Luo Baobao came to his senses and didn't feel anything.

She rubbed her nose and reminded Zuo Jinling: "Aling, don't just listen to me, be careful where you step!"

Zuo Jinling hummed.

Luo Baobao pointed to a protruding stone somewhere and said, "Did you see that stone? There was a rope on the side of that stone. That belonged to my father."

"We couldn't find my father, but we only found this rope here. One part was tied to the stone, and the other end was hanging down. We pulled up the hanging part and found that it was broken in the middle."

"The location where the break occurred was no more than ten meters long, and the cliff is far more than ten meters deep. I suspect that my father fell because the rope broke!"

When talking about the latter part, Luo Baobao's voice became deeper, and he cast his eyes towards the dark abyss and valley at night. He dug his hands hard into the hard ground beside him, and his brows knitted together!

A cold moon slowly hung on the treetops. In Zuo Jinling's eyes, Baby Luo seemed to be a different person. The bright and flamboyant girl inside was gone.

The girl in front of me was thin and haggard, with red and swollen eyes. She might have secretly cried behind everyone's back these past few days.

But in front of people, especially in front of her group of female soldiers, she tensed up and arranged the camp in an orderly manner...

She must be very tired.

Zuo Jinling also wanted to touch her head and comfort her.

But he knew very well that any words of comfort at this moment were feeble.

He came here not to talk nonsense, but to help her.

A soldier came to report that dinner was ready and invited Luo Baobao and Zuo Jinling to come over.

Luo Baobao raised his hand and waved away the soldiers, and then said to Zuo Jinling: "Come with me to eat something to calm your stomach. Sleep well tonight and we will discuss countermeasures tomorrow morning."

Zuo Jinling did not move and asked Luo Baobao: "Why would Uncle Luo think of going down this cliff?"

Luo Baobao was stunned for a moment, and then explained in detail to Zuo Jinling.

It turned out that based on the clues left by the escaped mountain man, they concluded that the entrance to the mysterious village should be nearby, most likely in the valley at the bottom of the cliff.

So Luo Fengtang planned to go down to the valley to have a look.

"Originally, it was my uncle Ye Yi who went down, but after descending a few meters, I discovered that uncle Ye Yi was actually afraid of heights!"

Afraid of heights?

Zuo Jinling's eyebrows were slightly raised. Ye Yi was so powerful that he could fly over eaves and walk over walls. How could he be afraid of heights?

But then I thought about it, even the most powerful masters will have their own weaknesses.

The height of the overhanging wall is incomparable to the depth of the cliff.

Furthermore, climbing over the eaves and walking over the wall means going up, while going down the cliff means going down. You may not feel anything when you look up at the birds in the sky, but when you look at the fish in front of the abyss, the psychological oppression caused by the overlooking will completely disappear.

different.

Luo Baobao then said: "It's true. Uncle Ye Yi is really afraid of heights. As long as he looks at the abyss at his feet, his whole body will tighten and his back will sweat."

"When my father pulled him up, his clothes were soaked through!"

Zuo Jinling nodded slightly.

He understood that feeling was not because Yoruichi was not brave enough, but because he was unable to restrain his psychological fear.

Just like some people are afraid of cockroaches. Is it true that a person's physique cannot defeat a small cockroach?

But it is fear, which is a reaction from the body's instinct.

"Later, my father sent Uncle Ye Yi back to the camp. He went back to the cliff by himself. This time he didn't come up again. When we found this place, there was only half of the rope tied to the stone..."

At the mention of the rope, Luo Baobao's body trembled slightly.

Zuo Jinling thought she was chilled by the mountain wind, and was about to take off his cloak to cover her shoulders, when suddenly she raised her hand and slapped him in the face!

"What a bastard I am, why can't I reinforce the rope! I killed my father!"

Luo Baobao blamed himself, waved his hands and slapped himself twice.

The applause was clear and loud, hitting the face and immediately leaving clear traces of five fingers.

Luo Baobao raised his hand to hit himself again, but his wrist was held by Zuo Jinling.

His fingers are long and slender with well-defined joints.

But strength cannot be underestimated.

At this moment, the gentleness on the handsome face faded away and became fierce.

"Sister Wuyou, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself!"

Don't even hurt yourself like this!

Luo Baobao raised his eyes, already blurry with tears.

"Aling, my brother and sister are incompetent. If I had known that my father would be involved, I shouldn't have gone out of my way to save that cunning mountain man!"

The sharpness on Zuo Jinling's face faded away, replaced by tenderness and distress.

He stood up and came to Luo Baobao, covered her with his cloak, and sat on the edge of the cliff with her.

"Cry when you feel sad, and stop torturing yourself after you've cried."

He tilted his head and stared at her quietly, handing over a handkerchief to her when she was crying.

"Thanks."

After all, Baobao Luo was just a fourteen-year-old girl. It was her first time to encounter such a thing. The person who had the accident was the person she had relied on the most since childhood and was her backbone.

She was really scared and didn't know what to do. She wanted to ask her mother for help, but her mother's situation was special.

Her parents had a deep relationship, and she was worried that her mother would not be able to withstand the blow, and that something would happen again between her mother and her brothers and sisters.

So she could only carry it on her own and search for her father day and night.

During the day, she climbed down the cliff with a rope tied around her waist, but every time she reached a certain depth, she had to stop due to many reasons.

But she didn't give up. Today, she pitched her tent here, and she fought against the cliff. She wouldn't go back until her father was rescued!

Ever since Luo Fengtang's accident, Luo Baobao has been searching silently in front of others, and has never shed a single tear.

Even in front of Luo Tiejiang and Yang Huazhong, she would comfort them in a positive and optimistic manner.

Tonight, she sat next to Zuo Jinling, hugging her knees. Under the cool and refreshing mountain breeze, the sadness that had been suppressed for several days was finally released.

When her tears stopped flowing and people said she was tired, she leaned against Zuo Jinling's shoulder and seemed to fall asleep.

The soldier behind him came to ask for instructions again, and Zuo Jinling made a silent gesture towards the soldier.

She is too tired. She has been stretched as tight as a bow these days. Let her squint for a while first!

Even if it's a big deal, you have to rest first before you have the energy to face it and solve it.

After a while, Yoichi also came over.

Seeing the two siblings sitting huddled together next to the rocks on the edge of the cliff, Yoruichi slowed down a bit.

Hearing the noise, Zuo Jinling turned his head to look at Ye Yi and said softly: "Sister is asleep."

Ye Yi sighed softly, "She is like a bow that has been stretched too tight these days."

However, this girl couldn't relax in front of the elders at home, but she was so relaxed in front of Zuo Jinling, who was younger than herself.
