Eternal Tranquility

Chapter 4 Falling off a cliff



A loud roar of fright and fury was heard from outside the car, as well as the wild neighing of a horse.

It turned out that one of the gangsters was stabbed but his vital parts were not injured and he kept lying on the ground pretending to be dead. This man was originally hired by the group who wanted to attack the Fu family. He was seriously injured after being stabbed. He couldn't escape for a while, and he refused to get up and work hard again, so he simply lay down under a dead man and pretended to be dead, waiting for the Fu family. Let him go so he can escape. Unexpectedly, the Fu family had nothing to do and came to clean up the corpses. There were countless corpses lying randomly along the way. Who had the time to care about them? The Fu family was really full to hold on.

I saw the carriage that was well protected before. There must be extremely important people in the Fu family on that carriage. At this time, all the intruders were repulsed. Most of the guards around the carriage went to help clean up the scene. The guards were very lax.

Seeing that he was about to be discovered, he was heartbroken, thinking that even if he died, he would be buried with him. Then he saw that the Fu family actually had such a precious thing as a horse. This man was almost dying, but this horse lived longer than the man. It was still comfortable, but it was really annoying, so I got up and gave the horse a knife.

The horse was stabbed in the waist and abdomen. It was in great pain. It raised its hooves and neighed. It pulled the carriage wildly and jumped around in the crowd. The guards around it were kicked and trampled and fell to the ground. No one dared to approach for a while.

The carriage quickly rushed out of the crowd. A woman's panicked screams were heard in the carriage, and the gangster laughed. Then he was kicked to the ground and slashed with knives.

Not to mention the head of the Fu family and the guards who were anxiously chasing the carriage, the carriage was already in chaos.

The violent bumps shook people unsteadily. Due to the sudden incident, the young master of the Fu family was sitting eating at the time. He was caught off guard and hit his head against the wall of the car, with blood pouring down his face.

Mrs. Fu crawled over and hugged him desperately, shouting his name in a panic. The maid in yellow shirt lay on the ground unable to move, but Liu Qinghuan reacted quickly and hugged the short girl. Looking out the window, the barren mountains and dead trees are retreating rapidly.

"Mrs. Fu!" Liu Qinghuan suppressed the panic in her heart and shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and jump out of the car with the young master in your arms! There is a cliff at the corner of the mountain in front of us!"

Mrs. Fu did not respond, holding the silent child and crying.

Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to move in front of her with difficulty, probed the young master Fu's breathing, and shouted: "Mrs. Fu, it's okay, the young master just fainted. Hurry and jump down with him in your arms. If you don't jump, it will be too late!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Fu finally had some reaction. The maid in yellow had crawled and opened the car door. The two car doors were shaking wildly, and she saw that the horse pulling the cart in front had a knife stuck in its waist and was spraying blood. The cliff ahead has appeared.

Liu Qinghuan and the maid in yellow shirt helped pull the quilt and wrapped it around the young master. Mrs. Fu moved to the door, turned around and shouted: "You two should jump down quickly." After saying that, she gritted her teeth and rolled out sideways.

"Hurry!" Liu Qinghuan shouted, but saw the maid in yellow robe huddled by the door, looking at the rocks passing by with a look of fear on her face. Liu Qinghuan was so anxious that when he saw the cliff was approaching, he pulled the maid in yellow shirt and didn't care to look anymore, so he jumped out with his eyes closed.

The next moment, the carriage rushed over the cliff and fell straight down.

------------------------------------------------

When Liu Qinghuan woke up again, it was dusk the next day. The mountain wind blew by, and he was unable to move at all in the vine net hanging in mid-air. There was pain everywhere in my body, and when I moved my arms, my left arm felt excruciating pain, but I didn't know if there was any internal injury.

Thinking of last night, Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, it was a step too late.

At that time, he and the maid in yellow shirt jumped out of the car in panic and crashed into a tree on the roadside. The two of them were knocked apart. The maid in yellow shirt was lucky and crashed into the other side of the tree, while Liu Qinghuan crashed into the cliff. this side.

