C526 Hearing Qu Yichen's Voice

This time, Jian Xi had only climbed two steps before she fell down. Her arm seemed to have broken something. She picked it up and took a closer look. She could not see anything clearly. She just felt very concerned when she touched it. There was something smooth at the tail, and on the other end... It was a little prickly.

The thorns reminded Jian Xi of something and made her happy.

Why didn't she think of this method earlier?

Thinking of this, she immediately started to do it. Jian Xi reached out and fumbled in the darkness. But to be honest, even though she already roughly knew what the situation at the bottom of the cave was... When she was searching, Jian Xi only muttered in her heart. She broke out in cold sweat, afraid that she would touch something strange and come out alive. For example, the snake that was easily found in the mountains.

Just thinking about the sound of the snake made Jian Xi's heart shiver. Compared to snakes, compared to the bones of the skulls that she had seen a few times and stayed together for a long time, it was not that scary.

Perhaps he had already gotten used to it!

Finally, she touched a palm-sized stone at the bottom of the cave. Jian Xi let out a sigh of relief. She picked up the wooden roots that she had found in her arms and touched the wall. Picking up the stone in her hands and the wooden stick that she did not know what it looked like, she felt the hole that she had stepped on before. He stuffed the wooden stick into it and threw it into the hole with his hand.

If it was a wooden stick that felt small, Jian Xi would stuff two or three wooden sticks into it until it hit the top of her head. Because she wanted to raise her hand to smash it, it did not take long before Jian Xi's hands became tired.

After resting for a while, she continued.

Feeling that it was about time, Jian Xi put the stone and wooden stick into the bag and began to climb up. It was as if she was stepping on stairs, step by step.

But because she could not see, Jian Xi could only stretch her feet in the darkness to feel around. There were a few times where she almost fell when she stepped on air. Jian Xi was so scared that her heart almost jumped out.

Hence, her actions were even more careful.

Finally, she touched the hole, but it was still somewhat difficult to climb out like this. Jian Xi took out the stone in her bag and planned to build a foothold according to the original method.

After she was ready, Jian Xi prepared to step out, but when people were unlucky, drinking cold water would cause them to have teeth stuck out.

Just as Jian Xi was about to climb out, her foot was in the air. The wooden root that she had just thrown in fell because of the soil falling out of the hole.

Her hands were tightly clutching the cave entrance and her feet were searching for a landing spot in the air. However, she did not find anything and her hands were unable to hold on due to the gravity of her body.

Finally, she fell back into the cave again.

Jian Xi could not help but want to cry. Her hands touched that skull. Perhaps it was because she was too sad, Jian Xi actually picked up the skull. She could not help but shed tears as they fell onto the skull's body.

She did so much effort, tried so many methods, but in the end, she still fell back into the cave.

"Could it be that the heavens want me to stay at the bottom of this cave to accompany you?" Jian Xi sobbed and said self-deprecatingly. "Or am I the same as you, dying at the bottom of this cave, until finally turning into bones?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt sad. Her entire body was in pain. She must have been injured when she fell down.

After silently crying for a while, Jian Xi felt that crying was useless. What she should do now was to store her strength. Otherwise, when she had no strength to escape tomorrow, she would reach out and wipe away her tears with her sleeve.

However, she had fallen into the hole countless of times and there was not a single clean spot on her body. Especially her sleeves, which were very dirty. With this wipe, she did not wipe away her tears, but instead almost let the dust enter her eyes. Jian Xi could only stretch out her hand to wipe the clothes inside, as she wiped them, she sobbed and said.

"All of you bully me. All of you bully me. Even my clothes bully me."

After calming down, Jian Xi finally calmed down. Leaning against the wall, she looked up at the stars in the night sky. Jian Xi deeply understood what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well.

Through the hole that was only the size of a basin and looking at the flickering stars, Jian Xi could not help but be stunned. Her hands hugged the skull in her arms even more tightly and her fear gradually disappeared.

When they arrived at the mountain top, the barren land was still okay. They could see everything with one look but the other side where the weeds grew was hard to see. Everyone could only go around with two people and call Jian Xi's name at the same time.

Qu Yichen was also supported by the Lady Boss. His eyes searched in the darkness as he anxiously called Jian Xi's name. As long as she responded, he would definitely hear her voice.

"I think I heard someone calling my name." At the bottom of the cave, Jian Xi looked up at the starry sky and suddenly lowered her head and said.

Jian Xi perked up her ears and listened carefully. She was pleasantly surprised to find that it did not seem like she was hearing things but that someone was really calling her name. "I think I heard Qu Yichen's voice."

Could it be that the Lady Boss and the others saw that she did not return, so they brought people to the mountain to look for her?2

Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Jian Xi was willing to seize the opportunity. She hoped that they would find her, so she stood up and shouted loudly. "I am here, I am here."

"I am here, Qu Yichen."

She sounded like she had shouted too hard. After she shouted, Jian Xi couldn't help but cough. She felt like she was going to throw up.

"Sigh, the heavens want me dead!" Jian Xi leaned against the wall and said with a sigh.

However, Qu Yichen seemed to hear Jian Xi calling him from the night wind. He suddenly turned his head to look at the barren land. When he wanted to listen more carefully, he did not hear her again.

Qu Yichen once suspected that he was hearing things, but he did seem to have heard Jian Xi calling him just now. Qu Yichen could not be at ease, so he wanted to walk over there.

However, he was stopped by the Lady Boss. "Where are you going? You have to follow me closely. If you lose it, I can't afford it."

"I think I heard Jian Xi's voice."

"Ah! Did she hear it? "The Lady Boss also perked up her ears, but other than the chirping of animals, the sound of the night wind blowing, and the people shouting for Jian Xi, she did not hear any other sound!

"Are you hallucinating?! I did not hear it! Maybe you were too worried about her."

Qu Yichen thought so too, but he heard it again. There was a voice in his heart telling him that it was Jian Xi. Qu Yichen also had a certain degree of recognition for his intuition.

"It's her! I heard her voice over there!" Qu Yichen firmly pointed in the direction of the barren land and said.

The Lady Boss saw how serious Qu Yichen was talking and looked at the other side. Everyone was looking for them seriously, and it seemed like they were not too far away. Moreover, it was indeed not easy to find Qu Yichen in the grass with him. Since Qu Yichen was worried, they would accompany him to take a look, and then they would be able to feel more at ease.

"Then I'll accompany you to take a look." The Lady Boss agreed.
