Without saying a word, Lin Qingze grabbed Lin Chuxia and headed back the way he came.
"Brother, what you just said was..." Lin Chuxia felt a glimmer of hope and looked at Lin Qingze expectantly.
If a person falls from such a height and the ground below is flat, the chances of survival are slim.
However, Lin Qingze hurried along without turning his head and said, "There's a river down there."
Most of the mountain paths are accompanied by a large river flowing through the valley. Jinxiu Valley is surrounded by clear waters and verdant mountains, and the river below has almost single-handedly sustained the people of this land.
Lin Chuxia had previously lost her ability to think and didn't even remember the existence of the river below. Now, after Lin Qingze reminded her, she remembered the river.
"Brother, so you mean Gu Yuheng is still alive?" Lin Chuxia's eyes instantly lit up with hope.
"I don't know, but I don't think he's the kind of person who gives up so easily."
Before Lin Qingze could finish speaking, Lin Chuxia excitedly shook him off and rushed ahead of him.
"Xiaxia, be careful!" Lin Qingze quickly followed.
When Lin Chuxia and Lin Qingze reached the bottom of the valley, the people Lin Qingze brought had already begun a thorough search.
“Although they might be swept downstream, they shouldn’t be carried too far. Xiaxia, don’t worry, we will definitely help you find them. Wait for us on the shore!” After saying that, Lin Qingze also plunged into the water to search for them.
Lin Chuxia didn't want to wait idly on the riverbank, so after thinking for a moment, she walked upstream along the river, calling out Gu Yuheng's name as she went.
Worried that Gu Yuheng might be in the water or unconscious and unable to hear her, Lin Chuxia called out with all her might, which made her voice hoarse in no time.
However, even though her throat was starting to hurt, Lin Chuxia didn't stop. For a moment, her voice echoed throughout the entire valley.
Even below the river, when Lin Qingze plunged into the water, he could clearly hear Lin Chuxia's voice.
It would be a lie to say Lin Qingze wasn't heartbroken to see his sister shouting so carelessly, but in this situation, he couldn't comment on it; he could only try to find someone as soon as possible.
The river wasn't particularly deep or shallow; the water level was roughly at the collarbone level of an adult male. If Gu Yuheng was conscious when he fell in, this depth shouldn't have been fatal.
The problem is, he fell from such a height; the immense impact would have likely knocked him unconscious upon impact. If someone is unconscious, they could die even in shallow water, let alone deep water.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to find them. Lin Qingze took a deep breath and submerged into the water again…
And above the river channel.
Lin Chuxia continued to shout persistently, worried that she would miss Gu Yuheng's response. So she kept her eyes fixed on the river and walked backwards towards the upper reaches of the river while shouting. Because she was not paying attention to her footing, she tripped over the pebbles on the riverbank several times.
The river remained completely still, and the silence amplified Lin Chuxia's fear.
Just as her voice was about to become so hoarse that she could no longer speak, Lin Chuxia suddenly heard a slight cough.
Lin Chuxia was stunned, then looked up at the source of the sound with a face full of surprise!
