the moon had already set behind the treetops, and just when my mood was sinking to the bottom, the rope finally showed signs of being pulled.
"The rope was pulled, and the Third Master came up!" The subordinates also exclaimed.
"Hurry, help pull the rope up, slowly." After a pause, Lao Liu reacted.
So the four of them rushed forward, grabbed the rope together, and slowly pulled it up.
With the help of Lao Liu and the others, Xiang Wentian and Leng You's ascent speed immediately increased.
It was already late at night, the moonlight faded, and the darkness before dawn made it even more difficult for the people in the canyon to see the situation below the rope. They did not dare to turn on the flashlights, for fear that they would shine into Xiang Wentian's eyes and endanger his personal safety.
I didn't dare to think too much, especially about what Xiang Wentian had discovered at the bottom of the valley, and whether he had found Leng You.
Although Lao Liu had the answer in his heart based on his understanding of Xiang Wentian, he knew that Xiang Wentian would never come up unless Leng You was found.
And this is what he dared not think about the most. He dared not think about what Leng You would be like.
Lao Liu was actually extremely conflicted. He wanted to pull Xiang Wentian up as soon as possible to find out Leng You's condition; but he was also afraid that after Xiang Wentian came up, he would see the result he least wanted to see.
After adapting to the darkness for a long time, I can recognize some images at a short distance.
Finally seeing the black shadow on the rope, Lao Liu and his companions sped up pulling the rope.
"Third Master...Miss...?" It was not until they pulled Xiang Wentian's arm and pulled him to the top of the valley that Lao Liu and the others saw Leng You behind Xiang Wentian.
"Miss, she..." One of the subordinates saw Leng You lying motionless on Xiang Wentian's back, and his heart sank to the bottom. He didn't dare to ask the rest of the question.
"Miss……
It’s all my fault. It’s my fault. I got the lady into trouble.
"Third Master, please punish me! I have harmed the young lady, I am sorry for her."
Lao Liu was so guilty that he couldn't even raise his head. He wished he could just shoot himself to death. He felt that he was the one who caused Leng You's death.
Xiang Wentian: “…”
No one could see clearly that the black lines on Mr. Xiang San's forehead had piled up and fallen.
"Third Master, I'm sorry! We didn't protect the young lady well enough, we should be punished, please punish us! But please be gentle..."
"Shut up!" If Master Xiang hadn't been worried about waking up the little guy on his back, he would have kicked these dog mouths that couldn't swallow ivory to the bottom of the valley.
"What's wrong? Why did I fall asleep?
Hey...it's already here!"
The person on Xiang Wentian's back was finally awakened by some rough yet mournful voices.
Leng You rubbed his eyes, his mind still a little unclear.
He didn't understand how she could fall asleep given her physique and the surge in power from the plug-in just now, so he frowned and thought seriously.
