Chapter 347 Negative Example
"Shi Tou!" Shi Tou's mother let out a shrill cry, her eyes went dark, and she almost fell down.
"Night Blade!" Gu Jiayue also shouted out loud, her heart instantly rising to her throat.
Everyone crouched on the roadside like crazy, watching the two figures rise and fall in the flood, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing at the end of the rain...
"Wow, wow, wow... What should I do? My Stone..." Stone Mother collapsed in the mud, crying heart-wrenchingly, at a loss.
Gu Jiayue clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She forced herself to calm down, "Don't panic, everyone. Ye Ren is very skilled. He will definitely find a way to get Shitou out of danger. They'll be fine!"
Having said that, he still had no idea what to do.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was going to drown the whole world.
The gap in the broken road was getting wider and wider, and the path under their feet was constantly shedding mud and could collapse completely at any time.
"Jiayue, we can't stay here any longer!" Hua Qingzhu's face was solemn, and he pulled Gu Jiayue's arm, "If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we will fall in too!"
How could Gu Jiayue not know?
But there were two children, Kuikui and Guangzong, on the other side. If Ye Ren was swept away with the stone, what would happen to the two children if he left? Was he just going to watch them fall into despair?
"System, are there any rescue tools that can be used?" Gu Jiayue asked anxiously in her heart.
The system was silent for a moment, then replied: [Yes, it is, but you suddenly took it out in front of so many people. Aren't you afraid of being mistaken for a monster and burned to death?]
This is exactly why Gu Jiayue has been hesitant.
The rescue tools that can be used are all quite large. If she took them out out of thin air, even a fool would be suspicious.
Even though the villagers usually have faith in him, people will always feel fear when faced with unknown things.
Once fear spreads, people tend to lose their rationality and want to eliminate the source of their fear.
It is easy to imagine what is waiting for her.
Gu Jiayue gritted her teeth, her eyes becoming firm: "No matter what, saving people is the most important thing! At worst, I'll leave after saving them and find a new place to start over!"
The system doesn't care about this. After all, the world is almost over, and as long as you are happy, host, everything is fine. The communication channel is cut off, so what if it goes wrong?
It paused, then reported the item information: "There's a retractable bridge in the mall. It requires 1,000 Education Points. Confirm the purchase?"
Gu Jiayue was just about to say "buy" when a deafening "boom" sound suddenly came from above her head, as if the sky was about to collapse.
The system's alarm sounded instantly: [Host, be careful! A huge rock is rolling down!]
But the reminder was still a step too late. Gu Jiayue had been kneeling on the ground just now to see more clearly, and now she had no time to react.
At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly swept over, hugged her tightly, and rolled her down the cliff.
The heavy rain made it impossible for Gu Jiayue to open her eyes, and the sound of whistling wind and flowing water filled her ears.
She could only vaguely feel that someone was holding her tightly. The embrace was firm and warm, and there was a familiar and refreshing scent emanating from his body.
She wanted to open her mouth and ask "Who are you?", but a big, broad hand suddenly pressed the back of her head and pressed her face firmly against the other person's chest.
A deep and powerful voice sounded in her ears, soothing her: "Don't be afraid!"
Gu Jiayue was held tightly in his arms, everything in front of her eyes was dark, and she could only let her body roll and fall with the person holding her.
Sharp branches scraped against her body, bringing waves of stinging pain, as if she were being cut by countless small knives. Her ears were filled with the clatter of falling stones and the occasional suppressed groan from above her head, each one like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
"Jiang Luli? Is that you, Jiang Luli?" She struggled to speak, her voice trembling slightly due to nervousness and turbulence.
The person holding her didn't answer, but suddenly tightened his arms and held her even tighter, as if he wanted to embed her into his bones and blood.
But Gu Jiayue was already extremely certain that the person coming was Jiang Luli.
That familiar breath, that steady strength, who else could it be but him?
He is finally back?
This thought was like a glimmer of light, instantly illuminating her panicked heart.
My thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, with all sorts of ideas coming up and receding, but in reality, all this only lasted a few seconds.
When she came to her senses, her body suddenly felt lighter and she landed steadily on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Luli's voice was slightly hoarse.
Although I wanted to hold her still, I finally let her go. After all, the situation was urgent, and hugging her was a last resort. But now that we were safe, it would be rude to hold her any longer.
Gu Jiayue shook her head and quickly looked up at him, her eyes scanning him anxiously: "I'm fine, nothing happened. How about you? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine too." Jiang Luli said lightly, but the corners of his mouth pursed slightly.
This height might be fatal for an ordinary person, but it was nothing to him. The fall was purely sudden, leaving him no time to react. However, to prevent Gu Jiayue from getting hurt, he used his body to shield himself from the damage. His back was hit several times by falling rocks and still hurt.
However, he could not tell Gu Jiayue all this because he did not need Gu Jiayue's gratitude or guilt.
He paused and asked, "Do you want to rest for a while and then I'll take you up."
Gu Jiayue immediately waved her hands, her face filled with anxiety: "No need, Ye Ren has also fallen with the stone, and there are two children, Kuikui and Guangzong, waiting for rescue on the other side of the flood. We have to find them quickly!"
Jiang Luli reached out and gently patted her shoulder, trying to calm her anxious heart. "Don't worry. Ye Ren has a solid foundation in martial arts. This cliff is no problem for him. They may have already climbed up from somewhere else. And I have other men up there. They will definitely rescue them immediately and won't let anything happen to the children."
Hearing this, Gu Jiayue's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. A relieved smile instantly appeared on her face, and a look of ease appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
But Jiang Luli's expression remained serious, his brows furrowed, and his tone deepened: "I know you care about the child, but you can't take your own safety so lightly and put yourself in such a dangerous situation!"
Gu Jiayue saw that he had a serious face. Although the words he said were not pleasant to the ears and contained a hint of blame, she could feel the concern hidden behind the words.
She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and explained in a low voice, "The situation was so urgent at the time that I was only thinking about saving people and had no time to think about anything else."
"If anything happens to you, I will definitely write you into the history books as a negative example to warn future generations!"
