"I really don't know about this. I rarely go into the mountains. In the past, only Tang Can's parents often went into the mountains. In the whole Shangao Village, for so many years, only their family knew how to hunt. Especially this place, the old people used to say that there were tigers in the mountains and people were not allowed to enter the mountains, so I didn't know even more about it." Zhao Daniu shook his head helplessly.
Qin Zijin's heart couldn't help but sink.
Not to mention whether there is a road to the bottom of the cliff, the cliff is so high that if you fall down, you will be seriously injured if not dead.
Moreover, there might be some poisonous insects or something like that under the cliff. If someone falls down, will he still be able to survive?
However, she still felt unwilling to accept the fact that she could not see Tang Shen's body.
After looking at the cliff for a long time, she finally made up her mind: "Sister-in-law, Brother Daniu, I won't give up until I see Tang Shen's body with my own eyes. I will go down, no matter what means. I must go down and take a look."
"But..." Miao Cuicui wanted to persuade him, but when she met Qin Zijin's firm gaze, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhao Daniu, Cheng Zhihao, and the others exchanged glances, and then Cheng Zhihao asked Qin Zijin, "Sister-in-law, do you have any way to get down? This cliff is probably hundreds of meters deep, and it's difficult to get down."
"Let's find the village chief first. There are so many elderly people in the village, there must be someone who knows how to get down. If no one knows, then I will tie a rope around my body and climb down the cliff." Qin Zijin's eyes were firm.
She always felt that Tang Shen was still alive, waiting for her to save him somewhere.
Every moment we spent together during these days is still vivid in my mind.
Qin Zijin admitted that she didn't want anything to happen to Tang Shen.
Seeing Qin Zijin's insistence, everyone had no better idea.
Zhao Daniu went to find Zhao Mantang and the others, while Cheng Zhihao went to the village to ask the old people for ways to get down from the cliff, and the others waited there.
Half an hour later, Zhao Mantang arrived with his men.
"Qin Zhiqing, you said you want to go down the cliff? You can't go down this cliff. The older generation has said it countless times that you can't go into the deep mountains, and you can't go to the bottom of this cliff." As soon as Zhao Mantang came over, he looked at Qin Zijin with a serious face.
Qin Zijin frowned: "Village Chief, I think Tang Shen is still alive. He must be waiting for us to rescue him down there."
"Impossible! This cliff is at least four hundred meters high and it's all steep. If he really fell down, there is absolutely no possibility of survival. You don't have to hope for the best. Tang Can's parents were chased here by a pack of wolves and then fell off the cliff. Do you think Tang Can would not go down to save them if he could save them? They are his parents!" Zhao Mantang flatly denied Qin Zijin's idea.
Qin Zijin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Another half an hour passed before Cheng Zhihao came back panting.
After catching his breath, he spoke again: "I asked the elderly men and women in the village, and they all said that there is no way down this cliff. There is no way down, and there is no way out, unless you jump down."
This completely destroyed Qin Zijin's last bit of hope.
Her heart ached, she was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.
She also needs to consider Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng.
They are still unconscious. If anything happens to her when she goes down the cliff, the two children will die.
Everyone looked at Qin Zijin, waiting for her to make a decision.
Qin Zijin clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he felt no pain.
After a long time, he slowly exhaled and said weakly: "Let's go back."
Hearing her words, everyone felt relieved.
After everyone left, the cliff became quiet again. Only the birds flying in the sky chirped once or twice, but at the bottom of the cliff, it was very quiet, without any sound at all.
"I'm here to accompany you for the next two days, Zijin. Please don't get upset." Miao Cuicui was really worried and offered to accompany Qin Zijin for a few days.
Qin Zijin shook her head and said with a forced smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"I know you feel sad, but no matter how sad you are, we have to keep going. Since Tang Shen is gone, the funeral must be held in a grand manner." Miao Cuicui sighed.
"No, Tang Shen is not dead yet. He will definitely come back." Qin Zijin shook his head firmly.
If the funeral was really held, it would mean that Tang Shen was truly dead.
By then, he won’t even have a household registration.
There really is no such person in this world.
Seeing Qin Zijin like this, Miao Cuicui thought she was just being optimistic and thought Tang Shen would come back, so she sighed deeply again.
"Tang Can came to me yesterday morning and said that he was looking for someone in the village to help rebuild the kitchen. Also, the roofs of the houses you live in need to be repaired. Now that he is gone, I will find a few people in the village to help you repair the houses. You don't have to worry too much. Just live a good life. If you need anything, just tell everyone, okay?" Zhao Mantang put his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Zijin with regret in his eyes.
Qin Zijin nodded to show that he understood.
Zhao Mantang called a few people, all of whom were the most capable and hardworking in the village, and asked them to help build the kitchen.
Qin Zijin moved a stool and sat in the yard, watching them busy themselves.
Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng were unconscious, Tang Can was missing, and the house suddenly became deserted.
Several times, Qin Zijin subconsciously called Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng, but unfortunately, no one responded to her.
That feeling of emptiness in the heart is really not pleasant.
Building a kitchen is not a big project and it can be built in a day.
But the stove hasn't been built yet, so we have to wait two days.
Qin Zijin sent away the people who came to help and gave each of them a red envelope of one dollar.
After they left, the house suddenly became quiet again.
"People are really strange. In modern times, they stay at home all day long, don't like socializing, and don't like going out. Now that I'm left alone, I feel uncomfortable." Qin Zijin smiled self-deprecatingly, and still cheered up to wash rice, vegetables and cook.
Miao Cuicui is right, life must go on.
She must not fall.
The meal consisted of three dishes and a soup.
When it was brought into the house, Qin Zijin subconsciously called out, "Mengmeng, today we have your favorite big chicken drumstick, you..."
After shouting, Qin Zijin looked at Tang Simeng lying unconscious on the bed, and felt as if something had gently pierced his heart, causing him to feel a slight pain.
He ate quietly alone, cleared the dishes, and finally sat down beside the bed, looking down at the two unconscious children.
It took a long time for Qin Zijin to realize that he had entered the portable space. The most urgent thing now was to earn more points and exchange the silver needles as soon as possible. In addition, if he wanted to cure the two children, he needed to exchange for a medicine, which required a lot of points.
Now is not the time to be sad.
