Just as he was about to look up and shout again, he met a pair of big eyes looking at him.
"Sister Gu!"
Ma Liangren was stunned; he actually saw Sister Gu arrive!
Gu Zuozuo looked at the two unlucky souls, one small and one large, trapped in the two-meter-deep pit, her eyes crinkling slightly, sparkling like stars.
"Wait."
With that, Gu Zuozuo turned and ran out, and soon returned dragging a long vine behind her.
“Ma Liang, tie the vines around your waist, and I’ll pull you up.”
Ma Liang's eyes sparkled, and he obediently tied the drooping vines around his waist.
"Sister Gu, I'm all better!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly lifted into the air. Before she could react, she landed in a fragrant and soft embrace. She blushed instantly, not knowing what to do with her hands. At the same time, she was thinking to herself, "Is this the kind of embrace my mother has?"
Gu Zuozuo gently placed Ma Liang aside, patted his little head, and gestured for him to stay still.
"Don't move around, I'll set your bones in a bit."
As he spoke, he threw the vine down again, looking down at the man below who was no more than forty years old but looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.
"Comrade, grab the rope, I'll pull you up."
Xie Changzheng looked a little embarrassed. Although he was very thin, he was still a man and his weight was not light. He didn't have the nerve to ask a seemingly delicate woman to pull him up.
"No...no need, I can climb up by myself."
As he spoke, he tried to climb up using both his hands and feet.
Gu Zuozuo watched him perform the gecko-like act in place speechlessly, which exhausted him quite a bit. In the end, after trying for so long, he couldn't even lift his feet off the ground.
"Hold on tight, the pit is too deep, it won't be easy to climb out."
Xie Changzheng, embarrassed after trying for so long to no avail, blushed and finally obediently listened to Gu Zuozuo, grabbed the vine, and was lifted up by her.
That's right, it was lifted up without any effort!
This girl is incredibly strong!
Ignoring the man's scrutiny and astonishment, Gu Zuozuo found a few flat wooden sticks and used a dagger to trim the vines before walking over to Ma Liang to examine his twisted left leg.
"Sister Gu, I think my leg is broken."
Ma Liang's nose was filled with sobs. The thought of his broken leg, which prevented him from gathering firewood to earn money for his grandmother's food, made him extremely sad, and his eyes became even redder.
Gu Zuozuo's slender, porcelain-white fingers traced along his calf. Just as he was still immersed in grief, she grabbed his knee with one hand and lifted his calf with the other. With a crack, Ma Liang was caught off guard and screamed in pain, his voice splitting into two, almost bursting into a wail.
It hurts so much... Waaaaah...
Gu Zuozuo quickly tied the stick to his head with vines, then smiled and rubbed his head. She was immediately disgusted by the greasiness on his head. How long had it been since this child washed his hair? His hair was so oily it was almost radiating light.
After dealing with Ma Liang, she turned her attention to the man who had been acting uncomfortably. Looking at his patched clothes, his thin frame, and his rough, dark skin, she felt that he was completely different from the scholarly air he usually exuded.
"Who are you····?"