He reacted quickly and grabbed the weeds in the crevice of the cliff, but the strong impact made it impossible for him to steady his body, and he continued to slide straight down. Fortunately, he was small and light, and there were a lot of vegetation on the cliff, which buffered him all the way until he fell into a network of vines and passed out.

Even adults are helpless in this situation of being unable to move up or down. Although Liu Qinghuan has become smart because he learned a lot from begging since he was a child, he is still only a ten-year-old child.

Up, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the top of the cliff, making it seem unattainable; down, the deep canyon was at least twenty or thirty feet away from the ground. It was frightening to see, not to mention that his whole body was in pain at this time. Can't move at all.

All thoughts were lost for a moment. Thinking of the past, little Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but shed tears.

He was abandoned from the moment he was born, and he began to endure the hardships of life as an infant. The beggar's den in Ning'an City is just a low thatched hut with a big hole in the roof. It is located in the most remote corner of the city. In winter, it snows and the house is as cold as an ice cellar; in summer, it rains and is so humid that mushrooms can grow. Old man Liu and him, one old and one young, could only stay in the coldest corner.

When Old Man Liu was young, he was the son of a wealthy family. He walked around and watched the flowers every day and lived a very comfortable life. He never imagined that he would end up begging when he was old. Fortunately, he was literate and could occasionally write letters to others. I could barely make ends meet, but I was old and frail, and having slept in such an environment all year round, I got severe rheumatism. My knee joints were swollen like steamed buns, and I gradually became paralyzed.

When Liu Qinghuan was four years old, she began to wander around Ning'an City with other beggars, snatching away the food she could barely make a living like a little hungry wolf. But seeing that he was getting older, Old Man Liu, the only person who had ever given him warmth and protection, was gone again, and there was war and famine again. For the young man, life was filled with hardships, hunger, and warmth.

Just watching the sky gradually getting gray and the moon rising, Liu Qinghuan was tired of crying, so she stared at the sky blankly, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When he woke up again, it was daylight and he felt much better. It is better to die than to live. Since he did not die after falling off the cliff, it means that God is not ready to accept him. The ancients said that surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings later. Maybe he will live for a long time!

The pain in his body had also eased a lot. Liu Qinghuan tried his best to observe the surrounding environment. It was impossible to climb up. It was too high and he might not be able to support it with his physical strength. But climbing the vines down to the bottom of the cliff is not as difficult as imagined, but how to escape from this mess of vines is even more difficult.

Liu Qinghuan tried to untie the vines wrapped around his body, but the net only caused the vines to shake wildly. He was so frightened that he immediately stopped and did not dare to move. He felt dizzy even if he looked down.

I had no choice but to move my body slowly, freeing myself from the vine net inch by inch. I was already breathing heavily from exhaustion. After resting for a while, I carefully climbed down the rattan. It took me half a day to get to the bottom of the cliff.

Liu Qinghuan collapsed to the ground and took a long time to recover. The next step is to find a way out. It's just that he followed the refugees all the way, but he didn't know the way to Tongda City. Even if he knew, it would be impossible to go around the mountain and catch up with the refugee team where the Fu family was.

Without the protection of the Fu family, a child like him might be just a piece of fat delivered to the doorsteps of those hungry refugees. So we can only think of another way out.

Suddenly I recalled hearing someone say on the road that a few days' walk north would be the branch of the Hengwu Mountains.

The Hengwu Mountains are a giant mountain range that stretches thousands of miles across the western part of the Yunmengze Continent. The tall peaks are connected to each other, raising the terrain of the entire western half of the continent abruptly. There are towering ancient trees in the mountains, as well as countless ferocious rare birds and animals. People who enter often escape death.

But this world has long been devastated, so where is the safe place? On the contrary, the vitality of mountains and ridges is often extremely amazing, and he may still have a chance to survive if he enters them.

Liu Qinghuan made up his mind and decided to head towards the Hengwu Mountains, but the most important thing now was to get out of this canyon first.

The valley is very shady, and the mountain walls on both sides block most of the harsh sunlight, so the vegetation here also has a glimmer of life and grows lush and vigorous.

Liu Qinghuan was walking while looking for something to eat. As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and shouted in ecstasy!
