With a scream, the soil under the tractor loosened, and the tractor, which was originally teetering on the edge of a balance point, finally lost its balance and fell down.

The place where they came to collect firewood was halfway up the mountain, and if they fell down, they would be at a very high cliff.

"Oh my god!"

Even though the two people pointed out by Shen Ai Qiu were already very close, they were still a little far away. If they took two more steps forward, they would fall down together.

Shen Zhizhu followed the people in front of her to the collapsed area. When she arrived, she could not see Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun at all. She could only see the tractor falling down quickly.

But the screams of Shen Ai Qiu and Du Manjun could be heard in the valley, and the sound gradually became fainter and farther away, until finally no sound could be heard at all.

As you know, this is the bottom. We didn’t hear any loud noises, but we could see many birds being startled.

Shen Zhizhu shouted towards the valley at the top of his voice.

“Cousin——!”

But there was no way Shen Ai Qiu would respond to her anymore, so Xu Haonan held her in his arms and patted her back affectionately to comfort her.

Someone looked at the depth of the valley and shook his head.

"There's no hope. He fell from such a high place, there's no way he could survive. Let's call the police and look for him. Hey, what do you think this is?"

Some people wanted to say a few words to forgive Shen Zhizhu, but they didn't know how to start.

"You, don't be too sad. Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun teamed up to kill you and Haonan. Now they deserve it."

They were all honest people in the village all their lives, and they had never thought of committing murder and arson. What a good guy, Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun, set fire to Shen Zhizhu and tried to burn him to death.

They tricked someone into falling off the cliff, but ended up dropping a rock on their own feet. All we can say is that they deserved it.

The two uncles who rescued people were very regretful.

"Hey, if we move faster and take bigger steps, they won't fall down, right?"

"It's not your fault. You are familiar with the situation of Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun. If the movement is too big, who knows if the place where you are will collapse as well and you will fall down as well."

"Besides, Du Manjun suddenly went crazy. If it weren't for his slap, they might not have fallen."

"If they hadn't had the intention to harm people and the tools they brought with them, causing problems with the tractor, they wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation. To put it bluntly, they are bringing disaster upon themselves."

There was a soft-hearted auntie who thought about the situation of their two families and couldn't help but sigh and said with some emotion.

"These two families, one went to jail, the other died, and the house is now empty. Li Chunlan at least still has a son, but after Du Zaide was released, the old man had to send off the young man, which is really pitiful."

Some people also felt sad when they saw the fallen tractor.

"We've been busy for most of the day collecting firewood, but now it's all gone. Since Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun are planning to use the tractor to frame Shen Zhizhu and the others, why do they want to drag everyone along? Isn't this just making fun of us? This is too immoral."

Shen Zhizhu smiled in his heart. They dared to plot murder, so what moral or immoral thing was there? They didn't drag everyone to die together, which meant they weren't completely crazy yet.

Shen Zhizhu felt that she had cried enough, so she secretly patted Xu Haonan's arm. Xu Haonan understood and let her go.

"Don't be too sad. The weather is cold. Don't catch a cold from crying. I'll go with you to the police station to report the crime."

Shen Zhizhu nodded, still looking uncomfortable.

"You're right. Let's call the police. We want to find the body, alive or dead."

She imitated Shen Aiqiu's usual way of comforting the people around her.

"Everyone, hurry back. Everyone was frightened today. Go back and call out their names. The firewood issue is not a big deal. Once we know where they dropped it, the tractor should be nearby. You can slowly pick up the firewood when the time comes."

In this way, everyone felt a lot more relieved. Although they felt sorry that two young lives were gone, they also felt sorry that the firewood they had been working so hard for for so long was gone.

Because some families have a large population, firewood burns faster, and the firewood at home is consumed more. I thought of taking this opportunity to get some back home, hahaha, for the New Year, and there will still be some left over until next spring.

"It's okay. The person is the most important thing. Find him first and bring him back for a proper burial. It would be too pitiful if he became a wandering ghost. Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

Many of them stayed around the collapsed area, and the loose soil at their feet fell down as they moved.

Xu Haonan hugged Shen Zhizhu and walked away from that place, while giving instructions to everyone present.

"Everyone, please stand back. It doesn't feel very safe there. Let's go down the mountain first and make plans for the rest later. Grandma, your family has run out of firewood. I'll bring some back to you when we get back. Ah Zhu and I don't use much, so there's still a lot left at home."

He knew that after this incident, Shen Zhizhu felt somewhat guilty towards those who could not get firewood because of the falling tractor.

Especially for the elderly who have difficulty walking, they can only pick up a small amount each time. It just so happens that there are quite a lot left at home, so it is better to send some to them so that the elderly will at least not lack firewood for the winter.

Hearing this, Shen Zhizhu reacted even faster than the old lady. He raised his head and stared at Xu Haonan with his big, sparkling eyes, seeming to be very surprised.

[Ahhh, how come my husband thinks exactly the same as me? Just now I was thinking about whether I should send some of the extra firewood at home over, and I was thinking about discussing it with him after the matter was over. Then he said it right away. As expected, husband and wife are of the same mind. We are getting more and more in sync with each other. Hehehe, it’s great, hehehe~]

Xu Haonan felt that he was already very good now. He could listen to Shen Zhizhu's inner thoughts and imagine in his mind that given her temperament, her expressions and movements when she said these words must be very interesting.

"Let's go with you, especially the two of us. We were supposed to rescue the man, but if we fail, we still need to report the situation to the police station immediately. Don't let any misunderstandings arise. That would be bad."

So, originally only Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan were going to the police station together, but now there were five people in total.
