Huo Xicheng didn't stand on ceremony and let He Yuhan feed him chicken soup. The chicken soup was delicious; he felt it was the most delicious food he had ever eaten.
After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Huo Xicheng felt much better in his stomach.
He Yuhan said, "You just had surgery not long ago, so eat some liquid food first, and then eat solid food after you have recovered a bit more."
Huo Xicheng said, "I'll do whatever you say."
Huo Xicheng got tired after sitting for a while. He was still very weak after waking up from surgery and needed to rest properly.
He Yuhan then helped him carefully lie down on the floor.
Huo Xicheng said, "Yuhan, you haven't rested at all, have you? I'm fine now, you should get some sleep. You need to rest well so you can take good care of me."
He Yuhan was indeed very tired; she could barely keep her eyes open.
She didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Then I'll sleep for a while. If you need anything, just call me. Don't get up by yourself. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you aggravate the wound and cause it to bleed again, and the wound will heal even more slowly."
Huo Xicheng said, "Okay, I'll definitely call you if I need anything."
He Yuhan lay on the floor and quickly fell asleep.
Huo Xicheng looked at He Yuhan sleeping beside him. Although they were in the wild, in this simple cave, there was a sense of peace and tranquility. He felt very at ease with He Yuhan by his side.
Lying down and watching He Yuhan's sleeping face, Huo Xicheng also fell asleep.
After more than two hours of trekking, Han Yixian and his group finally reached the top of the cliff that He Zhendong had mentioned.
Meanwhile, the cliff top was bustling with activity. He Zhendong was gathering the ropes that everyone was carrying. He was going to connect these ropes together and then use them to descend directly down the cliff.
Upon seeing He Zhendong, Han Yixian quickly asked, "How is the situation? Are you sure Yuhan and the others are down the cliff? Haven't they found a way down?"
He Zhendong said, "There's a high chance that Yuhan and the others are down there, but we can't find a way down. If we go too far, we won't be able to pinpoint the location at the bottom of this cliff."
So I think the most accurate and time-saving way is to go straight down from this cliff.
Han Yixian said, "Then I'll go down, you guys wait upstairs."
He Zhenhua said, "I'll go down with you and let Zhendong take command from up here."
He Zhendong said, "I'll go down too. Xicheng might be down there as well."
He Zhenhua said, "Who will be in charge up here once we're all down? Yi Xian and I can go down first. Once we've landed, we'll signal by pulling the rope three times. That means we've reached the bottom of the cliff, and you don't need to lower the rope anymore."
We'll send you a message once we make a discovery. We'll carry this small radio with us.
He Zhendong said, "It will be dawn soon. Wait until it's a bit brighter before you go down. Nobody knows what the situation is down there. It's better to go down when it's light, as it will be safer that way."
He Zhendong's words made sense. Han Yixian and He Zhenhua tied the rope around their waists and then counted the things they would need while waiting for dawn.
As Han Yixian waited anxiously, the darkness gradually receded and the light gradually brightened.
Han Yixian didn't want to wait any longer. He said, "I think the light is about right. Let's continue descending slowly. It will be dawn soon."
He Zhendong was also anxious, so he didn't stop Han Yixian and said, "Okay, you guys be careful."
Then they organized people to pull Han Yixian and He Zhenhua down the cliff little by little by holding the rope.
He Zhendong kept a close eye on the rope, telling everyone to be very careful and to go slowly.
Han Yixian carried a small radio on his back, while He Zhenhua carried medical supplies and medicine. Both of them were very careful, trying to find places to climb and take footholds, climbing down little by little.
The cliff face was covered with vegetation, and in some places it was very slippery, causing them to frequently run into trouble. They would either get scratched by branches or slip on their feet. If it weren't for the rope tied around their waists, they would have fallen off the cliff long ago.
Their clothes were torn in several places by tree branches, and they had several bloody scratches on their faces and hands. They couldn't wear gloves at all for fear of them slipping off, and their fingers were bleeding.
Soon the two of them looked extremely disheveled, almost like beggars.
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight shone on the cliff, Han Yixian and He Zhenhua finally reached the bottom. They untied the rope, tied it to a tree, and each pulled on it three times.
The person holding the rope at the top of the cliff felt that the rope was no longer under much force, and then felt the rope being pulled three times, and said, "The person has reached the bottom of the cliff."
He Zhendong said excitedly, "Great! Quickly tie the rope to the tree so it doesn't fall. Communicator, pay attention and keep an eye out for any messages coming from below."
He Zhendong was conflicted at this moment, hoping to hear news about Huo Xicheng and his younger sister, but also afraid to hear news of their misfortune.
After Han Yixian and He Zhenhua reached the bottom of the cliff, they observed their surroundings. He Zhenhua suddenly shouted, "Yixian, look, the grass here has been flattened. It looks like it was just flattened recently."
Upon hearing the shouts, Han Yixian immediately ran to He Zhenhua's side, squatted down, and examined the marks on the ground.
He said excitedly, "These are indeed recent traces. They are very likely left by Yuhan. If they fell off the cliff, they will definitely be alright and will find a way out. Let's search the surrounding area."
He Zhenhua said, "Are you so sure Yuhan is alright?"
Han Yixian gave He Zhenhua a meaningful look and said, "You don't understand Yuhan. She has her own ways of protecting herself. Even if she falls off a cliff, nothing will happen to her. The most important thing now is to find their whereabouts as soon as possible."
My biggest worry is whether they've been shot. But with Yuhan there, they should be fine. Don't you know how skilled Yuhan is at medicine?"
He Zhenhua didn't ask any more questions after hearing Han Yixian's words. His younger sister did indeed have many strange traits, which he had mentioned to his father before. However, his father forbade him to ask, saying that he should just help his sister keep the secret.
It seems my younger sister does indeed have a big secret, and Father probably knows some of it too. Han Yixian certainly knows even more. After all, they're a couple.
They soon discovered many more traces; the grass had been trodden over.
Han Yi first sent a telegram to He Zhendong, informing him that they had safely reached the bottom of the cliff and everything was normal. They had found traces of someone having been there, but hadn't found anyone. Their initial assessment was that Yu Han and Huo Xicheng were still alive and had probably gone to find a way out. They were going to follow the traces to search for them.
He Zhendong was very excited after receiving Han Yixian's telegram on the cliff top. This meant that his younger sister and the others were very likely down there. The fact that no bodies were found meant that they were still alive, which was the best news.
He Zhendong quickly sent the message back to his father and the others, hoping to make them happy.
He Chenglin and the others were naturally very excited to receive the news from He Zhendong. As long as he was alive, that was more important than anything else.
